I don't use a lock-screen, so sometimes I get a call, and the screen turns on in my pocket, but I may not hear it, and all mayhem happens as the touchscreen is constantly in contact with my pants. Is there a setting to keep the screen off even if there is an incoming call.

When I'm on a call, my screen goes blank after a certain amount of time and I can't revive it. The call continues just fine and when the other caller ends the call, my screen lights again. I'm not talking about the blank screen due to proximity - I get that too, but if I pull the phone away from my head, the screen lights. I'm talking about going blank after a timeout, probably associated with the 30 second Sleep timeout setting. But it shouldn't sleep when I'm on a call, because I have no access to any of the controls when I'm on the call.
Is this a bug on my phone or general behavior on this phone or on Android?
Whenever I receive a call, the screen does not turn on unless I hit the power button to mute the call, eventually it turns on. Even when using the phone, a call would show the heads-up notification and it seems like the entire phone lags. Hitting the answer button takes at least 1 second for the call the to be receieved and even longer for the screen to switch to the calling screen. I am on CM12.1 0904 with ak303 and a custom profile for the kernel.
I can't pinpoint when started happening, but my screen turns off at the wrong times. When dialing a number and pressing call, the screen automatically turn off before I hold the phone to my face, and when I listen to an audio message in WhatsApp, the screen also turn off too.
I can't find anything in the menu to resolve this issue. Any ideas?
Try rebooting. That solves it for me
I have this problem every now and then where when i end a call that has speakerphone on, and then make another call the speakerphone icon stays selected. When that happens the speakerphone doesn't work anymore and the phone screen stays on the whole time I'm talking causing button presses from my face touching the screen. Then i have to restart the phone to fix it. anyone else with this glitch? I'm on a Verizon GS7 btw if that makes any difference.
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.
