Anyone has this problem? My TP picks up calls 8 out of 10 times on its own. The phone settings are not set to auto answer and its worst when its connected via BT headset.
Totally lost here.Tried different ROMs and RADIOs and its just the same
happened to me too when my phone was new. i found that the leather case that the phone came in with accidentally presses the answer button when i take it out sometimes. or MAYBE you leave your phone in your pocket and the answer button is accidentally pressed by pressure from the cloth of your pants.

Hmmm..I suspected that too but unfrotunately...it also picked up when i was holding the phone...
I'm having this problem too. Anybody have a solution?
Do you have gyrator installed as this seems to have a function defined to auto answer the phone?

Thanks. Remove the event in gyrator and works fine now.

Is anyone having issues with the Tbolt hanging up by shifting the phone around during a call? This is getting frustrating as its happening a lot. I'm using BAMF 1.6.3.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Yes...methinks it has something to do with the proximity sensor?
Under sound settings, try unchecking "flip for speaker". It may be too sensative.

My proximity sensor is horrible.

None that I know of yet. It is the proximity sensor, as my bolt is also plagued by this issue. Hopefully someone will take the time to adjust the sensitivity of it in a ROM so that it doesn't wake up the phone so easily while on a call.
I have that same issue. I got in the habit of hitting the home button before I put the phone up to my face. By the time I end the call, my browser or something is opened, but at least I don't hang up on the person I'm talking to.
Another solution: after the call comes in and you answer, just hit the power button. The screen will turn off (and won't turn back on until you hit the power button again).
I saw another thread about this. Someone said that lint gets into the speaker grill and messes with the sensor. Just lightly blow onto the grill to get the lint out of the way. I had issues with the screen not turning off when I put the phone to my face. This solved my issue... for now.
I have had my phone for almost 3 weeks now, and last night was the first time that I have had this happen to me. Was trying to check my voicemail, and the screen kept cutting on me. When I moved the phone, it would come back on and then just cut out again. It made it a pain to try and input my voicemail password and menu prompts.
Anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix to it?

You wouldn't have been in an environment where the phone thought you were holding it up against your head by any chance?

No. I was in a well lit room with the phone anyway from face.
I have the same problem. It happens when I have to dial more numbers into any phone call (basically during a call)
It is hard to enter phone numbers or even end the call sometimes.
What is wrong with the phone?
Pretty sure this is caused by the prox sensor. It happens when i use my rt. hand to enter passcode. If I use my left hand it doesn't happen. Only happens on the dialpad screen. I think the sensor is a little too sensitive.

Thanks, I'll try entering numbers with my right hand and hold the phone with the left hand instead.
Hi guys,
I have no idea why during calls sometimes the touchscreen activates itself which results in pressing mute or hold by accident... this is really annoying, i have to keep the phone far from my ear to avoid this. Anyone knows how to stop this?
Thanks!
My Wife has the same problem... Anyone have any idea? or how to just kill the mute and hold buttons in the dialer or render them inoperable?
Solution: I used Cheekey Hang Up Gard. This is free and works fine for me. It locks the screen during a call unless you press the back-button.
The problem with hitting keys by mistake happens to all the people who do not press the phone so close to the ear. In this case screen might activate so that you can hit some button with your ear.
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar! That is EXACTLY the type of solution I was looking for, both elegant, simple, AND free. I searched for a solution before posting, but apparently my android and google-fu is not as advanced as yours. I bow before a greater power (bow).
Thank you!
Thanks works like a charm

Do alternative markets like 1mobile work there? There is a program called "Don't Hang Up" (which I didn't try). But I attached Cheeky Hang Up Guard here.

Oh... I fear there won't be any software solution for that problem... If you are fast enough you could try cleaning it with distilled water and only use the phone again when it is 100% dried. However water might also come to some places where it is hard to get it gone again.

well it worked partially for a while... pity it was a nice phone!
The problem happens when you tilt the phone past a certain degree. I think it may be the flip for speaker mode. I'm going to shut it off and see if it happens anymore.
any way to change the calling screen guys??
I haven't been able to find this problem documented anywhere so I thought I'd ask.
It seems that my Nexus 5 has suddenly began turning on when being held at a certain angle. I believe that the proximity sensor has something to do with it. It started to happen after I was on the phone for a couple of hours. I've tried restarting, and switching from Art to Dalvik.
Is anyone else familiar with this problem or a solution? It's driving me nuts!
Thanks

Are you using a case? it might be pressing the power button.
I have using a case, but there is an oversized cutout around the power button. I am almost certain that this is related to a bug with the proximity sensor.
Mine, when using stock kernel would sometimes turn on by itself after pulling it from my shirt pocket..
Hasn't happened since I stopped using stock kernel.
Doesn't seem too common another poster, think whozilla saw this behavior as well.
No biggie.just odd.

does it turn ON after you power the phone OFF
or you mean that it wakes up from sleep state randomly?

No, it won't turn on if the phone if OFF. I'm referring to it "waking up". It will wake up simply by holding the phone at a certain angle and distance away from the body.

Are you using a custom Rom/kernel? if so, try installing a new Rom
If that happens to be a hardware problem, It could be more related to the power button than the P.sensor
Most common issues related to the sensor is that screen stays off. Eventually, a screen protector can produce that, but not in your case.
The proximity sensor won't notice the angle you tilt the phone at (compass sensor does). It needs to detect something in front of it closer than +-1 inch to act up and should
turn off the screen when in a phone call. There's no much reason to turn on screen because it is not its function and much less if not phone call is happening.
Maybe the USB port is dirty and thinks you plugged a charger
or power ribbon/connector is loose inside, if any.
Hey all,
My nexus 5 is keep unlocking itself while it's in my pocket, and doing random things like calling people, opening apps etc.
I set the pattern lock, and it helped, but from time to time I still see that screen is awake when I pick phone from pocket, sometimes it's in emergency call... Is there a "pocket mode" or something that I turned on or what's up with my phone?
Anyone else experiencing similar thing?
I hate pattern lock thing as well, but I saw that as only solution to a problem that I had.
HA..ha.ha.. Happens to me all the time. But in my case it happens only when i get a call while the phone is in the pocket. Not only does the call get rejected or accepted, but it also unlocks the phone, opens a plethora of apps and then goes back to sleep.
Now, the solution
Do you use a case? If yes, is the power button covered by the case? If yes, then you can either change your case or cut the case around the power button.
If you don't use a case, make sure your power button is not messed up! or you might have to replace the button (THE CERAMIC ONE)
Good luck let us know how it goes

Thanks for your quick answer.
I do not use case yet, looking for one these days for sure. The phone is new so I don't think that button should be replaced, it's working just fine from what I can tell. Guess that i'll have to stick with pattern and to see if some nice case can help with this problem as well.
Thank you once again.
Never once has my Nexus 5 done anything in my pocket. I'd say its your pocket's fault, not the Nexus 5
I'm running LiquidSmooth. It has an option that the screen doesn't turn on if something covers the proximity sensor. It's quite useful when your N5 is in your pocket but if it is laying on the table and I try to unlock it I need to watch out a bit
