all calls default to speakerphone, any ideas?

Driving me insane. Doesn't matter what ROM I'm running, it does it 90% of the time for incomming and outgoing calls.
Anyone have any ideas?

Mine randomly does this as well. It's a rather unpleasant experience to have the speakerphone on @ your ear when someone responds to your answering the phone.

I've had mine turn on in the middle of a call once or twice. I thought I had somehow hit something not knowing it.

Had that problem. Believe it has something to do with the "car dock" mode. somehow it gets turned on or something. Don't really remember what I did other then try resetting it, pulling battery, or just smacking the crap out of it onto a table or something. I'm serious, not hard enough to break it but enough to fix it hehe. I'm actually pretty sure that's what I did lol.
Infuse w serendipity VII

I'm having this issue all of a sudden as well. All I know, is it didn't do it before I got the Gingerbread OTA update, and now it does.
Very annoying!

Same issue here. Running stock non-rooted GB. Also on wife's LG Phoenix. Could be something sent down from ATT?

Try going to settings - dock - remove check from Auto-launch. I'm wondering if it thinks for some reason it's docked and therefore defaulting to Speaker

Just found out that GoSMS was the problem. Updated on both phones and the problem is gone. They actually admitted to it with the update description.

I have the same issue. Went as far as flashing back to stock unrooted. Still occurred. I believe its a hardware problem with the usb on the phone. Something about the contacts crossing.

GoSMS Pro was doing it for me. Uninstalled and problem went away. I'm gonna reinstall to see what happens.

Just updated my GoSMS, and was surprised to see the issue came from there. It will be nice to not have to deal with this anymore!

Was there a solution to this issue? Because I have the same issue, but I do not have the GoSMS app.

If you read the thread you would have seen that the two causes of the problem were dock mode and also go sms. Not to mention this was dug up from 3months ago

Thanks for your reply.
Guess I should have mentioned dock mode does not seem to be whats causing it on mine.
I understand this was dug up from 3 months ago, but I am having the issue now was good back then.

Same happens with me... i hav removed dock mode also but still have speaker always on..
any solutions?

I recommend root and custom rom. Never had this problem since then.

Okey I am having this problem on every rom whether its ics or gb.
The culprit is carhome app.I have be after this problem since I got my inspire. It gave me whole lot of trouble. Latest one is force auto-rotate screen.
Another thing is u need original inspire charger and usb. If u have anyone thing which is not original. Carhome app will cause problems. Unfortunately my inspire charger and USB r broken.
The only solution is to open the rom zip delete carhome.apk and carhomeluncher.
How I come to conclusion.
I charged my phone then flashed aospx rom everything was fine no auto speaker, no forced auto rotation but as soon as I connected my USB carhome app pops up and
All these problem started to happen again.

Hi, I have the same problem with the New Att stock sense 3.0 (3.20.502.52) rooted ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810461
The Car Panel app was launching randomly, so I first froze it using root uninstaller, no more car panel launching, but my screen started randomly turning on while in sleep, so I completely uninstalled Car Panel, my screen still goes on sometimes, and it did not solve the speaker always on problem.
Cheers.

Once carhome starts there is no way to solve the problem.even after removing it problem remains.
Best solution is delete it from the zip before installing

I have found my screen won't stay off when I hold it up to my ear. Light sensor is very sensitive or my ear is shaped weird... Probably the later. I then think 'fat facing' because of this has attributed to random hangups and speaker phone engagements.

[Q] Is my Skyrocket defective? :(

Had it for about a little over a month now and rooted it with Doomlord's method about 2 weeks ago.
Experiencing the following two issues:
-Sim card notification pops up and says something along the lines of 'Sim card not inserted'. End up rebooting my phone and it works again. This has happened twice and I can't find any threads involving the Skyrocket and this.
-No data connection. Happened about three times now. Wifi works, but can't get packet connection (yes it is on). Again, have to reboot phone and then it will work. The weird thing is that when I first turn it on, everything is fine, but then I checked my phone a few hours later, and I found that my e-mail not reloading.
Anyone know what's going on? I don't have many apps installed either. Just Titanium Backup (not even Pro because I wanted to see what was up with my phone before I bought it), JuiceDefender, one game and GVoice. If this was a one time occurrence, I don't think I would mind, but the fact that it's happened two times is making me a little nervous.
Thanks for reading through all this!

