Cannot pickup call: black screen, with few flashes of proper screen sometimes
asked 2014-01-08 01:48:01 +0200
Had this situation several times by now:
- Phone is in the pocket (not sure if it matters, but maybe some button is pressed without me knowing it)
- Somebody calls me, I hear the call
- I take phone out of the pocket, screen is black, phone is still ringing
- Double-tap doesn't help, power button press doesn't help
- In panic I try tapping and power button more and sometimes proper calling screen is shown for half a second and then it's black again
- I think phone continues ringing even after the call if over already
- I reboot (via long power button press) and see a missed call
Anybody else had something similar?
Noticed the same issue every time, when the call partner ends the call while I have the phone on my ear. The screen is black and the phone does not respond to any input (screen, lockbutton).
