As many knows there is a very annoying problem when you have your DHD in your jack pocket and answering when someone calls you.
Most often, like 9 times of 10, you accidentally reject the call when pullinng your phone out of your jacket pocket.
Is there any solution to this? surely HTC must be aware of this problem?
Is the only solution to install a ROM without sense?
I'm sorry, as annoying as it may be, and I mean no offence but this is purely user error.

There is a solution! You obviously put your phone upside down in your pocket and when you pull it out, you reject the call. Just put your phone the proper way and you'll be answering the call instead of rejecting it (happens to me all the time especially while driving) .
Now the serious answer is unfortunately "no". You either have to put it in your pocket with the screen facing outwards, or you can use a pouch. BTW stock one is great.

But yes, I listen to music a lot so my phone is in my pocket upside down but I always make sure the screen is facing in then to remove you can slide your hand down the back of the phone (oo er) and grab the sides.

It's not a user error and i didn't ask for your opinion, it's improperly designed software by HTC that have not done extensive testing in how a user handles their phones.
My phone sits in my pocket same as MR_JMM'S never rejected a call getting it out.
Btw if you dont want peoples opinions best not post on xda
Ok, where to start.
1). Have you tried a different jacket pocket?
2). Have you tried a different jacket?
3). How about your trousers/pants? Same results?
4). Have you tried wearing gloves, and answering the call with your nose? Example
Any combination of the above could solve your issue.

True, someone says user fault who runs Cyanogenmod, LOL
He can just slide like iPhone, maybe he never tried Sense?
how about widget locker. The sliding motion is sideway so it may help. Paid apps though.
I think you misunderstand what's happening when you unwillingly answer a call. You slide the dialer with your leg, not with your hand. That's why putting the phone screen outwards would help with that, but it could be bad for it if you bump into something or fall.

Ah ah, that kinda makes more sense, but I never experienced that even before I ran CM because my gel case stops the screen coming in contact with my trouser leg, still can't believe that IF this is a real issue it's not been raised on XDA before now.

also i always use screen protectors & a case that covers totally the phone when i'm not using it..

Dude...you got it right but the problem is that i have it in my jacket and it doesn't matter if i put it straight down or upside down, the calls get rejected anyway.
It is a major problem and it has been raised to HTC in my country as the DHD screen is very large this problem is more common with DHD than the smaller screens from HTC.
People running CM7 Rom doesn't have this problem as they answer the calls the "iphone" slide to the side...
I've tried Widgetlocker but it doesn't help at all.
Problem is, why have a Sense slide for rejecting calls in the first place? slide it up and the call gets rejected, remove it and the problem is solved.
This is an issue for me too. I have the phone in my pocket with the screen facing my body, and it is my body that activates the slide-to-reject as the phone leaves my pocket. I have to be very careful when retrieving the phone when a call comes in.
Don't like cases, so please don't suggest that.
It is a HTC design flaw - they should have implemented as slide left/right like on the Touch HD.

Yes exactly, cases are so 80's when we had to carry a brick Problem is that Widgetlocker doesn't work for call-ins....it defaults back to sense.
Anyway, people who use original slider(no sense rom) doesn't seem to have this problem as the slider is different like iPhone, god i hate iPhone but that's another story
I bought HTC because of sense, otherwise i could have bought a Samsung.
Does anyone know what the hole is for on the top right corner on the back of the GN? Images below. You can also search for cases on Ebay and it is on all of them.
Noise-cancellation mic.

No GN I've seen so far has a mic in that location and that would be a pretty bad location for it.

I never said it was a camera. I said whatever is behind that hole in the second picture just looks like one, alright? Cool.
And if you are on speaker phone and you place your phone down the noise cancelling mic is obstructed. Not that hard to realize honestly. Also, many people put their index finger on the top right of the phone when they hold it to their ear.

If you put the phone down in the way you describe you would also be obstructing the speaker... Most people set the phone with the speaker up for that.
I cannot fathom holding my phone in a way that obstructs that mic, however, even if i did, I would still have a regular phone call...

