I see people had this problem for months with different Android phones, but I have to check to see if anything had changed with the Sensation... or is there an app to help... I can't believe nobody handled this serious issue.
When I pair my Sensation with the car audio system via the Bluetooth and answer the call by pressing the button on the wheel, the screen of the phone is unlocked. If I move even slightly, or the car hit a bump on the road, something is pressed and strange things happen. It sometimes ends the call, switch the speakerphone off etc. I need the screen to stay locked while using Bluetooth hands free.
Is there an application that helps in these situations?

I wanted to ride the ICS wave but after experimenting with multiple radios/ROMs/hboots/kernels configurations I always got the same issue - while in call my screen gets black and no button will wake it up unless the call is interrupted (by the other side). Haven't found a real solution but created a workaround that actually works pretty well for me and decided to share it with whoever is in the same boat.
APK and sources attached.
I created a simple service that kick in during an active call. If activated tricks the phone into thinking that there are headphones plugged in and the screen is being turned on. While in this more the audio is being redirected to the headphone jack so you don't hear anything through the earpiece but normally I need the screen on only when I want to hang up and either way don't hear anything. Basically works perfectly well for my needs.
After installation enable and configure the service via the simple form. Once done when you get the black screen push the Vol Down multiple times to get the the lowest value and the service will unlock your screen. To get back the audio through the earpiece (and lock your screen) press Vol Up as many times as necessary to get to the max volume.
so is it one or the other?
!!senseless sensation!!
Some kind of weird problem here; everytime i make a call and want to hold my phone to my ear the following happens:
- My screen turns to black (normal behaviour)
- Simultaneously my ear speaker mutes for as long the screen is black
- My screen almost instantly turns on again, turning on my ear speaker too
- This continues to happen as long as i hold my phone to my ear, so my ear speaker goes on-off-on-off-on-off, i cannot make a conversation like this.
The strange thing is, when i remove the phone from my ear, preventing the proximity sensor to see my face and to black the screen, nothing happens and the ear speaker keeps on (so is the screen).
Any idea how this could be caused? When i opened my phone recently, i noticed that there is a ribbon cable damaged (the ear speaker one, i thought it was the (-) side, the (+) is still connected).
Could this be the reason of my ear speaker simultaneously muting when the screen is turning to black? I don't see the relation to those two things happening.
Thanks!
have the same problem with mine, anyone has any ideas?
Same here
I am having this same issue.
It started all of a sudden around June 28th. I submitted a bug report to google approximately two weeks ago and haven't heard anything back. Hopefully, the Jelly Bean update will fix this issue if it isn't corrected sooner.
For now, I just hold the phone horizontally with the screen facing upwards to prevent the screen from turning off and killing the audio.
Official Bug Report
Since I am still experiencing this issue I have posted the issue on Google's Android support. If you are also experiencing this problem please go here <code(dot)google(dot)com/p/android/issues/detail?id=36595>, leave a comment, and follow along as we hope to get this solved.
I could do with some help,
Basically, I replaced the screen, digitiser and case (was all one unit) today and since then my S3 has been nothing but trouble. The problems im getting are: volume buttons dont work, no sound, cant answer calls, cant use the mic, cant use the camera, wifi stalls, phone vibrates every 10 seconds, restarts alot, cant listen to music. I can however make and receive a few texts and can navigate round the phone without a problem.
Anyone have any idea what has caused this?
All help will be appreciated
jamie
ps, all hardware is in good nic and hasnt been damaged
Hello,
I have a issue that is bothering me since my past phone, however I haven't been able to find a solution on the web, so I finally decided it was time to ask the experts on XDA.
When I'm on a call on my nexus 5 using the loudspeaker (while driving or while using my PC at work), the screen locks after a period of time (which I guess it is the time I have set up on the display settings) after that I can't unlock the screen without clicking the power button, however I have my phone set up to end the call when I press the power button during a call, so every time the screen is locked during a call I have to end that call and redial, this is quite frustrating during calls to automated systems (when you have to input the options you are looking for) or while on a call with a coworker and suddenly you have the need to get another person into a conference call.
I know that if I use the phone on the ear (not on speaker mode). It works flawlessly as the sensor turn on or off the screen, but while on speaker it does not work that way.
Is there something wrong with android in general or with the nexus 5 only? Or it is there a setup I'm missing?
I know an option it to disable the power button ends call option, but this is a "smart" phone it should have to be smart enough not distinguish between ending the call and unlocking the screen during a call.
Isn't there an app for that? Or a workaround?
I know we can survive without these fickle requests but hey It will be a nice feature to have on either the phone or the OS
Thanks
Never heard of this before.
I think it's something with the proximity sensor on the right side of the speaker above the screen. Well, I think you should disable the End call on power button option.
Normally, as soon as you move the phone from your face, the sensor detects the distance and starts the screen.

how can it tell if you want to end the call or try and turn the screen on? it might be a smart phone, but it doesnt know your intentions.
disable that option if you want to do what you're wanting to do.
Are you rooted ? If so use volume rocker wake
Nexus 5 xposed + gravitybox
Nope, not rooted yet, I purchased my Nexus 5 on the US playstore but I live in Mexico, so I might root it after warranty expires, The nexus 5 is quite expensive in Mexico, so if something happens to my phone after rooting I will be pretty much phone orphan for a while

Well I didn't meant it to guess what I want to do, I meant something like an "if" command line, for example ( I don't know jack about android coding)
If speaker = Off
and
Screen = on
or
Screen = off
Then
Power button = End call
If speaker = On
and
Screen = on
Then
Power button = End call
If speaker = On
and
Screen = off
Then
Power button = unlock screen
Something like that...
Hope this makes sense

Hi batmanforever69 (that's a cool nickname)
Yes the proximity sensor works, after I take the phone away from me it turns the screen on, but I left it away from me eventually the screen locks, I tried volume buttons, shaking the phone, tapping the screen on several places, and bring the phone to my ear then away again, but nothing worked... Only power button and of course it ends my call
I wonder... What about the LG G2... That phone has the knock on feature... That must work for this issue... I hope Google can integrate the knock on code on future android releases

Randomly, my phone started doing weird things when my headset is plugged in. It has never done this before. I have a feeling that this started when I Assigned Buttons that was meant for 3-buttoned headset on to mine with one button.
Every time I set it to control music playback, it randomly plays different music from my music app. And when I set it to control volume level, the volume goes crazy. But I tried headphones with no buttons at all and it doesn't do crazy things.
I have MIUI 11.0.5 and I've tried searching for this problem but I couldn't find a solution. Is there, like, a way to reset the settings for the assigned buttons?
Also, let me ask this, why doesn't my settings doesn't have options for one buttoned headset?

I had the same issue. Turned out it was the issue with the headphone buttons. I just claimed money for the headphones and got refunded in full. If your headphones have warranty, claim it. If not, then there is just one thing you can do, put feviquick on the heaphone button so it can't be pressed at all.
P.S: It might even make the headphones unusable. Proceed with caution.
