Have a small grievance with the S3, I wonder if anyone can help me.
I would like to keep my phone in my pocket when driving and just let it connect to car using bluetooth but the ecreen always wakes up when I Make a call. Is there anyway I can stop the screen waking up on bluetooth connection?
Same thing when I plug in or unplug a charger, the screen wakes up can I stop that too?
Thanks,
Pete

any idea anyone thx.
You will need root access and decompiling tool to modified the framework. Is easier to learn to live with it or try AOSP rom.

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.

Am I the only one having problems with the Proximity Sensor on the Atrix? I can't seem to get it to kick in when on a call. I have already dial-toned a couple of people when talking on the phone. I have tried covering up the sensor by placing the palm of my hand over the to 1/2 of the phone and it never kicks in.
Can someone verify for me that it does work and not some software bug.
Thanks,
Ed
Did you ever find the problem? My proximity sensor has stopped working also.
i am having an issue with mine too. at first i thought it was an issue with the screen not coming back on, but now i realize that the proximity sensor is not turning off the screen at all and my screen is just turning off when the screen timeout value is reached.
my phone is rooted, i have used titanium backup to freeze some of the apps associated with blur, and i have installed the hack to use webtop mode. can others that have this issue confirm if they are running stock or modified software?

Any of you guys ever find a fix for this? I just noticed that mine is not working anymore either. It's rooted using aRoot but it was working for a while and now it doesn't anymore. I have another couple of days to exchange in store if I want to if it's a phone issue.
Crap, I'm having the same issue now too -- was working fine since I had it, but this occured just today, Day-2 of using 1.5.7 .... wonder if it's related ...

Reboot seems to fix this -- but annoying >_<
Is anyone that is having these issues using bluetooth? I have isolated mine to bluetooth and sent an issue report to Motorola.
same problem here but not using bluetooth
My wife's Atrix does the same thing. "dials or hangs up while in a call". She does not own a bluetooth headset and I have only connected a Motorola 305 one time to it. Reboot fixes the problem. Reboot seems to take forever when compared to my Dell Streak.

Hi I believe I traced the problem with the proximity sensor not working to Handcent SMS. On two separate Atrixes, as soon as I uninstalled Handcent and rebooted the phone the problem went away and stayed away. I have since installed GoSMS and now it happens just sometimes (usually after I install a new app) but a reboot after installing an app ususlly fixes it.
My Phone has a standard Telstra (Australia ROM) and is not unlocked or modified in any way.

If you are using unlocked bootloader or if u have unlocked the dim using a code then u will have to disable the In Pocket detection and then try sounds crazy but worked for me.

Similar issue
Just installed latest stable build onto my Atrix 4G, everything seemed fine last night, although I was using phone with bluetooth, this morning get a call, answer, screen goes dark, red proximity light comes on, and I can hear no sound, [later on the caller said he could hear me fine].
Phone would not wake up right off, and when it did it I still could not hear caller.
Been screwing around with settings all morning to no avail, discovered that the phone will only work with bluetooth device connected. without bluetooth the device goes dark, cannot wake up, have to hard reboot, with bluetooth and volume button awaken enabled, it performs normally, so possible connection to issues in post with proximity but with a bluetooth twist...

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:
http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=screen timeout
OK, guys need some help here please. I have a friends droid razr maxx that the screen is broken. We aren't going to be able to replace it for a while. I have the calls forwarded but I would like to forward the text messages. I know I have to install an app on the phone and configure it so my question: Is there an app that allows you manipulate the screen on the computer? Something so I can temporarily bypass the broken screen?, the phone still turns on and charges fine, its just the lcd panel that is broken. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

I have appradio unchained , gs4 and a pioneer appradio3. I am not completely helpless on a computer but I am far from your levels, so please be patient. I have been at this for about a month, lol and I have it all working except I cannot get the Bluetooth media connection to stay connected. it actually connects and works via Bluetooth but as soon as I hook up my mhl cable it disconnects the media connection through Bluetooth.
I bring this up because even though I have a mirrored image on the hu I cannot use the touch screen and I read somewhere I need the Bluetooth media connection to use the touch screen.
Any idea on how I could get this to work would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance
Any chance im missing some basic settings?

Just thought id add that maybe ive missed some basic setting in my gs4 that allows or disallows having a mhl cable and Bluetooth functioning at the same time? I just cant find any reason why it shuts down only the media side of my Bluetooth when I hook up the mhl cable?
Please let there be help for this!
any idea were else i could post?
Dos anyone here have any idea of another forum I could use to try find some help? I am running out of ideas.

Yes I did. appradio works fine. I just cant get appradio unchained to work. Maybe this is crazy but I am thinking I may need to completely reset the phone or install a new rom in order to get this to work.
Ill check out this other thread.

Ok well I have read already and that's were I downloaded appradio unchained. I went over the survey and didn't find anyone with the s4 running4.4.2 that had it working.
Dos anyone think installing a custom rom would fix the issue and if so which one would you recommend?
Anybody think the s5 might help?
