Is it possible to activate the loudspeaker on my Xda before choosing a telephone number?
Dial a number. Disconnect and tap onto the signal symbol in the title bar. Tap onto the disconnect telephone button and then immediately press the green button (accept telephone call) keeping it pressed until the note appears: The loudspeaker is activated.
The telephone then disconnects without establishing a connection. The information that the loudspeaker is activated remains.
Turn on the telephone. The loudspeaker is turned on instantly with each dialled number.
thats the info in their faq section but i dont understand???? what ive been trying to do is:
dial 4444....
hit the red button and then click the signal bar at the top of the screen
tap red button then hold green button down....
just doesnt do nothing :\ anyone know how to do this?
figured it out
right.......
phone loaded up as normal
dial any number and use the stylus to tap talk on the screen
then when connected use stylus to hit end on the screen
then quickly tap the signal bar and hit turn phone off or flight mode on
then quickly hold down the green BUTTON and speaker phone will turn itself on and the phone will turn off.
then just tap the signal bars again turn the phone part backon
there you go you now have h/f mode on all the time good for when driving

Yup, it works, a real convoluted way of doing things dont you think but something I have been trying to do for ages and finally gave up. Thanks
i wouldnt call it a propper way of doing it lol id call it more of a glitch in ppc lol but at least it works but you dont get no tones from keypad numbers if you turn them on and then so softreset they come abck on but h/s mode disapears......
but guess whats in my statup folder for some strange unknown reason a shortcut to handsfree.exe i click it it doesnt seem to do nothing but its just appeared in there for no reason.
ive searched windows directory and cannot see handsfree.exe so i linked to my pc to search found it i try copy it over from the ppc to my xp pc with show all files turned on but the icon just dissapears then i try copy it over again and it says do you want to overwrite this file so its on my pc but it just dont show up :\
it would be great if i could get this h/f thing into my startup lol so it comes on when turning the phone on

I can't believe O2 tells people to do this. Surely the effort of coding this small feature s less than the extra hassle of having your customers perform such 'dirty' workarounds.
There's some serious glitches in the support->coders communication pipeline for these devices, I tell you.
i totally agree
it would be nice if it done like......
when receiving a call and the screen pops up answer / reject
if it had aonother box option for like loudspeaker answer that would be cool
Maybe obtuse, but it works
On several occasions, I had fumbled fingered my PPC during a call and wound up with the H/S turned on semi-permanent. I never could figure out what I did. This is great info, but I agree, a nice little app would be a LOT better.
david
when u do this after turning the fone part back on hold the green button it goes off hold it again it comes back on if you tap the green button the telephone screen shows tis pretty cool but the device liek sounds low? till after the softreset
The other way round?
Having turned the XDA II off for a flight by powering down rather than putting on flight safe mode, all phone calls now are handsfree. How can I get it back to 'normal' mode?????
Driving me insane!!!

Is there a setting to silence the phone on an incoming call when the phone is locked? Pressing the volume up or down WON'T work with me.
Thanks in advance.
i just tried on my phone several times from different numbers and it works fine for me.. both buttons too
Were you using any program such as manic AutoKeylock? or you just held the end call button to lock it?
Maybe I need to reset it but I didn't install any programs.
just end button i did not think i needed a program to autolock my phone
silence
Hi,
when somebody calls me i would like to silence the ringtone and not hangup. (on sonyericsson you press the side key for volume)
pressing volume up or down doesn't work for me either. is there a place in settings where you have to enable this feature? (i sure couldn't find it )
I would like to confirm that a hard reset fixed the problem! Pressing volume down while phone is locked SHOULD silence the phone by default.
Could be some software glitch that messed it up in the first place.
Figured out the problem. It seems to me that when there is an active connection, i.e EDGE is connected and it is showing in the near the cell signal, you WON'T be able to silence it by pressing a volume down.
If you go to connection manager and disconnect Edge by pressing 6, then lock it and let somebody call you, you WILL be able to silence it!
I have tried the above three times to confirm it. Seems pretty messed up if you ask me!
If you know how to solve the problem, please let me know.
Anybody figured out the problem (Read above)? I will paypal you $20 if you can get this to work!
Really, why did they mess it up like that when my previous phone, SDA, worked!
Got a new tp2 from sprint. whenever i make a call it flips to home screen then off then back over and over. Also when I call voicemail, the keypad never comes up until i press keypad and while i am listening it goes back to home screen then turns off. whats going on? dam its annoying!
I'm having a similar issue. When ever I remove the phone from my ear while I'm still on a call it goes to the home screen. Very annoying. It will work as it's suppose to some of the time but I'd say 95% of the time I have this issue. Hopefully someone comes out with a fix for this.
Me too (I'm on TMobile). Also, at the end of the call when it asks if you want to add to contacts, it flips back to home if you don't respond fast enough. But the worst is when I'm dialing in for voice mail and need the touchpad; it flips to home and I have to hit the bottom left hard button to get back to the phone.
I assume it's something to do with the way it turns off the touch screen based on the proximity sensor when it's up by your ear, then turns it back on again as you move away from your ear, so no doubt there's a setting somewhere to adjust that.
same here... during a call the screen goes on and off several times. may be light sensor.... who knows
anything that prompts you to make choices by picking numbers becomes a pain unless you use speakerphone. really hoping for a fix
I have no clue if this will last but I changed the setting to lock the phone if it's unused from 30min to 1hr and that seemed to work for now. Changed it back to 30min to double check, it happened first try during the call but worked properly after.
the way its supposed to work is, when you put the phone to your ear the screen goes out when you pull it away it will come on to the call status screen(not the keypad, unless you push keypad then it should stay on keypad,but if you put it to your ear it will go off, when you pull it away it will come back on to the keypad.)this feature is so you do not push buttons with your face.
Same issue...
Orginally seemed to keep on the call status screnn, but now moves to the home screnn when pulled from head.
Any fix would be apprecaited...
I do not have auto lock turned on. I did load the VZW "clean up" cab. I can't figure out why sometime when I pick up the phone the lock is on, and other times the screen is simply turned off. I never hit lock, simply turn off screen or let it go off automatically.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks.
Are you sure you are not hitting the top button accidentally. That button will turn off the screen.
I do use the top button. It only turns off the screen though, not locks the device. I can use it, then hit it again minutes later and the device is fine. But sometimes I'll put the phone down or aside for a while, and when I pick it up to answer a call or something I'll find it has locked itself and I have to press the soft keys.
hmm... sounds strange, I gotta go with what the 2nd guy said, I will sometimes lock the device myself (the soft key for it is on the home screen after all and it's VERY sensitive). About the screen turning off, you sure it's not just going into it's timed sleep/standby mode?
hopefully this will be of some help...i too had this problem and then i realized what the cause of MY problem was...whenever i would receive a phone call and would let it go to voicemail, when i would wake the phone back up it would be locked...i cant remember if the same thing happened when i answered the call but i know for sure it would do it when i pressed ignore call or mute ringer and let it go to voicemail...SOLUTION:i downloaded a cab called disable auto lock (or sumthing like that) and it fixed the problem...hopefully that helps..

