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
Hi.
I have the new Samsung Galaxy S II and am mostly pleased with it.
I'd like to address one of the annoying issues I'm having though:
When I plug in the headset and listen to music or audio books the pause/play button on the headset works while the music is playing back.
However, when I pause and wait for a while I cannot use the button to continue playing anymore.
I assume that the phone went to sleep and is not "listening" to the button anymore. I think this is a general issue and not only present on the SGSII, though.
Are you having this problem too?
Is there a way to make the phone react to the pause/play button so it continues playing even if it is in sleep mode?
If so, would enableing this have a noticable effect on battery life?
I should notice I both use the default music player app and also at times another app called Subsonic to play music (the latter streams the music from my NAS that I do not have directly on the phone). The problem is also apparent in the default music player.
Thanx in advance!
(I tried to add a [Q] in the title afterwards but i cant anymore
P.S.:
I moved from the LG Optimus Speed and the SGSII is much better, and its quite nice overall, but there are some issues:
- The device can easily get too hot for my taste. I understand that it has a powerful processor and if it is used much it is bound to happen when you tax the cpu much (such as when navigating or playing games), but:
I notice it happens for instance just when I scroll on the home screen. Whereas when I play audio or even video (at least in case of standard sd video) it barely gets wormer.
So I think there is lots of room to optimize and use less resources in so the heat problem is less prominent.
- I think I too am affected by the battery drain issue of the Android OS process to a degree. It is not as prominent as others have it, but i think it's still too high.
- When taking photos i have the red dot problem (both in the preview and the taken photos). It is not evident when taking videos. Apparently its a whitebalance issue. I updated to KE7 and it is still there, but only notciable when for instance pointing at a white wall.
- The screen is gorgeous but has a blue tinge. It is not noticable when looking directly at the screen unless the display is white. However it gets noticable when looking at the screen at an angle.
From what I found out its common with amoled displays to compensate for the increased loss of brightness of blue pixels, so i guess it will get fainter with time.. but still.. I hope samsung is able to improve on this with their new amoled display factory which is planned to be used sometime this summer which promises displays that use less power and have a longer life-time...
My nexus one begins playing music while in sleep mode from the button on my headset, so maybe its an issue with the galaxy s2.
Well, I had the same problem on my LG Optimus Speed, thats why I assumed it is not specific to the SGSII.
Anybody else having this issue?
How to solve it?
Try holding down the button. I know when I use my headphones once it has been paused, to get it to start back up I have to hold onto for a bit. I use the headphones given with the SGS II and the Google Music player.

Can confirm what brandenk0 said:
Try holding down the button a little bit
--> or sometimes double/tripple klicking the button works.
I tried it with the built-in music player, WinAmp and PowerAMP and it always continues the music; even after a very long sleep
Thanx for your help, that did it!
Another question:
Is it somehow possible to use the button to go the previous or next track?
I know there are bluetooth headsets that have buttons for that.. but with the standard cable headset there is just the one button...

As far as I have tried, I haven't found a way to get the standard headphone controls to go to the previous or the next song.
Hope this helps.

I can confirm that the headphone button has changed from S1 in the S2. Normally no issues between standby or not on the S1, but on the S2 it seems different and much more issues unpausing
Pause = 1x short
Unpause within 2 sec after pausing = 1x short
Unpause after 2sec = 1x long or 2x shortly (differs ... sometimes no resume :s)
Next Track, during play = 2x short
Hi
try something like these (from Market):
Headset Droid
Headset Button Controller
[]'s
Official Solution:
I spent over an hour on this.
Download Headset Button Controller, THEN: go to Advanced, way bottom "Advanced settings", and "Prevent sleep mode". Also have Run in foreground checked.
Another thing that might help is downloading "SoundAbout", an app that overrides the kernel's decision on whether there's a mic attached with the headphones, and will override just about everything else related to audio routing as well.
+1 if this helps! :good:
This is probably the dumbest question ever asked on this forum, but I have no idea which end is up on my Tab. I bought this thing used off CL so I have no idea how the orientation was out of box. Then, it works no matter how I turn it in my hands which confuses me more.
So, I figured a simple solution would be to look at the volume rocker and see which way I have to push it to turn the volume up. That makes me think the power button/volume goes in the lower left hand corner. But I find myself bumping the buttons during regular use and the Time magazine app displays upside down. So I rotate it the other way so the power button/volume is in the upper right hand of the device but now when I press volume down the volume goes up and vice versa so I'm extremely confused. Which end is up on this thing?
You want the buttons on the top of the Tab.
The Word SAMSUNG should be in the lower...
...in addition, the 30 pin connector is at the bottop, right below SAMSUNG ...

