Hello,
i bought Idol 3 5.5 and it is very good phone for its price. I am satisfied with it but i have one problem. It happens every time after 2 or 3 days when restarted. When someone is calling me my screen stays off all the time while ringing. When i press lock button screen turns on but it says dissmis or answer and nothing happens when i press on of those two buttons. It keeps on ringing and only after call is eneded i can call again or see who called. I already did factory reset but nothing changed. After i restart my phone it is ok for 2 or 3 days than this problem starts. Did any of you had this issue and did you solved it? Otherwise this phone is completely ok, no other problems whatsoever.
Check that proximity sensor is not bloqued by a sticker or dirt.... You may want to ask for a replacement phone

Hi guys,
When I get a message the phone vibrates 3 times, like normal. But sometimes randomly it vibrates 1 time and then unlimited vibration. Until I get it out of my pocket and press the powerbutton so the screen goes on again. When the screen is on again the phone resumes the 2 vibrates. Very strange. I had it on multiple roms with different radio's. I don't use TF3D but HTC Home Plugin VGA edition.
I've experienced the same issue you speak of with the stock ROM, and I haven't found a solution or cause yet either.
I think it was this what caused my phone to sometimes go out. Because the vibration consumed all the power.
Do you use Touch Flo?

That would be the angry bee. It is something that just happens. I've had it so bad that I have had to soft reset the phone. It only happens to me every great once in a while. However, I haven't run the stock rom since about 2 hours after buying the phone.
has happened to me twice now.
ive had the phone about 2 months.

I've had it happen to me a few times and had to soft reset it to make it stop. It doesn't happen too often, so I haven't been too worried about it.
I've had it happen when I launch an application just as it is starting to vibrate to signal a notification.
Do you guys also always have it as the second vibration? When it hangs it always is the second vibration at me. And when I press the screen again he makes 2 after it again.
I had a similar issue with the initial stock rom - my wife messaged me in the middle of a meeting and my phone would not STOP VIBRATING. Since it was on the desk, it buzzbuzzbuzzed really loud.
Now I'm on the Energy 3.0 rom and have not had an issue. Even with the updated leaked stock rom I didn't have the issue.
I discover that it only vibrates wrongly when I have the screen off. Pretty annoying though.
Don't we use some kind of stuff in common?
I use:
HTC Home VGA Edition for front end instead of manilla
HomeScreen++ for the handy shortcuts
I checked some things again, I am not 100% sure but I think it was HomeScreen++ that caused the problems here. The exact settings: at the Tools tab "Lock if Display is Off and vice versa, which didn't work anyway at the touch pro (did work on htc's I had before though), but I checked it off and now it still rings 3 times and no less or more. Hope this was it.
I do not use HomeScreen++ and it happens to me at least once a day, sometimes twice. Mine always seems to happen on the third vibrate, it will do the first two and then the third one just stays on. I press the power button for the screen to come back on and it stops.
I have it too sometimes.
EnergyRom 3.0
And you guys have something that auto lock the screen when you press the power off button? Or do you lock the screen before pressing the power button? Because here it seems to have something to do with the locking in combination of the standby mode (screen off)
The problem is like this:
SOMETIMES when I call someone, the screen turns off without approaching the phone to my ear. The screen is not turning off by pressing the power button or the volume buttons (I enabled using GravityBox to turn on the screen using the volume keys).
After I end up the call, after a couple of seconds, the phone comes back to normal.
Once again, this behavior appears just SOMETIMES! Usually I don't have this problem!
Any ideas to how so solve this problem?

