I think eCID is my favorite app so far, just crazy convenient if you don't want to get the phone out of your pockets all the time.
One problem I have is that I use a different TTS engine (Ivona Amy, best voice I've found). That sometimes bugs with eCID and your 3 volumes are muted and there is no way to unmute them.
Well, the solution is to... shake the phone! Turns out eCID gets stuck waiting for TTS, so you just have to use the eCID shake to silence function and everything is back to normal!

Hi,
I set the option of facedown LOUDSPEAKER ON function and tried reset several times, but this is not working. even after installing tweak software which allows FACE DOWN MUTE, it is not working.....can someone provide me a solution to it!!!!!
I Would be obliged.
REGARDS.
Did you calibrate the gsensor? It won't work for me either unless I calibrate is. And it would also help if you tell use which rom you use.
htcpedia settings tool
try this app. The settings are under phone, page 2. works for me.
did u download some tweak program? i had that happened when i messed around with HD tweaks. it knocked out my speaker and i couldnt hear anything when someone called or i dialed out. it drove me crazy till i figured out what it was. it was when i was messing with the audio, trying to make it louder thru the tweak program. hopefully u get it working soon. i do love that feature, juss put the phone face down and speaker automatically cuts on. with really great sound quality. i believe the tilt 2 has 2 mics and 2 speakers. really great for conference calling. keep us updated
I use official WinMo6.5.... the problem is....when i hold it straight bottomdown,it works and just a slight movement in the angle switches it off....
ohhhh..ok...hmmm...maybe u need to calibrate the g sensor again. it sounds like its not calibrated right. or instead of putting it face down to activate speaker, during your call, juss press the speaker button and it should go into speaker phone. i dont think the g sensor messes with it in that mode. that face down thing is linked to the sensor and thats why its being thrown off.
If i put the TP2 face down on a flat surface in active call, it turns on the loudspeaker...but as soon as i lift it up and a slight change in angle switches off the loudspeaker.....is this USUAL with every TP2 or is there problem with mine?
I think that's normal. You're supposed to leave it flat on the table; picking it up again switches off the speakerphone, that's how the feature works.
For my ringer, it is on the loudest, but when I get a phone call, the sound is really muffled/low for about 1 second, then jumps up the volume it should be on (and its really loud)....Is that a normal issue or am I the only one having it?
Its not a make or break, I loooooooove this phone, but just wondering, its kind of weird!
Thanks!
Happens to me as well
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
It's by design and for 2 reasons. Prevents damage to the speaker and allows you time to silence it before it goes full blast. I actually like it.
If I'm next to my phone I can silence it before it bugs anyone else...if I'm not it will ring loud enough to get my attention.
This is same on mine. It was nice for the one time my phone started going in a meeting cause i hit the volume key fast enough to silence it, but does sound funny when you want it to be loud.
I had this happen a few times, so I spent some time trying to figure out how to repeatedly reproduce it. It wasn't too hard.
1) Turn on a youtube video (I think that anything that used the phone's loud speaker would work).
2) Turn your media volume up to max.
3) Hold down the search button to bring up Voice Search.
I suddenly hear static and garbled audio.
4) Cancel (because I only accidentally pressed that button in the first place)
and the static and garbled audio stays around.
After that, I can go to most any audio app (visual voicemail, music beta, pandora, etc) or just get a notification sound from my phone and it will be complete static and garbage.
The first time I fixed it by playing a voicemail via visual voicemail through the normal speaker and then changing it to the loud speaker. That doesn't work every time though. I'm guessing that a reboot would also fix this.
I tried to reproduce this on my other TMO SGS2 both with the Voice Search shipped with the phone and the update from the market. On the one phone it happens with both versions and on the other, it never happens. I'm not sure that this is a hardware issue but I don't have a good explanation either way.
I've tried this a few more times today with a number of different apps and Voice Search and it hasn't reproduced itself. Most apps, like Google Music and Pandora, stop audio output when Voice Search is activated. Only YouTube seems to just ignore the Voice Search and keep going.
Edit: I exchanged my phone and this doesn't happen on the new one. Seems like a bad hardware issue.
The only thing I really don't like about the Galaxy S4 is that the vibration is fairly weak. Working in an office I need to have my phoen on vibrate as a colorful ringtone is simply not an option. But I miss text messages and phone calls on occasion because I just don't feel the phone vibrating in my pocket.
Heck even if I have it laying on a nearby table sometimes I still don't hear it vibrating.
I have come up with a sollution acceptable work around to this issue!
I made a vibration sound as my ring tone. So now when the phone vibrates it also goes BzzzBzzzBzzz out of the speaker.
It's barely loud enough to be heard by anyone but you if it's in your pocket. If anyone else does hear it, it still just sounds like a normal vibrating phone. No obnoxious ringtone.
If you want to try this out I've included 3 WAV files in the attached zip.
- Base Vibration Sound.wav - This is the sound file I used as a base for the final ringtones I made. I have scoured the internet looking for vibration sounds. This one is the one that sounded most like an actual vibrating phone. Use this file as your source if you want to try this technique out but don't like the final products I created.
- Ringer Vibration.wav - I added some bass and increased the volume, and extended the length of the original source file so make a loud, long, steady vibration sound that is roughly the length of a normal incoming call vibration.
- SMS Vibration.wav - Same bass and volume changes as the Ringer Vibration, but it's 3 short bursts insead of one long steady vibration. I did this because 3 short burts is how I've always set my my SMS vibration sequence. There are pauses between each vibration in the squence so you can hack up he file and change the vibration pattern as needed easily enough.
Hopefully this idea helps someone else.
Note, I still have the phone vibrate and ring in settings so it still vibrates. The vibration sound is jus in addition.
This is still a work in progress for me. So if you can improve on it please do and share your version here! If there are any real audiophile geeks out there who can make this sound really good, please share your talents! I am NOT an audio guy by any means. I just found a vibration sound file online and modded it with a little cutting and pasting and enhancement options using a free program called Audacity on Ubuntu. So if someone has and knows how to use high quality audio modification software to do this properly, by all means please show us what youv'e got!
Hello
Is there any way to silence a call using the watch? I am not talking about rejecting the call, just to turn off the ringer.
It can be done by pressing the vol/power button on the phone but I cant find how to do it on watch.
quick google couldnt give me the answer, hope you guys know any way to acheive this
You can look at the app "Ringtone Remote" in Google Play. I haven't tried it, but it seems to be able to do what you want. It is also free!
When you cover the watch with a open palm, the watch will turn black and the phone will become silent and the call will continue to ring silently
Nice, didn't know that. It actually did work... the first time. When I test it the second time the call on the watch gets muted but the phone keeps on ringing, even though it did work the first time I tested.
thanks it works. But i dont get a 100% success rate. But it still works
Wear Mini Launcher, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.npi.wearminilauncher. It has a Widgets screen that controls multiple things on the phone, including allowing you to toggle speaker on, mute, or vibrate... from the watch.
I would also like to be able to touch one of the icons on the watch face that I am using to immediately mute the watches' speaker. That would solve your request and mine also. Thanks
