[Q] Problems when riding motorcycle

[Mrsums]

Hi all,

Just love the Sensation - but some of the enhancements I have found also have a sting in the tail. Anyone give me any pointers for these?

When riding my motorcycle, I have the Sensation plugged in to crash helmet headset. Found "Not Another Call Manager" to give me phone auto-answer. Normally I have my music on, and when a call comes in it gets auto-answered. Every thing fine - yes, really fine.

Small problem is that when I get kitted up, I turn on the music and slip the phone in my breast pocket. Sometimes as I slip it in, the phone decides to redial the last number, alternatives are music switching off or selecting the next track.

I understand the music oddities - swipe left/right gets you next track and also pause is available - just odd that it does this with the screen turned off. But I don't understand where the phone comes in - I can't find anywhere that you can just swipe the screen in any particular direction to get last number re-dial.

I have now bought a leather wallet to put the sensation in whilst riding, but it didn't stop a "pocket call" first thing this morning, even through the sensitivity seems to be greatly reduced.

All comments, help and guidance welcomed

Check in the settings to see if something is enabled that would change the track if you shake the phone.

That seems to be the most likely culprit.

i have the exact same problem when riding my bike. the issue is that the phone will pickup the headset connection and freak the **** out and start auto dialing. Mine is worse, it will call and hang up > 3 secs of music > call and hang up > 3 seconds of the next track > loop like this till I pull over and unplug my headset.

The issue is with the headphone jack and somehow its sensing commands as if you have a remote plugged into the line.

i haven't found a way to stop it. Somedays i get by with no problems, while others I will have to pull over 2-3 times on the way to my destination

Great call! I have had this a few times too, but didn't realise it was the jack connector - I thought it was the act of slipping it into the pocket. Makes a lot of sense as when I use my bluetooth headset (not configured for the bike) everything works perfectly. May have to consider going BT on the bike.

However, once I am up and running I don't think it happens at all.

I have this problem but I don't ride a motorbike - I just get it when I'm walking along with the phone in my trouser pocket.
