Hi, I searched the forum but had no luck:
Completely new Nexus 5, White 16GB, and I have this issue:
When i receive and miss a call, as soon as the ringer stops the phone automatically shows the unlocked homescreen and it just stays there, instead of locking itself normally. This is really weird, and happens even if the phone is in my pocket (so it's not sensor-related like whatsapp pop-ups for example). Also not really safe i'd say. If I select another lockscreen method, it behaves normally (showing, for example, unlock pattern for a certain amount of time before turning the monitor off again.)
Anyone experiencing the same issue?
http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/1q04f7/nexus_5_unlocks_itself_after_a_missed_call/
This is the only other reporting I found on the web. Can anyone test this? It's really fast and easy, and I think this could be a pretty serious issue.
My phone (pin locked) doesn't do that. Phone stays locked. Is your phone kept unlocked?

Yes. I don't really like the pin/passcode unlock (also don't really need it). Classic slide is simple and fast enough, but it's crazy that it stays unlocked after a missed call.
Also, I noticed that it automatically enters the last application that was open the last time you locked it, creating even more concerns (last online on messaging applications, online status in facebook, ecc.)
Just imagine you boss calling you, with no luck, and founding out a second later you're online in Facebook. Just because you were ignoring your phone, while driving for example.

I agree - that should not be the expected behavior
nexus5 32gb here, exactly the same behavior.. I had to enable a pin/password unlock method because every missed call would unlock my phone, even in my pocket..
I have the same issue.
Maybe it is because of the app Light Flow Lite ?

I thought this as well, but then I tried it on my friends N5 and had the same behavior, without light flow. I think many of us actually discovered this trying notifications in Light Flow (i bought the pro version) but it's not related to that.

Me too, but I hate it because I can't swipe down from the top to quickly see my notification without unlocking the device first.
Let me know if you guys have any advice on this issue, also report it in this thread to keep it bumped and see if anyone is reporting any solution.

exactly this, it was so useful to just throw a glance to the notifications to decide if open them or simply clean them away
Yes same here, this looks to be a bug surely?

Nice one, I have posted in that discussion as well. Hopefully we will get a response.
Others have the same problem, do you know how to report a problem to google ?
I just tried it on my phone, called from my desk number, missed call. It did open the phone all the way, but the screen turned back off in 5 seconds, per my settings.
My phones is currently stock, have not rooted or unlocked the bootloader yet. Only UI modification apps are Widgetzoid and Dashclock, I wanted to stay stock for a bit.
Sorry, that you are having issues. Unfortunately sometimes the easiest way to figure out what is causing the problems is to do a factory reset, and re-dowload your apps one by one, to see what is causing the problem.
Ok, but a several people have the same issue ...
Anyway, I think I will tri not to miss a call whenever the phone is in my pocket !

I don't like setting the screen timeout so short, many thimes i just place the phone on my desk while messaging and I want the screen to stay on, for at least 2 minutes.
And when I lock my phone to keep it in my pocket, it's supposed to stay locked and ignore any unintended touches as soon as i slide to unlock, which was originally introduced to prevent an unlock by accident. Yes, I could lower my screen timeout to 5 seconds, but that does not solve the problem because still unintended touches can occur in that time frame.

I wasn't sing o set your screen lock time to what I have it set at, I was just saying that it did re-lock. However, you are right, IMO it should not completely unlock the screen when the phone is ringing.
Though I have never not had a passcode on my phone, so not sure if that is how it always behaves. Was just trying to test and be helpful.
I sent a message to the google team, let's wait and see.
here is a link to see the bug :"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSTq8Xhe6Kc&"

Thanks for testing, I was wondering if this could have been related to root / unlocked bootloader somehow but you have confirmed this is not the case as it happens on a totally stock phone.
good catch there. same issue here.
at least a Google employee has responded to the topic created HERE. Maybe that will expedite then pushing out an update ASAP.
I'm looking for a way to increase the automatic screen lock time for the Tab 2 (sch-i705). Does anyone know where I can find this setting in the system.img?
I'm happy with the display turning off automatically after a minute or so, but I want the device to lock after ~15 minutes after the display turns off.
Couldn't find anyone adjusting this setting on any ROM in my searches.

Hi, thanks for the advice. I'm not looking to change the display timeout settings - I would like to keep that short. I'm hoping to increase the lockscreen time. For example, I want the screen to go off after 1 minute, but the device to lock 15 minutes after the display goes off.
I'm assuming since this isn't a standard system setting, it might be adjustable in the ROM/system.img. Anyone know where I could find something like this?

