Since the latest update, my speakerphone will turn itself on during a call. It happens several minutes into the call and I know it's not my face doing it because the icon will not be lit. Turning it on and off again fixes it for awhile. Any ideas about how to make it stop? Oh, and yes, i did wipe the phone when it updated
Wow. This happens to only me?

So I've searched everywhere and I haven't seen anything for this issue. Even though all the settings are correct and i have vibrate checked in the messages app, my phone won't vibrate for notifications like text messages all the time. Sometimes it will vibrate and sometimes it won't. So my phone will be in my pocket and I'll check it 30 minutes later and see 3 or 4 texts but it never vibrated. I exchanged my phone and am having the same issues. Everything is stock. Has anyone had this problem?
the phone vibrates, it just does it too softly for you to feel it... that's the problem with light phones, the original epic 4g could cause an earthquake but that's because it was gigantic, I never felt the epic 4g touch, and this one I feel it at times...

no it definitely doesn't vibrate. I've set it on the table and texted it and it'll vibrate on every 10th text or so. usually it'll just light up for the notification but it won't vibrate.

menu/settings/sound...........make sure sound and vibration are checked. that is the default for the entire phone even if vibration is enabled in messaging. also make sure your vibration intensity is all the way up.

Yes that's already been checked and vibration intensity is all the way up. The phone does vibrate on some texts, but not most, which is what the problem is.
I've noticed it'll vibrate normally when the screen is on and I get a text, but it won't when the screen is off?
I've definitely seen bugs in phones in which things like notification LEDs didn't work when the phone was in sleep mode. Whaddya know, I recall one of them being a Samsung (Intrepid). Granted it was years ago and Windows Mobile 6.5, but whoever was coding notification and power management back then wasn't fully aware of the point of "notifications".
Then again I just sent myself a test to the Note 2 while the screen was off... phone vibrated, screen turned on briefly (I hate that), blue light started blinking, heard my notification sound, and screen turned back off.
So there's something interfering with your phone's ability to wake up while it is trying to notify you. Have you done any power management modifications or installed anything designed to save battery power?

I haven't changed any power management settings or downloaded any apps designed to save power. I've tried factory resets several times. The phone will vibrate for texts but after about 30 minutes or so goes back to not vibrating. I've called samsung and taken it to the sprint store and no one can figure it out. I first thought the motions was causing te problems but it still doesn't vibrate when those are off. I'm completely out of ideas.
EDIT: I may have figured it out, if I turn on "Wake up in lock screen" in the settings in S Voice, the phone stops vibrating on texts. When I turn it off, the phone vibrates again. Toggled it on and off and the changes were immediate. Does anyone else have this problem??
When im in a call my cheek makes the phone mute or speakerphone turn on it has even made it to airplane mode once. This has not happened to me on any other phone could this be the sensor. Has anyone else had this problem at all its very frustrating. The screen is always black like it is suppose to be during a call but buttons are still being pressed. Is there anything I could do?

Are you stock?
yes I am still currently stock did the s-off from rumrunner that is it no custom roms
Hmm... I know it sucks but maybe try a factory reset just to make sure it's not software and if it still doesn't work it might be a defective sensor.
definitly worth a shot thanks
I've never hit the mute button specifically, BUT, I have dropped calls due to accidentally putting my phone in airplane mode with my cheek more times than I can remember. This happened a lot on stock. I'm on CM now and I think it has probably happened a few times, but not as much as stock - this could just be coincidence though.

I'm was doing the same, but with turning on Speakerphone. You can try this sensor recalibration app and get it set to your liking.

EDIT: Thought I should give my current settings:
PS1_CANC: 9
PS2_CANC: 19
This turns the screen off from pretty far away, but eliminated the problem for me entirely.
Hello,
my GF's phone keeps switching to airplane mode when she answers calls. She can talk for 5-25 second and then the phone switches to airplane mode. I allready checked if the sensor that turns the screen of isnt working, but that is not the problem. If i hide the sensor with my finger the screen turns off.
And she cant listen to voice messages through the speaker, in the moment she takes the phone to her ear, the messages stop.
Looks for me like an error with the sensor but as i said, when i hide it with my finger the screen turns off.
Its on Android 4.2.2 and not rooted or has any custom rom.
Maybee anybody had the same issue or an idea what could be the reason.
I thought about installing Viper one but i am not sure if this could fix a sensor error or if it would be the best solution to send it to htc.
It is strange, but whenever I call with somebody, the screen just won't turn off when I put the phone to my ear. It turns off after few minutes because of the screen timeout, but sometimes I press stuff with my cheek.
Both G-sensor and light sensor work. Is it a common problem? This never happened with my previous HTCs :/

I think I know your problem friend. Last I heard of this issue it was with a droid turbo. He was a hardcore conspiracy guy. So he had all the sensors n $hit covered. I'm not sure how long he had them covered. But after awhile his phone screen wouldn't turn off during calls. Once the tape was removed it worked. If that doesn't work. If your running a custom or stock based rom with tweaks just wipe the system and caches. And reflash the rom it will of course take its usual 10-15 boot up time because of the cache wipe. If you don't use custom stuff. Make sure you have your stuff backed up to google, and refer to a slightly up to date ruu thread to wipe and reset your phone.
During phone calls while using the phone on my ear, the screen will dim like normal and touch is not responsive... But after the call, I move the phone away from my ear, the screen will not wake-up and requires waking with power button. I can only recall a handful of times where the phone acted normally after a call...
Anyone else experiencing this? I am rooted w/ magisk and I have verified the proximity sensor is working (using Droid Info app) -
I am turning off adaptive battery not only to see if it helps with this concern, but overall performance and will update w/ changes
Had this happen as well. Not rooted. Can't remember but i vaguely recall this with other versions of android

Nope nothing, naked

Same. And it doesn't happen every time.
Right after I posted this, made a phone call and it blacked out again this time no power button, double tap, shake, twist, etc would wake the phone. Eventually after about 2 mins it woke up again...
Possibly unrelated, but about every 1 in 5 reboots my screen won't turn on. Stays black, no back light. The phone still responds to ADB and fastboot commands, but nothing will turn the screen on until I hold down power to restart.
Same here.its happened multiple times. naked Pixel here, not rooted. its annoying.
I've made/received 100 calls since Thursday, and it happened for the first time last night. I was able to get it out of black by accidentally doing a screenshot while trying to reboot.
Happened at least 4 times today. Just noticed an update to the Phone app was released, let's see if that makes a difference.
No screen protector, etc.
honestly after some more calls with this issue, i think my dirty ear and is causing the close proximity reading... after the most recent episode, i went to the droid info app and it was reading the sensor at 0 cm and after wiping the notch off, it started to read correctly (5.0 cm) >>> i dont really want to give the haters another reason to dog the notch but, in my case, i think its going to be an issue. i may switch the "power button to end call" on and see if that will alleviate my issue for now -

Same exact thing happened with me yesterday, could it be a RAM management issue?

Thanks for the heads up. I have unrooted and naked 3 XL. This screen off thing was affecting all calls. If the remote party hung up, I was fine. If I got into someones VM, I had to sit quietly until the call dropped.
I added myself to the Phone app Beta program and updated. After several test calls, I think it's fixed.
