[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
Hello everybody,

Everything is fine with my Arc, except for the huge problem that sometimes I simply can't answer an incoming call! It happens like this: When a call is incoming, the phone starts ringing and vibrating as it usually does. However, the screen that is supposed to come up which shows you who is calling and where you can select to accept or reject the call is simply not showing up.

Has anybody experienced this before?

All I can do is slide to unlock the screen and then I'm looking at my home screen with the phone still ringing but no chance to get the call. There is nothing in the notification area or anywhere else where I could answer the call. All I can do is to wait until the ringing stops!! Really really bad behavior.

Furthermore, once the ringing has stopped, there is no information about the missed call in the call log. So I can't even call back the person who called me!

First time this happened I had "Plants vs Zombies" running so I figured the phone wasn't fast enough to switch to the incoming call. But it also happens when the phone is idling.

There seems to be no scheme behind all of this. Sometimes it happens twice in a row, sometimes only once a week.

I got my unbranded simlock free Arc in mid April with 2.3.2 and .181 firmware and applied Gingerbreak for root access. Later I upgraded via PC Companion to 2.3.3. and .145 firmware. But I lost root which I didn't like. So I downloaded the Generic World Firmware .181 and flashed it on the phone. Then used Gingerbreak again and made an OTA update to 2.3.3. and .145 firmware. Now I have root and the latest firmware.

All the while I used Titanium Backup to restore all my data, settings and apps as I don't want to reinstall all from scratch because it would take forever.

With this latest firmware, everything is fine, except for the call problem!

Please help me, what can I do?? I don't want to reflash and upgrade or whatever or lose all my data. I just want my phone to be able to handle calls as it should be!!

P.S.: I used Antek App Manager and frooze (not deleted!) some apps which where uncessesary and running in the background or at startup which speed up my startup time and free ram quite a bit. But I didn't frooze any crucial apps, at least I hope. Only stuff like Chinese keyboard and Let's Golf etc.

Also, if I would have frozen the call handling app or something, I wouldn't be able to accept calls in most cases, wouldn't I?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
Think you may have answered your own question here...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
could be, but on the other hand I only frooze really stupid apps which should not affect any important functions of the phone. Also, if I frooze something important related to calls, why is it working most of the time? This is what I don't get.

Here is what I frooze (most of them just took up space in the app drawer and I don't use them), maybe it helps:

- stock browser (I use Opera)

- chinese keyboard (I'm german and don't need it)

- "Downloads"

- retaildemo

- live ware manager

- fb mediadiscovery

- dlna server

- news and weather

- postcard

- SE setup wizard

- sim toolkit

- sony ericsson sync service

- playnow

- sony ericsson support

- track id

- twitter

- let's golf

- google talk

- sony ericsson sync client wizard
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisheak.bansal:
so is your problem solved?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Anything related to google should be left alone news and weather should be fine to freeze or delete but would leave Talk alone, and depending what data from which FW was backed up, might also be an issue.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
so I defrosted Google Talk. Anything else I should defrost?

Under "Settings" and then "Running services" I sometimes stop "Timescape Legacy Plugin" or whatever it's called because it takes up RAM. Could this also be a cause but I believe it's only for the Timescape app which I seldom use.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flamez:
I have the exact same problem.

It doesn't happen often but it's really annoying either way.

I barely installed anything off the market and I don't use any sort of app killers/managers.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
that's strange because I thought it could be my own fault because I played around and frooze same apps. But it's "good" to know that I'm not the only one.

Do you have any hints about when it happens or when not? Can you exclude anything?

Today, I re-enabled all the froozen apps and then frooze some of them again, according to the thread here on xda. But only apps about which I was really sure.

Don't know how I could test if the error is gone. I mean, have people calling me 100 times and hope it occurs or not doesn't really sound great.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisheak.bansal:
may be there is some problem in your firmware,try some other firmware of other region.................
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flamez:
That's the weirdest part, the only thing I used that day was Whatsapp.

The incident happened about 5 hours later, I was in a car when my phone started ringing.

I tried picking it up but.. I guess you know the rest..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briggs007:
I was about to buy this phone but now I'm having second thoughts.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
@flamez

yesterday it happened to me again. The weird thing is, that my girlfriend said she called me three times but I heard it ringing four times! She claims she didn't call me between her second and her third call! But it definetly rang but I couldn't answer it. Also my other friends say that they didn't call me at this time. Could be someone calling who I don't know at the exact time but the chance is slim I guess.

Also whenever there is such a phantom call, there's not even a hint of it inside the missing calls log. And when this happens, nobody ever leaves a message on my mailbox. Is this the same for you? Could be the person is just lazy but I don't know.

Furthermore, it happened several times to me already and never once a person asked me later why I didn't get their call. Strange, isn't it. It almost seems like that there was no one calling at all!

Now, could it be for some unknown reason that our phones just start ringing as if there is a call but in fact there isn't one at all?! You know, the phone just running crazy and triggering the ringtone? That could be the reason why the "accept call screen" doesn't show up and there's no call log because there is now call!

