Several times when I have received a phone call, I try to answer it, and the ringing stops, and the caller is sent to voicemail.
I don't think I'm doing it wrong, slide down bar to answer call etc. A friend said it was ringing at his end for about 40 seconds, but i only heard it for about 5?! There have been times where I see my phone light up as a call is coming in, but it doesn't ring, and I can't answer the call. I'm expecting some important calls, and don't want to not answer them.
Could it be that the processor is being overwhelmed, and not allowing me to answer/phone not ring. Or is it a fault with the phone, or me?!
1) I have had similar problems.
2) If you do hear or see it ringing, swiping down on the lower 1/4 of the screen seems to work for me. That is, if I swipe down like I normally do to unlock the screen, it won't answer the call. If I swipe down only on the bottom portion of the screen it works ok.
similar problem here. I wonder if you swipe too big, does it pull the lock screen down, and bump the ignore/send to vmail button somehow. not sure why, but its happening to me and it sucks! missed the last 3 calls today bc of it. makes it hard to run a business thats for sure!
I use a phone service that diverts calls simultaneously to my landline and mobile and my landline often gets 2 or 3 rings in before the Hero's trackball starts to flash (although once yesterday they did both manage to ring at nearly the same time). Some of the delay is the mobile network finding the phone, but the phone does seem to take a long time to respond to the incoming call.
One option is to extend the length of time before calls are diverted to voicemail. At http://www.cellular.co.za/gsm_hash_code.htm is a list of GSM Network Codes, which includes, towards the bottom, one for extending the period before calls go to voicemail. It looks like the maximum is 30 seconds. I don't know if there is an equivalent for non-GSM networks.

Hi!
Long intro to give you a picture of what I mean (scroll down to red text for question):
I've been noticing how many minutes I was calling lately with my vodafone plan, so I decided to take a closer look at my use. Turns out most of my minutes/units are 00:01 minute "calls". The thing is that I'm getting charged for a full minute (it's rounded up to the nearest minute, so 00:01 minute = 01:00 minute) when I call.
The same thing goes for voicemail. If I want to call someone and they don't answer their phone, I get their voicemail. As soon as I hear the first words of the voicemail I hang up...unfortunately this already costs me 1 minute.
Now for my question:
Is there a way/app to make MY phone hang up before I get THEIR voicemail?
Thanks!
Why not just count the number of rings before their voice mail picks up and hang up before you reach that number. If they're on a cell phone, they'll see it as a missed call and call you back.
Because every provider (or maybe even every phone) has a different number of beeps:S
I've been having a problem receiving phone calls the past few weeks. When someone calls me, they hear a few rings, then they can hear their own echo. On my end, if I answer quickly, I hear nothing. If I don't answer quickly enough, my phone rings only a couple of times before saying that I missed the call. I can turn around and call the person back and it works just fine.
Other times, the incoming calls work just fine (multiple [>2] rings, audio both ways).
I haven't noticed any patterns.
I've tried HFA a few times along with ##786# and the issue keeps coming back. I **think** this started happening after Error 19 after LazaPanda.
Is this a handset issue, account issue, network issue (maybe NV) or something completely different?
Thanks
Today, made a phone call, and about 30 seconds in, it went on mute automatically. Thought nothing of it because I have fat cheeks, and could have hit the screen. No big deal, only cut off my credit card number to pay for things.
Then took a call less than 5 minutes later to confirm my order, and it did the same auto mute shenanigans on that call, too.
Anybody else notice this?
I have had my G3 for over a week now and there is one issue I can not seem to solve. Anytime I receive an in coming call the phone rings but the screen does not turn on and show me who is calling. I have to fiddle around on a blank screen to have it activate. Every and I mean every phone I have ever had over the years, the screen would always turn on during an in coming call to show who is calling. Am I missing a simple settings somewhere to activate this feature, any advise on this is welcome. Thank you.
Edit: Just to verify, Yes I have the option under Calls activated to have a Pop up on incoming calls, the issues is the screen is not turning on during the in coming call and I can not figure out why.
OK, 37 looks and no one has nothing, that scares me.
It frustrates me quite a great deal that my android is such a great phone (M8), but it turns so dumb when it comes to BT connectivity. The way I have it now, hands free is all but pointless. I like to use it for my phone so I can actually be safe and hands-free, without neglecting my calls and texts during my commute. As it is, when I hit my phone button on my car, I'm presented with 'Say call, followed by a name or a number' and then, 'Would you like to call XX, say okay, or cancel'. It is the most annoying and drawn out method of calling someone in history. Not to mention, if it doesn't hear you right away, it says 'Sorry, didn't catch that', and then just closes down. I cringe every time I have to voice dial. To top it off, there's nothing I can do with texting. How much smarter would it be to have a 'Read unread messages' prompt? Or a prompt to send a text?
So my question is, is there a way to replace this 1990's error voice control app with something actually usable, or am I stuck with this?
