Hi,
I just upgraded my ROM by my problem is when charging, it can't seem to charge the phone fully, the batt status is charging forever. I figure I have to hard reset my device but I don't know how.
Also, I want to know if there a handsfree mode for talking on the phone or do I need to install an appropriate software? THanks

here is it anyway

Try pressing, and holding it for 2 secs or so, the green call button during a call!! It will work..

Thanks for the reply.
j_metselaars: It doesn't work. It's the green handset button right? Not the one on screen. Can you help me? Thanks.

My XDA 2 has no problems with this. It is stated in the maual anyway! But during a phonecall, you press and hold the green hardware button!!! Just as long as it takes to give you a certain Icon in the start bar.... It states speakerphone enabled...
That workes on my XDA 2 and should also work on XDA 1!!!

Mee 2 ....
One more...
ok, so maybe is time to start brainstorming except writing "me too"! it is like in the kindergarten
in HKLM/Software/HTC/ are many keys, e.g. StartupAnimation..
i tried to make a new key with StartupVibration/Enable=1
but looks like it does not work. any another ideas?
Umm, if it did work, shouldn't you be setting that value to 0?

In my knowledge, the vibrating on the smart mobility screen, the first on the boot process, is't related to registry, cause the system haven't started yet. So perhaps is a value in the SPL.
I don think you can change into the registry.
did not work even with "0" (as disabled)...
...
if it is a value in the SPL, then no more fight with it...

Why not fight...? we can send a petition to pof to take a look at the HardSPL to see if can find the value (if exist).
i ment not fight with it through registry of course
Why would it vibrate in your cradle? Do you continuously restart your phone in the cradle? Or have an app that restarts your phone often?

I install programs and do regedits while the Kaiser is connected to my PC. Many of these programs & changes needs soft reset.
I see Thanks IsBjorn.
Wish I could help!

It's not a bad idea to let ppl to make contributions of any type. This let ppl learn about other ppl ideas about Kaiser. No one knows what are beside the vibration...
Perhaps this post moves someone to learn something... enough for me to be here...
I personally like this feature since in order to actually power on a Kaiser you have to press/hold the power button until you either see the green light come on or feel the vibration.

I never turn my Kaiser on or off, just soft restarts after and during installations and regedits.
I remember that some of my old mobiles did automaticly disable vibration during charging and when put in a cradle. All this to protect the connectionplug and "chargerport".
(Not that good in writing english; what's the real name on the "chargerport"?)
Charge port = Power jack?
Charge port sounds good to me. =)

you mean when you wanna wake up the phone/turn it off? do you feel i slight click when you press it?
When I want to wake it up I just need to press hard and it works.
To turn the screen off a lot of the times it turns off and lights up again.
I do feel a slight click when I click it but it seems that I need to press it harder to make it respond.
Sometimes I feel the click and it doesn't seem to receive it.

would you open the back cover and try pressing it directly? you might not find it quick, but it's up there. does it respond normally now?

i fear there's a problem with the button then... if you're under warranty that shouldn't be a big issue...
The problem is that my screen broke a week after this problem started and I'm pretty sure fixing my screen will remove the warranty :-\

[Q] My infuse needs repair, pls help!

Hi,
My Samsung infuse has these issues:
Noise when calling (sometimes) like vrmm vrmmm
Hangs up calls when calling
Black screen out of the sudden and the buttom keys light up white. Pressing the power key will not bring the mobile phone back, only solution is to take out the battery.
This happens with all the firmwares, both factory and Cyanogenmod latest one, but still the same.
I read somewhere that this could be a wire that it's loose inside and that by opening the device and reconecting all the wires it should work fine. Any help will be much appreciated.
Well...start opening?

idk about the repair.
the best way to determine hardware issue is to running compete stock without microSD card and reset the phone from in the device.
if complete stock has issues and you want to open it, search youtube for repair infuse. you will see how

No problem! Glad it worked - I remember how frustrating it was when I stumbled across this issue myself.
Out of curiosity, did you end up using the same settings I used? Or did you have to use something different?
for me worked well in PS1 50 and PS2 60.

[Q] Sticky/Broken power button replacement

Last night I noticed my power button sometimes would not lock my screen on my phone. Even when it would, it would lock and quickly bring the screen back on. Even sometimes occasionally I would press the button once quickly and the power off/reboot menu would appear. This morning I found a tab for my quick settings panel that puts the phone into sleep and have been using it all day. This has been a real pita. Now my phone as I am using it randomly sleeps and then brings up the power menu. Is there any way to replace the power button? I found barely anything on YouTube on this and and not sure if it is an easy or hard fix. For now, is there an app that I can disable my power button so my phone does not make me rage?
-Thanks

You can buy a power button, but replacing it ...you need skill and tool (not recommend for an average user). Try to bang the button on a hard plastic surface like washer/dryer surface. A number of people reported success with this method.(this is real, not a joke),

Hmm.. I tried your method to fix it and it seems to have done nothing :/ thanks for the idea though. Also, do you know if any cellular companies would fix this part? I am rooted running the latest CM 11 nightlie and would like to not have to factory restore.

On the website you linked the repair cost is $150. I am not looking to spend near that. And the closest repair store near me is a little under an hour and a half away :/ Also, do you know of any apps to disable my power button?

I have to test it out first, but I think I can disable the power button, however, it's only a work around, you need to replace the button for a permanent solution. If under warranty, it's the best way to go.
