I use the GPE Rom by Danvdh and keep my phone in my pocket.
When I receive a call the lockscreen changes to answer mode and I sometimes hang up on the call trying to get the phone out of my pocket.
Is there a setting I am missing to change this?
Thanks, Randy

Incoming Call Ringtone Flip to Mute and Hold to Silence
My friend has been showing me the so called Flip to Mute and Hold to Silence features of his New HTC phone which he has purchased recently. He was quite exaggerating on the fact that his phone had those features while my Galaxy S lacked them. So, I started working on a port for the same and finally managed to integrate them into the stock Dialer.
Flip to Mute
When you are receving a call, you could simply MUTE the call Ringtone by flipping the phone with the screen facing the table surface.
Hold to Silence
When you receive a call, if you hold the phone in your hand with the screen angled towards your face, the Ringtone volume decreases until you lift the call.
Note: I have configured the sensor settings to be effective only when the phone is resting on a flat surface with the screen upwards. I have found that this type of configuration is required to prevent issues with phone going mute accidentally when its in your pocket and you receive a call. Unfortunately, I don't receive many calls to practically test it for accuracy. Hope it serves the purpose.
Installation Instructions
Download the attached file and flash with CWM3.
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!
This is just a MOD which is intended to work properly, but there might be chances of the MOD misbehaving. I am totally not responsible if a girl next door calls you up and you get a Force close on the Phone app. There might be some issues, hence install it only if you know how to rollback in case of any issues. Post them in the forum so that I could look into them. A logcat would be usefull.
Download - DEODEXED ROM ONLY!
Please check the attachment. There are 2 versions uploaded.
1. Flip and Hold
2. Flip Only
JVR Version by Brotuck : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16318566&postcount=72
The Phone.apk is based on JVQ release and it is based on the stock APK. There are no additional mods like disable increasing ringtone or fixing the FC with this app after a phone call.
Versions for the other firmwares will be released soon.
Sensor Usage
You might notice some Sensor Usage for Phone app. This is quite normal because the Sensors are used to check the Orientation of the phone. This would last only for the duration of the Call Ring. I have checked to see if the sensors are being stopped and It seems to work fine. Let me know if there are any issues, because if there is any issue with the sensors, it might lead to a battery drain.

It's working great when someone calls you. But there is one issue. After a call I get a FC with a phone.app... :/ Didn't happen to me before.

Does it happen for all the calls? I have rechecked with a call and everything seems to be find on my device. I am unable to replicate any such FC.
It happened once, after I called one of my friends. I'll keep you informed if anything like this happens again.
To avoid FC, please, use Phone.apk from 2.3.3 ROM, not from 2.3.4
great concept! amazing one!
tested it on few calls with phone at different positions, no problems whatsoever
donate this guy so he will not stop to develop!
ive merged it with autorotating phone/dialer and made cwm packs -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15821413#post15821413
"flipping" brilliant!
you are the man!
great work!
thank you for this
Wonderfull ! Great work dhiru !
Can this be used on JVP deox ROMs?
Hey Dhiru,
I noticed the sources only hold 2 smali files. Is it enough to just replace them in a decompiled phone.apk ?
Yes, 2 files are enough.
Super great. I love it. I just replaced the phone.apk with root explorer,done.
works great also as a tri-mod with landscape and non increasing ringtone mod =) no problems whatsoever
this is one of best mods ive seen - usefulness 696%

Glad to hear that
Superb just what I was looking for, had the mute feature on my omnia surprised it wasn't included on the galaxy as stock.well done has anybody tried this on deodexed jvp yet?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
If i leave the phone upside down after turning when i get a phonecall, does it stay silent ?
Otherwise i need to pick it up again and turn it again when someone calls me again.
This mod mutes the Ringer volume. It doesn't switch the phone to Silent mode. So, even if it is upside down, it rings. You need to place the phone on a surface with the screen facing the top.
I could mod it in such a way that it always stays silent when its turned upside down. I thought of this already, but I need to keep the sensors active all the while which would drain battery.
could it deactivate sensor right after you flip the phone to make first call silent and activate it on next call to check if it is still upside down?
Note: my phone is usually in silent mode (only vibrates for all notifications).
When I am in a phone call and someone texts me, the phone is not vibrating to let me know I have received a text. My Evo did this, and it is a great way to be notified while in a phone call. Wish I could get this phone to do the same thing.
Does anyone have any suggestions on any settings, apps, mods, etc. to change this?

I had this same problem with other Samsung phones. My moment never notified me audibly while I was in-call, either, until I applied a ROM that took the SMS app from some US Cellular phone.
Try Go SMS, it has options for audible or vibrate notifications... It will even allow you to customize the vibrate pattern if you like.
Did you try setting vibrate to always?
Hi everyone,
I'm having a rather weird problem, hope you can help me out.
Every time I don't answer a call (have a missed call) right after the call ends, the phone starts playing a notification (annoying one for that manner).
I assume that it"s alerting me about a missed call. supposably this should be a no brainier, and the option to disable it is supposed to be somewhere in the settings. But I can't find that setting. and the notification is driving me crazy.
Does anybody have any idea how to turn it off?????
Of course thank you for your time and effort...

well if your phone is rooted and have xposed framework install you can install the g3tweaksbox... from this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792242
the only way to disable those sound notifications without root etc is to put phone on vibrate or silent... the g3tweaksbox gets updated and soon will have more features (you can download the beta if you want)
I am rooted and have g3 tweak box... On its beta 1.1. But didn't see any option there to disable the iterating notification...

I guess wait till the next g3tweakbox update... it should be implemented soon...
I hope so... It's crazy LG didn't give us an option to disable it...
Hi there,
This maybe a stupid question.. but is there a way to get the stock incoming call popup that comes form the top like whatsapp that you get on various devices running stock android on htc sense instead of the full screen display on an incoming call?? Its intrusive, and most importantly it causes problems when i'm working on something and decline the call by accident just because i was going to tap on that area at that time.
Thanks
If I am reading on my phone and a call comes in I don't get any visual popup to answer or decline. The phone rings but I have to pull down the notification bar in order to answer.
I usually keep do not disturb on at all times with only favorites allowed through so don't know if it's the problem or something else is.
For example, if one of my kids calls I hear it ring but I have to search/ take extra steps in order to answer the call.
This only seems to happen with the screen on. I believe it works fine when screen is off.
How do I fix this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. I actually already had that setting checked.
I ended up finding another setting that seems to have fixed it. Can't remember where I found it but as long as it's working........
Glad you found it, had the same problem and I think I found the setting you did. For anyone else with this problem, in the Do Not Disturb setting, under Hide Notifications, there are settings that can be toggled for both screen on and screen off situations. Adjusting these should fix the issues.
Cheers,
