Shake to answer phone call

This is a great feature on the iPhone, is there anyone know if there is such that kind of app which make you answer your phone calls by simply shaking it? I'm dying to know if there is one, I can only find shake to mute or change phone states, shake to flash but not to answer phone calls. Thanks very much in advance

[Q] Noise

Anyone hear a small rattle on the bottom left corner if you shake the transformer? Very quite but I can hear something loose in there
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

yes! I have something actually moving inside mine. Can hear it sometimes when you rotate the unit. Posted a thread but nobody else seemed to have the same problem. Trying to decide whether to send it back as I have no other problems at all (including no light bleed!) .
I reckon its a bit of plastic moulding ...... if only you could remove the back!?!

Mine its good too. Low light bleed. Just don't want it to end up being a bad defect that presents itself later on. Plus every time I rotate the unit il hear it. so just us 2 hey....wierd....quick everyone go shake their transformers and see

sounds like the rotation sensor for orientation? My Acer had the same sound. Sounded like it sliding.

It moves tho. If I shake it one way it will stop until I shake it the other way.

Flip to mute

Did you know if someone is calling you, you can flip your phone around and it will mute the ringtone but it won't decline the call.
Hope this helps someone

Didn't know that. Thanks for the tip.

You guys need to read the manual and poke around the settings more.

Did you know if you flip it during a call it will activate the speaker?
Ah, all this fun, and much, much more

Yeh, and there are two tiny holes at the back of the phone, those are the microphones when you talk on loud speaker

Nice feature imho

I use the feature almost everey day, i get a lot of unknown callers

And also I like the fact that when you pick up the phone in your hand the ring volume decreases and doesn't bother others and also when the phone is in you pocket or purse it rings louder with each ring.
really like the HTC subtleties

This flipping thing actually IS a neat feature of HTC Sense. Has anyone experience with this behaviour on custom roms with Sense 3.0 (e.g. Virtuous). Does it still work?
Thx in advance.
(Just S-OFFed & rooted my stock 1.47.401, so I'm actually a little bit eager to wreak some more havoc! )

SMS Screen On Notification

I can't seem to find a way to turn off SMS Notifications briefly turning on my screen. It's extremely annoying when I'm listening to music with the phone in my pocket and I get a text message and then it starts flipping through my songs because the screen is on and my pocket is rubbing against the track controls. I can't seem to find an option to turn it off.

Nobody knows?

i think if you use a third party sms app, it will turn it off for the stock app

Yeah, I had been using Handcent but I really like the default app, I just hate how it turns the screen on. I guess it's back to Handcent for the time being =/

Handcent can turn of the notification.
But I'm sure you already know that.

always thought handcent didnt look right to me. it always felt out of place, but i havent used it in quite a while.
i know that when i used it i was NOT a fan of the ads. GO SMS PRO does everything i want, and then some. does it free, and it looks good with a quality interface.
i will evaluate handcent again, but i doubt it will sway me

No ads anymore. And I use the iPhone look. Does what it's supposed. I don't think I change.

[Q] Weird clicky noise when typing?

Hey guys,
Over the past few weeks I've realized a weird clicking noise when typing text messages. I do have "Vibrate feedback" enabled. Every time the phone vibrates from touch feedback, not only do I hear the normal sound of the vibration, but also an audible clicking noise. Is this normal? This sound was never an issue prior to a week ago.
Thanks

I get that too. It sounds like it's coming from inside the phone, not the speaker. But I think it's a common HTC one x flaw, because there are ALOT more people who have it also.

Try settings, language & keyboard, HTC Sense input, sound feedback.
On or off?
Sorry if I'm being captain obvious here, but I've overlooked simpler things myself.

probably the camera lens. put your ear next to the lense and lightly shake your phone. it's how the phone was designed

The noise surely isn't coming from the speaker. Maybe something loose within the phone? The lens noise is something I've noticed from the start, but this is unrelated.
Not something that is crazy annoying, but I was wondering if others had the same issue. Shaking the phone won't replicate the noise, and when I turn "Vibration feedback" off, the click will go away upon touching the screen.

It's a defect with the vibration motor. Of the 5 HOXs that I've gone through, 3 of them had it including my current one. It's annoying but it's the only problem my HOX has so I'm dealing with it.

Luckily I don't have this because I'm typing all the time. Seriously a lot. The camera lens click did worry me at first before I read this thread.
I occasionally get a clicky screen on the top though. Don't really press up there much.

yeah, it's how they designed it. I'm not sure the reasoning, but I do know that it was intentional

Using Swiftkey, I noticed that if I had my vibration duration too low (I think the default is 10ms) I would get the clicking and barely any vibration. Ramping it up at 20ms makes the vibration actually noticeable and the clicking stops. I think it may be the latency between you hitting the screen and the vibration motor kicking on that causes the clicking since (pulling numbers out of nowhere here...) the vibration motor may take 9.9ms to kick on after receiving a vibrate signal but at 10ms it receives an off signal so it just studders and causes a clicking noise.

Yea I get this too. This is my 3rd hox and all three have had it. I stopped worrying about it too much since I realized it has to be common. I noticed it after flashing different rooms since the vibration feedback when typing seems to feel more pronounced than on stock sense.

SwiftKey you can edit your own feedback. I set it to 20-25ms and it's fine.

I have the SAME exact thing. Definetely not the camera lens. Seems to be near the bottom of the phone. It's this clicky, poppy, tapping noise as if you are pulling apart two sticky objects. I agree that it seems like the vibration motor.

I had it on my desire gsm. I think its due to vibration kicking in.
Well I can try later, keyboard vibration off and see if it makes a click.
But never did annoys, I'm loving it actually, just like a typewriter.

Guys. It's the vibration feedback when typing. The response time must be different than the program time and it only kicks a little. I set my SwiftKey keyboard to 25ms vibration when typing. It's very nice. No clicks because it gives it enough time to vibrate and it feels good. Trust.

I'm have this same problem on a new HT 27 batch model. This is not just a SwfitKey typing issues a the capacitive buttons and the dialer all make the same clicky noise. I getting really bored of swapping my HOX now this is my third and what I thought was perfect is not. I will have to send my to HTC as it's out of the 28 days grrrr.

Mine has the same problem, it sounds and feels really wrong like it's scraping against something. I heard a friend who has the EVO 4g LTE say he has the same problem.
Makes me feel really bad about the phone, like they didn't care enough to test it properly.

Mine also does this if the vibrate feedback is enabled. I just disabled it and now I'm fine.

Thank you i was searching everywhere but not within this setting.

I have an HT25 i never get a click but aosp roms have much more intense vibration then sense roms. Wish i knew how to lower the intensity in CM10 and other aosp roms.
