Incoming call hijacks my phone! - LG V30 Questions & Answers
I have an issue and I'm not sure if it's with LG or Android. I'm on stock ROM, stock dialer, Nova Launcher, rooted and BL unlocked. I have Magisk Manager, but no Xposed installed. Whenever I get an incoming call, the entire screen is taken over by the notification. I can't pull down from the top, go home, go back etc. All I can do is deal with the call. If I'm using the device, it's a major pain when a SPAM call comes in and I can't do anything about it. In Settings > Network > Call > More > Alert "Show voice calls while in an app" is set to Pop-up, but it's not doing that. It's full screen and intrusive. Strangely the option for "Floating Bar' is greyed out.
I also noticed that there was no vibration when the call came in, despite setting it to do that. Does anyone have an answer??

For me on that firmware, when a call comes in I hit the volume down button and it silences it. I can then reject it completely or do other things while it goes to voicemail.

I can't do anything other than Answer, Reject With Message, or Reject. Though I am able to silence with the volume key, I can't press home or swipe on from any edge. It's baffling.
Weird though, I just tried again and for some reason it's back to normal. I also have Mr Number installed to counteract SPAM calls which also popped up. All I did was reject the call the first time and it was back to normal. Fixed?
Nope, there's something borked here, it did it again. I can't control my phone when receiving an incoming call apparently!

Have you tried disabling Magisk Modules one by one and checking if this resolves the issue?
You said Floating Bar was greyed out. Did you debloat any apps? Maybe something you removed is causing issues?

I only had YouTube Vanced and Volume Steps Plus installed. I disabled them and rebooted but the problem persisted. Interestingly, The screen takeover is only when the screen is off. If it's sitting on my desk and I receive a call, I only have those 3 options. Maybe because it was screen off locked? If I'm using the phone unlocked and a call comes in, then it works normally.

Yeah sounds really confusing. Are you using Volume Steps Plus from Magisk or Xposed? I tried the Magisk one before but it doesn't work and the Xposed one seems to be years outdated so I figured a freshly updated one on Magisk would be the only one worth trying.

I don't have Xposed installed, and I don't think either Magisk module work honestly
I wanted to revive this thread as it's truly annoying still. If the phone is off and I receive a call, I must deal with the call and can't use the phone at all. Not sure if the launcher (Nova) is having a play in this, but would reflashing 20g possibly do something?
It's probably like you said, because the phone is locked.
You can't press the home button when you're on the lockscreen.

Everybody else seems to be able to do it. Additionally, it won't unlock when the call is incoming, I'm forced to deal with the call and can't use other apps.
Can you describe in more detail?
When you're in a call and you would like to check the schedule, for example.
Take your phone off your ears, does the screen turn on?
How about using an earphone? Speakerphone?

My experience is detailed in the first post. This happens when I'm not using the phone and a call is incoming, so no headset or phone held to my ear.

[Q] *228 with TeamHackSung ICS 6.5?
I put the TeamHackSung ICS 6.5 rom on my Fascinate, and have found that if I dial *228, once the call connects I'm left without a dial pad...and thus can't access the activation process. Anyone else notice this, or is it just me?
tap the home key, phone icon, return to call in progress, then the dial pad icon. its a known glitch on ics roms.
Didn't work. After pressing home and then the phone icon, I tried both "Return to call in progress" and "Use touch tone keypad", but both just returned me to the call without a dial pad nor button to bring it up.
actually dont hit return to call in progress, just select use touchtone keypad...you might have to do it twice.
droidstyle said: actually dont hit return to call in progress, just select use touchtone keypad...you might have to do it twice. Click to expand... Click to collapse No, still not getting it. After hitting home and then the phone button, my screen shows three choices: Use touch tone keypad, Return to call in progress, and Add call. The first two just return me to the keypad-less call in progress. "Add call" does in fact give me a keypad, but the tones it generates are not heard by the call in progress. I tried hitting "1" and then the call button from this point, but it just went back to my home screen. I then had to hit the phone button, either of the first two options to get back to the activation call, and then the "Back" button to hang up. If I don't hang up in time, my phone gets completely deactivated...no phone or 3G capability, meaning that I can't even dial #228, never mind pressing "1" after dialing it, but fortunately rebooting the phone restored the activation.
I've never been able to use *228 on any MTD rom. It does all the same stuff you mentioned. So long as your connection is working, I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah but Option 2 from *228 is a good thing. You have two options, but I'm only going to bring up one since it's the easiest. *22890 ---> This will program/activate your phone. *22891 ---> This will update your roaming capabilities. No need to hit other buttons after dialing. Let it finish, and reboot your phone.
Excellent!

