I connected my S6 via Bluetooth to my truck today (using Ford SYNC) and when I make a call the screen turns on and stays on. I can turn it off by hitting the power button, but this is very annoying, especially if the phone is in my pocket. I am coming from an LG G3 and this never happened. I searched for an answer and found some that would work with KitKat, but not Lollipop. I can't find any place on this phone related to Bluetooth calls and the screen.
Thanks,
Ed

an issue;
under wm5 my wizard automatically connected with my headset when it was in the neighborhood. since i use the roms with wm6 it's no longer automatic and must turn off and on the headset for a connection....
is there a solution.....
I have noticed this problem, too, with WM6. Couple things I have found that work are:
Turning on the bluetooth on your phone, before you turn the headset on. My Jawbone Aliph will only connect automatically if the bluetooth on the phone is already turned on, before I turn it on.
Double pressing or holding down a button on your headset. With my BlueAnt Car Kit, if I double press the the answer button, it automatically connects to my phone, which is way easier then having to go on my phone and turn on the headset from the bluetooth settings. Just try variations of double pressing or pressing and holding to see if that creates an automatic connection.
Hope that helps!

thanks for the effort to help, unfortunaly the work around you wrote are things i also used in the past but isn't it possible to fix this?
Hey fellas..
Whenever I sync any bluetooth device to my phone, it periodically turns on my display on my Samsung Omnia (it turns off normally on its own). As soon as I turn off the bluetooth device or disconnect with it, then my display stays off. My bluetooth stays enabled during all this testing FYI.
Has anybody ran into this issue before?
Thanks in advance
why would that be an issue?

I have my bluetooth headset on and my screen keeps turning on every few minutes. Its any bluetooth device being linked to my phone.
Bumping my question back to Page 1.
you mean... it lights up every now and again while a bluetooth device is connected? or only while connecting to the device?
With my bluetooth headset connected the screen turns on every few minutes and it appears that the time inbetween the screen turning on is identical. I think the headset is just checking with the phone to keep connected, which turns the screen on.
When I synced via bluetooth to my desktop, the screen turns on whenever I do anything over bluetooth between the computer and the phone.
Is there any registery settings that I might try to prevent bluetooth from turning my screen on? ever?
Same thing here mate. Only my Touch Pro turns on the display (and keeps it on no matter what) whenever some BT accesory is connected, whether it be the carkit or the headphones. Pressing the power button causes the screen to turn off only to turn on by itself a second later. When BT accessory is disconnected everything works normal. Oh and I have bluetooth on all the time on the phone (never turn it off), but it only does this with smth connected. I suppose it's some kind of keepalive, but it annoys the hell outta me cause I can't listen to music w/o draining my battery and even starting some programs by accidental screen presses. So if anyone has a solution to keep the screen off it'd be more than welcome.
Hi,
I'm having the following problem with my HTC TP2
When I get into my car, my Sim is connected to the car through rsap.
All this works fine. But when I leave my car. The phone doesn't reconnect the Sim. Unless I push the power button of the phone right before I leave the car.
I did some testing myself and this is what I think is happening.
After a while of inactivity, the phone gets into standby mode.
(one of the energy options)
And apparently when it is in standby, The phone doesn't receive the "signal" coming from my car ,when I turn the engine off, that says: "Hey, I'm sending the Sim back to you Mr Phone, you can reconnect it now."
As you can imagine this is quite annoying because, every time I leave my car, I need to push the power button on the phone so it can receive this "reconnect-signal"
Also, turning the automatic standby off isn't a real option because of the power consumption.
So what I think I need (unless you guys have some better ideas.) is a program that turns my screen off after x time of inactivity.
(not only the backlight but the entire screen)
I don't know if anyone has experienced the same problem or can give me a solution.
Thx,

Hey, since installing lollipop on my N5 when I have my phone on silent and receive a call the screen will not turn on. It does vibrate, however I would also like my display to turn on without having to use the power button. I have looked through the notification setting however I can't find a setting to allow the above to happen. Can anyone advice what I'm doing wrong??
Hi. I've had this annoying issue as long as I've owned by 2S. I usually use the phone on speaker phone. On both incoming and outgoing calls in probably 50% of the calls I make, after around 1 minute, the caller can no longer hear me and I can no longer hear them. I have figured out if I press the 'hold' icon to turn hold on then off again, audio works again but at the time the call goes silent, 'hold' is definitely showing as off. Really can't figure out what is going on. Anyone else had this or know of a remedy? Thanks if you can help me out.
Most probably you pressed the hold button with your cheek while talking. I am not joking. The proximity sensor is... peculiar on this phone. Eventually the screen turns on during the conversation even if the phone is close to the ear.
Make a test: just after answering the incoming call (green button), switch off the screen with the power button. Unless you receive a notification, the screen will not turn on.
Hi guildamx. Thanks a lot for your input. I had read about the strange proximity sensor issue but don't think this is directly the cause in my case. Most of the time at home, I use the phone on speaker (placed on desk in front of me with no proximity sensor being activated) and am sure that the screen is never touched during the call as it is hands-free on my desk. I have done some more experimenting this morning and on multiple tests, the audio works fine when the screen in on (at the start of a call) but after screen timeout (I have mine set to 1 minute), the audio in and out is blocked. Switching the screen back on doesn't rectify, only putting on hold then off hold. Oddly, if I use the phone without speakerphone (held to ear), the proximity sensor kicks in and turns off the screen as expected, the blocked audio issue doesn't occur. It only occurs when the screen times out the screen. Very strange.
Apparently when the phone goes into deep sleep the audio is somehow killed. Very strange and never happened to me.
I would suggest testing a different rom. Definitely it seems software related.
Sorry for not being able to provide further help.
