how do I stop my phone vibrating during phone calls

Using CM7
Every time I make a call, my phone vibrates twice when it connect, and whenever i take it away from my face, and when I disconnect, and sometimes just for fun it seems.
Everyone keeps asking why they hear a duck when I'm talking to them.
it has nothing to do with notifications, and I don't see any settings in the phone settings that have worked, or look like there is any chance of them working.
PLEASE tell me there is a way to make this stop. I don't want to go back to Sense, but I can't take this annoyance any more.

Only thing I can think of is to go into settings>call settings> and uncheck

I had the same issues earlier on in the nightlies. I never could get it to go away until I just did a full wipe and fresh install of the rom.

I guess that's in the cards for me then, since none of the vibrate settings anywhere have any affect on this.
I guess I was/am due for a full wipe, so I'll give that a shot
thanks all

I would suggest the vr superwipe. Its in the dev section. It wipe everything 3 times and you just flash it like a rom or theme.

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 goes into Silent Automatically

This is driving me mad.
My new Galaxy Note 2 randomly goes onto Silent mode. I thought it might be to do with motion so I switch all the settings off. Also there are two settings in display regarding motion and I've switched those off as well.
Still it goes randomly into Silent when I get back to the phone.
Anyone else having this problem or could it be a rougue app doing this?
I have read people complaining about this on the S3.
Thanks
Anis

Long shot, but... Did you check "lock mode" in settings?

Switch off your block mode if it is on in settings.

I think this is a builtin fault of system and it is with android since ICS

Thanks for the replies:
1) Don't know what you mean by Lock Mode?
2) Block mode is definitely not set.
It just did it again.

Sorry. My phone's language is Portuguese and I had to make a guess at the English equivalent. It is probably "block" as leony74 said. 6th entry on the Settings menu.

Sorry folks, I think it was my fault.
My Islamic prayer time app automatically put the phone in silent at prayer time.
Well, I am 99% certain it was this anyway.
I'll report back if it still is going into silent.
Thanks for all your help.

Exactly, Salati app was doing the trick, and the image confirm your theory.

Thanks for your reply, the problem was caused by our prayer app (Muslim prayers) so it turns the phone silent for praying time, i disabled it because sometimes i am not in the mosque so i need my phone on.

I finally found one of the possible reasons! It was avg antivirus app that was causing same problem in my note 2. Try uninstalling avg antivirus. It worked for my phone

Does this battery life look normal?

I think something is draining my battery, but I haven't downloaded anything thay could be draining it? Also my GPS iconnis stuck to on, even after rebooting and doong a battery pull...

Found the problem. Had an app that had air push, removed it and the GPS icon went away, which is what I think was killing the battery...

I found the battery to drain hugely with wifi set to be on at all times, I've set mine to switch wifi off when locked and I'm at 63% and over 8 hrs up time

Wifi has never been an issue for me.. I'm on wifi 99% of the time...

GPS, Auto Sync, and Bluetooth are huge killers for me. If you don't use them too often I recommend leaving them off. Also staying on HSPA+ instead of LTE when your phone is idle is better as well.

nope definately not normal. try maybe disabling some radios, like bluetooth and gps when not in use, and try disabling some notifications like gmail, facebook...unless u want them. they seem to be big battery drainers. or its prolly just a bug..try restarting

Can we set the data switching using Tasker?

I could be wrong but I think the only switching data modes is by temporarily removing he SIM, dialling the code to put the phone in service mode, selecting the data mode you want, but then won't take effect until you reboot...
If that's the case, I would say no because of having to remove the SIM...

As stated in post 2, I found the problem.

How do you make the phone to go on hsdpa on idle instead of lte.... ?

Tasker & Power Saving Mode

I was hoping to find a way to have Tasker turn on PSM when I'm at work or at night when I'm sleeping. Is there a way to either get Tasker to do this or to create a scrpt to access PSM via terminal?

I was looking for this as well. I know it should be possible via an activity but I don't know where to find it. The closest I could find was in the settings app, but this only opens the settings dialog.
com.android.settings.Settings.$PowerSettingsActivity
Maybe it is somewhere in one of the samsung apps? If so it would be great if one of the devs here knew.

Don't know how to do it with tasker. Not sure it would be possible as it's a samsung function, not a native android function.
I can get my overnight power draw to less then 1% per hour even with bluetooth and cellular on. GPS and wifi affect my battery the most

If your mobile is rooted then it is possible by dpad.
First make power saving mode toggler in notification bar as attached in screen shot.
Now make task (nameower saving on)as below
1. Status bar: expanded
2. Dpad: action down-1
3. Dpad: action press-1
4. Status bar : collapse
Make same task for power saving off.
You can add in any profile like display on, display unlocked etc.

Maybe it does not matter now, but app Secure Settings (plugin for Tasker, free) can do this. And it works well.

Sorry, you're limited to 8 Thanks per day
Thanks everyone, these ideas you guys have make up for my lack of imagination and helps me out a bunch

Hidden menus - ANT Settings

While messing around with the hidden menus, I turned on PRX/DRX measurement display , under RF -> ANT Setting menu. There seems to be no way to turn the option off again.
Can this have any impact on battery life / performances? Is there a way to disable it? If i click again on the PRX/DRX ON button, it reboots the phone but the option stays ON.

I cant find a clear answer what this is for some say fm radio others say its how gear talks wi5h the fone. I hate to make an example here thought this is why we dont touch settings we dont know about. U hqve no clue what it does and for all u no u coulda wiped ure phone. This is a big no no but enough of that u way no matter how many times u click it stays on. Only other way would to restore ure backup or it may been on in the first place. Or a factory reset if no backups

you may look into ant+ its part of the system it may give you more of an idea ive never messed with it im pretty sure i got it debloated outa mine

ANT+ seems to be a communication protocol for data exchange between smartphons and various types of sensors.
On the other hand, "ANT settings", in the hidden menu context, seems to stand for ANTenna settings...
Did some research and I'm starting to figure it out a little bit.
PRX should be "primary data receive" while DRX is "diversity data receive" (it could also mean "Discontinuous reception" ....). Both have to do with LTE-WCDMA (?).
I'm not into telecom engineering, but I guess having both ON it's the way it's meant to be.
What is strange, is the menu behaviour : initially showing nothing, then apparently enabling both, and now allowing to turn off either one function or the other but not both at the same time.
For the time being, I see no anomalous behaviour or battery drain.
Bottom line : better not to tamper with it, I concur. But it would be nice to know what exactly PRX/DRX means , and if the menu is merely a tool for reading network performances ("lte ml1 serving cell measurement") or it actually enables/disables antenna features.

PRX is primary data receive signal.
DRX is diversity data receive signal.
You can guess the rest of it....
