[Q] Home button - no sound/haptic feedback - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

All of the other buttons work, keyboard works, but for whatever reason the home button does not vibrate or trigger the system sound effect when pressed. I did some reading and it looked like vibrant uses were having an issue like this back on 2.2 . Is this a normal thing for the i717 Note? I'm on Saurom 7.1 if that helps. How can I get this working? It's not a BIG deal, but it is very annoying.

[Q] Phone UI with hangup button?

Hi all,
I'm currently using openfire rom and I'm missing the big red hangup button when I'm talking to someone. I know of the ability to reassign the power button to hangup, and already did, but I found the red button the best solution. Actually, I don't really understand why they put all the useful buttons under a menu when you are actually on a call...
Can some external app fix this?
Thanks
Fabio
maybe you should try cyanogen ? it has a red button, and a few more
I hoped I could avoid using another rom, as I find myself really pleased with openfire.
Still, it can't hurt to try...
Anyone else has any suggestions?
I had the same problem.... It was so annoying that I changed my rom for cyanogen and now I can enjoy My new call screen

I see. How do you like CM? Especially comparing it to openfire?

[Q] Need to disable "Mute, On hold & Speaker" button during a call

PLEASE HELP!
I always have a problem with my phone X10i when i make some calls.
The problem is I pressed mute, speaker, END or on hold button (some of them) by accident (Pressed by my ear).
I checked my phone sensor already and it works fine. May be it happened from the way I held my phone.
But I just want to know how to get a rid of all those buttons from the screen during a call.
Is there anyway I can use some apps to hide all these buttons?
I believe that phone screen is built in the Rom. Thats probably modifying the Roms phone screen. You could probably do it if u know how to modify roms. I dont. I just mod phones with new firmware from xda.

Use to happen to me frequently,I enabled the proximity sensor and use left hand mode now.That solved it for me
U can use shakeawake tool. It works pretty fine. It has a cheek guard feature which detects when your face is touching the screen

Same here. I do put the calls on hold very often. :-(
I do this on my G2X all the time. My proximity sensor seems to be working properly. I just went to Settings > Call settings > Always Use Proximity and checked it. Apparently orientation always trumps proximity so we will see if this fixes my issue.
Problem SOlved
ON my HTC One I downloaded Call Screen Lock and I have enabled long press to unlock feature, I also enabled HTC One feature Power button ends call,
I often wonder how is HTC surviving without a law suit from someone with a ear damage. I had soo many times speaker suddenly shouting in my ear. Almost did hit the phone with anger onto the wall.
is there any app that disable the Mute hardkey shortcut (vol up + power) on Android? I accidentally hit it all the time when using volume buttons eg. screenshot

Wake with volume rocker - unrooted

Hi, my girlfriend just got this phone, and her being a girl she is not wanting me to root the phone cause she thinks its bad... lol. But she wants to be able to use the volume rocker to wake up the phone. I think it is a huge design flaw that you are supposed to use that tiny recessed button to wake your phone IMO anyways. I searched, but it doesn't look like it can be done without rooting... can it? I only found mods for rooted phones. Please let me know, she hates the phone if she has to keep using the little power button to wake.
Is there any other solution to waking the phone without the power button?
Thanks guys!!
I'm not 100% positive, but fairly certain that it is not possible. In order to make a change like this, you are going to need to change up some of the underlying framework which can only be done by installing a zip/script via recovery.
Widgetlocker in the android market. The option is called "easywake". The app does tons more than allow volume rocker wake up! Its one of those must have apps.. no root required.
+1 for WidgetLocker...Waking the phone via the volume buttons is the main reason I use the app. I can long press the search button to lock the screen etc...using the "Screen Off and Lock " app.

[Q] To vibrate or not to vibrate!

By default I leave my phone on silent but with vibrate on. However there are times, for example during school when I put my phone of the desk, where I need the vibration to not happen either.
This is my first smartphone -- my last phone, the wonderful LG Xenon, could do this easily.. It started at volume 7/7 and as I hit the side volume button, it went down to 6, 5, etc, to 1, to Silent + vibrate, to Silent w/o vibrate. On my Samsung Galaxy 2 I have to go in the settings to change the vibrate? Seems a little harsh..
Does anyone know of a way to change it to work as mentioned above? Is there a plug-in (not an actual app please) to make it as simple as that?
Thanks
I use CM9 and I have added the sound icon to my power widget bar (the shortcuts you see once you pull the notification bar). In settings I can choose how I want the sound button to cycle through different options - so you can set it to whatever you want including silence and vibrate only etc.)
We really need to know what ROM you're using. On AOKP it works just like you said, the buttons on the side work like this: High volume -> Low volume -> Vibrate -> Silent
It sounds like you may be running Stock (Factory) ROM. I haven't used that in forever but if that's what you're on, I would highly recommend moving to one of the wonderful ICS roms here in the forums.
I don't use vibrate mode, either silent or normal ringing.
I haven't rooted my phone yet. It seems like a lot of work/learning for too little of a payoff (not saying it doesnt open up a lot of features, just not a whole lot that I'D use). So i guess I'm running the stock/factory ROM, but I'm using GO Launcher
This works via the volume rocker in aokp. Hold volume - until its on vibrate. Press volume - again to turn off vibrate.

On my stock 2.3.4 w/Entropy's DD kernel, it's High volume -> Low Volume -> Vibrate. No silent mode with the buttons.
I put mine on vibrate when it's in my pocket.

That would be because he said it works via the volume rocker in AOKP ROM. Thats Android Open Kang Project. A ROM here in the development forums. Not stock. I'm not sure if there is an app to do what u want. But in either case, I highly suggest u root your phone (its very easy now adayz) and flash a custom ROM. I would suggest AOKP of course. The benefits far outweigh the risk my friend. Good luck and happy flashing.

Since you're using go launcher try checking out the Go Switch Widget. I know you said you'd prefer not to use any extra apps but its really a plugin for the launcher you already use. It has a button option for turning on the sound as well as a separate vibrate button. Its also customizable so you can choose just the vibrate button so the widget would be small and not take up much of your screen space.
Hope that's helps
With Stock ROM, in Settings/Sound/Vibration/ select"Only when not in silent mode". Will not vibrate when Silent selected with rocker. Not option for silent+vibrate in addition to silent only.

Ah!! Ive been using this widget already for individual brightness and battery widgets. In fact i even had a missing space in the row of 4 (I also have the flashlight widget), so this fits perfectly. Thanks so much
Problem solved!

[Q]Power button sensitivity setting?

Hey guys,
Anyone of you feeling the same as me and my s3?
Sort of all the time accidentally touch the power button and yeah as you know, the screen gone. Sometimes touch it a bit longer then expected, then yeah again a power menu come up. What you gonna do just need to escape from them and continue your work.
You can say that it not a big thing and I can say that it's so annoyed.
So back to the question. Any idea to configure the sensitivity of the button?
Like prevent the short press or setup the time out of the hold pressing?
Cheers,
