[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] referenceid@yahoo.com:
Hi, I am having problems in using Voice Command 1.6 when my ATT Tilt (ROM version: 1.62.502.0) is connected to external speakers such as TV speakers, Car speakers etc. I am using 3 in 1 USB Adaptor to connect cable to speakers.

The problem seems to be with Microphone of the phone which is for some reason being deactivated as soon as the 3 in 1 USB adapter is plugged into the phone. For the first time when I used 3 in 1 USB cable, it worked fine. But after that it stopped working and Microphone is being deactivated as soon as 3 in 1 cable is inserted into phone.

Whereas, when I insert other USB cable such as for charging, ActiveSync etc, microphone seems to be active and I can use Voice Command while the cable is inserted.

Please help. I need the microphone to be active to be able to use VoiceCommand while my phone is connected to my car's AUX port speakers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Matthes42:
you have to use that original htc adapter to connect a universal earphone. this adapter has a microphone in the 3,5 mm plug.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] referenceid@yahoo.com:
Hi Matthes, You mean, the original htc adapter has microphone builtin?

Also, as I mentioned, my voice command worked properly with my adaptor once (for the first time).

I am not sure mine is original or not, I bought it online and there is no brand name on the adaptor. All it says is 3 in 1 USB Adaptor, RoHS, Made in China. I dont even have the original package for this adaptor. So, cant tell if its HTC or not.

Does the original adaptor says 'HTC' on it?

[Android Apps and Games] TienDatPhan:
Dear all,

This application was inspired by the fact that there are great demand on editing and sending quick SMS, without much action from your hands (no keyboard typing, minimum screen touches). Unfortunately, current applications on the market do not provide an adequate handsfree experience, as they still require many clicks on the screen (search for contacts, select contacts, switch to message text box, etc.). Besides, most of them do not allow multiple sentences to be inputted at one go, as you might need to click to the listen button again and again to add new sentences. Furthermore, punctuation marks and capitalization between sentences are not well managed.

Given the aforementioned reasons, we have created this application, which provides:

Handsfree contact searching

Handsfree contact select and unselect

Handsfree message editing

Support multi-sentence message. You just need to speak sentence by sentence

Support punctuation marks. You can speak "Hello comma how are you doing question mark", the result will be "Hello, how are you doing?". You can also add punctuation marks at the end of your sentence just by saying it.

Auto capitalization at the beginning of sentence

Support sentence or message deletion with voice command

Send message to SMS application with voice command

Adding emoticon with voice commands

Let us make the SMS editing by voice a real handsfree process.

Play store URL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tphan.smsbyvoice

If you see that this application can potentially interesting to you, please don't hesitate to take a look and try it. Your feedbacks will be strongly appreciated and valuable for the evolution of our application.

Best regards
[Android Apps and Games] TedyBo:
This is a good variant. I think it's better to use apps that have templates or ready-made phrases, of course you need to touch the screen, but a minimum of touches. I'm comfortable with this. You should always aim at a large number of people. I have an example of such an application for images with text like sms https://www.maxaboutsms.com/love_sms.aspx . I use them because they are cute, they can be quickly and conveniently searched for and used. It is also very easy to install. I wish you good luck, I like your approach. People like you do mobile and unique things.
[Android Apps and Games] TienDatPhan:
Dear, thank you for your feedback :) . Definitely, that is also a potential approach. For our application, we target the minimization of screen touch. For now, with our application, users can search for contacts, select/unselect targeting contacts, edit message (add sentences and delete sentences), and forward the message to the default SMS application, with

only ONE single touch

(to start the voice recognition). With this approach, we believe that it fits various use cases in which users prefer to minimize the number of touches on screen. And last but not least, your messages will not be limited by a finite number of ready-made phrases :-D
[Android Apps and Games] TienDatPhan:
UPDATE: Version 1.0.1

We have just released an update which:

Fixes the issue on voice recognition library visibility on Android 11 (for those who have experience with Android 11, this library visibility is no stranger to them)

Improves the flow between searching contacts and editing message. For example, if the application is currently focusing on the message editing, and you say "Drop all contacts", the application will unselect all selected targeting contacts for you, and also switch the focus to contact autocomplete box.

