Got a bit of a weird problem, all of a sudden my DHD keeps on activating the speaker phone every time i answer a call on it.
It never used to do this and i'm bamboozled by what's causing this. I've tried turning off the flip over phone to activate speaker mode and it's still doing this.
Looked through all the settings with no clue what has changed.
Tested it 6 times today using the house phone and it activates if you slide to answer or press the green answer button so it's not like i'm hitting it accidentally.
HELP!
same here..googling for an answer now :S
found something? got the same problem
My HTC Inspire started doing the same thing today. Kinda weird, as i haven't changed any setting or added / removed anything for a few days
You may have flip for speaker switched on. Go to Settings>Sound and then under Incoming Calls uncheck the option for Flip for Speaker.
Did you make your DHD wet somehow?
I pour some coke on my Desire and it started to activate the speaker for calls as default. I have started to use Sanity app from Market to force it not to use speaker.
After a few days I have removed the app and everything is fine since then. The coke has been dried out I guess.
Try Sanity.
just a question, but do u have the 'callrecorder' app?
or anything like that?
i had a similiar problem, in my case it was made by car mode.
the phone "knows" that is plugged in a car dock cause it makes a intentional short in micro usb port... one of the features of car mode is always turn on speaker.
sometimes that short happens even without car dock (that was my case).
i solve it by cleaning the port with a really tiny pin and isopropyl alcohol... you can test it by touching a pin in some contacts of the port...

maybe some moisture ?
Did you try to calibrate your G-Sensors? they might be wrong and triggering the flip to speaker phone function.
Hi I had this problem too and found it was an app called power amp I had installed on my dhd! After uninstalling it the speaker issues stopped! Hope this helps

Anyone fix this yet cos my dhd has just started this, I've turned off the car panel thing and I've cleaned all the fluff out of the USB port but it's still on speaker phone. It seems to have started after I charged it up in my van with a car charger. Any idea's cos this is doing my nut in.
Have the same problem. Rebooting the phone fixes it for me. The problem starts again every time I turn the speaker on.

I think it's not a hardware fault or software issue, the phone's screen automatically lock when you place the phone near the ear, they use proximity sensor for auto turn off the screen. When something block the sensor signals it turns the screen off. But sometimes when we call someone and if our head or ear not close enough to block those signals display won't turn off and buttons are remain active, so if our face touch the screen (loud speaker button) it turns on the loud speaker. That's what happen I guess, because it happen also for me most of the time

Hi.
I had the same problem. I found out that I had the HTC navigation app running in the background. This made the phone turn on the speaker on incoming calls.
J
do you know how to uninstall this stupid app its driving me mad, keeps starting up automatically the navigation head wrecking to say the least

Hi;
While on a call, the screen will close. While still talking I press the side button to open the screen and the call will disconnect.
How do I correct this?
Thank you.
Same question. Its just stupid, how on earth I`m supposed to wake up screen without disconnecting a call ?!
Go to: settings>Accessibility>un-check-power button ends call
what's funny is i'm pretty sure that this setting is not selected out of the box, so you guys must have went and enabled it yourselves!

I don't know about yours but my SGN seems to have proximity sensor near the speaker and it seems to turn screen on as soon as I take it away from my ear auto-magically It may "lag", but it's fair enough for me...
Mine did the same thing today. I confirmed the accessibility link cited above was not checked. Proximity sensor is irrelevant, I was on a two hour conference call and speaker using speaker phone mode. Screen times out and shuts down on its own, which also shuts off the prox sensor.
Every time I end a call while on a headset, whether bt or wired, and using the phone while talking, the screen shuts off. I don't remember this happening on other phones. Is there a setting for this? If so I can't find it anywhere.

