Just got my desire a couple of days ago. When I was on a call yesterday I must have moved my face away from the phone slightly and it switched itself to speakerphone! Either that or perhaps the phone didn't detect it was next to my face so the touchscreen still worked? Is there a way to disable the speakerphone (I never use this function) so that this doesn't happen again? I can't see anything obvious in settings.

I bought phone holder for car, and there is two problems bugging me:
1 since holder is pressing camera button is there any way to disable its functionality temporarily (same question for volume buttons too)?
2 Is there any app that can take phone to speakerphone mode when I answer it during car drive?
Any reason why all my calls are being answered on SpeakerPhone Mode ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedTHE SPEAKERPHONE IS CRAP! It just sounds tinny and horrible and distorts all over the place. It has no mid-tones or bass (as much as phones can have bass). Even my little old Nokia does speakerphone 100 times better, and that this is no super-phone. So, is there some kind of graphic equaliser app that can fix this? Please?

Anyway - I was just wondering if there was any way to disable the large letters that appear on top of the key as you type the corresponding letter? It's really annoying when you're typing passwords and the letters just show up for anybody to see over your shoulder.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have had my desire for a couple of weeks now and loving it, just one point thats frustrating the hell out of me is why when sending a text message using the "phone" style keypad you can't disable the XT9 setting, I've turned it off in settings etc., and it will still default back to XT9 when you navigate away to add a smiley etc. Maybe I am missing something obvious! but I detest predictive texting - prefer to type my own letters. Any app that will sort this?

Is there an option to disable the LED flashing when you have a low battery? I know I have a low battery, I don't need to be continually reminded. I keep thinking I have a new message or something. (I know they flash green but still...)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have used my HTC desire for a month now and I am very pleased with this ultimate android phone.I have only one issue with the phone/system though. The optical trackball is hyper sensitive. Whenever I use the phone ouside and the sun is shining, then the track ball activates due to the light and the phone/system uses the input to always scroll to the right. This is pretty annoying because this means that I cannot use the phone outside. Resently I also discovered that a small lamp next to my couch can activate the trackball as well.Does anyone know if its possible to disable the optical trackball or am I the only one who has this problem? If so then maybe it's a hardware error and I will try to return the phone.As a temporarily solution I have placed a sticker on top of the track ball.

I've recently got a HTC Desire on Orange (which I love) and it has the Stocks app pre-loaded.
I know I cant remove this app but I can't seem to stop it updating itself every hour even though I will never use it.
I've been to: Accounts & Sync > Stocks > Account Settings ... and the 'Update Schedule' says 'Every Hour' underneath. However this option is greyed out so I cant reduce this or even stop it syncing at all.
I've also been to the 'Manage Application' settings and all I can do there is select 'Force Close'.
I think its annoying enough having an app put on my phone that I cant delete but to have it updating every hour and wasting my precious battery is even more frustrating.
I just wondered if anyone knew a way round this(or if I am missing something)?
Also, is this problem just an Orange thing as I know they meddle with the Desire more then most or do all Desire users have this problem?
I'm sitting down with Evo on the table off to the side. My wife calls and I her talking away with someone else...before I even touched the phone
Im on hardware 4, software 3.3x..had phone (as replacement) 2 weeks now and has never happened before. I tried with other phones, but it did not happen again.
The wife did call back later... I heard no more audio till I answered but then again... it is a long shot, but maybe she was not talking.
I have installed Hand cent for handling my SMS Instructions advise turning off default, but cant see how on the Desire? I am quite disappointed with the phone so far as it has too many niggles, the biggest being not able to auto answer calls, which makes it useless with my �200 Parott hands free. Any ideas how to disable or turn off default message handler?

