locking screen during recording sound. - General Questions and Answers

This may be a silly question as Im not to familiar with my phone yet, but is there any way to lock the touch screen/buttons so they dont operate when the sound/note recorder is running. The phone is a XDA ORBIT.
I cant seem to access the 'lock' icon when sound recorder is running, without the recording stopping.
I have tried installing a device lock app, that locks fine, but again when it locks - the voice recorder stops recording.
Is there any way to lock the screen and let an application continue, so I can have the notes voice recorder left running, without fear the screen will be touched accidently or a button accidently pressed and the recording stopped.
cheers

[Q] Unlock sound just started working...

My Nexus S 4G has been running Gingerbread since I got it upon its release. Until a couple weeks ago, I never used the screen lock feature. Now I'm using the pattern unlock. Works great. When I lock the screen with the Power button, I hear a faint 'click' sound. This is the lock sound. It's always done that. When I unlock with the pattern, no sound. It's always done that. The other day, I got the Ice Cream Sandwich update. Still using the pattern unlock. Still no sound when I unlock with the pattern. Today, for no obvious reason, my phone is playing a sound when I unlock it with the pattern. (Actually, I just turned off screen lock altogether and it plays a sound when I just turn the screen on with the Power button.) I see alot of people are having issues getting their unlock sound to play. I don't want the unlock sound. It's annoying, especially if I'm having a texting conversation. Is there any way to stop the unlock sound from playing? Thanks.
check your sound settings and untick the screenlock sound
Nope
Unchecking the Screen lock sound in Settings only removes the screen lock sound -- the faint click sound. Ghe unlock sound is still being played.
Media Volume
I don't know about ICS, but in Gingerbread, the screen lock sound volume (and keyboard ticks for that matter) are dependent of the level of the media volume. So if you have your media volume down all the way, you won't hear the lock sound (or keyboard click).
To change media volume in Gingerbead (should be similar in ICS)
from home screen..
menu>settings>Sound>Volume>adjust slider to the right to increase, left to decrease
OR
You can just play some music/game sounds and push the volume up button.
hope that helps!
That's weird...
Since my last post, I hadn't changed anything. The screen lock sound was disabled. The next day, the unlock sound stopped playing. I figured it must've had something to do with the fact that screen lock sound was disabled. I re-enable screen lock sound. Now, the screen lock sound (the faint click) plays but now there is no unlock sound -- just the way I like it and the way it used to be before I started this thread. I've noticed some other annoying things with ICS since it's been installed (like not always showing the contact info/picture for an incoming call even though their CallerID number is being displayed). I'll just chalk this up to annoying behavior. Thanks for the replies.

Auto Call Screen Lock

Someone may have a same problem with me.
It is the touch screen problem during the call.
When you use a bluetooth device or handfree device to answer a call or make a call, the screen will be on, then may touch anything, such as end the call, mute or hold.
Although there have a light sensor, but i dont know why keep touching anything in my pocket.
After i search information about this, i find "After Call Locker", but it only lock the screen after the call, not during the call, so i do it.
My app can screen off(lock the screen) when you make a outgoing call or answer the call.
AUTO CALL LOCK SCREEN(Free but advertisement, Displays only when you open the program to do a configuration)
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happy.autocalllockscreen
or
AUTO CALL LOCK SCREEN PLUS(paid but no advertisement, because of the google service library, so this one file size are very less)

Sorry and hope you can understand my poor english.
Thank You.

How to fix microphone auto turn off while recording

My rom is Cm 4.2.2 created by blindump, Can someone tell me how to fix this. This is information from Easy Voice Recorder app
" parts of my recording become silent!
Some devices turn their microphones off*when their screens go off, and Easy Voice Recorder cannot detect this on every device. For these devices, you will need to force the screen to remain on while Easy Voice Recorder is recording. You can do this by going to Settings->Advanced and setting “Keep awake while recording” to “Allow dimmed screen” or “Leave screen on”

Proximity sensor giving problem

Whenever I attend a phone call or call on messenger app the screen goes off immediately as if I have held the phone against my ear. Then I lose control of the phone completely. I can't put the call on loudspeaker as the screen is off. The screen comes back after a while when the other person on the call ends the call. Or I have to switch off my phone. This happens also when I play an audio file on Whatsapp, the screen goes off and I hear audio from the speaker adjacent to front camera.
My friends having same phone and Android version don't face this problem. I tried rooting my phone, installed a custom ROM AOSP [7.1.1_r12]Nougat for Nexus 5 [N4F26M] but the problem still persists. If anybody knows the FIX or any suggestion please reply.