I know, sounds very weird. But think about it. They could be really "ghost calls".
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flamez:
Well, I can tell you that this a great phone and it seems me and drsoran2 are the only ones with this problem..

Guess we just had some bad luck..

No, I don't think that's it..

It's happened only twice to me over a 2-3 month period and my friends have always called me back asking why I never pick up the phone.

It really just happens about once a month to me, and I can answer the second time they call me right away without any problem.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
Are you guys running task killers?

{EDIT - I remember OP saying that he'd frozen a load of stuff.. Suggest that if you're getting this a lot that you un freeze all of it and see how it goes, maybe just freeze the end user apps - like Lets Golf HD at first then build up the frozen apps slowly until you get the problem..}
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flamez:
No, as I said before, I'm not using any sort of task killers/app managers.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vu2ikl:
Today first time i encountered same problem. I have WhatsApp running in background. No task killer, nothing else.

Though i donno how to solve this problem. But i can surely tell how to pick up call in this case.

Just press the power key, this will take phone in locked state, but the call wont be rejected.

now click the home key and you will see the answer key, now slide it, it will slide without problem :p
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
it's good news that you found a workaround! I'll try to remember it the next time it happens.

Today, I had the problem again but this time it was different. The slider or the contact picture of the person calling didn't appear, but I could see the number of the person who is calling in the notification bar (not the name, just the number although this number and contact is stored in my contacts).

This happened the first time, all the other times the phone just rang without any hint of who is calling.

It would be nice if we were able to pinpoint a certain event which causes this odd behavior but so far I had no luck. What I'm doing differently since the last time it happened is, that I don't use task killers anymore. But still, it happened again today.

It's difficult to find out what it is when you don't know what causes it and when it will happen. For example, it happened to me today once for the first time in about a week.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
in recent days, "it" happened very often to me!

Sometimes, the phone manages to at least show the number of the person calling so that I can call back. But usually it doesn't! The call just disappears into nirvana.

Do you guys remember if the error is associated with a certain amount of RAM left available? In other words, if the available RAM at the time of the incoming call is below a certain limit (which I don't know) the phone can't display the call. When it happened to me today, I had only 90MB RAM left. Maybe the phone can't free up enough RAM fast enough?!

Also the trick, which somebody mentioned a few posts above me, that when it happens you press the power button and then home and then you can slide and accept the call very rarely works!

I'm desperate and don't know what to do about it. I have just finished adjusting my phone to my needs. I linked apps with Link2SD and now have over 100 apps installed and still 215MB left on the internal memory, I have root and the .145 firmware. Everything is fine, except for this error!! It would take ages to restore it to the point where it is now, if it is complety possible at all.

I mean, if a phone can't handle calls, what good is it for?

I had a NEC e616 years ago which frooze while sending SMS or crashed after connecting a call or during a call and other "funny" things, but this was well known for this model.

But we don't have 2004 anymore and I except the Arc to work.

I could send it in on warranty, possibly. But then everything would be erased and it would take forever to get it repaired.

And I'm afraid they are going to tell me that they couldn't reproduce the error (because it happens so randomly)!

Such a nice and beautiful phone if not for this stupid error!

I'm already tempted to get rid of the phone and look for something else. But who's going to buy a phone with a bug which can't display phone calls?!!

I mean, I could reset it and flash the fimware and stuff and then hope. Maybe the error is gone. Maybe it persists and then all my data is gone and I have to start from scratch.

Or it is gone and then I have to start from scratch also!

If I should be forced to do it all over again and have all the work, then I could do it on another phone as well.

The Samsung Galaxy SII is quite ugly, to wide and big but I hope it can at least handle a call?!

Thank you for any help!!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vu2ikl:
Hmm..

If it happens rarely.. Why don't you sell it off on ebay :p

If asked about other mobile. I prefer sensation to sgs2. Much better phone function. In fact IMO htc is better than all other androids when it comes to phone functions.

thx...sorry about the 'old' news....off to 3D land.
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
I was just going to post a thread about this... I saw a member on AC that said there is already an update out.. Curious to see what it is and what it does (like close up some holes that some devs may have found...??

This makes me want to wait before activating it just to be on the safe side (I'm over cautious about OTA updates)

edit-- just saw 3 of us posted at the same time... seems like a harmless update =)
[HTC EVO 3D] jhuff83:
Please do, that file seems big just for a calendar update.
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
It's a calendar bug-fix. The link has already been posted for it on one of these threads.

[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
If it unlocks (doubtful but hoping!!) hboot awesome, but at the same time does it close even more holes that could be exploited?

I'm leaning towards caution and wait before doing anything until the kick ass dev community can rip into it and see what's up

[Acer Iconia A500] jkrell:
Anyone out there experimented with accessories (headsets w/microphones) for use with GrooVe IP?

I know Bluetooth headsets w/mics don't work now (maybe in the future??). But has anyone tried USB headsets? I would like to try this, but I don't want to invest $$$ if this won't work.