His question is about portrait mode.
As per me the volume buttons should be top right hand corner. Also try to get accustomed to use the volume button in the opposite way

So the volume rocker is backwards then? When I'm holding it in portrait (I never use it in landscape ever) the dock connector is on the left and the power buttons on the right then? Why is the rocker backwards?
1) Correct, this is the dumbest question ever asked on this forum.
2) There is no "up" on a tablet. That's kind of the point. Some programs will turn to a specific orientation. In these programs, your best bet is to turn the tablet so that the words read left to right. Or so that the angry birds fly from left to right. I really hope you get the picture, but judging from the question, I'm skeptical that you don't need a youtube video (the "play" button should be in the lower left hand corner).

Thing is I feel like I'm operating a helicopter with all the spinning. I just want one end to be up so I can label it with an arrow or something. Different apps change the orientation confusing the crap out of me.
Just use it the way it fits best to use.
And as a hint, the tab is less laggier if you hold it landscape with the Samsung Logo readable. A weird Tegra 2 Bug which hasn't been fixed until know, hardware problem
Go into the settings and turn off autorotate then. Problem solved. At least one of them, that is...

I tried that at first. But some apps turned it upside down and the market always goes into landscape for some reason. It never displays in portrait.
If there was a hall of fame for stupid threads on XDA, this one would be in it.
No need for that, we all have to start off somewhere.
Galaxy tab 10.1 is supposed to be operated in landscape mode. So almost all the apps will open in landscape except some non tablet optimized ones.
Couple questions...
When I am in a call, I can't change the volume while the phone is to my ear (because the screen is off). If I take it away from my ear and let the screen turn back on, then I can change the volume. But all phones including the stock galaxy s4 rom allows you to change the volume while the phone is to your ear and the screen is off. Where did I go wrong?
Does anyone have Snapchat installed? My Snapchat has a grey bar at the top about 1 cm. It's like the entire snapchat gui was shifted downward by 1 cm because I can't see the very bottom of the screen like I usually did. Anyone know what's going on there?

same thing happens with snapchat to me, i would like to see if there is a fix or if this is going to be addressed!
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Also, has anyone found a way to change the volume of the call without taking the phone away from my ears so that the screen turns on?
The volume thing is new to RLS4 I believe (I never noticed it until then) and the Snapchat bug is also a thing, I tried re-installing it and the grey bar persists, I am sure sbreen is aware of it and working on it.
Hi Guys,
The front stereo speakers is a really nice thing, but the speaker routing does not follow the screen orientation, which is quite annoying with movies and games.
The left speaker is the bottom speaker, which is really strange if you want to use the device in landscape mode because in this case the volume buttons have to be at the bottom of the device for the right speaker routing.
Is there any way to change the routing when the screen orientation changes?
Just when you thought all the Nexus 9 bugs had been identified.
To be honest I didn't believe you so I loaded Stereo Test app and yes you are correct!! With the buttons at the bottom and the "nexus" logo on the back upside down then the left channel is on the left. Tried my Nexus 10 and with the buttons on top and logo correct way up left channel is on the left!
Hmm, stereo channels reorient for me in youtube if I flip my tablet...
Using Chrome and the simple left/centre/right test at http://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_stereo.php also shows the error. No sign of channels swapping on rotation.
Strange. After a reboot working well again.
It looks like stuck sometimes for some reason, because I experienced this problem several times.
And I'm pretty sure before the 5.0.1 update the speaker routing never followed the screen rotation.
BTW the Nexus 6 never had this problem.
