Interesting bug I've run into over the past few days: Whenever my phone screen turns on because of an incoming call, text message, etc. (aka, turns itself on, not me pushing the power button), the screen does not respond at all to touch input for the screen, or the home, menu, back, and search buttons. The only way to get it to start acknowledging input is to push the power button and cycle the screen off and on. Of course the downside to this is that it will reject the incoming call and send it straight to voicemail.
Does anyone else have this problem, or know of a solution? I don't have any apps actively running when this happens as I use ATK fairly aggressively. ROM and kernel details are in my signature.

I have the same problem on occasion.

I have a problem,
Every time we have finished talking on the phone and the other person hangs up, our phone screen switches off.
We have to press the power button to get the screen back and make sure that the call is ended.
Is this a default on the XDA IIs and can it be changed.
Please help it is driving us nuts.

does it happen if the screen was off when you were called or when the screen was on (ie. you were using it) or both?
It happens when the screen is on or off.
Thanks
When I swapped from the iPhone to android, I really missed the button on the top of the phone to end calls. It was very convenient, I think.
I was therefore delighted to see that the desire had a button on top that I upgraded from my hero immediately (amongst other reasons of course!)
Problem is, when you press it while in a call, it just turns the screen off. Does anyone know if someone has developed a hack to end the call with the power button?

Download and flash the Defrost 0.9 ROM from richardtrip. In Accesibility in settings, you can then enable the end the call from power button
While froyo is cool, I'd prefer to do this in my current sense Rom.

Strange that it doesn't work when in-call. I know it (the power button) disconnects/hangs-up a call whilst ringing, because I often accidentally press it whilst pulling it out of my belt case and it hangs-up the incoming call. Grrrrrr
I have a google unlocked galaxy nexus phone with JB installed. Sometimes when making a phone call using the dial pad, the display will not turn back on when removed from my ear. Today I was on a call and needed to use the keypad and all I had was a blank display. Nothing I did could get it to display. I had to remove the battery to end the call. Sometimes this happens and all I have to do is tap the power button to bring up the display. Is this a known problem? Is there a setting that I can adjust? Thanks.
Hi jjthenovice,
did you find a solution for this behaviour - I posted a similar experience, but so far nobody responded to my post.
Having the power button set up to end the call is A solution - but not a very good one.
I'm using ARHD 9.7.2 and having issues everytime I end a call.
Not sure if this is ROM issue,but it started appearing after I flashed the rom.
Sometimes, but quite often, call ends and everything works fine, but after a short while, when I turn on the phone, I get the full call screen with grayed out "end call" button (from the previous call), I can't click on it (on the big red "end call" button), but I can click on the buttons to the left and right (contacts and dialer I think).
Sometimes I can kill the call screen and go back to home screen, but it does pop up after a while again, usually with completely unresponsive buttons. I can't even get the restart menu, so I have to turn off the phone by holding on button.
Anyone know what is causing this issue? It's really annoying.
So, I'm habitual about turning off my screen. I've noticed that occasionally if I leave the screen on the native messages app, and hit the power button to turn off the screen, it will sometimes trigger a phone call. The only way I can catch it in time is when I feel the phone vibrate.
Has anyone else have this problem? It's driving me a little crazy, because I can't seem to replicate it, it just happens spontaneously.
Not in the few times I tried it. I honestly don't like any of the Samsung built-ins so I only tried the message app for a few days. Like you I do usually hit the power button by habit mostly, but never noticed that.
