[Q] Speaker phone - Activating every call!

Got a bit of a weird problem, all of a sudden my DHD keeps on activating the speaker phone every time i answer a call on it.
It never used to do this and i'm bamboozled by what's causing this. I've tried turning off the flip over phone to activate speaker mode and it's still doing this.
Looked through all the settings with no clue what has changed.
Tested it 6 times today using the house phone and it activates if you slide to answer or press the green answer button so it's not like i'm hitting it accidentally.
HELP!

same here..googling for an answer now :S

found something? got the same problem

My HTC Inspire started doing the same thing today. Kinda weird, as i haven't changed any setting or added / removed anything for a few days

You may have flip for speaker switched on. Go to Settings>Sound and then under Incoming Calls uncheck the option for Flip for Speaker.

Did you make your DHD wet somehow?
I pour some coke on my Desire and it started to activate the speaker for calls as default. I have started to use Sanity app from Market to force it not to use speaker.
After a few days I have removed the app and everything is fine since then. The coke has been dried out I guess.
Try Sanity.

just a question, but do u have the 'callrecorder' app?
or anything like that?

i had a similiar problem, in my case it was made by car mode.
the phone "knows" that is plugged in a car dock cause it makes a intentional short in micro usb port... one of the features of car mode is always turn on speaker.
sometimes that short happens even without car dock (that was my case).
i solve it by cleaning the port with a really tiny pin and isopropyl alcohol... you can test it by touching a pin in some contacts of the port...

and now im having this problem.......
maybe some moisture ?

Did you try to calibrate your G-Sensors? they might be wrong and triggering the flip to speaker phone function.

Hi I had this problem too and found it was an app called power amp I had installed on my dhd! After uninstalling it the speaker issues stopped! Hope this helps
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Anyone fix this yet cos my dhd has just started this, I've turned off the car panel thing and I've cleaned all the fluff out of the USB port but it's still on speaker phone. It seems to have started after I charged it up in my van with a car charger. Any idea's cos this is doing my nut in.

Have the same problem. Rebooting the phone fixes it for me. The problem starts again every time I turn the speaker on.

I think it's not a hardware fault or software issue, the phone's screen automatically lock when you place the phone near the ear, they use proximity sensor for auto turn off the screen. When something block the sensor signals it turns the screen off. But sometimes when we call someone and if our head or ear not close enough to block those signals display won't turn off and buttons are remain active, so if our face touch the screen (loud speaker button) it turns on the loud speaker. That's what happen I guess, because it happen also for me most of the time

Hi.
I had the same problem. I found out that I had the HTC navigation app running in the background. This made the phone turn on the speaker on incoming calls.

do you know how to uninstall this stupid app its driving me mad, keeps starting up automatically the navigation head wrecking to say the least

Magnetic Car Dock Issues

I have a problem using my magnetic car dock and Tasker profile with this device.
The Tasker profile launches the Car Dock app once the audio lead is plugged in. The screen stays on until I remove the lead where it exits the app and turns screen off.
Unfortunately on stock based custom ROMs the screen doesn't stay on once docked. On CM13 it works flawlessly but I had reboot issues on that ROM.
I have tried apps, turned off QuickCircle case, tried a Terminal command but still no luck.
Does any one have a solution? I'm willing to physically remove the magnet sensor from the device but don't know it's location.
Thanks.

A3(2017) with Neon Flip: Auto switch on/off?

I have a brand new A3(2017) with a genuine Samsung Neon flip cover. I'd expected the phone to switch on/off when I open/close the cover. However, when I open the cover it starts displaying the time instead of the lock screen, and when I close the cover it doesn't switch off (as can be seen by the glowing edges).
Did I overlook an additional setting?

After some fiddling with the settings it suddenly works as expected. Unfortunately I have no idea which setting did it ... .

To work properly you will need to turn on both NFC and Android Beam.

Interesting... I have NFC disabled (don't know about Android Beam??) but closing the cover still works.

I had this issue and fixed like that :
- disable NFC
- turn off the phone
- remove the cover
- turn on the phone + PIN
- insert the cover
- enable NFC
the cover should work again now, you can disable the NFC if you want

I noticed the cover stops working after I answered a phone call.
To fix:
- open cover
- reboot
- close cover
A bit annoying...

Solution found!
Hi. I have found a solution to this issue.
I have a brand new A3 2017. One day after I purchased it I upgraded it to Android 7 Nougat. After this update the neon flip cover didnt6work anymore. NFC and other settings didn't change anything.
I finally managed to solve the issue in NFC/NFC and paying settings. I cancelled the default option "automatically detect NFC setting" to something like "use normal Android settings.
Then I disabled NFC and my cover works like under Android 6.
Hope this helps.

