Hi everyone!
Ok, so it's cool that when i put the phone upto my ear, the accelerometer automatically answers the call, and when I set it down it ends the call.. what's not cool is if I pick the phone up quickly, it tends to answer the phone without it being to my ear.. to people I don't want to talk to, instead of giving me a chance to b***h button them, lol.
Anyways, is there a way to turn this off or adjust the sensitivity?
Thanks!
are you sure it answers from you putting it up to your ear?
i tried it with mine and it didnt work...unless you aren't using the at&t stock rom
Yea this is a stock ATT rom, I picked up the phone a few days ago... I'm not touching the answer button to my face either... hmmm...
It's the application Gyrator 2... BLAH.. Thanks anyways guys!
Yes I had the same problem and just unloaded Gyrator2 it is was cool. it made my phone pick up on its own even when I am not even moving it. hopefully Gyrator2's creator can fix this problem...
Actually, if you goto Menu / Events / and delete the Pick up event in the Gyrator 2 app, it will disable it, and you can still use the nice auto rotate stuff!
Ooo I didn't know Gyrator could do that! That's nifty!
Is there any way to completely turn off the accelerometer?
stick ur phone into a microwave for a few minutes.. that should do it hah jkin DONT DO IT!

Okay, I have searched it but there was no answer corresponding to Atrix 2.
A call is coming and I want to silence it. I will not cut it because I dont want caller to know that I deliberately cut his call. In E71 there if I press right menu button, i can silence all calls (which stops vibration + ringtone in between). How do I do it for Atrix 2? This is not for all callers, I should be able to decide whose call I want to silent at that particular moment.
I dont want temporary/workarounds like keep it in silent mode/press volume button all the way downwards, etc. Thanks.
Press power button. Silences the call and locks the screen with out hanging up.

Just Press the volume up button once when you are getting a incoming call it will silence the ringer.

Question:
I dont know who deleted my post which said that my screens automatically shuts off. So i adjusted my screen timeout to 1minute. But still the screen turns off after 5 seconds. This is very annoying because I keep my phone on table, reading something on it, and suddenly the screen turns off after 5seconds. Help !

I am thinking of simple things first, make sure that you are not on maximum battery saver mode. Go to settings --> battery and data manager --> battery mode --> select the performance mode..
See if this solves the problem.. if it doesnt then let me know if you have installed any battery miser kind of apps.

Ok, will try that. Meanwhile, other issues:
1) I downloaded the facebook app. But it never logs in. It keeps on saying "loading". Similarly, when I try to sync social networking app/widget, youtube doesnt sync. It says "youtube sync failure". Why is that?
2) I recieve an SMS containing a mobile number. In E71, I could select the number and save it to a contact. This is not possible in Atrix 2. When I recieve an SMS containing a mobile number, there is no option to save it. This is the basic requirement of an SMS. Any ideas?

Pattern lock?
Is there a pattern lock feature for A2 like in case of galaxy s2 and iphone? If yes, how to enable it? All I have is number/passcode lock feature. In IPhone, the passcode is 4 digits and after that we dont have to press enter key, but in A2, i have to enter passcode and then press enter key (which is too much of extra pain).
Settings --> location & security --> setup lock screen --> pattern
Just dig into settings you will find everything you want.

Pattern option is "disabled by device administrator".
I see what is happening here. Since I had setup my phone to use my office email, i have having such problems like screen automatically shutting down and inability to use pattern lock !!
Thats my best guess.

yes, that is because you are now forced into a corporate security policy. No way around that unless you stop using your office exchange account on your device. an easier way is to forward your mail to gmail, and setup a way to do this over https. This is all on the gmail site, so don't ask how to do it in here.

This should have been the first thing that you posted, little info like this my friend is vital..
Android gives you freedom, use it and start exploring.. it doesnt mean that people here dont like noobs, everybody here started pretty much as noobs, i still consider myself a noob. But what everybody expects here is, do your bit before asking questions.. explore the your mobile, search the web, even then if you cant figure it out, then search the forums even if you cant find it then post your query.
No offense and sorry if i may have hurt you..

All u hv2 do is to PLAY with ur fone dude ....

