Hi Guys,
Ive noticed that sometimes when i use the speakerphone (either by pushing the on-screen button or flipping the phone over), it works fine. However, once the call is over, the touchscreen is deactivated it seems. Nothing works. Cant press anything. As for the hardware buttons, the windows button works, and the power button works. The volume, call, and end call buttons do nothing.
Not sure if this is relevant, but I only notice it if the phone was flipped over (with touchscreen down). If i used speakerphone with the phone facing up, doesnt seem to happen.
The only ways ive found to fix this are to soft reset with that little button under the cover, or to miss a call. (obviously, if a call comes in, I cant answer it as none of the ways you'd use to answer a call still work). After the call is missed though, the touchscreen comes back to life.
any ideas??
thanks
havent notice quite this.. but something similar...
when i wanna make a quick phone call
i open the keyboard type name of contact,
select the contact and hit enter to make the
phone call.. when i close the keyboard to turn
the phone to my ear, half of the screen looks
normal and have of it looks all MESSED UP...
im sure is not a hardware problem or anything.. ( well i hope so )
i think is not bcuz it only do it on that situation..
besides that my screen is normal..
bump
phone been around a while now...maybe someone else noticed this problem...
I've noticed that sometimes my phone will go into "sleep" mode like when you quickly press the power button. Maybe a quick tap of the power button to wake it up will help.
Just got my TP2 today, and one of the features I was looking forwards to using was the automatic speaker phone.
I turn the phone over on a call, and the Mute button lights up. Then it vibrates and the speaker turns on. Then it vibrates off, then on. Sometimes it just turns onthe Mute, but not the speaker.
Obviously I have made sure that Phone->Options->Advanced Turn on speaker when flipped is checked.
The speakerphone works fine when I press the button.
I did try searching for this, and all I found was someone whom upgraded to 6.5 and didn't recheck that option.
I'm using stock, just out of the box. Installed apps -> Facebook, PockeTwit, ZoomBar Addon.
Any help is as always, greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced!

It's not just turning it over, but putting it *facedown* on a flat surface. Did you try that?

I'd say that unless you've been setting it down on an uneven surface -- or not actually setting down at all as the other guy suggests -- there must be something wrong with your phone.
There's no setting/configuration that would cause the inconsistent erratic behavior you describe -- going on then off, vibrating, etc -- if it's setting on a flat table-top or similar.
Got a new phone yesterday. Went to the store, called the store, set my phone down and said "Isn't this supposed to be on speaker now?" and that was that lol.
Thanks for the help guys
Hi there
I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but couldnt find anyone who has had the same problem.
When making a call, if my ear touches the screen, it sends MF tones to the other caller. I did get them my end, but turned off tones in menu hoping this would cure it, but now just sends them to the other end, hence i have to call people using loudspeaker!
I am probably being really stupid here, but any help would be gratefully received.
regards
rob
"You're holding the phone the wrong way : The proximity sensor is at the upper left edge of the phone, it might not register your ear near it (usually left ear).Try holding it differently or try the right ear.

This is a solution, as it works for me
BUT WTF SONY? We have to hold our phone in right ear otherwise it puts phone down/puts on hold and randomly presses other numbers.
I'm seriously pissed at my Z1C.
Touchscreen randomly stops working
Touchscreen goes crazy tapping all over the screen opening millions of apps etc
Can't hold my phone in right ear on call
WiFi downloads slower than Data Connection.
WHAT THE **** IS THIS SONY?
Seriously unimpressed... and I'm paying almost iPhone 5s price and I can guarantee this wouldn't be happening on iPhone 5s
everytime I make a call on my phone the screen goes blank as if the phone has turned off (the call still goes through).
after the call the screen doesnt come back on.
I have to hold the power button in to reset the phone.
I done a factory resetbut still the same issue.
Any ideas people?

it might be your proximity sensor..
Whenever you make a call and hold the phone near your ear the proximity sensor detects this low distance between your phone and you and turns the screen off (maybe to save battery) ..
it means your proximity sensor might be damaged...
I'd recommend you to download CPUZ and check if the proximity sensor is working properly by holding your hand near and from the phone.. you should get 2 values:
0 cm while holding your hand near the phone
5 cm while holding away
you can also check out the lg hidden menu by typing in dialer
3845#*975# - lg e975
3845#*970# - lg e970
in the hidden menu goto DEVICE TEST then INDIVIDUAL ITEM then KEY PRESS TEST ..
Test it by holding your hand near away as i explained above ..
if the proximity sensor is working well.. I'd recommend you to factory reset
thanks I will give that a go.
btw I have already tried a factory reset.

Hi, did you get your phone working good when making a call? I have the same problem with mine and cant figure out how to fix it.
iv'e had this phone for not too long and well everything is just fine, love the phone but this happened today after i got back from school i was feeling the phone in my pocket, but i didn't know that i was actually touching the phone and when i pulled it out it was stuck on this dark gray screen with a small white/light gray camera icon at the bottom. i don't know what this is, but i can still charge the phone, i can listen to music via pressing the play button on the headphones, if i hold the power button i can feel and hear the option to turn off the phone, but nothing happens i can turn the phone on and off i can also turn on the phone using the knock code so i know my touchscreen still works. please help, thanks in advance apparently i can screen shot it as well