Allows users to re-enable the tutorial. It will be useful if you forgot how the application works and want to see the showcases again.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] wilsojer:
Have had my S21 Ultra for a couple of days, now. All good, except for one thing - my proximity sensor does not seem to work. I have tried a couple of sensor test apps and they confirm that it is not working.

Have I done something really stupid with settings (always possible !) ? Or do I maybe just have a defective phone ?

Any suggestions as to what I can do to resolve this ? Don't want to have to send the phone back !

Many thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] wilsojer:
Sorry for the blatant bump, but keen to know if anyone has any thoughts on this. Has anyone else experienced problems with the proximity sensor on the S21 Ultra ?

Many thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
As much of a pain as it is, return and get a new one. If it fails the tests it's dead.

Make it Samsung's problem child...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] wilsojer:
Thanks, @blackhawk - sadly I think that you might be right about that. Was just hoping that someone in the fabulous community might have a brilliant solution !
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
You're welcome. Someone here very well may have a fix but it should have been right leaving the factory.

At least it's an obvious constant issue. Intermittents ones are the stuff nightmares are made of🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] eldrid:
Are you sure it has a proximity sensor? I dont see it in the specs on GSM arena. Also I installed CPUZ and looked at the sensors tab and it doesn't show any value for proximity sensor. I dont think the S21 ultra comes with a proximity sensor. There's only a camera on the front rest all of it is screen right?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
It does. Not sure where but it needs that input to function properly.

Archived - Samsung Community

us.community.samsung.com

I don't recommend a factory reset unless you did a firmware update. Find to root cause otherwise it will likely reoccur.

Check all relevant settings and disable all power management.

Clear system cache on the boot menu.

Try a hard reboot (not reset).

Try in Safe mode.

It may be purely hardware... especially if it did this out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] wilsojer:
Thanks (again) @blackhawk. Yes, I do believe that it has a proximity sensor. According to GSMarena:

View attachment 5206523

I will try each of your suggestions and see if I can get this working. Not sure if it did this straight out of the box as I didn't test it. I updated the software after the initial set-up as it told me that I needed to do the software update. Wonder whether that caused it.

Will try the different tests and will report back !
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] eldrid:
Yeah it does. My bad, looks like I missed it. I also did a test call and the screen does switch off when i hold it against my ear. So most likely a defective unit.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] DaReDeViL:
Test apps apart, if the phone call screen doesn't turn off when you put the phone to your ear, then there's definitely a problem. Especially that there's no special setting which can completely block the proximity sensor.

If you suspect a misconfiguration, then a factory reset can probably help.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
The clock on a clean return is ticking. If a factory reset clears it but it returns after 10 days the return option is gone. Be stuck right where he started with less options.

It could be something added after unboxed or not... tough call.

File corruption can indicate a bigger issue maybe a bad flash or hardware. I find it troubling that's it's on a completely hidden basic function.

I would error heavily on the side of caution.

Aside from a boot loop (2x) I never -needed*- a factory reset to solve any Android issue.

Most techs go with the reset nuke option because it's easiest fix for them not you. The root cause is still there waiting to be triggered again... been there, done that.

*excluding the been there thing (that 10+ was returned but the replacement did the same thing; it was a settings glitch), one reload due to possible virus infection and OS refreshes for heavy abused loads.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tine21:
Hello

I dial *#0*# and under widget sensor it doesent even says proximity sensor.

Can somebody check if they have the same?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] wilsojer:
Sorry for not getting back earlier - yesterday was a tough day at work !

