Calling Whatsapp users! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello there!
Has anyone been able to get the motion activated "turn over"function to work with your whatsapp notifications?
I am on Villainrom 2.4.2, ninpo kernel.
Please help. Thanks!

It only works in apps that support it.
It also won't work well anyway because the notification tone is just a single play through (and is pretty short), so by the time you reach to turn it over, the tone would have already finished playing. This turn over feature works only once each time you turn it over. If you leave the phone facing down, it does not continue muting.

I remember it working in the past with infusion/litening rom. Can't remember which.

[Q] Ringer not ringing sometimes

I searched the forum but could not find this. Please bear with me!
While I get incoming calls in my X10i, the phone sometimes rings and sometimes doesn't. This results in lot of missed calls. Very weirdly, if the phone rings in the first call, in the next call, it might not, or vice versa. This happens without any specific trend. Any help, please?
Secondly, can anyone please tell how to check the proximity sensor? I somehow feel mine is not working, as previously, the phone would light up on taking out of cover. Now it doesn't.
Any help any one?

Then can it be that some downloaded app is creating this problem? I dont have any volume controller app, but can some downloaded games or other app doing this to the phone?
So the ringer problem is not mine alone. Can a software update fix this?
are you using a task killer???? it seems to be the root of most evils... suggest switching any autokilling off if you are.

Yes I am using ATK. But its being used for a long time, and the problem surfaced just 5/6 days back. Still what do you say, I uninstall it and see? This problem is giving me quite a headache, as I am missing many important calls.
Not getting much help.
I uninstalled atk, a few games, but the problem persists. So what, a software update. Someone pls help, as am missing out lot of important calls.

[Q] [REQ] App to compensate for lack of LED notification light?

Hi guys
Im finding it a bit of a pain that theres no LED light on an otherwise awesome phone. If my phone is in another room or on silent I have to keep picking it up and unlocking the screen to see if Ive missed any calls or texts.
What I propose is an app that will make the phone beep and or vibrate at a certain timed interval whenever you have missed calls or texts.
My mum's old Motorolla RAZR does this (lol) so I dont see why this option hasnt been included on the SII.
I cant find any mention of an existing app that does this, but if there is one, please accept my apologies and point me in the right direction.
Cheers
Skola
i use MineMessagevibrator on the market

Trouble while making outgoing calls. HELP!!

While on an outgoing call, I can hear my contacts, but my contacts cannot hear me... Anyone else has/had this problem and know of a solution? Btw, I'm on the 351 build and rooted. Thanks in advance!

What steps have you taken to troubleshoot this?
Tried with the speakerphone on?
Tried with a wired headset?
Tried with a bluetooth headset?
Did you recently install any apps?
When did this start?
This started a few months ago (even with stock), but I always thought It had something to do with "Total Recall" (a phone recorder app)... but after finally uninstalling Total Recall and clearing cache, the problem continued. I also tried everything u mentioned and everything works perfectly. It's only when I use just the phone its self to make calls I run into this prob.

Install StreakMod Recovery and make a nandroid backup.
Reset your phone using the reset in the settings under Privacy. Test the phone. If it works resinstall your apps one by one to check. If you still have the same problem after a reset with no apps installed I would suspect a hardware problem.
Will give it a shot. Thanks.

Do you ever just bump the mute button with your cheek? This is a good possibility if they can't hear you halfway through the conversation (sometimes my head falls off the light sensor causing the screen to turn on).
You know what?... that's a good possibility. Thanks

Yes I have the same problem. I traded my HTc desire for dell streak stock rom not rooted. 5 inch is great, really great. But at leat one in seven calls I can hear the other person, but that person not me.
The lock screen is also unresponsive, same 1 out of 7, I just can't answer, because the slider won't slide.
Sometimes the screen is also unresponsive in general, especially the lower part, I have to change to landscape mode and then hit the kill all apps button, after wich the screen works fine again.
First I thought these were problems caused by the stock music player, but now I dunno anymore. (music quality is much better than on the desire by the way)
also bluetooth calling works really bad. People always complain about the echo of their voice. I tried 3 differents headsets. Bluetooth music works great though.
Maybe this streak is just bad model. No wonder The guy wanted to trade.
I faced the same issue on my Streak5. For almost 3 weeks i was chasing this issue and was absoultely fed-up. Actually i had recently changed the sim card for my telephone operator, and i thought that was the issue, so i fought with the telecom operator to get it changed but no difference. Then i suspected some software is screwing up, so i went through all the installed software and jotted down every software that had some audio/mic relation. Finally in the list i most suspected a call recorder software called "Call Recorder Free" by Clever Mobile and BOOM ! I uninstalled it and that was the culprit indeed ! My phone is working perfectly fine now ! Please beware of this or any such software.
you guys could try to use the olleh 407 ROM or use the custom ROM where usually custom ROM is the best alternative for streak...

[Q] My Atrix will stops vibrating randomly !?

So randomly I'll be using my phone, and then all vibrations won't work. Haptic Feedback doesn't work, not even the vibration alert for texts but when i hit back of the phone or quick shake or lock the phone and wait for about 2 min it will works fine again !!?
Same anybody ?

ICS ROM with Voice Command?

Do any of the ICS ROMs available on XDA have Voice Command that will work with a BT headset?
Or has anyone found an app that enables you to voice dial from a BT headset? I've scoured the forums and haven't found a solution that works for my AT&T Galaxy S2.
I'm running Serendipity and it doesn't have it. I've also tried Vlingo and Cyberon without success. Shocking that Google wouldn't carry voice command over from GB!!
I just found a vlingo apk that is really the Samsung Voice Command from GB ported to ICS. It works well.
I've attached it for those interested.
I think that was something samsung messed up, not sure though

Follow up for Voice Command
I have been testing the Voice Command apk I attached in my previous post and it works well except for one fairly big problem. Voice Command doesn't work when my phone's screen is off. As soon as I turn on the screen by pressing the Power button (but with the lockscreen still on), VC works fine.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately I don't have any ideas...I'm in the same boat. I'm using the samsung VC app (pulled from sammy ICS - I posted it up for someone, somewhere a while ago) on Task/Ktoons AOKP. It works perfectly fine launching from the BT headset button if the screen is on, but it won't wake the screen - I haven't been able to get it to work on any custom ROM actually...
Hmmm...now that you brought this up, I wonder if it's possible to integrate this into a tasker profile to make the BT headset button wake the screen, then launch VC?
Thanks for getting me thinking...guess I have an idea after all...

Glad I could get your gray matter moving!
Which BT headset are you using (I just bought the Blueant Q2)? I was hoping that it wasn't just my headset, so I wouldn't have to return it.
Let me know if you can figure it out.

Well, digging around in tasker, it appears it does not have a Bluetooth button trigger. Or if it does, I'm looking in the wrong place for it. I haven't actually tried, but it appears to be possible to force the phone either to screen off awake state, or full screen on awake upon bt connection. This would at least automate the process upon initial Bluetooth connection followed by an immediate call. Doesn't fix the problem of a user wanting to initiate a call on a stable idle connection though... gonna keep digging a little more.
I'm using an LG headset I got for 6 bucks from newegg 2 years ago. More reliable and better battery life by far than the 2 previous 70 dollar motorolas...

I didn't really grasp what you are talking about, but I'll take your word for it.
BTW, I did a search on appbrain for 'screen timeout' as I thought there might be something useful to you. Here's the link:
