automatic speakerphone - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys so my problem is every time i make a phone call it automatically goes to speakerphone and i manually always have to switch it back to normal. any one have this problem? i was previously running custom roms but i recently moved back to stock 2.2..
TIA

it can be in car mode.

how would i take it off from car mode?

should be in your settings.. or possibly the car mode is just stuck on you try rebooting? or reloading stock could be a bad download or install)

IF you use Go SMS, it's that. There was a bug that caused phones to enter speakerphone immediately on call. They updated it and it's fixed. Happened to mine, too.

ok thanks yea i guess it was go sms ! so weird! i never an application can effect a phone like that!?
another question now are any the GO dev. apps effecting anyones external speaker? seems like im missing calls and alarms because the speaker isnt lound anymore!

[Q] Incoming Ringtone not working, Froyo 2.2.1 XXJPU

I just flashed the ROM to stock XXJPU 2.2.1..
Everything's outstanding except the incoming call ringtone and vibration..
Whenever someone calls me up, the ringtone sounds for some miliseconds.. and then it's just gone... no vibration in silent mode.. no ringtone in general mode..
I never faced this problem before but facing this after I flashed to XXJPU..
Any solution?
Very strange, I haven't had this happen at all and I'm using JPU.
Ahh..
The message notification is working like a charm but the problem is with incoming calls only :S
Checked all the volumes, ringtones, nothing works. Even the vibration mode is not working.. Phone remains silent while someone calls me up.
wow...
maybe u have the bad firmware... so where can u download this firmware.... any links? and do i need the password on the zip file???
Both my girlfriend and myself have a similar problem, oddly enough we have different firmware and models. Call ringtones and message alerts rarely work. E-mail notifications and such are fine. I've got an 16 GB Australian GT-I9000 (Optus) running JPU. However my girlfriend has a 8 GB GT-I9000 (International) running the latest official (Kies) firmware, JPO.
We're both with different telecomm providers so I don't think it's a network related issue. I'm a little surprised to find that so few other people have the same problem. I'm a bit busy of late but I'll see what I can find out. If anyone else has any information please don't hesitate to share it.
I have exactly the same problem, since I upgraded to JPU. With my previous upgrades, I had no problem so it seems to be a JPU's bug. But, why only some of us are concerned ?
What could I do ? Any ideas ??

I just "fixed" mine somehow by fiddling with settings. I probably shouldn't have done so as now I don't actually know what the problem was (so I can't make a real fix). However, I just tried reselecting my call ringtone, message ringtone, changed my volume up and down, turned silent on and then back off a couple times and enabled vibrate for all calls (not just on silent). Then the next time I got a SMS it worked. I don't know if it will stay working though.
Thanx for answering ! Me, I have no problem with SMS notification. Only calls ring. But, I will follow your note : play with volumes, mp3, sounds, notification modes, ...
I just notice that an icon appeared just a semi-second after a call arrives : that's the "Silent mode activated" icon (an HP with a slash on it !). But I'm not in silent mode !
I had this problem, so I re-flashed and only restored apps and not system data, everything is fine now.
Hey, that's fine, I've found the reason why my phone stopped to ring : an app not compatible with version 2.2.1 called NetQin Mobile Manager v3.2 ! I just uninstalled it and my phone found back his voice ! lol !

HELP. all incoming calls go to speakerphone in CM7

i'm not completely sure, but i remember seeing an option on CM7 somewhere that said incoming calls to speakerphone. i turned it on, then i updated to 7.02, now i can't find that option anywhere, but it's still turned on. and ALL my incoming calls turn the speakerphone on without any way to stop it.
i've spent hours going through all 120 apps in my phone and in every single setting trying to find something to turn it off. I've even used titanium backup to try and wipe the settings and CM settings with no luck.
I don't mind this being a toggle on/off like the carmode app, but i can't have it always on. I have to ignore important calls now just because it takes 10 seconds for the phone to actually let me turn off the speaker.
so please, if anyone can help me here. i'm about ready to wipe the phone but i seriously don't want to waste and entire day doing that so someone please help.
I font remember ever seeing this option in my cyan 7. Interesting.

