Has anyone every written an application to turn on the speaker phone on the SX56 phone? Normally you have to hold the top left button for 3 seconds to turn on the Speaker phone. Can an app be written to do it?
I'd like to make a shortcut to the app, then I'd be able to assign a simple button push (rather than having to hold it down) to turn the speaker on.
Anyone??
HUH???
Nobody? Common, this can't be that difficult an issue!!! Don't make me install VB and the Pocekt PC Mobile compiler stuff....
PLEASE!!!!
:shock:
search in one of my threads i found an answer to keep it on all the time
Found it, thanks!! Not exactly what I want, but at least it works somewhat...

I did search, but didn't find anything...
I'd like to disable the messaging button and PIE button on my phone when I've got an active call. Whenever I'm on a call, and hold the phone to my ear, I end up pressing one or both buttons. It gets really tiring having to constantly close the messaging app, or PIE every time I get off the phone.
So, is there a way to disable those buttons with a call active?
Thanks

It drives me nuts, anyone else have this problem?
No, you're not the only one!

Happens to me too - but usually it only happens when I jam the phone between my head and shoulder (hands-free mode )....don't think it's related to ear size....
Probably the only solution is to stick a BT headset in your ear and always answer the phone with that.....or press 'OK' a couple of times when you end the call!
Not much help, but at least now you know you're not alone

True...
And, I think it might only happen when I have the phone between my ear and shoulder too... which ends up being like all the time.
Problem with the bluetooth thing, is two fold
1) I've not found one that is loud enough
2) I don't like wearing it all the time, so put it down... when the phone rings, and I pickup the bluetooth, and try to answer with it, the phone has stopped ringing by the time the phone and earpiece are paired...

...ain't that just the way
One thing I've just thought of, though I've not tried it yet....
If your phone is "locked" (from the today screen plugin) and a call comes in, you get the popup to show who's calling etc. - do the messaging and PIE buttons still operate in those circumstances? If not, you might just have found yourself a solution
Mark.
<locks phone>
Dunno, but not a bad thought.
I'll give that a shot, thanks
Hi All,
I come from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105745
I have followed instructions and installed the CWM-recovery-3.2.0.0-r3-x10mini-Edify in my X10 mini (non-pro) by manually copying system/bin/* and system/xbin/* files (overwriting) to my /system (remounted as rw).
After that, I turned off the device and then turned it on (simple powercycle). After turning on I was repeatedly pressing the "back" button (and not the volume down as done for other devices). The amazing result is that phone booted up apparently in a normal way, except that no hard button is working! I am talking about power button and the menu button.
I have realized that I don't have the star screwdriver at hand, and tomorrow I am leaving for a 1 week trip. When you talk about bad timing
I am of course waiting for battery to die...but meanwhile, can you help me with this (relatively) big problem for me?
Thanks!
If I attach the USB cable I can see it's still alive, and also alarms are ringing as usual! How weird that buttons don't work..has somebody ever experienced this? Can't find same cases online..
When i got this device i thought how stupid this was and hoped after flashing a custom rom maybe it would eliminate this stupid feature of this device. It seems HTC thinks it's a good idea to turn the screen ON after ending a phone call, WTF?
At work i use my bluetooth headset all day with my phone in my pocket. I will take my phone out, dial the number i want to speak to, press power to turn screen off, put device in pocket and have my conversation. I end the phone conversation with my bluetooth headset and guess what? The dang phone's screen turns on while it is in my pocket. I guess the light sensor has zero effect here! So now since this happens and my device has a timeout of 2min i set before screen turns off my phone accidentally "butt dials" people and without me knowing i'm now calling people randomly while i'm working!
Another case. I have my phone in my car's cupholder, i use bluetooth to make a call with my car, it initiates the call to my phone and again it turns the screen ON to make the call. WHY? I never pressed power on my device to turn the screen on to make a call. So again i press the power button to turn screen off while in call. I hang up the call when i'm done via the bluetooth in my car and again the device turns the screen back ON once i disconnect the call via bluetooth.
I just don't understand the logic behind this? Is this some HTC thing or all android? Coming from iPhone 4 never had this issue so was a first for me with this device. Just don't see the reason or logic for this?
Anyway to prevent this or stop this from happening? I mean isn't that the point of bluetooth to not need to touch your device thus no need for the screen to be turned on????
+1
It seems that this is not a HTC thing because I have the same behavior on my Samsung device. Same problem as well with pocket dialing during/after a call. Really annoying. I had the same thing on my old HTC Nexus One running Froyo, so this is not a new bug. Back then I tried a lot of different apps, and none helped. I even flashed CyanogenMod on it and it didn't change anything.
I really hope someone has run across a fix whether it's an app, a patch or a whole new ROM, because pulling my phone out of my pocket to turn the screen back off TWICE for every call I make or receive is getting to be a pain.
I can't believe this behavior is voluntary on the part of the designers. If it is, please someone explain why.
You can use TASKER(automation app at Play Store ) to Get you screen off after a call or while connected to the bluetooth ..

Just downloaded but no idea how to use this thing. Not very saavy with this type of stuff. How can I use tasker to turn the screen off when ending a call ONLY while connected to a Bluetooth headset? This is my biggie since it's in my pocket.
Got it to work
Ok, I downloaded Tasker and I'm impressed.
Here's how I got this to work:
1: Create new profile using STATE, then go to NET, then hit BLUETOOTH CONNECTED. Here you can specify if you want only a specific device or any Bluetooth.
2: Set new task: SET plsLock to ON
3: Set exit task: SET plsLock to OFF
4: Create new profile using EVENT, then go to PHONE, and hit PHONE OFFHOOK.
5: Set new task as: SCREEN, SYSTEM LOCK
6: Hit IF, and specify if plsLock is ON
7: Create new profile using EVENT, then go to PHONE, and hit PHONE IDLE.
8: Set new task as: SCREEN, SYSTEM LOCK
9: Hit IF, and specify if plsLock is ON.
You're done.
Since I had the same problem with the wired headset, I also created a profile with HARDWARE, HEADSET that sets the variable plsLock to ON and exit task sets it back to OFF. You can name the variable anything you want and it will still work.
If anyone has a better/simpler way of programming this, please share. I just started using this program and am still trying to wrap my head around the way this is structured.
As this stands, it works... But it's still a patch on something that should be an option in Android.
Let me know what you think.
Ok thank you I'll give it a try. Yeah could never understand why my device thinks it's a good idea to turn screen back on after ending a call via Bluetooth or not? I receive call, I then press power button to turn screen off bit continue my call, the caller hangs up, boom my screen turns on displaying the phone dialer until my time out settings turn screen off. Dumbest feature I swear. Hello phone I pressed power offbutton to turn screen off, get the hint and keep screen off until I press power button and want it back on again. No sense...
Deeznuts, did you manage to get it working with tasker ? I guess it is the only possible way to get to your objective. Learning Tasker will give a new dimension to your phone. More over I will try to make a profile for your and get working .

No unfortunately not. I would greatly appreciate that! I would think it's a simple task but honestly I'm very handicapped when it's comes to stuff like this.
Basically a string for tasker that would simply just do this:
When my device is connected to a Bluetooth device whether it be my car kit, headset, stereo headset, etc. and a phone call ends where by me pressing the End Call on screen button, by ending call with car kit, headset, etc, doesn't matter but will make the screen turn off. That's it.
When connected via Bluetooth, a phone call ends, screen turns off.
Now here's a kicker and not sure if this part would be harder. I'm connected via Bluetooth headset or device, I have screen on to manually make a phone call, then while on the call I press the power button to turn screen off while on call and put device in my pocket. Now when the call eventually ends I would want the screen to stay off.
I will read into the link you provided and mess with it somewhere. Thank you for your time and help.
Correct me if I am wrong , you mean to say that no matter what you want your screen to stay off after a call ...

Correct BUT only when connected to a Bluetooth device. My gripe is on a Bluetooth call, place a call manually then talk on headset, car kit, etc. I press power button to turn screen off then put phone back in pocket, when call ends the phone turns screen back on for some reason. Never understood this?
Story was a bit messy, so i rewrited it.
Here's the deal.
I'm using headset and bluetooth car audio very often. I'm quite sure that when i bought the phone, i was able to wake the phone up during the call, using the power button, without the call being disconnected.
Now here's the problem, when i make a call, and want to check anythingo on the screen, i have to wake the device up, that needs power button to be pressed, and that immidiately disconnects the call. Any of you guys have a clue what could go wrong or maybe i need to see some settings to fix it?
I thought it only happens on bluetooth but yesterday i found out it happens also when using headset.
thx in advance
Hmm, if you are during a phone call, your phone should be awake?
I just know that you can reject a call by pressing the power button, that's an android feature.
No, it shouldn't be awake.
I'm not talking about rejecting a call either.
I've already solved the problem. It was an option in accessibility options, called "end of connection".

So, at times I'm riding my bike and want to make a phone call. So at a red light I make the call, turn off the screen and put the phone in my pocket. While riding, i can speak to the other person with my headphones+mic.
That controller has a button near the mic, it usually starts/pauses/resumes music. It can also be used to answer a call.
What I need now is for it to end a call when pressed. It is currently putting the call on hold when pressed. I have an Android 4.4.2 (Lolipop didn't impress me) Micromax Unite 2 (A106/8GB). Rooted.
Any advice? Maybe something that doesn't require root, so it's simpler. Like a setting I missed in the basic Android settings page.
EDIT: Uhh, I searched for my phone and used the create new thread button. I don't know how it came into the uhh, "xda-developers~>Android Development and Hacking~>Miscellaneous Android Development". I don't see an option to try moving it into a more suitable section. Any admins help?
