8125 Issue - Phone rings and vibrates on soft reset

I don't know if anyone else has had or is having this problem, but i thought i would ask for help.
Sometimes I have to perform a hard reset. When I do, it runs through it's normal start up sequence, all the way through the windows mobile startup screen. As it begins to change from the startup to the today screen, the phone will begin to vibrate and ring on it's own. vibrate for a second or two, and then it's quiet for a second or two, and then ring. the ringer starts off soft, and then seems to work it's way up through to mid range, about 5 different levels of volume. The ringer then stops and the vibrate kicks back in again. It seems to last as long as it takes for my today screen to load. Please understand, The last thing that i want to do is a hard reset, and I'm sure that this would fix the problem, I just don't want to go through the headache of installing all my software. I can hear some people saying, "not a big issue if you have a system backup.." well, I'm thinking that the issue has got to be somewhere in the registry, and I'm thinking that by installing a backup, will only copy the issue back onto my device. I don't soft reset my phone that often, so I can live with the issue if I have to. I just thought I would throw this out there and see if someone might be able to help me out.

Sounds to me that you either pressed the volume button upwards while you phone were starting up or there is something wrong with your volume button in general (either hardware or software). If you have the possibility reflash the device with your shipped ROM version, then see if that persists!

Serious problem... cant answer incoming calls!

I think its a software bug... Its really annoying if someone calls me and I cant accept the call My ringtone just keeps ringing and I just can stupidly look on the screen without answering :S I push the green "answer" button but the call doesnt accept. I neither can use the red "ignore" button. This problem gets solved with a reset but happends again after a short time.
Is there any solution for this´? Is there any possibility to accept the call trough the touchscreen?
Please help me I am really desperate!!!
Thanks in advanche.

Uhhmm.....i guess you know that you have to 'slide' the button to the green field if you wanna answer...not 'push' the green spot.
Anyways...you can also use the (physical) buttons of the phone to answer or disconnect.

I think you missunderstood me. I actually mean the physical buttons! They arent working anykind. Normally if I press the green "dial/answer" button the dialer application appears right? But it dont! After software resetting it does again somehow for short time. And if I get a call then I press the physical button but the call doesnt accept. It just keeps ringing further. There is no chance to accept the call. And there is no option to accept the call trough the touchscreen.

Indeed, i misunderstood..sorry!!
If the buttons didn't work at all, i would be thinking of a hardware problem, but since you can solve it for a short while with a soft reset.....i'm not so sure of that.
You still have the option of a hard reset, you could give it a shot, just to be sure(Remember to back up your stuff ).
Otherwise send it in for warranty...presuming you still have it.

Thanks for the reply!
I dont think its a hardware problem because the buttons are working again somehow after a software reset. But the problem happens again some time later
Sending it to warranty is no choice since I always got trouble with my warranty!
My old touch had an software problem and couldnt boot so i send it to the warranty and they just send it me back with no repairs claiming that the warranty gets lost if I connect my device with a computer :S
Anyway i hope there is a solution without hardware resetting

Just a thought....
Did you install any locking software which locks the device fully? It may be the one preventing you from answering calls...
HTH...

No I didnt install anything kinda like that. Is there a dialer replacement I could use instead?

I have also noticed this bug on my Jade running the official 2.32 update from HTC:
When a cal is received, the phone rings but it doesn't display who is calling (the device keeps showing the home screen). This is not happening at every call, but I can't find what is causing this behaviour (it happens even after hard reset, so no additional programs running in the background).
Any ideas how to overcome this?

phone is on but wont 'wake up'

when you press the hangup button it will turn the screen off, and may or may not lock it..
but i been having problems with it not waking back up the keys at the bottom will light up and not htc sense menu shows...
is it ust me? whats wrong with it? i paid 495£ for this phone an only got it on the 24th Decemeber??
I don't know what to do i tried rebotting etc etc...

Martyn,

Doesnt seem to be the same, sometimes if i hold the power button, and then push windows button it will randomy work, and its still on as the keyboard lights react to button pressing....

Personally I would give it a go. If it doesn't work then you can assume that its something else, maybe a hardware failure.
What software have you loaded on recently? How much memory have you got free at the moment? If you have a load of software loaded up are they all loaded onto the device memory or the external card? Are you sure you don't have a software conflict going on?
As you can see there are many factors that could be in play here. Notification queue lockups are a biggie. If you eliminate this from the equation then you can start to eliminate the others from it too.
Hope this helps.

I've had this problem a few times, and I do only mean about 3 times since I got the phone, so I don't sweat over it.
I've had to pop the battery out each time except once, where a long-press on the power/end-call button brought the display on.
I'm guessing it's nothing to really worry about, unless of course it happens a lot.

WP7 End Call Issue

Hi Guys,
I have been having issues when trying to end a call with the new WP7 Rom. I also used to have this when using Andriod Roms.
When I go to end a call, pressing the end call button does nothing apart from light up the keypad. I've tried pressing every button but nothing but the keypad lighting up happens, the call never ends! I have to remove my battery and switch the phone back on to get the use of my phone back.
I have :
HardSPL 2.08
MAGDLR111
Radio 2.15.50.14
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

Did you not try the end call on the screen? Not the hard one on the bottom right of phone

The screen turns off when making a call so the touch buttons are not available. This is why I have to remove the battery as I have no other way of bringing the display back to life. Obviously if I make a call and the other person hangs up it's fine. However if they do not answer and it goes to voicemail or I call my voicemail I get stuck in a never ending loop of press 2 to hear your messages.

Official windows phones have no hard end call button, just the on screen one, therefor I dont think its possible to end a call with the hardware button. Yes, the screen goes off when making a call, but due to the proximity censor it should come back when you move it away from your head. If it does not, make sure its not covered, even a screen protector can block the proximity sensor. Its located next to the speaker.

Hmm I removed the screen protector and still no joy when I move the phone away from my face. The screen just remains black. I did crack the screen about 5 months ago and had it replaced, perhaps they've done a poor job on this....

Don't think so... My is in perfect shape. proximity works on android but not on wp7... i also can't press end call button.

same thing with me
well i get the same problem with mine also, is there anything we can do for that.

I have the same issue, though it only happens to me when calling my voicemail. I hit "end call" and it just hangs there with the message "Ending call..." and I have to pull the battery :/ Regular phone calls have been just fine though.

Finally cracked this one!
I have been experiencing this issue on my Optimus 7 phone since day one, on all firmware versions and I now have the latest update.
This is what worked for me:
-set the automatic brightness to off and choose any manual setting that suits your needs, I chose medium.
-set the screen timeout to never (not sure that this is necessary, I will change it back to 30 sec to see if the issue returns and post back)
I hope this works with your phones, it was really frustrating to pull the batery out. Good luck!

I've had this issue as well. Pressing the end call button on the screen won't end many of my calls, voicemail or to another person. But it's rare enough that it hasn't bothered me, too much. But is a problem that needs to be figured out, if possible.

We should come up witha way to re map the hard buttons to usefull use

I'm assuming your phone is an HD2. First of all, the call should automatically end when the other party hangs up. Secondly, just hit the Power button to turn the screen back on and then unlock the phone and hang up. What is so difficult? WP7 remaps the HD2 buttons so they don't work as they did in WM.
