Hello all,
I'm new here, have read lots of the information available, but came here looking for an answer that I haven't found yet.
Situation is the following.
I got this Qtek2020 (or XDA II) from my dad who used it for his work. The reason he stopped using it is because the "phone" function itself is kind off acting weird.
Sometimes it is just nog possible to get into phone mode, neither of the two methods make te device display the dial pad...
- hitting the green button
- going Start-> phone
(It's kind off like a non responding program in windows when you want to execute it)
To make things clear, the phone works fine if we go to contacts and then choose the option to call the contact.
The question is, does this problem seem familiar and is there a way to fix it by for example putting a new rom on the device?
Any help or input about this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I think the HARD RESET should help . After a long... long work configuration data and other settings going to be ... melted . If U don't store on devise impotrant data just remove the battery for about 20 mins .
Hey guys I searched, but couldn't find anyone with the same issue, so hopefully someone could help me. My touch pro is Sprint (Don't know if it makes a difference), but I can not answer any of my calls being hardware buttons or screen, nothing works. I've been using s2u2 and never had a problem, but I uninstalled it thinking there may have been an issue, but no, still happening. Sometimes if i hit either the hardware or software key a bunch of time it will answer, but only like every 1 out of every 10 times. Also I've been calling myself to check and the call will only come through 1 out of 10 times. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Can't Answer Calls
Before you do a hard reset, I recommend that you read this thread on ppcgeeks http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=40427 , it took a a couple of weeks to figure this out, but it worked for me.
Good Luck.
Hi Everyone,
I have switched over to the Galaxy S2 a little over a month ago. I moved from a Blackberry because of its own issues and having to reboot the phone etc.. but that is neither here nor there...
Before i updated the phone with ICS my Sms and Email notification sounds would work, all the time from what I remember. But now the phone sometimes plays the notification sounds and sometimes it doesnt. All my sounds are turned up full.
I am waiting on a loaner phone from my provider but until then I was hoping to fix it myself.
So today I did a factory reset and the phone did its thing. The notification sounds were working for the most part of the day and now I have a recieved a few texts and emails and the notification sounds didnt sound.
I have searched this problem and really have came up with nothing on this issue.
A few things i did notice though, after i did a factory reset on the phone that when it completed it still had the ICS op on the phone, shouldnt the factory reset have "re-formated" the phone and brought it down to gingerbread?
I apologize if this is lengthy but it is better to tell the issues and what I have done to try and rectify the issues incase some of the things that I have done is what would be suggested.
Thanks for any suggestions and help
Ok i figured out the problem... in the developer options i had selected kill processes after use. When i unchecked it the sound notifications for sms worked properly again.
Problem solved.

Hi,
My S3 is acting up. The first 24 hours it was okay, but out of the sudden it has developed a habit of not playing SMS and ringtones all the way trough, it plays only the first ½ second.
Tried selecting other SMS and ringtones, with no change. Restarted / powercycled the phone. Check that no other apps are running (taskmanager)
What might be wrong?
Getting the same problem as you my friend
I believe others are having the same trouble as us. . . .
One solution was to make the vibration last longer as it might be the problem.
I made a new vibration pattern but this only happens with a call.
Hopefully someone will find a solution soon . . . It doesn't always happen which is more worrying.
Yea, this is exactly the same issue. I don't use vibration with sound enabled though, but it seems different how long the phone plays the tones. If i select the "KNOCK" sms tone, it might knock 1, 2 or 3 times - randomly.
Got the same problem defo seems like a bug I'm sure Samsung will be releasing bug fixes soon

Just reset my phone. SMS and ringtones seems to be working fine again - for now... I'd hate to do this every 24 hours.
BUMP. My SGS3 just started doing this earlier. Has anyone found a better solution than resetting the damn phone?
tried above suggestion of making a new vibration pattern and it seems to be working. will update thread to confirm if fix is permanent.
update: only a few hours after the supposed fix, it's acting up again. sigh.
Mine was doing the same. Found a solution i think... copy the desired tone eg ur .mp3 into all folders such as ringtones, media > audio > notifications, notifications folders. It must read from one of these folders but not sure which one so i copied it into all n tested a few times by getting some1 to sms me and it worked. Hope this helps out. Don't know why it started doing this all of a sudden though
Ok that wasn't it...but now found another thing. If u have the option in msg settings 'delete old msgs' n u have reached your limit, when you have received a msg from that person which the limit he been exceeded, the tone won't play or it will only play for one sec like mine. 2 options to fix this: 1) untick that option or put a higher number in woohoo
Its been a rough day for me.
I was using my galaxy gts5282 just fine like everyone else!
Suddenly after rebooting my status bar gone.
Tried hard reset.
It came back and then gone again.
I tried different roms, kernels,flashed stock.Nothing solved my problem.Every time it comes back after hard reset and vanish again.
I asked so many people's .
Nothing worked.
I hope someone here can solve my problem
#Thanks in advance.
