Is there anyway to prevent the screen going into lock mode when either making a call or receiving a call as this is very annoying when using the sat nav and then a call comes in and then locks the screen and turns it off whilst I am answering it. This of course then shuts off the sat nav ??
Any help appreciated.
Me too! Toshiba must think we are too inept to press the power button.....
I can remember when I got a call and answered on my bluetooth headset whilst trying to navigate
Come on people, there must be somebody that knows how to switch this off, hard to believe that more people dont suffer with this.
It has to be in the registry somewhere, I have had a look and found the settings but I will mess around with it tommorow and hopefully find the fix!
Now to stop the annoying shutter sound on full volume when taking pictures..... lol

Try this (taken from modaco, it worked on mine)
You can't mute the shutter sound , It sounds loud even in silent mode!!! Thats very indiscreet....
I've found two solutions:
1) (Obvious) To edit the file sonority.wav on \Windows
Or to modify the register
HKLM\System\Pictures\Camera\GeneralSetting\ShutterSound
Replace Current (0) for 2 This number links to a file Thunder.Wav that doesn't exist
Oooh the camera one works! I tried changing the volume key to 0 but that didn't work!
I did what you said with the Thunder.Wav and it worked brilliantly! Thank you!
Now screen lock, Press the power button before the annoying screen comes on. Does that stop it from locking?
If it doesn't, try this, when the screen pops up informing the screen is about to be locked, press the power button (basically beat it from turning it off) and press the power button to turn it back on. It seems to work some of the times on mine

Not working for me, the lock message just pops back up again..
incidently the Reg should work as well on the camera issue as thats what I done to get mine working, although as long as it has worked thats all that matters.
Anyone else assist with this issue ?

i think this just delays the lock screen by 22 secs or so... & that the lock screen returns every 22 sec interval thoughout the call...
did you ever find the reg setting for this? do you mind sharing whre you were looking inb the reg for the setting?
on htc i think it's mklm\drivers\builtin\ril\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
but tg01 does not have this....
cheers
I have tried looking in the registry and I havent been able to find anything!
There must be a way to stop it locking..... and the setting must be in the registry if it only locks after 22 seconds after pressing the power button!
It is very annoying, I just hope the new 6.5.3 rom when it gets released will not have this so called feature.
What were they thinking...

I have a Qtek device.
When looking at screen shots online, I see the phone application having 3 bottons on the top left side of the screen, right above the dialer pad. On my device, there is nothing, just the dialer pad. How can I get those buttons? from the screen shots, they look simply like the phone log being displayed inside the dialing pad applicaton and the buttons are simply the missed/received/dialed icon, but on my device, I can only see that in full screen mode?
And, of course, the main question, how to enable speaker phone mode?
Thank you!
Press and hold the green button when in a call. Toggles it on and off.
speakerphone in default mode

And I say more that if you turn off the phone and before that happens you press and hold the green button you will adjust the speakerphone in default mode so during outgoing and incoming calls your phone will be always in speakerphone mode.
Just a soft reset to disabled the default mode or press and hold the green button to disabled during a call.
Sorry for my english...
Hi.
Francesco
Has anybody got any experience with toggling the speaker phone programmatically?
I put up the same post on the MSDN pocketpc.developer news group, and received a reply that it's a feature of the manufacturer, and if they haven't published the API, I will not be able to do it.
But that was before I found this site! Does anybody know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance, Ben Clewett
If the speaker jack is screwed where it thinks that there is a speaker (external mic) attached it will do no good.
-
Even if you push the GREEN TALK since the system thinks you have a
Mic attached .....
you need to bypass or jump it or bend the pins as said before back...
Good Luck
1) If speakerphone on - disable with PUSH GREEN PHONE WHEN IN CALL
yes that works unless
2) system thinks speaker (external) is attached
so... you will hear from speaker and can use an hands free till fix
hope this helps
I am running tazz froyo, but this has been a problem for a while. When I receive a text message with sound, like one of those stupid forwards everyone gets it has no sound. I have searched the phone settings and cant find a way to disable or enable the sounds. does anyone else have this problem or know what might be causing it?
My second problem is how do you wake the phone up from sleep while on speaker phone without hanging up on the person. The only way that I have been able to do it is to press the end button which terminates the call.
thanks for the help
For the first one, I have no idea.
For the second one, I'm glad to share this as I found it out yesterday.
Press and hold the volume up button and then press the send button to wake the screen when you're on a call and the screen won't turn on.
PLEASE HELP!
I always have a problem with my phone X10i when i make some calls.
The problem is I pressed mute, speaker, END or on hold button (some of them) by accident (Pressed by my ear).
I checked my phone sensor already and it works fine. May be it happened from the way I held my phone.
But I just want to know how to get a rid of all those buttons from the screen during a call.
Is there anyway I can use some apps to hide all these buttons?
I believe that phone screen is built in the Rom. Thats probably modifying the Roms phone screen. You could probably do it if u know how to modify roms. I dont. I just mod phones with new firmware from xda.
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2 rendeiro2005 cyanogen rom 6.1.3 gingerbread v1
Use to happen to me frequently,I enabled the proximity sensor and use left hand mode now.That solved it for me
U can use shakeawake tool. It works pretty fine. It has a cheek guard feature which detects when your face is touching the screen
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
will try that with the left hand mode, sounds promising ^^
i hate it, one cannot have a call for more than 5minutes without pressing sthg. -.-
and most annoying my ear LOVES the End button ^^

