1. remember a wifi ap first.
2. turn off the wifi
3. turn on the wifi again
4. immediately turn off the screen before it search n connect to the wifi ap
5. when it connect the wifi ap under the screen is turn off
6. the HANDS FREE MODE turns on automatically itself. weird.....
Everytime when i off work and back home, it connect to my home wifi ap, and the HANDS FREE MODE will turn on itself
It is very annoying...

Whenever I switch from LTE/3G to wifi the Hands Free starts by itself. At first I thought I was touching the home button every time I came home and left the car, was "driving" me crazy... :laugh: But finally figured it was when I changed to my home wifi that it started automatically.

Dasdman, so how do you fix this issue ?
Everytime when i return home and the phone automatically change to home wifi, the hands-free mode turn on automatically
But I want to use my home wifi when i am at home, or my office wifi when i am at office
but i DO NOT want the hands-free mode turn on.
Is there any solution to solve this??? Is this a FLAW ?? a BUG ??

I have not seen a solution or any widespread problem reported. I have confirmed it auto starts when switching from 3G/LTE/4G to WIFI.

same here

Hands-free mode bug
I have the same issue. I bet they call it a feature but it is a bug. I do not need hands-free mode while I am connected to my home wifi. Why would anyone want to have that mode turned on automatically again, after I turned it off?
This is a bug - looking for a solution!

Problem Solved
I found a solution to the problem - at least it worked for me.
Go to location services under settings, chose my places, chose car, select method - none, save.
Now the hands-free mode does not turn on automatically.
Hope this works.

Was having the same issue on my Tmobile N3.
This Works. I remember at one point adding these settings in. Would have never thought that it would do all that. Either way thank you! :good:

You, my friend, are some kind of genius! This thing has been bugging me for weeks! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

I hope this helps someone...
I found this thread via a search for my issue, which is that I have an S4 (SCH-I545) running MK2 and Hyperdrive and when I put it in the iBolt xPro car dock, 2 instances of HANDSFREE show in the notification panel. A screenshot of the screen when docked.
Itried the actions described in this thread, buit those boxes were already unchecked.
I found on another thread that disabling the S Voice app would help.
Well, turning off the S Voice app did get rid of one, of the two instances of HANDSFREE, in the notification panel, when docked.
Now to figure out how to remove the other....

I have the same exact problem and it's very annoying as it read out messages and answers phone calls sometimes too when it hears people talking in the background
Really stupid I'm thinking to switch to iOS

Please turn flight mode off first .....

I know you've seen that before, but how do i get rid of it ? It comes up, without ascing it, when i make a call, it's on the screen, when i want to turn bluetooth on, it's on the screen, and i don't want it, how do i move it ?

i dont know, i've got that a couple of times before when i tried turning my BT on.. what i did was turn flight mode on then off and it fixes it. i got that message maybe 3 times and i havent got it in a while now.
Hi there
My guess is that you are using a small proggy to turn on/off the flightmode, right? Well, that program does indeed turn off the BT part, but it doesn't always turn it back on again! Try using another switcher, or use the built in flightmode functionality instead.

flight mode problems...

hey all,
my problem is this: if i put my BA into flight mode, after a random period of time (its been anything from 5min to 30min) it automatically comes out of flight mode and switches back to the phone being on.
now, i'm basically using my BA as a pure pda so i haven't even got a sim card in it... if i can disable the phone side of things all together, that'd be great, but if not some kind of fix to stop it reenabling the phone would be much appreciated.
thx~

Hi
have the same Problem in Flight-mode. Is there anybody who knows how to patch this?
This might be a problem for me..
I'm away to KL next week (12hrs in the plain)
Flight-Mode
Be sure, that no application (like Pushmail) is starting any GPRS-Connection.
In my case (installed HTC Comm-Manager), I can't start/stop Pushmail over the Comm-Manager - i change the settings in ActiveSync (Shedule) and change to manualy.
Then it's recommended that you stop the Data-Conneciton. I can't stop it with Comm-Manager, so I use the G-Symbol in the Titelbar to end the connection.
Perhaps it helps.

I think i've found a fix for this... well, so far my phone hasn't gotten out of flight mode for 72 hours so i'm hoping this is a fix.
anyways, goto start>settings>menu and make sure "profiles" is enabled
then goto start>profiles
in all the profiles, for the ring type select "none" and set the phone volume to the lowest setting then click apply for each one separately
eg: click on general, select "none" for ring type, set the phone volume to none, click "apply" or "ok" (its the left softkey). then go back into the program and repeat for silent, etc etc...
but yeah, this seems to have worked for me so far. ^_^v

Wifi not connecting on 'wake up' after some time

I have my home wifi connected, and set to 'turn off when screen off'. The problem is that my phone doesn't seem to connect back to wifi if the wake the phone up after some time. This never was an issue with Captivate. But with this, even using a widget to turn on wifi doesn't seem to work. I need to go through all the way to wifi settings through the settings app manually turn it off and on.
Anyone else facing this issue?
I'm not because I have it set to always stay on. When I know I'm not going to he using the wifi heavily or I simply don't need it, I turn it off.

wifi and bluetooth grayed out

Hi guys!
I need help on turning on wifi and bluetooth.
Whenever I go to open it in the settings, it's greyed out.
When I click on it, it's gonna look like it's turning on but after about 10 seconds, it will turn off.
And, when I click the wifi and bluetooth buttons on notification screen/quick panel, it does nothing.
Thanks!

help with screen rotation and WiFi

Hey! So I recently purchased an Axon 7 and I am so far really enjoying the device. I have just one problem and its starting to annoy me.
Whenever I am viewing something in landscape mode, and I disable auto rotation because I don't want it to switch back to portrait, it automatically switches me into portrait mode when I turn off auto rotation.
Any idea on how I can fix this? Thanks.
I also have another question regarding the WiFi.
Whenever I unlock my phone and go into an app, eg: YouTube, it shows no internet connection. I go into settings app and I'm getting full bars, but under my network name it says "Connected, no internet".
Message goes away after a few seconds and WiFi starts working again.
any help? Also, the arrows near the WiFi icon are always blinking and everything seems to load slowly as if the WiFi needs to reconnect. I've already checked the advanced settings in WiFi and WiFi is set to always be on during sleep.
thanks
