Hi..
I´m looking for any simple utility to suspend or turn off screen and hear a sound when i put my HD face down. Also, it must exist an exception when phone is active (incoming call) to avoid turn off device and close phone in case my device was facedown in these moment. I´ve installed ChangeScreen but don´t work fine at all (it´s in testing process). Is there any idea for this??
Thanks
Frank
try gyrator.. I've tried it as i wanted the incoming call ring to silent wen i turn the device face down. it is easy with gyrator. also, playing a sound when device is placed face down is also possible. I am not sure about if screen can be turned off or suspended using gyrator..
will try and tell u.

I use it exectly to suspend on face down and reverse portrait. Can't live without it, plus i use the feature to make a sound when the stylus is out because i loose it sometimes.
Now i was testing Mobile Magic but don´t work fine at all in my rom (problem with exceptions and gsensor). Suspend and sounds works ok but...
I´ll try Gyrator. Thanks !

I'm using the official Tmobile US WM 6.5 Rom. The speaker phone is not automatically turning on when I put the phone face down during a call.
Is this happening to others? Is there a fix?
Go to the phone settings. There is an Advanced tab. Make sure there is a check at "Turn speaker on when device is placed face down during a call".
also make sure its on a level surface...the phone has to be perfectly level for "straight talk" to work...(which is dumb imho)...i tend to talk on the phone when im in bed and it doesnt work b/c the phone is very slightly tilted...if i put it on a table it works perfectly...
I just tried it in on my car's dash and it's now working. Does it work on a glass desk?
It should work on any hard flat surface.
If the phone is ringing and you want to ignore the call, simply turn it over and lay it face down. The ringer will go to silent and the caller will be sent to voicemail at the end of the rings.
Anyone else have any other little tricks?
Edit: This is different from the "quiet phone on pickup" feature/preference. This will 100% silence your phone and works wether that preference is set or not.

I like the fact that the screen turns off when it's up to your face.
You can get an app like LED desire light to use the led flash as a VERY bright flashlight

I tested it and it doesn't work for me.
What would be nice is to have it go to speaker phone like my TP2 did when face down.

I'm torn on this, it's a cool feature... but sometimes I feel I pull it away from my face and instinctively go to turn it on when I notice the screen is off, then as I am pressing the power it turns on and then back off!
Thankfully I am slowly getting used to it and subconsciously knowing that it'll turn on...
I forgot to say that flipping it over doesn't shut the ringer off on mine.

wierd it works for me
Wonder if it is a setting somewhere in the phone menu or possibly an app. I am going to guess an app. What happens when you are in a call and flip it over?
Use LED Light with Camcorder and Video with flash.
not really a software trick, but... the fact that fingerprints get cleaned off after keeping the phone in the pocket some some time. Hop in the car, drive around, pull out the cell to do some GPS, screen is CLEAN aka. no glare

Menu >> Settings >> Sound & Display >> Quiet ring on pickup
Check mark it to enable or vice versa.
Does the updated text selection feature count as a 'trick'? I don't remember having it on my 2.1 ROMs for the Hero. Either way, it's infinitely better. (To me).

I already have it enabled. I know that my ringtone goes quiet when I pick it up. I had my GF call me and I flipped the phone over and it didn't go to VM on her side.

Who said anything about flipping the phone over sending the call to voicemail ? It only quiets the ringer, until the call ends up being routed to VM normally

I've only gotten that to come up once for me and I don't know how I did it. It's just like the iPhone though.
Anyone know of an app that will switch the phone to speaker phone if you place it face down? ....found one it is called Flip Speakerphone
Thanks! Flip Speakerphone is awesome!

I don't think a mod is required for this.
Doesn't Settings > Sound > Uncheck "Quiet ring on pickup" do this for you?
not exactly
this option gives you a posibility to quiet a ring when your phone make a move during a call(doesnt matter in which direction).
But even if you turn this option off,ring will end if you put your device on a screen
Untick the above option and it should ring with out quiten ring tone. Works with my Desire.
The OP is right: the phone still goes silent when turned face down even with that box unticked.

Hmmmm intresting....as mine doesn't just tested.
Strange....
so, any interesting ideas?
Is there a way to change the Call answer screen from swipe up and down to swipe left and right?
I have been looking for a couple of days now but I have not found an app or a setting to change this.
I'm asking because I carry the phone in my pocket and a lot of the time the phone rings and it answers or declines while in my pocket without me knowing a lot of the time.
You could use some other phone app. But, I keep my phone on pocket also, and never had such a problem. It should detect that it's in the pocket and disable touch to prevent this from happening...
