Google navigation and phone call bluetooth - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if there is a way to keep google navigation maximized when a phone call comes in? Id like to be able to continue seeing where I'm going when my bluetooth radio automatically answers the phone. Only workaround I have is to quickly switch to navigation while on the call. But not very safe to do while driving.

Guess this isn't possible or no app made to do this yet. Doesn't anyone else find it annoying when the phone app overtakes google navigation? Should be as simple as just muting the nav app and directing the call to bluetooth with the phone app running in the background.

My nav. Plays through my bt headset. But I've never experience the situation you described.
It would be interesting if someone has a fix for this.

Can't you hit the home key and pull Nav back up while still on the phone?

Yes I can do this but it's kind of difficult and dangerous to do while driving. I really would prefer my car radio to handle who is calling me which it already does and the Nav to continue guiding me visually without the android phone application launching in the foreground. I can't tell you how many times I hung up on my wife because I knew I was going to get lost if I didn't continue seeing where I was going.

Doesn't cm7 have the option to answer calls in background?

There is a theme option in the settings. But it is greyed out. Any ideas to get that available? Also this keyboard is great.

EK02 Bug Thread

Well no one has made one yet, so I'll do the honors.
I have seen a decrease is signal strength, but I have noticed better data speeds. I never had the LoS issue before, so I can't tell if this fixed it or not.
Source for EK02 still hasn't been released yet...
Also just a heads up Sprint updated Swype to the latest version in this update as well.
Sound bug is still there. I can't comment on LOS until I am running the new radio (currently on EG31).
What is the "Sound Bug?" And I also noticed that Samsung added arrows to the lockscreen.

Bug where some games and most emulators will randomly crash, usually within minutes.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17623
This only seems to be an issue with the ET4g. Besides that I haven't noticed any other issues.
Can someone please test the headset control for music?

I was wondering the same thing until someone posted a link yesterday. Is it isolated to games because I thought the sound bug was how loud it got from 1 step below max to full volume. Lol

I tested with two headsets.
My Samsung earbuds (came with Moment) don't have any control.
My Klipsch (S2m) earbuds have two controls. Short press opens contacts, while long press opens Voice Talk.
I haven't tested it to answer or end calls.

No. I tried with the Samsung (stock) music app and the Google Music app. No luck. Screen is turned on if off, but nothing is changed.
ATM, the headphone button doesn't have any control over music.
Does anyone else have a problem when opening the app drawer, zooming out, then selecting a page only to bring you back to the home screen?

I have this bug also. My lockscreen seems to have disappeared as well, but only on a critically low battery. Not sure if that is behavior or not since I have only had the phone for a day.

For your lockscreen go to Location & Security and set your lock period to immediately

I don't have an option to set the lock period. I'm on the stock ROM and unrooted.
The EK02 update has seemed to fix the touchscreen acting crazy while charging, but I'm not entirely sure about it.
this is NOT a bug, but do not want to start a new thread.

Home button mapping

Is anyone else going crazy with the home button opening voice command constantly when it wasn't your intent? Is there a way to change this mapping in stock? The phone is also rooted if it matters.
Thanks in advance.
I love that function.
Almost all dev roms now have removed that feature. Check the development section.

like when someone calls you, does the call screen pop up?
well if that's your question.. mine does. I think it worked for TW ICS, but now i'm using APEX and it's working for sure on that launcher.

Just you. AOSP is so much better than Touch****
Third Samsung device but I hate Touchwiz
I'm sorry if my English doesn't work for you. The thing I'm trying to say is, when your multitasking and want to switch between apps and phone Call multiple times between during a phone call, Touchwiz will take you to the active call and make it so much easier when you press the phone on the launcher, you know the littler icon next to the app tray button than takes you to your active call unlike aosp which taker you to a dialer only, and not an active call.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Touchwiz is nice. The launcher not so much but everything else works.
To do what you want on AOSP you have to pull down on the notification bar and pres on the phone call notification. That's what I do on Touchwiz too.
i actually love gingerbread touchwiz way better than stock GB also love the dock bar cuz thats what i use alot. but after trying the 4.0 kang version damn i fell in love. GB TW has alot of cool features like turn ur phone over to mute it (perfect for when u dont wanna get up in teh morning), slide to call or message someone, browser leaves u in the exact same spot, dialer knows numbers when u type the names, i honestly dont know why ppl hate it sooo much. GB TW> stock GB but stock ICS> ICS TW. i honestly am gonna miss some features especially the turn over to mute cuz i REALLY REALLY!! hate trying to fiddle with it when ur half asleep trying to turn off the damn alarm when i could just turn it over and BAM it stops
I'm never gonna like aosp, if it wasn't for touchwiz would I be buying Samsung?

I do this also, I just use the notification bar, that's what I call multi tasking.. Not going to the home page and then clicking the call icon. I believe you can also hold home for the recent tasks. I do that a lot for multi tasking

Heck, that skyrocket ICS that was released a while ago by eugune or something looked better and felt better than the leaked ICS. **** TOUCHWIZ. Altho i prefer touchwiz on Gingerbread as it looks better than aosp, more suited for a larger screen.

Disable Capacitive Keys on FK23

Does anyone know of how to disable the capacitive keys on fk23?
I just recently started getting the menu flutter hardware bug of doom and I just can't take it anymore.
I did the build prop mod to add soft keys and I'd like to now completely disable the capacitive keys but the system/usr/key layout is way different on jellybean. I'd appreciate any input...

Why waste the space? It'd be like the gnex right?
Because its worth losing a little space and not having the menu constantly fluttering. If you change the dpi there is not much screen loss from the stock experience. Yeah, looks like the gnex.