What's odd about it?
If it is a noise cancellation mic then its in the perfect position so I would back that theory. Up against the ear it would pick up surrounding sounds to minimize external sounds, in speakerphone operation (screen face down) it would act the same way and as the phone is quite long very few people would put their finger over the top of the phone to obstruct it.
Mark.
I think its the speaker.

The barometer doesn't need a hole. It can just be inside the phone. It doesn't need a specific port to measure pressure. The pressure in the phone is the same as outside the phone, and there are plenty of ports on the phone already (the inside obviously isn't air tight).

LOL. That would be awesome, but the hole is way too small for the lanyard though
and it would need 2 holes for that
And its at the wrong end of the phone lol.
Mark.
just for reference, on the SGS2
the mic is at the bottom, and the noise cancellation mic is at the top, pretty close to where the opening of the GN case is showing
so i wouldn't be surprised if there's really a NC Mic in that location
after all it's just a pin hole, i don't think those pics are high quality enough to show it
When you shake your phone next to your ear, do you hear a rattling noise in the phone?
Is this normal?
Sounds like the volume rocker rattling a bit on mine. I hadn't noticed before. It doesn't seem particularly concerning to me.

So when you hold down the volume rocker, you hear no rattiling? In all motions?

Is it the camera leans? When you shake your phone near your ear, do you hear noise?

When I lightly put my thumb on the volume rocker to keep it still, I get no rattle at all.
If I hold the Volume rocker and lens while slightly shaking, I can faintly hear the Ocean... lol Seems to me it's the volume rocker.
The camera lense. So dont shake much
Just waiding in on this one. I have the galaxy nexus and if I tap the back of my phone it rattles quite badly. Its the camera. Its floated lens on a spring so it will rattle. Its normal for this type of lens

just as Kenneth said above, there's nothing to worry really. it's just the way these types of camera modules are constructed.

You take a hammer and flat screwdriver, then you break the the glass protecting the camera. Next you fill the camera up with superglue and wait until its completely stuck. Voila, now nothing can move so your camera wont work or make a single sound.

Let your speaker dry and do not use it till it dryied, else the moving parts that are glued together may loose their connection and the distortion will stay permament.

I have experienced that problem as well. You just need to dry your phone, until it completely dry, using hair dryer is expected. Just expose with it, wait until you sure, and it'll be work

Hi TiTAN-O-One,
I hope, your problem is gone for now, but perhaps it would be helpful to know what you can do, when such unfortunate happens.
This phone is really easy to disassemble and reassemble. Replacement parts are not expensive and almost everywhere easy reachable.
I had to replace my internal speaker because it sounded distorted. I bought the part and with some tools i replaced the internal speaker with the proximity sensor earphone jack and upper michrophone (these are all on one unit). You will find an accurate guide on youtube on how to disassemble and reassemble your wonder without damaging it. It's quite easy.
In case it gets wet it is the same, you can safely disassemble it, dry and carefully clean parts and thats it. All you need is patience, some time, and the tools described in the youtube guide.
I did that and my device is still up and running. If you decide try, thats the way...
Hope that this little guidance helped! :fingers-crossed:

That's good luck for you that your speaker did not take a major damage.:good:
But watch out, because these electronic parts can be easily be damaged without any other option than replacing them.
I use my phone with silicon case and above that i have a carrying bag too.
Wolud be nice for this phone to (at least) be waterproof. There are some casings that can make our wonder waterproof, but they are way too expensive by sametime not allowing a confortable use of the device.

My phones never go anywhere near water, so I'm pretty sure it's not that.
And mine is 4 days old, never near water, so yeah, pretty sure its not that also.
Mine crackles while playing some games. I initially thought it was due to the game's assets or code being corrupted, but perhaps it's due to something else entirely.
I've yet to update my phone to the latest version (I want to make a backup before I do this), but when I do I'll probably check it out further.
