Misc items: Call Logs & BLN Mainly - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

This is a major annoyance to me, but my Call Logs show incoming/outgoing texts as well. How do I have it only show my calls instead? I know this was done via ROM on the Captivate.
Also, is there anything in the works to get BLN working? I'm not sure why Samsung doesn't enable the bottom buttons for notifications from the start.
Thanks!

Samsung doesn't on any device.
As to anything "in the works" - we barely have custom kernels working. I still need to integrate codeworkx's initramfs fixes into my repo. Also, while I haven't had too much time to look in detail, on first inspection it looked like our touchkey hardware for the bottom buttons is identical to the Infuse. If that is the case, don't expect BLN any time soon. Developers far more capable than myself tried and were never able to get it working without causing random kernel panics.

Gotcha! I wasn't sure what all was involved. Thanks for the response. Any idea on the call log issue?

it's not an issue, it's what Samsung does. Some modders pull out text messages in that log on some custom roms, but on a stock rom, I don't think you can turn off the text messages from showing up in that list. it annoys me too, but the only way I can get rid of it is flash a rom where the dev removed it.

We have the options to list dialed calls only and a few other selections. The problem is, it won't stay when you go way from it.

[Q] LG P500 and endcall (call block)

In LG Optimus One endcall function does not work, so do not work correctly call blocker apps. Can this be fixed in a custom ROM?
telephonyService.endCall() function BUG
Hi everyone!
I confirm that there is a bug with telephonyService.endCall() function which consist in passing call to this function to nowhere, thus making ALL call blocking software useless, because they can't discard unwanted calls.
Can anyone fix this problem? I believe in you, GURU, take a look on this problem please.
With respect and hope, Max.
I really think this topic deserves a bump. And a solution.
Same problem here. End call function simply doesn't do anything on this phone making call blockers completely useless. I tried all O1 roms and even the original rom with the latest update and still doesn't work. Every call blocker says that call was blocked while you are watching it ringing.
By the way until someone comes with a fix, i found a temporary solution which requires Tasker or Settings Profile application.
If you want to send the blocked number to the voicemail, simply program Tasker to switch to airplane mode on and off or if you want to do the pick up and hang up action program Tasker to accept the call first then switch to airplane mode on and off.
As you can tell it will disconnect you from your network temporarily but Tasker is quite fast doing it so you will be on again very quickly. Putting your phone into airplane mode will end the call very quickly which call blockers can't do for this phone right now. You can do all these with Settings Profile too with the same steps.
Until a software fix, any other ideas are more than welcome.
(Unknown and private number value for Tasker is 0).
I have had the same problem and confirmed with Tasker developer that this is bug in LG Optimus One. Airplane mode is good solution if you do not protect your sim card with pin code. Else, after airplane mode is switched on and off, you will be prompted to insert pin and until you do so, your phone will not be reachable
I would prefer different solution...
I think we need to ask the guru to fix this problem. I said two weeks ago with mik_os about this issue, he replied that he might look, if not occupied by another.
Bump
This is something that is important as we cannot handle unknown calls.
If anybody has some solution, it would be appreciated.
I'm working on that.
For now I'd found by debugging phone with adb that endcall function really do something, but it seems that at the wrong time:
[ 02-16 20:27:52.451 1589:0x635 D/PhoneInterfaceManager ]
[PhoneIntfMgr] CMD_END_CALL: no call to hang up
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That message appeared two seconds after we got the call (it's a mystery what phone was doing during those 2 secs), but before the framework starts to search corresponding contact to the calling number.
May be we have to wait several seconds after we get the call to invoke the encall() function again?
I'm a starter with android and I have not so much time for that, but I'm now trying to write a little program that will invoke endcall() function any time a want to prove/disprove my theory.
If anyone had written such program already, you can share sources with me to let me test that condition, or try it yourself.
UPDATE:
I've just tested it: there is no matter when you invoke endcall() function, the result is the same "[PhoneIntfMgr] CMD_END_CALL: no call to hang up". So digging deeper.
Last information from Android sources (how it should be in Android and doesn't work on our phone):
method handleMessage(Message msg) of class MainThreadHandler in PhoneInterfaceManager.java doesn't call method hangup(CallManager cm) of class PhoneUtils in PhoneUtils.java
Digging deeper...
First of all, that's environment I have:
- LGP500 device )
- "void" custom firmware
As I mentioned before, method handleMessage(Message msg) of class MainThreadHandler in PhoneInterfaceManager.java doesn't call method hangup(CallManager cm) of class PhoneUtils in PhoneUtils.java.
To check what's wrong I tracked that method to Phone.apk in /system/app/ directory of "void" custom firmware, which was grabbed from original LGP500 2.2 firmware, unpacked it and dedexed classes.dex file from it. To my great surprise I've found that it really omits call to hangup method of PhoneUtils class and do many things, that doesn't cross with Android sources. So LG programmers did their own "Android" with their own bugs. I have to say that it omits call to hangup method only for GSM call, but it has to be done for CDMA calls well.
I'll try to build Phone.apk from Android sources. This may take a while (maybe a week or so). Or maybe I'll edit dex file and repack Phone.apk with a new one. We'll see when I finally get some sleep
FYI, there is another way to block calls by diverting some call numbers to voice-mail. This is built-in Android function. That could be done in your phonebook by selecting a contact, pressing menu button, selecting options and checking "Incoming calls, Send calls directly to voicemail" checkbox. This way works more quickly than any other methods, used in callblocker software. So blocked caller immediately hear busy tone. I'll dig in sources how it works and maybe will find a better way for callblocking software.
Sorry for my English.
Thanks for your efforts noteb. The main reason that I want this function to work is to hangup on unknown caller id using Tasker. I am using company phone and cannot change my number. Let me know if you need any help.

