Hi, I got my phone this morning and no doubt its a very good phone, but...
Is anyone else having trouble with the speech recognition. When I speak into it the mic graphic seems to indicate it's getting good pickup, but then the waveform it displays after is very flat and the recognition accuracy is very poor indeed.
Also I'm finding the capacitive buttons very unresponsive.
Any hints or tips?
I don't use speech recognition so can't help you there but I agree the capacitive buttons are a pain. I find a firmer press or a slight slide upwards works best. You do get more used to them the longer you use the phone but for me they are the biggest niggles on an otherwise fantastic device.
Remove the screen protector that came with the phone from the capacitive keys.
They should get way responsiver after that.
I was wondering as well if removing screen potector would increase capacitive buttons responsiveness. Anybody tested it already, or is changing screen protector in near future?
I use the voice recognition all the time. Do you have a weird accent?
For the buttons:
Have you tried just swiping them from the transparent bar up?
After I started doing that I had no issues, and they respond just fine. If you want to just do the touch method, aim for between the screen and the silver dots, but I find the swiping method easier and it's a no-fail way
The voice recognition:
Only used it a few times, and only on my X10, haven't tested it on the S yet.
I have 2 problems also with the xperia s, the battery life and the unresponsive capacitive buttons. Its really a hassle always thinking if it would register after hitting with your thumbs. Is there really a solution to this? Would the ICS upgrade be of help when it comes out?

No I used to use voice on both my samsung and my htc all the time with no problems.
Actually, this is the first phone that allows me to use speech recognition to call my wife, all other phones failed to do it, so I rated the mic as very good but didn'tell it to the wife...
I don't have any of the niggles with voice recognition or the capacitive button sensitivity (to me they are the same sensitivity as the one's on the galaxy s2 which I got used to). The problems I've experienced so far are -
- Video focus problems
- Audio playback clipping when using google navigation.
Hopefully these are bugs that will be ironed out soon via firmware.

Hello all: I really like the subdisplay feature of the HTC 7501, but it seems to be pretty fickle !!! I mean, it activates when I put the keyboard cover over (but only sometimes), and even when it activates, it will go away with the slightest motion of the keyboard.
Is this happening to all of you? I have searched in this forum, and there appear to be a few registry tweaks that modify the settings of the subdisplay, but do not solve the problem.
All I am trying to get the subdisplay to appear (and stay) as long as the keyboard cover is on. That way, I can see an incoming call's phone number and be able to answer it without removing the cover.
This shouldn't be too hard, should it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
ditto
happens to me too. bloody irritating (until i ditched the hardware keyboard)
Someone posted a Youtube video about this stuff. It was mentioned in a previous post in xda-developers but here is the link to the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3KH6LS4j7Y
I have the same problem, I have asked in other threads for a way to toggle this manually, can a developer help us out PLEASE?
Also I found the commands in the registry that turn it on or off, but it relies on the magnetic switch, and there isn't a registry setting to toggle the setting to another feature such as a button....
The sub display turns on depending on the location of the keyboard. It's kind of a trial and error thing to find the exact location for the keyboard. For my unit, I have to nudge the keyboard a tiny bit to the right hand side (with the sub on the bottom & facing me) for the sub display to activate. I wish they would have designed it so that the presence of a keyboard is enough to activate the sub display...
I tried to find how activate the subdisplay via software, without success.
Then I decided to remove the bottom bar (I used vijay utility) and I installed resco today plugin in the bottom part of the screen. Turning on the display I see the status with keyboard closed.
Sometime I see the subdisplay menu so I move the kyboard to see the resco status
is there any way to jsut turn off the sub display?
Just turn off the unit, or place the keyboard like you usually would and you will see contacts/calendar
Mine rarely works, cant belive they missed this in QA.
It is really anoying, wonder if the X7501 suffers from this as well.

