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

about two nights ago i was on the phone using speakerphone, my phone was also hooked up to my computer but activesync wasn't working so i did a soft reset which seems to always fix that. what i did was that i told the person i was on the phone with that i would call them back and i did a soft reset while on the phone with them while it was on speakerphone instead of hanging up. when my phone turned on again i noticed that the speakerphone icon was in the title bar and apparently speakerphone was on. i made a phone call but speakerphone actually wasn't on, i pressed the button to try and turn it off but it didn't, i opened up the menu options and tried to shut it off from there but also failed. i've done a soft reset but that didn't work, i've looked around for a bout a day and a half but i haven't found anything. i am really trying to avoid a hard reset but unless someone can help me out i think i might have to
any help is greatly appreciated
fixed!
i installed a program called Speakerphone that automatically turns on your speakerphone when you have an incoming call having it automatically turn on re-enabled the "speakerphone off" key
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.
Sometimes I am using the (front) speaker phone or the caller's voice is loud. In both cases I end up holding the phone away from my ear and the backlighting will not go off. Is there a way to force the backlight off during a call?
the proximity sensor isnt that impressive for me. it doesnt work on when its over your hair. i have a feeling it would be more impressive if i was bald.
I tried pushing the power button during a test call and it seemed to work to turn off the screen but not disconnect the call. Maybe that is all there is to it.

Correct
My old Note 2 turned the screen of while a call was in progress but the Note 4 doesn't and I can't find a setting to make it happen. Anybody know if it's possible to get the screen turned off during calls- and if so, where do I find that setting?
Thanks!
It looks like that setting is now removed. Might be due to the fact Samsung is trying to market the phone to a wider market.
But you can turn off the screen with the power button.
Or if you have a flip case it will turn off the screen like how it does with proximity sensor. There was a proximity option in the note 2 as well they seem to have removed that too.
Thank you- appreciate the info! Wish they woulda left that stuff in but I will train myself to power the screen down now.
That is strange, my Note 4 shuts the screen off when I am on the phone..
Mine as well.. just tested.. called my phone and answered. While the call was active i put the phone to my ear and then pulled it away. When the pho e was withing 2 inches or so to my ear the screen shut off. When i pulled it away from my ear i could see the screen come back on. Tried multiple times with same result.
I never paid attention to this feature since I always had it with my previous phone and with the Note 4 it wasn't an issue for the first couple months. So it must've been activated but now it is not. Gotta find that mystery setting!
I find that if I have Bluetooth connected, the screen will not turn off in-call. But the screen will turn off in-call if my Bluetooth is not connected.

I changed nothing and the screen is locking now. I got no explanation for that.
I'm having the issue where my proximity sensor appears to just not be working.
I can lay the phone on a table and make a call out. The second I hit call the phone goes black. Take my hand away, nothing. The only way to bring the screen back up is to press the home or power button. Problem there is, the screen never blacks out. I can put my hand over the sensor, nothing. Unless I hit a button again.
If you're using a custom Marshmallow ROM, whether it's Resurrection Remix, Vanir, CandySix, Bliss, Xenon, or any other, and you're experiencing calls being dropped, I think I might have found a solution for you, and it's easier than you think! After hours of downloading, flashing, and testing different ROMs, calling friends and family to test for calls getting dropped, google searching everywhere, etc. I found out that a particular combination of settings might be triggering the phone to drop calls, or as I'll explain in a minute, to hang up.
As it turns out, there are a couple of settings in the new custom ROMs that might cause the problem. The first one is the "Tap to Wake" setting. This nice little feature allows you to turn on the screen by double tapping it. The second setting is the "End Call" by pressing the power button. Thanks to our lovely LG G3 back power button, it's really easy to finish a call by pressing the power button.
Both settings are wonderful and harmless on their own, but when they're combined they will definitely cause problems. Let me explain. You see, when you're making a phone call, once you dial and hold the device near your ear, the proximity sensor detects your face and turns off the screen. This avoids unwanted touchscreen taps (Your ear might accidentally touch the hang up button if the screen was on). However, when the screen is off, your ear still touches the screen multiple times while you talk, your ear becomes like a finger, tapping and double-tapping the screen while you're happily talking to your other half.
Now, normally, this ear-tapping doesn't cause any problems, the screen is off after all, right? Well, bear with me a little longer and you'll see what's going on here.
You might think that when the screen is off, double tapping it sends a "turn on screen" signal to the phone, right? Well, not really. The double tap only simulates a power button press... That wouldn't normally cause any issues, right? But, if you're in the middle of a phone call, what does the power button do? Yes, you guessed it right. It hangs up.
So, that's what's happening, calls are not getting dropped, you are literally hanging up! with your ear!
FIX: Do not have both "Tap to Wake" and "End Call Power Button" enabled. You have to disable one of them.
I really hope this helps a lot of unsuspecting users like me that were concerned about this call dropping issue. Hopefully ROM developers notice this too and help us fix it for real so that we can have both settings enabled.
and so in the sense that i never enabled that to begin with what is the countermeasure?
Dropped Calls

If you don't have any of those settings enabled, then you're good! If you're still experiencing dropped calls, it might be the modem, or the kernel, the signal, the ROM, it could be anything... that's why I spent hours trying to find the cause of my calls getting dropped... hope you find yours...
