Hello,
Old XDA'er coming back for some help
Basically I was playing around with the skins on my Desire while listening to music. Thought I'd use the Aluminium one for a while for a change and now the music widget/ shortcut doesn't show. Obviously tried changing it back but that doesn't solve the problem either. Nor does Turing it off and back on again. This wasn't bothering me until I realized that incoming calls weren't showing either! I can answer, but Caller ID does not show.
Not willing to root at the moment, too much hustle and not that bothered about changing UI or performance.
Anyone else had this problem? Thanks for any replies in advance

sometime you need a restart once you do a skin change. i have had this problem of some stuff acting funny on my hd2 android after changing skins. a reboot fixes all that does not show..
Tried turning it off and on just now. No result did a search on how to fully restart the phone and it worked! (Hold Power Button till it restarts)
Thank you. Surprised the solution was that easy. Thread can be closed now.

That post fixed my problem, as well as fixed the problem which the data connection turns off after a call.
Hey guys, sup?
I have a huge problem with my TELUS Touch Pro. Great phone, but just one problem...
Whenever somebody calls me, I can't answer the phone. The onscreen "Answer" button doesn't work, the Talk button doesn't work, pressing the Select button doesn't work...pressing the headphone button does, but sometimes my headphones are in my pocket, or sometimes they're not with me at all!
The only way I can answer them is by ignoring the call, and calling them back. It sucks big time.
Anybody have a solution? And no, I'm not hard-resetting my phone. It started doing this for my first call, so I'm pretty sure it's not my fault.
HEEAAALLLPPP!!!
Is this the stock ROM?
Do you have BT on and connected?
Mine started doing that yesterday. I did a hard reset and so far everythings back to normal. Still do not know what it was tho
I just had my TP replaced and the new one did the same thing, I did not notice until a few days later as I use a bluetooth headset and pushing the answer key on the headset worked. I had to RTN the device to make it work properly. Have not had a problem since. it has been aabout a week and a half.
Sometimes I've noticed this happens when my memory is tied up elsewhere, ie media player or something. Try soft resetting your phone every morning that might help clear it up.
I have had this happen with me on my Titan which I recently traded in for my Touch Pro, and also on my Touch Pro. I noticed it coincided with installing iGo8 GPS software on both. A hard reset was the only way I found to fix it. Uninstalling the software did not do the trick. I could be wrong about the software title I am blaming, but I have everything reloaded on my phone except that, and all is well. I do have a Slide To Answer incoming call screen now with the MightyRom 4.9.5 rom installed, maybe this is a work around, don't know for sure. If anyone else has more feedback, let me know. I would love to find a fix for it so I can use my GPS software.
Mine started doing this crap last night. I reinstalled the S2A cab and just let it go.
I am starting to think it might just be the telus network being a boatload of suck. Mine does it with the stock rom without any programs loaded from time to time. I am thinking it must be the tower failing to acknowledge that you want to answer the call, so the phone keeps ringing becuase it sees there is an incoming call but the tower ignores that you are trying to answer it. This is just my guess based on what I have read about CDMA, I wonder if any GSM users have the same issue.....
Do any of you have Advanced Configuration installed? This is what caused this problem for mine and my brother's TP. Uninstalling didn't fix it. Had to hard reset.
Yes, this is a known issue with Advanced Config, perhaps some other apps as well. Try this fix.

I can tell you that this will more than likely fix this for you. Mine was doing the same thing, applied this, done and shut! Good luck.
OMG OMG OMG thanks!!!! That also fixed the problem where it ended the data connection after the call.
Sorry I took so long, I THOUGHT I was subscribed to the thread...
Thanks again!
Hi all
I have got a new sony x10 mini pro, and have an odd issue that seems a design floor.
When on a call my ear constantly presses the mute button and mutes people.
any one know of a way to remove the mute button on the interface or another app that can be used for in call functions.
any advice would be much apreiciated.
thank you
Mat
Place rthe phone closer to the ear so that the proximity sensor disables rthe screen

i have d same issue n keep muting calls
I have posted the same issue here
I use hands free but it is still easy to press with the side of your hand if you are holding the phone...
I notice on my phone the touch still works outside the screen border. and it sometimes goes on speaker or mute
+1
Really need a fix for this. Mostly the mute button is the problem, but i have had the loudspeaker activated a few times too.
+1
This is really annoying.

I really nead a solution for this.
I was also annoyed with this, so I made an app that launches it self after accepting the call to avoid the issue. The app can be found at my site on paxanima DOT net (can't post URLs yet, apparently)
I just made it, so not too much real life testing, but seems to do the trick.

