Hi, for past few months I'm having issues with Hangouts app, as sometimes, messages (not SMS) are sent/received with very big delay (around 30 min or even more). And this applies both to WiFi/3G connection. Also, all other phones/tablets I have are not suffering from this at all, so, I think it's unlikely that this is internet connection issue. I've already tried reboots, clearing cache, and so on, but nothing seems to make any difference.
The second issue I'm having with this phone is, that sometimes when I call somebody, phone puts that call on speaker for itself.
Or is there some kind of preset for specific contact to automatically put that call on speaker? Because, I'm having this issue usually with only one person.
I thought about restoring to factory defaults, but first I wanted to ask if somebody has the same issue and possibly solution. Or maybe even flashing custom ROM, all I want is to get this finally working.
Thanks in advice

Hi everyone! I've read these forums for a long time but haven't posted much before. It was doing my research here that led me to buying my Prophet. It couldn't have been a better decision, so thank you! I owe you guys one.
So... I thought it might be helpful to list the issues people have been having with their WM6 builds so far, since right now the problems seem to be spread through other threads. I flashed the PDAViet 4.0.0.0.3 two days ago, and although it runs pretty well, I've run into a couple of problems that other people have seen too:
1. Wifi works only sometimes. I'm really not sure what causes it, but it will always work properly again after a soft reset. It doesn't seem to matter how long my Prophet is turned on - I soft reset last night, put my phone down, and tried the wifi again this morning, and it worked fine. I'm guessing that it might be some other program or system process that's interfering with the wifi/wlan.
2. MMS/SMS. Since I don't use MMS, I can't speak for myself, but I've read other people are having trouble getting their MMS to work properly. I've also read that a small minority of people are having trouble with their SMS. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
3. Missed calls. People have posted that their phones sometimes just won't ring, and they get missed calls. Some say that this can be fixed by downgrading to the 2.19 radio ROM. Has anyone tried this, and did it work?
4. Bluetooth. I haven't had any bluetooth problems, and the bluetooth keyboard I installed works great. However, I've read that other people have been having some problems. Anyone care to comment?
5. Battery troubles. People have said different things about whether or not their WM6 ROMs use more power than WM5; I'm not sure that it actually makes much of a difference. One thing I did notice, though: my Prophet will charge fine when attached to my PC's USB port, but not when plugged into the wall! The yellow light comes on, and it looks like it's charging, but the battery continues to drain. This is easily one of the weirdest problems I've had.
If you have other problems/errors using any WM6 ROM (not just PDAViet), please add on to the list! Say what the problem is and what ROM you're using. Also, if anyone knows fixes for any of the problems, add them here too!
TrueNeytral 1.4 MS BT.
Very few issues. No problems with Missed calls, MMS, BT or battery (10% per day with 2 calls each day). Wifi varies a bit - but no real problem.
Once I mistakenly pressed the flight-mode icon, then turned the phone back on - I didn't recieve SMS for two days, until I re-booted. Strange...
7. Sporadically missing email, wifi and bluetooth settings after soft-reset, even if we turn off the phone everytime a change is made.
Occasional missed calls; seems like they just go right to voice mail sometimes.
Battery life fair with Radio 1.40; it may be a little better with 1.38, hard to tell; definitely better life by turning off 3G
Some minor incompatibilities with BatteryPack Pro, mostly visual things, nothing functional so far
In Windows Live, when checking email if I close an email message Windows Live closes and sends me back to the Today Screen; if I 'reply' to an email, then 'cancel message', it will send me back to the email list, not close the program and return me to the Today page. This bug disappeared for a while and the email functioned properly until I flashed a new radio ROM(1.40), then bug returned

Yeah, me too. I didn't see it happen with my email, and I don't use the bluetooth too much, but it seems like the settings for my home router would mysteriously disappear whenever I soft reset, and I'd have to put in my password again.

I have the same problem. What I've seen: I only loose mails, internet settings, Windows Live Messenger settings, if I use soft reset harware button. Try to use an software program that allow you to soft reset device like XCPUScalar which put in system tray an icon for that function.
If you find something else to remedy that problem please anounce me

Don't forget the password issue.
An important feature for business users - I guess.
Hi, for years now (and on many different phones and Android OS versions), I've run into a reoccurring issue in the Gmail app: now and again, a batch of messages I've told the app to send will get stuck in the Outbox as "Sending" and won't ever send, even after I've rebooted the phone, cleared the cache, insured the phone is online, etc... This only seems to happen when there's some sort of an internet connection issue, but I haven't been able to figure out if it's associated with one particular thing: airplane mode, being out of connection range, having auto-sync or background data turned off, etc... Does anyone know what triggers this behavior? If it was caused by being in one particular state, I'd just avoid sending email while in that state.
Thanks, Alan
Ugh!!!! Was hoping the 4.2 update might have fixed this, but no luck. Has Google even acknowledged this issue yet? It's MADDENING!
Sometimes there would be no dial tone when calling. I can receive calls but can't make them. When text messaging, I would not be able to send them but able to receive them. Also I would receive copies of the text every hour or so. Clearing the cache partition would cure the problem for a little while but would come back
Bumping
I'm having the multiple text issue too, but was also having that on 4.4 which is why I updated at all. But my issues are overheating (even if it's been doing simple stuff like texting,) apps (most regularly used) are slow to respond with the longest wait being almost a minute or apps (once the mobile itself) freezing when I try to change between them from the recently used one, and while more of a personal issue, I prefer a darker theme for apps and many with 4.4 naturally were, but with 5.1.1, they aren't.
I'm at a point where I'm just going to root the damn thing until I can upgrade the mobile because suddenly I cannot use my mobile like I used to and I cannot stand it.
Hello!
For more than three years, WhatsApp has been periodically freezing and smartphone also.
It always happens the same, but the regularity is different: for any incoming message in WhatsApp, everything hangs. To fix this issue I always do the same thing switch off/on the screen or pull down the notification bar, then everything starts working again after this.
This issue appears on samsung phones only, I guess (for the third in a row), and I tried to do a lot of things during this time nothing helped.
Do you have any idea why this is happening, and how to fix it?
Thanks

Nobody knows??
Make sure that your WhatsApp is always up-to-date version.
My Pixel 6 is on the May release. This un-mute behavior has happened off and on for the last few monthly releases. I do not know when it began.
While on a phone call -- muted -- using (different) bluetooth earbuds, I will occasionally get a stern reminder from someone on a conference call that I 'need to go on mute'. Thankfully, it only seems to happen when I'm in the kitchen pouring a drink.
I am unsure as to when the variables are when it occurs:
- on wi-fi calling vs network,
- using bluetooth vs speaker,
- screen on vs off (whether manually or via timeout)
I try to watch it carefully but have never caught it changing. It seems to more likely happen when the screen has gone dark.
I cannot find any other reports of this. I need help to figure it out...
No ideas? How can I report this to google? (I -did- do the help thing from the pixel -- also no response). TIA!
Never got any response to how to debug this. Seems related to having done a mass re-install after upgrade of some old, questionable apps. By nuking the apps and reinstalling one-by-one, I'm back to no issues with mute.
