Some calls don't ring - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Anybody have issues where some phone calls don't ring? For example, I had a missed call today that didn't ring and barely displayed on the screen long enough to notice and answer the call, and not even a minute after, somebody else called and the phone wrong with no problem. I've noticed this since I got the phone last week and wonder if I should exchange it if it's a faulty unit.

welcome to sprint.. i've had issues where the phone never rings and call goes directly to voicemail despite the phone showing full bars.. usually if someone calls a second time right after the phone rings

I don't mean that. I'm use to not getting calls....I've been with Sprint since 2001. My issue is that my phone is actually getting the call, but there's no ring sound. I will have the phone right in front of me and somebody will call without any noice, and then somebody else will call shortly after and the ringtone sounds loudly.

Im having this issues as well except mine will ring for less than 1 second then stop.. It does it more often on text messages

What ROM are you running? Do it have profiles?

Horrible beeping during phonecall?!?!?

Put WM6 on not too long ago, and its been fine. Anyhow just like 2 weeks ago it sometimes makes this super annoying beeping sound. And its not a beep for a txt msg (which I would also LOVE to remove the 3 beep crap, maybe make it just one beep, if anyone knows how) but more importantly this new random beeping is driving me nuts. It seems to happen more when Im on longer calls but I may not be 100% on that.
Anyone else ever experience? Ive restarting my phone a few times hoping it would solve it but no go. I could do hard reset maybe? Would rather not but..
Oh and to note versions
ROM 3.57.502.1
ROM date 7/10/07
Radio 1.48
Protocol 32.81.7020.20H
Thanks
Any beep I have during a phone call is because another call is coming in at the same time. This sounds like what's happening to you... "call waiting"

Sounds like a notification "beep during a phone call every 1 minute".
its def not call waiting or battery dying or txt msg or email or anything similar. Ill check the 1min beep but I dont think it happens every minute not to mention that was never turned on. Hell I dont even remember where to turn it on but ill look thru the settings.
Any other ideas? I really dont believe its either of those =(
Hello,
The only times I've heard such loud beeping is when I'm calling (or being called by) a friend who is on the Sprint network.
Every now and then this loud beep comes up... Very loud, unlike any beep/bong/screech the phone produces... The funny thing is that he doesn't hear it... :/
I assume is some kind of cell signaling that is not being filtered by Sprint...
Maybe it's a roaming alert or something like that.
As far as changing your alert for messages/voice mails, you can do that through the "sounds and notifications" icon under settings.
I sometimes get a beep to remind me that I have a message that I haven't yet opened. At least that's what I think it is.

This is what's been happening to my wife. Everybody that talks with her on the phone, will hear this loud beep. And it's really loud. If you had your stereo headset that came with the 8525 it almost hurts. She doesn't hear anything. At first I thought it was my WM6 ROM or something but it happened to my mother-in-law while on the phone with my wife, and it's happened to me when I call my wife from the company line.
She and I are both on AT&T. Now that I see this thread, I might give AT&T a call.
Yes so heres what ive concluded. I was on a 30min phone call with the woman and at approx 3minutes it made the beep. Not once again after. When I was odne with the call, no notifications (no txt, no email, no missed call, no low battery).
I will note, though, when I got an incoming call while on the phone before I thought the sound was different (may be wrong) but recently I received one while on the other line and the sound it made is the same as the one im hearing, however when i hear it, there are no calls coming in. My phone is stupid maybe and thinks someone is calling =(
May have to hard reset and hard that fixes but dont want to go that route just yet.
You sure you aren't moving the scrollwheel? I a lefthanded person sometimes find myself moving the scrollwheel during a phonecall, this also gives a beep.
def not moving it. In fact, I have also disabled those sounds from scrolling in the registry some time ago
I am not hearing a beep on mine but people that I am talking to say they hear a loud beep sometimes only once or twice during a 30 minute call. We are both on AT&T however. They also say they only hear this beep while talking to me. I've changed roms and the beep still occurs I am told.
Did you ever find any answers?
Its the spooks monitoring your calls, come on own up, what you done??
I've had a couple of odd beeps on calls too. AT&T as well. Running Schaps 4.2.

miss calls while in-call

does anyone experience similar problems? when im in a call, any phone calls that i get automatically become missed calls for me.. sometimes if they call a second time, it'll go through and i'll get it, but i seem to always miss the first call...
im also wondering if this is an att issue or my phoneissue. also, im flashed to energy rom..
anybody? im missing a lot of my calls this way! nobody else using att or energy rom has this problem? ALL call waiting calls come through? :"(
i got the same prob. no audible call waiting notification, the phone shows incoming call, but no audible.
I have to set mine to notify me of second call. Go to phone then to services I think then to call waiting and have it turned on by provider.