I've been trying to figure this out as well and came to the same conclusion. My screen is off, I answer a call, and when I hangup my screen is locked. I did a quick google search for disable auto lock and didn't have much luck. Can you post the name of the file and where you got it? Thanks
Not sure where I found it, I think PCGeeks, but it was called Disable_Auto_device_lock.cab
HOWEVER...it did not work for me. I may have to cold reboot (from scratch) as I've tried so many different cabs, things are getting messed up. I'm trying to hold off for the ROM update.
The phone will automatically lock if you miss a call. Sometimes if you pick up on the last ring the phone will consider it a missed call and still lock the phone. That has happened on my 6700, my 6800 and now my TP2, but this is the first phone that locks after a missed call. I actually like it becuase since I dont have a S2U2 or 6.5 on the phone it prevents butt dialing if I leave my phone in my pocket or soemthing.
I have noticed the same issue. I also noticed that it did not happen before I had installed the clean up cab. I had thought that the lock button was being hit while the phone was in my pocket.
Although the "Disable auto..." didn't work for me, I down loaded and am trying S2U2. So far, and if I'm not mistake, It did not lock me after a missed call, or answering a call.
I'm going to play with it for a while. Had something similar before on my old Q9c so if it works, great!
I just hope all these friggin cabs work when I update to 6.5, or I may not! The only real pet peeve I have about the TP2 is earpiece volume. If the cab volume booster doesn't work, I won't upgdate!
I have this issue as well. It seems to lock if the person that calls me hangs up before I do. It also locks if I ignore a call. I have had it lock in the middle of a call as well. Really annoying if I need to use the onscreen keyboard to enter information during the call.
I hope someone can find a solution for this. So far, it's my only complaint about this phone.
Well, I've been using S2U2 now for a couple of days. Getting to like it! My screen no longer locks, and I kind of like the Iphone type unlock. When a call comes in 2 nice large buttons for either answer, or end (ignore).
You may want to try it.
Mine does the occasional random lock also and when it does, it wants a password that does not exist. IF anyone knows what the standard password is, please let me know. I don't have one set and need to reboot when this happens. Really my only beef with the phone which hopefully gets fixed in 6.5
I have found that if I receive an SMS the screen will come on on its own. In those circumstances I have seen it lock the screen afterwards.
I am thinking it is a failsafe put into the phone for accidental button hits after the phone wakes up from certain activity but could be in a pocket.
hi,
sorry for this lengthy message. But pls, experts look into this.
my father was having an Imate jama 201. 3 yrs ago, he kept inside since it did not work properly for him. That time i did not know what the problem was. Now i have caught hold of that.
The phone switches on properly. The welcome screen is seen. If there is no Sim card, it displays a msg. When i put a Sim card, it displays the operator name as well as the G- GPRS symbol. But when i click the start button or any key, it operates very very slowly.
In the navigation buttons i can only press the down button to go down a menu, but that too, by pressing the left key along with it. The right selection button( long rectangle near back button,) does not respond when i click it. But if the phone back light goes out, the phone responds back by coming back again to the home screen, on clicking that button.
I dont know whether this is a software or a hardware problem. The phone, very rarely is able to work without any sluggishness. I am able to view the preloaded gifs and images in the pictures menu and even go to camera mode.
I am able to receive calls and messages, but since the buttons don't respond properly, i am not able to answer them. The ring tone is loud enough to hear when i get a call.
I have no important data in it, so i am willing to flash it irrespective of any data loss, if required.
I am ready to answer any of your queries regarding this issue.
Thanks in Advance
You should try to make a hard-reset!
actually, most of the keys in it wont work properly. You just press randomly some keys in it, only a letter appears. i am able to go till the hard reset menu, but not able to enter the number: 1234
I got the Galaxy S22 Ultra in July of this year and since then, it has dialed emergency number more than 5 times. I have no idea how to stop it. I have:
a) Removed the phone dialer icon from lock screen.
b) Unchecked the Emergency SOS option.
c) Unchecked the "Wake Screen on double tap".
But, for some reason, the screen still keeps waking up when the phone is in my pocket and particularly when I am going up/down the stairs or on a treadmill. The second observation is that it does not dial 911 but dials 112. Then I get a call from the emergency responders and I have to explain to them about the phone.
Phone is non-rooted, Android 12 and upgraded to Android 13. Problem happens on both.
I have searched on Google but cannot find anything relevant. I have no idea how to stop the phone from dialing emergency number. Please help...
Prior to S22 Ultra, I has S20+ and it never dialed emergency number.
Thanks,
Arun
check whether the power button have issues. check by dialing *#0*# and tap on SUB KEY.

