1) Does anyone know what can I do to be able to use any buttons with a Jasjar closed?
I tend to use it as a MP3 player and I'm using XDA II headset with two buttons which I assign to "pause" and "next track", but unfortunately as soon as I close the JJ (with the screen hidden) they stop to work, even without pressing the power off button.
I don't want to use screen protector coz one of the reasons why I bought it is beatiful display so I would like to keep it closed when I carry it in my pocket.
2) Is the synchronisation working only with the USB 2.0 ports? I'm using the USB Hub which unfortunately is only 1.0 and the PC doesn't recognize JJ, I have to connect it directly to USB 2.0 port to make it visible.
3) Is there any way to remove the line above the two function buttons at the bottom of the screen? I mean the one with icons for screen rotation and wireless manager. I never use these icons anyway and I'd rather have more room for the appointments.
Thanks in advance for all help! :wink:

is there an exe taht turns the screen on and off? and couldn't i just bind that to my camera button?
i did search..
thanks
You may be able to turn the screen off programatically, but how exactly would you expect to turn it on?
Of course, binding that to a button that actually works could do the trick. I think there a few freeware programs out there that allow you to change the bindings of the buttons (sry, can't remember a name, but if you google it you should be able to find one in no time).
On the other hand, phone off disables all buttons except the on/off button, so that might not work either.
i'm downloading vito button mapper now.
getting the screen to come back on was also my main concern. the only way i get it to come on now is by plugging it into the computer or resetting it. I don't always have a usb cable and a computer on hand, nor do i want to wait 5 min for my touch to restart to make a simple phone call.
any help would be GREATLY appreciated.. leaving for a trip in like an hour so i'd like to get this done..
The connection on the XDA II is loose so that when I am using Pocket Player the program will often minimise to the Today screen when the power cable is moved. The cable stays in place ands The power is unaffected just the program. I have tried adjusting the connectors i the cable to make the fitting more secure but this hasn't helped. Is there a setting I can use to stop the program minimising. It will also minimise when I plug the cable into the XDA.
Got it solved:

Friends,
I would like to start a collection of tips on actually USING the Tab as a phone (full time). I will start off with some very obvious tips, and hope for your input.
1. Use a Bluetooth headset (or something like the LG HBM-700 Style-i Bluetooth Headset Pen)
2. Add "Direct Dial" shortcuts to your home screen to connect you to specific contacts with one click (hold down on the home screen, select Shortcut, then select Direct Dial).
Desired: The ability to bring up the phone by simply pressing in a special combination one of the (very few!) hardware buttons on the device (such as the Volume button)
Desired: The ability to get rid of the lock screen all together, so that when I turn on the Tab right away I am at my home screen without needing to "slide to unlock".
Desired: The ability to make the Tab car-friendly... I would like to easily use it while driving (with a bluetooth headset) without purchasing a car mount. Does the Tab have "Car Mode" like other Android devices?
Your input is much appreciated!
There are several apps that eliminate the need for a lock screen. I use this free one and it works very well on the Tab. When you push the power button the home screen is displayed, no unlock to worry about.

The Tab does support Car mode without the dock, install the Car Home app from the posting below and add a shortcut to your home screen, when you are in the car just launch the Car Home app.

There are other third party car apps available in the Marketplace that are more customizable than the Samsung app, one of the more popular ones is Car Dock Home v3.

I'm not sure if this is in the spirit of the original post, but I've been using Skype quite successfully with my Sprint Galaxy Tab and a corded headset. Although it works without the headset, I prefer not to broadcast both sides of my conversation throughout the room.
I read somewhere (maybe here?) that Skype is working on being able to use the forward facing camera for two-way video but after seeing myself, I'd just as soon not.
I'm not sure why I need to be able to use my SGT as a phone, but hey, what are toys for, if not to play?
Unfortunately I have no experience with Skype on the Tab, but I'd like to thank the second poster for his links to the Car App and other useful stuff.
Keep it coming!

