Droid Muting During Calls & Phone Running Slow

Muting/Dropped Calls:
I've had my Motorola Droid for almost a year and in the last several months it started muting during calls - I can hear them but they can't hear me. When I realize this, I'll look at my phone and it is either locked or out of the "In Call" screen (for lack of a better word). To fix it, I need to unlock it (if it's locked) and then enter back into the call by dragging down the top menu. After I'm back in the "In Call" screen, they can hear me (if they haven't hung up by this point). This sometimes happens several times within the period of a short call. Other times the call will drop completely.  
I'm always very cautious about my face touching the screen as I realize this may be a cause. Although sometimes the screen is lit when the phone is to my face and the sensor should recognize it's up to my face. Sometimes it's black when it's away from my face and I can't get the screen to come back on without taking out the battery. This is especially unfortunate when my call is mute and I can't get back into the call.
I've tried *228, option 2. We'll see if that works...
Running Slow:
In addition to the muting/exiting calls/dropping calls, my Droid has been running especially slow in the last month. I've tried deleting applications, pictures, anything I could think might be slowing it down. But it continues to take 5-10 seconds or so to go from email/calendar/texts to the home screen or to open anything.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

My phone used to mute and disconnect all the time. I almost lost my mind! I never have the problem anymore since I downloaded an app called Screen Suite. It costs about $3 and is well worth it. I have had it now for a few months and my problem is solved. The app is available from the market. I highly recommend it. Good luck!

    It's important that you have a steady WiFi connection, ZealousEdge. What phone do you have? Is your phone unable to connect to any WiFi network? If you can, please try deleting the saved WiFi network and re-adding it.

    Since this update:
    Phone running slow

    used to be able to double click home button to play music (no longer) now I have to swipe upwords to get player on screen. When I hit play button and nothing...

  • IPhone 4 self muting during calls

    My phone only works 10% of the time.  During calls my phone seams to self mute.  I can hear the other person but they can't hear me.  If I squeeze the bottom of the phone it starts to work, but I'm told the voice is all static on the other end.  Searches on the net say it's an IC audio chip problem, any suggestions?  Is it worth sending the phone back to apple to fix?
    Cb.

    Open up your Finder window & check the bottom of the window in the middle.  It will tell you how much HD space you have left.

    Empty the trash!
    Open up your application folder & go through all your apps.  Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
    An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
    In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
    Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
    Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need.  Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.).  Or transfer/move them all to a photo/movie storage site like ImageShack and Photobucket, 2 of the most popular  FREE  storage sites.
    Get rid of all your video & music files you no longer view and/or listen too.  Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website.  Or transfer them all to a FREE video/movies and/or music storage site.
    Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything.  You can even trash directly from Spotlight!
    Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash.  Better yet, download this neat little shareware app *demo* called AppZapper.  It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
    Another software that does the above is AppDelete.  Best of all this software is free!
    Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs. Not everyone has the  luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or the system requirements for iCloud to store their "stuff.”
    Dropbox is a free storage facility software.
    You can check with your ISP to see if they offer *free* storage space.  Most if not all do now-a-days.   There are thousands if not millions of *free* storage facilities on the web also.  Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
    Check for duplicate fonts.
    Applications>Font Book
    Select “All Fonts”
    If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
    To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + *click* to select multiple dotted fonts;
    Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
    What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts.  Not delete them.
    More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
    Clear out font caches
    Use FontNuke.  It does all the work for you.  And, best of all it’s *FREE*.
    Printer Drivers
    Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your *current* printer(s)/scanner(s).
    HD>Library>Printers Folder
    If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
    Garage Band
    Has about 1GB of loops stored.  Get rid of some some them.  You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
    HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
    Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
    Get rid of extra languages
    Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
    You can do this with a *FREE* utility called Monolingual.  Another app that apparently does all the work for you.  I’ve never used it.  However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
    However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

  • Is there a way to lock the phone's touch screen during a phone call?

    I just purhased my iPhone and I noticed that during a phone call I may accidentally tap Mute or Speakerphone with my cheak, depending on which hand I hold the phone in. Also when I hand the phone over to someone they may accidentally tap a button, and in the worst scenerios they will accidentally end the call.
    Is there a way to lock the screen or something to prevent any of the above from occuring?

