Secret Background Call??? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi guys. (My english isn't the best)
I have a very important question. Sometimes if i watch a YouTube Video in the YouTube App and want to clear my latest app history, an anonymus call from the dialer pops up with a red button to end the call (like a normal phone call). But there is no number on the screen. There is nothing. After a few Seconds, this screen closes automaticly. In the recent tab is no dialer app or anything else. Not even in the dialer history is an information about this secret call.
I'm not alone with this problem. Here is another Thread with the same problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/background-call-t3629232/page1
If anyone knows something about this, please let me know.

Sounds like a bug or malicious software. You should backup your phone then do method 2 here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3405700. Don't restore data yet and test, just update to latest. If the error persists it is a bug, if it doesn't it was probably malware.

Try to get a screenshot of it. Can't help if we don't know what it is.
But yeah it's probably malware.

Here is a screenshot. I don't know why this happened. I wiped my phone completely 4 days ago and this even comes up.

Serious bug when making calls

There is a serious bug with the built in phone app , I was wondering whether any of you are suffering this.
When you dial a number manually and hit the arrow to delete one of the digits, the phone goes berzerk, starts dialing loads of 0pw00's and locks up.
Same happens when scrolling through the contacts on the phone app (not the standard contacts app) and tapping the forward hardkey to change from say a Mobile number to a Home number for the listed contact
Nop just tried it all is good.
Not experienced that problem, but i have experienced another problem in the phone app.
when you select a contact in the phone app, and push either left or right on the scroll wheel to select the next available number in the contact, i.e. business, home, mobile2, etc, it will just keep scrolling until you reset the phone. really annoying if you want to select a number other than the default number for the contact.

Yes Yes! I just tested it and it happens.
The thing is, I managed to break out of the loop.. Not sure how, but I kinda repeatedly pressed all the HW buttons, etc
Now I can't reproduce it.. hmmmm

happens here also but only if i try changing the number with the "go right" button. "go left" works. interesting because it is the third ROM and in all 3 of them i had the same problem.
My problem go so worse that I could not press any hardware buttons in the phone app. Sadly I had to hard reset. Now the problem has disappeared, but I have yet to install any apps onto my device..
I have none of the above problems

Got the same problem on the call history but not all the time
French rom 1.37.406.1
Got another two annoying bugs:
- the clock that show minutes after minutes non stop (1Minute per second)
- a part of screen not updating on the SMS/MMS application
Okay the bug has returned sadly... After I spent hours reinstalling all of my apps.
The problem is not limited to the phone app, it happens when I tap any key on the SIP or press any hardware button - a bunch of text is pasted.
I created a txt document and tapped a button so I could copy all of the crap it pastes,
it is attached
This is driving me nuts and makes the phone unusable. Im certain this is the fault of software rather than hardware. Can anyone help?

To me it seems like one of the 3rd party apps that you installed is causing this. If it was me, after a hard reset I would test it after installing each app to find the guilty one.

Same here. But luckily I don't have to reset the phone. By pressing some buttons randomly I get it out of the loop. But it's annoying all the same! Doesn't happen every time though... that's quite strange. Don't know why it goes wrong, so I can't do anything about it.
i have the same problem!! hope the coming new rom can help!
Could be a third party app, I thought. So curiously I went through my installed apps list. First on the list was remote desktop mobile (the new version with the device mapping feature which doesnt actually work) - So, I uninstalled that and voila, the bug has disappeared.
Bad news is that I really need remote desktop. Perhaps I installed a bad CAB. Anyone have a decent cab that is proven to work?

[Q]Google talk layout on Galaxy S

Im having problems with Google Talk on my phone.
Normally, if u start a chat. and the other person is talking back, u should see the txt under your own txt. But i only see it as a balloon in my top-tray of the phone and do not see the txt written by the other person in the chat overview.
Anyone knows how to solve this?

