- The only cure I have found is to use the original AT&T OS 7.0.0.576, my phone has never face dialed using this OS. All the 7.1 versions including the new one from AT&T will face dial on my phone, however the AT&T version works the best of all the 7.1's that I tried. The lock apps are just a bandaid, they are not 100% effective, tried them all.10-10-12 06:23 AMLike 0
- There is a sensor on the device itself to specifically stop this from happening(proximity sensor), if you hold the device tight to your ear, this will never happen. Never had it happen on any BB I've owned, from my old pearl(not sure if that had a proximity sensor or not), to my curve, to both my torch's(9800 and 9810), and now on my 9900.
Like apple says, "your all just holding it wrong".10-10-12 06:32 AMLike 0 - There is a sensor on the device itself to specifically stop this from happening(proximity sensor), if you hold the device tight to your ear, this will never happen.

If I was holding it wrong why does it work fine on 7.0 OS? If this wasn't an issue why are there so many apps to prevent it? I wonder how many people with the "mike issue" are actually putting the caller on hold. Give me a 9000 with a track pad and OS 7 and I would be a happy camper, these phones are too small for touch screens.10-10-12 07:12 AMLike 0 - I was born at night but it wasn't last night, I know how the phone is "supposed" to work.

i've to reanimate this thread. im using my bold 9900 for one year now and constantly have the face dialing issue. im on the latest .861 (7.1) now but the problem still occurs.
those face look etc. apps did not work well for me because the slide to unlock button can be unlocked too easyly (even wid the touchpad).
every 5 of 10 calls a day get forwarded, muted, conferenced etc. i think it happnes more if i hold the phone in my left hand but im not sure about that. anyway, this bug is driving me crazy there must be a final solution for that. maybe goin back to OS 7.0 ?02-28-13 08:50 AMLike 0 -

Then you won't have that issue during calls.hi guysi've to reanimate this thread. im using my bold 9900 for one year now and constantly have the face dialing issue. im on the latest .861 (7.1) now but the problem still occurs. those face look etc. apps did not work well for me because the slide to unlock button can be unlocked too easyly (even wid the touchpad). every 5 of 10 calls a day get forwarded, muted, conferenced etc. i think it happnes more if i hold the phone in my left hand but im not sure about that. anyway, this bug is driving me crazy there must be a final solution for that. maybe goin back to OS 7.0 ?patron42 likes this.02-28-13 10:49 AMLike 1
- I have the same problem, and I use Advance OS +LED as well. The Call Screen Lock feature eliminates the problem02-28-13 11:46 AMLike 0
