1) When going to unlock my phone using the screen pattern, I've noticed that recently the screen rotates. As far as I remember, it has always been in portrait which is the easiest way to quickly unlock -- rather than waiting for it to rotate from landscape back to portrait so i get the pattern correct.
2) Every time I answer my phone it goes automatically to loudspeaker. I keep forgetting and I'll end up deaf. This is very annoying!
3) Sometimes I'll be playing a game or whatever and 'car mode enabled' (something like that) will appear. I click to deactivate it but I didn't actually do anything to activate it in the first place. Why does this keep happening?
Sounds to me (noobie) like it's constantly in car mode or something. How can I turn this off? It doesn't say anything in the notification bar about it.
Thank you.
It sounds like moisture in the microUSB connector. It has a known problem of putting the phone into Car Mode - calls are via loudspeaker.
I would do a Search on here about Car Mode problems. I think a bit of DW40 resolves the issue.

what firmware are you running on the phone?
It should not default to loudspeaker unless car mode is running, check setting phone to make sure that there is nothing is running that shouldn't.
If there is nothing turned on, then it you may have problem with your hardware.
What type of game are you playing, It sounds like during the game there maybe an extra button being pressed by accident.

See the attached pic.
Where do I look to see if it's in car mode or not? When it switches on there is usually a notification and I can deactivate it from there -- but the notification bar is empty and there are no unusual icons.
The game is called WordFeud, it's like scrabble.
Thanks for your help.
I searched the forum and can't find how to check car mode.
in another forum (androidpit) i found a hint to try "Dock No-Op" with this "car-mode-problem" :
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.megagram.docknoop
i dont know if it helps
Moreover you can also try out this:
1) factory reset (wipe all?)
2) flash original firmware!
3) take out the battery for an hour or two
4) power on
5) check if all is ok now
if yes:
6) flash whatever you want

Hello!
I have rooted galaxy s2, change 15 custom roms, and still there’s one thing on every rom seam to appear: when i try to connect bluetooth on main screen, with scroll down options, and when i choose to select bluetooth icon, there's constant problem with every custom rom: first appears sound and then icon of bluetooth with this sign ”?”, and text message ''bluetooth available'' beside that ''?''! Despite of that, bluetooth works, but that’s really annoying! What is that, how can i fix it?

Hi mate,
just press this notification and u will see it's just an info.
U will directly bring u to bluetooth settings - f.ex. to make phone visible or connect to a device.
So:
Activate per icon in notificationbar (bluetooth activated)>press notification>
connect to device or make phone visible etc.
It's just a wy to make life easier and safe some clicking via menu>settings>Wireless etc.
Hope u understand and I could help.

Despite of that, bluetooth is working, notification words ''bluetooth available'' disappear, but that icon of bluetooth stands in upper left notification part of screen with sign ? beside icon of bluetoth.

What he is saying, is that it is intended. It is part of Android so you can more easily get to the bluetooth settings screen to either pair with other devices or change your discovery settings.

You all have me misuderstood, that is not part of Android, it's fault, error
That is error message in notification bar, when you turn on bluetooth, bluetooth is activated without any sound or message like ''bluetooth available ?'', doest this message is normal, it's not!

I'm pretty sure I understand you just fine... but just in case, I'll describe what I see when I turn on bluetooth.
When I turn on bluetooth, I get a notification tone, and a notification that has the bluetooth symbol with a "?". When I swipe my notification bar down, it says "Bluetooth available". If I click on that, the notification icon disappears, and my bluetooth settings opens.
If this is NOT what you are talking about, maybe posting some screenshots would help us understand what you mean.

You actually do have an option to turn on notifications when open wi-fi networks are available. But it's off by default, I think.
As for GPS, the GPS doesn't have to connect to anything like wi-fi or bluetooth, exactly.
Mate,
all is fine.
This notification only appears on bluetooth.
And no it's not an error...
U can see it like and notification/info that u now are able to do s.th. with bluetooth... That for it is.
And sure there must be an "?" because at tgis moment u turn on bluetooth u aren't automaticly connect to an other device...
And yes it wasn't there everytime... It's was a "feature" (maybe for u not) in an earlier firmware release of android.
Be cool... Press notification and see that nothing crazy happening and then u can decide if u you.... If not just ignore it.
Hope all is fine now

yes, just that what you said! So that is normal! Can i turn off that option?
But it confuses me, because on one custom rom, which i held for long nothing like that is happening!

Hmm don't think so because it's a bit senseless to turn it off (normally).
But I'm not using the actual JKay, maybe it has the option to deactivate the notification, but I'm not sure...
Don't misunderstand me, but if u activate bluetooth y normally want to connect and than it's better to do it with two than with 5 clicks or?
Maybe u think again about it.
Hope all is clear now for you ;-)

That only shows up when you turn on bluetooth from OUTSIDE the bluetooth settings screen. In other words, from the notification bar or a widget, so you can more quickly open the bluetooth settings, if you wanted to pair a new device. If you turn on bluetooth when you're already IN the bluetooth settings screen, it won't show up. Try it. You can ignore it. It's NOT an error.

something has been annoying me for a while, I noticed playing around when I first got ICS an option to extend the period the phone locks itself when you switch off the screen, or if the screen goes off while you're still reading it, you can just press the button without having to go through the unlock slider menu.
Now my phone seems to be on the mode 'lock the phone as soon as screen off' and I can't for the life of me figure out where the option to change it is, I have looked in EVERY settings menu.
please tell me how where this option is because its something that is really bugging me!
thanks
Settings>security...
Sent from my LT26i
in that menu, the options I have are, screen lock, owner info, sim card lock, make passwords visable, device admins, unknown sources,trusted credentials, install from internal storage and clear credentials...no option to change lock time ?

Hi am going to presume you are on a stock ICS ROM. This happens on stock ROM's if you are using any type of the screen security features. Try them all, you will notice it auto locks after even seconds of sleep. Taking off any of these features and waking your phone back up, your phone resumes as to where you left it. To my knowledge you need a custom ROM to amend the time it takes for the phone to assume it's lock. Im guessing there is a patch or something out there that can add this option though.
yeah I am, and you're right that option becomes available when I select pattern unlock, but is not available with the stock slide to unlock. How would I go about adding this option then?

Just about to hit the hay, so i can't find a solution right now but i know that Miui ROM has the option you're looking for. Allows you to set whether the phone locks when sleeping or stays on your current activity whilst sleeping :good:
the problem is I'm on a locked bootloader any way of adding a patch to add the option without changing the rom?
appreciate the help
