Someone must know how to fix this?!

This is the single most annoying thing about my HD2. I want the data connection on but I don't need it telling me when it can't connect especially when I am in the middle of trying to compose a text message or navigate somewhere using tomtom!

Thanks but the issue is not the connectivity or lack of it just the annoying notification. I don't want to be notified regardless of whether or not I can connect. Anyone know how to turn off the notification?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
I thought the screen shuts off when you're in the middle of a call (proximity sensor?). On the iPhone, when you're in the middle of the call, it shuts the screen off when its by your face just so you don't hit anything like mute, etc...

Any way to get around this? Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parrot5:
Mine shuts off the screen when your face is close to it.

Settings -> Call Settings, do you have Keep screen awake checked?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
I don't see that option. Settings, then call settings... I see voicemail, call forwarding... That's pretty much it. Running Stock 2.1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
Mine has done this a couple times now,i'll be talking to someone and all of a sudden start hearing beeps as if hitting the numbers on the keypad. First time it happened I thought it was the person on the other end but it happened again last night and I looked at the phone after I got off the call and it had #2* or something like that in the dialer so something is definitely weird here.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmesisca:
are you using a screen protector/skin/case ... anything?

mine has never given a problem.

so far.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Maybe you have a really skinny head that's not passing the sensor?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
Nope, I imagine this will happen to everyone at some point though. It doesn't happen very often, it just out of the blue will happen one day. I guess the more you talk on the phone the more likely you will be to eventually experience it :) Maybe it has something to do with enabling the keypad? As that is what I did last night to punch in an extension.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bofslime:
This problem happened with my gf, when she had a droid. For some reason while she was talking on the phone the screen wouldn't always stay off and she would bump the on screen buttons with her cheek and end up usually trying to add a new caller to the call, thus muting whom she was talking to. She also had a lot of problems with the Capacitive touch screens, it wouldn't register half the time where she touched.

I've never had this happen to me, I doubt it actually will. It must be something related to how we hold our phones, and where it lines up to peoples differently shaped heads.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
Never happened to me in 2-3 years with the Iphone. To act like it is happening because we are holding the phone wrong is a bit absurd, I mean it's not exactly a complicated process :) I will try and figure out what's happening, haven't paid much attention to it yet because I figured it was a fluke but it happened twice now and is happening to other people.

One thing I noticed last night was the phone screen was still blacked out while the beeps happened so it's not a sensor thing the screen is actually blacking out it's just being activated again by something that happens after it's off I assume.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
I'm not using a case or anything. It NEVER happened to me with the iPhone, but it happens quite often with the Nexus One. VERY annoying... It should be like the iPhone, where when its by your face, it shuts off the screen AND disable the touch buttons below the screen.

I think its the touch buttons causing the problem... Because my screen does turn off when its by my face.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
This is the behavior I experience with my nexus one (stock and custom roms). As soon as I place it near my face the proximity sensor turns off the screen.

The capacitive buttons below the screen are disabled when the screen turns off for me as well. I just called in to voice mail and hit every one while the screen was off due to the proximity sensor, not a single response from any button or the screen and no change in call status when I moved the phone away and the screen came back on.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
Yea it's some kind of fluke, It happens so randomly I am thinking it might be something to do with the internet connection like checking mail or maybe the GPS doing something that wakes up the buttons while the proximity sensor keeps the screen off because everything will be fine then all of a sudden it happens while the screen is still blacked out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Sounds like a factory reset might fix this issue... definitely not normal behavior.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
I think this is happening to a bunch of people. I don't think a factory reset would help. I think its a bug...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
No it's not a normal behaviour you are correct however it's not anything a factory reset is going to fix either. It's some kind of software bug that once enough people experience it will get sorted, just a matter of time before enough people start complaining to bring it to attention of Google or HTC.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Are you accidentally hitting the volume buttons on the side of the phone? It sounds like you might be turning the in call volume down, thus leading to it being muted.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
^^ No... My face actually hits the mute button. I then have to click the mute button with my finger once i realize the person can't hear me and then they start hearing me again after I click it.

It happens with other buttons on the screen too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Figured I would ask... I sell cell phones, and I get about 1 person a day in that has muted their in call volum by accidently hitting the volume toggle button without knowing it... all different phones (BB's are the worst!).

Anyways, my proxy sensor works perfect! I even just tested it a bit, and it senses a single finger tip starting about 1" away from the screen anywhere along the top of the screen... worked on both the left and right side and everywhere in between just fine.

I use my phone a lot at work in call (calling in to CS, calling the manager, etc) and have not had a single proxy sensor issue in the week I have had my phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bofslime:
May not be normal, but its not a bug that seems to be effecting all phones. Same thing that not everyone is experiencing random touch events, 2g/3g toggling, or dust/dogfooding. To say every phone has this problem because you do is simply short sighted.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
LOL shortsighted eh? It's a bug it will happen to more and more people eventually and you will see, i'm sure it will happen to you eventually as well. Only thing shortsighted is your reply.