What is supposed to happen? When I pressed the SUB KEY, the phone screen turned a bright grey. Pressing the back button, the screen turned bright purple. Pressing the back button second time brought back to the original screen.
If I dial *#0*# and press the power button, the screen turns bright red. Then pressing back button turns the screen bright purple and pressing back button second time takes me back to the original menu screen.
Thanks...
Does it turn red without pressing the power key, just wait few seconds to check whether its happening, because if there is a problem with the key then definitely the screen changes to red by itself.

Type in settings SOS, under Safety and you will find an option to press power button to call 911, you can turn it off there.
It is already off but the phone still dials emergency number. It did so again yesterday. I was just standing and watching TV and phone was in my pocket. On closer inspection, I am seeing that the phone dials 112 and NOT 911. 112 is also considered an emergency number.
This has been happening once/twice a month ever since I got this phone. I have turned off every possible emergency dialing but it still does so.
Someone told me that these phones have a feature that when they detect certain type of movement, they assume that the person is in an accident or has fallen down and they will dial emergency number and there is no way to stop it. This is super dumb IMHO.
From what you're describing it seems that the screen gets turned on randomly and it also accepts interaction even though the phone is in the pocket.
I have no idea why would the screen turn on (and allow touch interactions) when it's in the pocket.
Do you have a screen protector/cover or similar that might "simulate"touches ? or maybe a case that pushes some of the buttons on the side ?
You are absolutely correct about screen turning on randomly. Many times, when I pull the phone out of pocket, I see that its screen is on and dialer is on emergency call screen. It would only take one touch to dial the emergency number.
I do not have any screen protector, only cover. The cover is Spigen and I cannot see a way that it would simulate screen touch. The power key on the cover is recessed to prevent accidental press.
I have another theory. I have configured Samsung wallet and this wallet can be activated by screen swipe from bottom to top. Even when screen is totally off, a swipe from bottom to top activates the wallet and card shows up. This wakes up the screen and brings up all the menus etc. including provision to dial emergency number. I am not sure if friction between pocket and phone screen is causing to launch this screen.
The only problem with this theory is that I had the same setup on S20 without any issues. But on S20, I always used screen protector which might have reduced the touch sensitivity. On the S22, I have tried couple of screen protectors including many brand names and they just do not stay.
Go ahead and test your theory by switching off your swipe gesture for your samsung wallet and see if that'll do it.
I had this exact same problem several times on my Samsung Galaxy S21 5G. Has absolutely nothing to do with the Emergency SOS feature. Mine would call 911 with my phone in my pocket while mowing my lawn...very embarrassing to tell an LEO at high alert barging into your backyard that yeah, you really are okay...maybe hot and in need of a beer, but essentially okay.
What's happening is you have Double Tap to Turn On Screen enabled. A double tap in your pocket or bag will open the lock screen, expose the soft key for making an Emergency Call, and ultimately a couple more unfortunately well placed taps will place the call to 911. Apparently this has become a huge problem nationwide since the Android 13 update late last year. To disable it, in the phone Settings, go to Advanced Features, Motions and Gestures, and turn off Double Tap to Turn On Screen.

I had already disabled double tap before posting here, but it was still dialing 911. Finally, I have put a screen protector film on and did NOT increase the screen touch sensitivity. Normally protective film manufacturers recommend increasing screen touch sensitivity after installing the film. Since then, it has not dialed 911 (knock on wood).
