Incoming phone calls no longer show on screen - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

When my phone rings, the only way for me to answer is to pull down from the top of the phone and then click to answer or decline. It no longer shows on full screen.
I've checked all the full screen app settings and pretty much everywhere that I can think of.
The call also shows on my LG Watch Urbane, so I can answer it there...
Any thoughts on where this setting is?

Figured it out. Upon phone call, I could see the pop-up when I slide the screen down from the top. Then slowly swipe to the left or right revealing the setup gear. Tap it.
Phone calls were set to "muted". I changed it to show all notifications and voila! Now it is working again.

Prximity Sensor problem....

Hi, I have a huge problem. Every time I make a call, preferably my voicemail, it asks me to press a number in the keypad.
Okay, that's fine. But the only problem is the screen blacks out immediately when the call is made and I cannot choose any of the options. I'm still in the call, although it will repeat the options for about a minute and just end the call.
I can't end the call manually or use the keypad. Tried pressing the lock button, the search, the menu, and Back button. Nothing seems to work.
Is there anything I can do about this? Because this is really becoming a hinderance.
Hi the proximity sensor should brighten the display up the moment you take it away from your ear, if it dosent prpbably there is a problem with it and you need to check it out with either the provider or HTC if you can.
normally to end call you click on the notification on top of the phone.
It is kinda annoying there is no physical button to end calls but i guess thats touchscreens for you
Probabily you use one case
that cover the proximty sensor
I don't use any case or screen protiction... maybe I should to replace it...Thanks..

I had the same problem. Hard reset solved it. Also solved a problem I had connecting with intermittent connections to Wifi. I think a bum app may have caused the problems.
Starting to happen again, not like last time though. Now it's intermitent and seem to recover when the other end hangs up. May try to get a replacement phone this time.
From what I've seen around the internet this is an OS issue... And it happens to me intermittently as well, though my lock button brightens the display... It seems to have something to do with the screen timeout and the lock screen enabling itself...
Mine had the same issue.
I would pull it away from my face, nothing.
Laid it down flat, nothing
Occasionally it would flash.
I had to return it, no problems since.
The sensor must have been loose and slid behind the open area of the glass.
If you can still, get a replacement
My replacement is in the mail. I have found that if I shake or tap the phone it will flicker and come back during a call. I think the sensor is faulty.

Receiving calls

Has anyone else had issue when receiving call notification will pop-up and can't click on it. Have to Swipe notification. Then pull drop down notification panel then click on answer or dismiss. Tried changing interruptions in notification settings still won't work having [emoji36]
I haven't found that specifically, but I have found that the new nexus devices (both 6 and 9) seem to be a bit odd in processing touches. Like when you unlock it, it takes a moment before it will actually respond to a touch. As an experiment, make a point of ensuring that there is no part of *anything* in contact with the screen glass while you are pressing that answer button. Not a case, not any part of your hand.

Multiple issues using Paranoid

I'm having quite a few issues with my ROM'd Z phone using Paranoid. I've recently updated to the latest version as soon as I was alerted.
1. The lock screen freezes, or rather becomes limited in responsiveness. I use the swipe up to unlock. When I swipe up, the clock/notifications just bounces and eventually the screen goes dark, then off. Sometimes I can reset using the power menu, but often the screen is totally unresponsive so I have to do a hard reset. On occasion I have to reset multiple times consecutively because it locks up immediately after boot... until its finally usable again. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7OGcalUJSgHblZob2Q2eHNkLU0
2. The phone gets hot in my pocket. When I notice this, often it has unlocked, turned on GPS, turned on the LED, taken photos and opened apps, or a combination of things. Sometimes even made a phone call, either to a contact or a recent from the log.
3. Recently I noticed it randomly ghost selecting right in front of me. I was unable to unlock and had to hard reset the phone.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7OGcalUJSgHVmJhQ0FOUDdLQkE
4. I am not getting SMS alerts from Optus 321 telling me I have messages from when the phone was off, or out of service range. Often I won't know till I randomly check days later, or when I miss a call (while on another call or in service range) and they leave a message.
5. Sound drops in and out from the other party. They can always hear me. Randomly, on some calls. I can have 3 good conversations, then the next I have to call back multiple times before I get enough up time.
5a. When I'm making a call, I may not even hear the outgoing ringing tone.
6. On any new call, the the volume on my Bluetooth headset is usually down about half way. I click the Vol+ and it immediately jumps to full, the volume bar already being at full.
7. When it rings, it often takes a second or more (after the ring tone has started) for the screen to turn on.
On suggestion by a friend, I disabled a lot of notifications, but the lock screen still won't unlock even when the only thing showing is the clock.
I guess there is problems with the the phone hardware, the ROM or incompatibilities with it and an APP.
Is there some diagnostics, or an app that I can run that will log what is going on and I can have someone look at those logs for me?
You should ask in Paranoid Support Thread

Thankyou. I could not find it.
edit: That thread is closed. There is a link at the end for a 'new home', but that thread is under Xperia ZL. Is the ZL considered the same phone?
I'm really sorry.
i gave you a wrong link. Shame on me.

Blank Screen when calling

I think I had a system update recently? since then when I make phone calls, as soon as it starts to dial the screen goes blank. This means I can't hang up, if I am trying to check my voice mail I can't see / operate the touch pad dial buttons, if I have a menu selection - I don't have a keypad onscreen to type any selections?
I can see the ongoing call status at the top of the screen after going through screen off, screen on cycles, but trying to access that part of the system takes me straight back to a blank screen?
I've had the phone for several months, its behaved fine - please, has something gone wrong, is there a setting I need to change?
Regards, Clayton
What you describe is the typical malfunctioning of front sensor. Check if it is covered by the screen protector or try any GPlay program that can check sensors on your phone.

Calls not showing

I've noticed that my Note 9 will not sure an incoming call on the screen. If one comes in, it will show in the notification bar, but will not wake up screen and show on main screen. Same thing with text message notifications, does not wake screen or give a notification in pull down. I have to go to messages app to check those.
Anyone with similar issues? Anyone know where to look for any setting changes?

Nevermind. Figured it out. Somehow the Do Not Disturb was turned on to a "Until I turn it off" setting. I had it on a schedule to turn on at night and off in the morning so, it did not even cross my mind to check it until recently. So, if anyone has this, make sure to check that out.
