I seem to be experiencing a variation of the known "silent call" bug. Instead of not being able to hear a person when they call me or I call them, the audio cuts out for about 5-10 seconds at various times during most conversations. This was never an issue with my previous phones (3VO, Instinct, Nextel phones, etc.) and most of the time, the other caller has full signal strength on their end when this happens. My signal strength is usually good too at the time of the occurrence. The good news is the audio eventually picks back up after the 5-10 seconds of silence and I'm glad I don't have to reboot my phone to resume the conversation but it is very annoying. No one likes to ask, "What did you just say?" repeatedly throughout a conversation.
Anyone else experiencing this one? Any solutions?

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.
Is anyone else seeing an issue where they frequently can't hear the caller when receiving a call, but the other person can hear you? I'm seeing this very often (almost every call I receive, about 7-8/10), not every call, but most. It never happens on outgoing calls. I've rooted and applied the update.zip to fix the GPS. Come to think of it, I've only noticed it since applying the update.zip. Perhaps undoing that would remedy it. Just thought I'd check if anyone else has seen a similar issue
I know it sounds silly, but are you sure your voice call volume is up? Try pressing the volume up button while in a call to see if that works.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes

That was of course, the very first thing I checked. I usually just hang up and immediately call the person back after first explaining that I cannot hear them. Good suggestion, but I'm fairly certain that's not my problem.
Then to be honest, I'm not sure. You may want to try to wipe back to stock, but that is a little extreme.

Just wanted to bump this post, as this happens on almost every call I receive... it's not volume, it's not google voice (which I suspected) because it happens on a direct dial to my cell #... and it happens inconsitently (one call I can't hear, they call back and I can).
The only common denominator is that they can always hear me.
Right now I'm running Trigger 3.2 with Bali 1.8.8uv kernel
Try muting and unmuting when this happens, it may very well solve the issue
sent from the xda app on my android smartphone.
Perhaps a problem with your speaker?
Maybe you have an intermittent problem with your speaker? Although it really doesn't sound like it since you can call back immediately and hear them.
Just a thought. I recently had to replace the back speaker in my phone.

If you can hear them through a headset (not BT for testing purposes) then you have an earpiece issue and should have it (the earpiece) replaced. If your problem does not change with or without a headset then it could be a rom or interfering app issue. I would back up and flash back to stock to see if it still happens. That will tell you what to do from there.
Hello my x10 mini is experiencing a problem. I updated to the 2.1 firmware right when it came out and everything seemed to be ok for a few weeks. Now I have traveled to Florida and am experiencing something incredibly annoying. When someone calls me it starts to play my ringtone, stops after about 0.5 seconds and shows that I have a missed call.
Then I guess it proceeds to voicemail because people have been leaving me messages. When I updated nothing was wrong but now it seems that something happened, any tips or clue into what is going on?
Thanks
I've seen the same thing happen occasionally, though I'd always just put it down to there not being a strong enough signal for the phone to receive the call - If you're travelling, it's possible you're just not getting as good cell reception than you do back at home (or whatever network you're roaming on to isn't doing a good job at redirecting calls to your phone)
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
Hi,
My wife and mom both have new Galaxy Ace 4 Lite G313ML's; they're both new and unlocked. Most of the time when they make calls, the recipient hears repetitive beeping continuously when they're not talking. Sometimes after about a minute of being in the call, it stops. I think that after it stops, if they make a call again soon after, it is still gone. Both of them are on Straight Talk (on AT&T's network).
The beeping is not every few seconds or every minute; it occurs continuously while they're not talking (but it's still individual beeps, not a continuous tone).
I tried disabling various things that could be related to notifications or anything network-related, but I wasn't able to get rid of it. I thought that turning off Wi-Fi made a difference at first, but since then it has continued to happen with Wi-Fi off.
Has anyone experienced this problem before, or does anyone have any suggestions for was to fix or work around it?
Thanks!
