Can't seem to figure out why my phone locks after I end a phone call. I have a one minute screen timeout, but even tried bumping that up to 5 or whatever and it it doesn't do anything. Is locking the phone after a call a "feature"?
Any help on how to fix this?
Thanks dudes
bump
For me, if i answer a call while the phone is locked then it will be locked after the call ends, otherwise it stays unlocked. Fw PD1

True. I guess if it didn't do that, one could easily get into someones phone just by calling them, then ending the call.
Hmm, okay. I guess I'm out of luck. Thanks.

A word of caution to fellow T-Mobile Wing owners:
I've found out that (occasionally) when my phone is ringing, the microphone is on and the caller can hear everything! My wife mentioned that she notices this when she calls. She can hear the ringer, and can hear me talking to others BEFORE I answer the phone! This can be really bad! The last thing I need is someone calling and hearing me mutter "What the #$%^ does this $%^& want now?" Plus it gives a big feeling of lack of privacy.
I thought surely it was a fluke, so called my self via landline and found it happened about 1 out of 10 or 15 times.
My next thought was it was software - some 3rd party app or tweak had caused it, so I hard reset back to the default stock ROM and still had the same problem. I installed a few different cooked ROMs, and still had the same problem.
The next troubleshooting step is to rule out hardware. My brother and coworker also use a Wing. I tried the same test and found the same issue there, so it wasn't unique to my device.
I called T-Mobile support to see if there was anything they could do, and they gave me a few bonehead suggestions: swap sim cards, hard reset, make sure the battery is fully charged...
Since this issue occurs:
1. With a clean stock ROM
2. With different cooked ROMs
3. On multiple devices
I don't really know what can be done about this. All I can do is watch my mouth while my phone is ringing until the T-MO Diamond or whatever Android phone they release comes out...
Anyone have any ideas? All you other Wing owners may want to try this yourself, or ask someone who calls you often if they've noticed it!

oh wow no wonder.
its happend to me before.
but only once so im good.
thanks for clarification
This happens to me quite frequently. If you quickly put the phone to your ear when you answer you can hear your ringtone still playing, but hear the person on the other line as well. I think it's more along the lines of a delay in your ringer shutting off rather than the mic turning on.
Just my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong.

I do experience what you're describing, but this is different. If I leave the phone sitting on the counter, then somebody calls me, they can hear my ringer and anything going on around the phone even if I don't touch it.
It's like the phone mic occasionally turns itself on, and the caller hears the open mic instead of the normal dialing tone.

funny thing is i can actually believe that t-mobile said "make sure the battery is fully charged"

Isn't there a setting that says "automatically answer phone after 3 rings"? Could that be it?

But that's the thing... the phone isn't picked up. After about 30 seconds, it rolls over to voicemail and shows as a missed call...

The only thing done to this phone is the revolutionary root method to get the tether app. While making an outgoing phone call to 2-3 different phone numbers, the phone would buzz to show it did connect. Then about a second later the screen goes back to the dialer screen. Any idea's??? Thanks.
Does the phone number you're calling have a +1 or other international code in front of the number? The dialer really doesn't like that. There should be a setting in the calls settings for plus code dialing where you should be able to adjust it. But I haven't been on a stock ROM for a while, so I can only assume it's there.
You can call sprint and have them reprovision (re-activate) your phone, that may help. The fact that you are rooted shouldn't have anything to do with problems making calls, thats usually a network issue.
I've had the same issue. Make a phone call and before it even dials it goes straight to lock screen. Or sometimes it does dial then stops the call and goes back to lock screen. I'm on CM7 so I just figured it was a poor signal causing mine. Sense roms do not seem to do this for me.
This happened almost every time when I receive a call.
When I pick up the phone as normal,
a few seconds later, the call is still going on but I am not able to hear anything.
Not even a noise!
I'm not sure whether this is a rom issue, kernel issue or the sim card...
Can anyone help me please?
Many thanks!
Could be either one. Try flashing a different kernel, if that doesn't fix it, try flashing a different rom.

Just in case: for incoming call if you swipe from right to left you do not hear anything while the caller gets your voice mail. If you swipe from left to right you get the call.

It happens to me everytime I install Xlouder mod or any xLOUD mod, solution: reflash your rom
When you are on a call and receive a second call.... I can answer the 2nd call and swap between the 2
However, when you press END CALL on the active call.. it disconnects BOTH calls. That NEVER happened on my S4.
Is this a software glitch? Anyone else have this issue?

My Galaxy S4 handled it correctly. It disconnects only the active call
I actually tested it out yesterday on a friends S4
I just found this on Verizons website
o Initiate Call Waiting:
When you're on the line and a second call comes in, you'll hear a tone to let you know you have another call. When that happens, you have three choices:
Put the first call on hold by pressing SEND. You'll automatically be connected with the second call. To return to the first call: Press SEND again. To switch between the two calls: Press SEND.
Or, end the first call by asking the first caller to hang up. This automatically connects you to your waiting call.
Really.. I have to ask the other person to hang up? That so F'n Stupid... I know this worked on my S4..
That's how the note 3 works and how the s3 worked. You hit swap when you are done. Not intuitive. I've accidentally hung up on many a caller.

Seems thats the way it works... I definitely know that on the S4, it correctly hung up only the active call...
Oh well... Phone is still great. I live with it.
Using stock dialer, on Oreo. (Had the same problem on Nougat.)
When a call comes in, it does not allow me to answer the call. If I drag up on the ball for "answer", it simply bounces back. It won't "answer".
However, this only happens when the phone is "cold". After answering a call the phone answers normally for future calls
Any ideas?
This doesn't seem to be a dead spot in the touch screen, as I can suspend the ball at the apex for an indefinite time.
The problem seems to be that it doesn't trigger the "call answer". It isn't accepting it as an input.
This is repeatable, but once it has "answered" a call, it will generally answer the next few calls accurately.
I have the same thing on Nougat and Oreo too can be pretty annoying at times

I am on T-Mobile and have not seen this happen. Any of you using WiFi Calling, if not try and see if it makes a difference.
Don't swipe up from the icon.
Swipe up from higher up, near the contact picture.
Just like the rest of the google apps, google doesn't use a proper viewport and the coordinates are messed up the essential phone.

I'm on Metro Pcs which is on the same network as T-Mobile. Some times it takes like 3-4 swipes to get it answer sometimes on the first one and I've actually missed phone calls because it wouldn't answer
I'm not using WiFi calling either

This is my second headset and the first one was without this issue. If you have any one with another carrier, try their sim card. This is what I have done with another phone brand when there was an unrelated to your issue.

Or anywhere in the middle of the screen: swipe up to answer or down to reject a call.
can't answer calls on oreo now
anyone got a fix or workaround ??
This happens to me too. Does the same thing to ignore. I also have problems where I can't hear the person for a good 30 seconds, even though it gives me the ringtone when the call is placed. Sprint says it's not on their end... I've pretty much decided to sell this.
Before this I had Moto G5 Plus which was highly rated as the best budget and it had a ton of issues too. I may buy an iPhone for the first time. I'm just tired of always having an issue with something on an Android device. I just want a product that works 100% of the time.

If you start in the middle of the screen and swipe UP in short strokes, doe this resolve your issue.
I've seen this come up a few times on here and the subreddit and haven't had an issue answering or declining calls :S
