Alternatives/Mods for CM7 call screen ?

As many of us have experienced the hold button on CM7 screen gets activated accidentally most of the time . Are there any mod's or alternatives to change that screen or button ??????
Dev/ Themer's any clues on how i could go about it

+1. It bugged me so much I had to switch my rom. I want to go back to CM7 but cant as the hold button gets activated each and everytime i put my ear to my phone. The only way i can use my phone like a phone with cm7 is when i am holding it a mile away from my ear.

I just installed CM7 yesterday and tried this now. Why doesnt the screen turn off when you put it next to your ear? Silly decision.

Use the DHD proximity tool to fix that. I had/have this issue there seems to be an issue with kernel or some thing

You know .. i think we should post this on the cm7 website. I know the in call screen is from google, but surely cm7 people can do a better job.

[Solved] Random Max In-Call Volume & Max In-Call Volume on each reboot

Whenever I make or receive a call, I see my in-call volume at maximum level! I don't understand why it keeps doing this? I noticed this problem on all 3 of note 2. I keep adjusting to low but randomly just gets reseted to max again. Anyone else having the same issue with T-Mobile Note 2?
Update: finally found the culprit of this problem. The app "Tango" video chat messes with the in-call volume. Once account & app was uninstalled even after the reboot in-call volume setting never changed. Everything stayed as I left it and no more random MAX in-call volume.
Video to show what Tango is doing to my in-call volume.

Nobody has this issue? how come all 3 of my Note 2 has this issue =/

Anyone?

Sorry, this doesn't help but I usually keep my in-call volume at max so I haven't noticed this.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know how you keep the volume at max.. maybe it's just my phones but it's too painfully loud for me.
Would you mind trying to lower the call volume to lowest setting and restart the phone? See if the call volume goes back to max, I would really appreciate that.
For whatever the reason, the volume setting is not getting saved. So annoying since everytime i answer a call, it's trying to blow my eardrums out!

I'm guessing nobody has this in-call volume issues on their T-mobile Note2? Should I be considering an exchange....??

Just FYI multiple post saying anyone? Anyone? Pple just find annoying. Not trying to be rude. But from what I noticed from posts from other forums. Is when pple do that. They will never receive help or a reply from someone. Especially when the OP keeps doing that all in the same day.
Sometimes if you want help. You need patience. Especially here on xda. Pple here don't live there lives to help you. Right when you make a new post. Sometimes it could take days or even a week or two. But I'm positive if you don't do multiple post like this. And wait or even search the web. Even user a different phone. You will find ur answer. Remember google is ur best friend.
Anyways I don't no if its because of my rom or not but mind keeps going to vibrate and I have to keep turning it back to sound + vibrate
Oh ya you also have to be detailed when asking questions. Are you rooted or not. Stock or flashed a rom. Which rom. ...you get the point. The more you tell use the more likely a chance someone will help you. If you choose not to look it up urself

My bad, wasn't trying to be annoying or anything. I searched around in many different forums but still no answers and didn't get any replies on this issue, even the t-mobile support didn't know what was causing this issue. I guess I was running thin on patience.
I'm running all on stock and all 3 devices does this. T-Mobile sales rep said maybe it's part of the feature.. But we all know that's b/s. Changing in-call volume randomly doesn't sound much like a great feature to me....

Ya unfortunately that sucks. If you were rooted I would say try to flash a different rom. But since ur not my best guess would be to search around for an app that has something to do with volume/ in call volume. There's an app for everything these days. Ur just gunna have to read all the details in every volume app you can find. I'm sure there's something. Good luck. If you happen to find something. Post it hear in case others run into the same problem as you in the future.

Am I the only one with this problem? I wish some of the same device/carrier users would give me some feedbacks so I can figure out what to do....

you talking about in call volume or ringer volume? if its in call volume im pretty sure that if i lower it during a phone call it stays that volume even on the next call
im not 100% sure though...and im not sure if it stands through a reboot but i am pretty sure...cause i dont leave my in call volume on max because it is quite loud and distorted...if it always went back up to max i probably wouldve noticed..again not 100% sure

It's the in-call volume. I have no idea what's causing this... When I lower the volume it will stay that way only for that call and next call or sometimes even during the call volume goes up to max randomly. It's driving me nuts cause it's so loud and I can't even answer the call without worrying its gonna blow my eardrums!
I tried restoring factory but that didn't help and all three of my Note 2 do this so I'm lost here. Not like I rooted and modified anything, all is in stock.
Would you mind trying to put in-call volume to lowest and rebooting the phone? See if it goes back to max by default. That's how mine is set to every reboot.

Try rebooting, see if that setting sticks.
It does this all randomly. Setting will stay that way for awhile and all of sudden max volume.

yeah..volume went back to max after reboot
try this
go to dialer -> call settings -> my call sound...there are 2 options that might help you...one for sound settings (maybe choosing one of them will help you) or personalize call sound..that one asks you to plug in ear phones..im not sure what happens after you run that test and if it only applies to earphones but you can try it

Why would it do that... It's not suppose to. I never had that issue with ATT Note, N7000 and i9300... I get the feeling many people just don't pay too much attention to it and when it does go up, people just lower the volume and forget about it.
Whatever the reason setting of the in-call volume isn't being saved. And something is making it to go back to default. Just don't know what though...
Keep your eye on that volume, and check if it goes up randomly.
P.S. I really appreciate the replies, been waiting for awhile.

