everyone knows that pro in facedown...

everyone knows that pro in facedown make mute a call. today i received a call during a meeting, putted down my pro and it silenced that call. but i forgot the raphael face down for an our and it silenced 3 calls. this kind of function is extremely usefull.
But i thought, the risk in forgetting the phone facedown is to miss a lot of calls.
my request:
Is possible to create an app that when receiving a call facing down, the flash led (flash is present near the camera in the back of raphael) start to blink intermittently i don't know, every 30second or boh... don't know.
i think can be usefull.
Sorry for my terrible english in describing my thought..
I'm waiting your opinion..

+1 for that idea.

hmmm? mine only does it when i turn it face down. if its just sitting there face down it still rings.
thats weird

Yes, but it's hidden in the registry. The easiest way to change it is using AdvancedConfig.

Mine too. And thats the normal behavior.

I think the flash LED might get a two annoying depending on the brightness.
I would think that if it just silenced the current call then after a designated amount of time it makes the phone go into vibrate mode. That way you aren't liable to miss any calls. However, I think the only problem with vibrate is that it would be annoying as well, unless it was just one quick one each call.

[REQUEST] [APP] speaker switcher?

Hey guys i currently upgraded from the nokia n900 to the nexus one. I had this great app on the n900 where it used the proximity sensor to switch the phone call to speaker when its away from your face and then switch back to the regular phone "ear" speaker when its against your face. I tried looking for something like it i downloaded "smart call" and it kinda works but it uses the accelermeter to determine the phones orientation. any help is appreciated THANKS!

This is a surprisingly good idea...

I really want this function also.
I had this in my Touch Pro2 but that used both proximity sensor and accelerometer so when i put the phone on a table with the screen down it started speakerphone. As soon as I picked it up it changed back.
Really good feature if you´re put in hold, waiting for someone to answer.

+1
Brilliant idea.

Ya its great! so basically when the screen turns on when you pull it away from your face so does the speaker lol i think its simple enough for the developers to create right?

nothing?

deng 200 views and no love.

You might want to try asking this in the Tasker thread. I'm not familiar with the program, but it might be able to do what you want.

+1 This is a great idea. I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with Time Warner and was on hold 5-6 times, this would have been handy.

I know for a fact this would suck on my n1. The only noticeable problem i have on my n1 is my prox. sensor sucks, alot of the time it thinks that my head is away from my phone and i end up muting myself and not realizing it and then getting hung up on. Very annoying

Mine does the same thing, but like djstoffe had on his Touch Pro2 we should implement the accelerometer so we don't get any 'false alarms'.

After a 12 hours working day I needed to relax a bit...
I just decided to write the app as I like the idea but I'm not sure on the concept how to use it... have to sleep about it.
Anyway you can play with the attached apk and if you would post me a logcat, that would be nice and i can see on which devices/rom's it doesn't behave like on my Nexus with CM6...
Code:
adb logcat|grep SpeakerProximity
Just fire up the app and there is a preference view where you can set it on or off with a combobox.
It's working on my phone but as I'm sleepy I can't test it any further but if you like the app and think it could be usefull, just post your comments and I see that I turn it into a optimized app (this is just a quick afterwork writedown)
Before I forget, I will post the sourcecode after I cleaned up my mess and maybe also write a short tutorial on how I did write this app ;-)

WORKS GREAT THANKS!!!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Thanks so much for stepping up and making this, rac2030. I just tested it on my phone and it works great!

Works like a charm!! Thumbs up!!!

Hmmm... scary that it's working without probs... did test it today a bit but expected bugs: because I was tired and just wrote out of my head.
Could you guys feed me some lolcat to see if the values are always right or as I asumed?

Ok came across a problem. Is there a way that the app keeps running but disables when the Bluetooth is connected to a headset? The other day I was using my jawbone and it kept switching from speaker to the jawbone.

I will take a look at it, sounds like a good idea...
Note to myself:
- Disabling the speaker switch if headset is connected (bluetootht and wired)
- proximity monitoring should be handled in a proper service that starts with the accept broadcast of the call and ends itself after the end call broadcast
- grabbing it upsodedown (based on G senseor) switch microphone on and off (as a second option in app)

I'm running into a couple problems with the app on my Nexus CM6.
It is functioning properly except for the screen and speaker button. I called myself from Gmail and answered like normal with the phone up to my ear, working so far, then I took the phone away from my head and the screen came on and switched to speaker perfectly, but after that if you put the phone back up to your face the screen doesn't turn off and the speaker button remains green (as if it were still on speaker phone).
Like I said, it switches back and forth from speaker to no speaker flawlessly, so that part is working great. Any one else experiencing this?
Also, it would be amazing if we could utilize the tilt sensor so that if you wanted to set the phone on the table, screen down, it won't switch back to in ear.