Still trying to figure this out - any ideas on how I could do this in the system.img? Thanks for the help.

no buddy no
you will be flamed for this as questions related threads are only posted here and not in dev forum
I'm wondering if there are any apps that could simulate what I'm trying to achieve. An app that keeps the tab unlocked, but allows the screen to turn off, would be perfect (as long as it also wasn't somehow sucking up resources or something).
Anyone have any other ideas? Or, better yet, know where I can modify this setting in the ROM?
Maybe moving this thread to the general QA would be a better idea, since this setting probably is particular to Android, not to the Galaxy Tab 2.. Any mods want to do that? Thanks

No need apps. Just go to setting > security > screen lock, select NONE.
Control how long display will turn off in setting > display.
Also, your question above, increase the lockscreen time, is in the same place, screen lock setting. search automatically lock.
Hope it helps

The issue here is that I would still like the device to be locked. I just want it to take longer to lock - ie 15 minutes to lock, but only 1 minute for the screen to turn off. Anyone know if there is a way to modify this at the ROM level?

Yes buddy, if i don't correctly understand what are you saying, there is an option for that in the settings. Just explore the settings once again, i have a different devices, maybe it's in different places.
and yes, if you want "automatically screen lock" setting comes up, you must in pattern/password/pin lock setting, not in slide or none.

The only option I have is to set 'screen timeout' . In order to conserve battery, I'd like the display to shut off after a minute or so.
Unfortunately, the amount of time it takes for the screen to lock, is tied to the display shut off - i.e. if the display shut off is set to a minute, the device will lock about 30 seconds after that, with no way to modify that time.
I am looking for a feature that I can apply to my Nexus 5. When you call someone and you put the phone up to your ear, the screen turns off but everything else continues on like normal. I would like to be able to toggle this option whenever I want. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Nevermind I found the app with a quick 10 minute search. Screen Standby # Root
I'm pretty sure it does this anyway!
Hi,
I got the Huawei watch 2 with latest software installed. However my watch stopped showing if I get a call, additionally if I start the call on the watch it's still calling with my phone, not the watch. I had this issue 4 days ago and fixed it by resetting the watch. Sadly the issue is back now and I really don't want to reset my watch every 4 days Anybody an idea how i can fix it?
Thanks in advance for any help

I have exactly the same problem. My solution is to disable and enable back the bluetooth on my phone (you can do it also on your watch) so that your watch will attempt to connect again. After re-establishing the bluetooth connection, it works fine for some time, but then the issue comes back. Did you find any better solution to it?
Me too. Really winding me up (watch pun unintended).
Toggling BT or restarting either phone or watch fixes it.,but only for a while.
I also can't choose to switch to the watch when on a call on my phone.
My idea is to run on the phone MacroDroid script that will disable BT and after 5 seconds enable the it back. And to let it run every 30 mins. But i would expect it to be fixed on the Huawei side...
The only way to fix this is to let huawei Wear OS team know they're messing up. But first need to know the correct contact for that team.

How would that work? I've installed MacroDroid and see that I can set a macro to disable BT every half and hour but to set a macro to turn BT back on after 5 seconds means you need to set it to work every 30 minutes and 5 seconds.
By my reckoning that 5 second gap will go out of sync meaning that the time with BT disabled will get longer...
Also, it will disconnect from other devices every 30 minutes which will do my head in when I'm listening to music! ?
I know it's not your problem dude and if I'm wrong or there's a simpler way to go about it than please let me know. It's very frustrating having a device that doesn't do what it's meant to ?

[update] I've answered my own question by looking at the MacroDroid app properly. There's an action to toggle Bluetooth at a chosen interval.

[(another)update] This doesn't work. All any of the attempts and permutations I've tried on MD do is turn off Bluetooth - it won't seem to toggle back on,even when I set that as a separate macro.
I give up
Calls on the watch sound crap anyway! ?
Hey all. I've been trying to use the new Quick Launch gesture (in advanced settings within the Wear app on my phone). I'd really like to use the gesture to quickly activate the flashlight when needed. Unfortunately the triggering Quick Launch with the "knock knock" gesture is hit or miss (mostly miss). Are any of you able to use this successfully and reliably? And, if so, do you have any suggestions or tips on how to consistently execute it? Thanks.
It says that you have to do it within 5 seconds of waking up the screen, maybe it's because of that? I can get it to work almost everytime

I swear I had been keeping that in mind every time and it just wasn't working consistently for me. Just turned it back on and tried again and now it seems to be working every time without fail. Thanks
It will only work right after you're screen turns on (within 5 seconds). It's useful if you need to launch something quick hands free. Best to use directly after your screen turns on from a lift to wake gesture.
It works from time to time for me. I have noticed it does not want to work especially when the battery is below 40%. I need to restart the watch and it starts working again. I also tried turning it off and then on again to see if this helps, but it did not.
