mute-when-flipped-face-down doesnt work

[babedieboe]

the mute-when-flipped-face-down doesnt work!! (new phone)

so i checked for this in the registry according to this well-known-tweak:
4. Switch Mute Call on phone flipped face down: HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE : FaceDownMuteRing: change value to "0"

but it is set to 1, so it should work, but it just doesnt.

I have it lying flat face-down on a very horizontal desk, but it still rings!

any suggestions?

thanks!

I had the same misunderstanding. The flip ringer silence functions by turning the phone when it begins to ring and laying it face down. Hope this helps.

hi m8!
thanks for your reply

1. then this whole function becomes much less interesting i think :(
2. i tried your suggestion: didnt work as well.

it should be nice to have it muted while display face the table but the real usage gives sense as well ... the phone is ringing you look who is calling and then put it back on table to mute it ... if you want to have permanent mute then simply activate vibrate / silent mode ...

FaceDownMuteRing is set to 1 default (as i have it now) and it doesnt work now.
You say i should set it to 0: that doesnt make sense. 1 = true,
in this case meaning to mute when facedown......
Not?

Mine is set to 0 and does not work....

Mine is set to 1 and works, if i set it to 0 it doesnt work.

Seems like you have a duff phone there, id send it back for a replacement or get them to fix it.

[rakh1]

ok - set mine to 1, did not work. Figured a reg change might need a soft reboot - which I did and now - IT WORKS :)

Are you aware that this doesn't work if you are called and your phone is already facing down!? This function requiers you to flip the phone face down when you get a call (from the starting position when it is on its back). If it is facing down already you need to flip the phone 360 degreeds over its longest axis to mute it.

This function is not suitable for meetings in which you cannot be disturbed. In that case you need to put it on silent or vibrate mode manually in the config menu.

[babedieboe]

aware of that yes.
set to 1, reboot, tried
set to 0, reboot, tried
set to 1, reboot, tried

nothing works.....mmm

Do your accelerometors work? Does the web and photos move around the screen as you rotate the device? Does the ball game work?

I simply changed the value from 0 to 1 and reset.

Left the phone face up on my desk and called it. Then turned it face down and the ring was muted...

[babedieboe]

yes, the game works....
IT WORKS NOW!
i reinstalled (hard reset) and all ok now.......mmm

i tried it after 3 hard resets! each time worked only once:confused: till the first soft reset. after a soft reset the value in the registry stayed "tweaked" but with no effect.

Mine is set to 1 and it works gr8

[JanDaMan]

mine works no problem... make sure you are using the new ROM's. (and btw having the phone so that it is silent when ever the phone is face down is silly, coz it may be in you pocket (or hand bag 4 women) and face down and then it wont ring... no good. the default method, of looking at the screen and then turning in face down is a good idea tho...)

[weblance]

I had the same problem - didn't work no matter what i did. Recently i updated the ROM to 1.93 and this fixed the problem. Works like a charm now.

You can set this to go to vibrate automatically if you're in a meeting (that's in your schedule)

kukuriku, my dear friend let me help you:
in the tweaks thread there is a mistake. registry should be 1 not 0 (like somebody already write here). that's also the default. use your head m8!:D

Thanks KuKuriKu for the clarification.
I have updated the thread with the list of tweaks.
