Calls switching to speakerphone
 

I am having a problem when making calls where the audio switches from the headset to the speakerphone (I am not changing it). I would prefer that everyone around me not hear my conversations :). Has anyone else run into this? I also hear some static over the speakerphone as well. I know static has been an issue in the past, what's going on here? This has happened in the last few builds, I am running 11/1 Reference currently.

Yea, the cell radio doesn't seem too stable. I always blamed it on CDMA not being optimized, but I've seen some GSM guys report radio issues as well. So there may be hope it'll get fixed eventually, but I don't know of anyone looking into it currently.

We'd probably need a logcat or something from when this happens. I've only had the speakerphone issue happen once to me, but I've had reboots and radio cycles galore with calls. I just avoid calls like the plague in Android.

I've had that issue as well before... i'll be on a call and can hear it coming from the speakerphone but it's not full volume. it's always quieter and staticy. It always goes away if i turn speakerphone on and off.

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

LOL mine wasn't so easy. As soon as the speaker phone flipped on, the Android boot animation started playing again - a reboot within Android basically. But the call was still going, on speakerphone. I just soft reset it back to winmo...

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

that also is my probleams!
1. phone automatic turn on speaker and reset
2. after some call, my phone can't make or receive any call but 3g still working

i just install 28/9 blazn and update 03/11 kernel manually and the probleam maybe fixed! (must disable "post automatic brightness" in the xdandroid start)

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

What does this mean??

Also any updates on this issue?

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

He's talking about the auto-backlight setting in WinMo. Shouldn't need it anymore, as there's some new code that initiates the backlight brightness in Android now. Just need to be up to date on the kernel (zImage).

No updates on the issue. Don't really have a good grasp on what's causing it, we'd probably need a logcat -b radio when the issue is happening... fun fun.

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

I was running Android yesterday I took a call and changed the in call volume. My phone then transfered the call to the speakerphone and Android proceeded to reboot. Needless to say, I disrupted a meeting that was going on, on my floor. I had to pull the battery out to get things to stop. I can't use Android full time until the radio is a more stable.

Excuse me for my ignorance, I would be happy to grab the log file, but I am not sure how to execute the logcat command when I reproduce the issue. Can you explain how to do that?

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

Well since the phone reboots, it's a little complex. First, you must setup adb. Once that is setup, run adb logcat > output.txt - it'll run constantly, outputting to that file. Then the fun begins. You'll have to reproduce the error with this running. Devs may also need a logcat -b radio as well... I guess I should just make a bunch of phone calls to try and recreate the issue.

This project is still very much in testing - not meant for daily use around office meetings :p

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

Haha ... good point! I wasn't actually in a meeting. But those who were heard my speakerphone at full blast :). I assume I run the adb commands using my PC with DroidExplorer installed? If so I guess I should reproduce the issue with the phone connected to my PC?

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

Basically, yes. With these types of issues it's not easy to sort out, and the only way devs are going to be able to even dream of starting to fix the issue is with logs. So a dmesg, an adb logcat and adb logcat -b radio will all probably be in order. The more logs w/issues the better, y'know?

My problem is, I haven't figured out how to recreate the issue. It only seems to happen when I _don't_ want it to happen, which I guess is Murphy's law. Like I said, sometime I probably just need to make a hundred phone calls when I have unlimited minutes at night hahaha!

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

Great thanks.

I am not sure what's going on but I have the USB drivers installed and had my phone working in DroidExplorer a few weeks ago. Now my phone will charge but not sync with my computer. I double-checked that USB debugging is turned on.

Ah, the problems never end.

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

I have noticed things go a bit haywire when call waiting kicks in.

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

Whenever I press a keypad button while on a phone call, the speaker phone glitch happens. For example when checking voice mail, I press 7 to delete the message. The speaker then semi turns on.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with how the phone handles system audio?

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

Perhaps. May be a messed up RIL too, and it's not passing commands to the radio correctly and the radio is freaking out. That's my best uneducated guess ;)

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

Recently I had calls have no audio, static and nothing else on the other end to speakerphone flipping out.

Yea I don't make many calls but this is ridiculous at times.

Re: Calls switching to speakerphone
 

Use WinMo for calls/work, Android for play/data. That's how I swing it at least. Occasionally people call me when in Android, and I just hope&pray that it works correctly. It seems to be whenever it's an important call I have issues. We're working on it, as with everything with this project, it's a 'work-in-progress'.