Of course I need help. What kind of help can you offer? Do you know how to build Android on Ubuntu 10.10? I've read couple of articles about that, but still it would be great if somebody familiar with that can join that topic. I'm familiar with linux only in network services administration and a little with programming in couple of languages.
BTW, I've found another bug in our LG firmware - Skype (and another one program, that I can't remember name of) can't switch sound to speaker. Instead it always playing sound (I mean voice of person you're talking with) through loud speaker. And again I think the problem is somewhere in standard *.apk files, which are Android framework.
Had anybody tried gingerbread?
Had anybody tried gingerbread from that topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909242 ? Does it solve the problem? I'm currently reading that topic when I have time (there are a lot of words not in my native language) to decide whether it worth to be deployed on my device. Because of that currently I had stopped further investigation to solve the problem on froyo.
If anybody has some experience with that gingerbread build, let us know please.
I have flashed my phone with mik's Cyanogen rom and end call is working fine using tasker cyanogen-only press hardware key. End call will not be available in 2.3 as Google has removed call api's (read more on Tasker forum).

Hardware EndCall works on our froyo with key remap also. I was asking is it API "endcall" function working (you can test it with simple "CallFilter" program from the market)?
BTW, that API works fine on Nexus One recently upgraded to gingerbread. So information about removing call api's is a fake. Also I can refute that information as I saw this API's in gingerbread sources with my own eyes.
I can confirm the API endcall function works perfectly in 2.3. Using CM7 for the ls670/optimus s.

[Q] Official ICS Notification Issue

I'm not sure why but my notification sounds will stop working at a random times. I have to restart my phone to get them working again. I'll have text messages and email without a peep from my phone. Notification volume is at Max and will even play the default tone when adjusted but will not play a notification sound or vibrate for any event until I restart.
I can also now confirm that both my at&t GSIIs with ICS do this but mine seems to be more frequent.
Anyone having this issue?

have ya done a factory reset? Pulled battery for a few? checked the water things inside the phone?
all **** at&t will ask you to do.
Factory reset will most likely fix, or its just the fact that your running a stock at&t build.
I've done all of the above and no a factory reset didn't fix it.
Also my phone is not the only phone this issue is affecting. Both of my GSIIs are doing it plus the other folks if you look at the other forum posts.

screen on delay after calls

i have been searching but cant seem to find a answer for this and i didnt see it listed in the common problems thread.
after every call the is a delay before the screen comes back on. this also happens during the call when i need to pull up the keypad.
if theres a app out there that can adjust the delay that would be brilliant if not some way i can edit a setting would be good.
ill be very grateful if anyone can help
Noticed this as well, it's very annoying. Could someone with AOSP comment on this, to check if it's a touchwiz problem.