Can you elaborate a bit more? Does it just time out? Is it off at the end of the call, and you can't make it come back on?
Your phone will use the proximity sensor, when it's within proximity of your face. Aside from that, it will use the set screen timeout settings. If this is a timeout issue, change those settings, under your display options
If this is an issue with the proximity sensor, and the screen not turning back on as the call ends, then simply place your hand over the the sensor and remove it. The screen will turn back on.
I mean if I'm playing a game while on a call with a headset, whether bt or wired, and the call ends the screen turns off. Even though I'm playing a game or browsing, what ever. The screen turns back on fine, just annoying and inconvenient interruption to what ever I'm doing.

Same thing happens to me, but not all the time. Like when I am listening to a message and wants to press 7 to erease it and I find the display does not turn on as it should. I think this could be a bug related to the proximity sensor.

sort of annoying but I just hit the volume keys to get the screen back on...
I guess the most annoying situation, and this happened last night. Using navigator, I took a call on my bt headset, hung up the call and not only did it not return to my nav screen it immediately turned off.
I don't know if this is a bug or a setting, maybe a build.prop thing?

I can't pull up screenshots on my phone while I'm at work but in Application Settings under Development there should be an option to "Stay Awake" while on charger...it comes in handy when using Navigator/Waze. Downside; On GB it tends to overheat the battery but simply pressing the Power/Lock key will override the settings and turn off the screen.

That won't fix the problem of the phone going off after a call ends though. Every time a call ends my screen turns off, even of I'm using it during a call.

Anyone experiencing this? This is really the only that I don't like on the SXI so far. Is there anything in the build.prop that could change this ?
This just ticks me off.
Sent from Rooted LT28at with ICS.
Looks like I fixed it by adding the following tweak to the build.prop:
#
#Disable blackscreen issue
#
ro.lge.proximity.delay=25
mot.proximity.delay=25
I had to edit the build.prop through Flashtool, none of the on-device editors would save the changes.
It fixed speaker phone, but not headphone issue.

I think it happens across the board. Maybe it is not as annoying for people to complaint - myself included. Although it would be nice if there is a fix.

Note 2 Verizon Rooted. Two weeks ago my phone started this. When ever I make a phone call, the screen cuts off. The problem is it wont come back on until the call has ended. Now if i reach someone this isnt a huge issue, but if I have to deal with an automated system, or get someones voice mail i Have to do a battery pull. Does anyone know what is going on? Please help.
Try to clear data of phone app.

Same Problem
I had the same problem, I found it was the cover I had on my phone that prevented the phone to go back on during a call.
This is a problem related to the proximity sensor. It's something very hard to clean so I just disabled turn off screen during calls option. Just go to your dialer press menu button then click call settings you should see turn of screen calls option, disable it.
Your cheek probably touch to screen and press random buttons when you're on the phone so remember to turn off your screen by on off button so you dont touch buttons with your cheek.
Hope that solves your problem
edit: I found that sometimes blowing through the speaker makes proximity sensor work correctly for a while. It's not a practical solution though.

Thanks for the information everyone! I busted the screen a few months ago and assume that's whats causing it. I just didn't think that was it because it hadn't been a problem until well after I busted it. Ill disable this option and that will take care of it for my needs.
Has anyone else noticed that when in a dark area, pressing the main button will turn on the screen but it will then automatically and immidiately turn off?
Several times I've gotten into a battle with the phone only to lose, turning it on and it turns off, then turning it on again and so on...
To compound the issue, in these situations it seems that double tap is signifigantly less responsive to activate the screen as well.
I'm pretty sure this phone is using some sort of facial recognition, it has smart stay doesnt it? I think it has gravity/accelerometer to turn on the screen when you pull it out of your pocket. In the back of my mind I'm thinking that since it cant see me it is shutting off but this doesnt seem consistent...
I'm running stock rom, rooted with twrp. Any ideas?
I have not experienced that. Did your G3 do that out of the box?

