Either you don't have the knob pulled all the way, or the disc in the spout is faulty.

Why does Hot water pour from faucet when shower head is on so water is coming from shower head but still comes out of bottom spout. how to fix?
Employ a plumber.
Why has water pressure dropped at shower head if you haven't replaced the shower head recently and you don't have a problem with calcium deposits?
Is more water comming out your tub spout? if so change spout
Why would a shower make a squeaking noise 20 minutes after turned off then drip water?
if its just a shower and no tub spout then it most likely must be in your shower head and if its a hand held shower head (with a flexible hose attached) it most likely has a bad seal or some other way which allows air to get inside and drain the water out slowly. The same can be for a shower with a tub spout diverter and the shower head has a bad seal thus letting the water drain down the tub spout and it can be a real slow leak to cause the squeaking noise 20 minutes later, my guess of the squeaking noise would come from the air being pushed inside the shower head.
Why is the water still running in the tub when the shower stem is turned fully in shower setting?
The valve is not be diverting all the water. This valve may need to be replaced.
What causes water to continue to flow through the shower head when you have the diverter to only flow through the spout?
depending on your spout diverter if its a valve or is it on the spout it self, if the diverter is on the spout then your diverter is not letting full flow of water out of the spout and its putting enough pressure to allow the water out of the shower head, I had this problem before and if you change the spout it should fix the problem. If you have a 3 way valve which is on the wall then i would suggest replaceing the parts in that valve if possible other wise change out the divert valve. If your broke like me and want a cheap fix then put either a water flow resistor or a shutoff right before your shower head.
Why does it take a long time for water to drain from the bathtub when running water from the faucet. But when you run water from the shower head I have no problem?
More "VOLUME" flowing from the tub spout then the shower head as the shower head has a flow restrictor
Why does bathtub spout make a tea kettle whistle when shower diverter is pulled up?
Your tub spout isn't fully diverting the water to the shower head and a very small amount is leaking through. The smaller the hole the water has to exit, the greater the pressure. Replace the tub spout, usually costs less than 20 dollars.
If you replaced both cartridges on a shower valve due to very low water pressure and still no water pressure you removed cartridges and turned water on and water pressure is good?
May be build up in the valve itself or the shower head.
Why would a kitchen Faucet run for a second when turned off?

Its a loss in water pressure to the shower.
Dropped watch down drain bathroom sink turned off the water removed the ptrap retrieved my watch replaced the p-trap turned the water back on. Now there is no water coming out except a drip...?
Probably rust and minerals that came loose when you turned the water off and plugged the screen in the spout. Unscrew the screen the the end of the spout and see if that doesn't fix it.
