Disable hold button during call?

[Guest Shange]

Is it possible to disable or remove the "hold" button during a phone call?

Its very annoying when my ear touches the hold button during a call. Its hard to notice until other part has end the call.

[Guest MrVanes]

The proximity sensor should turn off the screen and thus disable the hold button as far as I understand it. I never had it accidentally activated anyway. What happens if you hold your thumb over the sensor (top right beside the speaker)? Does the screen blank? It should (during a call, at least).

You can also try to increase the sensor's sensitivity:

settings-call settings-advanced settings-Set P-sensor sensitivity

Thanks both for your help. My sensor works but was set to low. I've changed it to high, hope it helps.

[Guest Seth Cold]

it still happens when set on high... i hate when that happens, im holding the calls with my cheekbones

[Guest MrVanes]

Did you actually check if the sensor works? Blocking it with your thumb during a (fake) call should blank the screen, even at low sensitivity. If it doesn't I assume your proximity sensor is borked...

[Guest Seth Cold]

no, its working ok... but happens from time to time

I've had it happen too but putting p-sensor to high seems to have fixed it. It was on medium before.

I have this issue too. I keep switching my phone from ear to ear during a call and therefore face a lot of problems with clients demanding why i'm putting thm on hold without informing :). Switched to a bluetooth handsfree. Wish someone would do something abt it.

The phone app on the B70 stream ROM is awesome but i prefer the speed and stability of the liquid B70 ROM.

just switch interface...and you will have the speed and stability of stock eclair...

How do I do that in your ROM? sorry for being such a noob..

Go to Settings, Applications, User Interface and choose Android UI.

I also hate this. I'd like to add something too.

Can we (the developers actually) add the feature 'Vibrate when answered' ? I had this in my HTC Magic in the ANdroid 1.5 days so it's kind of depressing not to have it now.

Strange, i change from LCR 1,6 to LCR1,7,2 and this "Advanced setting" disapered.

Can anyone confirm that this is not available in LCR1,7,2?

[Guest Rajit]
