Hmmm strange... When I am in a call, and i press the menu button I have 2 choices--> left contacts, right--writing a notion.
This is strange, no?

Also very curios? is there a system .prop that can be changeD?
Please do something, i must turn noise reduction off everytime. blq.
any idea how to turn off the N.C?
I noticed something totally strange today on my SGS2.
The noise reduction works great - leaving the phone next to my speaker (playing music) i couldn't hear any music on the other line!
BUT ... after i bought a protective phone cover (made of some hard rubber) i noticed that during a call, the one on the other line can hear it's voice with an echo. Removed the protective phone cover - problem gone. If i put the phone near this cover during a call - BANG, problem reappears.
Disabling noise reduction fixes the problem (even with the cover on the phone) for good, but it sucks that you have to disable it on each call.
There MUST be a way do disable NC for good ...

Hi I'm currently running the 6.1.3 cytogen modwith tweaks nd have run into an issue.
While talking to someone first off the sensor history sensitive I believe cause the screen is constantly turning on and off. This leads to a problem cause the mute button is in the upper corner right where my ear touches.
Needless to say as much as I enjoy my own voice its counterproductive when I accidentally put ppl on hold.
Is there some way to fix this. Either through adjusting the sensor settings or some how moving/removing the hold button
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
same problem thought it was my big ears!
Same thing happens with MIUI too
(and I am fairly certain that my ears are small!! )
I think it has to do with how custom ROMS handle the sensor. They are over-sensitive!

Is there a way to prevent the phone from making noise when using camera?
I am trying to delete the sound file instead set the phone to silent.
Currently I deleted two shutter sound at
system/media/audio/ui
but the phone would still beep when auto focusing using the cam button.
But there is no sound at all if I use the on screen button.
Does anyone know where does the beep come from?
Thank you.

Silentsnap is supposed to do this. Now you can take pictures of women without them knowing,
Also under alarm settings disable "alarm in silent mode"(not even sure if our phone has that but others do.
^^^^lol
But seriously the auto-focus beep is annoying as hell especially if you just have it open waiting to take a pic
Open the camera, tap on the settings icon (top one if streak is in landscape, one all the way on the right if in portrait). Scroll all the way to the bottom and under "Shutter Sound" select off.

if you would follow the steps and test it out for yourself to see what happens, you would notice that it does disable the focus beeping sound as well.

I have been looking at the Notification Vibration in a number of Apps and don't seem to be having any luck.
As an example on my Galaxy Tab I have sound ON and in the Twidroyd App I have it set to Vibrate on Alerts which it plays both a Notification sound AND vibrates strongly.
However, on the SGS II with the same settings in Twidroyd it will only play the sound but will not vibrate.
Note: Both phones main settings/sound settings/ vibrate is set to Always.
Has anyone else experienced no notification vibration?
EDITED:
Sorted ~ See Post 16.
It was the App Volume Ace which had turned off Vibration Notifications.
I have the same kind of problem.
Incoming calls, the phone sounds but no vibration. In settings, vibration is set to "Always".
Any idea please ?!?
Thanks
Well I am pleased someone finally decided to add a comment here, even if it were only to agree.
I find it difficult to accept that everyone is happy their SGS2 has no vibration notification.
Come on members... voice your thoughts.
Only with your input can we then investigate further.
Hey, I found something interesting that brings the vibration to my incoming calls. Maybe it's gonna help you.
1. in Settings/Sound make sure you set "Always" to Vibration
2. Put a cross to Haptic feedback then set your intensity
3. Desactivate Haptic feedback
I tried to call my SGS2 and the vibration came with the ringtone.
Last step, I re-activated the Haptic feedback and vibration is still working with the ringtone.
PS : hope you understood my english...

What ROM version are you using?
Haven't tried this yet but if it does work well done but obviously there is an error on the phone in that it should work by default yet takes this weird method to activate it.
Now what about other vibration alerts..... any takers?
I'm using the latest XWKE7 with a root SGS2
The others vibration alerts seems to work good.

Interesting...... So this may be an issue with stock roms.
I have decided to wait until Gingerbread 2.3.4 before updating as apart from the dreaded no vibration notifications everything else seems great.
I'd like to hear from any other members please.... if only to say their vibration notifications work/don't work and what rom they are on... Thanks.
Mine rings and vibrates on incoming call. Vibrate is set to always and I've not noticed any issues.
Maybe its the ringtone that you're using?
Notifications seem fine too e.g. on whatsapp.
Oh and I'm on stock.

What about other notifications.
I.e. on my Tab whenever I receive a tweet I hear the notification and it vibrates.
The SGS2 only plays the audio notification.
Yeh other notifications from apps where I've set to vibrate seem fine.
I actually downloaded Twydroid to test it out - set notifications for tweets, mentions and DMs and set to vibrate but all I got was the sound. Weird.

You say other Apps though work.
Can you tell me of one so that I can instal and try it out to see if I can get the vibration to work.

