Has anyone else noticed that while on a call if you change the phones position from vertical to horizontal the screen comes on? It happens on my wifes retail version and my developer edition. Basically happens when your on a call and lean over the screen comes on everytime even though the phone is flat against your face.

is there anyway to lock this phone so when its in your pocket and you're jamming out to some tunes, the screen doesnt turn on or the volume doesnt change? I've had this phone unlock it self and its beyond annoying. Also the screen will be off, phone locked, and if i get an email or text or what ever, the screen comes on every time. It didnt bother me at first but its starting to get to me now.
Tell me about it. My Note 1 pocket dialed 911 recently; I noticed a stern voicemail an hour later telling me if it was a real emergency to dial back. For those who don't know, when you use a PIN lock, an "emergency dial" button shows up, and one swipe and a tap in the right place can dial 911 (the Note 2 / JellyBean helps by not having "911" as a single-tap choice).
Anyway, couple things you can try. The flip screen protector (from Samsung) will prevent inadvertent screen presses while in a pocket. It works very well, though I personally don't really like having to flip open a cover on top of a phone this size.
It might be possible to use another SMS app like Handcent that won't turn the screen on when you get a text, but I haven't verified that. I haven't figured out how to prevent the screen from lighting up when a text comes in using the stock app, but the flip cover would prevent any screen taps from happening when it does.
I tried a proximity lock (turns screen off when prox sensor is activated), which worked, but there is some odd behavior. When you get a text and the screen kicks on, the proximity sensor app doesn't know you want the phone to go back to sleep, so I think it prevents deep sleep after that (battery drain?). And it also interferes with the phone's ability to use the proximity sensor during phone calls, so after the first phone call and subsequent proximity lock, it no longer works at all during calls until the service is restarted. You might experiment with these though. There's one called "ProximityService 2.1" (Google it since it was released in a Droid forum IIRC) and others are available in the market.
No software tips on the volume buttons, but if you get a TPU style case the cutouts will make them less likely to get pressed. I wish they were recessed just a little more or harder to press. I don't like the TPU cases because they add bulk to the phone.
Hello. Since getting my new HTC M8 the other day I noticed that the screen can flicker for a fraction of a second when in the setting menu.
The issue really comes to light when you use a screen filter, I use the app that is literally called screen filter. If you set the app to about 20% and then you go into the settings menu you start seeing microsecond white flashes when backing out of and entering new menus.
Does anyone else experience screen flicker on there M8. I like to know if its my phone thats the problem or the screen filter app. If someone wouldnt mind testing my steps above out, it also helps if you have the screen filter on in a dark room as the flashes become even more pronounced.
Thanks
Hi guys,
anyone had an issue where the screen flickers really badly? Mine has been working great then today it did a weird glitch where the button bar at the bottom went halfway up the screen, and the screen flickered really bad, like a tube light starting up. Ive reset it and now its flickering like a fluorescent tube light. everything still works, but im on the phone to three now organising to get it returned.
cheers

ok, so an update to this. after leaving the phone on all day the flickering screen stopped flickering, however now i have an issue where plugging my ear pollution headphones causes the phone to now show as a headset with microphone, and the voice assistant to appear. It is also now getting really hot on charging where it didnt before, so my returns envelope arrived today, and its off back to LG for a repair. Seems very strange how its happened after a month of relatively light use, where my 2 htc phones were working great after 2 years of use?
anyway, lets see what rubbish comes back from LG
Home screen Magnifies
I have a weird problem with LG G3 screen
When i double tap to lock the screen .....Home screen Magnifies and if i double tap on that again it goes back to normal
I dont understand why .....can anyone please suggest me if any option to be tweaked under settings
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I am not sure if the update caused it so here I am checking if anyone got similar issues.
My screen goes black when: Swipe left to App page; Swipe up to check notifications
And I mean goes black because the watch is still on, for example if I swipe up I go to the next notification and the screen turns black, even not seeing if I swipe right which would dismiss notification it actually does, so the watch is functional just with a black screen.
2 strange things.
1 - If I go mess around in the setting page, it hardly turns black, 99% of the time I can change things around.
2 - Using some of the watch faces I can't even bring to watch to life, I can see that it turned the screen on but keeps all black.
Well, does anyone have questions or suggestions?
PS: (I have already talked to Moto Assistance and they told me to proceed with RMA; As I bought from Amazon I can process a refund but wanted to make sure it's not a software bug)
Thanks,

Is there a pre-installed screen recording app that came with our phones? Today in recent apps I had a notification that screen recording is running and also noticed a new notification icon that looks like a camera.
I have no idea how to turn it off (besides rebooting phone) and never saw an option to do this let alone turn it on.
I also noticed I get a small circle on my screen wherever I touch it. Never noticed that before.... Any idea what is going on?
