My Phone Won't Hang Up! Need Help with My Android

General Discussion
1

Introduction

I’ve been facing a really frustrating issue with my Android phone lately. No matter what I do, I just can’t seem to end a phone call! It’s like I’m trapped in an endless call loop. If anyone else has experienced this or knows some solutions, I’d love to hear from you.

Symptoms

Here’s what happens:

  • When I press the red hang-up button, the call doesn’t end.
  • I’ve tried using both the on-screen button and the physical power button but nothing works.
  • Sometimes the screen freezes while I’m on the call.
  • I can hear the other person, but they can’t hear me anymore.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken

I’ve tried a few things on my own:

  1. Restarted My Phone - A simple restart usually helps, but it didn’t this time.
  2. Cleared Cache - I went into the settings to clear the app cache for the dialer, but still no luck.
  3. Checked for Updates - My phone’s software is up-to-date, so that doesn’t seem to be the problem.
  4. Tried Safe Mode - Booting in Safe Mode helps in troubleshooting, but the problem persists even in safe mode.

Questions I Have

  • Is this a common issue with certain Android models?
  • Are there any specific settings I should check?
  • Could this be related to an app I downloaded recently?

Conclusion

I really hope to get this resolved soon because it’s incredibly annoying to stay on a call indefinitely! If you have any advice or suggestions, please share. Thanks in advance for your help!

Looking forward to your responses!

I totally understand your frustration! A lot of times, it can be a simple software glitch. Have you tried restarting your phone? It can work wonders!

Yes, restarting helps often, but if the issue persists, it might be a hardware problem. My friend had a similar issue and had to get his screen replaced!

4

In addition to a restart, check if any apps are misbehaving. Sometimes, third-party apps can cause conflicts. Uninstalling recent ones could help.

5

That’s a good point, @kingtimothy. I’ve seen issues arise from apps like call blockers. Maybe try disabling them temporarily?

6

Also, ensure that your software is up to date! Older versions can sometimes lead to quirky behaviors.

7

That’s true! I had a similar hang-up issue that was fixed after I updated my Android, so it’s worth checking.

8

If it’s a persistent problem, consider performing a factory reset. Just back up your data first! It’s a hassle but might be necessary.

9

I’ve heard that making sure your phone’s sensors are functioning properly can also help. Sometimes a faulty proximity sensor might cause issues!

10

Exactly! I’ve had a similar experience when my sensor was stuck, and it made my phone hang up during calls.

11

On a lighter note, if your phone is too stubborn, maybe it just wants more attention! :smile: But seriously, check those app conflicts and sensors.

Haha! That’s a funny way to look at it! But in all seriousness, following the suggestions here should help!

13

I understand how frustrating that can be! One thing to try is updating your software. Sometimes bugs can be fixed with an update.

14

Definitely! Also, have you tried resetting your network settings? That can help solve connectivity issues that may prevent the hang-up feature from working.

15

I had a similar problem and found that a rogue app was the culprit. Consider booting into safe mode to see if the issue persists without third-party apps running.

Great suggestion! Safe mode is definitely worth a try. Just hold down the power button and select ‘Safe Mode’ to test.

17

If all else fails, a factory reset may be the last resort. Be sure to back up your data first!

18

That’s a bit drastic! There are often simpler solutions that can work without wiping everything.

19

Does this happen with every call, or just specific contacts? I wonder if it could be linked to a particular app or if it’s hardware-related.

It’s mainly with outgoing calls. Maybe a specific app is glitching. That sounds plausible!
