Problem answering incoming calls - AT&T LG Optimus G

I have noticed an issue with incoming calls. If the phone is locked (not password or pattern locked, mind you, just locked via the power button) I cannot answer incoming calls. It will allow me to slide the green phone icon as if I can answer, but then it immediately hands up and alerts me that I have a missed call. The problem does not seem to happen when the phone isn't locked, but how often does the phone ring when you have it out, looking at it?
FWIW, I am running SnowJBv1.1 no other tweaks have been done.
Any ideas?

Also on snowjb 1.1 with no additional tweaks... 8 incoming phone calls over the 3 days I've now been on this ROM, all came in with phone idle/locked, not using any security (pin/pattern/face) and all were answerable just fine...

This may be a crazy idea, but what lock screen effect are you using? I was using dew drop, and I may have isolated the problem to this effect. When I use "none" as the effect, the problem seems better...

well, after a few days of trouble shooting...i have no idea. i cannot answer the phone when an incoming call wakes it up from lock. if i happen to be using it and it is unlocked, then i can asnwer. this is regardless of what type of lockscreen i use. dewdrop, pattern, slide...
i even tried reflashing to see if that might be the culprit. no dice.
anyone see anything like this or have any other ideas?
running snowjb v1.1 with mysteryemotionz v3

Anybody? Lol
I even tried a different Rom, so now I'm thinking its my phone

I am having same problem answering phone. But I'm not a tech wizard, and don't even understand the full conversation thread. But yes, it is hard to answer an icoming call. And other forums seem to have identified same problem.

Can't receive texts but can send them...

I'm running CM9 final and haven't had any issues lately. Today I received texts up to a certain point from some Ppl and some I didn't when they texted me. I can send out but get nothing back. Phone calls work fine and so does my data... Any ideas? Please help!

Well it's a pretty stable build. Which they wouldn't have released if SMS didn't work. Which means its user error. Either it's a setting u changed. , an app u have running, or u didn't full wipe before installing. Best guesses at least. Good luck , happy flashing

I had good luck following this guide for setting up APN on I777 on CM9 , it is for ATT. It is from Infuse forums but it works anways. If it doesn't there is an option to reset to default.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791526
*update* I ended up calling Att and tech support. After some trouble shooting he had me put my Simon into another phone to "wake it up, or un freeze" it then put back in my phone. I then got 18 texts when phone turned on. He said sometimes the Sim card gets confused from switch between towers and locks up. So really was an easy fix. Hope this helps anyone else. Thanks for suggestions!

Hello, im on beans build 10 (it did the same on stock though) but when I press the unlock button there is a short delay until the screen turns on. Its fairly annoying. How can I make it so its instant? Thanks for any help

If it did the same thing with a stock rom, it might be a problem with the phone. I'm using the i605 and I've been on beans build 10 and i have never had a delay problem.
How long is the delay usually?
The delay is almost un noticable. I would guess less than half a second. But there is a slight delay.

It's also well known and been asked a lot. Under display unchecked the auto adjust screen seems to help. Ultimately though it's just how the note 2 is and will (for now) always be there.

Well then even if that's the problem I guess we get to live with it. I know it's been talked about a lot here too. Never heard it was JB.
Oh well I'm far from important enough to need my phone so fast that a half second delay is gonna be a problem.

Thanks for your replies. I am not really annoyed by this. It only seems to do it when the phone has been at idle for a while. Its not something I would knock this phone for. This things a beast so I can live with a tiny delay. Haha. Thanks again and hope that maybe itll get fixed in either official 4.2 or maybe key lime

i got rid of the unlock delay by disabling the lock screen...been using my n2 this way for a month now. no pocket dialing or anything random...actually dont think i could go back to using a lock screen.
afaik it's an exynos issue. you can do a few things to get the most out of it, but the processor will always take a second to pull itself out of deep sleep.

Widgetlocker Delay

Howdy!
I am suddenly experiencing a delay with WidgetLocker. When I hit the power button to wake my phone there is a 1-2 second delay with the clock. It doesn't sound like a lot but it takes a millisecond to check the time. I have never seen this before and its a really jarring experience to read 9:20 and then have it flash to 9:45 right as I click to relocl the screen.
I've done multiple searches and can't find anything other than one post that said this is normal since the phone is waking from "deep sleep" and there will always be a delay. I don't think this is right since I have used WidgeLocker on multiple phones over the last year or so and never noticed this. Its pretty hard to miss.
Any ideas or suggestions? I've tried rebooting, checked for updates, etc.
Thanks.

I would point to this as the problem. Even without widgetlocker this occurs. Not sure what rom you are on, if any, but have you tried the zero wake lag options? It stopped the problem for me.
I am on Beans 9. I recently had to do a restore from nandroid. I wonder if a setting didn't restore fully. I will check it out.
Is there any downside to zero lag options? Just wondering why it wouldn't be default.
Thanks!

