hello fellow phone people. I have this real nice dock i got for my AT&T Tilt.
The other day I got a call, and went to pick it up off the dock I realized I had started to talk into the thing before pressing the talk button. I don't know what I was thinking, I guess my brain thought I was dealing with a cordless phone (which auto-connects when you pick it up).
So I got thinking, why don't I code this ability into the phone, where it automatically initiates the call whenever the phone is removed from its jack while ringing? Or better yet, see if anybody has thought similarly and coded a solution for me...

Hi guys:
I am having some real trouble with talking on the phone on my PDA2k and my ear. Every time I talk on the phone (I talk a lot!!!), I end up with a bunch of applications open because my ear is touching the screen and launching all sorts of things.
The one that is really killing me is when my ear "dials up" another number while I'm on the phone.
I know, there are ways around this via handsfree, but sometimes you gat a call while our Jabra is charging or when your wired headset is in the car or somewhere else.
My obvious question is: is there anyway to lock the screen while you speak, so the touchscreen with the ears will not happen?
Thanks for any advice.

I think you may need new drivers for your ear.
A more expensive option is new ears (not to be mistaken for New years). This option is frowned upon and illegal in most places.
Funny.
I did find a solution in PPC Toys, which locks the screen to the touch. Works great.

27, You just made my xmas! Keep it real bro, soooo funny
Ever since I installed the AT&T leaked test ROM, my Fuze beeps twice when connecting on calls (right before the phone vibrates on connection). It only happens on outgoing calls that I make. I installed the new official AT&T ROM and it still beeps.
I've searched out there and found that some people had this problem with the HTC Wing. Alas, that registry fix does not work on my Fuze (cannot find the same key that they reference). I know other people are having this same issue (I've seen comments) but no one seems to have a solution.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
lol i wouldn't call it an issue , id mess with advanced config , im sure i saw something to do with the vibrating function there so maybe theres a beeping one too.

it's seriously the most annoying beeping sound I've ever heard on a phone...and it's loud! I seriously want my phone to stop doing this - so annoying.
Solution
So an update to my issue and how it was resolved.
At some point earlier this year I received a text message from an international phone number that I did not recognize (either Canada or Mexico I can't remember). There was no body to the text message, just blank delivered to my phone. I think this happened in late January or February. It was at this time, or shortly thereafter, that my phone starting "beeping" upon connecting phone calls. At the time, I had been trying different ROMs on my phone and believed it to be a ROM issue but it never went away, even with the new updated official ROM.
Fast forward to last week. I was looking over my detailed phone bill online and I noticed a line item called "OFFRCHSTDCMROAM" for which I was being charge $4.99 per month. I went back and looked through my billing history to see how far back this went and it first appeared on my bill in February. I called AT&T customer service to have the charge removed and my account credited for the past few months. They were more than willing to do this as neither they nor I had any idea what this charge was for.
Immediately after I get off the call with them I made a phone call and...no beep! Whatever that service was, it was the culprit in causing my phone to beep whenever it connected on outgoing phone calls. Now that's gone so is the beeping. So, if anyone else has this beeping problem they should check their detailed bill for this mysterious charge.
Hi, everyone.
I searched for this and didn't find anything, but it's a little hard to know what to search for.
I use WunderRadio to listen to Internet radio. A few weeks ago, the Video Out (TV Out) screen started popping up at random times, usually when I was tapping something on the menu or on the screen. When it did, it was almost impossible to close and it really messed up my listening.
Some days it wasn't too bad. Sometimes, when it got really frustrating, a soft reset would stop it temporarily (or at least slow it down). When it was at its worst, though, nothing helped, and it was impossible to listen to WunderRadio.
It wasn't only in WunderRadio that this would happen--it would pop up occasionally in other applications, as well. But it was the most frustrating by far in WunderRadio.
I recently did a hard reset, so I only had a few applications installed. I first assumed that this was being caused by WunderRadio, so I uninstalled it. I still kept seeing that Video Out screen.
I selectively uninstalled applications and thought a couple of times that I had identified a program that was causing the problem. However, it kept coming back, seemingly regardless of what was installed or uninstalled.
A few days ago, this stopped happening. I haven't seen the Video Out screen a single time. I don't know if it has fixed itself (I doubt it) or whether it will suddenly reappear.
At this point, it seems like this could be due to faulty software, firmware, or hardware.
In July, I had a similar thing going on. I don't know if it was related to this or if this is just a coincidence. The phone all of sudden decided that it wanted to redial the last number called--over and over again! I would think I had it stopped, put the phone in my pocket, and get a call from a contact asking if I had called them. No, I hadn't, but my phone had!
As with the Video Out problem, sometimes a soft reset would help. Often, however, I ended up just having to turn the phone off for a few hours, then cross my fingers and try again.
With both of these problem, I was hesitant to send the phone in for warranty repair, because they were both so unpredictable that the repair shop would probably be unable to make either of these symptoms appear. My fears have since been borne out by the fact that both problems seem to have been solved--at least semi-permanently.
On the other hand, either or both of these problems could come back at any time!
Can anyone tell me what's going on here and what I can do about it?
Thanks in advance!
Are you using a wired headset? Maybe the pins are a little off and acting like the tvout cable USB pins and that's triggering it.
You should try to think if there is any correlation between a wire headset and this activity.
Also, do you actually use TV-out? You can just disable it entirely by a registry tweak so it won't be able to popup if that helps.
If you need anything further feel free to PM me since it's unlikely I'll find this post again
Good point! Yes, I am using a wired headset--most often when I'm listening to WunderRadio--which would explain why it happens most often when I'm listening.
I switched from headphones to earphones the other day, and that could very well be the reason it's no longer happening.
It's either the headphones or your USB port that's bad. But since you've said the problem has went away with new headphones, I'd say it's those. But it's a guaranteed hardware issue, although not necessarily the phone.
I had the same problem - TP would switch to TV Out mode randomly when mini usb was used (either charge or headphones). Mine needed a new usb socket, although I think theyyyyy jutssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst swap the whole board. And I know it's off topic but can someone point me in the right direction to sort out my keyboard problem above?!

