Ok...I have a bluetooth car kit in my car. The problem starts when I try and dial someone from my car kit:
The phone is locked in its leather pouch in my pocket. When I dial someone from the car kit it must unlock the phone. My car kit pops up 'call ended'. So I redial, sometimes this happens again two or three times. Eventually I get to make my call but when I pull the phone out of my pocket I have 3 or 4 held calls on it to that person. The case must be rubbing on the screen and causing it to hold calls. I end up leaving long answer messages on their voicemail of my stereo playing!
I know it would be bad to disable the screen when a call is in progress because when i need to put a call on hold it wont work!
Does anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks

Hi All
Im wondering if any of you guys can help me.
I regulary use TomTom on my XDA Orbit and also use the speaker phone to talk on the phone as I drive. I have a problem when I receive an incomming call wilst running TomTom. The notification appears on the bottom of the screen telling me the is an incomming call, but Its a bit difficult getting from TomTom to the phone screen to switch on the speakerphone, without either dropping the call or quickly answering the call, then quit tomtom, then activate the speakerphone. I dont want to use the supplied headset and i dont have a bluetooth headset. Can anyone give any tips? Maybe a taskmanager wich cyles through the active programs using one of the buttons on the side of the phone??? Clutching at straws now maybe??
When a call is incomming, press the green answer button, quickly, and then press and hold it again.
Thanks for your reply. I will try this and let you klnow how I get on.
Cheers
Works a treat. I Have now also mapped the VJPhoneShortut ("Speakerphone ON") to the GPS Button on the handset which gets rid of the 3 second hold (not always easy when driving). Thanks again.
I'm sorry if this has been asked in the past, but I was wondering what happens to your navigation screen when a phone call comes in or when you need to place a call? Now it would be nice not to be doing several things at one time, but if a call comes in while you are trying to navigate, doesn't the call menu come on screen? How do you suppress that? Just wondering as I am looking to get a TP2 via AT&T. Thanks.
Dunno about other kit, but my copy of TomTom6 produces a popup on my iPAQ hw6915, and all I hace to do is answer the call (I use a BT headset with it when driving to stay roadsade as much as possible). The voice directions from TomTom remain muted while the call is in progress, by the way.
hi
While using GPS (GARMIN XT), the phone screen appears in case of incoming call.
I always use my bluetooth earphones while using GPS.
GPS voice will be thru the speaker and call on bluetooth.
After the call, the screen turns back the the GPS view automatically.
On my TP2, if a call is coming in and I have the bluetooth headset turned on, the headset will pick up the call only if I answer by pressing the headset answer button. If I answer by sliding the on-screen bar over the green "answer" button, the speaker in the phone itself comes on instead.
Is there a way to change this behavior such that the sound always comes through the headset if it is connected to the device, even if I answer on the phone itself?
I would be interested in this too, as I have a bluetooth car kit, if I accept the call from the car screen it is ok, if I accept it on the phone it routes through the phone.
I'm having a similar issue, but a little more complex it sounds like... When the phone rings and using my bluetooth headset (Jawbone2), I have to:
Press the answer button on the Jawbone2
Ringtone sound now comes through the headset
Remove phone from pocket and Slide2Answer with S2U2
Call is now connected through bluetooth
With my Kaiser, all I had to do was press the bluetooth answer button and the call would automatically pick up. No removing the phone, no pressing buttons or sliding to answer!
If I Slide2Answer on the phone when ringing without "transferring the call to bluetooth" first, the handset picks up the call. Useful in many cases, especially if I can't find the bluetooth after putting it down or in my jacket pocket for the time being. If I use the phone to make a call from the handset with bluetooth connected, it always transfers the sound directly to bluetooth. The problem lies with answering the phone with a bluetooth headset - the 4 steps above need to be completed instead of just #1 like it should be!
if you don't want it to go to the phone you need to answer with the device you want to talk with. thats how bluetooth on phones work, tp and tp2

I get that, If I try to answer the phone on the headset though, just the sound of the ringtone comes through the headset - the phone is still not answered, and is still ringing, just now in my ear! I STILL have to actually answer it via the phone's controls, which is pretty hard to do if you have your hands full........
For the OP Boo boo is correct. Answer the call on the device you want to use.
For Garcia25 the problem is S2U2. I ended up removing it and going back to the built in lock + LockDevice + built-in slide-to-answer.

Hi,
I am having problems with the HTC One X and my car kit. It connects ok and allows outgoing calls no problem. However incoming calls were automatically answered (worked out it is the stock installed car mode),and a message played to the caller "the person you are calling is currently driving". After that, it is not possible to connect to the caller.
I have now disabled the car mode app and done a hard reset. The phone now still works for outgoing calls. It works for incoming calls, provided it is not plugged into the charger.
If plugged into the charger (cig lighter with non-HTC usb cable),hitting answer (whether on phone or car kit) picks up the call and then the audio goes silent after about 2 seconds. The call can then only be recovered by selecting the audio out as handset, and then re-selecting the car kit. After doing that, everything works fine (provided the caller hasn't hung up in the meantime!).
Has anyone else had similar issues? Any ideas are welcome.
I have tried installing no dock and a tonne of similar apps to no avail.
I have tried enabling the car mode app and answering calls through it (but does the same as above - 2 seconds of audio then audio goes until carkit disconnected and then reconnected during call).
I am running a stock phone, not rooted, with 1.26. I am not encrypting the storage or anything else (I notice there have been threads about enryption and bluetooth problems prior to 1.28).
Thanks

You may have solved this by now but I had a similar problem with my One S. It turned out not to be the phone at fault.
In my case the phone would ring once then fall silent and the car audio would go silent while the incoming caller received the message that I was driving. I had not changed any of the settings on my car so assumed that the phone was at fault.
After trying to change phone settings I had a look at the settings for the Bluetooth on the car, where I found a setting for placing calls on hold. I found that this was set on automatic so I changed it to manual and everything worked properly.
What had been happening was that all incoming calls were being put on hold, which is why the incoming caller received the "driving" message. The caller was actually connected but on hold and if I had pressed the button to swap between callers on hold I would have been connected.
It appears that the setting had always been on automatic but my old phone didn't use the automatic call hold function, which is why I only had the issue when I changed to the One S.
Hope this helps.
Wanted to ask if anybody else is having dropped calls?
Using the headset included in the box and another one that I have that I know works the call kept cutting out after 5 minutes or so and then the call hanging if I did not wake up the screen.
I thought it was a phone issue obviously, but if I leave the screen on and play around with it, then the phone call does not hang.....
Also if the sound cut out and before the call was dropped, if I wokeup the screen then we could hear each other again.
Has anyone else got this issue? I am on the original Three firmware v1.26.xxx, handset was sim locked but now sim unlocked.....
And since then I have tried calling with just the speakerphone and the call did not drop, not used the phone for long or with the speaker near my ear as I usually use a headset.
Thanks.
Bump, someone must have used the headset and made a long 10 minute+ call?
Using without a headset and the speakerphone the call has not dropped.
I only use a bluetooth headset but i don't seem to have problems with it (and i realy talk alot at the phone).
Just FYI this does not happen anymore for me after installing the 1.28 update from Three..... Still waiting on the other updates for other fixes!
