Incoming call not displaying

DevilsDueRebellion

Sorry all, it seems although I only tested that change, the real reason it worked that day is because the profile was continually being active. It seems tied to some kind of keep alive on the profile. I'll make sure to repeat test if I see something work next time.

Fixed with completely full reflash. To avoid confusion in my case a factory reset did not work. A reflash of just Grapheneos did not work. It required me to first flash back to stock android and then flash to Grapheneos again completely.

The take away from this is to double check you have disabled OEM unlock after finishing installation. Especially if you obtained your phone from a third party that automatically installs Grapheneos.

I have two phones, one I setup myself which ran fine and the other custom setup and they did not disable OEM unlock. I assumed it was or that I checked it previously. Double check this option whatever your case.

I was under the impression that GOS strongly advises against buying phones from 3rd parties that install GOS themselves due to not only erroneous installation issues like this, but also due to major privacy and security concerns because that 3rd party can modify whatever they want about their "version" of GOS. IIRC, this sort of thing has been used as honey traps by law enforcement - they made a bogus company that sold "private" and "secure" phones that were actually extensively backdoored to allow law enforcement snooping.

A bug when using lockdown mode. Not fixed.

This just happened to me as well (I'm using the new 2023100800 release on a Pixal 6a phone).

Resetting my device to factory settings didn't help and apparently a completely full reflash doesn't work either (according to DevilsDueRebellion). Hope this will be fixed soon :(

Have a similar issue with a 6a and a 6 Pro. 20231105 on both. No sound, no vibration and no lit-up display. Call can only be seen in the drop-down menu on the main screen.

This happens most of the time, but sometimes it rings as it should...

Will check if turning off Prevent Ringing helps.

RautaKanke

RautaKanke No help from turning off Prevent Ringing.

RautaKanke

RautaKanke The phone rings OK (display also being turned on) on incoming calls in Owner Mode on the 6a. Prevent Ringing worked on the 6 Pro. This is bad voodoo. Does anyone have a clue?

Hello, I'm having the same problem described in this thread. I'm using the Pixel 6a. I've tried resetting the carrier settings and rebooting the device. Resetting the entire device does not seem to work. Is this problem resolved?

I have the same issue, but only if I install another Dialer app and disable the stock one, which sucks because the stock GrapheneOS dialer is ugly and it means you have to have 2 dialers in your launcher.

Any luck on solving this? Unfortunately happening to me for both the native app and installed apps. Interestingly, the phone calls do show up in another profile, so I'm wondering if there's a setting I've messed up in the main profile...

AlanRyan

CuriousGeorge

Nope. The stock dialer works fine to me, but nothing else.

rkeenan

CuriousGeorge

No I haven't resolved this issue. I've wiped the phone, reinstalled GOS, restored the service provider settings, nothing works. Takes me 3-5 minutes to receive a text and I rarely get the notification that I'm receiving a call. The phone is almost useless at this point. Honestly at this point, I'm ready to wipe the phone and use stock Google android.

I opened a github ticket with the developer, but he claims that this is not a GOS issue...

CuriousGeorge

AlanRyan

Urgh, I wish the stock dialer worked... I guess I should reflash then. Just a pain and a worry if I haven't backed up everything properly.

I can answer calls using my bluetooth headphone touch gestures at least in the meantime.

Is it possible to cite a source?

Detecting a tweaked version of GrapheneOS is as easy as rebooting once. If the boot hash matches, and no "corrupt OS" alert is displayed, either it's a legitimate GrapheneOS image or a very-well-resourced attacker has compromised Google's verified boot, or perhaps has a secret fab spitting out fake Google SoCs. Somebody that powerful could probably get your data via cheaper means.

GlytchMeister

Could've sworn I saw something to that effect on the GOS website, but I can't find it now. So I guess take what I say with many, many grains of salt.

rkeenan Takes me 3-5 minutes to receive a text and I rarely get the notification that I'm receiving a call.

Just FYI, this is not at all typical for GrapheneOS users, especially not with a blank phone right after a factory reset (i.e., using the stock dialer).

What happens if the SIM card from the GrapheneOS device is used in a different phone? What happens if a different SIM card is used in the GrapheneOS device? Which carrier is being used?

rkeenan but he claims that this is not a GOS issue...

It does sound like an AOSP issue. As far as I know, GrapheneOS hasn't changed any of the related code, so the only remaining source of the bug would be upstream AOSP.

rkeenan the developer

Just want to point out that there are multiple full time developers.

Only a small number of people report having this issue. This just leads me (personally, not speaking for any developers or the project here) to believe that it's some issue with the setup.

I have tried removing the SIM card and using it in an iPhone, and everything works great. I'm using T-Mobile and I called them asking them if it's OK if I use a custom Android ROM like GOS, and they said it shouldn't matter. I haven't tried another SIM card in my GOS device.

I can't imagine what I'm doing wrong in setting up the device. I bought this phone from the Google store, and everything worked great until about this year. The phone is almost useless now, as it does not indicate I get calls and it takes about 5 minutes to receive a text message.

I have reset the device and it does not resolve the issue. What else can I do to setup GOS properly?

rkeenan I haven't tried another SIM card in my GOS device.

If possible, that would be interesting data.

Though this involve further annoyance, you could try flashing the device back to Google's stock Pixel OS. If suddenly calls and texts start working well, with the same T-Mobile SIM card, that would be very interesting. If running Google's OS does not improve the situation, the device may have a hardware problem.

Something less disruptive you could try would be dropping by a T-Mobile store and asking them to give you a new SIM card. In theory that shouldn't make any difference, but sometimes instead it makes a dramatic difference.
