Black screen during call

Hi,
I'm wondering to know if you know application to avoid black screen during calls for the HTC Hero.
RucaNebas

Yes. On the app store there is a free app called Shake Awake. It detects the movement of pulling the phone away from your ear and activates the screen. The sensitivy can be adjusted.

Thank you very much for your quick replay Paul.
I installed and it seems to work.
Thank you again.
Do you know where I can find cool applications for our Hero?
RucaNebas

Wow, this works very nice.
Thank you

You're very welcome.
I have so far only installed apps from the Android Market.

Excellent find.

Not working on HTC Hero :-((
Do you know why?

Yeah, didn't work on the Hero. I hope they fix that with the update and also that annoying vibrate when the phone connects. While interesting concept it is really not needed. I figure I know when it connects when the other person says hello.

You can use Keepscreen, there is a lite version ;-)

Hi,
you may use the free app calle KeepScreen Lite, too.
This app lets you choose for which apps you want the screen always stay on.
The Hero uses a specific phone app, whose name is different from google standard phone app ... But KeepScreen lets you manually choose the apps you want.
There are two versions of keepscreen : the free one (called lite), which is 'limited' to standard google apps, and two of user's chose. The pay version is unlimited.
edit : bricabrac : you won this one

Thank you guys.
I'm sorry to back again, but I need to understand your explanations.
Do you mean that the KeepScreen Lite application could be installed on the Hero and activates the screen during calls?
Which is the Hero app name that keeps the screen always stay on during calls?

I had already created a thread with regard to the screen switching off during a call here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547736
Shakeawake doesn't seem to work for all and for those it does it can be unreliable.
PowerManager can be set (in a profile) to keep the screen alive when making a call for up to a minute (specify by number of secs... I think) which gives you plenty of time to get past those 'pick 1 to do ... pick 2.... etc' type calls.
Hope this helps

KeepScreen

if i'm not mistaken the actual phone app should be named "Dialer"

KeepScreen is now completely free, and has in the free version all functionality

ahm, can anyone tell me how do i turn the screen off again after i awoke it? my ear keeps checking notifications :/

fyi...on my hacked sapphire, keepscreen was a little buggy. it would sometimes still allow dialer app to go dark while on call even with the keepscreen app running as confirmed in both notification bar and running apps. also, when rebooting phone, keepscreen requires restart but that is probably normal. for me, i decided i rather not deal with the problem of occasional face/key-press on long calls and just let the device go dark. i've become familiar with the quick-key presses to handle call-swap, speaker-on, and such...

I have shake awake since a while and it works fine.
Keepscreen is nice to keep applications "awake"

How to Switch to Dialer App Faster?

Hi guys,
I am currently using the latest CyanogenMod (have been for more 7 months). I have found that it takes about 1 full seconds (at times maybe more) to load the Dialer app when I press the "Call" button. I would like to find out how can I speed up this function, as for me, the phone dialer app is the MOST crucial function for a PDA phone.
I find that it is much faster for me to get to the "Home" app after I have enabled "Home App in Memory" using "Spare Parts". Is the reason why the dialer is slow due to it having to load up every single time? Can we run "Dialer" the same way as "Home App in Memory"? Going back to the Home screen takes less than a second from any app that I may be using, at any time. Can you guys help me to make the same happen for Dialer? Ideas?
Thanks! Hope I am not the only one with this minor quirk.

The problem is that Wysie's Contacts (which is used in most of the roms out there) takes so long to load it's ridiculous. The only permanent fix would be to extract the original contacts app from one of the stock roms and push it to your phone. Of course you may lose certain features in the process.
That is to the best of my knowledge, anyway.

Try clearing your call log.

Ah, so it's Wysie's contacts app that is slow right? Hmmm... is there an .apk file for the original stock app? I think speed really is very important in this sense. I do not have to have all the fancy stuff if it slows down my ability to phone another person. Thanks for your suggestion.

It works, but for a while only (when the log grows longer then the lag comes back again). Thanks, this would be a temporary 'fix'.

It has to do with the gruoping. I don't have root any more so I can't check. See if you can turn the grouping off or if there is a way to auto clear the log. There are a lot of great features in that contact apk that make it a must.
Damn, I wish I could get root so I could have it back.

[Q] SMS problem

hi guy's long time lurker first time poster...
i'm having a problem with all sms sending 'failing' when ever i've got packet data turned on. its not something i've ever come across on any of my previous devices... any nudge in the right direction will be very welcomed.
p.s i'm on t-mobile uk if that make any difference.
Thanks in advance
john

check your APN settings and MMS settings.

They are sharing the same apn, but i've been playing with the setting (all know variations) but still every time i use packet data it will always fail to send any sms's.
It's becoming very annoying to have to manually connect every time i want to use some data.

Hey!
Just ask from you mobile provider, what must be your APN settings. In 2.3.4 you must ALWAYS put the APN settings manually. If you added them, save and pick it. ALL DONE!
CHEERS!

thanks i'll give it ago, was just using the setting they sent me over the air and already in sim card, will input manually when i get home, and let you know.
Thanks again for the help.
Edit: no this didn't work either, now im really peeved(lol). can't for the life of me think what else it could be. would flashing the wrong modem file cause this? as its all i can think that is left to try....

Try to flash stock ROM. We will see what happens then, dose the settings working in 2.2.1. For me was the stock ROM XXKC1. Let it try.