You can always do *228,,,,,2 The commas are pauses. The screen will say that the updated roaming was not successful, but the message says it is. You can also replace the 2 with a 1 to do activation (however it's not needed if you have data as others have suggested).

[Q] SGP321 (LTE) Incoming GSM calls...
Hi All From what I understand, the Xperia Tablet Z 4G isn't meant to be able to make and/or receive GSM calls. I came from a Samsung P6800 that was able to make and receive GSM calls so I have a SIM that is attached to a voice and data plan. I'm now using that same SIM in the XZT. Earlier this afternoon, I turned on my tablet and saw what looked like a missed call screen that flashed by and disappeared. There was no notification of a missed call. I remember the screen had light colours - like light green and blue and yellow (if my memory serves me right). Tonight I actually received a GSM call. I didnt get to answer it in time (well, let's say that when I got to the tablet, I stood there looking at it and wondering what was going on and the call stopped!).The screen that came up is what I described above. It had an icon of a phone with a circle around it in the middle of the screen. I'm guessing that to answer the call, I would've had to have put my finger on the icon and drag it out to a side. I tried calling my tablet again with my normal phone to replicate it and maybe try get a screenshot, but I can't seem to get through on the number. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there software on the phone that can make and receive phone calls? Edit: I should add that I'm on 4.2.2... and Build number is 10.3.1.A.0.244.
I had hoped I could use it as a huge phone, but nope. I was told the hardware wasn't there. But if you truly have had an incoming call, then there might be hope. Right now I'm using Skype and the tablet redirect calls to my Skype-number.
There is.. I use viber a lot and everytime i recieve a call there is a phone with a circle and a wave on it and i just drag the phone to the right to answer it. Sent from my SGP311 using xda app-developers app

Click to collapse Yeh, I thought that it could be Skype or Viber or one of them chat apps, but I wasn't signed into any of those at the time. I'd only had the tab for a couple of days and was still in the process of installing apps. It hasn't happened since then.. but i'll keep a lookout for it and see if it happens again.
How about Google Voice? If you have it set up on your account you might be getting a call to that number. Try calling it. bobbified said: Yeh, I thought that it could be Skype or Viber or one of them chat apps, but I wasn't signed into any of those at the time.

[Q] 3rd party phone lock app ?
I'm tired of ass-dialing 911. Does anyone make an app to securely lock an android phone (pin, pattern, password) where there is NO "Emergency Call" option on the screen ? Or at least where its location is not the EXACT SAME POSITION as the call button ? I don't care if it is free or costs money. I have an S3, it is not rooted (still under warranty). I'm running 4.4.2.
How the hell do you accidentally dial 911? If you're rooted, there are Xposed modules that can get rid of the Emergency Call option.
The position of 'Emergency Call' is right where the dial feature is. I want to see if the 'Emergency Call' feature has been relocated in an app, like toward the top of the screen. That way, when I grab my phone at one end to put it in my pocket, I won't activate it and also dial the number. My phone is NOT rooted...I am looking for alternate ways of doing this.
nothing? nobody with any ideas ?

Maybe try Widget locker as lockscreen replacement. Ooops, just saw you need a secure lock solution, this won't do, sorry.
Missing calls, no logs when screen is off
I used to have the same issue and decided to reflash my ROM and reinstall apps one by one and my phone stopped having this issue but now is back. The issue is that whenever my screen is off and I receive a call my phone rings for a second and then it stops, when I go check who called there's no notification or log about the call. Anybody having this issue. I know it must be a app issue but have no idea which app.
The only app I have installed that could mess with it is GravityBox but I looked trough all the settings, disabled it and uninstalled it and it still does the same problem. But I am pretty sure it has something to do with it. I also looked into the Call Forwarding option and disabled it but it still does he same thing. This is driving me nuts. I can only receive calls or see whos calling by having my screen on!
XZ1 text arrival noise
Hi, I searched this forum and youtube to no avail. I cannot see any setting to make a text message have a sound when it arrives. At the moment I just get a buzz. I went to settings on the phone for texts and all it shows is notifications as on. Even advanced settings has nothing saying sounds when texts arrive. Thanks in advance.
Stock app?

Try clean flash to latest firm - if not work, maybe bad hardware.
