Ghost Dialing

OK so this is side security post. I just stated using the Motorola Elite.

With the Motarola Razor Max (which I switched to for the excellent battery life and talk time). However I usually keep the ear piece in the charging case (which has its own battery capable of charing the head set up to 3 times) so in theory you can get 20 hours of talk time on the head set with out a charge. 

So recently  have noticed that when in my pocket it may try to ghost dial the last number called. To solve this I first tried to enable and then disable airplane mode with Verizon Wireless which did seem to work for a bit but then the same problem came back. 

However I can now post a real simple and FREE solution. The app is called "Tiny Call Confirm" and it essentially put up a Yes/No confirm screen to all outgoing calls. You can find it at:

I highly recommend it It prevents ghost dialing. I would also note the that the motospeak application FREE as well works great with the headset and reads text messages for you and allows you to respond by talking and it transcribes for you; very convenient when driving or working.

All in all a excellent product with a minor issue.

More soon.
