I want to stopp my HD to start outgoings calls because in the last weeks many times some clicks on buttons started calls without my consent. Is there a way to bar all outgoing calls but to keep gprs data connection active?
keylock your phone when its in your pocket? (hold the end key for like 5 sec)
I do not want to lock the phone just outgoing calls. E. g. I want to be sure that there a no calls starting while I am watching a video on my HD.

Try SPB Phone Suite, it can do the trick!
If you don't need any other connections like internet, Wifi, Bluetooth or GPS etc. you could also just put the phone in airplane mode (or turn the phone connection off) while you watch your video. Of course, you won't be able to receive any calls either. But - it's just a thought.
By the way, how do you accidentally call while watching a video? I have never accidentally called (except when in the dial pad with list of recent calls above it). But while watching a video??
You can try MagiCall.
I use it for exactly the same reason.
I have also posted this on VF forums but hoped someone here on might have some experience of this:
Anyone out there using Skype on their DHD yet? I use skype for my business and have a skype incoming number too so it is great that I will no longer have to divert skype calls to my mobile at cost. I can now just pick them up directly from my mobile for free. I can even make free outgoing UK landline calls from the mobile via skype as part of my skype subscription, although this isn't as big a deal due to the VF contract I have.
I may be wrong, and I will be testing this out very soon, but when abroad and assuming you buy a local SIM with some data allowance, I think I should be able to receive calls to my skype number and make calls (via my skype subscription) to UK landlines all from my mobile for free! Can anyone with similar experience confirm this to be the case?
Also, the skype app for android isn't the most intuitive regarding changing the settings etc and you can't use the back button once logged in, only the home button to hide the app. Hopefully that will be addressed in the next release. My main issue however is that I cannot change the ringing volume for skype which is currently set very low. I have found an option to change the ring tone but it only offers either the default or something from the music stored on the handset, no mention of volume though. I have also set all the volumes of the handset (Calls, notifications, etc) to full but skype still rings very quietly. Anyone have any ideas on this?
For anyone interested, Skype just released an update for this app. It now allows you to use the back button to hide the app. However there is now a more annoying problem of the missed call page showing up everytime you go to the app (assuming you have a missed call) and won't go away until you clear the whole history.
I have read on other forums the only solution to the low ringing volume is to change the default to a music file of your choice which is of a decent volume.

Yes, tried Skype on my DHD today for the first time. Signal was quite good to start with but then the sound started breaking up a little. Then I took an incoming Skype call which didn't have such good sound quality.
It clearly works, but I think the sound quality, like on another other computer, depends on the quality of your data internet connection. Also, it is annoying about the back button, I agree. Looks like its just the first version for Android, so hopefully Skype will improve it soon.
So the BIG ?
Is there a front facing camera on the DHD?
No, the DHD hasnt got a front facing camera.
Any idea if the back camera can be used for a video call?
Not very convenient I know but its someth at least ;]

If it works, you can always use it in front of a mirror right?

And what does that have to do with Skype ? You know, Android version doesn't have video call support.

NO I did not, because all the crappy reviews do NOT mention that, most of them tend to be C&P from some bad stock handout, same as a few 'older' reviews of the DHD mention that the FFC may only work when 2.2 comes out.
As we can see plenty of bull**** on the internet
Everything worked fine yesterday but my last day was yesterday and had to reactivate today (which i did when i woke up) and now i cant receive texts or calls and when i send a text i get unable to send message - message blocking is active and when i make calls i get "the phone you are using does not allow outgoing calls" but my data still works. This is all simple mobile isnt it? it cant be my phone. Ive been on the phone all day with them and all they have said was to restart my phone and take the sim out.
Please help!!!

I think it's a safe bet the issue is on their end. Record the message (use Sound Recorder on a PC if needed) and play it back for them. There is no setting on your phone that would produce this audio message that I am aware of.
Hi, I have an A5 2016 on the AT&T carrier currently, and video calling wont go through. There is no setting for HD Voice and even if the video call setting is on, it won't work....
Please Help! Thanks!
Hey guys note 4 on Freedom (Canadian provider) Just got my phone repaired at a repair shop they fixed my screen and now im unable to make or receive phone calls. I can make calls with VOIP apps like hangouts and facebook messenger. I can even make phone calls with headphones connected. I thought maybe the earpiece was broken but when i use the dialer and type #0# i can test the earpiece and i can hear sounds through the tests so that seems alright including being able to record through the mic.
What ive tried so far: Tried my Sim in an s4 - works fine with s4 (Sim seems to work in note 4 the calls go through just both parties cant hear each other) Tried factory resetting and clearing cashe - no difference Tried safemode - No difference Tried Factory reset using Smart Switch on Pc - No difference
Anyone have any suggestions? Is it a hardware issue? Anything i can fix myself?
