disable proximity sensor cm10.1 - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can anyone tell me a way to disable the proximity sensor in cm10.1? this seems to be the cause of mic and speaker on skype and many other calling apps. Groove IP works because the proximity sensor isn't been used when calls are made from it so i'm guessing if i can completely disable it i would be able to use other apps like skype which is very important to me since i use it for both personally and work

Hi!
1st, this post should be in the Q&A section.
Have you tried looking in the device options? I recall seeing something like that on cm7, perhaps it's still there.
A personal note: If you use the atrix for work, then you shouldn't be running an alpha rom, it might get you a lot of trouble. Your best option is motorola's official gb

[Q]Upside down camera on some apps

Hi all,
Some camera applications like google goggles is now showing images upside down. I am using the rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446774.
Anyone having this same problem? Is there a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry still a newbie, can't post on development thread.
Regards.
Yes, this is some sorta bug with these devices.
Btw, with Google talk, on the receiving end the image appears right side up, even though it is upside down for you.
I have just noticed this problem. It seems to be affecting some camera apps but not all. Not much clue on the cause of the problem. e.g. Camera Zoom FX, Angel Camera and the default camera seems to work but Vignette doesn't.
yes also mytubo and google+ hangouts.. i wish someone can fix this and also the compass

The rom you are using is essentially stock plus a custom kernel. Let me backtrack and see if this is due to the use of the custom kernel. If yes, it is probably a driver problem and we can report to the kernel thread.
It also sometimes appear with Skype on my device, with the back camera (yp-GB70 with GB.KRKPH). I thought it had something to do with rotation of the screen?
Just retry stock rom (XXKPF), the image is also upside down in some apps. Anybody else have similar problem on stock rom? If it happens only in some apps, I suspect that it is much likely that it is a problem of the app.
When I google about this kind of problem, I can see many apps often have up-side down image on their bug list (fixed or not fixed) for different kinds of devices.

Hey, just messing with google+, and I can't find anywhere to start a hangout! Help?
Ah, nvm, I see you need to be over 18 to use hangout.
(Why did I ever tell google my real age?? Epic facepalm!)
I had the same problem. But with the latest update via kies, the problem disappears. Even with a custom rom. For example, I 'm using rj's kernel, and with the latest stock rom, the upside down camera problem is gone.

[Q] questions on [ROM]MIUI v4-2.6.22 for X10 Mini Pro |Released| 26/6/12

I have been using this ROM for some time now, and since the update allowing super user its has worked rather well,
I was wondering if anyone can post some fixes for the following problems (I'm a new user so I cannot post on the development page),
the audio does not work with headphones, I have tried many different types but it will simply play music out loud with or without headphones,
the inbuilt themes, I can download them and apply them but the theme will not change,
poor 3g connection, very tempremental but usable, (I did not have this issue with cm9 mini, cm7 or prime)
wifi - it can detect wifi but when I attempt to connect it is a failure, could this possible be due to my router ??
rotation - auto rotate does not work making it slightly harder to use on-screen keyboard
I can confirm a good battery life, specially in comparison to cm9,
runes smoothly, good battery life and smooth interface with 748MHz-19MHz [smartassV2] overclocking
If any one can make and update.zip or send me specific .apk's ect to fix any of these issues please do so, further more I would like for someone to post the issue of the headphones not being recognized on the actual thread,
Make sure to have NAA kernel 11 installed.

I have the latest ICS kernel installed and it worked fine with nAn's CM9 port but it very temperamental on miui, my on screen keyboard will not appear at times whilst other times it works relatively well or my screen will not wake after it is unlocked (i will be able to unlock the screen and click on apps but the screen is completely off) the only way I can fix it is locking and unlocking the screen multiple times so it catches up :S
but by far the headphone jack not recognizing any of my headphones including the standard set you get with the phone is my biggest issue, I love my music, the issues hasn't been mentioned on the ROM page so I'm unaware if its just effecting me, which would mean I've done something wrong or it is an actual bug that has been overlooked
thank you for the quick response by the way :good:
There is another MIUI rom, by stelios97, where the headphones don't work either, but he suggests a workaround Take a look here and see if that fixes your problem.

[Q] Crackteam JB CM10 Bluetooth not connecting to headset xt910

HI
I have installed 3 versions of the umts roms from the crackteam project. The aosp for something like that date Oct 20 did not even load,
Also the cyanogen cm10 worked pretty good but besides battery drain the bluetooth headsets do not ask for the device code.
For bluetooth speakers it works fine but on headsets no sound can be heard.
Which JB ROM is the best for xt910? :beer:
I really need the handsfree it is essential for driving, but I like JB and hate factory ROMs with apps I did not even choose nor use (twitter, facebook, evernote) and cannot uninstall.

Yes, Bluetooth sound is not working on JB. I need it for driving too so I am running ICS. None of the JB roms have handsfree bluetooth calling working, so if you need it for driving, do not use Jellybean at the moment.
tried goo.im bluetooth still not wirking with headset

Thanks for clarifying the source of the problem, well I will keep trying nightly roms hope one of these days one of them will work.
Today I tried:
goo.im umts_spyder/aokp/STOCK-JB-aokp_umts_spyder_unofficial_Oct-22-12.zip
But still nothing, plus did not like too much the aopk nova launcher way too many options for the UI, maybe i am used to one command at a time
That is a nice ROM. Subscribe to the thread in the development section, some say Bluetooth will be fixed.
I don't use nova launcher either, but it's a good launcher. I bought Apex pro so i just load that with any ROM I'm using and restore my settings. Easiest to figure out what launcher you like and just save your settings to your SD card. Makes restoring a snap.