Yeah, I really didn't want to annoy anyone but this little bug was driving me insane. Spending hours with T-Mobile tech supports weren't even helpful either. I hope it isn't a defective unit... Please let me know if you notice this issue! Thanks again =)

I think I found the culprit. Seems like "Jays headset control" app was causing this issue. It was never an issue on any other device but not sure why it's causing on note2. I uninstalled the app yesterday and so far problem hasn't come back yet. Time will tell but so far so good.
Thanks for looking and replying to my post. I can finally relax!
Update: wasn't jays app... Still having issue.

Can I prevent my phone from automatically lowering media volumem

So I'm running the latest version of Lifeless ROM and thus far, things are great. However, I'm still bugged about my phone automatically lowering the volume of my music/games every time my headphones/aux cable gets unplugged. A minor issue, yes, but an annoying one nonetheless. Is there a way to get rid of this? Thanks.

I don't think there is. There's two independent volume levels for headsets and speakers. What you're talking about is in place to prevent your movie or game from being blasted in a public place.
Essentially an embarrassment saver.
So I think you're one in a few for thinking this should be removed...

No I would love to remove it. Every time I plug my phone into my car, I have to turn the volume back up. Its to protect your ears and hearing when you put head phones in.
Most CM and customs ROMS remove the feature, or have the option to turn it off. Hopefully we'll get a ROM with the option soon.

Exactly. I was afraid I'd have to wait for CM or another AOSP ROM to do so, but as I said earlier, it's not *that* big of a deal; just a pain in the neck.

I'd have to agree, it's a total pain in the butt for me. If anyone does happen to come up with a way to disable it, beers are on me, lol.

[Q] low bluetooth volume

I am running stock rooted rom. When paired with my car bluetooth, the call volume is extremely low. Is there an easy fix for this? Would a custom rom fix this?

Getting my phone replaced next week due to bad charging port. Hopefully the new one will not have this problem.

Did a new phone work? I have been having the same problem and nothing fixes it. I have tried different ROMs with no success. I thought stock would fix it but i still have the same problem. Its hit or miss. On the first call that i make from my car the audio is normally great. As soon as i hang up and make another call, the audio drops and i have to crank my stereo volume up to the max just to barely hear.

No change with the new phone. Next step is to try a 4.4.2 rom.

I tried Mahdi, had an improvement in normal call volume but nothing significant with bluetooth volume.

I haven't had a chance to test my bluetooth volume yet, but I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524083 and it has increased my in call volume. Only difference is I used a value of 10 instead of 100. I'm hoping the bluetooth volume will increase with this mod.

I was able to increase my Bluetooth volume to more than acceptable level, very pleased with this mod.

I've had this issue on my Optimus and my Nexus 7. Thanks for the tip, going to give it a shot!

Something went wrong, my phone is now in a boot loop (black screen with backlight) now. Hoping I can get it fixed without wiping it, but I'm at work without my personal laptop so I won't be able to mess with it until later :/

Volume boost?

Anyone come up with a volume hack for headphones? On the g2 you could edit the mixerpaths file. Im rooted without twrp and tried that and got stuck in a nice bootloop and had to push the stock rom thru adb to get back up. Once i get twrp i can run thru some settings. Just wondering if anyone else is bummed out by this low volume.

I can say my phone don't need volume boost. Phone sounds great. Have to turn it down. Sounds way better than note 3

The speaker is fine. Although I wish it could go up by one or two when I'm listening through headphones.

Ooops yea edited my post to reflect that im talking about headphone volume.

I had a chance to play YouTube on G3 through speaker.
The speaker is nice if it's not louder than S3.

I'll take a crack at it. I'm at work now but ill see if i can figure it out in the am

Partially hijacking this thread, but does anybody know if there's a hidden way to disable the safe volume warning every time I plug in my headset? This is the most annoying thing on this phone, especially if I do a quick travel to n from lunch and work, I have to keep pressing the volume button again n again. I know most likely it's baked into the ROM, but maybe someone knows something.
OP, you sure this is not the problem you're facing? At first I thought I had gone all the way on the volume, but I realized I had to press it again to boost the volume to the max.

Nah I wish. I just like really loud music. The phone is capable of doing much higher levels with a few slight tweaks. I'm sure for most its loud enough.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but, G3 Tweaksbox has this option. It is under sound tweaks. Then check "Disable Safety Headset Volume"

I tried the V4A version and I must say it did make a bit of a difference in sound boost but one of the main things I use the headphones for at times is making phone calls. When I tried to make a call the volume of the call still sounded low. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have Sirius radio installed and you tube and sound on both definitely improved a bit. I wanted to try the other method by modifiying the path files but I heard some issues causing boot loops and it pretty much scared me away. I'm also still trying to figure out how to install TWRP on my LG G3 since I rooted it manually, I can't figure out how to get it on my device. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Finaly got TWRP on my device.

It's not a problem with the phones volume control but with your hearing ability.
I had hearing tests done last year at the clinic and they said I had very good sense of hearing... kind of a weird thing. Anyways, I can get it to about 75% volume and it's extremely loud. Any more than that is painful.