So I installed a new sandisk 16gb card microSD card yesterday (after formatting it first in PC, then in phone) and put some songs in it. More problems started:
1) Randomly, the phone says "no sim card". I have to restart the phone to get my sim card working. This is frustrating.
2) When I woek up in morning, the phone was dead. Something drained the battery to 0%. Why?
3) The notification was automatically set to some random song. Why?
Have you tried taking out the memory card.. see if it solves your problem.. though few things are strange in your case, but take out your new memory card out.. and pls dont ask why because there are already ample threads on "class 10 memory cards not working with A2"

Hey guys
I have a little problem on my desire s and I hope somebody on here can help me out, I'm sure the devs here probably could do something about it. These guys, if anyone in the world.
So the problem is I think my phone's charging port is broken or something because my phone always thinks it's in car mode. Which means auto rotate is always on even if I disable it from settings, and phone automatically goes to speaker phone whenever I make or receive a call and I have to manually make it go to normal right after making or accepting a call.
I understand that cleaning the port etc might work and looking for anything stuck in it. I've done all this and it did not seem to work sadly.
Now let's say I don't have any other way to fix this. I don't mind having to manually turning off speakerphone mode when I make a call but what really pisses me off is the autorotate.
Is there any way to permanently disable auto rotate altogether? I'm sure there must be a way. It's annoying because when I'm lying in bed I can't use my phone as it'll just auto-rotate when I lie to my side and look at the phone.I really need to find a fix for this as it's really bothering me.
Can someone please find a way to permanently disable autorotate altogether? I'm not a dev but I can pretty much do anything once I'm given a decent guide to do it. Please, anyone!? I will send you cookies.
Thanks for hearing me out.
The regular auto-rotate disable in phone settings doesn't work for you?
Allow Mock locations. And annoying "hold" on calls every time phone put up to my ear.
I have a galaxy s6.
SM-G920I to be exact
Running marshmellow
I have enabled developer options
I can not find the option allow mock locations at all.
It used to be there before the update.
I have tried resetting the device.
It seems the option has completely vanished.
Is there any way to bring the option back?
The only mock location option is the option to select a single app.
So have they done away with the option. And just included the option to select a single app?
Ps I'm sure the mock location option was there on my old s6.( Identical model and carrier also software version was also Marshmellow same build)
Also
Is there any way to reduce the touch sensitivity on this device. I know there is on the s5.
Every time I call and put the phone upto my ear it places the call on hold. Very embarrassing.
I'm deaf in my left ear so I need to use my right ear..
But every time I do. My ear touches the hold button.
I've tried searching for an app that replaces the in call screen. I've tried apps that "reduce sensitivity" there must be something I can do? Even move the hold button?
I don't want to root my phone as its only a month old.
I'd only root if I can guarantee the Knox counter won't trip.
I'm aware the hold issue is very common however have not been able to find a resolution.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have searched Google for answers but can't find anything.
Thanks
Proximity sensor isn't being triggered correctly, not an uncommon problem. Most blame it on how the phone is held.
As a workaround, hit the power button before putting the phone up to your ear, to lock the screen.

Lately my phone answers incoming calls too easily. Just the slightest touch anywhere on the screen answers the call. The green dot means nothing anymore. I keep my phone in my pocket and now many calls are answered by simply pulling the phone fro my pocket. Is there a way to truly lock the screen or make it more difficult to unintentionally answer a call?

You mean like lock in the box? That seems useless. I do have a cover. If moving the green dot answered the phome, that would be fine. But any touch to the screen answers it now. Something changed in recent updates.
I mean like a wallet type of case.
You have checked the phone setting that there isn't option to answer with a key?
Also some Accessibility setting might help...

I can't find any setting for answering a phone call. Several configuration settings have seemed to have been removed with recent updates. Not just with answering but also with data control.
Accessibility.. "motor and cognition" in my LG.
Touch control areas --> make most of the area in phone app not responding to touch.
Touch and hold for calls -> is it on? If not, try it and change the "touch input" time to much much longer..
These I found ... might work.. depends..

Thanks for replying. I do not have a touch control area setting. I do have a touch and hold delay, but changing that setting did not help.

Certainly isn't an issue on my fully updated, stock 4a. Check Accessibility settings. If no joy reset you phone
I switched my Dialer to a third party and the problem cleared. I guess the stock dialer just became too sensitive. Not sure why Google did that.
