Okay, now I'm just plain confused. I have the same missing call issues everyone else is having, either missing the call completely, or getting a missed call notice without the actual call. One time I even got the missed call notice like half an hour after the call.
Anyway, I'm used to all that. But just recently, it's doing something different. I received a call, and knew it once I saw the voicemail show up in my Google Voice inbox. I checked my phone when I saw that, and it was ringing. Apparently my volume was down and I didn't catch it, but I'd assume it had been ringing for a while. But there was nothing about any incoming or missed call. Nothing about calls at all. Aside from the fact that it was ringing, it was completely normal. The ringing didn't stop until I made an outgoing call of my own.
So apparently it got something about the call. At first, I'd assumed it was just a Google Voice notification, but I don't have Voice installed on my phone. So something's making my phone...phantom ring when I get a call, but not telling me about the call in any way.
I'm running MIUI with the Glitch kernel, but this has only been the last two or three calls I missed that did this. Even with the same ROM and kernel, it was fine before.
Anyone have any experience with this? I'm not even sure how to explain it. But if my phone's gonna recognize when someone's calling, it'd be much nicer if I was given an option to answer it.
Hm... I've had the phantom ring and I've had the missed calls, but never at the same time.
Phantom ring is a problem with the cm7/miui ROMS and missed calls is a problem with the handset. So, technically, if you were impatient, you could call Verizon tech support and get a new phone because of the missed call issue and be done with it entirely. Otherwise, you can wait to see if Verizon releases a new OTA to fix the call issue (Check out the ED05 stuff... that's a newly leaked upgrade, but idk what it does), which (hopefully) will fix the phantom ringer as well by allowing the phone to pick up the call correctly.

I'd have just chalked it up to coincidence, but to do it twice in a row like that, it just seems unlikely. I've heard of some phantom ring issue before, but like you said, never when a call should be coming through.
I wouldn't be against having it replaced, but that's not really an option for me. For one, I bought it from someone on Craigslist rather than Verizon, so I'd assume they wouldn't like that. And even putting that aside, I'm not even technically a Verizon customer. I'm with PagePlus. So I figure I'll have to make the best I can of this, or buy another on my own. And really, aside from the missed call issue, I've been loving the Fascinate, so I'd rather not give it up.
It was doing so well for a while, until I flashed MIUI. I don't regret that, though. MIUI is great.
Yeah, I get what you're saying... In which case, wait for the new fix that Samsung is *supposedly* working on to come out and one of the devs to patch it into cm7/miui or a new radio. If anyone else knows of any legit fixes as of now, I'd like to know as well.
In the meantime, it looks to everyone like you're selectively screening your calls - it makes you more mysterious

I really wish I could trust Samsung's word on that.
...I really wish. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't have the most sparkling record when it comes to fixing software issues. Of course, assuming they're footing the bill for these replacements, I'd imagine they probably would want to get it worked out as soon as they can.
There's some new radio in the dev forum, but I'm unsure about that. Nothing's really specified as to whether it's a leaked radio or what. I'd rather not risk flashing it until I know that it's not gonna kill my signal completely or anything.
Well, I've got a bit more info on this. ...Unfortunately, it makes no more sense at all. It would appear that my phone has decided that it won't receive calls with the screen off at all.
If the screen's on, call comes through as normal. If it's off, it simply does nothing at all. The screen doesn't come on, it doesn't ring, nothing. Then once I do turn the screen on, it does the phantom ringing until I do something to stop it. Even if the screen's turned back off. It's also worth mentioning that the ring isn't even my own ringtone. It's the default...ring ringtone.
If I turn the screen on while the call is coming through, it turns on like it's waiting for me to answer the call. As soon as I hit the button, it's showing me the phone screen and starts ringing with my normal ring.
It's worth nothing that it also does this immediately after being locked. So I don't think it's a sleep mode issue. It shouldn't have time to go into sleep mode. Of the issues I've had with missed calls before, I usually need to leave my phone untouched for a while. Not the case here.
It wasn't doing this before, though. And I didn't change anything that should cause it.
...Or maybe I did. Seems turning off the stay awake option in settings worked it out. Hopefully, anyway. Won't know for sure until it...well, doesn't miss calls.
Well, saw a topic about someone's phone reading there text messages out loud, and it reminded me of something.
My buddy said he went to his girlfriend's parents for Thanksgiving and after dinner the girls were all in the kitchen (lol I can hear the jokes already), and the guys retired to the living room. I guess there were over 16 or so people there at least.
While in the kitchen, his girlfriend messaged the boyfriend in the living room, telling him how she couldn't wait to get him alone later (but in much more raunchy terms).
Well, whatever app he was using just read it out loud, for everyone, including her father, to hear freely.
By the time he got to the phone, the damage was done. She came out of the kitchen, and her dad asked her "Do you need to be going? I hear you just can't wait to get home" with a smirk on his face.
Well, she turned red according to him, and they left shortly after.
Anyone else have something funny happen with their smartphone in the last couple years? Inappropriate ringtones during an interview, texts being read out loud, sending texts to the wrong person, or even someone borrowing your phone and maybe seeing a website you have viewed that you would of rather kept hidden.
I'm all ears. I love hearing other people being embarrassed
Happy Holidays !
i have sent a few naughty texts to the wrong girl before.. and one time a friend saw a few of my dirty pictures from my girlfriend back in the day