Im also experiencing the same wait for comments.
I just gave my S3 to my wife few days ago and she is quite mad at me for not letting her buy an iPhone
Honestly I understand her on this... she uses it a lot for what it actually is mostly (a phone to make phone calls) and for her work she needs to spend a lot of time calling call centers:
The 2 seconds delay every time she had to deal a number on dialer was too much for her, so in the end I had to flash a AOSP rom and the delay is zero now. (as well the delay to open phone/contacts apps and wakeup the screen from sleep is zero too).
If I used my phone more to make calls, I guess I'd switch to AOSP too on my new Note 2 (and I like some S Pen and multiwindow features too much atm)

[Q] Atrix and headset on CM9

Hi.
I was using my Atrix with CM7 MROM for long time.
Yesterday I switched to CM9 Olympus with new kernel by krystianp. It's great rom but...
I got two little problems:
1. when I plug my headset I don't have icon informing about this.
2. when headset is plugged it auto pick up calls. I found something like this "phone>menu key>call settings>Accessory settings for call" but I don't have this options in my dialer or anywhere else.
Can anyone help me with this? Icon is just a feature I liked but auto answering calls is a little disturbing for me. Especially when I don't know who is/was calling.
It is pretty clear you don't know what you're doing, or else you wouldn't flash an experimental ROM and then complain about a bunch of already very well known issues.
I suggest in the future you stick to GB ROMs and stay away from things you don't understand.

I thought auto answer was normal function which is working and I didn't find anything about problems with it. So if it can be turn on should also be able too turn off...
I know that new kernel and roms are in development and that they have some bugs (proximity sensor, screen tearing, problem with some games) but one app which I needed runs only on 4+ Android.
So could answer me it is possible to turn off auto answering calls or it is bug which I miss reading threads about kernel/cm9/cm10?

Android 10 update broke calling

Got the update last night. Tried to check voicemail morning and was greeted with Alvin & The Chipmunks blabbing at me. It's like the speed of the call is x20 speed or something. It's completely unusable. Phone sluggish as hell, too.
Anyone know what's going on with the voice speed? I've never heard of anything like this.
I'm supposed to get a callback for a job interview I had yesterday. Pretty crappy timing. How is Google going to push an update that breaks calls like this? Absurd.
its nokia that pushed the update they did not make the rom right
Same here I told nokia about it and they told me to wait for a bug fix. I told them I wanted to downgrade since your firmware bug broke my phone.
Just wait for a bug fix? So use a Phone that cant make calls right?
So payed a guy to unlock my boot loader to try to flash a rom so i can just make the phone usable.
I spend about 6 hours try to get the rom to work. With little to no luck I was able to get into twrp a few times.
So ya Im in the same boat. I just got this phone back 3 weeks ago from a rma due to a bad chargeing port. Now Im forced to pay some one to unlock the boot loader and try to get a custom rom Just to be able to call
If I cant get the rom working Im going to have to go spend like $200 on a new phone today just sucks

Same thing happened to me with the sped up chipmunk-y sound. It happened during the dial and after someone picks up. Though it didn't seem to happen every time. Also, I didn't notice it on any incoming calls, just outgoing.
I tried a few things to fix it--rebooting, clearing some app caches, etc. Nothing seemed to work.
My next step was to try a factory reset, but then all of a sudden the issue disappeared. No new update was released/installed, so I just assumed the issue had been on my provider's end (T-Mobile), and they fixed whatever the problem was.
As for sluggishness of the phone after the update: I agree. It seems a little sluggish to me too. Not anything that is making the phone unusable. But it is noticeably more sluggish than when 9.0 was installed.
Have you guys modified the phone in any way like unlocking the bootloader or rooting?