Yeah I don't recall that settings.
maybe it wasn't and i'm just crazy, but i'm still having this issue, and i'm about to wipe my phone to fix it, so if anyone knows any other way i'd seriously appreciate it.
Maybe try to wipe Cyanogenmod Settings using Titanium Backup? If all else fails...instead of doing a full wipe...try the /system only wipe that tamasek has in the nightly forum somewhere...that way...your data and apps are still in tact...and can just flash a new nightly...then if it still doesn't work...I guess you already know what to do.
I can't believe it but this actually happened to me today. I hung up and had the caller call back and it went back to normal.
Did you ever get it fixed? I put the newest stable version on my EVO and I have the same issue all outgoing calls go right to speakerphone and all incoming go right to speakerphone..
Also I notice carmode starts up on it's own as well.. but turning it off incoming/outgoing calls will still right to the speakerphone

[Q]Update to 2.3.4 offcial version - wifi, gps, signal problems

Hello everyone,
So i upgraded my O2X like a month ago... and since then i have had issues with it...
I've upgraded to 2.3.4 from LG official updates... and since my upgrade i've got some serious issue's with my phone..
1. Alot of times i can't send any messages, and i have to retry like 2-4 times before it's working...
2. people can't call me from time to time.... it just hang's up from the person trying to call me...
3. sometimes when talking to somebody, the sound get's all wierd like a scrathing sound with other mixed wierd other sounds... it goes like that for about 5-15 seconds.. Then it stops and and often then i can't her the other person anymore... but sometimes it also goes back to normal..
4. Signal is lost sometimes... the signal bar indicates that their's no phone service.... and then comes back after like 5-15 seconds...
5. wifi aint working anymore... can't use the internet..
6. today i needed to use the gps... but when it finally has found the route i need.. it aint "updating" where im driving..... so i have to close the gps, and then start it again so i can get a update of where the car is located.. its like a "still picture" if you get me...
Please note that i have NOT done any factory reset of the phone after 2.3.4 upgrade... as it cant be true that i need to do such thing everytime an update is launched from LG just to get the phone working....
i dont have anything else installed, like CM or even rooted or anything.. its all stock rom from LG...
Anyone has some ideas or clues of how i can fix these issues?
i have met all of these issues as well. i have to add another issue,"wifi turn off automatically".

Maybe a stupid comment of me , but have you already looked at the wifi-advanced settings? because there you can switch off the "wifi power saving or sleepmode".
You should also check all settings because everything is put back to factory settings..
same freaking issues
What a fail from LG. I bought this phone recently for my wife and I was accusing her being crazy!
I changed all the settigns in wifi for battery effeciency to keept it always on no matter what! wifi keeps disconnecting at times. Even during skype calls and needs to restart wifi(deactivate->activate).
Anyone having a solution for that issues? Otherwise a custom ROM is going to solve this? And if so please propose one for simple use.
It is so FAIL from LG releasing a ROM hat does not work as it should with default values. Android is for users also, not just geeks.

Have you done a 'factory reset' since you updated the device?
You shouldn't lose any stuff on the card, only the applications that were on the phone as such. (But better than sorry to make a backup just in case). Oh of course you will lose contacts unless they are synced with another source as well).
GPS> Make sure you leave the GPS turned on ALL the time. It won't use it unless it has too, and if you start the phone with gps turned off, it won't connect to gps properly. Wifi ? er.. perhaps you need to go into the wifi settings and have a fiddle around with the sleep mode? Or perhaps increase the screen timeout so it doesn't keep disconnecting the wifi so often?
Get a Samsung for sure!!

5 phones with the same problem? Sounds like user error to me.
No one else is reporting this issue nor have I ever experienced it with my phone.

No not all phones had issue only the 5th one has the issue
Thanks
I had same issue after installing 4.2.2
Touch wasn't disabled when calling, and i would put ny phone into airplane mode during call.
Flashing ElementalX solved the issue for me.

It's your ear that switches the phone into Airplane mode. It's especially common for people who hold the phone with their left hand to their left ear. HTC have poorly calibrated the sensor and as such, have dropped the ball on the most important function of a smartphone and that's making phone calls. It happens to me everyday and it's infuriating.
No-one has come up with a fix. HTC should. It's a disgrace

Same exact problem for me I am sure it has only started happening to me since latest update. It's turned the best phone I have every had into one of the worst. I have just installed rezound app that allows you to calibrate the prox sensor. See how it goes tomorrow as this has been happening to me every day sever times a day from disconnecting calls to airplane mode to randomly redialing last calls

Pac rom

Hi, I'm currently on PAC and my touch screen behaves weird after a few minutes of use, need to sleep and unlock the phone to have it back to normal, any ideas?
I also have this bluetooth mono headset that I use for music, when I click the answer button, it brings up the voice recognition thing, any way to make it play/pause my music that is playing on Apollo?
Thanks
If the Developers did not fixed this yet then there is no fix, to get rid of that just try different ROM.

dude, that was a problem with your phone, is not a Rom issue, you had a chance to take it to support but it was XD!!!
just checking, is there anyone else experiencing this issue? I want to make sure that it's an issue with the digitizer before I flash back to stock and send it in.

Update:
Finally sent my phone back to sony for repair, first repair, on inspection at the counter, found 3 dead pixels, so they had to send it back for repair again. It is back with me now, but I'm still experiencing the same issues on the latest stock rom and the panel looks slightly different from the one I had before (light and proximity sensors can be seen, easier to see transistors under screen in sunlight..) do they have different versions of panels?
