Hi,
When i put my phone at the back most of the times the green led won't go on and then handsfree is not working.
Sometimes it does work.
Best regards
Gert
The TP2 is very particular about this. You need to lay the TP2 face down on a completely level surface for it to work properly. (If you're doing this, then perhaps the G-Sensor needs recalibrating.)
When there are no level surfaces around, I press the 'Speaker' button on the call screen manually.

My PDA2k seems to be turning itself off even when in use :?
I use TomTom3 in the car, and even when the power is plugged into the bottom it was turning off ever few minutes.
I just took a phone call and when I has finished talking I noticed the screen had gone blank and pressing the red handset didn't bring it back, the power button did. (I do have screen lock on).
Having said that, thinking about it, I was watching TV progs on WMP on the way home and it never shut itself off once :?:
Anyone have any idea what is going on? Is this normal?
I have an o2 XDA2 S running TomTom 3 with the TomTom cradle. I occassionally find that the pda just turns itself off.
It doesn't happen all the time.
I have also found that sometimes during a call the pda turns itself off and I cant get it back on by pressing the handset key, just the on off button.
Cheers

click start>settings>system>backlight . . in here you can change the time it takes to turn off in not touched the device, 5 mins max.... also if you click button lock in system settings, you can set it so that when it happens, you can tap screen and it comes back on again.... tho i prefer to keep that off, otherwise it may ring people while it its protective case.. :lol:
and going by all the software that is out for these xda's, you can prob find a programe /or hack to change it even longer if you need that!!!
But when it is on external power (plugged into the car using TT3), it shouldn't shut down at all. Aside that, when in use (when receiving a call) I wouldn't think it should shut down should it?
I have a seperate scren lock installed too. I found the built in one not enough. When it is in my belt pouch and I get a text, or connect to my BT car kit or something, it wakes it up. All of a sudden all the keys are being pressed (by the squeeze of the case) and all kinds of applications are opening!
Just got my TP2 today, and one of the features I was looking forwards to using was the automatic speaker phone.
I turn the phone over on a call, and the Mute button lights up. Then it vibrates and the speaker turns on. Then it vibrates off, then on. Sometimes it just turns onthe Mute, but not the speaker.
Obviously I have made sure that Phone->Options->Advanced Turn on speaker when flipped is checked.
The speakerphone works fine when I press the button.
I did try searching for this, and all I found was someone whom upgraded to 6.5 and didn't recheck that option.
I'm using stock, just out of the box. Installed apps -> Facebook, PockeTwit, ZoomBar Addon.
Any help is as always, greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced!

It's not just turning it over, but putting it *facedown* on a flat surface. Did you try that?

I'd say that unless you've been setting it down on an uneven surface -- or not actually setting down at all as the other guy suggests -- there must be something wrong with your phone.
There's no setting/configuration that would cause the inconsistent erratic behavior you describe -- going on then off, vibrating, etc -- if it's setting on a flat table-top or similar.
Got a new phone yesterday. Went to the store, called the store, set my phone down and said "Isn't this supposed to be on speaker now?" and that was that lol.
Thanks for the help guys
Hello boys

Thanks for the help

Hi,
I have a problem with my keyboard too, I've searched the forum but i didn't see the same problem as i have or the solution. My phone's screen turns off when i slide out the keyboard. Actually phone stays on but the light of the screen goes off. when i slide it out i'm able to write something or make calls. when i slide it back, screen keeps itself off and i press the sleep key "2 times"!(screen looks like off but it isn't) to reopen it again. I press the sleep key for the first time to turn the screen actually off, and press it one more time to turn it on again. i did a soft and a hard reset to the phone, didn't solve it. I don't think it is a software problem but i hope it is

These are the photos of the occasion.
The screen keeps itself on until the end of the slide. it turns off then. when I slide it back, i can see the backlight of the screen and the light of the buttons.( i don't think that you would see it on the photo, 3rd photo).
I'm waitin for your help guys, thank you so much.
Isn't there anyone to help my problem? I'm waiting for your answers..
I'm also having this same issue. When I slide the keyboard in it just turns off sometimes. At first I thought it might be a physical issue with the internals of the phone and the sliding impact of the keyboard was causing it to reset, but it doesn't do it all the time for me. I can jam on it and nothing happens sometimes, or other times it resets from a gentle nudge. I am running Energy GTX from August 26 or 28, whatever version that was.
I also have this issue now where my end key is unresponsive. Doesn't. Work. Ever. and that is so freaking annoying. If anyone has any insight here PLEASE share it.
Thank you.
Wow i just saw your message and suprised. Is that my phone you're using? Because I have that end key problem too. It works when I press too hard. And I have 3rd problem now. I think my phone's microphone is not working. People i'm talking on the phone is always complaning about that they can not hear my voice or it's too low. Now I have three problems:
1. Phone is turning itself off when i slide the keyboard out.
2. End key is not responsive.
3. Microphone is low or its broken..
Maybe reflash your phone to origional rom.
I was using WM 6.5 without hardspl when the problem occured. then i did hardspl and installed custom roms, i even tried with WM 6.1. It didn't help about any of it. I'm used to not using the keyboard actually, but the problem with microphone is annoying..
Same problem with the keyboard