Good work on that, thats a start.
But can someone just remove the goddamn mute button? UHHH!
It's too complicated for me. I think i installed like 4-5 apps but still couldnt get to the point where you can get the apk from the phone.
True, this is very annoying. SE has received plenty of complaints so I hope they're working on a solution. I am wondering if installing any of the new custom roms would sort out the issue for me since waiting for SE updates is a nightmare.
My problems started when I first updated to 2.1 where it happened in more than half of calls and got better with the last update and now happens only occasionally.
i never had that problem but i think that costum rom will help for these prob.
sory for bad english
Yeah, you have to be careful. Hold your phone from the back to avoid touching the front sides and slowly approach it to your head (the proximity sensor is at the top left of the phone). I'm pretty sure I look like a retard while doing so but hey, better than having the person on the other end saying "hello? is there anybody here? hello?".
Same here
This issue has also been annoying me from the beginning, and on every release of the SE standard ROMS. I don't understand why some people have the issue and others don't. Maybe it has something to do with the shape of one's ears??
No seriously, when i do some tests, like calling to my voicemail and then holding the phone in my hand, on some occasions the phone goes black after covering the proximity sensor with my finger, and sometimes the phone does not react at all when covering the sensor. So maybe some processes that are running prevent the proximity sensor from working correctly.
Would it be possible to adjust the semcphone.apk to have no mute button at all? I never use this option anyway.
Or is it only possible to change the shape and color of the icons/images.
As far as I know. When ever you made a call or answering call, the screen will turn off, right after you place the phone on your ear... So there's should be no pproblem answering or making call and suddenly pressed the mute button with own ear. Im using the same phone, and making almost 20 to 30 calls a day. And never even once encounter the problem as stated.

I get this problem once in awhile too. I have to bring the phone to my ear slowly.
can't we just replace the dailer APK with something from HTC or something?
I also hate the current contact list, theres no smart search.
Yes you can. But it has to be ported with some mod for it to work.

Hey Everyone..im new here
I recently bought a GalaxyS2, and noticed something..now, just thought maybe someone to confirm this with me.
After installing an app..for example, SKYPE....
Whenever I reboot the phone, during the media scanning process, The icon tray at the bottom gets replaced by these apps I downloaded for a couple seconds during the boot up (scanning).
Is this normal? Like i mentioned..the phone icon in the lower tray, gets replaced with Skype..and after the scanning of the media is complete..it reverts back to the phone icon.
This normally happens with all 3 icons, except for the applications icon...so basically during the startup of the phone, all first 3 icons, are replaced with the 3 other app icons for a couple seconds.
Sorry for the repetition here...just thought id try make myself clear
Any feedback MUCH appreciated..
PEACE from South Africa!
R
"BUMP" Any advice much appreicated...
I have a similar issue. Not sure if its normal.
Will keep track of this thread
Hey Tooth..
Dont think you going to get an answer here...no-one seems to answers or know anything about this.
Cheers
Its normal for a few seconds .
Its not a problem .

Hey JJE...
Thanks so much for the reply..im assuming urs does the same?
Thanks once again..take care

Hi, Sorry if this has been asked, i didn't see anything in the forums specific to this, but i have a random sonar type noise that goes off every so often, probably about 10-15 times a day in fact, annoying at night, it has no notifications or any indication what it could be.
It started when i updated to 4.0.4 with I9300XXLG8 and the Siyah -s3-v1.5rc1 kernel. I had installed and tried the AOSP jelly bean, didn't like it, did full wipe and reverted back to 4.0.4, but had installed the latest modem and kernel.
after this i restored all my apps and settings from my backup and i was happy. since i did this i have had random sonar noises that didn't happen before with other firmware, and i have no idea what to do to stop it.
Is there any way to find out what notification sounds are assigned to which programs? or could it be something to do with the kernel?
has anyone else experienced this?
no worries if nobody has any suggestions, there are worst things that could happen, its only an annoying sounds every now and then, but any help would be appreciated!!!
Paul.
bump!
Weird lol, try a factory reset, if it stops then probably it's some kind of app, start installing apps one by one (or 10 by 10) and try to pinpoint which app is causing the sound.
have you checked if you have nfc active? i had a similar situation on my phone and it would play a notification sound randomly (i assumed randomly, but it wasn't).. only a few months leter i realised it only played that sound when i was holding the phone and my wallet together.. i happened to have a card with an nfc chip from my football team..
I checked all that stuff, nfc is off, even while airplane mode is on and there should be no network activity, it still makes the noise, there is no set pattern either, I did want to try and avoid a full reset, but ill have to try it out, maybe if i do that ill try the latest JB leak.
thanks for your responses guys!.
Paul.
Figured it out in the end!, it was a HTC animated clock widget i had installed! it made a notification noise every time the location changed!!
deleted and noise now gone!..
Does anyone know where i might be able to find a good HTC animated clock widget that has a smooth flip animation?
i tried a few and dont seem to be getting any joy! I have it on my work phone which is a HTC Wildfire S. i like that clock.
Hello Everyone.
Wonder if anyone can help me as I think I am going mad!
I use my headset all day (listening to podcasts) and whenever i answer a call, I have to remain very still for fear i will hang up (which happens regularly).
I have had the same problem on many roms - Omega, Temasek, Cyanogenmod, Foxhound and many more, its driving me crazy.
I have also installed proximity service and an app which I cant remember the name of at the moment, but will update when i find out. Needless to say, nothing has worked, the screen always comes on when a call comes in.
Does anyone have any idea what i can do to sort this, i never need my screen on when my phone is in my pocket.
PS I have tasker, maybe i can use that to sort it?
Thanks for any input