I haven't. Just using whatever over the air OS Nokia pushes to the phone.
yes I did pay to unlock the boot loader I used linage from the rom section
it has all the bugs of the stock rom. Cant call out or with out the loud noise bug and no voip apps work
I did get the Android 9 based rom to work. it has a few bugs but its usable.
I more or less gave up im looking at a iphone now.
I spend 20 hours or more trying to get this phone to work
first the usb port goes out and I cant charge.
2 weeks after having the phone back I got a magnetic cable so the usb port would not brake any more cable. That was like $20
After 2 weeks android 10 more or less bricks the phone (a phone that cant make calls)
Then I have to spend like $15 to pay the poor guy to unlock my boot-loader (he did a great job)
I spend a lot more time loading the linage android 10 rom for it to have the same bugs ( in no way is it the devs fault im sure he did not know).
... can unlock your bootloader for a small fee.
I would say all android 10 based rom will have those kind of problems. I can only confirm it on the android 10 linage one
When I flash twrp most of the time the twrp would just freeze if booting form the phone.
I had no problem loading it with fastboot works evey time. So I would only use it install the rom and just boot it when you need it. I would not suggesting flashing it to recovery as it only worked some of the time for me.
Hope all that info helps

How to fix the phone call problems
To everyone having calling issues (distortion / squealing, or other people can't hear them), try this: Turn off Voice over LTE. You go to Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> VoLTE, and turn that setting off. This fixed the problem for all 3 Nokia 7.1 phones in our family, when nothing else seemed to work.
Turning off VoLTE and wifi calling works, but VoLTE is important in my area with TMobile. Without it, too many dropped and missed calls. I actually downgraded from an Xperia XZ1 just to get VoLTE, now this happens.
I have TA-1085 running Android 10 that was pushed OTA on 12/25, while I do not have calling issues (from native call app) initially, calling from all 3rd party app (e.g. Messenger or Wechat) are not working: I can hear other side, while the other side can not hear me.
In addition to disabling VoLTE, I also changed the 'preferred network type' (see posting from author 'fiumaxx' on nokia's user forum, search there using android-10-after-update-on-nokia-7-1 as search string). I changed it to LTE/CDMA which works well for me.
Normal call sound is back to normal but 3rd party calling still not working.

This worked for me:
Go to Settings/Apps and Notifications and then tap on where it says See All xx Apps. Scroll down until you see the Google app and tap on that. On the next screen you see, tap on Permissions and then tap on Microphone. A small window will pop up, and you must change the setting from Allow to Deny.
After changing this setting, Google Assistant won't work (no Hey Google), but the fix is persistent after reboots. This makes me think the real problem may be with the Google app. We'll see.

Thank you so much for sharing! Works like a charm
Unfortunately denying microphone for the Google app did not work for me. I also noticed no one can hear me when making videos calls (Hangouts, Duo, Facebook messenger).
I then decided to factory reset, but did not help. Both VoLTE and video calling still not working.
Anyone else with video calling mic issues?

I had the same symptom on normal phone call (other side could not hear me). In my case, it was the Google Assistant not releasing the microphone, and here what worked: open the system settings, go to Google (service&preferences)/Account services/Search, Assistant&Voice/Voice/Voice Match. Them make sure Access With Voice Match is ticked off.
Or try opening settings, searching at the top for "Voice" and open "Voice Match", and tick off "Access with Voice Match".

Confirm this recipe works for my TA-1085. Thanks much.
I solved my random voice problems (others can't hear me on Duo video call, duplex voice on the other side etc.) with the voice match assistant workaround until hopefully gets fixed in a next update. Don't know for sure if the thing is only on Nokia's side or Google app's as well on Android 10, since disabling Hey Google solves all issues
Will have to try/catch on future google app updates as well to find out

Under "Voice Match" I don't see any "Access With Voice Match" setting. What I do see is "Hey Google," which says "Access your Assistant any time you say "Hey Google" when your screen is on." Perhaps this is what your mean?
I tried this solution and it works, too. I think it also has the advantage of not completely shutting down Assistant's access to the microphone. Just waking up Assistant by voice. Much less of a price. Thanks!
Has anyone heard anything about a real fix for this issue? I've gotten two Android updates since the upgrade to Android 10, but this issue has not been fixed yet.
After extensive talks and inside info on Nokia's community forums, seems like a Maintenance update (MR) is on the way for May, which they say fixes -among others- both voice bugs. That is, the echo on calls plus sound distortion in some games (e..g Monument Valley 2 for me)
Cross your fingers everyone for a quick release and confirmation of the fixes!
Today was the day at last....! MR update showed up rolling out globally and echo during calls plus crackling sounds in games are finally gone
Better late than never NOKIA
