Is it pssible to intergrate to CM a Ringtone silencer on handsent movement. The same feature is embeded and very useful on Modaco Desire Rom i used. When the phone is ringing and you grab it and move it the ringtone is silenced.
I've been curious about this feature. So what if the phone is in your pocket and starts to ring. From the movement inside of you pocket, would the phone then silence itself? It seems like a pretty cool feature, but if it just goes off based on any movement, that may not work out so well for me.
To tell you the truth i didn't face any problems from the silencing in my pocket. The algorith htc used is pretty "smart" and in most cases it understood when you were aproacing your head and silenced the ringtone.
If that's the case then it looks like the phone isn't silencing itself based on feedback from the accelerometer, but rather, by feed back from the proximity sensor.

It has to be the accelerometer. I have the Sprint Hero, and we have no Proximity sensor on or device. With the 2.1 leak loaded on mine, the sound volume does go way down when I pick up the phone, and I have never had any problems with it in my pocket.

HI,
Here's an idea for developers who doesn't know what app to write next.
I was thinking about using a front camera as a ear/face detector. You start it along with the dialer and monitor the output. As long as the picture is bright above set threshold app does nothing, once the picture tuns black (when you put the phone to your head) the app turns off the screen, turns off outer speaker etc.
There is of course problem of calls at night but still I think it would be nice and maybe even useful app.
So, anyone want to try ?
I'd have thought the biggest problem here would be telling the difference between my ear and the inside of my pocket.
a motion sensor would be helpfull here :/
there was a great discussion about wearable computing on the chaos communication congress a few weeks ago.
they mentioned problems like "where is the device" ie. tracking the position on your body. on possible solution is sending and recognizing a sound played by the external speaker and recorded via the mic thus you can determine if its in the pocket or not

Would this really be a problem? I'd think that turning the screen off while the device is in your pocket would be just as useful as while near your face.

This could be at least partially solved by using the system clock to only have the app active during specified hours of the day.

Not to mention that the idea mentioned in the original post suggested starting the "ear-detection" with the dialer. Hopefully you don't routinely use the dialer while it's in your pocket.
This is a great idea... but do get me wrong; a face recognition app to unlock the device could be a start
Ignore me I'm an idiot. I thought you wanted the phone to answer when it's up against your ear.
Stay with me now, I haven't seen anyone talk about this so this is either perfectly normal or something is wrong with my phone. I just got my phone today, but when you shake or lightly tap the top of the phone to your palm, the phone makes a noise as if something is lose inside, a rattle if you will.
To me it sounds like the internal weight that causes the phone to vibrate. I first noticed it simply setting the phone down on my desk this morning, and started trying to find ways to reproduce the noise (tapping to your palm works best)
What concerns me is that my G1 didn't make this noise, and i'm just wondering if everyone else's N1 does this. So if anyone can confirm my insanity, that would be great.
I can't say I am getting the same noise with my phone. (Thankfully)
I must say the biggest thing I **DON'T** miss is the SQUEEKY sounds my old G1 would make!!!!
No idea what youre talkin about

Hey, I totally know what you are talking about
Nothing is wrong with the phone Sounds like a normal plastic vibration. It is either the trackball or the accelerometer. Our it could be something else those are just my best guess.
As far as I am concerned it is just a little loose, but now that I think about it the headphone jack could be making the noise. That recedes into the phone body so requires a casing to insert the jack into the phone.
Nothing to be alarmed about.
Hrm, Well I can say its not the trackball (although that initially made the most sense!), I could still hear the noise wile holding the trackball. And I tried the same thing with headphones connected, and could still hear it. But, its reassuring that my phone isn't the only one doing this.
I get the same thing. Could be the vibra motor. like shaking a ps3 controller produces similar feedback of something moving around.

Yup, just wanted to make sure it was normal. I'm pretty sure this is accurate.
the rattle noise is most definatly the auto focus camera. It commonly affects the iPhone 3GS, it doesnt cause any problems, but if the rattle gets to you you can send it in if you so wish.

Hey, you are 100% correct!. I can hear it after when I have it snap pictures, exact same noise. I probably won't be able to stand it and will have it fixed/replaced. But that is most defiantly it.
i wouldnt exactly go sending it in.. this is normal.. mine does the same thing.. so does my mother's eris..
Mine does this as well and I too find it extremely annoying. Can anyone possibly confirm if they all do this and if it is normal or not?
Bump (10 char)
How anyone can find this extremely annoying is beyond me..
Stop using your phone as maracas I say.
My Nexus One just recently started doing this, I haven't dropped it or banged it against anything either. It happens when I open and close any app that uses the camera.

Lol those squeeks were so fregin annoying.
i have the same thing on HTC Desire
I have the same rattling noise. I even hear it when I have the haptic feedback on. Each vibration leads to this rattling/crackling noise. Super annoying.
indeed it's the camera. i especially notice it when using the barcode scanner app.
I was watching a Galaxy S4 commercial that featured the ability to answer calls with a wave over the device. I thought that was actually kind of cool, so I went searching in the Play store to see if there was an app that replicated that feature.
I found something called Wave Control (and Wave Control Pro), so I promptly downloaded it and installed it on my One. The standard app doesn't let you do much customizing of the wave features, but I was able to test the basics with music control. What the app does is it looks for triggers of the proximity sensor and uses that determine what commands to send to the device.
Unfortunately, it looks like the sensor in the One isn't the best for this kind of app. The default is a hover to play/pause music (hold your hand over the sensor), a wave for next track, 2 waves for the previous track, and 3 waves to enable/disable wave control. For the One, I could only get play/pause and next track to work. The proximity sensor seems to be too slow to detect multiple waves. After the first wave, the sensor seems to ignore inputs for a bit longer than is needed for the app to work.
Just to make sure it wasn't just me not understanding how the app worked, I tried it on my Nexus 4 and it worked fine. The sensor on that phone was a lot faster to react to whatever my motions were.
This is disappointing because it looks like I will need the Pro version if I want to answer phone calls with a wave of my hand. The default is one wave to silence the ringer, 2 waves to answer the call (which doesn't work on my One).
Just wondering if anyone is willing to give it a try and see if it works better on their One vs. my One.
Just installed for you yes music is working but phone is not shame