Thanks for the suggestion, and yes formerly when I had a Motorola Bravo I used Golauncher, now seems that Apex Pro is the option to go for (I liked a theme about maya's, since this is their last year), I also went to google contacts and tried to delete a lot of what is repeating to avoid having to do the clean up each time I flash the device.
BTW I just tried the CNA, from crack team crackteam.crackflasher umts_spyder/cna/STOCK-CNA-JB-Oct-23-2012-07.49.40-CrackTeam-Umts_Spyder.zip
The bluetooth connection works a bit better, but with aokp and cm10 they auto discovered the APN from my carrier, with this I had to manually setup the APN access point, not a big deal the internet worked but just a curious point. As for the bluetooth connection it was a bit better since I was able to hangup and answer the call from the headset, but still no sound neither in nor out.
Which ROM to try, from crackteam they updated all today Aokp, aosp, cm10, cm9, cna, wow this guys develop faster than what it takes to test the roms, in case of confusion this last paragraph is a complement to the crackteam

I had to enter my APN manually as well.
When one is fixed for bluetooth they will all be fixed. I'm just gonna keep an eye on the comments in the thread and the first page and try it out when it's fixed. Of course it works for CM9.
It's all trial and error for now, testing and bug fixing is a lengthy process.
Just tried the cm10 Oct-23 from crackteam, after trying the aosp (which did not load), the aokp, the cna(did not load the default user background picture, additionaly had the manually setup the APN); i am back with the cm10 which as for pure taste or user experience is the one I like the most.
I like how CM10 displays the keyboard with alternate keys, still with today's version bluetooth headset is not working for music is ok but for calls nope.
I'll try the cm9 as you suggested me just to prove bluetooth headset works with custom ICS rom.

Since the HDMI was not working and I bought the stupid cable, I decided to go back to the stock rom, with moto blur and all that crap so I could get the hdmi working as supposed.
When doing the restore using SafeStrap I choose to recover the webtop and according to what I have found that could be what brick my beautiful phone.
Now I am using RSDLite and trying to restore at least to Factory settings, got and error about cdt.bin_signed when trying to install the Reatil image for XT910 for Brazil.
I found a site with several different images http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php
although for the momento I will try the one from androidroot.org
Finally, with the factory cable and trying a lot of roms because of the cdt.bin_signed error; well the one for this razr was retail ICS 6.7.2 emea.
Not sure why but when rebooted it always gets to the recovery menu and I am forced to choose normal powerup
Besides that I am back to android world with an unbricked phone

[Q] lock screen notifications and camera on 4.1?

i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for this scenario:
i recently switched over from an iphone 5 - i'm running the latest MeanBean and pretty happy with everything for the most part.
two things i miss from the iphone:
- access to a "quick camera" from the lock screen (even if i dock the camera app, i have to unlock my phone before the app will open)
- gmail and handcent SMS notifications on the lock screen
i know it's possible to just drag the notification panel down from the lock screen, but it's slightly less elegant. i'd like to be able to turn my screen on, glance at any new texts or e-mails, and turn it back off. to clarify, the only reason i'm using handcent is because i need group messaging (MMS) functionality, which android 4.1 doesn't properly support. i know the Sense productivity lockscreen supports the native SMS app.
the frustrating part is that android 4.2 gives me the lockscreen widgets i'm looking for (and the group messaging too!), but none of the 4.2 ROMs out there have a camera app that measures up to the Sense one. it's literally the only reason i'm using a Sense ROM.
any suggestions?
gonna try rephrasing my question to see if anyone has any advice:
1) what's your favorite Android 4.2 ROM with working Bluetooth?
2) my dad started complaining about the font size on the iphone 5, so i have a feeling he's going to want this phone back. what's a good daily driver for a non-power user? i was thinking MeanBean

Currently I'm running CM10.1 "cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-jewel-M2", and it works fine with Bluetooth.
It does, however, have issues with GPS and MHL/Hdmi. I was able to get the GPS working correctly after discovering this workaround. I haven't yet been able to fix MHL/Hdmi support, though.

[Q] Epinter cm 10.1 (4.2.2) Mic problems when recording / Skype / Whatsapp

Hey everyone,
I just flashed from cm 7.2 march 2013 latest nightly to Epinter 10.1 and I'm having trouble with the mic when using Skype or sending audio messages through Whatsapp.
I flashed :
- CM version: 10.1 - 20130827 - UNoFFICIAL - epinter - Olympus
- Kernel Version 3.1.10-g4b0def8-dirty [email protected] #2 Sept 3rd
- Baseband N_01.77.36P (though I tried the 37p also and it had the same results)
- Gapps-jb-20130304b-olympus-signed
I've had this issue on an earlier release as well.
I Factory reset > Wipe Cache > Wipe Dalvic > Flash Epint 10.1 Rom > Flash Kernel > Flashed Baseband > Flashed Gapps > Reboot.
Everything else seems to work great! And the speed of the Device with Battery life is awesome so I don't want to leave this rom but loosing Skype access or sending audio messages, even messing up the mic when using voice to text gets in the way of using the phone.
Let me know if I just missed a huge step or if something has already been released.
Thanks everyone!!
Yes, you missed a huge step. Specifically, this one.
Mic issues have been mentioned COUNTLESS times already.
Search first, post and ask questions later. Something that way too many people seem to just refuse to do. Sigh.
Thank you for that beautiful piece of help

I have searched and found similar issues but none that only affected skype, whatsapp, or the voice to text. The phone portion works fine so I know that the mic can work it's just not for those specific apps. I wouldn't be asking if I knew the answer. I'm just looking for help.

So out of all those pages, you missed the part about those apps not working properly? I've said it a lot lately. The search feature works wonders. Go to the thread on a pc/laptop. Find the thread id. Open new tab and google "xda forum *insert thread id here* skype" i'm sure you'll find matches throughout the thread.