If you are rooted try installing cmw and flashing a new rom see if you still have the issue mine has done what you are talking about. But just thought it was a bad flash of something. Haven't had it happen since I did stock recovery and flashed the rom i'm on now.

Go back to stock. If you have the same problem, call in the warranty. If you don't have the same problems then get another ROM.

I still have sim toolkit. At least it says I do. I haven't frozen or uninstalled anything since I took it outta the box to be honest. Just deleted some stuff from the widgets screen.
Also, what do you mean by Juice defender configuration? Should I uninstall and re-install?
As for the other replies, I've started to keep a record of the errors. Knock on wood that I won't have more...but we'll see. Only time I get a break is in March so I may have to wait it out.
One other thing: If I want to unroot, is using Doomlord's unrooting method safe? I noticed that under the list of phones that work, there's only one...
thanks again

i have the same problem right now, Just got the skyrocket couple days ago, I upgraded it, under our daughters line, But im using it. I need to activate it with the new sim, for her, then after its all done, can take the new sim out and put it back into her phone, and put mine back into the skyrocket.
Its rooted and thats it.

I froze Sim toolkit and haven't noticed any problems...

what state or area are you in?
i have this same problem, on 2 different phones and 2 different sims. voice will work fine but no data will flow. no email, no browsing, no apps, nothing. it started the day i got the 1st phone (in the at&t store parking lot). eventually it will start working again - browser goes thru, emails deliver, etc.
i rooted and did sky rom on that phone and the problem followed. talked to support, no help. returned to stock and exchanged for a new skyrocket and sim, the problem still exists.
i think there is an issue with either the skyrocket or somewhere on at&ts network. if i pull my phone out at 10 random times during the day and attempt a data connection, it will fail 2 of those 10 times.
very frustrating with no obvious answer in front of me. i don't have lte in my area, and i am in my 30 day window with att, so im thinking of returning skyrocket and going with plan s2.

[Q] Problem with Samsung phone performance

Been contemplating for a while whether to post this as it will come off as rather trollish. Had my Infuse for over a year now. When I first got it I noticed there were some "issues". I remained patient hoping or thinking maybe when GB was released it would improve. It did not. Later I needed to root this phone and came here, found a ROM that had all the AT&T junk stripped out. Phone worked better, but still had these issues.
I got to the point that I knew I would never again purchase either a Samsung phone or Android. Did not know what the culprit was. Just recently I had the chance to really take a look at an HTC EVO, and I realized that Samsung is the problem, not Android.
Number one issue is that this phone is sluggish, and sometimes unresponsive. I will touch whatever button and get that vibrating acknowledgement, but nothing happens. I will be in the app menu and wish to exist and the home button just does not respond.
Yesterday I missed a call because the bloody phone just did not respond, even though I touched the answer button. Other times I just can not make a call. I dial number, and the phone just sits there doing nothing. Eventually I just pull out the battery and restart the phone to make a simple bloody call. I had a HTC WinMo phone for years and never once experienced this. No matter how farked the OS could get with some app or whatever, the phone function always worked.
I do not run a lot of apps, and recently have experienced these issues with almost literally no apps installed. I will then add something like GO taskmanger just to confirm that the unresponsive behavior is not due to some app taking up memory/CPU etc..
Sorry for the long post, but I am at my wits end with this bloody phone. The fact that I miss calls when the **** phone is right in my hand is unacceptable. So before placing this phone in a box filled with C4 and shooting this to the moon, hoping that maybe a solution is out there.
p.s. I have 2 Infuse in use, both have the same issue.

What firmware are you running?
Is it the same firmware on both phones?
What is the launcher?
Have you tried a different modem?
Are you using a battery saver like juice defender?
Are you using an ad blocker?
Are you using a specific kernel? Oc? Uv?

