Yea...started happening to me a few days ago. Try totally disabling the lock screen, and see if it stops. If it does, you can enable it again. Are you using the regular slider lock screen? That's what I was using when it happened. I used face unlock for almost 2 days, and it never happened. I'm not running any lock screen now that I'm home, and its fine. Its just weird that it randomly started happening...I've never used a third party lock screen or even messed with the default settings for it to happen.

Yeah im using the stock lock sliders. I'll play with the lock sliders tonight when I get home and see how that goes.

Ending calls from nexus is difficult as the phone shows me the control menu instead o

Ending call a call on my nexus 4 is difficult as the screen shown to me when i pull the phone from my ear is the control menu instead of call the call window. I have clicked the icon in settings to use the power button.... But thus to me doesn't seem the right answer for what's really a problem. Certainly coming from using an iPhone not having the call screen to end calls when you pull the phone from your face does seem silly to me
Any ideas what I should do?

I have no idea what you mean by "control menu."
When I pull the phone away from my ear there is a dialer pad and a big red button to end the call.

The "control menu" isn't the right word for it... I think its called the status menu. Its menu you pull down with one or two fingers.
It does it every time.

i think its just the way you put the phone on your ear

Really? I actually don't know what to say... Maybe I should ask how am I supposed to hold the phone.
I put it up to my ear it goes black whilst I am on the phone and then I pull the phone from my ear it still black then a few seconds later it wakes up and shows me that control/status pull down screen.

That's odd. Never heard of this happening. Maybe try a factory reset?

I also want to add that it works normally if I don't make a connection ie someone doesn't answer the call. Only when the call is answered dies this happen.

same weird problem here, running faux kernel.

Are you sliding the phone around on your face or something? Are there things protruding from your face/head that are hitting home or back? What the heck?

answer is no to all the questions, screen doesn't light up during calls.

Hi friends I am also facing problem "screen does not light up during calls ,give us some solution

[Q] Alternative way to turn on Nexus device? [REQ]

Im trynna keep my power/volume rockers away from constantly pressing it + with the poetic case its awkward.
is there an app that lets you to turn on your screen without having to press the buttons?
For example saying "Nexus" and your screen lights up?

You mean from sleep or from power off?

pgm aka slide2wake, needs kernel support

From sleep

A different case that will turn the screen on/off when it's opened/closed?

I use "Screen Control" by MYDIGITA, which uses the N10's accelerometer to wake up the device. Just give it a shake. It is not perfect but works well enough.

I'd also look into Tasker app. For example - I'm sure you could make it wake when headphones are inserted, etc...

Last week I changed from using "Screen Control" to a free app called "Gravity Screen Off" by Plexnor, after reading an XDA review. The reason I like Gravity Screen Off more than Screen Control is that it keeps the screen from turning when reader long text as it detects slight movements on the N10. That meant I could uninstall an app I had to used with Screen Control called "KeepScreen". Simply put, Gravity Screen Off does the job of two apps and does it better.

SLOW volume adjustment?

On rooted stock, nova, and bloat disabled. TW Home disabled. Otterbox Defender. When I press the volume buttons it takes maybe 3 to 5 seconds before the volume will adjust. The volume display box will appear and the slider will not move until after maybe 3 to 5 seconds if the box does not time out. I will try to get a video. It is not just a lag it is just slow to respond.
Does anyone else have similar issues with the volume control? Know any fixes?

I have also just realized that sometimes when I do adjust the volume the volume adjusts then maybe 30 seconds later the dialog shows and will show the sliding then stay for another minute. Annoying. Anyone else have the issue? Maybe... The only lag on my phone.

Loud Speaker button in S-View

Hello,
Only had the phone a day and I don't know if it's just me but I've noticed that when I use the S-View case with my Note, if I am on a call the loudspeaker button doesn't actually put it on loudspeaker. It doesn't really matter in one way as i can open the cover and press the button but it's a shame it doesn't seem to work.
Is it just me.... what are other people's experience of it ?
I'm on Kit Kat.

Just press the button for few seconds, it will turn green..