sent from my sexy HTC Rezound. Bata bum ba bum, Im loving it.
Well I started using go locker shortly after release which has an option to adjust volume while the phone is locked which I use mainly to save me the hassle of unlocking to turn music up or down while driving or at work. Well currently my ringtone is cigaro by system of a down, edited to start right when the lyrics come in.
If you don't know the song you won't understand why this is so embarrassing, but we happened to be at church and something in my pocket turned the volume up full blast and right in the middle of prayer I get a call and by the time I got my captivate out and ignored the call it was to late. My wife and I left immediately and the jokes have ensued ever since then.
If you just listen to the beginning of the song you'll completely understand why after that I disabled the volume feature and haven't been back at that church since. If you are the kind of person who is easily offended by something I highly recommend not to listen to it.
And yes I know this is in the rezound section but I spotted it in the unread tab on the app and couldn't help but share.

Lol funny stuff. I love me some SOAD, and i'm familiar with the song. And right in the middle of prayer, wow that had to suck.
Thanks for sharing. Gotta find an app that changes your ringtone on Sunday to something by Three Days Grace
Yeah it was pretty horrible timing, everyone quiet except the preacher and then bam, and couldn't of been a worse ringtone to have play in the middle of church.
I actually have a few more embarrassing moments but nothing close to that one. SOAD for the win lol, btw I saw a thing online where they are talking about getting back together and doing a new album since the recent tour went so well.

Swyped from my Rezound 4G
Girlfriend called me and pissed me off(not my current girlfriend), and I ASSUMED she had hung up the phone since that would have disconnected the call on my end too. Nope, so 15 minutes into me talking **** about her and what she had done with my friend I got a text saying we were through. It was actually a blessing(I use that term loosely because I am not religious) in disguise, but now I make sure I always hit the end call button, lol.

Yea, I cant do anything like that. Her dad is all about smartphones the last couple years. He has a droidx and everytime we go up north to see him, he likes to tinker with my phone.
I have to clean up the phone a bit before the trip. I'm sure there are certain things he just couldnt un-see.
Naughty Fast Food
I randomly happened to tell a friend via text about how I was going to McDonalds for the first time in over a year. I decided to prove it to her by taking a photo of something with a logo on it to text to her....I clicked my gallery app shortcut and a really raunchy porno resumed playing fro where I left off the night before.. The volume was maxed out and there was a little old Mexican woman behind me pretending she didn't see anything. Of course this being my new Rezound I panicked and it took me a good 30 seconds to make it stop.. The 720 screen is pretty nice though.
I LOL'D... Anyway, this should be in the offtopic, so everyone can share their embarrassing moments with their androids...

Not me but my daughter... My grand daughter picked up my daughters phone and followed her into the bathroom.... not realizing that a) she was taking pictures or b) they were auto posted to her Facebook page. When she logged into Facebook almost 3 hours later she found them. Luckily, nothing was really exposed but it could have been. Grand Daughter is 2-1/2 but she really likes the phone and has no problem finding wow wow wubbzy or something like that on YouTube.
lol...I really don't understand why anyone would ever autoupload pics to Facebook...maybe 1% off pics I took would ever get posted.

Omg, this haunts me. Careful for browsing history
Hey all,
First post here, but I've been lurking xda for years, just never registered.. Lots of great information here and it's the first place I go if I have questions or need to do some research.
Unfortunately, the reason for my registration is because I fear I may have an issue with my brand new Note.
When I have my headphones plugged in and I press something on the Note I get an annoying crackling noise - kinda like when you've got a head cold or sinus infection and your ears pop. It happens after I don't touch my screen for like 3 seconds, and when I activate something (touch a button, screen, scroll, etc), I'll get the pop.
I'm thinking this isn't normal, but want to verify here before I go back to AT&T.
Thanks!
U are correct, its not.
Just a double check, do u have key tones enabled under settings > sounds?
I also suspect a bad unit however and suggest warrantt
Walked into AT&T and was able to reproduce the sound for the guy there. Definitely not normal, and he concurred that it was indeed extra ordinary and quite annoying.
Unfortunately, they do not have any more white ones in stock.

