Have any of you seen this before:
phone set to vibrate
incoming call
slide to answer
the phone continues to vibrate...and doesn't stop
there is no response for audio contact
the only response is to turn off the phone (generally hold lock & home)
the call shows as missed once the phone boots again

It doesn't happen with any frequency, but wanted to check to see if I'm alone in experiencing this or if others have seen it and have a solution/reason for the failure.

Thanks!

I've seen the occasional oddity on my 3G, but nothing like what you've described. Nor have I had to reboot the phone to gain use of it again. Are you able to answer calls using the wired headset?

If you have a case, use it without it to see if things improve. If not, I'd do a factory restore, see if that clears it up.

@-q-: nope, i am unable to answer it at all until i reboot (or do anything with it other than stare at it).

@cold warrior: thanks, i amy try it without the case. i recently had to do a restore, but may try it again.