I have the same problem !!!! Did you manage to resolve because I am sure this is software relatred. I had android on my phone prior to this and fixated that the issue is coming from this
Had the same keyboard issues, found that it was a battery issue. when you shut the phone, the battery would loose connection.
bluewaterkayak,
more info on the loose battery connection.
i have the same problem with sliding the keyboard down and the screen turning off. closing it, pressing the sleep button 2x, turns the phone back on. i can slide the keyboard down just enough and hold it to type out a text, any more and it'll go off.
THIS IS SUPER ANNOYING
Bumpski. Really need this fixed.
What ever you last installed take it off. If not you might have to go factory restore
It's definitely not a software issue. The screen itself somehow gets disconnected when slid up all the way.
Took it apart and found nothing obvious wrong. Is there something to look at exactly when the slider is at the end of it's travel? The cables seemed fine. The problem only happens at the end of travel.
I cleaned the slider area and pried some contacts down. Nothing. Put it back together and same problem.
Ideas??
See here:

Tried the fix posted in the last link with Kapton Tape.
Didn't work.
Any ideas?
I have the same issue. My old VZW TP2 is sitting in a drawer in my house because people kept saying they couldn't hear me on the other end. Also on my new one, when i slide the keyboard in/out sometimes it turns off, not always though. I figured it has to be a hardware issue as well, if i do it slowly nothing happens but if i just slide it open and let the springs kick in, it usually cuts off once it 'snaps' to the end of the sliding path.
I just got my new AT&T S3 a few days ago, and there's a problem I seem to be having with every single phone call I make or receive.
During the call, the screen goes dark, and none of the buttons seem to be able to wake it up again until the other party hangs up. I've literally had to rip my Otterbox off and yank the battery out to hang up during one call to an IVR system that just wouldn't hang up on its own (I guess I could have pressed the right combination of buttons to force a reboot, but at that point I was in no mood to spend 5 minutes experimenting with different permutations of power, vol-, and vol+ to find the magic combo).
Here's what I think might be happening. Note that I haven't exhaustively spent lots of time debugging it yet, on the theory that if it's a common bug, somebody else already has:
Call begins.
Hall Effect sensor triggered by proximity to face. Screen turned off, touchscreen input disabled.
Display settings ticking away in the background force timeout after N seconds. Ignores the fact that the display is already off, and puts the phone to sleep "for real" (at least, the part handling the UI), neglecting to re-enable the power button first.
I'm done with my call. I move the phone away from my face to hang up (or pull up the keypad to enter a selection). Hall Effect sensor broadcasts intent to turn on screen and re-enable touchscreen, and its intent falls on deaf ears because the phone is officially asleep and ignoring it.
Panic. Press power button. Seemingly ignored (though the phone might be waking up enough to see a note telling it to ignore the button, and going back to sleep without further action).
Anger. Press home button. Press volume buttons. Swear violently, and get really mad.
(other party hangs up; lock gets released, phone is awakened and problem seems to go away)
or...
(furiously press various two- and three-finger combinations of power, vol+, vol-, and home until either the call terminates or the phone reboots)
For what it's worth, the same bug show up if I make a call in my car, but the bluetooth call-control button DOES work, even though the phone itself appears to be a darkened unresponsive brick, and triggering a hangup via bluetooth wakes it back up again. I KNOW this isn't due to Tasker or anything, because I've had this problem literally since I made my first call on the new phone to terminate my Sprint account, when it was 100% stock and virgin.
I had the same problem with my white s3 . Then I changed the screen protector and cleansed the proximity sensor with a dust free cloth and haven't had any problems since
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Well, I found the root of my problem: the S3's proximity sensor isn't a Hall Effect sensor, it's near-infrared... and the plastic shell on my case is yellow, which meant it was reflecting too much near-infrared light back into the sensor and triggering it continuously from the moment the LED turned on. I ended up blackening the plastic that surrounds the sensor using a Sharpie marker, and it solved the problem.
Samsung S3 won't hang up
I have the same problem and found that I can insert earphones to phone to make light come back on. After looking at this forum I also noticed a setting (which I haven't tried yet). It's the 3rd from last under settings. Settings-Accessibility-Answering/ending calls-The power key ends calls.
I'm hoping that will work.
I got a Note 2 SCH-317 with broken LCD. After replaced new LCD everything works fine except phone screen is off right after connected to another phone. Still can talk and hear or communicate with another phone but screen is just off with no image, (all buttons and touch function do not work when screen is off and I have to take the battery out to turn off the phone).
I tried make phone call without the middle frame then it is okay no problem at all but when insert the mid-frame on the problem is again and the screen is only off when making the phone call (exactly right after it connected with another phone) Lately I found out if I press (little hard) on both corners (up right and down left) the screen is on and when it is on touch function and all buttons work fine.
There is anyone tell me how to handle this matter and explain why this happen? Thank you in advance
Also just found another way to keep the screen on during call. After dial the number and phone is in dialing menu, if I press and have the speaker on then the screen is on but screen will turn off again if speaker is off. Weird though !!!!!
Does anyone have an idea???