@Tine21 - I agree that it doesn't reference a Proximity Sensor, but everything that I am reading online is that the S21 Ultra definitely has one.

I eventually got in touch with EE and asked for a replacement. Have to say, they were excellent and I had a courier the next day arrive, pick up my old handset and deliver me a brand new one. Having tested this out, it definitely shots off the screen when I am on the phone and I put the phone to my ear, so there absolutely has to be a Proximity Sensor and, with the new handset, this is working fine.

Sadly, I can't get the "wave to phone to wake screen" functionality working, but that is a minor issue. Also, bizarrely, the sensor test apps that I am trying do not pick up any movement on the sensor at all. No idea whether this is the fault of the apps or what, but seems a little odd.

The main thing is that the screen goes off when I pick up a call and put the phone to my ear, so that is good enough for me right now. Might look into the "wave" functionality later.

Many thanks to @blackhawk and all the others for help and advice - this is why we all love XDA forums so much !
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tine21:
@wilsojer Great that you fixed your problem

I was reading a lot about it and apparently, with these new infinity O screens, a lot of people have problems with proximity sensor

I think that screen ON/OFF function during calls works with front camera, gyroscop and touchscreen like on samsung 20FE

That is why you dont get any response from sensor app, but this is only my opinion
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] 78apb:
I am afraid, there is no Proximity Sensor in the s21*. The phone detects the "answering call to the ear" gesture by using 3D accelerometer(s). Try to answer the call while laying down on the sofa or slow moving the phone to the ear - the screen will remain active and your ear will press everything on the touchscreen..

Hope I am wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] wilsojer:
@78apb What you say would make sense as to why I can't get any of the sensor apps to recognise it, but if you go to Samsung's own website (https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-s21-ultra-5g/specs/) and go about 2/3's of the way down the page to the "Sensors and Buttons" section, it definitely states that it has a Proximity Sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] 78apb:
@wilsojer then it should be in *#0*# menu, but it doesnt...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] wilsojer:
@78apb - yes, I quite agree. Think I might try and take this up with Samsung direct - and, no, I won't be holding my breath for a reply ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] oae08:
I think you are right I dont see the proximity sensor at all and if i put my hand covering the whole upper screen it still doesnt turn off the screen, so i think it depends also on acceloremeter and gyrometer
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tine21:
I found something that maybe will help us. If you dial *#77692# you will go directly in to the proximity sensor menu and you will see that it is turn OFF. You can turn it ON and it is working but in a few second will go OFF again and i dont know why. But at least we know it is there and it is working.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ionutdicu:
if it's like on note 20 ultra, then it's not a physical one but works as an algorythm based on accelerometer, camera etc

honestly, it is working awfully on note 20 ultra and it was one of the specs that I was hoping not to be found on s21 ultra too...

apparently, the algorythm is working better (more sensible) if you decativate Accidental Touch Protection in Settings>Display

anyway, it is a very bad approach
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dajaco:
All of the samsung phones have a proximity sensor beneath the pixels of the display - if you start a phone call and look around the camera / sensor area of the screen you might see a flashing pixel or two that change colour slightly.. that's the region of the screen that the prox sensor is sat beneath.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dajaco:
I just tested it on my S21 Ultra - and you actually cant see it in call anymore (used to be able to see a flashing pixel on older devices) - however i can tell that it is located beneath the display just to the right of the selfie camera cutout.. you can go into a call - and then move your finger along the entire left region to the left of the camera.. no change.. and then it triggers if you put your finger just to the right of the selfie cam - I'm sure teardowns will confirm.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] xwing1000:
Please try this test, like on this video

Install from store "Sam info" or "Device info HW"

Go to sensors and find proximity sensor info.

What is there?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] 78apb:
Selected info does not change when i move my hand close over the top edge of the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] wilsojer:
I contacted Samsung about this yesterday and was on live chat with one of their representatives. I mentioned this thread and all of the very helpful and knowledgeable people who were participating in this discussion. Although she wasn't able to help me, she has requested that one of the technical team contact me directly and I have agreed that they will be able to see my phone live whilst we go through this. I will ensure to show them all of the things that have been discussed here.