I also would like to figure out how to set the Tab into Silent mode so that when it rings it does not even vibrate... but selectively, without having to go into the Settings menu every time.
After using the Tab as my primary phone for one week I must admit defeat. I admin defeat probably not for a reason you could guess...
Carrying the Tab in a jeans pocket regularily causes BACKPAIN! It took me all of one week to realize that when I have the Tab in my jeans pocket my leg muscles seem to be pressured in a strange way which causes me to sit and walk a bit crooked... which quickly casues backpain! The problem seems the be the constant pressure against my leg.
I am sorry to admit defeat, I really wanted to use the Tab for all my tasks.
Get looser jeans :-} ????
Get a small messenger bag to hold the tab, it is not that difficult.
I have the problems of carrying the tab around as well. I ended up purchasing the blue tooth from samsung Modus 3500. I was amazed at how well the music quality is streamed, and the freedom of walking away from it up stair to down stair

That is simple, if you swipe your finger from the notification bar downwards, it opens a slide out drawer where you can press the Silent button on top. That silences your phone until you go back and press the Silent button again.
Cheers,
its wierd, when i put sipdroid on my droid x the gv setup button is at the homescreen... but not on my tab?!
nvm it doesnt show up on my DX anymore either?!
I have the following issues:
1. I can't get GV to verify my number using sipdroid because of no DMTF! which makes it hard to be used as a phone these days with all automated screens you goo through before talking to a person
2. I have 3 old bluetooth headsets but none of them worked with my tab
nice, appreciate this
Is there any shortcut for enabling or disabling bluetooth with just one click or button?
I am thinking of buying hands-free car set and I do not want to go to connection manager each time I get in or out of the car. Having bluetooth always on will drain too much battery...
Is there a way to change what longpress of hadrware button does, for example the buttons for answering and ignoring button?
I only use screen and power button, so making shortcut on other buttons would be great.
Thanks for answeres
Why not make a quick link short cut to the comm manager on your home screen?

Because after pressing DONE it doesnt close itself and you need to go to taskmanager and close it manally which becomes annoying when you have to do it few times
Man I wish I could help you out more but I don't use Bluetooth with a handsgree car kit so no experience to fall back on. I am thinking it is either a built in thing in the Windows Mobile that can allow auto detect of a car kit and auto disconnect, I think I remember reading you had to turn the Bluetooth off manually with it to though. I also think there is a couple of apps out there that might help you out. Maybe someone else can jump in and help you with this, sorry again man.

So why not? Make a desktop shortcut to BT switch, it's easy, just 4 taps in WinMobile.
The screen is broken. I cannot see anything and cannot unlock the phone.
But I am sure the phone is work because I can still using the web Whatsapp.
Is there any adapter without app installing can output the screen to TV?
Or any dock / adapter support hdmi out (without app installation / usb debug mode enable) and mouse control so that I can backup the data?
I installed AnyDesk in my PH-1 but it only available when the app is open
Howerver, I cannot unlock the phone to open it

So you have black screen of death (BSD) ie software or you think it's actually physically broken eg screen cable disconnected etc?
Anyhow, have you tried forced reboot (Press and hold the Volume Down and the Power keys together for up to 10 seconds ) which will perform the simulated battery disconnect, also try without SIM card as this used to sometimes fix black screen issue on other phones.
You could try using a mouse with a USB OTG adapter with talkback turned on (long press both volume keys at the same time for 3 seconds, you might have to try a few times) ... then you should be able unlock phone & turn on anydesk. ,(Basically you move around by swipe right or left, or click mouse pointer once to move that area & once you hear the option you want then double click anywhere to select) (I'm assuming the otg mouse will still work with talkback on)
[if it's software issue then maybe screen will work in recovery ... but if screen doesn't work you'll have to be very very careful not to select a wrong option!]

You can use most any USB-C to HDMI adapter. If it works for a MacBook Pro with USB-C it will probably work for you.
No special software needed. It automatically mirrors the screen.

Thanks for your reply. I am sure my phone is working because I can capture the screenshot and wait for auto upload to google photo.
OTG Mouse and keyboard is working, but no screen so I cannot unlock the phone.

so did talkback work with mouse pointer? You don't need to see screen it will "talk" to you so you know where you are on screen. Though using the HDMI adapter would be easier

No. Cannot active the talkback function by press Vol Up & Down
I tried to connect Travel Inspira usb-c => hdmi adapter with my broken PH-1 or new PH-1 (updated to Android P version). Both of them no signal show on TV / Monitor.
The PD power supply is necessary? Any setting should I set in PH-1?

It worked with mine but maybe I changed the settings, as shown in screenshot, when I was messing with using the accessibility settings with an automation app, I can't remember what the default was now. Sorry.
Hope you get it working with usb adaptor.
[Update]
My broken's PH-1 does not work but OK for the newest PH-1
I get another adapter which is for Nintendo Switch use and it is work
However the screen is too narrow.
I guess it is because my screen is broken, the resolution goes wrong. (width of resolution was set to 130px)
By adjust the font text to smallest and go in "Developer Option", it is more better by changing the width of resolution to 400px
But it still have a navigation bar at the right hand side of the screen
