Can any rom swap callers properly? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

To test this, call one person.
Click add call
Dial a different number
Do NOT merge the calls.
Try to talk to the first person you called without hanging up on the second.
Followup
Go ahead and merge the calls.
Have one person hang up.
Call that person back, and add then back into the conference.
In the stock rom, for me, neither of these things can be done! Can any rom do this??

This is a CDMA(Verizon) problem I believe. I noticed this when I switched to vzw from ATT about 3 years ago and have noticed it on every phone(even the ones made of fruit) since. Didnt have this problem on Tmobile(or whatever it was called back then) 10 years ago either.

So here is the interesting thing about that. There is another test case. Call a number, have somebody call you. Answer that call. The is now a swap button! You can swap at will, if you get a call while you are on a call! Odd, no?
And you caught me, this is day 2 on Verizon from AT&T for me.

KOOL! Im running a custom ROM so Im not seeing this option and Im on an older firmware. SInce you just got your phone, Im assuming that you are running the latest OTA for the S4???

Maybe that's something that slipped in the OTA thats not being mentioned or may not even be known about
Good catch either way! Im hoping that when VZW switches to VoLTE(and phones that support it), we will regain this feature.

Late sms, voicemails, and no missed call notifications

i dont know if this has been addressed, but my search did not reveal this exact problem...
when im not on my phone, and i have full bars, i do not get my calls or sms, it just stays the way it is, i have to click on messages in order to "re-activate" it then i get my sms VERY late, and voicemails late. i checked this out a little more by calling my phone time to time, and i get 2 rings, then goes straight to voicemail, and my phone never got the call, and the voicemail comes through my phone about 30 min late...same thing with sms, i message my phone time to time, and i dont get the sms till late. is this a radio issue? my device info is on my sig...
i had this same problem when i was running the 1.40 radio with black 4 shadow...i switched roms and all is well now.

Yup, similarly, but just in reverse. My 8525 [HERM100] from Cingular/TheNewAT&T was running BlackMajic [Hot! BadA$$ Rom] and it worked fantastically with regards to reception and updates from the network... but I dropped my handset and the damn external speaker wouldn't work suddenly. So no ringing and no speakerphone whatsoever... obviously this wasn't going to fly with me... so, i went to the cingular store, spoke to them in a language they understood [telephonics/telephonease, lol] and they handed over a new handset (honestly I haven't the faintest idea how I managed it... it was amazing though... )
ANYWAYS!!!!'
so i haven't had a the chance till now to get their default latest rom outta there and get majik back on, but I'm telling you what. For it being their latest release for the rom... this piece of **** doesn't work for ****! half my calls aren't dropped, their just non existant all together, same with voice or text notifications... it's the radio ROM, I'm sure of it.
bump!!!!!!!!

I can hear caller before answering???

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.

people saying i sound muffled

had a few people asking me to repeat myself when talking on the phone, also saying i sound muffled over the last few weeks? anyone had this?

just grabbed my next door neighbour and did 2 way test, i walked around the block on his 7 year phone and he sounded muffled on mine - went back to my phone and he was having trouble making me out but sound clear to me - bollocks!
guess i better flash stock back again.

This is exactly what happens to me!!!
I suddenly start sounding muffled...
when my wife goes out of town...
and I go on a drinking rampage.
But then she comes back, and everything is back to normal.
Sorry OP, for makign a joke here. Yeah like others said, try factory reset and then restore factory firmware.
Some ppl claim that this happens when u r using a case cover blocking the mic for noise reduction. Try using it without and see if this solves the problem!!
Hope this helps!!
bobbysixkiller said:

With the phone itself. It seems to be a certain location your mouth is to the mic just causes muffled sound. And the noise cancellation seems to be part of the issue, doesn't work correctly. So turning it off sometimes helps.
well i called O2, and they are swapping me a brand new one tomorrow, as i have had one month!, ordered on 25th May and called yesterday being 25th June.
they are bring me one to my house - that is service!
i did try flashing stock rom, but no difference, tested my mates and his sounds fine, pretty sure there is an issue. oh well a new one will do!

[Q] How can I be able to call my wife again?

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?

Wifi calling, voice get delayed the longer the conversation.

This is unbelievable to me. I finally update to ICS and now everytime I use wifi calling for more then 15 mins, the voice gets delayed. The person I talk to on the other end hears what I say 3 to 5 seconds after I say it into the phone. This has been going on for days now and also happens with a friends Amaze at his own place.
What in the world am I suppossed to do now , since its impossible to have a normal conversation with people.
Anyone else have this issue? I am about this sell this phone now. I am not rooted and stock so I cant revert back to GB

I read that app only works for when you pick up the phone and there is a delay. Ill give it a try though. It gets extremely annoying talking to someone and then they start talking thinking I am not talking and my 5 second delay cuts them off.

Yep, an issue since the first ics leak and I have no clue how to fix it. Me and GG have been complaining about this for awhile
Yup... Known issue since the first leak... It gets worse as conversation goes on. I just said **** it and installed quick-sense and selected to remove WiFi calling. I can't believe tmo put the option in a device on gb, it didn't work, so they update to ics, and don't fix it? Smh fail

Word.
Anyways, I talked to the tech department about it and the girl knew everything about it.
She set me up with a service ticket and they would check things out, but we both dont think much of it.
Shes going to call me back in 3 days. She said that its not a device issue, that its an OS issue, which I already knew.
She said after the 3 days we will probably do the warranty exchange. She doesnt know if the replacement phones will have will ICS or GB though but if its GB, dont update to ICS because its a known wifi calling bug. That is if they even have the amaze to replace with. I dont mind waiting because I am curious what there going to say.
So you're going to exchange your phone because wifi calling doesn't work properly? A little extreme, no?

I dont get service in my apartment. I rely on it to make all my phone calls when I am home. Without it, its almost useless. Having a conversation where the person on the other end doesnt answer you for a few seconds cuz its delayed is pretty annoying. Not to mention when they start talking again because they think I havent answered, and then it cuts them off, and there is a WTF moment lol
Yeah this is annoying I've had people click on me because they think I'm playing with them or calling to mess with them.. Hopefully tmo fixes the issue soon

Anyone ever factory reset the phone and see if the issue gets fixed at all?
Of course I told them I did it to avoid that nonsense, but now I am considering it. Just dont wanna lose all the work I put into with using facebook pictures for peoples faces when they call. Apps I can always re download
Whats even more annoying is I had the phone for 1 month and havent even begun to pay me 20 dollar a month for 20 months payments! So in the end if they send me another, Im paying for a refurb phone lol. Honestly thinking about when the GS3 comes out, selling my amaze, paying off what I owe with the money I get for it, then restarting a payment plan all over for the GS3. Yeah thats overthinking right there.

its an ics bug. you could have the best router in the world and it will still lag
Yeah heres my own personal fix. Hang up the phone and call back every ten minutes
So in reality, rooting a phone only affects the manufacturer warranty? Something I will never and have never needed to use.
I have premium handset protection with T-Mobile. If I need to exchange through t-mobile or asurion, all I need to do is unroot it right?
Hmm Now I need to go learn how to do all this to get back to GB.