...Moreover I found the subdisplay really usefull. It shows even the picture of the contact, using ATHENA with BT headset is great!
Many features, bur also no way to have it working with PIEFRAMA case (the one with transparent window to see the subdisplay). Infacts, because of the cover, the magnets are weaker and the alignment is even more critcal!
I think we will pay to have a button activated subdisplay
Just to have an idea of the functions it has (call status, battery, network, data connection, sound):
1) close the keyboard, activate it, and slide the volume slider
2) receive a call from a contact with picture
3) receive an sms or mms or e-mail (3 different way of displaying)
4) Is working in any VGA resolution
The best solution could be to use a button to activate/disactivate it when the keyboard is closed

Indeed, mine is a 7501, so this appears to be an ATHENA device issue, and not limited to the 7500.
Too bad, such a great idea and so poorly implemented!
its a magnetic switch in the top of the unit the magnet on the keyboard must latch the swith for it to activate..
I have NO issues with mines always works...
if you run the right side of the KB along the right side on the unit you will see the subdisplay activates
See Photos
x7501 here, and same problem. This is one of the top 5 problems with the Athena. At this point I just pretend this 'feature' doesnt exist; I rely on my Jabra to tell me who is calling.
I have a galaxy s2 running ICS (but the issue occurred) and I have a very odd issue with the keyboard that I am hoping someone could help me with. I have searched around but did not find anything already posted.
A short while ago, my screen broke and I had it replaced, good as new. Well almost. When ever I use the messaging app, or another type of app like that (Whats App for example), when you are composing a new message, and the textbox is shrunk down to one line at the bottom of the screen, there appears to be no input detected on that part of the screen, the send button (on the right hand side) works, and the other controls all work fine, just not the textbox.
So I figured that when the screen broke, it messed up that part of the screen, but other apps that have controls in that region (such as the camera app that has the photo button, or the lock screen with the emergency call button) all work 100%.
Its just textboxes at the bottom of the screen that do not seem to accept touch events. VERY odd.
Has anyone seen this before or know of a few tests/checks I can do. I am a new-ish user to Android.

This really sounds anoying but i know several issues quiet close to yours.
For instance sometimes on my sgs+ one side of the screen....in many cases the top side does not recognize any touching by me...
after loocking and afterwards aunlocking the phone everythings allright again...
i would suggest you to try to install a thirdparty keyboard from the play store.
if this doenstn work.....well maybee try another rom but i would send it to samsung to get a new phone...cus errors caused by wrong placed hardware are always comming back
fare well my friend
Hi all, i have a LG L7 II P714, and my WhatsApp is experiencing a weird problem... when someone sends me a audio note, when i click it to play, the screen goes black (in the chat part, but the green line in upper side stays with less brightness), i first thought it was a problem with my battery, or screen, but i found that other smartphone users are experiencing the same problem, here's a video i found showing the problem:
youtube.com/watch?v=bliQdxj-ezQ
My WhatsApp version is 2.11.152, is there a way i can solve this problem? Thanks for the attention!
I also have this issue. The screen is still barely visible after clicking a voice note when it goes dark. However I can just about make out movement if I scroll up and down the conversation almost like the brightness has been extremely turned down.
If I click back the screen returns to normal. Very strange!
On a Samsung Note 3 running Kitkat 4.4.2 and Whatsapp 2.11.186

I had this issue before until i found out it's not really a problem, it's only one thing i used to do wrong without noticing. When you play audio note on whatsapp don't put your hand or fingers on the sensor next to the front camera, because if you do the sensor will make the screen go off, it's just like when you make a phone call and you put your ears at the speakers the screen goes off by it self and actually the sensor is doing this so you don't press anything with your face while you on the phone. I don't know if this make any sense but i hope it helps lol
Its Because of the proximity sensor it routes the audio to the earpeice instead of the speaker

Thanks for clarifying,
however, I am holding my phone in my hand and, as I click the whatsapp play button, the screen immediatly goes dark.
Is there a way to disable this behaviour for whatsapp?
Thanks