Hey!
THX man, but you not need to thank always(thx anyway ). If you dont get you problem fixed, you can try others STOCK firmwares. Sometimes it takes a lot of flashing, but it can help sometimes too.
CHEERS!

yeah flashing to 2.2.1 fixed it but i want to use FirstUA-ROM-v1.2 do you think theres a way round it?
p.s i always thank those that try to help me.

Same issue
I have the same problem, bud.
Updated my Ace to Gingerbread and found I couldn't send SMS with Packet Data turned on. Turn it off and SMS sends OK. I'm with Virgin (UK) which I believe is the same network as T-Mobile.
Re-flashed Froyo and all works as it used to. After that, I fired up Kies as I hoped to get an official version that way and sure enough it said there was a firmware update available so I installed that. Turned out to be the official Samsung Gingerbread and yet again i broke SMS when Packet Data was turned on.
I'm back to Froyo once more and have emailed Virgin to ask if they can offer any advice. I notice another report of this issue on another forum where the guy called Virgin and was apparently told the fault seemed to be with VM.
Sorry this doesn't provide an answer but thought it worth corroborating your symptoms.
Cheers!

Use fla.sh rom instead. Its very stable and fast . Multi csc too.

Big thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one with the problem(thought i was loosing my mind,lol)
actually the phone was a virgin locked phone but was unlock to all networks by them for me... maybe something i can look into.
p.s flashing fla.sh didn't fix it either..

I am having this same issue using stock 2.3.3.
I bought my ace factory unlocked using it on orange. Sometimes sms will send, but majority of time it will fail until I disable packet data.
I tend to email or use gtalk/kik for messages but the odd time I want sms this gets annoying.
Oddly I never had this problem on the 2.3.4 I tried from samsfirmware.

Got the same problem. Using 3, and they just gave me a new SIM-card. Gotta finde some clever way of disabling data every time I open Messaging

yeah im looking for a way of re enabling the option in the extended power menu but with out much luck, all the modded ones seem to leave it out.

Okay, gonna try to explain it.
1. Go to /system/app and rename Mms.apk to Mms.apk.bak
2. Install the attached Mms.apk (It's from CM6)
3. Download AutomateIt from the Android Market (Just the free one)
4. Open it and add a rule. Trigger should be "Application Status Trigger" and the app is Messaging. Make sure "Application Adtivated" is marked. And the action should be "Set Mobile Data" and "Mobile Data Enabled" should not be marked.
5. Save it and add a new rule. Trigger should be "Application Status Trigger" and the app is Messaging. Make sure "Application Adtivated" is NOT marked. And the action should be "Set Mobile Data" and "Mobile Data Enabled" should BE marked. Save this one, and you are done!
This will disable Mobile Data every time you open your Texts, and enable it then you exit your texts. The reason you need the CM6 Messaging-app, is that this tricks doesn't work with the original Samsung-app

Bluetooth allows it to connect to Bluetooth headsets and stuff from the app itself.
Disable keylock to allow you to accept calls from the app even when your screen is locked.
Audio record I'm guessing is to allow you to record from the app? But I'm not sure.
Viber has an SMS system in it...
Think of the others and how they can be implemented to HELP in using the app, rather than spy on you. Also, read all the conditions for all the other apps like it, and you will see that they are all very simular.
Use your common sense man, if it was malicious it would have been noticed officially and removed from the playstore.

Sending photos direct from camera? Pretty obvious really, this Thread is a waste of time and effort, there is nothing malicious there at all. Every thing can easily justified by valid functionality in the apps usage.

This is the ONLY way camera permissions are granted for an app. So the app developer has no choice but to include this permission whether he likes it or not. The "any time" part is beyond the developers control. Heck even Google Search requires this same permission. View the android manifest for more details. Don't be alarmed.
PS. Buddy I have rolled around in Android. So if you saying I have "no clue about" it is an understatement.

OP thanks for the Warning and Users will decide what they want to set their permissions for their apps. Thanks.

Phone and Restart problem
Hi!
I want to report a problem I've found using some phone apps that required to be set as the default "Calling app" (Settings -> Apps -> Default apps (in the menu)), in case someone else has the same problem.
I have a SM-T715Y and the apps I tested are:
* Calls Blacklist - Call blocker.
* Truecaller: Caller ID, SMS spam blocking & Dialer.
Whenever any of the aforementioned apps are set as the default Calling app I can't answer phone calls because no answer/reject button is displayed (or it's invisible). WhatsApp calls work fine (those don't require to change the default Calling app). I suppose the problem will persist with any other app that requires to be set as default Calling app.
This may be a problem between the Google Phone app and the others, since I've used the blockers before without problems (in stock rom, another custom ROM and Dream UX).
Another problem I've found is that, sometimes, the restart doesn't work (Hold power button -> Restart); it's like the device shows a dialog with the screen turned off instead of rebooting, although this isn't much of problem.
Hope this helps someone .
And @Skulldron, thanks for Your work !

Hi friend. Its been a while since I've worked on the Pixel ROM as my focus shifted towards the Experience ROM. Ok so I know what the bug is. It is just that the apk called "incallui" was removed. I thought that it would be substituted with Google Phone but it appears Google Phone doesn't work that way. So all you have to do is get The Samsung Dialer apk from SAMmobile (Not apkmirror coz I dont remember the exact name) and place it in system/apps and give it correct permissions. Have a Good One!
