Cingular 8125...HELP... Accidental Button Pressing - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hey All,
First post on this board and I love all the valuable information I am getting so THANK YOU TO ALL !!!!
My frustration is as follows: I have a Cingular 8125 and I carry it around my belt holster; like the ones that come with the phone. Before putting the phone in its place, I place it in standby and locked the keys. However when I receive a call and I try to take it out of the holster to see whos calling, the answer button has already been pressed by the holster.
Is it just me or someone else experiencing this well ? Please Help.
How do I set it up so that I have to explicitly answer the call.
Than you very much !!!

Sorry but I must say that I dotn have this issue. I grab the phone by its top and bottom edges when taking it out, and I cant say that this has happend to me.
Later; Lew

happens to me with the default holster on the 9100.

yah, happens to me a lot when i'm pullin my k-jam out of my pocket... i guess just be more careful is the only solution

screen flips when incoming call

Hi,
I've got the 9100 for a month now.
and everytime when the phone rings, the screen go automaticly to landscape mode, and the send button is not responding.
i can anser only frem the "answer" button on the screen which is now on the top left corner.
it doesnt happend all the time, but its very annoing.
any help?
thanks
Have you tried a hard reset ?
Hahaha... I know where this is coming from...
You are using the TERRIBLE useless case that comes in the box right? Its magnets cause the screen to flip around... your unit is A-OK.
By the way, you store your unit screen facing out or facing your body? Try changing directions if you insist on using this stupid case (I am using it also but I am looking for a better one).
Has anyone found a better case for the KJAM/QTEK 9100?
I had the problem with the case, too...
But it doesn't explain the send button not working - that's happened to me also, which is damn annoying when you're trying to answer the phone!
oh, and I'll be writing a review of the PDAir case as soon as it arrives... Fingers are crossed!
ooh
It really make sense, the magnet thing.
i don't usually put the device on specified side.
but i will try to notice it from now.
in that case, what about the car holders that uses magnet to hold the device?
Give it a try, use the cases magnets to find the spot on the KJAM that flips the screen. It seems that the sliding keyboard uses a magnet to let the device know it is open and to flip the screen.
The included case is such a useless case. I am sure that NO ONE at HTC actually tested the usability of the case WITH the KJAM inside in an everyday usage pattern...
Also, I am not sure if the magnets don't harm the device..
Many many thanks you very clever and helpful people!!!
I was on the verge of getting on to eBay and letting the top bidder have my XDA Mini, because of this switching lark, but I've tried what has been posted here and sure enough, it is the magnets.
So I'll get a better case and keep the device which I think is excellent.
Thanks again!!
:lol:
yea
it helped
please give us a recommendation for a good case
thanks
Yeah.. would like to hear about a good case...
I was thinking about one of these:

Anybody uses them?

Phone doesn't answer with "Send" or "answer&q

Folks, anyone else experienced this? It's happened to me twice now...
Phone will ring, I'll take it out of the case, screen will flip and flip back, and I cannot answer the phone with the send button, or the answer soft key either!
OK, it's only happened twice, but as a phone it rather limits the appeal!
Any ideas? I'm still waiting for the PDAir leather case to turn up, as I wonder if it's to do with the screen flip due to magnets in the supplied case.
The problem is the magnetic in the case. There has been a thread about this a long time ago. I just removed the magnets from the case (and then my case became useless :? ). So now I just use my K-Jam naked! :lol:

Sorry for the off topic but chiark are u off scoobynet as well
O
Thanks for that - I wondered if it was do to with the processor overworking due to the screen flip, hence missing the keypress, but wondered if anyone else had experienced it!
Yup, I am that same chiark, I'm afraid...

Okay to use a universal closed with screen hidden?

Apologies for the odd title, it's hard to convey the nature of my question without a long explanation.
I have an Alpine right now. My main peeve with it is the fact that screen & button lock gets turned off as soon as I receive a message or call, allowing me to open any number of programs and connections whilst the device is still sat in my pocket - a real PITA when I have to have it on silent when I'm in uni.
I should be getting a universal in a week or so.
I noticed that the universal can be closed in such a way that the screen is not exposed at all. What I was wondering was if it is practical to keep it in one's pocket like this (yeah I have big pockets), preventing any buttons/icons being pressed when I receive a message/call when it is in my pocket. Can one still normally receive messages and calls when it is like that, and still be able to answer them conveniently? Flipping the screen over to answer a call doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
Bottom line, is there anything I should know about using the phone like this?
With the screen closed you can still answer calls.
If you want to check who is ringing you can lift the screen to check the number and then just close the screen again and answer the call with the answer button on the spine of the Universal.
Another advantage of this is that the screen doesn't gunk up as the exterior of the Universal is pressed against your ear, not the screen as happens with the Alpine.
I think, to answer your question, it is possible that you once the device is "unlocked" active, or in sleep mode, pressing the "call" button that is external on the hinge, can activate and make telephone calls in advertantly. though it is unusual.
in relation to pocket, it just fits into a top shirt pocket. in baggy shorts, with its weight, it tends to bang around a bit. in jeans and pants, its a bit big.
overall, as a phone it is functional for receiving calls, if you just receive all. opening the screen to see is a bit of a pain after a while. Setting ring tones for specific callers helps to ease this. bluetooth headsets are also getting to a point of allowing caller id.
There is a heap of "issues" posted around the website and some dissatisfaction with the device. but i am perfectly happy with it, and does everything i wanted, except sufficient memory.

Not a big deal to me, that is surely much less of an issue compared to my current problem with the unlocked screen. As for the pockets thing I don't think it will be a problem either, I'm used to the Alpine so I'm sure this won't be much of a big step.
Thanks for the responses guys, I'll be receiving mine tomorrow
My brother is getting my Alpine.
Edit: One more thing - does anyone know if my Alpine's car charger (3rd party, very cheap) will work with the universal or do I need to get a new one?

Middle button loose? Anyone?

I have X1 for 5 day now and seem to have no problem with it. However, today I noticed that if I turn the phone upside down (for example, you hold your phone while you in bed.) and touch the middle button (the joystick) it seem to loose a little when I touched
It's normal? Please confirm me cause I'm still in 1 week return if I found problem.
Thank you in advence.
My optical mouse/button is loose too. If I shake the phone it rattles. I would send it back, but I think I'll wait until supplies stabilize...lol.
Thank you very much for confirm it, However it happen to everyone's phone? or just a few case?
if Anyone have "optical mouse/button" stay fit and not loose. Please confirm us too
No problem on mine. My X1 is 08W45.
desman, you man your button is fit not loose?
Yes, I put it upside down and don't feel any loose.
Thank you desman, I think tomorrow I will have to go to Service center to change it.

Hi,
I know you are new on here but a few threads up from yours you would have found this one...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Take time out to read it and you should find answers to at least some of your problems.
Good luck

The screen is capacitive, so it shouldnt be possible for anything to be pressed in your pocket.

Whilst the screen is capacitive, the material of a pocket may be thin enough to still allow a key press to register.
Also I believe the hard keys would still be available to press and could hang up the call.
I think there is an issue with the keypad becoming active while on a call.
I've used this phone since launch and it's driving me nuts.
One of the main problems is the proximity sensor which should turn off the touch screen during an active call intermittently doesn't work.
I called my wife today and cut her off at least twice because of this bug.
There is a reg tweek to reduce the sensitivity of the screen- you have to google it.
SMS is alos occasionally sticking.
I'm going to start a new thread to ask if 1.61 cure these issues.