You know, for the rather lengthy post, you really have not explained any detail about your issue.. You have a generic 'I have an issue, the Infuse sucks' post and its not going to help anyone resolve your issue. I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that you have 2 infuses having the SAME EXACT ISSUE. Yes, there will be times when you get a defective phone or it isnt working up to your standards, but to have 2 defective phones with the same defect? You need to play the lottery. Also, i suggest you send the phones back. It sounds like youve already made your mind up and have pretty much bashed the samsung infuse in that entire post. The same samsung infuse that myself, and plenty of other people live with day to day and have absolutely 0 complaints.

I will give you $20.00 a piece for them!!!!

Simple . Hack it and put cm7 on it if you really need speed. Maybe its your screen protecter. Wipe the screen off. Cm9 can be sluggish, for speed go to miui on gingerbread or cm7

Id be willing to buy one of the infuses
Trust me...sounds like you got two defective units...which like Scott, I find hard to believe...but hey its possible-idk when you got hem.but if it hasn't been a year then put them back to stock with gtgs unbrick and file a warranty claim with Samsung...the infuse is a great phone and I never had the problem you described...I do have a question though...did you get them both at the same time? Cause I don't see why you would get a second if your first was having problems
Anyways...if you wanna sell one hmu...I may buy one depending on the price and if I can get the money (I think I already may have one lined up for $170 just need to get the money)

Again this has been a recurring problem since purchase, and during this time I have had stock Froyo, rooted Froyo ROM, GB update, and for one now a the GB rooted ROM.
When the slow to unresponsiveness occurs there does not appear to be any specific cause. Prior to updating to the rooted GB I had used GO Taskmanager, and long before that some other app I long since forgot the name of. Point was that they had shown that neither CPU was excessive, or memory was used up. Both phones have data services disabled and are strictly Wifi only. There are no tasks or extra programs run in the background (though did install Connectbot today). I no longer use any Live wallpaper. After updating to the rooted GB I left the phone in that state (no software installed) for a week or so, and the problem still occured.
This occurs when calling or answering calls, but as previously posted occurs sometimes just opening the Applications menu as an example. So it is not a specific task or program that is slow or unresponsive. Earlier this evening I got a call, slide the bar across to answer and the screen just hung there for a few moments. This time it was at least not long enough that I missed the call. When the call was done I looked and there simply was nothing running on the phone. No apps, no web browser or mail, in fact I was not even connected to the wifi (I have data 3G/4G service disabled on the phone).

are you completely wiping before every flash youve done? have you tried a complete wipe and start from fresh?

Task manager is NOT the best app to tell you what is running in the background.
Maps and other location apps may not be listed but will consume resourse that can be the cause of your lag.
The fact that stopping wallpaper or live wall paper off alleviate the condition may suggest that the phone is running at max capacity. Steps to reduce the load improves it. Live wp, facebook, maps, stock email and other device manager from stock att was one of the first @#$% I took out on any rom I run.
Having a large amount of apps installed can also cause this lag. The OS may only be able to handle so many.
Have a poor signal at the time of the call may also be an issue, especially if both of your phones have this issue occasionally but not consistently.
Lock screen can also be a factor. Some sleep setting may also cause the phone to wake up poorly. I get around this by turning off my lock screen. On the call settings, you can also change the answering options so that it will override others and make it easy to answer.
On any firmware - stock or modded, after you have the phone running for an extended period of time without a reboot, you may start to see some lags. This may be across all devices. You may need to reboot it occasionally or boot into recovery and wipe the cache.
These issues may or not go away once you have a device with more power or resources..ex: dual or quad core, 1gb or 2gb ram etc..my guess is when a device has more power, programmers will come up with more resourse intensive apps that may hinder the phone as well.
Lastly, pay attention to your battery meter. As the power dips below 30%, there are steps taken by the OS to conserve the battery. This may give you lags as well..possibly one of the reason why it seems random also.
If you wanted to test out the lag issue due to background apps, go to settings/account and sync. turn off background data. You will retain the (radio) phone and text but there will be no email/facebook, weather, widgets/market/amazon etc updates unless you manually update them. If this runs smoothly but lags when you turn it back on, you can start the process of narrowing down your culprit.