Same here. I do put the calls on hold very often. :-(
I do this on my G2X all the time. My proximity sensor seems to be working properly. I just went to Settings > Call settings > Always Use Proximity and checked it. Apparently orientation always trumps proximity so we will see if this fixes my issue.
Problem SOlved
ON my HTC One I downloaded Call Screen Lock and I have enabled long press to unlock feature, I also enabled HTC One feature Power button ends call,
I often wonder how is HTC surviving without a law suit from someone with a ear damage. I had soo many times speaker suddenly shouting in my ear. Almost did hit the phone with anger onto the wall.
is there any app that disable the Mute hardkey shortcut (vol up + power) on Android? I accidentally hit it all the time when using volume buttons eg. screenshot
Is there a way to disable the menu option when long pressing the power button when the phone is in lock mode?
My phone is switching its self off sometimes while in my pocket.
I have tried widget locker but that does the same as the stock screen and still offers this menu while the phone is locked.
I'm using Redmi Note 8 pro Miui 12 Global Rom Android 10 i not found the option sec_key.kl
I can't answer your question directly other than to say you may be blaming the wrong thing - is it really possible that you can keep sustained preasure on the switch for about 8 seconds?
Is it possible that your phone may be rebooting / hanging / freezing in your pocket like mine and many others are?
Have a look here and here to start
Two seconds is enough in my stock lockscreen. So it's very much possible.
Stupid how the shutdown-window is accessible through the lockscreen. Takes away the whole function of this so called lockscreen..

I agree. For me, it's just under a second. I mean come on. Really?

But you then have to select "Power off" and then click "OK". Are you suggesting that's happening in your pocket?

Tapping or pressing thepower button will bring the swipe screen / lock screen back but this does not stitch off the phone!
From OFF, if I press and hold the power switch, the lock screen comes on, then goes off after 5 seconds. At this point, the phone has not shut down.
From OFF, if I hold the button down for about 9 seconds, it does shut down.
As I said, I don't think this is all that easy to do by accident - maybe even impossible! BTW, my phone is stock.
I'd still say it's the dreaded phantom rebooter

Never mind, you're right about that. I stand corrected. It takes a lot of effort to shut your phone off with the power button, so that can't be the reason OP's phone is shutting off.

Thanks very much for this
Just removed the wake option from the power button.
To answer a few other posts. The few times it has switched off it has only been while in my jacket pocket. Carrying my niece, seat belt on/off etc. I know it appears difficult to replicate but I have not had any other issues like mentioned in the other forums linked in post 2.
The reason I think its the power button is because I have taken my phone out of my pocket recently and noticed that the menu to shut down has been visable on the screen. I haven't had an issue of it turning off while on a desk etc which is why I think its the power button.
I may be wrong and if it carries on turning off I will look at other options but I do think its silly (how ever hard to replicate) that an option to access the shut down menu while in lock mode is stupid.
By removing the option to wake from the power button and setting widgetlocker to block homehelper there is no way to access the menu the power button had until the phone is unlocked. Which is how the lock screen should work regardless of if it solves my problem or not.
For SGS2 users, I used Root Explorer to edit:
Code:
/System/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl
I found the following line:
Code:
key 116 POWER WAKE
To disable the Power button from waking up your device, simple delete the word 'WAKE', save the file, and reboot.
Cheers to the others in the HD2 thread for the tip.
same problem with galaxy w

i have the same phantom restart problem......but i cant access the phone to use the root explorer ....wat should i do????
Hi all i made an app to avoid this, blocking power menu on lockscreen no need of root working on 2.2+ and you can set up a custom menu (power and reboot need root) so you should take a look and if you like please leave a 5 stars, or let me know any issues

Nice, this was exactly what I was looking for on my Nexus 4 running 4.3 and Cerberus. Unfortunately only the power off menu is disabled (it just flashes for a millisecond) but long pressing the power button still shuts off the phone...

yeah, i cant do anything without change whole rom :/ its just a workaround :/
Despite having no lock screen set, I cannot get the volume button long press to work to load the applications. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The option is enabled, and I've only disabled applications that deal with the voice recognition stuff from LG.
Edit: Go figure... After half an hour of research and trying different things it only works after I posted this question. I have no idea what I did differently.

I assume your talking about the screen off press and hold to launch camera or quick note trick? I've noticed a couple Times it hasn't worked right for me, but it usually does.
Make sure your screen is off, and press vol down and hold for a good couple seconds and it should launch the shortcut. Also make sure the proximity sensor isn't covered. Mine didn't work at all when it was covered, which is the same for the double tap to wake.
Btw, do you know how to change what the button launches? I like the camera but don't care for quick note, and didn't see a way to change it.

I have found they will not launch for me if I am in a Chromecast session, or playing some music with the screen off through the phone's speaker. I am assuming that was my problem since I can't replicate it under any other circumstances.
There is an option in the phone's menu system to turn it on or off, but it does not allow for the shortcut to be changed. We'll have to wait for custom ROMs to give us this feature.