View 8 Replies View RelatedThe speakerphone icon is on at the top and it won't go away. I use the speakerphone every once in a while when i'm on the phone, but not always. I tried turning the speaker phone on then off when I was on the phone, but it didn't make the icon go away. I can't find any settings to make it go away either.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there an app that automatically switches from speakerphone to ear piece based on the proximity detector?
I think it would be useful if there was an app that starts when in phone mode, and detects when the phone is being held to my ear and automatically switches from speaker to ear piece and back as the screen turns off or on based on the proximity detector.
With the more and more frequent state laws on hands free cell phone use while driving, something like this could be quite useful. I, for one would be willing to pay for something like this
It was working a few days ago. I try and hit speaker in-call and it say Speaker is ON but not working. How do I get it to work again? I have been getting calls from people but they can't hear me and my phone keeps d/c'ing them. I hear them but they don't hear me. What happened? The following apps are on my phone
Task Manager
Advanced Task Killer Pro
Star Maps
SetCPU
Power Manager
Slacker
Pandora
ColorNote
Battery Left
Jewel Lust Lite
Update: I turned my phone off and On again and it works. This is the second time this happened. The thing I usually do is when I charge my Phone I turn it completely off. Then I unplug it and plug it back in 2-3 times in the morning for the Full Charge. Then I turn it on and go to Task Manager or ATK Pro and kill all Apps. Bad or good?
I am trying to set speakerphone on in a call programmatically using audiomanager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true) in a service but it seems it is not working and I don't know why. Should I do something else?
View 1 Replies View Relateddoes anyone know how to disable the sent on my android phone in sms messages and on facebook?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've experienced the problem that when the desire is in my pocket and I receive a notification, the screen gets accidentally unlocked and the phone starts doing things that I don't want it to do. I know I can add an unlock pattern so that it won't unlock as easily but this is at the expense of me having to enter it even in situations I would not have needed it. So I thought that maybe we could use the proximity sensor to tell the phone to never unlock the screen if an object is close to the phone. Quickly looking at the android docs, it seems that the support for this is in the SDK, but I was wondering if anyone had created an application that does this. If time permits, I might even have a look at doing it myself, but as I'm very new to Android development, it will take me quite a long time to get to a usable state, hence my question about an existing app that does this.
View 49 Replies View RelatedUnfortunately it is an Orange branded phone and has all of their additional guff installed on the phone. I would like to run the desire without the sense UI and instead just run the plain android UI for a while, my problem is that when I disable Sense I am just left with the Orange home screen selector! Does anyone know how I turn that off and run the basic android? or am I stuck with these skins?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is a really weird deal. A friend of mine got an Epic about the same time I did, and we talked a lot, with both of us using speakerphone, and it sounded great. But at some point it started messing up, when both of us were on speakerphone. We get this really loud chirping sound, that goes away, if one of us turns speaker phone off. My friend also has this problem when talking to his wife, who also has an Epic. I don't experience any problems using speakerphone during any other calls, nor does he, unless they are Epic to Epic with both parties using speaker phone. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this odd behavior with their Epic? And if you haven't please try to test this out, with anyone else that has an Epic. At this point tech support doesn't have any other feedback, so I'm alone in the woods on this one.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an older Motorola T305 Bluetooth Car Speakerphone that I use in the rare event I need to take a call in the car. I've successfully paired the Incredible and I can dial on the phone itself and use the adapter for the most part.
What I can't figure out is how to get the phone to go to voice prompts when I press the "talk" button on the T305. I have had this unit paired with "dumb" phones aplenty - everything from an older RAZR, an LG ENV2 to a Moto W755. With every other phone, when I hit this button, I get a voice prompt that says "Please say a command". At that point I can either say "call" or "dial", but that doesn't seem to be the case with this phone.
Is there any app I need to run, or is this just a setting on the phone that I'm missing? Perhaps I just need a newer Bluetooth car adapter, not sure.
Anyone who is using the Motorola T325 with the Evo 4g. I have paired my phone with it and calls are nice and clear but from my understanding it's supposed to play my music from my phone as well via bluetooth. Maybe i heard wrong or something but is there anyone who can confirm or shed some light on this matter?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find the speakerphone function on the phone, and I've followed the directions in the manual, but when I'm in a call and press menu, I only see three functions: add call, flash, and people...
View 14 Replies View RelatedFirst, whenever I make or receive a call the speaker on message appears and my phone calls all are on speaker. I can't seem to fix that, I looked in settings but can't figure out what happened and how to fix.
Secondly, for some reason when I am in a program and hit the "home" icon my Evo no longer opens the home menu and allows me to go to other programs on my home screen. I am forced to hit the back arrow on the phone which is annoying. So if I am browsing like 10 web pages I have to go back to the first page to the first page I opened of the internet , then it allows me to press the "home" icon. very inconvenient...
Please tell me what I did wrong, i don't recall hitting any buttons to change these settings.
I have looked in book and cannot find how you activate speakerphone on hero.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI swear my speakerphone has gotten much much lower in volume lately and I can't do anything to turn it up. I can play media on the speakerphone and it's loud but even if I turn the volume up all the way during a call it's much quieter, anyone else experience this? It seems like it used to be very loud on speakerphone during a call and now it's very quiet.