Good day to you sir.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
If it is in fact a software bug, then reflashing the original image that's available in the Development forum should fix it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
No sir, bugs are found and fixed as people find them, whatever portion of the code effects the bug has not been touched as the bug persists through stock firmware and the latest OTA update. The update was primarily for multitouch and 3g issues. The only way this will be fixed is like said previously once it starts happening to enough people that htc/google take a look at the code effecting it.

Cheers.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flarbear:
I searched for "proximity" on the Android issues list and didn't see any issues that talked about this:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list

You might want to go there, sign in with your Google ID and submit the issue so it can be tracked and fixed. Hopefully more people who experience it can Star the issue so it raises its visibility and priority...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
I'm operating under the assumption that this "bug" is really just a defect in the software on some phones. Reason being that only a handful of people are affected... I certainly have never come across such an issue. So... my logical conclusion was that if these people have "partially corrupt" firmware, then a flash of the original image from another source (i.e. the Development forum) might fix the issue.

If this was a global "bug", then it would affect everyone... Anyway, that was my thinking on this issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
I just updated to the latest OTA and I'm still having the issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booloobunny:
This happens to me too but only after I take the phone off my ear to see if I have a text or something. The top of my ear always hits the HOLD button and it takes a bit to realize I am muted. Annoying indeed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This just happened to me. Made a call, went to spearphone on purpose. Got off speakerphone, and after a min or two i heard dialing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
Happened to me again a few minutes ago, this time it brought up the Web Browser and I kept hearing clicking in the background lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfmiller:
I have this problem with my phone on occasion as well, and I'm beginning to suspect that it has something to do with hair interfering with the proximity sensor. I can never reproduce the issue using my hand or finger to trigger the sensor, but when I have it by my face if I move the phone around I can pretty much always find some position where the phone goes back on.

If hair is the problem, that would explain why it is so random. I have some shaggy tufts of hair right near the sensor, more neatly shorn guys may never see this problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
It must be an individual bug because my proximity sensor is so sensitive that I can't even get the phone close to my face before the screen turns off during a call.

Maybe their phone is just freezing or slow to react for a second so that the sensor doesn't kick off in time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSavant:
This happens to me quite a bit. I looked in a mirror while talking on the phone and I can see that the screen turns on sporadically. I tried to alleviate this problem by pressing the sleep button while on a call. The screen goes into sleep after I press it, as it should. Unfortunately, the screen still turns on sporadically while on a call even when holding the phone near my head.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabido:
Theres a sensor at the top Left corner of the screen ( black part of the screen). If you put your index finger over it or even hover right above it, itll go into sleep mode. Shouldnt be a problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
This is not really a bug, it's just related to how some people hold their cell phones. If you angle the phone away from your head enough, the phone will turn the screen on, the proximity and light sensor are just doing their job.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
I managed to hit end call with my cheek :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfmiller:
I agree it's not a bug, it is probably a hardware issue. I thought this was explained pretty well, but the screen goes on even with the sensor basically in direct contact with some people's faces so it's not a matter of holding the phone in some weird way so that the sensor has nothing to sense.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesbalmer:
The only way to prove this is taking a video of someone holding their finger down onto the sensor while in a test call.

Hiya,

Debrand meaning you do not want to see the Orange startup screen right? Then you will need to change your ROM to one of the stock ROMs. Please refer to upgrading ROMs section of forum for low down on that. Loads of better ROMs to try from too. :)

Or use program like "Diamond Tweak" with many more settings you can change.....;)
[Touch2 General] mccune:
Indeed... ...but be carefull. HD Tweak, Diamond Tweak and Advanced Configuration are not 100% compatible with the HTC TouchPro2.

Some people prefer total control over their device by using a registry editor rather than a program that doesn't show exactly what it does ;)

After installing the Realplayer alternative codecs it still fails to play back the audio.

The only two ways to play back the video with audio according to a few google searches so far is:

1) use quicktime

2) try realplayer

Problem is I hate both those players and dont want to install them!

Anyone know of any other way ?

I've been successfully using my email on the TP2 for months but suddenly find I cannot send emails from my accounts.

We'll probably need a little more information to go on...

-What happens when you try to send? Any error messages etc?

-What "accounts"? Using the regular WM e-mail client? POP3/Imap?

-What carrier are you with? The first step will probably be to double check the standard e-mail account/network settings, the latter of which are particular to each carrier.

-Have you confirmed that you can receive e-mail to any/each of the accounts you can't send from?