Weird vibrate notification

Had any one of you note2 users encountered problems with vibrate?
The vibrate works fine for phone calls with or without sound but once I get notifications with or without sound half of them randomly will be normal vibrations while the rest will vibrate as if the phone isn't getting enough power. It's not a constant vibrate.
It's very annoying. Has anyone one of you experienced this before? Do you think I should unroot and lock it and send to VZW?

The note II is equipped with custom vibrations. Go to system settings>sounds>device vibration and change it from there.

Mine does there beyond rarely on jellybeans. I chalked it up to a bug as it doesn't happen often and never happened on my phone before.

No that's only for the ringtone. My notifications sound like the phone is dying and can't vibrate.
I think I might have to consider contacting VZW.

Oh gotcha. on that problem, it might be hardware. Have you dropped your phone. May have unseated the vibration device. lil half disk that spins. Not sure where it's found under the casing. Haven't taken a Note II apart yet. Maybe when I kill this one to get the Note III i'll pull it apart.

I have the same problem, on full stock I dont remember this being an issue but I didn't stay on stock for longer than 6 hours.
Mine doesn't necessarily sound like its dying as much as the vibration is either extremely weak or extremely strong. It varies from app to app; for instance my keyboard is in between, my email app (Aquamail) barely has any vibration after being set to vibrate and ring when receiving a message, and the eBay app has an extremely strong vibration that's easily stronger than any of the other apps vibrations. Even stock SMS and phone apps vibrations arent as strong as the eBay app.
I've begun to wonder if it has something to do with the rom instead of the phone, like I said earlier I didnt notice this until I flashed Cleanrom ACE.

Many notifications have different vibrate values - if that makes sense.
For example, I can tell when I'm at work and get a notification what it is based on the vibrate. I know when I have a snapchat waiting
I like it and consider it a feature.

See I knew they had different values but the values for the same app are constantly changing for me no matter what I set it to in the apps that allow custom vibrations. The only one that seems to be consistent is the call vibration but I don't get enough calls to be able to know for sure.

You guys know that you can change the vibration intensity for different things, right? It's under sound settings.

Yes, the thing is it either doesn't work or the vibration strength isn't consistent. It is all over the board with the same notification. I can get 3 texts in a row and each vibration will be completely different.

[Q] SOLVED Switching between calls ?

I feel kind of stupid but I used to have a swap button and now I seem to only have a record button and can't switch when I take a second call. Am I missing something, this seems to be the case in the regular dialer and in rocketdial

I'm going to help get this back to the top cause I have the same problem. Not sure when the swap button went away but I'm sure it was there at one point. I can not find anywhere in the settings that would change this. Only things I have done is root via chain fire method, install twrp, flashed freeza's crt animation mod for the native wifi tether and his beastmode kernel. Have you done any of this? I would love my swap button back but instead I have to hang up with both callers then call back whoever it is I want to continue talking to and it is really getting irritating. Anyone have any ideas or the same issue?
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
Thank you. I don't feel so alone and dumb now. I rooted using the other knox safe method dela root and odined the same file in that post although my baseband and software say mi3 and the build says mi5. With calls that is the exact problem I have. I can now record a conversation when its on speaker phone but dont need that. Only other thing I downloaded was rocketdial for a while I thought that was it but uninstalled and have the same problem

I am finding it hard to believe out of 200 views we are the only ones with this problem. I let my phone update to mj4 before I rooted it. Have you installed the crt animations or a new kernel? We seem so far apart in what we have done to be able to make sense of this.

Hope the bump helps. I don't have the issue you described, but I am with Sprint on MJ4 - what root did you use?
Dela vega. Lets try this does everyone else have a swap button in the top left position or does it say record. Or do you have a record button that switches to swap when you answer a second call
And nothimg else installed for me

Its hard to tell because I reset with De la vegas again. But the first thing noticed n Wanum was the record button checked and unchecked it calls work fine now.
Finally got to mess with the phone and wanam was definition the culprit. I can now swap between calls again. The issue I still have and not sure what happens on the stock rom, when I want to hang up with one person I tap end them it doesn't switch me back to the person on hold. Instead it acts as if someone is calling me and then have to answer the phone where that person had been on hold the whole time. Hope this makes sense.

Did you just disable the module this is frustrating I never noticed until today when I tried switching back to the first call I had on hold
It's under the phone tab. Uncheck add record button or something like that. Should work. I have since installed a rom so not 100%. Let me know if it doesn't work and I will reinstall it to see if I can find it.
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
I wish we could have both. I want call recording but also want swap. I use swap so little however that I live without it.
what I want is behind the scenes fully transparent over any connection bluetooth or speaker call recording in the background fully automatic.
I had this on my Touch Pro 2 (windows mobile) and its one feature I really really miss. it just "always" worked.