For me, the *#77692# screen where you can turn the Proximity Sensor on (albeit very briefly before it turns itself back on again) as mentioned by @Tine21 is possibly the most encouraging thing. If we can find a way to turn it on and have it remain on, then that should solve all of the issues. My guess is that currently this only ever gets turned on by the Phone app when you are actually in a call. I will bring this up with the Tech team when I get to talk to them.

@xwing1000 - I use Device Info HW and in that app, under Sensors, the Proximity Sensor details are as follows:

Name: Palm Proximity Sensor Version 2

Vendor: Samsung

Version: 1000

Max Range: 5.0

Resolution: 1.0

Power: 1.2

Unit: cm

With my (very) limited knowledge, it does seem that there is an actual Proximity Sensor there (both from the *#77692# screen where you can turn it on and off) and from Device Info HW where it seems to indicate that there is actually a real sensor. But I could be totally wrong about that, of course !
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jcastill:
Wonder if Samsung is turning on the proximity sensor only when it thinks it's needed based on accelerator data. Could be either to save battery or might be related to the screen (since sensor sits behind screen continuos use could be problem)

I base this reason since AOD doesn't have a turn off when in pocket option anymore (that option used the proximity sensor)

Also, did a test call, and with phone down, the screen didn't turn off when I placed my hand on top of phone, yet when I moved it and placed my hand it would turn off and on responding to my hand getting near, it even responded to placing just one finger to the right of the selfie camera cutout.

Same behavior is easily replicated when using the command shared above and turning the proximity sensor on.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] xwing1000:
I think some programs reports :

Palm Proximity Sensor version 2

Some, like Code *#77692# reports:

TMD 4912

-------------------------

Like in Samsung g975 - (S10+) also detected "Palm Proximity Sensor version 2 (Samsung)";

Lots of issues been reported :

Users Continue To Report New Issues With Galaxy S10 Proximity Sensor

The latest issue we are hearing is with the Galaxy S10 proximity sensor, which users says is behaving strangely during calls.

www.valuewalk.com

Samsung account

us.community.samsung.com

“If the symptom still occurs in safe mode I would recommend a service repair,” the moderator said.

Additionally, some users said the Korean firm lowered the threshold distance for the proximity sensor.

“…please note that in my case the sensor is actually working, but the maximum distance for which the sensor reacts is way too small. For s10, it is about 2-3cm compared to previous model where the distance is doubled,”
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] oae08:
But for example when I use google DUO to make voice calls, the screen does not turn off most of the time when i put it to my ear.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] wilsojer:
Yes, I think that you could be right @xwing1000. My model number is SM-G998B/DS. The fact that it might be virtual seems to make sense. It also explains why Samsung controls when and if the "Proximity Sensor" is ever utilised (seems to be only when the Phone app is being used).

I'd love to be able to use this with other apps (e.g. Wave to wake screen), but it looks like that is not going to happen.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] xwing1000:
@wilsojer

When You use code *#77692# what is Device id for Proximity sensor?

Also "Palm Proximity Sensor Version 2" ?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] xwing1000:
Try this:

Some users were able to fix the issue by tweaking the sensitivity settings in galaxy s10.

I had the same problem, but after installing the new Swiftblade Rom it all went better :) its like the other ROM is too slow so that it forgets your thumbs is on the screen and then it just opens a Program.. all these problems totally disappeared with Swiftblade 6.0
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Riel:
Try this:

realign your screen, but barely touch it! just pres SUPER SOFT just hard enough to make the crosses react.

Then try scrolling again ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] 6680abhi:
Thank you so much - this did the trick! When I originally configured it, I remember pressing down really hard - this time I pressed down as softly as possible, and it resolved the problem!