Yup, exactly the same for me. The sensor just wouldn't work with multiple waves, only play/pause and next track.

Cool. Thanks for the updates guys!
I guess it really is a gimmick, but it would be cool if it would work better. I did find one annoying little quirk. Since I have it set to work with the screen off, anytime something covers the sensor, it will start playing music. This could be me reaching over to turn on the phone, or a paper covering it, or me picking the phone up by the top side. I'll probably play with the app a bit more, but I'm not sure it's a keeper.
Yeah i uninstalled already lol
Just tried it... Just uninstalled it, tbh, i got quite frustrated with it. lol
[Q] Do you guys get a noise when the vibration motor "vibrates" when typing?
So when I'm typing at all. The vibration motor makes a like scratching noise and doesn't vibrate but when say I call it. It'll vibrate normally. Is this normal?

Some of the Nexus 5 devices have this too. Some consider it a defect, and some dont. If you dislike it, I would just exchange device for a new one.
Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk
I'm noticing this, too. I also saw a similar post on the nexus 6 subreddit.
Can more owners of the Nexus 6 chime in? Is this a defect or normal?
Mine does it as well - I think it's normal. Probably the camera lens.
Mine too
The vibrator in this phone is really loud. If it is a ticking sound I agree that it is probably the OIS parts in the camera making noise as they move around since the motors appears to be near the camera. IF you shake your phone you might be able to hear it as well and a lot of people think that's a defect when they've not use a device with OIS before.
Occasionally once I start typing a lot, yes. I just turned the vibration length down in the keyboard settings... helped somewhat.
Ah so this one also must have cheap vibrator like n5. I wished it had Samsung like one. Bad..
I had to exchange my first N6 for a new one due to the sensors failing. My original one did exactly this, it was driving me nuts. My new one does not though.
Mine is loud but it doesn't rattle anything
Mine is loud also. Noticeable while in a quiet room. Nothing seems broken but I hate it drives me nuts. Other then that phone is great
On the first generation nexus 5, I've observed this. The culprit was the loose physical buttons. Do check the same on the nex6 as well.
Changing the orientation of the phone usually helps.
Yeah I was just thinking today how ****ty mine sounds when I'm in a quiet environment. I turned off my feedback for the keyboard . Went back to my M8 and that vibration is solid when typing.
I've returned att n6 for vibrator rattle. I am not exchanging it becuz I don't want to play return game. I am really disapponted for this price they used cheap vibrator like N5. I am done.
Anybody doesn't hear rattle I quiet environment?
Mine is loud also.
Had the same problem on my first n6. The second one is MUCH better!
I'm not talking about loud vibrator. Something's rattling while vibrating in quiet environment. You hear it.
I notice this too when I use haptic feedback on my Nexus 6. I hear a click/rattle or something coming from the top speaker. It's kinda annoying in a quiet environment.
It only happens when it vibrates quickly (i.e. typing with haptic feedback on). I don't hear it when there's a longer vibration (i.e. incoming message/phone call). Either that, or the vibration is so powerful/loud it's overcoming the rattle.
I'm going to the AT&T store after work that has a Nexus 6 demo model. I'll compare it with that and report back with my findings.
Mine seems to have this issue too. I can hear some noises when I'm typing with haptic feedback on. Not a big issue to me too since I dislike typing with haptic feedback.
I'm having issues with my z3 compact.like when i'm in a call,the screen gets activated randomly when i move the phone .if i hold it straight onto my ears it works all good.But if i move the phone even if very little around or take away the phone from my face and put it back,the screen gets activated and randomly touched.Anyone having the issue while in call?
my past phones are, Sony live with walkman,HTC desire X,Moto G,LG G3,Moto X.So i know how it should be.Never had that kind of behavious before with sensors.
Not that sort of problem... my problem is the proximity sensor often does not reactivate the screen when I take the phone away from my face to end a call.
Do you have a screen protector on the front?
no I don't use any protector.and I have the problem you mentioned as well.
if I put the phone on my face at certain angle,proximity sensor won't turn off the display.with other phones I never had this sort of weird problems.
According to Antutu, there is no proximity sensor in my phone. Very surprised to find that out. Using D5833.
its very annoying, sometimes its working and sometimes you have no access to the display. When you call somebody and are in the mailbox, there is no way of hanging up, you have to wait till the other site quits the call. How can sony produce something like that?! Is there no quality control?
I would really appreciate If somebody has/finds a workaround for this issue.
Thanks in advance!
Thorsten
I have the same issue and I've figured out that it's more likely to happen when I hold it to my left ear than my right. It's probably due to the position of the proximity sensor. I always use my phone on my left ear but fortunately I don't see this as a very big issue.