Never heard of it. Screen is set to auto off in 30 seconds. Change it to 2 min and you should be good. If u running without a case then maybe the hand is touching the edges of screen this will also shut screen off in double tap.
BAD ASS G3

I didn't notice it until the last week or so. but I kind of feel like that was because I hadn't used the phone that much up until then. I didn't make any major changes to the phone immediately before I started noticing it either, I had already had it rooted for about a week. I feel like the stock rom does have some glitches to it.
The G3 does have a "smart screen" feature that detects your face (Settings > Display). Disable that and see if it helps.
I've not run into this in the dark but have when I try and use my arm band holder when running. The holder covers the ambient light sensor so the phone thinks it was accidentally turned on like in a pocket and shuts right off. Super annoying.
Noticed similar behavior when the phone is in my bike mount at night. Basically it's acting like the proximity sensor is covered. In my bike mount's case, it is covered by a clear screen cover, but normally that doesn't trigger the proximity sensor. But when it's very dark out (not under a street light etc.), it seems to think it's blocked and turns itself off. Annoying.

Lol.
I have the same issue EVERY night. Why is that? It's very annoying
Same issue here
it seemed to resolve itself when I factory reset my phone
but after I got my apps reinstalled from my google backup it started again
so it seems like it's a software issue - not sure to which app it is related to
let me know if you find a fix - this is quite annoying
Me too. I've been facing this issue at night, when it's very dark.
Me and my buddy were in the car during a roadtrip and it was very dark, I mean like: No lights outside, no lights inside the car, the double tap feature didn't even work to begin with and whenever I tried to use the "Power Button" It would come on and then suddenly 'boom' Turn off, now this would happen a few times until it stays on. Weird...
I just experienced this myself, first time I've seen it happen in the 30 + G5's that I've sold. If it's in the dark it just doesn't turn on at all. I hope LG is fixing this. I'm about to Factory Reset it right now and hope for the best! Someone else mentioned that this is the only forum that is disccusing this issue. It must be a very few that are effected. I'm testing another one as we speak.
Has this issue been resolved? My friend's G3 also has this issue. Day time no problem. When it is dark the screen wont' stay on.
Same problem, no fix yet
Same problem here - Pointing it at any light and pressing the power button will turn it on. (As will plugging it into power). Tried tinkering with all sorts of settings (face recognition/auto dimming feature/etc) nothing worked. Tried factory reset, that didn't work either.
My issue started after i had my screen replaced (by a shady shop) who probably didn't do a good job of packing it back together....I'm going to see if I can have someone open it up and clean it out a bit..
I have the same issue on my G3. Even if you're under the covers in bed, the thing doesn't turn on until it gets light. It basically doesn't turn on in the dark through double tap and actually not even with the power button. It could become a safety hazard for someone in an emergency situation.

I have also same problem. No solution yet.
I've been having problems with my LG G4 ever since I got it the day it was released. The touch screen tends to be unresponsive. Sometimes the phone goes to sleep and I can't wake it up. Poweramp has a tendency to pause and play music when I plug the auxiliary cord from my car into it. Other times Poweramp just stops playing. The case used to be that LG Voice Mate would interrupt the app to get me to agree to terms and conditions. After getting rid of it the same problem started happening with the Google Now app so I had to disable that. When those two apps were gone the problem with Poweramp persisted. It continuously pauses and plays on its own and sometimes music ends up playing through the speaker of the phone itself. I've contemplated going to the local AT&T store to see if I could use the Next plan to get another phone or if it would be worth it to see if the problem with this phone can be fixed.
So basically I'm here hoping to see if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks.
Touchscreen issue should have been fixed with last updates.
The fact that when it goes to sleep you sometimes cant wake it up might be due to the proximity sensor. If you cover it with your hand accidentaly, it won't wake up.
About poweramp, did you greenified it? If it plays/pauses often might be because the jack isn't plugged well and the device recognize the movement as in/out, causing it to pause/play/play through the speaker.

I rooted my phone after one update. I'm not sure what the update was, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the touch screen. The proximity sensor was never covered when I tried to wake the screen. Poweramp is not Greenified. When I plug the auxiliary cord in I make I push it in until I hear a slight click. Sometimes unplugging it and plugging it back in causes Poweramp to start up when the app closes down.
My touchscreen works perfectly fine. screen registers multiple touches after the update, but dt2w fails about 50% of the time. It's really annoying.
