Phone stuck in speaker phone mode - Motorola Photon 4G

Somehow my phone is stuck in speaker phone mode as the default. Every time I make a call by default the speaker phone is on and I have to hit the speaker button. I cant for the life of me figure out how to change this option.

Battery pull? Wipe?

Check to make sure your kick stand is seated correctly. And that there is nothing stuck in there.

Do you have GoSMS installed? If so, update it. It was a known issue on previous version.

Looks like GoSMS was the culprit. Updated to latest version and problem resolved. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

Text messages being read out loud.. help

Help. So I was playing robo defense. Got a text and it automatically read it out loud.
Was using handcent. Deleted robo defense and handcent and its still reading them out loud with stock messaging app. Phone on vibrate or loud. Doesn't matter...
I get text it says out loud number and message..
Update: when someone sends me a text it no longer automatically pops up. I have to turn phone on for notification of text and it to be read out loud...
How do I make it stop?? Please. Thanks.

Try the accessibility menu in settings.
What am I looming for?
Says no accesibility apps.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
possibly a setting under 'voice input & output / text-to-speech settings'
I looked there. Don't really see any options. Is there a way to.turn it off completely?
It just turned on at random. Thinking bout putting it in some other language so no one understands it.
Holding off on factory reset. Until nexus comes out.

There's an app for that!
Did you install it?
This has got to be the most incriminating bug ever! If my texts got read aloud every time I got them, I would not be alive to post this here today... lol
I think you have some shady friend who downloaded an app on your phone to make this happen.

Defintiely did not install any app or let anyone install anything on my phone.
Again, it happened while I was playing robo defense, I received a text and it read it out loud while i was playing. It then started to read them no matter what.
Just did a factory reset. Hopefully that fixed it.

I was going to say, uninstall handcent. There is probably a feature in it that does that

I deleted handcent thinking that was the problem but it continued on stock messaging app. So I dunno.

lmao... I can imagine the messages from my drunk friends being read out loud!!! Hahahaha... Hell, texts from my sober friends would be bad enough.
Glad you got it fixed, but also glad you posted this thread. It really made me laugh.
Same here!
I have this same issue myself, it must be a bug. Luckily it always stays on vibrate. It started out of nowhere and I don't feel like doing a hard reset yet. I looked at every single possible option and none were selected. Hope the next MR update will fix it! HTC and VZW are normally very timely and effective at updating their phones so I'm not too worried. I must say, I don't have a single other bug in this phone which is impressive for such new hardware these days.

I remember this happening on my hd2 on winmo. I think voice cmd had accidentally been turned on.
I hope you weren't sexting.

GOSMS Problem

A buddy of mine has his AT&T Galaxy S2 here and we have been banging our heads together trying to figure out why we can't get the pop ups to work when the phone is locked.
He gets a notification tone, but actually has to unlock his screen to see the popup.
His settings are exactly the same as I have them on my International GS3 and on my One X.
He is running the latest official ICS from AT&T.
Is there some kind of bug with GoSMS and the AT&T GS2 ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Did you select the unlock phone setting under ADVANCED settings > Notifications?

Sure do. This one is a mystery. But, probably something simple we are missing. I've only set up GoSMS on about 300 phones so far. LOL.
Well you know more than me lol. I can t think of anything else. Unless there is a secondary lock screen app interfering with go sms, like widget locker.

No, just the regular Sammy lock screen.
He's on stock ics bloatware. Found the problem.

Shouldn't matter though. Never had a problem with any Samsung phone and GoSMS before.

I use gosms pro since forever. Why would you even want your popups to show on the lockscreen? Personally I enjoy my privacy plus my girlfriend can be a real *****

Maybe because some of us don't have anything to hide?
And we fixed the problem by re-installing a modified version of the stock firmware.

GoSMS is great but can be a pain. It's happened to me before, kinda goes on and off for me.
I tried handcent but I don't like that either. Grrr.

Recently I have unrooted my device and and used Kies to get on Stock 4.0.4...My problem is when I hold the power button down, I get no options at the power down menu..the phone just shuts off and I have to power back up to turn it on. Also, there is no lock screen on my device. Please help me.

[Q] Motorola Photon 4G volume issues

Ok, so my mom has a Photon and the volume (ringtones and notifications mostly) wont work when shes had it on silent for more then 30 minutes. Ive tried everything I can think of to fix the issue and nothing has changed. Oh yea and she is on her 3rd one and they have all had the same problem. If anyone has any thoughts Id love t hear them!
Thanks.
Strange... I never heard of this. Are you on the stock ROM?

Yes its on the stock rom. She wont let me root it because shes affraid it something will go wrong.
Does the sound come back once you've rebooted the phone? I mean, taking it out of silent should be enough to unsilence it

You would think that unsilencing it would be enough but for whatever reason in this case its not but yes the phone has to be rebooted every time in order or the volume to work again but sometimes that doesnt even work.
Odd... the only thing I can think of would be to restore it back to a stock SBF, but that might not do much since you've had the issue with 4 other phones. You shouldn't hurt it though

With that many devices it would seem it could be an app problem.

Yeah I agree. I would factory reset, not install any apps, test and see if the problem appears.

Notification light after wifi calling

Does anyone have the same annoying issue, after making a wifi call the notification light comes on as soon as you hang up.... It's rather annoying.
