If you press and hold the green phone button, it turns on the speaker. Are you holding the button down? I have had the same problem, but it has been because I couldn't get the phone to answer and held the button.

I'm out of ideas. It still sounds like you are having some sort of problem answering incoming calls.

just to verify it is not hardware....when you said wm5...was it stock?

If it was not...I would say....reload the stock official wm5 sprint rom to see if the problem continues and if it does well...I would be leaning to hardware.

The problem is the original one with the phone locking up during answering a call and all depends on which "Home Tab GUI"'s you are using and which programs have to be loaded or it has to look for when the phone rings especially stuff stored on the the mini-sd card instead of the phone will certainly cause lockups. There was a previous discussion about this and it boiled down to what items to install on the phone and what items to store on the mini sd card to avoid lock ups. In addition, running certain programs like "Wmwifirouter" for one and probably other phone "intensive" programs will cause a similar "lockup" situation if you don't reboot your phone after each usage of the programs. Your contact list may contribute to "lockups" as well and I have a list of over 400 that has to be compared to when the phone rings in case it is someone already in my list. My phone almost slows to a complete "crawl" everytime I have to reload my entire contacts list. Last if not least, the SCL or clock cycles (I think I got the terms right) might need to be adjusted in the phone to a shorter number to allow it to ring longer so you given a longer number of rings to answer, like 2nd or 3rd to avoid "lockups" when answering on the 1st ring as well....

Used to happen pretty random for me. With new 6.1 it has not happened yet. I kept thinking it was the dialer. Do a deep search. People have talked about it before here or at pdaphonehome.

sdruid just so were clear... the phone isn't "locking up". if you read my first post i say "when the phone is locked and i get a call i press the green phone button and it answers the phone in speaker phone mode". you are aware of the options to "lock" the phone, so you don't press something on accident? sorry for the confusion, hope yall didnt think the same thing...