Infuse 4g suddenly has no internet reception on cynogenmod 7

Hello everyone, I did do a search for my issue but found no solutions so I'm hoping someone out there can help me.
Phone: Samsung Infuse 4G on AT&T running Cyanogenmod 7
I just very recently started messing around with custom ROMs so bear with me. I may use some wrong terminology out of sheer noobness. Feel free to correct me.
A few days ago I put my phone to stock Froyo using GTG's ultimate un-brick. I did this because I wanted a fresh start. I didn't care If I lost my apps, I wanted to start over anyways.
I then rooted using SuperOneClick, and installed CWM using ROM Manager.
I then flashed Cyanogenmod 7 to my phone.
Everything was going great. Pretty much everything worked on the ROM and I was having a great time playing around with it and getting everything set up how I liked it....
until this morning.
I woke up, checked facebook using H+, so I know it was connected to the internet this morning, and then the next time I picked my phone up, it wouldn't connect to the internet! I didn't change any settings or anything between when it was working and when it stopped working. I did have Juice defender installed and if you have ever used that, it has a little shield icon in the status bar that tells you what it is disabling to conserve battery. It had a red circle next to it, indicating that it was disabling my internet. The drop-down also said something like "Data Disabled - (Data/User)"
So I tried disabling Juice defender. No luck. I completely uninstalled Juice defender and rebooted. Still no luck. The only change I had made to my phone recently was installing some crappy N64 emulator, so i uninstalled and rebooted, still no luck. I rebooted into recovery and cleared my cache. Still nothing.
So I'm kinda stuck. My internet suddenly decided not to work and I've tried everything I can think of trying short of going back to the stock ROM and doing it all over again.
So does anyone have any advice to offer?
P.S. - My phone signal works fine. I can send texts and make calls, I just cant get on the internet. No, I'm not in flight mode! :good:
Let me know if you need any other info to diagnose this issue. I've provided everything I can think of but I'm sure I'm missing something.

Also a completely unrelated issue: When I'm using my phone and plug it into a wall charger it becomes unbearably laggy. frame rate is in the single digits, buttons don't respond, etc. Any idea on that either?

Try getting rid of rom manager. I heard its borked. Go back to stock and flash the froyo community kernel through froyo. You can find it on the super everything thread. (That thread is stickied I believe)
That will give you cwm and from there you are good to go.
As far as the charging thing, my phone and my wife's phone does the same thing since the charger that came with my phone broke. Try a different charger.

[Q] What the heck happened?

So I was listening to Pandora and texting when suddenly my phone turned off the screen. It was still playing music so I tried to hit the lock button so it would unlock but it wouldn't I tried it a couple times and still nothing. I then waited and while and nothing..Then I took off the battery and it was still playing music as if it still had the battery...for like 15 seconds. Then it tried turning on over and over without the battery on. Now it wont turn on at all. I've tried connecting it to charger, taking out battery, nothing. What happened?

So no recovery mode no DL mode no response from the phone at all now correct?

I haven't tried either of those. If I connect it to the charger sometimes it will show the Samsung Boot Logo but then it won't move from there. I'll try recovery mode.
EDIT: Recovery Mode works

No it was not. Normal Temperature.

Try to force it into recovery or download first. Had you flashed a new ROM (doesn't matter which one) recently?

Almost sounds like just a freak thing man if you can get her into DL or recovery I would consider stock for a few days in case it was hw failure just to monitor it otherwise restore a backup or flash something and drive on
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

The ROM I'm running right now is CyanogenMod the latest stable one. And is there anything else I could do instead of restoring? Because I'm going to lose a ton of stuff..

Well you can hope it will reboot . But that seems unlikely
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

If you flash a new rom you won't lose your data. You'll only lose apps and settings and stuff. Which you can backup with recovery (unless you meant download) if you can't get to recovery there's not much you can do for your settings. But reflashing won't touch any pictures or anything on the internal sd card.