Call Waiting Issue

While on the phone with someone, if someone else calls, the current call goes completely mute.my girlfriend can't hear them and they can't hear her. Is there anyway I can fix this?
I have a Nexus One and I don't experience this issue.
This happened to me today! Ended up having to hang up on them and callin um back. Wonder what were doing wrong?

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but this sounds like normal call waiting behavior to me. If you want the current and incoming call to be able to hear each other you need to conference the calls, not use call waiting...
I'm having the same problem on my TP2.
What happens is this... You are on a call with 1 person... Another person calls, call waiting shows that another person is calling, BUT the problem is that my phone gets muted. You CAN hear the person you are on the line with, but they CAN NOT hear you, and turning your mute on and off does not help. Also, even if u take the other call... That person also can not hear you.
This is a big problem because you must end the call and call back the person u were on the line with... also, if the other person keeps calling... it turns into a real mess...
Any ideas?

[Q] lagging in phone call/ receive

i am running xdandroid froyo 2.2 frx07 in my tp2.
just wondering did anyone experience the condition as what i meet.
i use the phone of my friend right beside me to make call to myself. i can listen from his phone the tone of calling... however my own phone did not ring and nothing was happened for about 20 seconds; after that then only my phone start ringing (some time a missed call alert came out).....
the same thing happen when i make call, my phone doesn't have tone of calling; but my friend's phone already ringing....
did anyone have the same problem? how to solve it?
appreciate for the sharing.....
thanks

I observed the same issue with incoming calls, but never noticed it for outgoing calls. I know when a call is about to come in, because my phone will just go black first, then I hear the ringtone about 3 seconds after, then the screen appears after 3-5 seconds so I get to pick up the call.

Ditto. Incoming calls are difficult at best to answer, but outgoing is no problem whatsoever.
I am experiencing the same behavior, i gussed it is performance issue with the phone app, but this is exeteremly annoying, however, wont stop me from using this rom as my main phone. Wish there was a fix though

I had incoming call lag in winmo, wouldn't ring until the other person had heard like 3 rings. To be honest, I haven't really checked the delay since switching to xdandroid.
FWIW, I reduced the delay back in winmo days by lowering the slot cycle index. No idea if that change would carry over into android or not. Or even if the change is still intact for me since I've installed a vzw update since I did that. Don't care much lately either, some calls I prefer to miss

You can normally tell when someone does receive a call waiting notification either from the conversation cutting out or hearing some other anomally. I don't think that this would be a software issue for Google to fix though.

I turned the call waiting off , then i called myself and picked up, and then called from another number at the same time then it just say user is busy it gives no beeping or any kind of notification when i am on a call, this is one of the issues with android. and definately a missing feature or havent been looked at.Cause only i should get the notification for beeping not the caller who is on call waiting.
i havent used any androids before but in any other phone i used there is no notification to my caller that i am receiving a call just to me i get a beep sound that someone is on call waiting.
No one has an answer ? Common guys I am on the biggest websites for android.
Anyone of you tried what i am talking about ?
I use the settings you were describibg and i get an anoying double beep sound when someone else calls me...
Just by "phone-app > settings > adittional >".
Remember that some serviceproviders don't support this feature though.

is there any develpor even looking or understanding what i am trying to say here ?
or can someone point me in a direction so i can atleast point this to someone who can do something about it ?
have anyone tried or tested what i am talking about ?
ok again i ll try to elaborate my question again.
i am on a call with 1st person , a second person calls me i can hear the beep that someone else is calling but the 1st person i am talking to also gets a beep that another person is calling me. why ?
and if i turn off call waiting is settings>additinal settings then i dont get any notification and i cant pick up the call ,as i am not notified,and the second user just get that i am busy

Wauw I never knew other hear the beep as well. But as fast as it happens i tell the person i'm calling with to wait for a second (unless that call is more important) and then i click the on hold button. After 2 or 3 seconds my phone will ring and I can pick it up...
how long are people allowed to dial in, and have you got redirect (wich standard goes to voicemail) on at your phone or provider? Check that up by dialing your voicemail and checking the spoken information. As for the beep... i can't reproduce it nor know it... how loud is your speaker?

Basically what he is saying that both parties hear the beep when someone is calling him. I hear it too in my phone, I think its a service provider thing because in my country, every phone I had switched on call waiting both parties will hear the beep.
P.s even when using my Bluetooth so there is no way they can hear it from my speaker.

exactly, but if i put my sim in my nokia phone only i hear the beep that someone is calling the other person doesnt.
So i am sure this is not related to service provider.
I am in canada and with WIND
Then long gone the feature phones. Welcome to the smart phones world. I don't think you can get rid of that, I'm stuck with it so I stopped paying attention. You should too

Well how can you say that this is a feature ? lol......
I know this is a smartphone , but right know i can see this is a dumb feature(if you call it a feature),or i can say this havent been looked into at all by google.
So now my question do all androids have this same issue ?
Can some pro-dev tell me if there is anything that can be done ,any tweak any software ?