I'm still stuck.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The funny thing is that it seems the cover is detected. The 2 buttons on the bottom light up when I open the neon cover. However, the screen is not switched off nor on.
I tried playing with the NFC settings and read on another forum that you need to install the flipcase when the device is on but not screen locked. Only little success from time to time. This seems not very properly programmed

I'm having the exact same problem, my cover was working for over two months and suddenly it's not. The two buttons on the bottom also light up and off when I open and close the case, but the screen is not responsive.

A3(2017) Neon flip (Illuminated Edge Notifications) turning off?
I'm looking to turn it off, I'm trying to take photo's with the cover closed, but the neon flip cover closes my whole phone, and I don't want that, I only wanted a random phone cover my parents got me.

Disable flip cover sensors, booting into TWRP without fastboot,camera apk,quickcharge

This weekend I unlocked the bootloader and installed LineageOS 14.1 (rooted) on my LG G4 / UK h815. I have a flipcover case and I want to stop the screen turning on/off when I open/close the cover. There doesn't seem to be an option within Nougat/LOS 14.1 to disable this feature. I've found a few apps that claim to disable the proximity sensor but none fixed this issue so I presume it must depend on the magnet sensor instead? Has anyone else been successful in disabling this? How did you do it?
I flashed TWRP to my recovery partition following the instructions here:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h815/install
fastboot said it flashed OK but I have not been able to enter into TWRP by doing the VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON dance. All I get when doing that is the stock factory reset menus so I have only been able to boot into TWRP by using fastboot. Is there something missing from that guide or is there a better guide thats guaranteed to enable me to boot into TWRP by using the boot button trick?
I knew the LOS camera wasn't going to be as good as the stock one so I used ES File Manger to dump the camera apk from the stock rom but the apk failed to install, claiming it was corrupt. Maybe it would've worked if I dumped it using a different app or maybe its not compatible with Nougat? Can I download a working apk of the stock camera from somewhere?
Finally, does Quick Charge work under LOS? Under the stock rom it would say 'Fast charging' when I use my quick charge charger and cable but it always says 'Charging slowly' under LOS whether I use quickcharge gear or not.
Thanks

The first showstopping (really annoying) bug I've come across with LOS 14.1 is that the screen randomly goes very dim, even when the battery is fully charged, and adjusting the screen brightness slider (if you can make it out) has no effect. The only fix when this happens seems to be rebooting.
I won't be putting up with that happening multiple times a day so unless someone has a fix I'll be looking for another ROM.

Thats Live Display. Sensor is Reading Brightness and Adjust Screen brightness. Sometimes that takes 2-3 Sec.
With case You should disable it in Options otherwise you will deal with it most everytime.
Next:
Did you know what you are doing? Stock camera on custom rom? really?!! With LOS 14 u installed a custom kernel, so stock camera isnt supported anymore. NO driver / different Driver for camera as cause. Use Google Camera or other. use Search.
next:
Quick Charge work, but it is only a flaw of los that it shows slow charging.
other suggestions would be it is a kernel setting.

Hi uweork
Sounds like I need to disable live display to avoid the dim screen problem then. The screen brightness slider shouldn't stop working though, surely?
You say I should be able fix my flipcase screen problem by disabling it in options (do you mean Settings?) but where exactly? I have tried disabling 'Flip cover' under settings but that doesn't stop the cover turning the screen on/off when I open/close the flip cover. The only solution I can think of is working out which devices (under /dev/input probably) are used for the magnet and proximity sensors then writing a script that will delete them at boot but that seems like an awful hack to me - I'm hoping there is a nicer fix.
Thanks!

Live display is a colour temp change (basically a night mode). Sounds more like a bug that you can't change brightness manually.
As for the flip cover, why do you want to disable it fully? I don't think you can even on stock LG can you?

I've fixed my screen woes with xposed and the Magnet Sensor Control module 1.1. It only claims to support Nexus devices but it seems to work fine with the G4 too.

Question ZFold 3 - disable fully charged notification and force landscape mode while in car dock

Could someone please point me to the notification app that causes the screen to light up when fully charged and how to force the landscape mode when the phone screen goes into AOD mode?
I have a car cradle/charger that is in landscape mode with the phone open like a tablet and it's annoying when the battery is fully charged the screen keeps lighting up. Also, when the screen times out and enters AOD mode, it rotates back to portrait mode when fully opened in landscape mode.
I was able to disable this on my Note 10+ but it seems to be a different process for the Fold3.
Thanks

Are you using a car dock that plugs into the base of the phone or is it a wireless charging dock?

