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.

Power Button Click Sound

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to add sound to the power button when pressed to turn screen off on my N4 CM10.1 JB 4.2.2.
Like iPhone

In settings/sound, there is Screen lock sound. The sound is delayed just a hair after the power button is pushed and until the screen turns off.
iphone?

You should get a noise. You have an issue.

I'm using CM10.1 maybe cyanogen Dev team have removed that function? I'll post on there q&a section, thanks.

Just to let you know I created a tasker action to beep and vibrate when screen turns off.

Flashlight shortcut from lockscreen?

So I discovered this purely by accident.
I've picked up my phone at night a few times and have blasted myself in the eyes with the light of my camera. It acts light using the widget to toggle it to act like a flashlight. Thinking my phone bugging out I thought nothing about it. But after the 5th time I decided it was a built in feature.
After much trial and error, I have these results:
With your phone on and screen timed out (turned off), press volume up and power at the same time. The screen should turn on, as well as the light on your camera.
To turn off let the screen time out, or press power to turn it off. Then press volume down.
Now I do not know how it works on mine but not my wife's note 3. I'm running stock Rom rooted with no mods.
I will try and figure out how I have this working, but any insight would work too.
Does anyone else have this feature?

I know Wanam Xposed has a feature for using volume up while the screen is off to turn on the flashlight, maybe that's it.

Well we're on this topic. I'm stock rooted on mje. What's the best way for me to add the flashlight function to my phone? I miss having that feature as I've had it on the last 3 phones I've owned.

The post above yours should do the trick. If you're talking about a toggle from the notification bar, I think it is built in most custom ROMs.

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.
Daniel

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