Does anyone have a problem where when u get a phone call or when u turn phone on sometimes I can't answer the call or I can't unlock the screen, no buttons work the only thing I can do is hit the power key on top, I usually have to do a battery pull and then it will work for a bit then freeze up again??? Any suggestions??

Hi all
When using speaker phone the screen while the turn off, this is fine. However it won't turn back on again the only way to get it to come back on is pressing the power button. This of course hangs up.
Thanxs

You might try:
menu/settings/Accessibility
And uncheck Power button ends call
Thank just got round to testing that fixed it.

I am sooooooo tired of this.
When I had 2.2 I had no issue, but, ever since I upgraded to Gingerbread (2.3) the screen will just turn on out of no where while I am on the phone and a lot of times my cheek will turn off the call or sometimes mute the call. It is so darn annoying.
Is there anything that can be done to fix this issue? I am sure I can't be alone with this.
Odin back to 2.2 and confirm that it is software and not your sensor that has gone bad.

My wife and I have the same phones and she compains of this too. I never have an issue with this on my phone. But, she can use my phone and have this problem. She also said she never had this problem on froyo, only after the gingerbread update.
I've tried installing several proximity sensor apps that are supposed to lock the phone when you put the phone to your ear. But not had the luck witht them that I was hoping for. The phone will lock, but the dialer stays on top of the lock screen. You are only taken to the lock screen after you hang up and the dialer goes away. Please let me know if someone has a solution like this that works!
I think the difference is how she holds the phone to here head. I've noticed her ear doesnt complete cover the proximity sensor all the way. She also likes to hold the entire phone screen tight to her cheek. I've tried to encourage her to hold the phone a little different, but she would rather that it just work for her. She also wants me to restore her phone back to froyo. I hate the idea of that.

Yes, that's a good suggestion, but that wont always keep the screen off. I agree that it *should*.
To test, I call my voicemail.
Putting my finger over the proximity sensor will cause the screen to turn off. Now, lightly pressing the camera button to its half way point caused the screen to turn on. Pressing the volume buttons also turns the screen on. So, overly gripping the phone will turn on the screen.
Next test, turn off the screen with the power button. First call to VM, turn off screen with power button, screen stays off while I try to press volume button, but turns on with half press of camera button.
Seconds call, turn off screen with power button, screen turns on when pressing volume or camera button.
I continued making a few more test calls with these same mixed results. Finger over the proximity sensor always turns the screen off if it was on previously. I just can't get the screen to stay off during a call for my wife. I've tried to convince her she just needs to use a BT headset or wired one for long phone calls. She doesnt care for the solution. LOL.

I should also mention I'm on CleanGB 1.1.2 EL30 modem. This problem happened for her when she was on Sprint's stock GB rom too.

I find that the proximity sensor doesn't work well through hair. if i get a little hair in front of the sensor it would turn on and my cheek would hit end.
My proximity sensor stopped working on CM9, but works just fine on a TW rom (CleanGB). It's not a hardware issue that I assumed previously. Ditto autorotation...
Its not your phone or apps, its Gingerbread for the epic. It has done this since day one for me and others. It particularly happens when you get a text message while on a call. The only thing you can do is if you see it light up, just pull away from your face and then back to it and it will go back off.
I upgraded both our phones to Cyanogenmod 9 beta 1 and she hasn't complained about the proximity sensor problem yet. I think it's almost been 2 weeks. Otherwise, she was about to throw her phone out a window because she was so frustrated.
I've noticed the sensor is setup so there is some delay when turning the screen on and off. So, having the screen come off your face for a second or switching ears quickly, won't aways cause the screen to come back on. So far so good. Plus, I LOVE ICS. It's been a perfect daily driver!

When call is connected go to home screen then push power button
Hello,
Anyone having the same issue I'm having? During a normal call my phone won't wake when I remove it from my ear. Even if I push the home button or power button it won't turn on at all. This is a problem especially when I want to end the call or select different options. It seems like the phone is still up against my ear and the touch screen is not active. I don't know of this is a proximity sensor problem software problem. Any help is much associated. Thank you in advance.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try to clean the proximity sensor.
And type this on your dialer *#0*# to check if there is an issue.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I did the test and seems like it's working. Even during the test Sometimes it still doesn't turn off on its own. Any other suggestions? I doubt it right.

After installing Kitkat on Note 3 lte I noticed that the screen freezes and doesn't respond to finger touch. Also the Home button doesn't respond to finger pressing. I have to use S-Pen instead. After a few minutes the note 3 becomes normal... Could it be the Kirk rom that causes it... I'm open to all suggestions except taking it to the service center because of warranty void.. Thanks in advance...