Now is the time where u call customer service and escalate ur complaint. Calmly but firmly explain your situation.
If your lucky they will not only ship out a new one, buy give u some kind of accojnt credit if u play ur cards right
Samething happens when I use the aux jack in my car but works fine with most headphones. Weird

There's been multiple threads on this already. It has something to do with the sound structure. It also affects the music/ phone and notification sounds too.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I walked to the next nearest AT&T store (City Hall, NYC) and they were able to swap my Note for a new one. The popping sound was still there so I did what any other idiot would do.. I walked across the street and purchased a new set of headphones from J&R.
That didn't fix it either, and the volume control on the new headphones don't control the Note. *sigh* Oh well, at least they sound pretty good.
Anyways, I did some more searching as per dakleenupman's post and it I think I'm experiencing the same things others have in the past. I wonder if it's 'fixable' via a firmware update via Samsung or something.
But for now, if I turn off "Audible Selection", the popping noise disappears. A small sacrifice in the grand scheme of things!
I've noticed that the smart stay feature does not work at all on my phone. I'm talking to the point where it's like the feature is turned off but is actually on. I never see that little eye icon flashing up top and my phone is always locking on me when I'm trying to use it. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix for this or do I need a software update? It's really a shame because this was one of the features I thought wasn't too gimicky and actually useful.
I purchased the phone through AT&T's pre-order online.

Just to be sure, you do have the setting turned on? I haven't used the feature very much myself, I'm on CM10, but on my girlfriends I had to manually go in settings and turn it on for it to work on hers.
Yep, have the featured turned on in the settings.
Yeah, like id_twin posted are you sure it is checked?
For me the feature never worked all that great anyways. I just knew when an eye flashed in my status bar it was time to touch the screen because it would be going to sleep. lol.
Edit: Never mind you already answered while I was typing. You didn't change any other settings that could have conflicted with the smart stay feature perhaps? Not sure there is any just throwing it out there.

Hello good folks, was hopping somebody can help me here.
I have been using htc phones for years, I mean like 10 years almost.
long story short, just got a One max and I'm having an issue with the smilies when receiving text messages. For some reason when the wife sends me smilies in text, they don't show up as the image/smilies, they show up as just text, so that I'm clear, for example if you sent me this smile , it would show up as the text "", is there a setting some where I'm missing?
I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with the htc one, I came from the htc rezound (old as heck) and I have more features on that phone then I do on this one
I thank you all for your time and help.

What phone does she have? I've noticed that sometimes it depends on who is texting. As per the more features on the rezound you are gravely mistaken... Having owned both phones that's like saying dial-up is better than Fios... If the texting issue is that big of a deal probably best to leave android because you can find a more catered experience elsewhere...

she has the samsung note 3.
Of course the one max is newer and it has a newer operating system and etc however some good features are missing.
on rezound I have the home screen in the middle and then 3 other screens on each side I can swipe to, for a total of 7 home screens.
On one max without the feed screen you have a total of 5 screens, home in the middle and 2 on each side.
on rezound I can go around the home screens in a circle, on the one max once you go one way you have to back track to get to the opposite side.
on the rezound I have a "people widget" that shows the person and then right next to it the latest text/mail communications of that person, this was a great widget that allowed me to look at each of my favorites and allow me to see their communication by just a glance, One max does not have that anymore it just has the default people widget that just shows the person, you can't see test or anything right there.
I can go with a few more useful/time saving features that are not there, like the lock screen and its apps for example and there is lots more.
So when I say it was better I mean it in that sense, maybe you can do the things I mentioned and I just can't figure it out but I'm 99% sure you can't.
Yes the One max has some good abilities over the rezound like the size for example, and other things, but some of the things I mentioned make no sense to me why they are gone making One max not as easy to use as rezound when it came to some features.
Ok so you are saying that it depends on what kind of a phone I'm getting text from? I'm not good in that area and like to say it does not matter, but if you know for a fact it does, then I guess it does. Thank you for your response and time.

After re-reading my post I think I came across as arrogant. I apologize for that. With most of what you said is true though most didn't want them but they work for you and that works for you. In this specific case you might be better to go back to the rezound. They eliminated most of those features for a reason to them and I don't think they'd bring them back. Certain roms do include the unlimited scrolling for homescreens though that's about it. I'm not a big eye candy person myself. Considering how modern her phone is that sounds really weird. Do you use normal texts or hangouts? You both want to try hangouts and see if that works for you.

Thanks cstrife999,
we use normal texts and I was able to figure it out.
here is what it was:
on her note 3 she has 2 different sections for smilies, there is the default one we are all used to ( the one under the menu options under "insert smilies"), and then there is another section for smilies that has all the ones we have on the max, this other one you get to by holding the voice key down till you get a menu for 5 objects one being the second set of smilies.
Now the default ones are just the basic ones and only droid smilies, these are the ones that appear as text no matter what, however once we go to the second set of smilies as mentioned above all the smilies showed up on the texts as smilies.
Problems solved.
I like to thank you all for your time/help and responses.:highfive:
