Hmm, this is weird. Phone wakes up this morning with "wired microphone headset" notification on when I've never even plugged in said piece of kit. Now I can't hear any notifications or even calls because they're all "going" to the invisible headpiece.
Can't find anything in the settings to change this - have rebooted but still no change. Don't want to do a reset because I did one a couple of weeks ago to do the FW 2.63 upgrade.
Anyone else had this? Any ideas on a fix?
TIA

I have the same problem with you...the solution to my case is simple.plug the original headset gently in the jack,not full way,just a little,shake it a little bit,and when you see the microphone symbol in the screen disappear just unplug it.and here you go.if this method doesn't work in your case I heard of an app witch do the trick.works as a widget like the WiFi and Bluetooth widgets do.turn off microphone with headset - turn on.
I hope I helped.

I don't know what's happened in the last couple of days but the icon has removed itself and the sound is now back to normal. Haven't yet plugged the hp back in so I'll bear in mind what you say if it plays up again.

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
Mark.
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
I've just flashed the Lite'ning Rom v1.5 and all is fine apart from the screen time-out...
The screen doesn't automatically go into time-out/suspend/lock unless I press the power button . I've checked the setting and tried setting it to 15sec, 30sec etc, but it doesnt seem to be working?
Had anyone else come across this? Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Do you have Titanium Backup installed? I had this when Titanium had been running.
Reboot of the phone sorts it out, but it would happen again after the next scheduled Titanium Backup.
I am using often titanium and never had this issue.
Another possibility, have you plug headphones? Try remove them.
Same issue, no clue whats causing it. It doesnt happen all the time either, it is intermittent.
Me too... usually - it happens not really often - this is when I am arriving at my office after listening andro radio, I cut data connection and I am listening mp3 instead because data is not reachable inside the building. In that situation, I need to unplug my headphones and things go alright for the rest of day
Litening ROM is launching music play when headphones are plugged.
Mmmm...well for the past couple of days the screen time-out seems to be working?! I've not changed a thing!....don't think its anyting to do with headphones as I've not been listening to music or radio.
Did find another glitch the other evening when I woke to find my phone (which had been left on charge) very warm and not charging?? Quick reboot sorted it but another gremlin none the less!
second day and already have many problems:
1. ringtone turned off vibration only. still have ringtone with incoming calls
2. making calls screen turned off once near ear. moving away from ear doesn't turn on the screen. try any button nothing works. have to turn off power to cut
3. smart stay isn't smart. screen still turned black even with bright environment
Am I unluckily with a faulty phone or they are known bugs? thanks
Not to sure mate
I have had NONE! of the problems that you have had, although i have had a few problems e.g. the turn to mute media stopped working and things like that, all i had to do was a restore and it is fine now, i was speaking to the people at the carphone warhouse (phone shop in the uk) they said they have only had 1 return since launch and that was because the screen wasnt big enough and they went for the note, i have also always found that samsung is happy to help you if you have a problem with your phone just give them a ring.
1: you need to explain exactly what you changed.
2: It's supposed to go off near ear because uses proximity sensor to save battery turning screen off.
3: Smartstay just doesn't work as well as it should do.
This seems an overly obvious question. Does the watch have vibrate? I just got it two days ago, but no setting of vibrate anywhere seems to make it shake. I would think I'd have run across someone else saying something if it lacked the ability...
So, kinda wondering if mine is broken or if I totally missed that it isn't there.
Thanks

Mine vibrated yesterday and now it wont vibrate. If you scroll down from the top on your home screen, click the icon in the top right corner, that should bring up your wifi, airplane mode, gps, battery, etc icons. If you scroll down to audio profiles, there is one called meeting that has a picture of a phone vibrating. That should make calls and messages vibrate your phone. You can also manually turn them on because if you go to settings/device/audio profile/settings for general where you can select vibrate plus ring, and if you scroll down there is an option for vibrate on touch. Even though I have both these settings checked, and they used to work, they are no longer working. I tried a factory reset, and that didn't fix it. Now, when I power on my watch, I get a message that says headphones disconnected. It seemed to stop working after I started getting this message, not sure if that is normal or if it has anything to do with it. I will let you know if I figure out a way to get mine vibrating again, but for now it looks like mine could be broken. Can anyone else chime in on this if this has happened to you?

It does vibrate. But very few things use that function it seems. I was thinking about setting up a tasker script to vibrate on any notification.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get mine vibrating again? I've done the backup and restore option, is that how you do a proper factory reset, or is there another way I can try to get this thing to start working again?
update: Just flashed 1900_20140120 firmware using the excellent guide on here, and still no vibrate

Mine started working. Not sure why; I tried to reset to factory and despite following the directions and watching Loki's video, i managed to lock the watch up. Popped the battery, put it back together, wiped the device. Now it vibrates and that is good. Just wish i knew what I had did that fixed it.
Thanks all!
Jd
Mine does not vibrate either, never did.
I tried with the stock firmware, Loki's firmware, stock with enhanced security... no luck...
Thoughts?

Mine started vibrating again. I went to take the battery out, but couldn't get the screws off, so I gave up, when I rebooted, all the sudden vibrate worked again. Not sure if it was powering it on and off a few times, or shaking it around, try taking the battery out and putting it back in if you can, if not, just try turning it off and then on and maybe lightly shaking it around
Well,
It looks like a bad electrical contact, I've downloaded an app called "vibrater" that does just what it says, and it won't start the vibrator until I lightly tap the watch on it's side while the app is turning the vibrator on.
But it does not stick. I guess I will have to return the watch to have it fixed...
Until tonight, I thought the TrueSmart just didn't have a vibrator...
Vibration doesnt work
Hey, just received my Omate Trusmart! (Kickstarter edition)
Overall I am extremely happy with the watch, but there are a couple of major problems:
1. The vibration doesn't work, I have tried rebooting, factory restore etc but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know a fix to this or is it a hardware problem?
2. My screen has very faint dark spots in the center. Looks like a manufacturing defect.
Is it possible to return the watch to get a replacement? I havent opened the back cover yet.
Thanks.
Hello Everyone.
A recent problem, no new software, no updates, I've done a search, both here and on the internet, no solution I can find;
zte zmax, z970 metro pcs, 4.4.4 no root
Started a few days ago, when using bluetooth to make a call, the call goes through, bluetooth stays on, but the phone defaults to phone mic and speaker
I know bluetooth is still on as I can still end the call through bluetooth
To get the bluetooth re-engaged while on the call, I have to toggle in the phone applet, bluetooth icon to speaker on, and then back to bluetooth.
I think this started with a google update, but I did go back to the stock app and it didn't solve the problem
When I go into safe mode bluetooth works as it should.
I've uninstalled the only program that accesses bluetooth settings, (which was torque).
It just feels like this is a phone setting and not a glitch, I can hear the phone actually turn off the microphone. I've cleared the cache of all data, and I tried clearing the cache of bluetooth.
Hope someone can steer me in the right direction, thanks in advance
surprised how little support this forum now gives, I see other blue tooth problems without one post in response.
Anyway, I figured if my post was anything like most people with problems, I wouldn't get anyone offering ideas so I did a factory reset.
For anyone else, if you come up with a solution, go ahead and post for other peeps, this is a common problem around the internet but nobody has an answer yet
