Probably my proximity sensor got broken after phone back from warranty, btw during call the screen stays on and i continue tap with ears or cheeks the display and press accidentaly buttons (mine is a g3, so i tap the mute button on the flash toggle everytime).
Any app can block the screen only during call preventing my unwanted taps?
thanks
Call blocking is a feature which is provided by phone itself. You can try doing it by
Open the App drawer, and go to Settings. In the Settings screen, scroll down to the Blocking mode option, and tap the slider to turn on this mode. Tap on the text to access the options inside this mode. Inside Blockingmode, you will find options to disable incoming calls, notifications, alarms and timers.

i'm coming from a nexus one and g2, so i'm used to having these three mode easily accessible.
at home, i leave it on the "ring mode" (no vibrate). at work, i put it in "silent mode" (no sound, no vibrate) and leave it on my desk. whenever i get up or whenever i leave, i toggle it to "vibrate mode" (no sound).
for the nexus s, it seems like silent and vibrate modes were basically merged. i would have to go to Settings > Sound > Vibrate, every time i want to switch from "silent mode" and "vibrate mode". i used to just press the volume rocker down to do that.
any suggestions?
the lock screen is the fastest
or just use volume up and down
volume up down can help me toggle between ring / vibrate OR ring / silent, depending on my vibrate settings.
with my nexus one and g2, i was able to toggle between ring > silent > vibrate, in that order.
Beautiful widgets has “vibrate” and “silent” toggle.
on cyanogen, the enhanced power widget, you have one click which toggles from ring, vibrate, silent. so one tap to switch between each of those. and it sits on your homescreen.
thanks for the suggestions. downloaded the silent toggle widget and it does what i need.
This needs 2 taps, but you get the wanted mode immediately:
Simply open the app and select a mode; the selected mode takes effect immediately.

is it possible to disable the vibration when unlocking the phone and 4 main buttons?
but keep vibrate during incoming call
Disable the "Haptic Feedback" in settings (can't remember exactly where it is now)
NO, it is not work.
the lockscreen and 4main buttons at the bottom of the screen still get haptic feedback
I have enabled the feature Settings > Motion & Gestures > Mute.
"to mute incoming calls and alarms, place hand on screen or turn the phone over".
This doesn't seem to work for SMS notification sounds.
I use a fairly long, loud notification since I work in a loud machine shop, but when I'm in a quiet area sometimes I need to cut off the notification sound mid-stream.
I've tried the gestures to cover screen with hand touching, flipped the phone over, pressed home button, pressed volume down button.
Nothing stops the notification sound and it plays in it's entirety.
Is there a way to stop the notification sound that is currently playing for an incoming SMS or Gmail message?
when you receive a call you’ll be able to hit the Home button to accept the call and tap the Power button to end it. you have to manually enabled this function here is how
Head into Settings.
Select Accessibility.
Tap on Answering and Ending Calls.
Slide all of the toggles from Off to On.
Hello everyone.
When someone calls me, my screen doesn't turn on. I hear the ringing, and led flashes, but I have to press the power button to turn screen on and see who calls, and swipe to answer.
In notification settings, it says that pphone notifications are off. When i tap to open settings, there are no options, nor sliders to change..
Found the solution!
Whilst you are on a call, go to your home screen but do not end the call. Pull down the notifications from the top of the screen.
There should be the notification bar for the ongoing call. Hold down on this bar but do not return to the call. An options box should appear. Check the option that says "do not silence". You can now end the call and the problem should be solved.
(wow) thanks it worked. I had the issue for months.
