Keyboard and screen locking issues...

I have problem with my keylocking.
I put keylock after 30sec of inactivity.
Phone does lock it but when i put phone in my pocket and after puting in out there are number of programs called and
sometimes even accidently sends sms to some number.
i cant figure out if these buttons do that or side buttons or i just somehow press the touchscreen...
I know this will sound odd, but change your brightness to something a little higher, I have noticed that if my Treo is set to a lower brightness that it will either wakeup on it's own, or not shut off correctly.
This is a know bug indeed. You have to turn brightness to at least 40% to prevent the device from turning on on it's own.

Screen goes crazy during call?

Got a new tp2 from sprint. whenever i make a call it flips to home screen then off then back over and over. Also when I call voicemail, the keypad never comes up until i press keypad and while i am listening it goes back to home screen then turns off. whats going on? dam its annoying!
I'm having a similar issue. When ever I remove the phone from my ear while I'm still on a call it goes to the home screen. Very annoying. It will work as it's suppose to some of the time but I'd say 95% of the time I have this issue. Hopefully someone comes out with a fix for this.
Me too (I'm on TMobile). Also, at the end of the call when it asks if you want to add to contacts, it flips back to home if you don't respond fast enough. But the worst is when I'm dialing in for voice mail and need the touchpad; it flips to home and I have to hit the bottom left hard button to get back to the phone.
I assume it's something to do with the way it turns off the touch screen based on the proximity sensor when it's up by your ear, then turns it back on again as you move away from your ear, so no doubt there's a setting somewhere to adjust that.
same here... during a call the screen goes on and off several times. may be light sensor.... who knows
anything that prompts you to make choices by picking numbers becomes a pain unless you use speakerphone. really hoping for a fix
I have no clue if this will last but I changed the setting to lock the phone if it's unused from 30min to 1hr and that seemed to work for now. Changed it back to 30min to double check, it happened first try during the call but worked properly after.
the way its supposed to work is, when you put the phone to your ear the screen goes out when you pull it away it will come on to the call status screen(not the keypad, unless you push keypad then it should stay on keypad,but if you put it to your ear it will go off, when you pull it away it will come back on to the keypad.)this feature is so you do not push buttons with your face.
Same issue...
Orginally seemed to keep on the call status screnn, but now moves to the home screnn when pulled from head.
Any fix would be apprecaited...

Turn off screen while in call

I tried searching but didn't get an answer.
Anyways I'm using TESS 3.7 and whenever I have a phone call, I always touch the screen with my face by accident and activate whatever my face touches

[solved] screen is dead, how to reboot?

hi all,
my butterfly's screen just turned black. the phone is still functional because i'm receiving calls, making calls (my lock screen has a shortcut to a contact), receiving notification sounds, and i WAS able to feel the vibration feedback of unlocking my phone.
so basically the screen just lights up black, any ideas on how to reset it?
I tried to guesstimate on the screen where the reset option is, but i can't seem to get the right area after trying like 10 times...
i'm thinking, while i wait for htc to reply, to just let the battery run out?

BT answering screen on in pocket

I have the S8+ & almost always have on both my Huawei watch & a BT headset around my neck. I never take my phone out of my pocket to answer calls. The problem is, the phone keeps the screen on with the phone app in my pocket running after I answer a call. This causes button presses leading to hanging up, mute, changing settings, etc... I have the "Keep screen turned off" option on & set pin or fingerprint to unlock the device.
What am I missing?!? It's driving me crazy! Even tried to have tasker turn off the screen but that locks it to where you can't unlock with just a fingerprint. Why is it even turning on the screen at all in my pocket?
