I've been using DCD's 2.3.2 Rom and Radio 3.27.00 for sometime now with much success. The past few days I've noticed a strange bug/feature. On occasion, I can actually hear the caller on the other line (talking, breathing, etc.) before I actually answer. I've tested this several times with other people and it seems to happen randomly, and usually when the call originates from a land line. Anyone know what is up with that? I actually find it interesting, you can hear what people are talking about before you answer. Kind of scarey as well

Was having the same issue. As you stated, it only happened with calls originating from landlines. Pretty cool though, I tested it and I had my friend say something to me and then when I picked up i repeated it. It was awesome lol. Doesnt happen anymore though.

Can they hear you, too? If so, this is security issue. A person can call you and overhear some of your conversation if the call catches you unprepared.

I was worried about that too, but it appears all the caller hears is ringing until I pick up, else the call goes to voicemail as usual.

That is correct. Only one way. The other person just hears rings but if they are having a convo with someone in the background while the phone is ringing, you can hear it till you pick up, if you dont pick up they are sent to voicemail and you can no longer hear them.
I posted the same issue a few days back, it's very annoying but now i've gotten used to it and I wait until I hear static and then start talking, otherwise, there was about a 5 second delay from when I pressed answer to when I could actually talk.
I experienced this a long time ago. I think that might have been before I saw the dcd light and I was using 2.17, so this problem may go back a while. That is a very interesting insight that it is only when a land line is calling. I did not realize that. I only happened a few times, ans now I know why. Who calls from land lines anymore?

Same is happening to me i am about to take my phone in for a replacement.
Oh and I get this with any phone who calls me land or cell. I even re locked and flashed back to 2.16 sprint stock. i still get the problem. I'll let you know what sprint tells me.
I wonder if it will still happen with the lattest ROM..
Boy, this Mogul really is a peice of crap isnt it? So much for being the flagship model.
Not only when called from a landline phone.
This is NOT only when a landline is calling, matter of fact, it happens when it's either a landline OR a cellphone, about a 6-second delay every time.
I have been having this issue with the newest DCD Rom. I can hear the person through the speaker phone while the phone is ringing. Doesn't happen every time and they were calling from a cell phone.
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.
Hello, fellow GS2 users! I am in need of help. Unfortunatly, I am unable to call my wife's number anymore (which is a real shame). I am on Cognition 1.30, so I figured I'd restore to the previous cognition where things were fully functioning (1.20). Same thing. I'm not talking about the call going straight to voicemail, as it would do if the recieving end were turned off. When I make an attempt, I hear about a milisecond of the *call in progress* tone, but it then instantly disconnects. I can call other people just fine. It says 'call forwarding activated' or whatever, but it's always said that. Any tips / suggestions? Thanks!
Work out how you did it and post the info, you could make a fortune with this
I would pay

Maybe someone doesn't want to take your calls?..
I had same thing in that when I called my friend it would ring for a split second then cut off, he changed his rom and I was able to call no probs..so maybe it isn't your end that's the problem?!..
Did your wife activate call-forwarding on her phone ? Maybe she redirected all incoming calls to a non-existent number ?
Her phone is kinda wonky... its an x10. I need to put a new ROM on it.
It does sound like the problem is at her end. Check to see if she's accidentally black-listed you, or "accidentally" black-listed you

Try whistling. They are supposed to get you a sammich when that happens.
But yeah, on a serious note;
Try seeing if she's accidentally blacklisted you. And try seeing if the problem exists ONLY between your phones;
(Try calling another number from YOUR phone, try getting another number to call HER, try calling YOUR number from HER phone, and all other permutations and combinations until you get to know where the problem lies)
Thank you all. This thread has been awesome.
try checking if u had install any call blocker or droidwall that can blacklisted some numbers/id
if not do lemme know how you manage to do that so i can have good excuse not to call my wifey when i'm out with friends cycling !
I flashed a new ROM on her phone, which ended up fixing the issue, but a few days later, the same thing started happening.
Can you check whether your number is in her rejected number list?
I'd suggest checking if she blacklisted you.
Seriously, 39482049348 replies with the same suggestion and people are still replying saying the same . Including me, yay!
How does one go about checking that?
Hi all.
First off a great site here. I am new to android (well not strictly true I did have the Desire when it very first came out and I hated it sold it after a week) Any way I am now converted to Android from Iphone. So I am a complete and utter noob
I have got the the S2 and what a phone, never miss a phone call or antenna problems on this puppy.
So my problem is when I get a text msg it only reads out the number of the person and does not read the actual txt. When I get phone calls it tells me who is ringing. This is a problem for me as I want this for when I am driving. Please help.
I have not rooted my phone yet as I said I am a complete noob. Does not look as easy as jailbreak.
Thank you very much. Look forward to your response and no doubt I'll get told off for reposting but I have looked now for 3 days
This phone can do this? I would like to know how to set this up.. I would love for the phone to tell me who is calling...please tell me how to do this...I am new to the Droid as well...came from BB...

Double press/tap HOME key to bring ON Voice Talk.
Turn ON Driving Mode.
Hit the MENU button --> Settings -->Scroll down --> Voice Talk Settings --> "TICK" Show body of message.
I suppose that should solve your problem
(It sometimes takes a while to read out the message depending on your connection..so plz be a lil patient Cheers)
Not really the same thing. There should be a way in android to have it announce who is calling or just texted you without leaving in driving mode constantly. Symbian used to have this,but I don't believe Android does.

I just use Tasker for this, though some would balk at spending on an app worth 5 dollars for a phone worth a hundred times that =)
I just got my razr and new to Motorola. Ive had android phones for years but they have always been Samsung. I get a blown speaker like sound sometimes when talking on the phone. It can normally be heard when you first dial a number and the phone rings the first time and sometimes on the second ring but normally is gone and rings normal afterwards. Is this actually normal? Is there anything i can do about it? Its quite annoying. IDK if it matters but im in a 4g Verizon network and never had this issue on any other phone ive had.
