Ok, so on the HD2, when you lay it down on a table or something, it automatically goes into speaker.
Does anyone know how to disable this? Cause it'll sometimes turn speaker on when its right next to my ear
mine has never done this...

Mine does....get into a phone call, then flip the phone face-down and place it on a surface, it should auto-route the call to the speakerphone until you pick it up again. One of the cool features carried over from the TP2
I can't remember where the setting for it is though...I'm digging for it now
I thought this phone was loaded with it...but I've not tested it yet.

Just recently my wizard makes a loud sound when I tap on an option in the page menu, or whatever. The sound is so loud and it comes unexpectedly makes me jump out of my boots! Does anyone know what causes this and have experienced the same thing?

My only guess, is your volume turned all the way up? lol

This and the fact that you have hardware clicks turned on in sound settings.

Nope, the volume was 1 notch below the center. This was the 1st thing I looked at after it happened. I guess I'm the only 1 it's happened to.
This actually happened to me a few times when i was on WM5, since i have switched to WM6 i haven't ever had this again. So i assume it is a rom glitch.
Any developers here think about a noise-based profiles software for our PPC-Phone? the program use the microphone to identify the background noise to decide which sound profile to use. For example, loud noise will make the phone change to load volume and quiet environment change the phone to silent or soft volume. That software will prevent the phone to ring too loud or too soft at night or on the road etc.
Terrific idea! Sorry I cannot help with development...
Edit: you've got my support with bumps to this thread till the day I die, though
wow!! awesome idea!
(and what'd it take? rec from mic every so many mins and map the decibles ranges to different profiles?)
There's an article (and some sample code) about doing just that at http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/10/NoiseDetection/default.aspx
Perhaps it might be a good starting point for somebody?
What about if the phone is in your pocket? Wouldn't the noise of the phone rubbing against your pants seem very loud and therefore set the ring really loud?

I think that would be good actually,I can't hear it well ringing in my pants. Vibrations are a completely different matter

dammit, i thought it is about in call(or just machine on/off moment) volume autochange..
you are right, if it's resident constant meter..

It could be sampling every 30 seconds or so...
I can see another problem: when the phone is in quiet place the volume turns down. What if this quiet place is a pocket of your back pack stored in a quiet cupboard in a loud workplace?
I guess we'll never gonna know unless we can test it in the real.
The example above suggests testing the ambient noise before the phone starts ringing, for say 2 seconds, not constantly, therefore no battery eater.

Yeah, but that would create delays...Unless it would vibrate during those 2 secs (but that would make the testing inaccurate)...Bump as promised
I've just seen this... I'll see if I can do anything with the sample code, but my programming is not brilliant at the moment...

2 seconds is not that long - I have my phone set to ring for 30 seconds before it diverts to voice mail.

Its not a local setting, its a network setting. Networks like setting it to 10 seconds by default so you can use their expensive voice mail more, but its easy to change (and essential on a WM phone where there's often a ring delay).
You can set it by going
Start>Settings>Phone>Services>Call Forwarding>Get Settings> Forward after X seconds.

Ask your operator for instructions. Mine gave me the answer straight away.
Now, back on rails, gentlemen!
I will not let this idea sink! Bumpity bump.
When I sleep I like to have the phone ringer on silent, but unfortunately this stops my morning alarm from making any noise.
Is there no way to mute calls whilst leaving the alarm alone to do its thing?
It seems the alarm won't work when the phone is turned off, so that's no use either.

It works fine for me. I use it as an alarm daily, and I too want the phone on silent.
There is a setting that you may want to check.
Go to settings, menu, all settings, clocks & alarms (you should automatically be on the "more" tab), and ensure that "sound alarms blah blah silent etc." is ticked.

Brilliant! That should cover it. Mine was unticked. Thanks a million.
A friend of mine was also asking for a method of turning the phone off, but still allowing the alarm to work. Do you know if this is possible?

AFAIK, this just isn't possible. It's not something that you could develop software for either. Just keep it on charge overnight instead

He could turn 'airplane mode' on which would stop the phone/email/sms part of the phone working, so he wouldn't get disturbed by a ringing phone during the night! (and it would save a fair bit of battery life too).

That is a great idea simple and to the point. Glad I found this thread I looked for the alarm setting for 10 minutes this morning and couldn't find it but I knew it was there. As usual XDA comes thru again now if I can just get the BT Announce Calls to work on 6.5 Sprint Touch Pro...
Hey guys.
Sorry if this has been covered...I've searched a variety of combos and came up empty handed. I'm not sure exactly what it's called, but I'm trying to figure out how to disable the feature where the ringer silences when the phone is moved or flipped on my buddy's Evo. For some reason, the ringer silences way too easily while sliding around on the dash in a car, etc.
If someone could help me out real quick that would be superb =D
There's a setting in the sound settings, quiet on pickup, uncheck the box.

On Cyanogen it is Settings > Call Settings > Turn Over Silence
Sometimes when i press the screen to select something(ie. opening an app), a noticeable popping sound is heard. It happens a few times a day but it sometimes gets annoying.
What is the cause of this, i know it's not the camera focusing element.
You sure that it isn't just the touch sounds?

Yeah its not the touch sounds, its pretty faint and happens maybe 3/10 times.
This happens to me too. Im convinced that theres something wrong with my speaker because the sound happens only when i click on something that is supposed to make a sound (except its doesnt because its on silent). It also happens right before an audio file is played

I have exactly the same problem. It sounds like a extra click and it happens occasionally.
i had the same issue, sent for a replacement, and the replacement does the same thing.
anybody figure out whats causing this?

I'm afraid it's a speaker problem and not some kind of bug.
Even when the phone is on silent I hear the popping, very very annoying.
Its a hardware issue. I had it on my first n4 that I had RMA because of the screen.
My replacement device does not suffer from the issue.

Yep, same here - and I just replied to two other threads that sound like the same issue. One person said it happened after upgrading to 4.2.2. I think (and hope) this is a software issue. I just got my new Nexus 4 today, so I hope it's not a hardware issue.
This is happening to me. I thought I was going crazy lol.
Hey Guys,
Thanks for this forum first of all, its awesome. I joined especially for this issue because it seems lots of people have this problem. I noticed this problem when i got my phone yesterday. I have noticed that even when the phone is on silent, the speaker just turns on even though its not suppose to since touch sounds should be off. You can hear this by listening carefully to the speaker.
I got solved of the problem doing the following:
1. Go to settings.
2. Device -> Sound
3. Untick "Touch Sounds" option.
4. No more popping sound problem , although you dont have touch sounds.
It seems that even if you put your phone on silent thetouch sounds are active but dont produce sounds and keeps the speaker on when you press buttons. Might be software problem.
I hope this is helpful

I don't think that solves it. On mine, this occasional click happens with any sound (for example, go into settings for messaging to select an alert sound. If a sound has not been played for a while, the first sound you try will have the soft "click" right before it. Subsequent sounds will generally not have it. So I do not think it is related to only the touch sounds.
I'd guess that the reason it only happens when a sounds has not played "for a while" is that the sound hardware is being turned on right before the sound occurs.

Ohh ok, I guess I had another problem. My problem was that I would hear a soft pop even on silent when hitting buttons.
But after you mentioned the messing alert and hardware being turned on. I noticed it now. I think you might be right, they might be related to the sound hardware being turned on
