deactivate Headset Button

with two presses at the headset button you recall the last number
How can i deactivate this function.
If you hear music and put the butten by mistake, that is boring.
Have somebody an idea?
Please, please.

What do you mean with "headset button"?
Such a hardware button does not exist.
TDO

oh ye it does exist? on the cable "hub" of the headset, I've got this problem aswell
carrying a bag arond the shoulder putting pressure on that spot making calls to different people :/
getting tired of coming up with lame excuses for why I'm calling them from out of nowhere!
Should be able to deactive it somehow?

Very annoying indeed. Anyone's got an idea on how to disable this button?

Yes open it up and stick a piece of paper under the electric contact.

I have the same problem.
If you press the answer/hang up button on your headset twice you'll going to do a call to the last called person. I actually made a 3:rd call once by mistake during a call and have BIG problems with be sure that i end phonecalls by using a headset.
This sux. Also, the music player hangs and sometimes the phone if I got an SMS or alarm notification while music is playing. If the music player hangs, I have to re-sync the headset bluetooth devices with the phone. that sux also.

I find this an anoying feature as well. Keeping the whole set in your pocket will most likely lead to an accidental call...
Anyone a solution to this?

...programmatically.

He he what a surprise was when I was walking on a street n listenin to music n suddenly music stopped n I heard "hello hello are you there??"
Yep that sucks but I think there´s no option how to disable it..perhaps only that way what´s written above

Ok, see I'm not the only one with this problem.
The funny thing is that almost nobody uses the functionality, but everybody is annoyed with it
any sollutions yet, I really hate it
grtz

Would love to find a solution for this too

my button is definitely malfunctioning and activating without any button press. until i can deactivate this thing, leaving the headphones plugged means i'll call someone within a few seconds.

Since I lost my headset, I no longer have this problem now

if you press the headset button twice, the system will simply run redial.exe in \windows, so you can disable it by replacing any program with the same name that do nothing.

Mine annoyed me so much I pulled the front off the button and ripped the metal contact bit out. It worked, but isn't ideal.
I now have a wicked pair of Jabra BT3030's bluetooth headphone receiver and I love it. Much better!

i installed Total Commander an simply edited the Redial.exe .. after nearly throwing the phone out of the window..
PS. i know the thread is old but maybe there are still ppl looking for a solution to that problem just like i was ten seconds ago

Same here.
There are other threads about this problem.
Still looking for a solution like, let's say a registry hack that disables the headset button...

Skype Audio Workaround

Just found this trick the other day when I was looking for something to do voip with video. I ran into a program called tivi phone. I tried to make a video call. It crashed. No big deal, I wasn't expecting too much. I found, though, that tivi phone had re-routed all of my audio to the earpiece. When it crashed, it never got sent back to the rear speaker. I started skype, had a conversation with the phone the right way around for once, then restarted tivi phone and exited normally. Audio all back to normal now. Seems like if tivi phone can re-route the audio then skype should be able to do the same, but whatevs. now, whenever I want to skype without a headset, I start up tivi phone first, and the audio is in my ear, where it should be.
Hope this helps someone, it's definitely made my life a bit easier.

yep you're 100% right, great find.
Run tivi in background and then skype works as it should.
and coders from Skype watching? we need another app to make yours work as it should.

Thanks for this easy workaround

nice. gonna check it out. thanks
bro

Wow, this has been a dream for long time...
The only problem is that the sound continue to work to the ear speaker even if you close the Tivi Phone application...even ringtones

Nice find. It's working for me as well. I have never been a big fan of wearing a bluetooth headset. For this reason i never used skype mobile. Now i think i will use skype alot more.
Thanks for the tip!

Handsfree over the spreaker

Since I'm a lot on the road, driving, it's handy, when recieving a call, if the phone automatically is set on handsfree (speaker of the phone).
In the past there was the program from Oldsap to do this but the latest version of this does not work on my Diamond2
Does somebody know other free software for this? or,
Does somebody know a registry tweak or entry so the phone is alway's in handsfree modus, over the speaker of the phone?
Thanks in advance....

Try searching for touch_incall_screen_tweak in the forums.
Works well with my d2, just need to flip over the phone & it turns on the speaker, flip it back the speaker shuts of.

Flipping the phone when is placed in car holder, during driving, is difficult, don't you think.
There must be another way to do this...!!

2.2 headset woes

I just upgraded to 2.2 for the Captivate using the ODIN3, and everything is working great except sound through the headphone jack.
Music, navigation plays through the headset, but phone calls and notifications don't.
How am I supposed to hear them with music blearing over it?
Anyone know of a fix? I checked the settings and I don't see an option for it.

Search would have told you that this is a known issue - 2.2 is Beta.
There is no known fix.

You are lucky, mine doesnt let me even hear media or music thru the 3.5 mm!

???
I have 2.2 installed and don't have any issue with the headset.
Both music and phone calls work great.
BTW I'm using the stock hands free, the one that came with the phone.

