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.
Hi,
Is there a way to know that the person I am calling is on call waiting?
I didn't notice any different sound or notification on screen when i'm calling someone who's already having a conversation. I'd be interested in a solution for that too, maybe i'm missing something
Guys,
no one has a workaround for this. old phones always had this feature, how come smartphones dont?
Don't you hear a short beep every ?? seconds? I thought that's how it worked. I have never tried it on my SGS2.
No beep, just the default ringtone pattern as if calling someone who's not speaking at the phone in that moment.

yeah that is it, works fine for me, yesterday i was on a call and had another call coming through it made some beeping noises so i hung up and took the call.
Remember you have to actually activate the call waiting with your network in order for it to work but it works 100% with the GS2 ive used it many times.
Thanks for confirming that. I was sure this is how it works.

Sorry, but i was talking about the warning when i call someone who's already in a conversation, not about my call waiting and that's what the OP asked as well
Hi all,
I've owned the note since day 1. I've had it replaced because of a charger issue and horrible battery. This new one is a keeper.
However, I just noticed this issue which I don't know if it is normal or what.
When you plug an earphone/headphones to the note, not all sounds are routed to the earphones/headset.
A few examples are, when I'm plugged in then somebody text, call, lock/unlock screen, etc it will sound off both the speaker of the note and the earphones.
It will only exclusively play sound to the earphones when watching videos like in MX player, Doubletwist, watching flash videos in the browser, etc. If it is notifications, it plays on both.
Of course when your on silent mode, you won't hear ringing from the earphones (just beeps).
I actually rooted it (mashi method only using system level root) and I used Titanium backup to freeze some pre-installed apps. Could that be it?
Is this normal behavior?
Thanks
Sorry for the early bump but is anyone having this issue?
This is my 14th day and according to Best Buy I only have 14-days to return it or exchange it. Even though they recently change it to 30 days .. for some reason I'm not covered with the 30 days return policy. I only have 1 1/2 hours before Best Buy closes tonight.
Thanks.
EDIT: I've used iPhone earphones (with mic), Sony Headphones, I've used 3 other earphones .. they all display the same image.
Just try this to be easier. Plug an earphone to your Note .. then call it. If it rings from the speakers while the earphones are connected, that's what I'm talking about. Could anyone please try this .. please.
Just tried your test. Mine does the same thing. Rings both the earphones and external speaker.
I also have the same issue you noted where I get notification sounds on the external speaker. This happens, for example, when playing music. It's even more annoying because it doesn't play it through both, it ONLY plays the notification sound through the external, so if you're listening to earbuds with noise cancelling, you don't even hear it, you just hear a break in the sound.
For better or worse, I believe this is normal operation for these phones with this revision of software. I'm not sure if samsung and/or AT&T do incremental updates to fix little bugs like this? I'm new to android, so I don't know for sure, but I believe that we are pretty much on our own for having this sort of thing fixed. An update *might* eventually fix it (ie the infamous ICS update that we don't know when AT&T will actually get out to us), but until then, my understanding is that we just have to hope that a dev will try to address it. This is versus apple, where updates come out pretty frequently, and a bug this major would certainly be addressed very quickly.
That is just sad. Now I have to put it in silent mode even when earphones are plugged in
I hope Samsung fixes this.
That's stupid. I haven't seen any other reports of this. You have stock ATT ROM, right? Did you call ATT to ask them about it? Could be a "feature" of the Note.
Sad but true. Mine does the same thing. Hadn't noticed it because I haven't used headphones with it yet.
I wonder if this is the reason they didn't put a pair of earbuds in the box like they do with most of their other phones.
just an update. I went to best buy just now and they have 4 samples on the floor. I tried it it on all phones and it works fine. Mine was the only phone having this issue. so I called a rep and showed it to him and he said to bring the receipt tomorrow for replacement. wow this will be my 3rd phone replacement (1St one was a charger issue). and yes i have used stock. I used it on rooted,even saurom. all displays the issue.

I'm having the same problem. I am completely stock never rooted, overclocked or removed/froze any apps.. Funny thing I'm also on my second Note already first one because my keyboard wasn't working.. Anyone else having this issue with headphones?
If you do get a new replacement, please post back here once you've set it up and let us know if it does or does not still have this issue. I find it kind of hard to believe that this type of issue would be one that varies from phone to phone. Seems like a hardware or software bug that should be consistent from phone to phone. If it is different, it seems far more likely that there is some setting or application that some of us have changed (or not changed) that is causing the difference.
I thought I had a "good one" so far, and to be honest, reading about a lot of the other problems that people have (that I don't), I'm kind of scared to go get a new one, as I feel as though I might be trading this issue for a different one (or spending a lot of time trading phones in and out).
Update
So I just got off the phone with AT&T and they ran me through the whole factory reset bs and of course that didn't fix the problem.. But the strange thing is that the guy I spoke to said that my phone needed a software update and that I would get it in the next 24 to 48hrs. I'm attaching a screen shot of my about phone because I didn't know that this phone had a software update available. I took this screen shot soon as I hung up the phone with AT&T. I will report back on Wednesday when they said they would call me back to see if the phone is working correctly.. Let me know if you're running different software than me?? (if you don't mind)
ill post an update tomorrow. I wont leave until I got a good one.
again for those who are curious and check if it happens to your phone.
1) make sure it is not on silent mode
2) connect an earphone/headphone to the note
3) call the phone
if it rings out loud. welcome to the club

Just did a test with our skyrocket and note, using the stock samsung headphones that came with the skyrocket
both exhibit the same behaviors
when receiving a call..the ringtone is played only over the headphones
(we both use video caller id so not sure if that matters)
when receiving a txt message the notification is played on the external speaker

Wait, so you said 2 posts earlier that "pretty sure this is normal", then said just now that yours does not work like ours? Which is normal?
From what I uderstand you guys are explaining mine does the exact same thing..and "I am pretty sure this is normal"
I included exactly how mine behaves for reference....so is that the same or different than what yours does?
I am also using an app for video ringer so I will test stock ringers tonight

Ok I talked to the tech at AT&T he was no help at all.. Only thing he told me was that the phone should display a headset icon of some sort.. (I told him mine doesn't) does anyone's?? In the end he told me to it the Device store here in Tampa and if they can't figure it out they would just give me what will be my 3rd Note.. BTW didn't mention anything about a software update this time and yes I asked..
Its an app
I will pass the logs along to someone who might be able to fix it

Does anyone have problems with the phone "dialing" while your in a call. I don't mean like really dialing. I can be talking and the phone laying somewhere and then it sounds like someone is touching a number key. This phone started doing it since the upgrade and then my Droid 3 I had before was doing it to. And the other party can even have their phone just lying on a table as well.