I have the XDA App installed and that doesn't play vibration alerts.
Re Facebbok it won't let me sign in so will have to try that again.
However what concerns me is you say XDA works for you yet fire me nothing.... no vibration.
Need to look more into XDA when I get out of theatre.
Just about to go in for a short surgery.
Catch you later have to prep.
Thanks.
Sorted....... and it was unbelievably simple (and stupid of me not to notice).
The 'culprit' (although I share blame in not noticing) was the App 'Volume Ace' which I had already installed some time ago.
Last night after theatre I checked thoroughly all the Apps that should be sending a vibration notification and there was nothing untoward that showed any sign the Apps would hit a problem with a vibration alert.
Next step was to look again at my settings..... nothing wrong there.
Finally I then started to methodically go through each App which had some form of control to Sound.
It was not long before I found when you brought up the window of Volume Ace there was something I had previously missed.
Take a look at the first screen picture in the link I have highlighted above and if you look 'ever so' closely at the second volume control, to the right is a 'vibration' icon.
This icon was not lit up. So I tapped on the icon, this changed it's appearance to bright orange and closed the window down.
As I receive tweets every couple of minutes or so it was not long before Twydroid sent me an audio notification AND yes.... a vibration one as well.
So, all sorted.
Thank you to all those who have participated. I now am going to find a quiet room to hide my face of shame.
Ha no worries, glad you got it sorted and hope all went ok with your op, cheers

Yes, it's now performing just as it should and I still can not believe how simple it were in the end. Very unusual for me to miss something like this.
It would be easy for me to put it down to the 22 operations I have performed this past week and say they have kept me busy but that would only be an excuse.
Not to be picky, but looking at the thread title looks like it was the app (Volume Ace) misbehavior.
You can change the same setting in the stock/built in settings, the app will just reflect that change.
Hey everybody!
I just joined so this is my first post and I am a iPhone 3GS convert. I am finding that the turn over silence feature only works if the phone already starts ringing. It does not silence future calls/notifications. This seems totally useless as it can also be silenced by pressing one of the volume buttons.
I would like to silence all calls and notifications by turning the phone face down and have it revert to normal mode when turning it over or picking it up, etc...
Is this possible? This feature is weak and useless and I cannot believe this is how it was implemented. Is my phone defective?
Thanks in advance!
This feature works when a incoming call is coming
when phone is on a flat surface with this motion effect activated,you will not get anysound or vibrations or you will get sound or vibration for just one second or even less
there is bug in this feature to be sorted out i think
Thanks for your response!
For me it doesn't silence anything. The phone rings and notifies as if it was in normal mode. There is no change in the behavior and I am positive the feature is enabled in the settings > motion menu. If it is a bug I hope they fix it because this a useful feature for me.
Are there any apps that might provide this functionality?

Welcome to XDA!
Thank you. I have submitted a request to have it moved.
Bump........
I'm afraid to say it but what you're asking for is not the intention of the feature as it is. They designed the motion control in this scenario for you to quickly grab your phone and turn it up side down to silence the ring without having to press a button, etc. I agree that's it's not all that great but I can see the benefit for some people.
Your phone is not defective, it just doesn't work the way you thought it would.
And just to add a little logic to the scenario... the feature is called 'motion' so it only works when motion occurs. If the phone is resting upside down, that's not the same thing.
It's called Motion Activation. You hear a phone call comes in, flip it over, the ring silenced. If you keep the phone upside down, there is no motion to activate anything and it won't silence anything. It only works for incoming calls and you need to flip the phone at the right time. Useless feature, as are all other Motion Activation features listed there.
Brilliant! So does this include notifications from text messages too? They must last at least a second or two. If I react quickly I could possibly silence around half of the notification! Useless! If this is truly the intended functionality then that is rediculous to me. Not to mention useless.
The point is putting the phone into a mode that emits no noise; not reacting to a noise that anyone that can fog a mirror can hear and then "flipping my phone over to silence it." If I flip the phone over then I don't want it to make noise. If the phone doesn't have that feature then fine. I find it a useful feature that is missing or poorly described/implemented at best.
"Logic to the situation?" Please. There is no logic in implementing a turn over silence feature the way you have described.

LoL. If you read the other Motion features Samsung implemented here, one of them is zoom in and out. The procedure is quite laughable and in the end, it is ten times easier to just pinch zoom on the screen. I don't know why Samsung even waste time on this.
Try these apps
Have you tried Flip4Silence or Flip-Silent? Both are free apps and seem to have decent reviews.
Thanks! I will definitely give those apps a try. I appreciate the response.

Hi guys,
After many hours of searching around the web i found a solution for this problem.
You just need to calibrate you phone, to do this follow the procedure:
1) Place your phone on the flat surface
2) Go to Settings > Display > Horizontal Calibration > and hit Calibrate
3) Go to Settings > Display > Gyro sensor calibration > and hit Calibrate
Now try the turn over feature
1) Go to settings > Motion > enable Turn Over
under tutorial > Turn over > Try > OK > once it starts ringing flip your phone
This should work fine!!
Cheers!!

I've used it since froyo and its really easy to set it up to silence phone on face down.
I must be dense. If you want the phone to be quiet when sitting why not just put it into Silent mode?

The feature is not there for a long term "silent mode", it is there to quickly silence the phone if it rings during a conversation, conference call, meeting, etc. I can it being useful for many people.

On your phone go and push the phone icon and the dial/touch pad will be than at the bottom of the screen you have the 3 small touch horizontal lines that's your menu option, than after you touch that while in the phone dial pad you will see Settings and maybe 2-3 options down it asks something like where to exit to after phone hangs up so let me know if you find it ok

i think youre referring to the setting, 'return to dialer after call'. i checked and unchecked that option and it does nothing. it goes back to the lockscreen. but i noticed something interesting. when i call a busy number and i dont have the phone to my ear (screen is on), the call returns to the dialer. but when i have it to my ear (screen is off), then take it off my ear (screen is lit again), thats when it goes to lockscreen. theres got to be a way to edit a file to fix this sh'it, like, disable the lockscreen when the phone is on your ear (screen is lit).

You should go through a recording of one run, say about 20mins or so while at same time performing acts that you feel made the issues and than when you go back to look at the record just look for 'error' areas in usually red color than take a screen shot of the highlighted error lines than post the screen shot and maybe we or others can look into it
