Automatic pickup does not work

I have an 02 XDA Exec & I want to enable it to answer my incoming calls automatically without me pressing any buttons on the handset or my bluetooth Sony Ericsson HBH-610 headset
Infact I have 2 of these now, one of them was replaced because I found myself having to align the screen 5+ times a day and they both do not auto answer
Would someone be kind enough to suggest anything that I may have missed
I've done the following so far:
1. Start
2. Phone
3. Menu
4. Options
5. More
6. Ticked the box to "Answer incoming calls without pressing Talk after 1 rings.
I then pressed ok it carried on ringing until the answerphone kicked in
I did the same procedure again and tried a soft reset with the same results
I've also tried it with & without the bluetooth headset paired to the device
I can't see anything else that I can try (
Regards
James

James you are not alone, I am searching for an answer to the same question.
Its on this board somewhere and I will find it :?

I have been looking for a way to get my SPV M5000 to ring for longer, when it rings I have to run to it and open it as fast as I can before it cuts off to answer machine.

If it's like any other phone I've had with auto-answer, you'll find that the Universal needs to be in a proper car kit for that function to actually do anything, whether you've switched it on or not.

Thats a shame as it is bluetoothed to the Autocom system on my motorbike,
With the phone inside my leathers I know that a call is comeing in as it cuts the music and rings but no answer :-(
I am sure that we will find an answer soon

I am also looing for this feature.
I want to call home and listen if my dogs are barking.
please help!

Call your service provider. They can increase the number of rings from their side, not from yours. That's what I did.

you can extend the phone rings by going into the phone settings, services, select call forwarding, get settings, it will take a second or two, opens a dialogue box where you can change from 15 seconds to 30 seconds.
never missed a call since.

That is not what I am looking for.
I want the phone to answer the call after a certain amount of rings.
That way I can leave one of my Mobile phones at home, call home and listen if my dogs are barking...
This feature can be found in the QTEK 9100 at:
Settings --> Phone --> More --> Rings before answer...
But it does not work!
please help!

Why not train your dogs to answer the phone? lol
Sorry, but this was too good to make a pass. OK, let's find the solution everyone.

wow, i envy the dogs... they get a uni? 1 for each??? sorry, too good to not ride on this too.
hmm.. I have this problem too. By the time, i open my fone, i missed the call already

i am also looking for the software for HP ipaq 6818 cuz in this set
there is no option for automatic pickup in
1. Start
2. Phone
3. Menu
4. Options
5. More
i am also very confused that this future is not available in hp ipaq 6818

or is there any third party software available for automatic pickup
just like in symbian, advance call manger or car manager (for bluetooth) etc???????

I checked my iPAQ hw6515 from work.
It "does" also have this option under "settings --> phone --> more".
But here it says that it is only available when a wired headset is connected.
I think I am going to try this at home tonight.
I will let you guys now if this works...

the solution was found by me in the manual of my iPAQ 6515.
It says there that a wired headphone needs to be connected for this feature to be activated.
I connected tghe headphones to my phone and now I can listen to my dogs, when I am away from home....

Automatic pick up
HI Guys, I ride a bike and the automatic pickup on my V1615 (tytnii) was spot on. WM 6.1 appears to have stripped the facility out. Have tried everything. Is there a way of resurrecting this useful and safe feature? Regards

[Q] No sound in speaker HD2

Hi!
My HD2 have stopped to sound in speaker, the in-call sound are Ok. Only the music and ring signal is gone.
If the speaker are broken, can i repair it by my self?
Is´t difficult to open the HD2? Manual on the net?
Thanks for any help!

Q1. Yes you can repair it by yourself. Cost is very cheap too.. check on ebay for part.
Q2. Not difficult at all. Just follow the HTC guide on youtube on opening a HD2. You will need a blue plastic lever and Torque screwdriver.

