With every single custom rom here, when my screen is locked (at the slide to unlock screen), and I receive a missed call, my screen unlocks itself. It does not do this with the stock rom. It has done this with every custom rom, and even did it with my Moment when I was on a custom rom. Is this something that developers here are intentionally putting in the phone as a "feature"?
This problem causes my phone to start dialing people when it unlocks after a missed call in my pocket. A while back, someone called me, I missed the call, the phone unlocked, and I pocket dialed my mother-in-law while I was at the urinal. Really embarrassing at the time...funny when I look back at it now.
I now user Tasker to watch for a missed call event, and then it runs a screen lock application when I miss a call. This workaround gets me what I need, but it just bugs the crap out of me that it works with the stock rom, but not ANY custom rom. Does anyone have a clue why this happens? Am I the only one noticing this problem?

Well I've spent the weekend hacking the hell out of my new S621 to get it how I wan't.
One things thats really bugging me though. Using the built in keylock (manual) or automatic keylock, if the phone is locked and I answer a call the phone automatically re-locks once connected. Which means to do anything like speakerphone or even hang up the call I first have to unlock the keypad.
I've never owned a phone that was such a pain in the ass to hang up a call.
Is there a workaround for this? Something i'm missing?
Small but frustrating.
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.

Via the XDA app for the HTC Inspire
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.
Has anyone else experienced the call screen changing between two different versions during incoming calls? Sometimes my call screen shows a swipe to answer function, and other times it shows a press to answer function. While both work just fine, it is annoying and I personally prefer the swipe to answer call screen. I have looked through the settings and didnt see anything that would affect that, so is there an app I could freeze that would fix this? Im currently on rooted 13B but I had this same issue on stock and rooted 11A.
Just found the answer. The call screen is swipe to answer when the phone is locked and press to answer when unlocked. I don't know why I never made that connection.. But there it is.
hello everyone. i use CM12 custom ROM around for 8-9 months.
Today i had a strange problem. When someone calls me, phone does not wake up. i mean, i hear the ring noise but screen is off. So i can not answer the calls. and when i call someone, screen is again off.
when i call somenone and when he/she does not answer, phone stays like that for a very long time (maybe an endless loop or something like that). so i make a hard boot to close my calling and if i need to press some buttons while calling (calling a bank or calling center etc), i can not do it. What can i do to solve it? does anyone have any idea?
i tried to change some settings in "buttons" section. i set "home button" to answer calls. but it does not work either. when someone calls me, i can not answer it. ((
i set "power button" to close calling or close the phone. it works.
i need an urgent help. can someone help me? i do not want to format everything and start a new custom ROM procedure
after a little search, i learnt that i have trouble with my proximity sensor.
i updated my ROM to CM12.1
i downloaded xposed installer and sensor disabler. but still does not work. how can i eliminate "proximity sensor" on calls?
in case somebody needs, i found the cure... if you install "rezound proximity" application, it will do it. it works on my HOX...
When somebody calling me and I pick up, I can make conversation but phone is stuck on ringing mode, and after few moments hang up phone call, and I have missed call...
Somebody else have this problem? How can I fix this?
I dont have this problem.

That's weird, I did never face this issue but my A2L is relatively new (1 week only).
I'll try to phone to my own A2L using different devices to see if I face this issue.

Yes, it is very weird and annoying. Not happens every time, but sometimes... ?
This happened to me yesterday for the first time, but I thought that was a problem of the person that was calling me.
It was a number I didn't have in my contacts, and after the bug I immediately called back that number, but it was not available.
I thought the person that was calling me had a very low battery charge and while calling me his phone turned off, causing the bug (because immediately after the bug it was unavailable).
To this date I still did not have this problem.
Me too, i cant answer and reject calls when i upgrade to android pie
Solved: Screen not turning on with incoming calls
Step 1: Go to Dialer or Phone app settings. To do so, you can either go to main settings, then open ‘Apps’, and then scroll down to Dialer or Phone App.
You can also access App Info page by long pressing the app icon, and then tapping the App info option or the small ‘i’ icon in the corner.
Step 2: Now select “App notifications” option and turn it "on"
Step 3: Now if App notifications are turned off, your display won’t wake up when someone calls you. Also if only the “Incoming calls” permission is off, your screen will not light up with incoming calls. Make sure required permissions are turned on and your issue will be fixed.
Xiaomi Mi 2 Lite. I cannot get incoming calls to show on my screen, so I can't answer. Tried switching notifications off and on again, tried forcing stop. Two days ago I did a factory reset and was OK for 2 days. I think this is since latest Android update about a 10 days ago.
Call answer bug
I have similar issue on Mi A1, been going for a while. Sometimes, call comes in, the answer key cannot pick and cannot reject the call. This happened after a certain update I just dont know which. I have noticed that this mostly happens at some particular GSM antennas, sometimes, just by moving away from that antenna (that's when in a car) solves the problem. But as long as I remained in that location at that time, i cannot pick or reject calls, I also can't make calls, I get the promt, network problem, even though the service bars r showing. And in some cases the people calling will tell me, that calls to me are not going through.
This is driving me nuts. When I get a phone call I get a bar at the top of the screen with two buttone, one saying Decline and the other sayng Answer. I can tap on it like a demented woodpecker, but nothing happens. If Itry to swipe it, the two buttons just disappear into a void and the phone keeps ringing with no way to answer. Very, very occasionally I get the normal notification that I can swipe to answer, but I have to phone nearly everybody back.