Wireless fast charging dock.

I also use a wireless car dock and have had to make some changes to use the Fold3 properly.
First I set up developer mode so that I could enable screen on while charging. This way the screen would normally not turn off while in the cradle. Here is how to get developer mode set:
Step 1: Go to Settings > About Phone.
Step 2: Tap Software Info > Build Number.
Step 3: Tap Build Number seven times.
Then enable Keep Screen On when Charging which will keep it out of AOD
Second I set up the Assistant menu from Accessibility Options in Settings.
Step 1: Go to Settings > Accessibility.
Step 2: Tap Interaction and dexterity >turn On Assistant menu
Step 3: Select items that will help while driving.
A floating ever-present icon will now be on your screen (you can change the transparency) and you can tap it to show items to change. I use the Volume item all the time as my car dock hides the volume control. Screen off is good if yo want to override the always on while charging setting for a bit. Screenshot is wonderful and easier than any other way to save what you're looking at.
Also make sure all apps are set for Auto rotating so they are easy to use in the car dock. There is a screen rotation selection in the Assistant in case one pops up that is not set to rotate on it's own.
Hope this helps!

Use Bixby Routines to keep it on landscape when in your car. If you connect the phone Bluetooth with your car stereo, use that as the condition, otherwise whatever else might fit (not sure they separate wireless charging from just charging in general). I'm not quite sure what you mean by the phone keeps lighting up when charged?

It only does that for a second and only if the phone is off, so I'm not sure what the big deal is to have that happen, especially if you aren't even paying attention to it because you're driving? Not once while driving have I ever noticed it happen, and I keep my phone on a wireless charging holder in the car (I use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Tethering to my stereo on it for music and Google Maps on my Android car stereo) where it generally is on AOD while I'm driving. It sits right next to the stereo screen.

It lights up my entre cab and the glare blocks vision to my drivers side mirror.
I have the fold open and in landscape mode so it's a significant light source when this happens.
So I assume the charging notifications have been removed from the SYSTEMUI app now?

Why do you have it open if you don't use it while driving, as using it would be even brighter than a quick little blip on the screen? Not sure how it is even that bright, either, but in the car mine is closed on the wireless charger holder since I use my stereo screen for Google Maps, music, launcher, etc. (and when parked can use basically any other app like YouTube or Chrome). Do you not have a stereo screen in your car, as I can see how not having one would mean your eyes aren't adjusted to having a screen in the dark car? (My screen auto-adjusts the brightness, I believe.) What are your phone screen settings?
You can turn off the charging sound, but that's all I see about the charging notification in the settings.
ETA: Out of curiosity, I tested charging it to 100% with the screen off, phone open, and me watching it for when it turned 100%. It did nothing but change the number to 100 and the battery icon to full, so I have no idea what your mean by the screen turning on. I was thinking maybe it does the same thing as when you first start charging it with the green circle thing, but it doesn't. Maybe you are using a third-party charging screen that you forgot about? Like from a weather app or something?

So, if it is already on, I don't understand your problem? The phone itself doesn't do anything to alert you when it is fully charged.

I don't always have the fold3 on when I'm driving at night. Sometime I use a navigation app.
The issue as explained in the 1st post is when the fold3 is opened fully and in the wireless charging cradle, and I am driving (particularly at night) and when the phone reaches a fully charged state, a notification shows "fully charged" and the screen lights up for about 5 sec.
I don't know how clearer I can explain that I'm looking to disable this notification as I did with my Note 10+, which did the exact same thing when fully charged and docked.

Mine doesn't light up like that, so I don't know why yours does. Mine can't be open while on the wireless charger, but closed it doesn't turn on and plugged in while open it doesn't turn on when it reaches 100%. Is it turning on your lock screen? If so, I guess change that to just a black screen. If something else, maybe it is a third-party app you brought over from your previous phone.

There was a notification setting in SYSTEM UI a couple versions ago that let you disable the fully charged notification.. Seems to be missing in the latest Android release.

My charger is similar (with the suction cup and curved arm going down), but I wouldn't want my phone open on the charger as it would block my stereo screen (2-DIN size) which I use for Google Maps and other apps, and I don't use my phone screen while driving (just use it for WiFi tethering so my stereo gets data and for Bluetooth for music, calls, Google Assistant, and notifications read out loud from Bixby). If I'm parked and waiting, I use my phone in my hand for ease.
I don't know about the setting, but it is weird if they took a setting away but left it as each person had it set at that moment.

Just bumping this thread as I'm still looking for a solution..
The notification I am trying to disable is for 'battery full' and 'wireless charging paused' if anyone can help.
Thanks