Tnx for reply!
I read in another forum "bump the phone to a hard thing" and i started a mp3-song and try bumping.....
And YES the speaker started sounding !!! WOWWWW!
I just wonder: Are the speaker broken or only dirt in it? Will it stop again ?

Hard to say...
Just give it a few days and if it get worst or dies just repair it..
Good luck..

Hi,
I repaired my phone by same way "bump the phone to a hard thing" and i started a mp3-song and try bumping....
What is your experience after a month? Is it still working?

But this "bumping fix" helped!! Thanks

Great! Your thread bumped my loudspeaker to live too!
I came along this thread while searching for instructions to revert my phone to stock so that i could send it for repair.
Thx!

Bought me a HD2 from Ebay, and i'm having some trouble with that also.
Tried this bump fix, but it didn't work for me.
How hard should i hit it, and where?
if it doesn't work, where can i get the speaker, that send it to Brazil? eBay?

Thanks!!!
I 2nd the bumping fix! I just wish I didn't hard reset my phone 5 minutes ago! But at least I know it's a speaker issue.

'Bump Fix' was a miracle for me. I just realised today that my speakers are not working after missed many calls as it was not ringing. I just played back some songs and made sure it was a speaker issue and found this thread.
But I was not sure if this was just a joke or how hard I must bump. I just banged it on my sofa and did not work. Then just shake bit hard and I noticed that I heard something ( a part of song). Finally I gave a good 'Tap' on the speaker and it worked. Here are my steps and hope some one will be helped.
1) Play any music file
2) Turn the backside of the phone
3) Spot the speaker (left to the camera)
4) Use your thumb and middle finger (or any fingers to make it as a Carom shot) and hit hard.
5) Its ok to hit hard as long as you use your fingers. But make sure you do not damage the camera.
6) After few (for me 2 shots) shots, you will get your speaker back.
This is a good try before you take any hasty nasty actions like un/reinstall programs/drivers/ROM or do physical repairs.
Cheers !!!

I had the same problem over and over again, so I decided to open the HD2 ( following this info: http://tcrn.ch/pErvIr )
The speaker is connected to the main board with two small springs.
I cleaned the springs a bit, and made them a bit longer (by pulling them).
The sound is now working 100%, but now I've got another problem.. WiFi
As long as I'm next to my AP, WiFi is working (low signal), but as soon as I move away from the AP, no more WiFi (no signal)
I'm sure that it's an antenna problem within the HD2, and will open it up again to see if I can fix it.

Okay.. Fixed it.
The WiFi connector got disconnected when opening the HD2 (see pic)

You guys rule. I poured over my wifes phone for 10 hours last night. Geeze, next time I'll remember that google is my friend
CONFIRMED: the fingers on the speaker method worked for me. Thanks for the info guys!

Hi,
worked for me too

It worked.!!!
Thank you ..... I follow your advice and it worked..... I also spayed the contact with electric contact degreaser. Now my phone sound perfect.
Thank you ..

it helped me bumping phone on hard surface

I experienced my HD2 speaker not working for about 30 minutes, a couple weeks ago, (prior to flashing Android Gingerbread 2.3.7. I just could not get the speaker to work, ( music or speaker phone. After flashing it with Android I have not had anymore speaker problems at all. I never tapped it or shook the phone at all. I wonder could it be a software problem? I have heard complaints about the HD2 speaker stopping to function intermittently. Again mine has not had that issue since I flashed with Android.

nice one I tried it for my friend hd2 and it worked

several days ago i also dismantling my HD2, speaker just won't work, open it and found that springs pin that sticks to the pcb plate was dirty, clean with alcohol and yeah it's working again. Just sharing, it isn't to hard to do and you will had new experience

Make Moto Assist use Bluetooth?

Hey all,
I'm loving Moto Assist, but I have a small issue with it.
When paired to the bluetooth in my car, the voice control and text to speech features still insist on using the phone speaker, rather than go over bluetooth.
This wouldn't be a problem if not for the volume issue I am having. When the phone is unlocked, I can turn up the volume and the Assist text to speech works great, but when locked, the volume goes down to the point where I can't hear it over engine/tire/road noise and fans in the car.
Is anyone else having this problem?

