OK I have the stock ROM for my phone just rooted. Nothing special other than a few odds and ins that are rooted apps. My qslide apps stopped working like 3weeks ago. Rooted my phone 4weeks ago...a few days after purchasing it. Now...when I use my dial pad within a call it cuts the screen off then I have to press the power button for the screen to cut back on. Also when using my address book search bar I can only type like 3 letters before it clears all the previous letters typed and uses the last letter I typed...weird...anyone else having these issues or know of any solutions other than flashing to Cryogen 10?

I suggest 1 thread dyde . like o posted in the other, try a factory reset. Are you using a screen protector by any chance? It can cause issues with phone calls when trying to use the dial pad.

No screen protector

So should I factory reset even though I'm planning on flashing to a ROM? I just hate it that I'll lose my launcher organization and all my apps. I'm very anal about how my stuff is set up

The EVO my wife has, the screen will not come back on when she is wanting to end a call. No button pushing will wake the phone. She has to plug her charger in to get the screen to come back on so she can hang up. She is completely stock. Any ideas?

Have her download and install a different dialer and see if that works. Just search 'Dialer' in play store and pick one that has good reviews.
Have her clear the phone cache and data. Did she install anything recently?
I will have her try both suggestions and see what happens. She hasn't downloaded new. Thanks for the info.

Hi,
Is there any way to enable on screen buttons on note 2 ? I just need back and home button on it.
Thanks
Not at the moment. you can edit build.prop but things get all messed up.
Just download button savior for now. I have it setup where back and home pops out of the left side and goes bck in withiin a second once used. very convenient and minimal. Doesn't take up much space like all the other wannabe button apps.
OPPAN NOTE 2 STYLE!!!
You can I do its throws a couple of things out of wack. Tw launcher. I use apex though. The camera, cuts of half of the shoot button and the diailer also call log your last call ........ im used to it the buttons are of more help to me then the problems are trouble...." qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"

Not sure why anyone would want to edit the build.prop, it messes up all the dimensions. Here is a pic of what i am talking about. Button Savior simple clean and works. Everything is configurable, from button locations, size, numbers of them, how long before it goes away etc ..
So I was listening to music on my phone with slim bean and it fell behind the bed and when I found it all it does is say Samsung and vibrate in a consistent pattern. Also if I remove the battery and put it back in it vibrates as soon as battery/charger is connected. Does this mean it somehow got in bootloader mode? If so is their a way to get it out without my PC? I tried getting into twrp but. No avail.

These is a similar thread floating around here where people have had this issue when using Pandora. See if you can search for it.

No problem. I knew there was something on it but didn't know the details. People have also had a similar problem with Pandora. Don't know if that's what you were listening to, but there seems there's a problem with Pandora and the latest roms.

I was listening to music from my SD card. I got it to boot
But I didn't have the similar in and when I rebooted it it did the same thing. Also got it to load the tarp splash and it rebooted then and I can see the screen flicker like it was booting and the power button was pressed. Looks like I'm going to have to send it off. Hope I can get it replaced for free if not I'm gonna look at a different phone.

Has anyone ran into issue where you make a call screen goes dark like it's supposed to however if you want to end call screen won't come back on until call ends on the other side. So if person doesn't answer I have to wait till voice mail picks up and hangs up on me after it times out.

Phone isn't rooted. I have tried to hit all the buttons including power to turn it back on after it dims out and still nothing. I'm thinking of doing business factory reset but I rather avoid it if I could.

It happens when you place your finger or any part of the body near the sensor.

Got a screen protect covering the proximity sensor? Yours might be too sensitive. I had the same problem with my n4. Solution was no protector or wait till dearth or whatever brand you use to not cover the sensor. That was the first and only phone I ever had that issue though.

Did reset still same issue. I'll try without case, however I have had no issues with case till now.

You can always go into the accessibility settings and set the phone to end a call when you hit the power button

Yesterday I wanted to read a numberplate from a picture to the person I was talking to. Had to text it to him later because the screen wouldn't turn on.

Enter *#0*# in the keypad to open the "test menu".
Press the Sensor tile and test your proximity sensor's function bij moving a finger over it.
If it does not change value from 0 to 1 and make the screen go green, your proximity sensor is likely to be broken.
Replacing the front camera (which houses the proximity senor) will then fix your problem.

I went into store today to speak to a tech that used to work with when I was a sales rep @ sprint. He told he has seen issue a couple of times. He says when that happens its a sensor issue. More common with fones that where 1st shipped out. He could of replaced it if I wanted but he wanted to avoid giving me a refurb. He did a couple of tests and it's been working since. He suggested if it happens again to bring it back again.

Works after a reboot. Seems to be the solution to every problem with that sensor.

I admit this is sometimes frustrating for me too. I'm curious as to a quick fix.
I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

This is easily fixed, just change the lockscreen to anything other than swipe and the phone will no longer accidentally become unlocked in your pocket

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?