Doesn't have to be just for GrooVe IP, but that's the only thing I need it for right now.
[Acer Iconia A500] jthacker48:
I've got GrooveIP working on my a500. In addition, I've got Obion running its proprietary VoIP solution. I've, also, got a Bria soft phone running several SIP accounts. I'll test it with my OfficeRunner Pro and post results.
[Acer Iconia A500] jthacker48:
No go! I can get power to my device but it never grabs the signal :(
[Acer Iconia A500] jkrell:
Thanks for following up. I can't find my USB headset.

I'm not sure this would be that useful... I just don't see myself using my tablet as a phone. But once my Droid is useless as a cellphone, it's nice to know I can use it as a WiFi phone!!!
[HTC Sensation] mobilehavoc:
This is odd but my Sensation is perfect from a hardware perspective right now (no guarantees on dust under screen in the future!) but for some reason the bottom area where the capacitive buttons are and the backside in the same area gets pretty warm/hot at times. Strangely no other area of the phone gets warm and the battery remains pretty cool. Also the phone doesn't exhibit any weird behavior or instability. I haven't had a single reboot or crash with this phone and I've been pushing it quite a bit.

So my conclusion is this heat is normal and how it's meant to be. Am I right?
[HTC Sensation] rolltideburr:
I have the same occurrences with my phone. Great performance- I have YET to have it freeze/lag up bad or reboot.. and that is just amazing. Like I said in the other thread, the back of my phone will get warm, but never hot. I do think its normal, because it only happens after I have been using it constantly for 20+ minutes. (Still frightens me though)
[HTC Sensation] imblacklife:
I don't know about the bottom area but my screen gets pretty warm while charging and I am using it to play games or whatever but for normal use I never noticed anything else getting warm.

Sent this sensational message for my sensation
[HTC Sensation] dbirdflyshi:
Just as a theory, the bottom there could be the location of the CPU.. I have yet to know or see a dissection of the device but i think maybe either CPU or memory is there.
[HTC Sensation] dougxd:
CPU, cell radio, and charging/discharging circuitry is down there. The screen getting warm is just heat passing through from the before-mentioned stuff. Pretty typical from a beefy phone like ours. :-) Good stuff!!
[HTC Sensation] DeoreDX:
My phone gets noticeably warm too, especially when transferring a lot of data.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Mine gets warm when charging it at the same time I'm playing a game. My G2X is the same exact way. I really could give two ****s less how hot it gets. These processors were made to burn and if they burn up. Get a replacement.
[HTC Sensation] dougxd:
Amen brother!
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
This happens to me too. It gets really hot when I'm charging it and doing something CPU-intensive.
[HTC Sensation] Cymruan:
all my touchscreen phones back to SPV's have got warm when in use for a while, so I wouldn't think this is an issue.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
I think the reason why it gets warmer than other phones is due to the aluminum case. Aluminum is a great heat conductor, and the way I see it it's a good thing in this case. I'd rather have the heat spread to the outside of the phone, vs having all of those internal components burning up. With plastic shell phones, the heat builds up internally with nowhere to go. Hooray for heat. :p
[HTC Sensation] a4ol:
If im charging and playing games for many hours, it gets a tad warm. A far cry from my other phones and unlike my iphone, the sensation does not lock up when. warm :p
[HTC Sensation] paullu:
I have same issue.I just buy sensation from tmobile store in full price and one day later I found when I am using phone for more than 10 mins the phone getting very very warm (hot) on the bottom of phone even more hot than hd 7 :confused:

it is normal or not?? if not normal what can I do? can I call tmobile to exchange ?or htc ?
[HTC Sensation] MxFadzil92:
I think it's normal for our phone. and to be honest i'm sacred of using the phone for a long time either for gaming or web surfing it. well i just wonder would there be any water cooling solution for our phone like the one the pc. hahaha :D
[HTC Sensation] Gunkk:
Yes heat is normal. The CPU is in the bottom front of the phone. So that's where it gets hot. Heavy surfing and gaming will make for lots of heat.

For liquid cooling, place in ziplock and use under water ;)

OK this is a tough one. Anyone know how to get this input on the Iconia?

(Sorry, can't post as a link.)

It looks like it's part of the official XT9 input method. But I only have the keyboard-input options for typing Chinese in my North American Iconia.

I tried several IME apps on the market and they don't work right on the tablet. The writing area is either too small, or the buttons are not where they're supposed to be.
[Acer Iconia A500] BusySignal:
Solved! For now.

Answering my own thread in case others have the same question.

After testing a few more handwriting apps, including Sogou and TouchPal, I found Baidu Input Method for Pad to be the best in providing tablet-aware Traditional Chinese handwriting with continuous word-suggestions.
[Acer Iconia A500] axalexax:
I too have the 3.1 installed, but don't have the handwriting option. Any idea why? it was stated in the official website that it should be included in the latest XT9 input system. I've also looked at the same youtube, it should just working right out of the OTA 3.1...

hope 3.2 gonna solve this or otherwise it's very frustrating....

Sounds like you are on a rom with journaling disabled. That will cause data corruption every time the phone is not shut down properly. Find a rom with journaling on. I will never again use a rom with journaling disabled.
