Samsung A5 2016 problem - General Questions and Answers

I have a weird problem with my phone. When I answering a call or making a call sometimes in the middle of conversation it goes on Hold. Sometimes it's mute the microphone. When I look at the screen it had slide down the menu. Actually the screen is off when I am making calls.
I have tested like making a call and put my finger on the sensor. The sensor works fine. It's shuts down the screen and on again when I lift my finger.
I also had made a factory default. And also a hard reset. Nothing works.
Should I just send the devuce to Samsung or do you guys have a another idea ?

Get the phone out of the case + Answering a call = Impossible?

Does this happen to any one or is it just me?
I have an ordinary case for my Touch Pro. Almost 10 out of 10 times when the phone rings and I reach out to my phone, try to take it out - boom - the call becomes a missed call. I guess what is happening here is that once the phone rings, the screen is active and either your finger accidentally touches the volume key or any other key or even the screen, it makes it a missed call. It is very annoying and how to avoid this????
Thanks

there is a key disabler cab look for it
There are many options how to disable the touchscreen.
There was a topic not long ago about this.
Answerkey Disabler
PocketShield (I currently use this one)
TouchProLock
Sensorlock
Throttlelock
S2U2 (not recommended for TP, drains the battery for unknown reason)
All these deal with locking the TP.
Sorry for not posting links but I don't have much time. All of them are available on XDA though.
You do have the option of extending the time it takes for a call to go to voice mail, it can be extended up to 30 seconds. The option is under settings > phone > Services > Call Forwarding
There is also a lot of lag on between the time the caller's phone is ringing and you get a ring on the Fuze
I guess this is not because of the keys. Just keep the phone in front of you and try to call your phone and see your self, first you will see the incoming call indicator light, and after some time you will start hearing the ring tone. Now by the time you take the phone from the case - it's a miss call. I tried to search all over XDA but didn't find a way to start ringing immediately when call comes, I read some where that this is due to the dialer skin and by using default WM dialer this can be fixed. I didn't try this.

I think he was talking about the touchscreen being active on incoming calls.
If however the problem is in the delay, then the dialer skin is the key.
You have to change it to the WM default (it does work, the lag is almost gone) and have the ringtone in WAV format (not tested, I didn't bother to put any wavs).
if you get rid of the dialer and switch to WM
you will lose functionality including the symbol to show bluetooth being on or off
I downloaded and installed disableanswerkeys and it works fine. It took a while for me to understand the cryptic question it asks in the beginning - i get stumped if there are two negatives in a sentence So It is on and i tried and it works ok. I also downloaded sensorlock and throttlelock. Yet to try these ... will post my comments.
the lag in answering the call - i believe there is a separate thread about that, right?
Thanks for the help

some apps request...

I posted on the X10 app forum but since there was no reply i repeat it here....
1) I'd like to replace the calling screen on the X10... Anybody knows any program to do that? more usable to get the call and hang it up...
2) Is there any program to beep every 5 minutes (or similar) if you have any unread sms?
Thanks

got it! thanks
any body knows anything about the calling screen? sometimes I even hang up the call with my ear it's ****ing horrible...
The proximity sensor takes care of that most of time, just turn off the screen or don't hold the phone against your face with the sensor exposed.

[Q] How to turn off phone's screen during or after a call??

Hi mates!!!
It's nearly a year that I have this wonderful watch!! I'll always thank my girlfriend for this awsome gift
HOwever, I have a doubt, so I hope someone can suggest me a solution...
I have a s4, and on sw2 I use offical app for calling. The problem is when I receive a phone call after checking the caller on the sw2 and taking the call with the headphones, once the call is finished the screen of my phone remains unlocked for a while and sometimes I interact with the screen in my pocket without knowing it. The same thing happens if I call somebody, because I've activated the loud speaker sometimes during a call inside my pocket...
Do you know any trick, ap, module or setting to lock the screen during and after a call??
Thanks a lot people!!
Hi people! I finally found two useful apps which do exactly what I was looking for! [emoji4]
This one locks the screen during a phone call https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duckbonecallguard
And this one locks and turns off the screen after a phone call [emoji6] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hozik.PhoneScreenLock
I've tried them both and work fine [emoji6]
No more accidental calls, opened apps or whatever [emoji106]
If you know more apps like these please feel free to share them [emoji4]

[Q] Calls answering or rejecting accidentally while in pocket.

When ever i receive a call its get automatically answered Or rejected.its really annoying. This also happens when i hold the phone in myhand and someone calls it gets answered or rejected. Is there any app to turn off screen by sensing its in pocket or to avoid to accidental pocket touch. Before galaxy s6 i used xiaomi redmi1s and it will only turn on the screen when we have taken out the phone from the pocket While receiving a call.

Sounds like quite a flaw. Screen should be disabled by proximity really.
Any specific app for this problem???
Hello, no app needed, just go to Settings, Accessibility, and disable Single tap mode. Had the same problem on my S6 Edge+, it's now solved.

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.
