Call issues in Omnia 3.2.7

Call issues in Omnia 3.2.7
February 01, 2010 01:03AM
If a call comes in while PS is showing the lock-screen, PS shuts down the power (together with the call) according to time-out setting. So if one didn't manage to answer the call before the time-out, the phone goes to sleep mode, ring stops and there's no way to answer. For the caller this sounds like no answer. Reproduced this issue several times with different phone behaviour but same outcome - unable to answer the call.
Seems like there should be an exception for Caller ID but I didn't find how to create it.

Omnia i900, Windows default dialer, PS CallerID.

Hello, that is not normal. Indeed no one ever reported this. In the worst case, this could happen a fraction of second just BEFORE the ring starts, but not while ringing, even though ringer would turn it on again. Which ROM is it?

Regards,

Hello.
It's a custom ROM Win 6.5 build 23620 by P-Dhee from Modaco. Tried some other software with Caller ID and never noticed such an issue.
Just now reproduced this behaviour again:
1. PS settings: unlock only by sliding, Caller ID is on, 10 secs to turn off if device wakes up but not unlocked.
2. Turn on the phone but don't slide (phone is locked, PS screen is visible).
3. Call my number from the other phone.
4. Windows caller bubble appears and immediately disappears, PS Caller ID is visible, ringtone is playing. I don't pick up the phone.
5. After those 10 sec appointed in the settings are over screen switches off, the phone goes to standby and ringing stops. Pressing phone green button definitely does nothing. On the other phone (from which I was calling) sounds like no answer.
6. Funny thing. After waking up next time, phone continues to play the ringtone from the place where it stopped for about 1 sec. smiling smiley

Tried also to play with this effect. During next test of this behaviour I turned on the phone by power button after it automatically switched off. The ring goes on and the Caller ID is visible. Though sliding the slider neither answers nor rejects the call - just unlocks the phone. Pressing the phone green button brings up the dialer - doesn't answer the phone as well. Dialer shows the screen like I'm still talking to the person who last called me before these tests. Ring goes on. It stops only after I hang up on the phone from which I'm calling or press the red button on tested Omnia. This already looks like a general ROM issue, just triggered by PS.

Next time seems like the call should have started just at the moment when the phone had to go back off. Results: no ring at all, phone does not go off, shows empty black screen with a thin green line at the bottom. Neither buttons, nor screen work -> soft reset.

Since I didn't like the mentioned ROM too much I think I'll be flashing to something else during next few days, so I'll have a chance to test it with some other ROM.

Looks like PS is not receiving phone information from the OS. Maybe this ROM disables the system notifications engine (which should not). Will need to confirm it with a different Rom because it works on stock Roms and on most cooked Roms. This is also the first time we hear something like this.

OK, I've changed ROM to 28002 by Ryrzy.

Test 1 - seems like the ring came in at the same time as PS started to turn off the phone. Result - no ring, long unstoppable vibration, hard buttons don't respond (including power). Only soft reset helps.

All next tests - everything works fine, phone doesn't shut down during the ring.

Outcome: seems like an incompatibility of PS with either specific ROM or specific WM build (details above).
Test 1 here is a kind of a bug as well, but I know the odds to get the call at the very moment when the phone is turning off are extremely low, I managed to do this unintentionally and just by chance and couldn't reproduce this. Moreover I'm not sure how the phone without PS would react on this - probably in the same manner.
