Droid 2 Global Issues - notif. bar and incoming calls

Ok, I've had my Droid 2 Global for about a year now, and for the most part it has been fine. However, on the latest couple of updates, some really annoying "features" have come up. On the current update, the notification bar disappears randomly. Not known cause. Also, if the notification bar disappears, when I receive and incoming call, it doesn't display the "answer call" screen, showing the contact. This makes it difficult to answer the call, especially when the screen is locked. I have to go unlock the screen, and go to a screen like I'm going to call someone, and THEN I can see who is calling and maybe answer. If it hasn't gone to VM already. This is really stupid - first and foremost, this thing is a FREAKING PHONE. I should be able to answer a call.
Frustrated. Any ideas/help?
Thanks,

  • IPhone 5s call signal strength is 3 bars and my calls are breaking up?

    I switched from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5s and now my iPhone signal strength is 3 bars and my calls are breaking up? what gives?
    I live on top of a hill in a major metropolitan city and my carrier has always been Verizon and my call signal strength has always been 5 bars and occassionally on a cloudy rainy day I had 4 bars. Since upgrading to the 5s my call signal strength at my home has never gone past 3 bars even when Wi-Fi is connected. When W-Fi is turned off and LTE service kicks in, the call signal strength flutters between 2-3 bars and if I am on a call, the person on the other end is telling me I am breaking up.  This has never happened with my iPhone 4, my iPhone 4s.  Is anyone else noticing signal problems?

    I am also having the same exact issue. I had an iPhone 4S with Sprint servince and always had at least 4 bars of service (4 dots after iOS7 upgrade) and I am now fluctuating between 1 and 2 dots on my new iPhone 5S. I am also having people I am on the phone with tell me that I sound like I'm in a tunnel and or that I am breaking up. I am also hearing the breakup of voice service even when speaking to someone on a landline. I took my first iPhone 5S back to the store and traded it in for a new one and am having the same exact problem with this new 5S phone. I was told by the salesman at the store that the problem was due to the 5S is using different towers than the 4S and that the new towers for the 5S were still being implemented. Do I know this to be true or necesarily believe this? No. Do I hope it's true or that Apple will come up with a fix for this problem in the very, very near future? Yes. Apple, what is going on with my service? It's obvious that it's happening to users from all of the major American networks.

  • I've installed ios 7.0.6 on my iphone 4 and lost voice on outgoing and incoming calls. My simm is ok, i've checked it, I've done a full clean and restore. Still no calls. Please help.

    Hi there,
    I've just installed ios 7.0.6 on my iphone 4 and now lost voice on outgoing and incoming calls.It rings on incoming and I'm told rings on the recipient's 'phone, but then no vocal communication...its just dead. My simm is ok, i've checked it, I've done a full clean and restore of the 'phone. Still no calls.
    I've not caused any physical or water damage to the 'phone. I would welcome any help/suggestions to get my calls back asap.
    Please help.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

  • I am having problem with my notifications bar and control centre bar. It doesn't work with sliding my fingers on the screen and when I restart the phone it works properly  but again after few days the problem persist? My phone is an iphone6 8.1.3

    notification bar and control centre not working by sliding on the screen and when u restart it works fine for 4-5 days then again the problem persists

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • When I have my handsfree plugged in, the sms-tone and incoming-call ringtone is only played in my earpluggs. Any suggestions anyone?

    When I have my handsfree plugged in, the sms-tone and incoming-call ringtone is only played in my earpluggs. Any suggestions anyone?

    I experience the same problem and it's extremely annoying. Have you found a solution yet? 
    Of course one might want to keep the earphones plugged in most of the time (if this is the way you prefer to answer you calls + talk on the phone) even if you're not using the phone/earphones. The ringtone does come through to to the speaker when someone calls… yet the sms signal DOES NOT and only plays in the earphones.   
    This means that the earphones must be unplugged after every call and then plugged in again before every call in order not to miss any sms:es! (Talk about unsafe driving e.g.!)
    It would seem to be such an obvious setting/option to include in the iPhones settings. Why has Apple has completely missed this!? .... or is there a solution?
    I have searched the internet but haven't found a solution?

  • Notification sounds vs incoming call tones

    Is it possible to turn off the incoming call ringtone, but still have new messages and new mail notifications tones be heard?
    I am not supposed to get calls at work, but e-mails (through my work account) are fine and would like to hear when they are recieved. I use this as my work PDA, but do not want hear incoming calls.