I'm not sure exactly what happened, perhaps a hard ware fault, but I am starting to believe there is more to this. I have seen the same thing happening quite frequently lately, and each device yes even my wife's iphone 4 did the same thing while she was listening to Pandora, as well as my niece with her Galaxy S II. Same as you experienced, she was listening to Pandora and was texting a friend, then the phone went dead.
So it is not localized to either iPhone or Android devices from the information I have been gathering. When I took my wife's iPhone to the apple store here in Anchorage, the rep I was dealing with informed me that they have had several in the last week that had the same issue, while doing the same thing as your device did. Of course all he could say was if it is under warranty they will give my wife a new one. So she did, just like many others.
I also spoke with Daniel @ Pandora and informed him of the same issue that was with my wife & nieces iPhones, as well as android devices. His reply was that Our app is not 100% designed for use with the latest iOS release, and not for android devices running Jelly Bean. We have had several complaints about this happening to both types of devices, you have to remove the battery and reboot the system. I asked him how to do that with an iPhone, and he informed me to "remove the back panel and the battery will pop out." After I laughed at him I reminded him that it is not possible for the AVERAGE user to remove the iPhone battery, but it is quite easily done on most Android devices.
Once I was able to get him to realize that the iPhone battery does not come out, he "remembered" that and informed me to uninstall the Pandora app, clear caches and reinstall the app. I then asked him how to do that since the screen would not come on? His reply was "well it looks like your phone is dead, you might want to go get a new iPhone. I informed him that I had already done so with my wife's iPhone but was working off of my nieces S II now. Ok, back through the script we go. Battery out, yadda yadda. Informed me that Pandora does not offer support for rooted devices or devices on UN OFFICIAL ROM'S, and JAILBROKEN iPhones.
I informed him I was working off of a bone stock Samsung Galaxy S II and that while my niece was listening to Pandora and sent a text message that is when the device was rendered useless. The S II was still dead screened at the time, and I had left the phone plugged into the wall charger for over 24 hours, so the battery should not be dead. Continued through the script with him, and finally I asked him, "Ok why is it that 2 different devices, running 2 different operating systems running the same Pandora app would both be rendered useless from listening to Pandora & sending a text?" His reply was We do not offer support for rooted devices.
Now I am not 100% blaming Pandora nor am I saying that their app is 100% at fault, but it is apparently an issue with the app itself possibly using too much system resources, and when another app wants some of those resources the Pandora app causes a force close that is not easily recovered from.
If your Skyrocket is still under warranty, or you bought extended warranty, I would highly recommend as above to return the phone to bone stock if at all possible, get all you need off of it that you do not want to lose, and run Pandora again, and see if it does the same thing, if so then return the device.

Interesting, so Pandora's app is not compatible with JB or iOS6. I'll have to take it off both my phones; TuneIn and iHeartRadio are better anyway lol

Interesting. I was listening to Pandora and running GPS. Mine froze up for a very long time, then rebooted itself.

Custom ROM flash failures
Hello,
I have Flashed ROMS with CWM recovery before with success, but recently have been getting failures. I can however, Flash with Odin still. The log I get with CWM REcovery is attached.

Search "adb" for backing up your current info before flashing anything.

That is what I was informed, but with hundreds of thousands of devices running JB I don't fully understand the issue there. It's good that your's rebooted itself. My nieces never rebooted, neither did my wife's. Again I am not sure of the issue, and would love to have a log of some one running it on their device, so that I could further investigate.

No worries, but now I get to go and buy my wife a NEW iphone 5. Again she was listening to Pandora, and received a text message (this was on her 4S). screen went out, sounds stopped, and the life of her 4S was extinguished. I think it was on purpose, so that she could get the i5. But never the less I was actually there this time when it happened.
POOF, dead. *sigh* now if only ALL iphones would do this I would be happy.

Damn. I think she did it on purpose too. I would've immediately uninstalled Pandora if I was her. She killed it on purpose!