Galaxy S6 Edge+ Bluetooth forcing speakerphone when phone screen is off w Nougat?

Hi all,
I am having an issue with my Galaxy S6 Edge+ with Bluetooth forcing the speakerphone when I am making a call and driving. This has just starting occurring since the Nougat update. If someone calls me I can still answer from the head unit and the Bluetooth works perfectly. The issue is when I make a call and press the steering wheel Bluetooth button. When I do this and say the name of the person to call I get the voice command saying "Calling so and so mobile...ON SPEAKERPHONE". It says it's calling the person but then says ON SPEAKERPHONE.
What is interesting is I played around with different settings, reset my phone, unpaired and repaired, and still the same issue since the Nougat Update. But what is interesting is that I found if I make a call while my screen is active (screen is on), and I make the same Bluetooth call, I can see the google voice icon pop up on my phone, the call is made CORRECTLY, through Bluetooth. However, if my screen is off and I make the call, it ALWAYS reverts to speakerphone. So as long as I touch my phone to make the screen active for 5 or 10 seconds or whatever I have the screen set to, as long as the screen is on the Bluetooth always performs correctly. I can not figure out how to prevent the speakerphone from being the primary source when the phone screen is off and I make a Bluetooth outbound call.
Again, if someone calls me, it doesn't matter if my phone is locked, screen is off or on, the Bluetooth always works fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Seems to me that the wakelock for Bluetooth calling is set to be inactive while screen is off. See if you can find that wakelock or some other wakelock that would disable Bluetooth calling and switch it so that screen off does not interfere.

@ droidriven, thank you for your reply. I have never heard of wake lock before, is this an option within settings on my Galaxy S6 Edge+? I never had this issue with prior OS's but with Nougat this issue immediately became present. If you could lead me in the right direction where I might find the wake lock setting for Bluetooth, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you again.
it looks like you are on to something. I checked this again and anytime I make a call via Bluetooth voice command and where my screen is off, I hear the automated voice command say calling so and so....on speakerphone....but when it says this, the screen stays locked and does not activate on the voice/Bluetooth command to call. I am using google voice and see no settings for wake lock or anything similar but I have pinned this down to anytime the screen is off, the voice command/Bluetooth always go to speaker phone. If someone calls me, it always works correctly, but that is because when someone calls me, my screen automatically engages/turns on.
Anyone else have this issue? It's definitely a problem and dangerous to have to grab my phone to turn it on or unlock it before making a voice/Bluetooth call. Any help to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Go to PlayStore and do a search for:
Wakelock Detector
Wakelock are system processes and don't have a "setting" to manage them.
Use this app to find the running wakelocks, if you track it down you can then look for a way to manage it the way you need it to work. It works with root and without, instructions for without root are in the link.

Droidriven,
I have a little more info on this issue. I did more research and realized somehow my "S VOICE" app was disabled so I enabled it and right away this issue was fixed! With S VOICE enabled, anytime I use the voice recognition button to make a call the screen on my phone immediately activates and the call works without going to speaker phone. With S Voice I can at least use the voice recognition button to make a Bluetooth call while driving and not have to worry about the call going to speakerphone.
The only issue I have noticed is it appears S VOICE isn't as accurate as google voice and google voice worked perfectly for me before the Nougat update. Now that I've isolated this issue to google voice where the screen will not activate when using the voice recognition button on my steering wheel to make a Bluetooth call and which causes all calls to go to speakerphone.....is this still something this wakelock detector may fix? My phone is not rooted and I have downloaded the non-rooted version of wakelock detector, I just don't know if it's going to help or not. It's odd that google voice worked fine prior to the Nougat update, whether my screen was off or locked when using Bluetooth and now all of a sudden this issue is present.
Any suggestions on this now that we know it's only google voice that has the problem and not S VOICE?

According to this and many other links I checked out, this is a common issue due to G Voice and S Voice incompatibility.
