Hello,
Is there any way to get rid of that ******* hold button on freex10 . i have pressed it like numerous times and it wont take long before i really bang my head on the wall .
Can we replace the phone apk ( i dont know what it is really called , Dialer app?)
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Two things, is the proximity sensor on the phone working? IE, does the phone screen black out when u put it up to your face?? If NOT, that is the main issue.
Two, you can go into settings and change the layout of the dialer for left or right handed and move the hold button away from your face!
Hope this helps,
Chris

Its not there :S i am using beta 4 freex10.. is something missing here :S
Still should be there on 2.2 roms, phone settings, scroll to bottom of the page, left handed option?? Hmmmm, not sure what dialers are in the market, my wife used an ed hardy themed dialer, but that was on 2.1fw... might be an option?

I did check many a times ... i don't have this option . don't know why.. and think there is no way to over-ride the stock dialer app which shows ON-CALL . i am i wrong here ?( i wish i am )
and why is my right handed/left handed setting is missing ? "confused"
Haven't run z's rom since first beta, but on other aosp based 2.2's its there n on my 6.1.1cm rom I just looked it up..... hmmm, I am stumped... hit android market, should have a dialer option or two!!

i can CONFIRM that the settings ARE in FreeX10 Beta 4.
Go to your homescreens -->> press menu -->> settings -->> call settings -->> check left-hand mode (2nd last before "other call settings") -->> reboot
I have the same problem with the same rom. Yesterday I lost half of my story because of this . Changing the settings is not an option because I tend to switch sides a lot during a call. Might try another dialer.

You could try freezing the stock dialed in titanium..?

Menu -> Settings -> Call Settings -> Always use proximity!
Check that box and you are done.

I recently started having this problem where I keep getting 2 notifications for texts after using 2.1
I use handscent sms and turned off all notifications from the default messaging app but they both still notify me of a new text. Its annoying itll vibrate twice, ringer twice. plus I cant even get the default sms thing in the notification bar to go away unless I manually clear it. Never had this problem for the months I had this phone before the update.
Anyone come across this or know how to fix it?
(oh and I tried a search but the xda search engine is down, it's down like 50% of the time I try to use it, so please no harsh remarks about a repeat post if this is one)

Google always works.
google brought me right to this post. so at least the next guy with this problem will be able to fix it if anyone has an answer....? I cant be the first one with this stupid double notification.
seemingly, after disabling notifications, removing the messages shortcut from the homescreen does the trick, although i havn't tried this myself.
you wont loose the messaging its still in your APPS list.
just tried it and it does work

I had the problem for the longest time. I eventually found out that it was the SMS widget in Beautiful Widgets that was causing the problem, even though you hadn't activated it. Uninstall Beautiful Widgets and see if it works.

Simply open messaging and select setting by pressing menu key...
Disable notifications...!!!
Worked for me. ;-)

i had the same problem a while back too. and by disabling the notifications it still didn't work. what i ended up doing was clearing the SMS center number under network settings and retyping it in manually. worked like a charm

I have no idea how this happened but whenever I press the search key or the settings key (the 1st key that has 2 squares on it) it activates my camera.. this makes it VERY hard to change the settings of certain apps because it automatically closes the app I'm trying to configure and opens up my camera.. any idea how I can this back? I'm fairly new I've only had my phone for a couple of days.
I think so moisture has short circuited your phone's pcb.Take it to lg service centre(assuming u haven't installed any custom rom).

The wires from buttons are connected to pcb.
If you are using CyanogenMod you probably changed settings under CyanogenMod settings > Input. There is an application for key remapping, I can't remember the name right now but you can search in the Apps section in the general android forum or in the market. Otherwise it's thruly PCB. Before taking to service center, try flashing another ROM and/or wiping data.
look in /system/usr/keylayout/thunder_keypad.kl and replace CAMERA with MENU/SEARCH. It should work
My wife has an S2 with stock ROM. It's unlocked, on a T-Mobile UK SIM. The phone is about 6 months old. There is a problem with the phone screen going blank and not responding to any button or screen presses when dialling a call. After 10-20 secs, sometimes longer, the phone starts responding again.
The problem has been around for a few months, but has got alot more frequent in the last few weeks.
The phone is running XWKI4, Kernel 2.6.35.7.
Does anyone know what might be causing this, and whether there is a fix?
Save your data, do a full wipe, flash again using Odin.
You did UV?
This issue might be from how you UV. If you set the value to low, ur phone will not have enough power to run the tasks. So set value high on Set voltage tab might solve ur problem.
Just to confirm - this phone is completely out-of-the-box. It's not rooted, ROM'd, underclocked/overclocked or anything. I want it to stay that way as it's my wife's phone. I was just wondering if anyone else had these problems with a vanilla S2, and whether it may need to go back for a warranty repair?
Answer stays....
But you can try wiping using dial code first.
Save any pictures and videos on internal storage.
Re-flash what using ODIN? I didn't flash this phone in the first place. I don't want to put a custom ROM on this phone.
Who says custom ROM?
I try again, problem is you people ask but never do what told later...
Save you're picture/video
Using dialer dial *2767*3855#
It will wipe you're phone / factory reset.
If this don't help learn how to use Odin, get a stock ROM and flash using Odin.