    Their currently isent a way to disable the buttons but what you can do is click the home button during a call after pressing loud speaker and that will separate you from the call options and take you to the home screen and on the top it will have say call active and you can click that to renter the call note the call will still be active but when you hold it next to your face the screen should temporally go dark. Steve jobs was the one who came up with when the top sensor is active the screen will go dark and disable on screen button pressing when it is press against your face

  • MacBook Pro running slow and lagging during app switches/start

    I mean, it's really getting bad. I have to force quit repeatedly and then by some miracle - something takes and the program opens. Most of the time this happens with Photoshop and Firefox (which is what I use most often). PS does not have a bunch of add-ons running or installed. It's pretty much CS3 factory.
    I ran Disk Utility yesterday - during the verify disc, it told me to boot from the install disc to fix the 2 errors it found. I backed everything up and I did. Ran all the verifies and repairs from the start disc.
    Still running slow and by this I mean when I open an application it takes a ridiculously long time to open the double-clicked document or just the program itself to get to a new doc. I noticed it again this morning with Excel (which is something I don't usually leave open and running).
    What else I have done, which helped but just a smidgen ... was to remove all the extra fonts (and I did have thousands) in Font Book. I also removed Font Book entirely because it was another program that was locking up and needing force quit all the time ... and I just plain don't like it. So I installed Suitcase Fusion and only have the bare minimum needed in there (which kind of bothers me since I am used to have thousands on hand that just need to be turned on or off - yes I know, I keep them all off unless they are absolutely needed). But I only have one set in the Suitcase (42 font family).
    I got my laptop in Feb ... so this painfully slow and lagging stuff shouldn't be happening. It used to work great. I could have all the apps open, flipping between them, really getting things done.
    Here's my comp info:
    Version 10.6.4
    Processor: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    HD: 500gb but I have 345gb free
    Any obvious things I am overlooking? Any suggestions on how to get this fairly new thing back up to speed?
    Thanks!

  • How can I add a contact during a phone call

    some times during a phone call the one im taking with give me phone number and i dont have a paper to write down this number to save later, my question is how can I add a phone number during a phone conversation?
    please note that im using iphones with latest update iOS 7.1.2

    While on a call you can use the "add call" or "Contacts" buttons to get to the Contacts app.  You can then add a new contact or add or edit numbers in existing contacts.  (If the keypad is showing, press "hide" to see the other buttons.)  Press the green bar at the top of the screen to return to the phone screen.  If you are not using the headset, you can switch to speakerphone first, so you can talk while doing this.
    If you want to use another app while on the phone, press the home button, then choose the app.  It won't disconnect the call.  If you have a CDMA carrier (Sprint, Verizon) you won't be able to use cellular data while on a call.

  • My Lumia Icon goes dark during calls and I cannot access the phone pad to unless I hit the power button.

    My Lumia Icon goes dark during calls and I cannot access the phone pad to unless I hit the power button.  Because of this it makes it tough to put my phone on speaker or type in my v-mail password.

    I've been trying to find a common denominator. It happens inconsistently. It never happened before the Denim update. When it does occur, the screen goes black immediately upon answering the call and doesn't come back until the call is ended by the calling party.
    I thought it might be the proximity sensor, but when it's working normally I can see the screen go dark when it's at my ear and comes back when I take it away (tried it multiple times). I had Gestures Beta installed. I wondered if that could have an affect so I uninstalled it, but that didn't make any difference. I'm still stumped by the inconsistency. I haven't reset my phone as I didn't really want to go through that...

  • I cannot turn up the volume during a phone call

    My "+" button on the side of my phone is broken and I cannot turn up the volume during a phone call. Is there any other way to control the volume during phone calls?

    After trying everything I gave up.
    But just 5 minutes ago... I dropped by phone on the floor, not from high, just sitting on my chair at my pc desk...
    And someone just called and i can hear them!!!
    So...
    for me, i guess it was really a piece inside that wasn't making a good connection and well...
    I accidentally fixed it...
    But I wouldn't reccomend you to drop it on purpose.
    But maybe go to your nearest apple store, ask them to open it and see if everythin is in place inside?
    cheers

  • Call Library Function Running slow

    Hi
    I’m using a third party IO board for DAQ experiment. To create a real-time DAQ VI I used the DLL file which’s supplied by the manufacture, I managed to get the VI working to read from the board by using the Call Library function. But the vi running slow, it takes about 10s to get the reading or spot any change, while using Visual basic application any changes are spotted instantly
    Any help will be appreciated

    Just for analysing, where the timeleakage occurs:
    Try to measure the execution time of the library function(s). It whould
    be interesting, if they realy produce the timeleakage or not.
    I modified your project for this (see attachment).