My gf and I also have Galaxy S phones. Her device is running on I9000XXJFB firmware, mine is on I9000XWJM2. Shes having kinda like the same problem with GTalk: the screen is splitted to 2 sides (top&bottom), instead of how mine works (the good old conversation-look, when A-B-A-B persons messages follow each other).
Maybe its firmware-dependent? I did not find any option to change the layout in the settings menu.
Firmware is probably a good bet. If you want to hold off, have you tested to see what happens if you turn the setting balloon top-tray setting off? Would you see nothing at all? Or would it populate the message how it should.
You probably want the best of both worlds, it's worth a quick test if you have any reason to delay upgrading firmware.
disabling the notification button in the toptray would be a bummer anyway because then i wouldnt be notified if somebody is messaging me.
i downloaded a beta version of Hi GTalk from the market. which is working as it should work so i guess my problem isnt solved with Talk it self, but with installing an alternative app.
i think you'd still receive the sound notification. As long as you are going an alternative app route, i'd. consider uninstalling and reinstalling GTalk, it might just be corrupted.
good point. i will uninstall it and reinstall.
[edit] hehe i cant uninstall it. its "in the factoryrom" so i see. i dont see it at the installed programs list..?
gtalk still problem
Hi, I have the same problem with gtalk, also after upgrade to Froyo any ideas ?
solution
Solution:
Change time zone to the right location unbelievable, but it works !!! layout is dependent on internal time zone.
Good luck

Problem when someone calls me....

When someone calls me the caller ID screen pops up but then immediately it goes back to the lock screen. It stays there for a second then the caller ID screen pops back up. I can't find anything or any setting that would be causing this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Do you have an app that controls the number calling you? I think it's an app causing it.

No app like that does that that I know of. They odd thing is I just realized that it is only happening when certain people call me like my husband. I am thinking it is something in his contact info. I am going to try deleting his contact and recreating it from scratch.

Dialer problems

Hi, I have a strange problem with my p10.
When I call somebody, the dialer on the notification bar continuously disappears and appears, preventing me from accessing the call interface and hunging up the call, and when i get called the phone rings but i cant answer because the interface doesn't even appear. I already tried to use another dialer app, but the problem remains.
Thanks in advance!
Sorry if the grammar isn't perfect, but english is not my native language.

Dismiss incoming calls without rejecting call

Hi, I'm running stock Android 10 on my Note 9. One of the most annoying "features" is that incoming calls take up the whole screen with no possible means of dismissing, or switching to another app while its ringing. Often I don't want to send it to VM so I don't want to reject nor answer the call. I silence the ringer, I want to let it ring but I don't want to stare at the screen for the entire time its ringing. I have the show in pop up window enabled, but that only works if I have another app open. If a call just comes in when I don't have another app open, it obnoxiously takes over the phone with no options to do anything other than pressing either the red or green call buttons. Is there a way to change this behavior or can I install another dialer app and make it my default? I'm seriously amazed this is how it was designed to work!
If you're not in another app, why does it bother you?
If you mean when the phone is idle with screen off and a call comes in then I don't see a point in not being fullscreen.
When it is updated to ui 2.1 there might be a setting to change call display while using other apps/mini popup

Whether you see the point or not doesn't really matter, if I'm asking, what I'd like to know is can it be done or not? I don't understand these non informative responses. Why do you bother taking the time to respond only to say you don't see the point why I'm asking?
However, if you must fully understand before giving a more useful answer, I use Google voice and I need to see which calls come from Google voice as a forward versus direct calls to my cell phone number. The only way to differentiate is seeing if hangout is also ringing or not. Occasionally hang out starts up first in which case it works like a charm. But every time the phone app rings first, it locks the screen and I cannot navigate to the Hangouts app or even pull down the notification to see if Hangouts is even ringing.
That's only one reason. The other is if I don't want to send the call to voicemail, and I want to let it ring, I don't necessarily feel like staring at my phone for 30 seconds if I want to do something else on it. I've had many phones and this is the only one that is acting this way. It's dumb.

as I have already stated, I already have that option checked off but it only works as you said while in other apps. I question specifically was for times when I am not in other apps.

Thank you, that was much more helpful! I'm not sure if it's due to the difference of S10 vs Note 9, but the swiping down diagonally from your left to lower right doesn't do anything for me. Anyways, I guess we have exhausted all options and using the edge is probably the best one for me. Thanks again!

Glad it works. If you'd like to try the swipe from corner to make the window small but you can't right now try to install Good Lock and use the module MultiStar. Inside this module there's an option called "Pop-up view action" which enables (or forces or re-enables xd) the functionality to swipe from the top corner diagonally in order to make the currently open app's window smaller.
If Good Lock does not work where you live then use either FineLock or NiceLock from the play store and install the module from here manually: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...amsung-multistar-3-2-28-android-apk-download/
