When I place a call, I have like 1-2 seconds to press the speakerphone button before the dial-pad slides up over the button. That's way too short of a time and causes me to have to click the "X" to close the dial-pad, so I can see the speakerphone button then press it.
Very bad UI - there is plenty of room to display the dialpad and commonly used functions like the speakerphone, etc.
So, is there any mod/setting that would prevent the keypad from automatically covering all the other buttons behind it after 1-2 seconds of a call connect?

Dial pad does not (re)appear uncommanded on my stock device. Something else is triggering this behavior.
I think I know what happened...
If I dial a "contact", then the dialpad does not automatically pop-up.
But if the dialpad is showing, and I tap and hold on the "1" key to call my voice mail, the dialpad will disappear, then the options buttons appear (including the speakerphone button), but as soon as my phone connects to voicemail, it pops-up the dial pad and covers up the speakerphone button.
I can sort of understand why it might be doing this (because you'll probably need the dialpad to interact with voicemail), but often I like to listen to my voicemail on speakerphone, and just a 1-2 second window to tap the speakerphone button before the dial-pad appears is not enough time.

Hi All,
Is there a way to edit Smartskey to allow using one of the hardware buttons to trigger the Speaker On/Off option?
Thanks!
Speakerphone?
It's already hardware button binded to press and hold green call button, during a call. Handy in the car when your bluetooth headset needs a charge, quick press the green button to answer, then immediately press and hold to switch to speaker.
Or do you mean use the speaker for other purposes?

Tried it on my ETEN X500 and it places the call on hold instead.
In addition I'd like to be able to switch to speakerphone whenever, meaning
When I receive a call or place a call myself.
Not sure about Eten phone, but HTC's phone (most if not all), you will have to press and *keep holding* the green button long enough (while on call). Pressing it will give you 'Call on Hold'. Alt, you try PhoneAlarm .. or PocketPhone Zen (something like that) that gives you profiles (like Nokia phone) that enables you to have the option of getting speaker phone automatically upon receiving.
Is it possible to disable the "hold" feature on the call status screen? I'm left handed and every time I pick up a call my face touches the screen and puts the call on hold.
Or can i change the HOLD button's position on the keypad?
Call Status Features (When i make a call):
Speaker On Mute Hold
Note Contatcs End
Thanks!
Haha, funny, but I want to find the answer to this too. I sometimes End the call or press Speaker On when it touches my face.
try to find caller from forum Development and Hacking with somethig like a slide locking features off caller... i think it's from opal but i dont relly sure
Easiest, since it's a built-in feature, is to press the power button before raising the phone to (and touching) your face. This will turn off the screen, making it impossible to touch any of the on-screen buttons AND will NOT disconnect your phone call. Using the red end-call button to hang up will cause the screen to automatically come back on so you can continue using your device. If you need to use something on the device (contacts, calendar, etc) while still on the call, press the power button again and the screen will light back up - all without messing up your call.

The dude has the answer. Nice!
Using stock rom. Tapping the phone button at the bottom brings up the list of calls, dialed and received. Tap one accidently and instantly hit "End call" button. Phone does not hang up, but completes dialing with "End call" button changed to green "Call" button and disconnects in about 30 seconds.
This is quite frustrating when you dial the phone number you did not intend and only able to hang up after 30-35 seconds.
I was wondering if there is any possible way to have to camera button end a call while on a call, and work regularly as the camera button usually does when not on a call. I know there is an option to have to power button end the call, but I prefer to power button to turn the screen of during a call so I don't accidentally hit mute / hangup / dialpad with my face.
So, is it possible?
Almost without fail whenever I receive an incoming call, the action of pulling the phone out of my pocket slides the "Decline" button and I reject the call. Occasionally it slides "Answer" but neither are desirable since I just end up hitting "End Call" thinking I'm hitting "Answer". Is there an app to replace the stock M8 app that handles calls so it it a button press instead of slide. Any other suggestions would be appreciated as well.
