If you tap on SGS2 top (Where you have 3.5 mm audio jack than place) Voice Command/Voice Talk will open (not sure which forgot)...When I 1st got mobile I have tapped there and it opened Voice Command/Voice Talk and after that I did a factory reset and using a case now when I tap it is not opening

Don't have my own sgs2 to hand, but IIRC it's in settings - motion

hi guys
i think you're supposed to activate in the settings under "motion/movement" (my phone is danish).. in there, there's an option called doubleclick/doubletap
thats where you activate this.. its not a default setting.. so a factory would reset this option.

Thanks..in Tutorial it works fine but when I try it in home screen or in menu it wont work

First you have to double press home button to get to the utterly useless voice talk app, then you can slap your sgs on the head and talk into it.

no problem.
I made the sig myself. I might make you one if you pm me with what text you want and what colour. If I get time that is. No promises.

I keep hitting the HOLD BUTTON on free x10.

Hello,
Is there any way to get rid of that ******* hold button on freex10 . i have pressed it like numerous times and it wont take long before i really bang my head on the wall .
Can we replace the phone apk ( i dont know what it is really called , Dialer app?)
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Two things, is the proximity sensor on the phone working? IE, does the phone screen black out when u put it up to your face?? If NOT, that is the main issue.
Two, you can go into settings and change the layout of the dialer for left or right handed and move the hold button away from your face!
Hope this helps,
Chris

Its not there :S i am using beta 4 freex10.. is something missing here :S
Still should be there on 2.2 roms, phone settings, scroll to bottom of the page, left handed option?? Hmmmm, not sure what dialers are in the market, my wife used an ed hardy themed dialer, but that was on 2.1fw... might be an option?

I did check many a times ... i don't have this option . don't know why.. and think there is no way to over-ride the stock dialer app which shows ON-CALL . i am i wrong here ?( i wish i am )
and why is my right handed/left handed setting is missing ? "confused"
Haven't run z's rom since first beta, but on other aosp based 2.2's its there n on my 6.1.1cm rom I just looked it up..... hmmm, I am stumped... hit android market, should have a dialer option or two!!
Sent from my xperia using XDA App
i can CONFIRM that the settings ARE in FreeX10 Beta 4.
Go to your homescreens -->> press menu -->> settings -->> call settings -->> check left-hand mode (2nd last before "other call settings") -->> reboot
I have the same problem with the same rom. Yesterday I lost half of my story because of this . Changing the settings is not an option because I tend to switch sides a lot during a call. Might try another dialer.

pls let me know if u find a way to replace the stock dialer. i have tried other dialers but they dont override the stock dialer during call
You could try freezing the stock dialed in titanium..?

Menu -> Settings -> Call Settings -> Always use proximity!
Check that box and you are done.

There s only one app that wrks on our sg3.. But u can find that in market bcs the developer thinks that app dsnt spprt sg3's configuration.. Name is "screen capture shortcut free" .. Find the apk by urself , coz I dnt hav that..
Why do you need one when "Screen Capture" feature is in-built in our phone ? IMO it takes a good enough shot
P.S. - Back Soft Key + Home button is the combination, if ya didnt know...
didnt know that one, many thanx!

No prob mate, each of us keeps learning from this wonderful community and its exceptional developers
bit fiddly, exits or goes to task manager...
You are doing it in reverse - Hold on to the back key first and then press the Home / Menu button, you will hear the capture sound and you are done! Dont let go of the Back key !!
i'll make that a double thanks then!
it is possible to change the key?

Try this app from the Play Store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiumiu.ca.statusbar.free. Not sure if it will work because I don't have a Note yet.

because you are supposed to be single focused talking to your spouse/significant other while on the phone...not split attention multitasking. They have thought of everything on the NOTE.
Why don't you hit Home button, then you be able to pull the status bar down during a call...

What he said. I just hit the home button and I can use every function on the phone from there.

It prevents you from accidentally doing things while on the phone. It's like screen unlock when you're on the phone.
Perfectly plausible situation:
Your caller asks, "may I please have Nancy's number?" and you say, "why yes, please hold while I send you the contact card via email."
Sent from Galaxy Note
Anyway The press home is known. I was just wondering if this is a bug or intentional.
why are u complaining about just having to hit the home button first? it literally takes half a second?
It gets me every time! then i say to myself DUH press home... :0p

galaxy s3 and removing created vibration

Is there a way to remove a vibration pattern I created.
Thank you
Eric
Googled only saw ways to create
Hold down on the vibration. It'll ask what you want to do.
Thank you Biz. The only option it is giving me is Rename.
I hope this isn't one of those kinks that I have to factory reset
I like stuff clean and this would drive me nuts. LOL
Thanks. I hope u can help more
Eric
Hmm. It gives me the option to delete.

Can you tell me exactly the steps you take from a homescreen
Maybe you are hitting the category "create vibration" (or whatever its called..not near phone) and Not the vibration itself
Thanks a lot

[Q] Re-maping menu touchkey

Hello, I was wondering if is there any way to make the Menu key (The one placed at the right of the home key) to work as the musltitask key on the nexus phone, I had installed a mod that enables the menu panel on the screen as in the nexus, so my phisycal key is useless and I want to map it as the multitask key , I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, if you don't please let me know
Thanks for your time!!!

First of all, what mod did you install? I want one too. Lol.
As for your menu key, if get any root file manager and go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and examine the .kl files there. As for me, mine is located at cyttsp_key.kl. You should see something like
Code:
# KEY_MENU, KEY_BACK, KEY_HOME
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
Simply replace MENU with APP_SWITCH and you should be all set. I'm not sure if spacing is important but keep a backup of the original file first before modifying it just in case.

I don't like the galaxy-ish theme he put, I am just interested in the on-screen menu button, how does it look like? And can I flash with only the menu button on the mod? I mean I don't want the other changes, just the on-screen menu button. I've been trying to do the same thing you did for quite some time now too.

Is in every app I have on my phone (Tested them), Youtube, Calls, messages, quickpic, etc...
Btw, I'm editing my own framework res file only with these mods:
- On-Screen option (menu) button
- Action bar with text
- Fast Bluetooth turning On/Off
- Volume slider is moved to bottom (will make you easier to slide it with your finger)
- Notification toast is moved to top (everything's better if can be seen clearly )
So, if you want it I can share it or if you want the framework res with only the On screeen option button, just tell me