My bluetooth works fine, it's the headphone jack I'm talking about.

i am having the same issue after upgrading via odin3. I also have to click the home button to clear a read text message or else it reminds me again.

No voice out of the "3.5 mm"?

Yeah that was a LOLWUT post. And that's been on the phone since I've had it, it's intentional, I think. Because you have to press the back button to clear the notification, because when you click on messages again, it stays at the same spot and the notification stays in the title bar because you didn't clear it.

i hear sound but i dont hear voicalls or notifications. if im listening to music with my sony headphones and someone calls i dont the ring through the headphones or the voice. i have to use the handset

when i was on 2.1, if i clicked a message from the notifiaction bar it would bring to the thread and mark it as read. froyo is not doing that. is there a way to fix it

IDK what 2.1 you had.
The one I had, I had to press back to clear the notification. It still does the same thing on 2.2.
It could be a bug, it is a beta.

I missed reading that in the notes.
I've searched quite a bit and never ran accross anyone mentioning it.
My headphones play music, notifications, everything just great, but in call volume is terribly low (NOT on headphones, but when I route the aux cable to my stereo in my car)
I had the issue initially in 2.1 from stock ROM, but managed to fix it somehow, and I can't figure out how. I tried all the evice level fixes, eve 6 different audio control apps off the market.
My typical setup is that I never use earbuds or headphones. I plug the aux cable into my headphone jack and run it sraight into my car CD player in aux mode. It plays everything at normal levels EXCEPT in call volume. If this is a bug, I'll just have to deal with it then.

Recently I had a similar issue. My SP always thought headphones are plugged in but actually they are not.
Reflash stock wiping everything.
About that SoundAbout app you better learn how to use it before you modify any setting. For now only check the notification bar whether headphone or loudspeker is used for media output.
Set phone call audio to "Let App Decide"

thanks but I actually did wiped everything with flashtool and flashed the rom, and I did flashed several roms
----
edit: btw, I did that graphite thing but still no luck, how much is needed? what should actually be done?
is it a hardware thing or software?? cause it happened exactly after downgrading from 5.1 to 4.1 stock, I also relocked bootloader and restored TA but no luck.

Dont try graphite method right now. First we need to confirm its a hardware or software issue.
Uninstall and install SoundAbout app and dont make any changes. Then u hit SoundAbout Service and choose ON-With Status and then tell me what u see in the notification panel(in use for media).
P.S. Use thanks button instead of saying thanks.

well I flashed the rom all over again and installed soundabout, there isnt a ON-with status option instead there is on-forground so i chose that the moment the notification came, touch sounds started to work(and walkman plays now through speaker) but handsfree is not detected - mic and earphone still not working
in status it says: Bluetooth (mono) in use for phone call
I actually did the graphite thing! but no luck and also i think it's not even a method cause graphite can even cause damage!

Now i got your problem. It has nothing to do with graphite thing. Graphite method is used for stuck in headset mode.
Some sort of bluetooth device is connected with your phone and ur phone is transferring the mic and earphone control over to that bluetooth device. U turn off bluetooth and check if mic and earphone work. Also check soundabout status and if possible upload the screenshot of notification panel showing the current media status.

Okay...... Okay ur device reporting false positive that Bluetooth device is connected but in reality its not. For now the temporary solution would be set phone call audio to let app decide or earpiece. Note that this could be temporary solution tomorrow i would research in more detail and sort this out once and for all

yeah, as I said when i just run soundabout service speaker sound starts to work but handsfree isnt detected
and when i put phone call to earpiece mic starts working but after this step the Proximity sensor becomes always active and it turns screen off the second my hand comes close to it, and earphone still wont function
anyway, you dont know how much you would make me happy if u figure this out!

My version is the latest one v2.6.4. I recommend u to update it.
But anyways u try this.
1.Bluetooth behavious->tick (Mono) microphone override
Probably ur mic will start working.
2.Phone call audio->Earpiece
This would be an universal override to force audio from earpiece.
If possible update ur app coz the setting i said may or may not be available.

Wired headset (with mic) in use for media. I got u now.
I strongly recommend u to do that graphite thing.
I suffered from same thing but I could not tell u before because u used older version of app that showed something about bluetooth.
Please refer to the other thread by me in Q&A section.

Actually it should work. Dont give up.
The actual description of the problem is phone is stuck in headset mode.
Here is how to get graphite from pencil.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AFYtNMweyM
Put the graphite powder in the headphone jack and plug in & out headphones 10x times. Try to put more graphite powder and repeat until your notification panel shows "Phone speaker in use for media" (check attachment).
At last if it didnt work then the only solution left will be replacing the headphone socket.
Good Luck!

Just a little Addition, replacing the headphone socket would be cheap and easy. I had opened my phone yesterday to clean it and this socket was easy to take out.
By the way: There can be a LOT of dust under the protector of your front speaker. Cleaning this has improved the sound while calling quite much!
