I keep my s4 in my back pocket and use a bluetooth most of the day. My phone is not password locked, I use a std swipe gesture to unlock. It seems to me that after getting a text message or an incoming call, answering that call with my bluetooth and completing that call without ever removing the phone from my pocket, the phone becomes unlocked and the touchscreen becomes sensitive to pocket pushes and pocket dialing. anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas on how to solve this problem short of setting an unlock code?

I was reading the user reviews of the Fuze on another website when I noticed one saying that the Fuze requires you to press the power button to reactivate the screen each time you need to press a phone number button on the screen while you are on the phone. Is this a requirement on the TP2? As someone who has to deal with phone trees and other automated phone systems alot for business calls I was thinking that I should ask about this as it would be extremely inconvenient.
The proximity sensor will automatically turn on the screen if you move your face away from the device during a call. There's a big button to bring up the keypad to use. If the keypad is deployed and you put the device back to your face, the screen will turn off. But if you turn the screen back on, the keypad will still be deployed, so that's pretty useful.
Thank you very much for this information, it in nice to hear that this problem was resolved on the TP2. I was also wondering if it is possible to run the speakerphone with the TP2 in face up so one could type on the dialpad on the screen while hearing the responses from the phone call? I'm guessing this is possible as my old 8525 does it fine but I just thought I should confirm it. Thanks in advance.
During a call, you can also take out your stylus, it will start notes.. makes it available to write on the screen during a phonecall.

Yes, there's a large button during a call for you to tap to switch to speakerphone as an alternative to putting the device face down on a table. Dialpad works the same in speakerphone mode as in normal mode.
Does anybody know of a lock screen that can be configured so that if the device is woken up by a text, or incoming call etc its locked BUT if i wake it up myself with the power button it ISNT locked? I need it to be locked if i receive a call or text when its in my pocket, but it really annoys me to have to 'slide to unlock' if i deliberately turned it on myself - it seems like an unnecessary step (am i asking too much do you think?).
Does anybody know if this is even possible, i.e. can the device tell the difference between how its woken up?
Anybody know if there is a setting to allow answering an incoming call without unlocking first? This is the first phone I've seen that requires this if using a lock screen password or fingerprint.
Thanks!
It looks like turning off the "Incoming call lock (Answer incoming calls with your fingerprint)" fingerprint setting resolves it. I interpreted this setting to mean you could use the fingerprint reader to answer the phone in addition to the regular method but it seems like it means it locks down answering calls unless you unlock first.
Problem solved!
Yes i had the same issues it was unlock with fingerprint setting
Is there a way to change the Call answer screen from swipe up and down to swipe left and right?
I have been looking for a couple of days now but I have not found an app or a setting to change this.
I'm asking because I carry the phone in my pocket and a lot of the time the phone rings and it answers or declines while in my pocket without me knowing a lot of the time.
You could use some other phone app. But, I keep my phone on pocket also, and never had such a problem. It should detect that it's in the pocket and disable touch to prevent this from happening...
Hi everyone, I have such a problem. When someone calls me and I have a mobile phone in my case, I can't see who's calling and she wants to enter the password I have at the fingerprint first, then I can only see who's calling and I can answer the call, it's annoying, is there anything wrong? OnePlus 9 Pro Thank you
I have the same problem only thing I don't have it in a case just in my pocket. Could be something to do with pocket mode. I have to swipe away the pin code to see who is calling, and it only happens in my pocket when is out of my pocket is working fine