Have to test this, thx for the info.
Note to myself:
- add tilt Sensor and dont switch back if in speaker and get flipped (make this optional in settings screen)

Talking With Speakerphone

I was driving on the freeway today and talking on the phone with the speaker phone setting on, and the other person kept saying it sounded like I was getting disconnected. However, when I was at a stop or driving slower (without much background noise) it was fine.
Has anyone else ran into this issue? Or any issue using the speaker phone for phone calls?
Talking on the phone through the earpiece worked fine.
I'm trying to figure out if this is a hardware issue so I can get an exchange.

What do you mean it sounded like you were getting connected? Like clicking or words cutting off or just dead silence with no background noise?

They described it as if I was kind of like under water and my voice was bubblely...and a lot of noise in the background...

[Q] Mic cuts out?

EDIT: Covering either one of the mics distorts sound in a phonecall.
Problem solved

I have been noticing this since I got the phone last week and I couldn't really figure out why it was happening.
During a phone call I finally found out that the recipient couldn't hear my voice properly, even though I hadn't changed my tone at all, when the phone was kept in a landscape manner.
Has anyone else been having the same problem?
I'm guessing this is a software that, if it has been signaled to Google, could be fixed with an update.

I have similar issues. When I'm lying down in bed and the phone is almost upside down with that top mic port touching the pillow under my head, people can't hear me at all. The bottom mic stops working or something. I have to make room between the phone and the pillow to get them to hear me again. Hopefully a software/noise cancellation issue.

I figured out the problem. I was simply covering the secondary mic (top of the phone). I did a few trial and errors and found that was the problem. So no hardware/software issue, it was just a simple case of mishandling the phone
I hope this is the same for you! :victory:

Thank you! I was wondering why this was happening. I had the phone upside down so the top mic was touching the pillow.

Why it should happen? it is not like this in other phones. the top microphone is for talking on speaker mode. why the bottom microphone stops working when you are laying down?
it is weird.

So, this morning, when i tried to make some calls ( or others call me) my mic is dead also (and everywhere else, google now, video/sound rec -just hiss-) only works when the speakerphone is on, then it works fine, when i close the speaker from the call, mic is dead...
The noise cancelation is not covered with anything ( tried to also cover it with my finger to test) and nothing works... only when the speaker on calls is on...
Anyone found anything about this ?

I have exactly the same issue. Did you resolve it with your phone?

Yeah... The noise cancelation mic was dead. I had to replace it... It was about 30 euro

Thanks for the reply. Very interesting. I have read so much about this issue and this is the first time I have heard that the noise cancellation mic had to be replaced. Where did you pick up the part? Did you do the repair yourself? Any tips or guidance?

i got it from LG, replaced it myself, its nothing much if you got some tools to correctly open the phone.

[Q] Stuttering audio with bluetooth

Hey!
My English are not the best but after allot of searching and testing I really need help and turning me to you!
I have a problem with audio stuttering when using any kind of speakers/headset (SBH50 and a Sony wirelesses speaker) with bluetooth. It works great if I have the mobile on the table right beside me, but if I then lets say puts the mobile in my pocket the stuttering appears instantly. If I then put my hand over my pocket the audio stops and if I then remove my hand the audio comes back stuttering.
I have tried turning off the Wifi, 3G, updating the mobile and the headset, restore both the headset and mobile.
I have the latest update, android 4.4.4 but I got my mobile back yesterday after sending it in on warranty and they changed the motherboard of the mobile to a new one. Before I turned it in the audio was clear and working but it wasn't updated to the latest update from Sony, i am not sure if that could cause this problem?
If you have any information on this that could help me I would be very happy!

This has always happened to me. I can set my phone aside and bluetooth will be perfectly clear, but as soon as it goes in my pocket and I start moving, it will stutter a lot. I always thought it was just how Bluetooth worked, something about static electricity or the warmth of your leg. It seems normal to me, but mine could be malfunctioning as well, who knows?

That is the exact problem I am having! The warmth or static electricity should not affect this, you should definitely have it check out! I am going back to the retailer today and turning it in for the fourth time... But the last repair was there last try so I am getting a new phone and I am sorry to say that my confidence with Sony Z3 is gone with the wind and I will take a Samsung S5 this time instead..

Honestly it doesn't matter to me, I've found many ways around it. I either deal with the slight stuttering having it in my pocket, or put it in my jacket front pocket (which solves the issue), or just set it down somewhere. I love the phone too much to have it traded in for anything that small.

Got the same thing, has anyone tried buying some phone pouch? did it work?