I have a "naked" galaxy note 2
I also faced this problem on my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM g360h. There isn't a problem with your device. It's a whatsapp bug. While listening to an audio note, keep your hand or face or anything else away from your phone's proximity sensor, usually located aside of the front camera. This helps almost all the time... The proximity sensor is used to turn off your device's screen while making a call. Whatsapp believes that you're making a call while you're actually listening to an audio note, thus triggers the sensor to turn off your device's screen... just keep your hand away from the sensor while listening to an audio note.... it'll help

Thanks, but it does not help with my Galaxy Note 2
mmmhh i have the same problem. It has nothing to do with holding my hand somewhere. Could this be a bug? I had this problem afther flashing a custom rom. Everything worked fine, accept Whatsapp voice message. And i do use this a lot
Someone with an idea?
I have the same problem, even when my phone as nothing near the sensor, when i play the voice mensage he goes black
there are no xposed modules to this?
using Galaxy s5
I too have the same problem. I am not blocking the proximity sensor. I can't even take back the control of the device till the entire audio file plays completely.
A lot frustrating.
When I press the back button the voice comes back for a second and again nothing.
Please help.
Same problem here, Samsung Note 3, Note 5 and S7 Edge! The screen goes black, but that's not really the bad thing here.
Besides that, the audio usually stops too!
Had the same problem
Something that worked for me ,on my Sony Xperia z3 compact - there is an xposed module called Sensor Disabler. Change the setting of the proximity to remove sensor, reboot and it should work.
The solution for this kind of problem is. Go to 'Setting > Sounds & notification > Interruption' then untick 'events & reminder'. That's it....
Often while using the tablet, my touches and swipes are a little wild. I'm trying to click an icon but the screen registers a swipe. Is there a way to dial down the sensitivity? Anyone else noticed this?
NOOOOOOO do not tune down the sensitivity, we will get unresponsive/erratic crap that the N7.2 suffers from, its perfect where it is!
I hear you, from personal experience. But, what I'm talking about is not so pleasant either. Candidly, I'm hearing good things about the latest update so I'm optimistic that it will cure my ails vis a vis 'clicks' being registered as 'swipes'.
I have noticed the exact same thing. I think I found a way to fix taps being registered as swipes but I have yet to find a way to keep short swipes from being very erratic, long swipes. To fix the former, go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch & hold delay. The default is Short, I changed it to Medium. I also went to Settings > About tablet > Send feedback about this device and let them know about the screen sensitivity issue. I suggest you do the same. They need to hear from people that this is a problem so they get it resolved.
Hi guys, I just got the N7.1 last week, with Android 10 already on it (December update). Both are new for me, so I have no idea if these are Nokia or Android issues, but hopefully you can help me:
1) Ring volume is very loud! Even the lowest setting is still way louder than I've ever had before. Is this normal?
2) On Mario Kart Tour the sound is awful. Even on low volumes the game produces a loud crackling sound. Might be very game specific, but it's the only one I play atm
3) On the lock screen the upperleft corner of the statusbar shows the carrier. When you go to home screen this changes to clock. Quite often the carrier 'sticks' and also shows on home screen. I then have to go back and forth a bit to get the clock back.
4) Not always, but like 80% of the time, when I unlock the phone directly with my fingerprint, the home screen will show. This sounds quite normal, but I mean that it minimizes any app I was working with / had open while the lock went on. I've never had this behaviour before: it used to just go back to the app I was using.
5) Sometimes I get some serious lag while typing, until now I only notice this in message boxes on forums, like the one I'm typing in right now. During typing the letters stop appearing and everything seems to freeze. Then when I hide/lower the keyboard on my phone, the typed letters appear instantly and I can continue.
Cheers!
There are many bugs in the Android 10 update Nokia released. There are multiple topics about them in the Nokia 7.1 subforums. I know audio issues with games and other apps is one of them. As far as I can tell, Nokia has not acknowledged these bugs (even on their own forums) and there is no ETA on fixes.
I now see some reports of crackling sound, but do you guys have the other issues as well? There are a lot of annoying bugs!!
Yes!
All the other issues you face are common. The loud ring volume you acknowledged is common too and i too, face it and get disturbed by it too
The crackling sound you get in games is common too.