There is a check box in the Moto settings for Moto Assist that lets it use BT.

The only one I can find to this effect is called "play music over BT or line out jack".
Is there another one somewhere I am missing?

I've been in that menu. It has to do with BT as a means of detecting if you are driving.
It says it learns over time (but has not learned my car BT yet)
So, once it does learn it, I will be able to select output to it?
Thank you!

So,
Moto Assist finally learned the bluetooth pairing in my car:

Try to install Llama, its an app that can automate things, like turning your volume up to max when a bluetooth device is connected or every time when your screen turns on.
Youtube how to use it if you are not sure, its a really usefull app.
otherwise, you may have to wait for someone to root this awesome phone.

not gonna happen

Motorola in their infinite wisdom did not include the MAP Bluetooth profile in the phone. This means Assist is unlikely to work with any audio system in a car. This doesnt impact hands free dialing, and if your connected to an AUX connection (like streaming music) it could work but there is no way for the phone to send info to interrupt entertainment like radio, sattelite, cd, hdd, etc. No other third party app will work either. The kicker is their support basically said tough luck.

Hmm...
More motivation to hope for a good recovery unlock and decent ROM support...

In call volume stuck?

I'm having a similar issue. I can't adjust the in-call volume when I have the phone on my ear. But it's possible when I take it away from my ear and the screen lights up. I had this problem right from the start when I just got the phone. Then one day it was gone, now it's back. I just recently re-flashed my Nandroid backup (OOS 2.1.2, rooted and with Google account set up, otherwise "stock").
I am using Xposed with Gravity Box and have set the volume buttons to skip tracks when long pressed, could it have something to do with that? Though I also used that setting before, when changing the in-call volume worked.
This is really annoying.

Same problem here. Can only switch In-Call volume when screen is lid up and therefor the phone away from ear. Anyone got a solution for this?

Let's go looking for possible causes. Are you rooted? Do you use the Xposed framework? Have you made any special adjustments related to media, such as the long-press-to-skip-tracks-setting I activated in Gravity Box?

I'm rooted and have Boeffla Kernel installed. Thats it.

I'm running Boeffla Kernel as well, though I'm not sure whether I was already on Boeffla the first time this issue occured. Might be worth a pitch @Lord Boeffla though.

I rarely use my OP2, and never for phoning.
I have not changed anything in the kernel regarding that.
So can someone flash stock kernel back and try again?
I am 99% sure it is a rom issue in OOS (one of the many many bugs).

I can try that, sure. Can I simply flash the stock kernel back over the Boeffla Kernel in TWRP and then reboot? Or do I have to take care of anything else?
Funny thing is, I had the issue when the phone was new, then it was gone for a while, and now it's back since I re-flashed my original Nandroid backup. This is very confusing ...

Another observation: this only happens when a call is actually connected. As long as the other party hasn't picked up the phone (i.e. as long as the ringing tone is audible) I can still change the call volume even when the phone is on my ear, and hear the difference in the volume of the ringing tone. Once the other party picks up, I can only change the volume when the display is activated.
Still, though, pressing the volume button during a call will move the volume slider, which the leads to another bug that when the volume slider hits max. but the volume hasn't been changed (because the display was inactive), I can also no longer increase the volume when the display is activated. Or the other way around, I try to decrease volume but the volume stays the same, the slider moves down though and when I take the phone from my ear, it shows min. volume and I can't decrease further (even though call volume isn't technically at its minimum.)