    Here is where I found mine: http://richardkmiller.com/702/iphone-tip-use-a-silent-ringtone-to-screen-calls-i n-your-sleep

  • Why are my Text Contacts and incoming calls only are showing as "Message Received"

    All of my text contacts messages just say "Message Received", but if I have set a ringtone for them, that is the ringtone that plays. The same is true of incoming calls, It will show the phone number, but not the assigned name. I don't know everyone's phone number! I barely remember mine!
    HELP?? Please ?!
    How do I get my caller ID to work properly again?
    I have a Galaxy S3
    Thanks

        Hey there, celtmaidn! Thank you for bringing this matter to the community. I'm sorry that your Caller ID isn't providing you with the details you need, but I'm happy to help. If I understand correctly, incoming calls and messages do not display the name of any of your calls or messages, just the number. Does the same occur on your outbound calls and/or messages? Also, you may have a contact (example: Dave) that you have programmed in your S III with a mobile number, but "Dave" may have a home number as well. Have you confirmed that the number used for that call or message is the same one you have programmed into your device?

  • Can´t ear and incoming call that is transfer

    Hi I´m using the SPA9000 and SPA400 together with Polycom 301, 501 and 320 phones.
    The SPA9000 works great when I transfer an incoming call from SPA400 to the analog FXS ports of the SPA9000 but when I pickup the call and try to transfer the call to an IP phone I can´t ear the person who call although he can ear me.
    Other thing I want to know is how to set a pickup group for the incoming call and how to pickup the calls?
    Sincerely,
    Jose H 

    Tap the power button once to silence the ringing, twice to send to voicemail.

  • Telephone numbers and incoming calls

    Do I need to have a telephone number in order to receive incoming calls?  If not, how would anyone call me?  What number would they use?  

    Hi Sagar,
    I don't think you'd be able to monitor calls from a website but you could build a system that monitors calls and submits that data to a site using for example, http.
    It's difficult to point you in a direction without more information, specifically about the phone system hardware. Many phone systems come with an api that allows you to interact with it. Which system will you be using?

  • Linksys SPA3102 "flashing" and incoming call problem.

    I tried to do as much research as I could before posting, however i'm stuck =/.
    My Setup:
    Phone Port on wall Split into three phone ports, one with a fax in it, one with a splitter, one empty.
    From the splitter I have a line into a D-link modem and a line into the back of the SPA3102.
    From the D-Link modem i have an ethernet cable plugged into the SPA3102 [im not using the inbuilt modem, should i be ?]
    Also from the D-link modem i have a D-link wireless router.
    Then I have a line into a set of Telstra V900 cordless phones from the SPA3102.
    I also have another phone connected directly to the PSTN line in another room.
    The problem is when a call is coming in on the PSTN line the phone connected directly to the PSTN line rings however the phones connected to through the SPA3102 don't register the call until much after the PSTN phone does. I'm not sure how to go about fixing that.
    Also should I pick up on the wired PSTN handset, how do I go about switching to the wireless handset. "flashing" i think it's called. 
     NOTE: I'm in the market for new wireless phones anyway as the telstra V900 ones are crap, any recmomendations ?
    Any help would be appreciated. 

    First I didn’t understand what you meant for “I’m not using the inbuilt modem” for the SPA-3102. Did you mean you set the SPA-3102 as a bridged? 
    If you are using a phone splitter where one of the 3 phone ports is connected to the PSTN portion of the SPA-3102 and the other phone splitter port is into another phone and someone calls the PSTN line, the phone connected to the splitter will really ring for it gets a share of the signal coming from the splitter. The phone connected to the phone port (FXS) port for the SPA-3102 will ring only if the PSTN signal has successfully transferred the call to the from the PSTN line registration to the actual Line 1 registration. If that is not happening, there are some registration settings you need to check in the SPA-3102. One important parameter is the registration status of the Line 1 and PSTN lines. You can check that under the Info section just make sure you are login as admin advanced login with the SPA-3102. You should be getting registration state “registered” confirming that the VoIP information you set in the SPA-3102 is valid. If registrations are correct, maybe you need to know is the PSTN Line is transferring the call to the VoIP line section. Setting up this portion is discussed in this link:

  • I have the same issue. I can hear who is calling me but they can't hear me. It happened at least 20-25 times since Friday when I got my phone. I know for sure it is not the reception issue. I have a full bars, and the call going through but person on the

    is it software problem or Hardware [problem i dont know.

      I was not asking about an English professor. I was referring to my phone and I do not have the good fortune to live close to an apple store and Att will do nothing for me as they have no clue what to do. I was hoping someone here in what I was told was a nice community and could help with some issues would be able to help. I think that your not very kind person and way to critical of people and must be really unhappy to respond to someone who is just looking for help. Thank you for your concern about my future and life skills however, it is not important to me if you care of not about my future! I just needed help from a person who has had this issue and was able to fix it.
      BTW  If you must know while your so concerned, I was in an accident and suffered TBI and am lucky to be alive and that all things are coming back much slower then others. You sir were just mean and I am sad that you would take the time out of your day to be so hateful and rude!

  • Wifi and incoming calls

    Can I use the wifi hotspot and still make/receive calls on my Droid?

    PJNC284 wrote:

    They are using the phone as a hotspot, so the phone is actually using data, which in turn would not work when on a call.
