[Q] keypad lock?

Are there any apps available that can lock out the buttons or change which button to wake the phone only.
I know i can lock the screen but when its in my pocket the screens keeps coming on and draining the battery. So maybe something that will lock out the front buttonts and wake only with the volume key.
Ive seen pocket lock and sensor lock but they're old apps and cant find an updated version.
Thanks
Here is a flashable zip file which will disable wake from front facing buttons. Make sure you have wake on volume enabled!!!! Or you will NEVER wake your phone
Install it just like you install any other flashable zip file in CWM
Thanks for that.

Please refer to my screenshot above. I'm still not getting it.
Those advanced settings are part of CyanogenMod which then show up in other ports of that ROM
When you scroll down more? There should be a section about call settings to make sure call waiting is on.
Dunno, my phone makes the normal "beep" sound when I have call waiting so either something you have disabled it or something else is screwed up. If nothing works soon then i'd say do a FULL format and reinstall 4.2.2 from the Google factory image and see how that goes.

How to get rid of lock-screen screen when you miss a call or get a text??

OK so I hope I can describe this well enough so that you know what I' talking about. Whenever I get a text message or miss a call and my phone is locked and screen off, and then I come back and wake my phone, it ALWAYS goes to this default screen that shows who the text/missed call is from (and for texts, it will actually show some of the text message). How do I change this, or is there not a way to change it?? Thanks to anyone that can help!

Sure. I don't know about the calls, but the texts I can help. Open up the default messenger. Hit the menu and touch settings. In there you'll see some goodies. One of them will address your text concern.

Settings 4 tabs

I've seen it discussed a couple of times how people are enjoying the new settings tabs that are organized in 4 parts. I don't have that on my new note 3. It looks exactly as it did on my note 2. Am I missing something or maybe a check box that should be checked?
I'm stock (of course) and in 'about phone' it says 4.3
Any help would be appreciated...

It actually is on the phone, you just can choose either or.
Click on the menu button within settings to change it.
I Prefer the regular one screen for the Settings... its nice to have options.

GENIUS! i've been seeing it in lots of videos for the international versions and other hands on clips, but wondered why it was that we didn't have the same menu. thanks for pointing it out! :good:
It's interesting that many people hate the 4 tabbed settings and cant switch to the single page vzw users have, and vzw users want the 4 tabbed settings lol. At least we have both options.

LG Please know we hate this. Let us turn this annoying feature off

This right here pisses me off
Sick of this damn call timer when trying to use other apps during a call.
Let's sign a petition.

Dont wait for it to be remove. Just wait for root and bootloader unlocked to flash a different rom. That will happen before they remove that annoying feature
So damn annoying. I hate that awful floating blob call timer. It makes me hate LG even though I really like the G4. Just today it was covering up the navigation directions while I was driving and I missed my turn!!

That option is for incoming calls to pop up without taking you out your current app

That's not it.
Every time this issue comes up people keep talking about the check box for the incoming call popup. That has nothing to do with it. Look at the picture in the original post. There is a floating blob of a call timer when you multi task on any call.
I think he was offering a solution to the other guy's issue. Not yours
This was on the G3, but could be removed with root, xposed, and G3 tweakbox. Until then nothing you can do..

You could just move it out if the way of your directions....

The G2 had a feature to remove the floating dialer. I do find it useless since the notification shade HAS all the same controls. THAT option in the dialer is actually the little floating popup that allows you to ANSWER or IGNORE that floats over apps. With it disabled, you will get the full screen phone app on incoming calls.

Wherever I move it, it just blocks something else. It starts out by default toward the upper left. So when I switch apps to navigation, it is right there and I was expecting to see my turn direction. Couldn't move it in time since I was driving.