Oh, the divine epiphanies that keep happening to my holy OnePlus Two ... out of nowhere, changing the call volume suddenly worked again this morning, with the phone at my ear and the display thus being deactivated. Note that I didn't change ANYTHING at all since my last post, not even a reboot.
Also, I couldn't consistently recreate the bug where I try to change the volume and the slider moves up or down but the volume is stuck ... this also seems to be happening randomly. Something is VERY messed up here ...
EDIT: I have a theory as to what's happening here. It seems as though while on a phone call with the phone at the ear and the display turned off, the volume rocker is linked to the ringtone volume, and not to the call volume (had my ringtone volume at max after a call today, though I was on vibrate before). When the display is activated again, it's linked to the call volume again. If that is true, then this is definitely an issue with OOS. Now the question is why does it happen somewhat randomly, as sometimes changing the call volume works while most of the time it doesn't.
UPDATE to EDIT: And once again, I can't recreate the change of ringtone volume, during recent call the volume was stuck, presseing volume rocker didn't change ANY slider at all. So once again, what happens here is highly inconsistent and random.
UPDATE 2: Next try, this time my media volume and alarm volume were changed while I was on a call and pressed the volume rocker while the phone was at my ear. I noticed it when I took the phone from my ear and the display lit up. Again, I was unable to recreate this a second time.

I gave it another shot and disabled GravityBox and VibrateMode in Xposed, both which have access to the volume settings and volume rocker functions. No change, the issue persists.
I still wonder why a while back, changing the volume during calls was working for me. I don't recall anything being different with my setup.

No sound after adjusting volume?

Sometimes when I silence the phone (vibrate) by holding the volume down button then later turn the sound back on, the phone will not make any sounds at all. No ringer for calls, no sample sounds while browsing the sound picker, etc. until the phone is restarted. Latest build (M) and rooted.
Any ideas?

I'm on the latest build unrooted and don't have any issues. I just tested it now, and I put it on vibrate every day for work and haven't had any issues later. Maybe it's a root app you installed?

Could be. I'm using Super SU installed via Skip's toolkit. I have two, one is still on build L, and I think only the one on build M has the issue. I need to test it more to narrow it down.

I get this too. One way to recover is to tap the icon to ringer, back to vibrate and back to ringer again
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I'll give that a try.

I'm finding that I have this problem too. Tapping the icon to ringer, then vibrate, then ringer again doesn't seem to work. When press the volume rocker, there is no sound to show the increase/decrease in volume. Is anyone else experiencing this or have any suggestions?
Edit: The phone is unrooted. I've just noticed that when I go to settings and increase the volume on the slider bar, this also has no sound to indicate increase/decreasing in volume.

My one phone is also still doing this. I gave it to my girlfriend, so I don't have a lot of time to troubleshoot it.
I've found that going into sound and notification settings and selecting the ringer through the system sound picker will bring the volume back sometimes.

For God sakes!
On the latest N build/rooted. Just happened to me today. My phone rings when ppl call or text but NO sound within any apps. This is a weird one. Oh, in settings/notifications/ if I slide my finger to adjust any of the three levels it does make noise. I also tried the on/off/on thing, no go.
I might try a data wipe or reflash the kernel maybe even the whole OTA. I've already tried wiping caches and many reboots. If I find something I'll report back. If anyone else finds a fix please post.

Figured it out!
After activating the developer preview option ([holding the gear for a few seconds when the status bar is pulled down]) I turned on all the notification options in the status bar section. I noticed the headphones icon was always on.

So I got a pair of headphones and put the connector in and out , many times till eventually the icon would disappear but come back a sec later. Here's the trick! When you unplug the connector and see the icon disappears -hurry up and click volume up or the power button ---just tap it quick--
Hope this helps anyone who has the same problem. Another note; only stick the headphone jack like half the way in and move it around, you will see when the icon will go off and on.

hope this helps, there is a bug I'm experiencing sometimes where holding volume down will switch the phone to "do not disturb" mode and you have to go into the options to and turn off "do not disturb" mode.
alternatively press the volume up, hit "end now" and adjust volume normally, profit! :good:

I have the same issue. Did this happen with only custom mp3 ringtones you made? With my phone it only seems to only happen with my custom mp3 ringtones I made myself.