Then which ROM should I flash? Also, if the ROM and kernel are the same as when it was purchased then why would re-flashing a ROM help?

So far you've suggested "flash again using Odin" and "try wiping using dial code first". It would really help if you could suggest something specific, and maybe leave out the cryptic comments?
How specific you want?
I even write the code which will do wiping for you.
And than I said if that fails learn how to use Odin to flash stock ROM.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry if I'm being dense, but I can't find and entry for the Phone apk in the app manager. There's "Phone Util" and "Dialer", but nothing else that looks like the phone app. Any ideas???
Are you using an alternative dialler? I had similar issues when I was using go dialler and go launcher. Uninstalled it and things were back to normal (for the most part). Check that first.
Step 2 easy way out is to reflash. You won't lose warranty etc if you do it right. Loads of tutorials available and check out samfirmware for the firmware you need to install.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Edit-have you also tried alternative diallers? Does the problem come up using them too?

, atifsh meant that you do a soft restart for your phone: no need to flash anything: just simple soft restart.

She is using the stock dialer. She hasn't tried an alternative dialer, mainly because we couldn't work out a way to change the phone shortcut on the Touchwiz dock menu. This doesn't prevent us from installing an alternative dialer of course, but it the dock can't be reconfigured she will always be launching the stock dialer by mistake!
Can anyone explain how to change the default dialer, and recommend a good alternative for the S2?
We did also try rebooting the phone - several times - but the problem remains.

You can change out any of the shortcuts in the dock.
Open the app drawer, hit menu, edit, drag the icon you want to replace off the dock and into the app drawer, then drag the icon you want to be in the dock from the app drawer into the dock.

Try Touchpal contacts / dialler. I really liked that one over go dialler or dw contacts. And then, as indicated replace in the dock.
But first you need to determine if the issue presents itself in other diallers as well.

-Does anyone know how to group apps? I'm starting to have problems finding an app I need because the screen is already full and there many apps that I rarely use and I wanted to group this apps into a separate folder.

For grouping apps I'm using Nova Prime launcher and you can create different launcher tabs for what ever you like.
I believe the camera tone issue is legally motivated, in some places it is illegal to de-activate the camera sound I believe so I think this is why you can't turn it off from the settings, if you flash a custom ROM there is usually an option to turn it off (with a warning) but on stock ROMS usually not.
Hope that helps,
R.
Which launcher do u use?

If its touchwiz,there os an option to create a folder in the homescreen and drawer, just long click choose add to home screen and select folder, for the drawer clock on the menu button when in drawer mode, it will give u an option ro hidde aps amd also create folders...for the camera sound, root it...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'm using touchwiz. I found out the option that you can create a folder in the homescreen but I was hoping to group the apps in the menu and not just hide them.
I also rooted my phone yesterday but I couldn't find anything to disable the camera tone. I guess l'm gonna have to install another launcher and see if sorts out.
Anyaway thanks,

I haven't (yet) rooted my phone, but I can take "shutter sound" away. You need to tick your volume rocker to minimize system sounds to silent. Then you can take pictures without shutter tone. Just remember put vol back up after.

Sorry what do you mean whith "volume rocker"? If you are refering to the volume key that didn't work out for me, I even turned off every sound in the settings=>sound but even that didn't work out .

Hmm maybe there really are localisation differences. Vol-key brings camera sounds off atleast in my device.
Is it just me or is it kind of annoying that because they left out the menu button from the phone they now need to show it at the bottom of the screen for apps that depend on it being part of the phone??
Kinda seems like the iPhone 4 to 5 issue where the app only takes up part of the screen and the bottom is left to show that stupid menu line...
Couldn't that have made it horizontal instead of vertiacal to take up less space and make it more appealing???
/rant off
With custom roms there may be a fix to that. I also think it's annoying but don't worry soon enough it will be fixed depending on what Rom you put on your one. Hope this helps

You have to have the app draw open and move it there and you should be good to go.

Ready for a bit of an annoyance? You have to do it from the App Drawer. Even more annoying? You have to move it out before you move another one in, otherwise you get a folder and you have to open the folder to remove the original (in other words it doesn't swap the icons, just creates a folder with both)..
Also - it is a bit annoying not having a menu button. Modaco's framework will allow you to long press back (or double press, don't know for sure) for menu. There's also work being done on a custom kernel which makes the HTC area on the capacitive button sensor another button for menu. There's also this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191626) which was done for another base (doesn't work on ours, changes some other things in Settings that shouldn't be changed and didn't seem to enable to setting - which leads me to believe ATT went further out of their way to remove it then some others), but I'm looking into the changes that were made to bring it to our base too. (unfortunately simply toggling the method always on didn't worked as I'd hoped, but suspected)
I've already shared a build.prop modified to remove the 3 dot menu bar, but this leaves you without a menu in some apps which is a little annoying. Hopefully I'll get long press back for menu figured out though for att's stock rom.. if it's uber important to you, most of the int'l roms already have this incorporated
Thanks for the information on how to remove the app from the bottom menu bar. I never use text messaging, so was quite annoyed by how it was always stuck in there. I put Viber in place of Text message app.
The lack of menu button and wasting more space on the screen for that function does annoy me too. They should have just make that HTC logo a soft button. I don't think they can add another button on HTC logo with a software though.
There's already a custom kernel available that has madebthe HTC logo a third button
