So I installed the OTA update this morning - no problems and reported a successful install.
My first incoming call - NO audio. Same issue as before, but I accidentally found a workaround. I answered the phone and could not hear anything. I hit the "mute" button on the screen - it turned green (mute ON) - and I hit it again to turn it off. Then I could hear the caller, and he could hear me.
After that call I powered the phone off and back on. Wonder if that fixed the issue or not ?!?!?
Any other results to report?
when i take a call, the screen stays lit up..
i end up 'cheek dialing' while on the phone .. other than that, my calls to 'mute' are resolved w/ the OTA
I just OTA'd last night and am still having the audio issue myself. But will try to mute unmute the next time.

Having weird prox issues:
When i make a call, i place the phone to my ear, screen turns off correctly. when the call ends, the screen does not turn back on and there is NO WAY for me to turn it back on. Only way is to batt pull....
Also, after the call has ended, if i receive a call, ppl get my voice mail...ie my phone goes into some kinda purgatory state...anyone else have this issue?
Im on CM7 beta.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I am having issues with ending calls. After I speak with someone and I remove my photon away from my ear, the screen refuses to turn on. The calls stays connected. The only way to end the call is to pull the battery. This happens randomly and frequently almost half the calls.
The entire phone is unresponsive, even the power or volume buttons do nothing. The screen remains off. I guess this has to do something with the proximity sensor.
One thing I have observed is it happens a lot (much more than half) if I get to voicemail or any IVRS system.
I am on beta 0.4.2.1 of joker's. Is anyone facing the same issues? I have had this issue long, pre-beta 0.3
Looking for suggestions and fixes if anyone has one.

I did not experience this issue running 0.4.2.1. First thing I would do is download ScreenOn from the Market and set it to keep the screen on when using the dailer/call function.
Not sure what is actually causing this on your particular device though.
second day and already have many problems:
1. ringtone turned off vibration only. still have ringtone with incoming calls
2. making calls screen turned off once near ear. moving away from ear doesn't turn on the screen. try any button nothing works. have to turn off power to cut
3. smart stay isn't smart. screen still turned black even with bright environment
Am I unluckily with a faulty phone or they are known bugs? thanks
Not to sure mate
I have had NONE! of the problems that you have had, although i have had a few problems e.g. the turn to mute media stopped working and things like that, all i had to do was a restore and it is fine now, i was speaking to the people at the carphone warhouse (phone shop in the uk) they said they have only had 1 return since launch and that was because the screen wasnt big enough and they went for the note, i have also always found that samsung is happy to help you if you have a problem with your phone just give them a ring.
1: you need to explain exactly what you changed.
2: It's supposed to go off near ear because uses proximity sensor to save battery turning screen off.
3: Smartstay just doesn't work as well as it should do.
Straight to the problem: sometimes (and in a very unpredictable manner), when i have an incoming call, plenty of problems show their ugly face. First of all, i sometimes can't accept, or decline an incoming call, because the screen isn't responding to input. Sometimes i can go around this by pressing the on/off button twice, and that would enable the screen. But, sometimes even that doesn't work. The phone just keeps ringing until the caller eventually gives up. When that happens, the phone continues to function normally.
Another problem is constant vibrations i noticed in several occasions. Instead of vibrating in "pulses" or "waves", the phone just keeps vibrating constantly, which can be very annoying in combination with the problem mentioned in the first paragraph.
At first i though it's a bug in my ROM (CM9 port for legend), but have heard people experiencing the problem on other stock devices (Galaxy SII on stock ICS, for example). So it is not that rare, but to this day i haven't been able to find a solution.
Did anyone manage to solve this problem, or find any information as to how this can be avoided?

I have the same problem with my phone. Any solution for this problem thx
Reflash, reflash, and if it happens again - reflash. The screen lock/unlock workaround was working about 90% of the time. I gave the phone to my father (clean new flash) and he didn't experience any issues with the rom so far.
Wondering if this happens to anyone else. Sometimes when there is an incoming phone call the screen remains turned off and there is no way to see who's calling or to answer the call. The power button does nothing. Basically, all you can do is wait for the call to go to voice mail, then wait another 30-40 seconds after which the phone finally responds to the power button and turns on. This drives me crazy. What good is the damn phone if you can't answer important phone calls? Interestingly, this was my biggest complain about the stupid iPhone 6, where a lot of times I would be getting a call and the screen would be frozen. Are the phones only for web browsing and facebooking now? Making and receiving phone calls is a secondary feature and no one complains if it doesn't work?
Second issue. Every phone I've had going back many years has had a proximity sensor, where during a call the screen goes dark once you hold the phone to your ear and wakes up once you move it. The V10 does NOT do that. The screen never wakes up by itself, I always have to hit the power button. Is this a "feature" or a bug?