hehe does your keyboard repeat too quick? Settings - Personal - Buttons and reduce the repeat rates on 'up/down control'...on and stop eating so much candy while playing with your phone
hey everyone,
I am new here but i have been along time windows mobile user and I've always had samsung pda's hence thts where sammyluva comes from.I just got the tp2 yesterday and I realized when the screen is tilted and I touch the screen with my finger it wiggles back and forth. is defected or is tht normal.
Also at one point I had my headset connected and i got a call. picked up no sound at all, almost like it was on mute. I soft reset it and it worked. Has this happened to anyone else?
GPS lag is there as well. I heard some people did a hard reset, did this work and improve the gps lag?
thank you in advance everyone!
Never had the wiggles on the tilted screen, interesting.
Headset? More info needed!
Lag is improved out of the box over prior models, but what app are you running? If it's a 3rd party paid app, you might want to download the fix from HTC.
Google Maps picks up within a few seconds, and works much better than any other phone I have had (iphone or other htc models!). Driving, you get a little lag, but that's probably the best it will ever get.
Hello Syntrix, the screen doesnt wiggle by itself, but when its fully tilted and you touch it with your finger it moves back and forth. Not sure if its normal or not as i've never had pda with a tilt screen before.
As for the headset, I was wearing a regular headphone and I got a call when I answered the call I couldnt hear the person that called and they couldnt hear me. I soft reset and it didnt happen since.
For the gps, I am using TOM TOM 7 and the lag was very bad today that its almost useless to use it as a gps.
Not a headset problem but I lost sound from the speaker while connected to the cars BT. I reset the phone and it fixed itself. Last night while home, I lost all sound and had to reset. Stock VZ TP2.
sammy, i have same problem with the wiggle. It has gotten worse over time. wasn't there when i first got it. now it no longer clicks in to place tilted back to flat. wiggles all the time.
i got a replacement from verizon under the 30 day worry free, same problem. I called HTC they said it shouldn't do that. the rep had one in front of him and said it stayed stiff. very frustrated ...love the phone but i guess I just live with it until next phone.
hello everybody,
I have this problem that is driving me ( and my girlfriend, and my family and my clients) completely crazy!
I have a Clarion CZ309E carstereo. It is a wonderful thing with USB, SD, AD2P, Front-AUX and even CD and (yes! Hard to believe! FM-radio!)
But now the bad thing: every call I make using Bluetooth is rendered useless after 4 minutes and 50 seconds. What happens is:
a call is initiated (no matter inbound or outbound)
music drops (CD, USB, A2DP are paused as they should be)
sound of conversation drops after exactly 4 minutes 50 secs
call connection stays (on both sides, all hear this deafening silence....)
manually ending the call will bring back the music and allow for making a new call
. And then it starts all over again.
What have I tried so far:
This happens with a HTC Hero (8 different ROMS in several versions), HTC Desire HD, Samsung SGH-550, Samsung SGH-i320, Samsung SGH-400,
I have (re)installed the radio about 50 times
I have hard-resetted it a hundred times
Read The F*cking Manual ( I can cite it by heart now).
I have paired and re-paired the phones a hundred times
This happens only with calls, music, navigation, listeningbooks go on forever.
Bluetooth earpiece or other devices connected with the phones do not show this behaviour
Been surfing for months now trying to find any information. Nada.
Is there anyone, anyone that can help me? I am very hesitating to bring it back to the shop where I bought it (mediamarkt Hengelo), I have bad experiences with returning stuff....
(I had bought a certain type of carstereo that would die off immediately when connecting a phone to the USB. Even though I could find through the internet that this was happening very very often, they made me bring it in three times, waiting 6 weeks each time to get a new one that would day off the first day anyway. The third time I installed the thing on the parkinglot, connected my phone and brought it in again without even leaving the parkinglot Only then they acknowledged that there was a problem and they offered me this Clarion .
instead. So you understand that my hopes for a solution are not too high)
What do you think the solution to this situation could be?
Thanks for thinking with me!
Henro
Nobody?......
I whispered and the wind blew this message towards you....
Stoopid question or does no-one have a clue?

*shrug*
Sounds like a head unit problem. You say that you can recreate the problem with different roms and different phones. You don't have the problem when using other bluetooth accessories.
I'm guessing no one is responding because no one can think of a way that your phone would be causing this problem.
@digi760,
U are probably right.
I thought it might have to do with a2dp but it happens also with phones that do not have that 'profile'. I am trying to find a common denominator, having no success...
The manufacturer blames the phones..... I am kinda stuck in the middle here....
Grtz Henro

I'm Sharing your pain.
I have the same unit and the same problem. 4.50 mins and it drops out. It does this on a Samsung phone, a Nokia and a Blackberry so the problem must be in the unit.
Will keep chasing the problem. Let you know if I find something.
Jon.
Thanks
