I just installed Widgetlocker.
Is there way to not have the phone being locked under Widgetlocker during calls when the phone turns off screen in a call?
Usually after 15 sec in a call... my phone's screen goes out.. but when I try to use functions during call such as dialpad, mute, etc... I have to unlock the phone again through widgetlocker..
The phone would normally not be locked under the default locker..
Is there a way to change this?
Thanks
In WidgetLocker edit mode, try pressing the menu button - Settings - Behaviour - Show In Call.

Hi,
Sometimes, when my DHD is in my pocket and it rings, I take it out of my pocket and, Unintentionally, rejecting the call (it seems that I am touching the screen).
Any idea how to stop it from happen?
Hi, I use Call Confirm App as I used to have the same problem, thankfully not anymore now.
What is the name of the apps?
Thanks
Call Confirm App
I installed it but it is good only for outgoing calls.
I need an app for incoming calls.
Oops sorry about that still haven't got rid of my hangover yet.
Only other thing I can suggest is get a leather-ish flip case.
I use one I got off the "bay" and it does the job OK.
Del.
Thanks.
No app?
I have exactly the same problem.
If you like, you can check my theme here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911474 and especially its last post... but I havent found any "full" solution yet.
I have the same problem too.. :/ The only solution so far is to pull it out from the pocket very carefully without touching the screen. That just annoys the hell out of me.
I believe this will solve your problem. It's in the market and it allows you to delay button presses, to prevent accidental rejections. Check it out.

you have several options, but unfortunely none of them are great! =oP
this "slide" is a part of htc framework, so it can't be changed (if you wanna stay with sense)
so, when i'm with sense i prefer widget locker, it's a really great app, "solve" this problem by put a unlock screen over the original one (so, you pick out the pocket, unlock the phone/widget locker, see who is calling and slide up/down to answer/deny, basicaly you need to unlock you phone twice)
other idea is simply disable the lock screen and use widget locker to unlock the phone, the idea is:
- Disabling lockscreen you will get a incoming call with no slider, it will be replaced by that simple two buttons "answer" and "decline" (the same you got when the phone rings and you are using it)
- when lockscreen is disabled, the screen goes off, but any key turn it on again, so, you use widget locker to solve it, and let the option "over the original answer/deny call" ticked (but it won't stay over anything, because lockscreen is disabled)
you can also try http://www.appbrain.com/app/proximity-screen-off/com.itsme4ucz.screenoff
that app has a option that let your phone with screen off when it is in your pocket, using proximity sensor.

my screen goes blank.. but the call is still pending sometimes.
I'm trying to use the music controls on the lockscreen, and sometimes I want to hear more than 3-5 seconds of a song before skipping to the next one. Problem is, in those 3-5 seconds the screen turns off again.
Why not use volume buttons to change songs? But there is an option in cyanogen settings/ lock screen/ delay and timeout.

Because I'd like to change the volume with the volume keys.
Despite the name/descriptions of those settings that you are suggesting, neither of those two settings do what I'm asking.
Screen Timeout Delay - This only applies when the screen is both On AND already Unlocked.
Screen Turned Off Delay - This only applies after the screen has been turned off, whether manually or automatically. Then it starts to countdown, when the countdown reaches 0, the next time that you wake your phone, it will be locked.

You can still change the volume. To change the track you hold down. Its that simple

Thanks, did not know that. I guess I have no other choice than to go that route then.
You can use a custom timeout with "widget locker". Keep in mind, is a replacement for the lockscreen however.
I don't have music controls on mine, but it is handy to access emails or check sms with a single tap.
My lock screen resembles a home screen more than a lock screen. However, I find having quick access to the things i use most with the least amount of taps to be invaluable.

screen lock options are worthless for privacy because if someone wants to snoop thru the phone while any of the screen lock options (password, swipe pattern etc) all that has to be done is to call the locked phone from another, answer the call, and without hanging up, hit the home button or menu and bingo, full access to anything that is on the phone, text messages, contacts pics, whatever is accessible normally as if the screen lock was not being used...for the duration of the call. to begin with if the scren lock is on, a call should not be able to be answered with out some kind of eunlock sequence or password entry as well as with reading incoming texts which are displayed despite the screen being locked,(just have to be quick to look at notification bar to read it when it comes in)....
so is their an app that fixes this security flaw?

Although, what are the chances that someone who steals/finds your phone will have your number to call it anyways?

Then if you lose the phone don't call it that's the last thing I would do,, get myphone installed on your phone that way when you. Lose it you can track it or send it a text to wipe and lock the phone,,,

i.m not worried about the phone being stolen or lost, i have 'android lost' app for that, its others who do have access to that phone when i'm asleep or away from that phone, like snoopy girlfriend etc
there are other apps that can set passwords/pins/etc to individual apps. i forget that name but i'm sure it's not hard to find. there's one for locking files on your phone/sd card called iLock which i use.
Is there a way to have the screen either turn off or lock when you are in a call? There have been a number of times when folks have used my phone and they disconnect the other party because they move the sensor away from their face and back which causes the screen to come on and then the end call button gets pressed. Perhaps an Xposed module tweak?
Thanks,
Kevin

It works on our phone. Just tweak the setting to how far you want the "near" to be

Ok so, under the original lollipop silence settings, when you pressed a volume key it brought up the volume bar, with the options underneath to choose "None, Priority, All" for sounds. So I could just tap the volume key, tap priority, and go to sleep knowing there would be no sounds apart from my alarm. I could also do this at work, because it was quick and silent. It also had the advantage that when I changed it back to "All", my volume would revert back to my old setting. All easy and good.
Now though... theres two choices.
1. Tap the volume all the way down, to vibrate. The phone vibrates loudly (even if I have all vibrations turned off). Then I press it again to go to silent. Then I have to do the same in reverse (including another vibration) to get it back up to my old volume. Dumb.
2. I found out you can tap the bell icon in the volume bar to cycle between states. This at least keeps the volume on my normal setting. But it still vibrates when i cycle through it.
SO... Is there no way to go from normal to silent without the damn thing vibrating loudly? I never use vibrate, so I'd want to just deactivate this option entirely. I used to be able to do this.
I have tried play store apps which say they do this... but when I set them to the "silent" option (not their vibrate option) and ring my phone, it vibrates! Even though I have phone call vibrate set to off.
This is such a stupid change. I know people disliked the priority options (I thought they were an improvement myself), but this new system just seems so much worse than anything I've used in the last 5 years of android ownership.

If you have an unlocked bootloader you can flash a costom kernel and turn the entire vibration off.