I wouldn't worry too much about it, its just a glitch, it happens to me sometimes too , when i put it on speaker and i get close to the phone , the screen turns off and it comes back after a while. it doesn't bother me too much. It might be that the sensor is too sensitive. Have you tried a custom rom ?
This issue happens to my son's phone too.
Anyway, it shouldn't be random, please double check if it happens ALWAYS after a phone reboot, this is the behaviour of mine
I want the moderator to ban me.
display issue
Hello,
I have started to face the same issue mentioned above.
On googling I came across the motorola forum (google search: Moto G Proximity Sensor Software Issue)
It seems the issue is being discussed there and apparently they need more moto g users with this issue to help them out solve this.
On using z device i noticed the proximity sensor value stuck at 3 with no change covered/not covered (sensor) [Phone running without restart for 6+ hours]
After restarting the phone the sensor value in z device changes. 100 (uncovered) to 3 when covered.
I will keep checking this every few hours to see when does the proximity sensor stop working without restarting the phone. (uptime)
Can the DEV's here help us out? looks like Motorola may take some time in finding a solution to this issue.
This seems to have went away with 4.4.3 and the new Dialer app.
The screen of my OPO went blank, but I believe the phone is still working as it gets notifications, the torch comes on with the "V" from the standby screen, phone wakes from a double tap and the phone rings when called from another phone. But the screen is completely blank, so I cannot reset it because I do not know where to touch the screen.
I have entered a repair ticket with OPO support but they are advertising a wait of at least ten days before any response and I have tried, but cannot hold my breath quite that long. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Same problem over here, have been using phone for few months without any problems, very carefull with my phone, no drops, moist or whatever, but suddenly this strange blank screen starts to occu. Backlight buttons come on and vibrate but screen stays blank.
I can however reboot my phone by holding the power button until it vibrates, phone will work ok ..... until it happens again.
Try clean flashing whatever ROM you're on and go from there
I think it's referred to as "SOD" which stands for "screen of death" maybe? Or darkness? Lol I dunno search for sod

look at my post one the oneplus forum, i'm pretty sure this must be some sort of a software issue
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/bug-screen-not-turning-on.78141/page-4
When I make or receive a phone call on my new Nexus the screen blacks out. I understand that it should black out when the phone is brought up to my ear, but it blacks out even though the phone is eighteen inches away from me. There is nothing on top of the proximity sensor and it is clean. The phone is not in a case. The sleep timer in set to two minutes. The cache partition has been cleared.
I think this happened after upgrading from Android 5 to 5.1, but I cannot be certain.
The AndroSensor app always reports that the proximity sensor detects something at 0.0 inches (with 12.7 mA), even though the sensor is uncovered.
I have seen several threads in various forums on this issue with the Nexus 5, but I have not seen a definitive answer as to what is wrong and what can be done about it.
Help would be very much appreciated as I need to know if it is a software bug that will be fixed as part of routine updates, if it is a user fixable problem (operator error!), or if the sensor is actually dead, in which case I can exchange the phone (Amazon uk).

Thanks for this, but if the power button it set to end the call it does indeed turn the screen on again, but of course also ends the call prematurely. If the power button is not set to end the call, then nothing happens when it is pressed during a call and the screen stays black. The only way out of the black screen under those circumstances is to hold the power button down to turn the phone off and then restart it!
Prior to the upgrade 5.1, from the version of 5 that came with the phone, when I made or received a call the screen remained active until I put the phone to my ear.
Further advice would be much appreciated.

if i make or answer a phone call, and put it on speaker, after a few secs it will turn the screen off automatically. If i then press the pwer button (i don't have the accessibility option on), it WILL wake the screen but doesn't end the call.
running stock LMY47D

Thanks for this, but the problem was that the screen blacked instantly on making or receiving a call and was unresponsive, so the only way forward was to press the power button. This either terminated the call or shut down the phone, according to how it was set, so neither was useful.
As I said originally, I suspected the proximity sensor was faulty as the a proximity detector sensor app always indicated that there was something close to it. Hence the phone would assume it was next to my ear when making or receiving calls, and so black the screen. This morning, for reasons that I don't understand at all as I have not changed anything on the phone, the proximity sensor is reported as working and the phone behaves as it should on making and receiving calls!
I suppose that either the sensor has an intermittent fault, or something in the phone's software has changed to permit it to work. I have a couple of week's left before the Amazon return window expires, so I will monitor the situation.
Thanks once more for the help.

I have the identical problem with my nexus 5 running stock kitkat. Makes it very hard to use the keyboard to reply to automated requests to "if... press 1, if.... press 2".
Is it possible to turn the proximity sensor off? I don't need it and it just causes problems for me.
Hi everyone!
I have a situation here. I have this old A106, i am using as a secondary phone. Upgraded it to lollipop 15-20 days back and since then something or the other is happening with the phone.
First was the proximity sensor, the screen would shut off right after i dial a number and wont come up unless i press the power button. The proximity sensor is not functioning at all i guess.
Secondly, since this morning, I am unable to receive any calls on my phone. The phone rings, I swipe it to the right but nothing happens and the icon comes back to the middle, and within a few seconds the call gets disconnected.
Tried factory reset/data wipe from recovery but it didnt fix the issue. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks, Have a good day!
