Hey, everytime I am in a call, my ear taps the taskbar and it opens the notification window which covers my call screen. I have googled and searched this forum with no success.
Apart from TouchLockPro, was just curious as to if there is anything that addresses this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Do you have something (case?) blocking the proximity sensor? The screen should be turning off as soon as you put the phone to your ear.
Yes I do. I've just tested it out, that seems to be the problem. So is there any tweak to prevent this?
i know even with the screen turning off with the proxy censor i will find i am in the screen with the connections and battery info when i am done with a call... its kind of annoying and worrys me a bit i might accadently end the call when the screen is off.... also the flip over to make it a confrence phone is a 50/50 thing... this device is so glitchy
I randomly get this too, I think sometimes the sensor isn't used.. There are times I've noticed I can cover it up completely with my thumb and the screen doesn't go off, but other times it works just fine.

Tweak...some testing to see where the sensor is (somewhere along the top near the HTC logo) and an X-acto knife to the case?
same thing happens to me, most of the time somehow I turn on airplane mode and the call disconnects.. sigh
TouchLockPro has a feature which turns the screen off using the G-sensor, but it's not just for calls, if you have it horizontal it'll be on, and if vertical it suspends/screen turns off; this would be good if it was just for calls, especially for those that use a case.
I'm just starting to use TouchLockPro (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444215) and I have most of the locking features turned off - I just hit the power button if I want to lock it.
It does keep the screen locked during a call so I no longer hit the buttons. Plus - when it unlocks I'm right back, exactly, where I left off.
There's lots of options to tweak, I think there's something for just about everyone.
I LOVE unlocking with the zoom bar - first time I've used that thing on my phone

BattClock:
just some preferences set for appearance
Telephone API:
Everything is checked (except light)
Software:
Nothing set up
Other Settings:
AutolockOnPowerOn and UnlockOnACPower are checked, everything else is un-checked (added vibrates Lock/Unlock once - I like the extra notification)

thanks! works like a charm now, is there any way to lock it if it is idle for like 30 secs or something without havin to hit the power button
There's a number of ways to lock it using the various sensors - you can try one of those and see what fits your habits / style best. You can also click on the BattClock icon to get the menu - the lock icon is right there. That's 2 steps though...

I'm no developer so i have really no idea if this would work.
But, as this mobile is a AMOLED screen, each pixels are lighted up and so not much battery is drained on a black screen.
What if we could somehow make something when a new sms has not been read and screen turns of, a black screen like this appears
Is something like this possible?
pic example, could even be smaller or just 1 blinking pixel.

I think to display a message on screen the machine would need to be awake, so it would be using more power than with an led notification (afaik the device can normally go to sleep then).
Your idea would still save power over just showing the lock screen though because you are right that using fewer pixels would proportionally reduce power usage of the screen.
I guess the hardest part would be making the device appear off - It would need to ignore screen and button touches (except power).
I am confused with how "Ambient Display" and "double tap to wake" works
Problem solved. There are settings to configure these under settings --> display. Ambient Display is a LeeDroid-related feature.
I am fairly new to HTC/sense and I am confused with how the "ambient display" and the innate double tap to wake function works. I am currently on LeeDroid rom but I assumed that both the LeeDroid and stock rom share the same function. So far, when i disable "ambient display", my phone will not light up when I get a text. I can't find an option to disable/enable double tap to wake. Here is what happens on my phone (I do not have pattern/password/fingerprint to unlock)
1) phone screen is off --> Double tapping on the phone wakes the screen up. Phone lights up with lockscreen.
2) phone screen is off --> doing a 1 finger swipe up motion on the screen wakes the screen up AND unlock the screen, taking me to the unlocked homescreen.
3) phone screen is off --> finger on fingerprint sensor wakes screen up. Phone lights up with lockscreen.
4) Phone screen is off --> phone just lights up randomly (I didn't even move the phone or change the lighting in the room) with clock in upper screen with a black background. (similar to the screen you get when the screen lights up with a new text notification). Is this the "ambient display" screen?
5) Phone screen is off --> 1 finger swipe down motion on the screen triggers a hint to suggest another wipe down to activate camera
I am very confused as to which of those are part of the "ambient display" function. Why does the phone light up randomly? How do I disable "double tap to wake" or "swipe up to unlock" functions?
Thanks. Any help is appreciated

You should probably ask in the rom thread. You'll get much better advice and more specific to your current setup.
you go to settings/display, gestures & buttons/motion launch gestures then untick everything there
#4 is the Ambient Display feature.
Ambient Display is a LL/MM feature, LeeDroid has enabled it within his ROM (not enabled in stock ROMs).
The rest are Motion Launch gestures and both Motion Launch and Ambient will be found under Settings>Display & Notifications (as 2 different options).
Just download it on the Playstore NotifyBuddy. The app developer XanderApps made an amazing simple app to bring back a simple and beautiful notification light when the screen is off. Easy to configure, allow all the permissions, pick the apps you want it to show the light for, choose a color, and that's it. You can tinker with the settings for the duration of the blink, how long it takes to blink again, and how long it blinks for, which is a big one for me because other apps do not let it go for very long from what I've seen. The developer also said that there is screen in burn protection built-in! The only thing is AOD settings get disabled when there is a notification as well as screen-off fingerprint unlock and a double tap of the screen is needed to wake the phone up, or alternatively press the power button.
No notification light is an issue I had found with the note 10 + coming from the Note 8 and this is resolved for the most part
Lemmi know what you guys think about it !
If you are not providing the app then you have posted in the wrong section...
Since last two days my phone suddenly is locking with a black screen floating padlock symbol with a digital clock and date and alarm symbol.This display turns on immediately as soon as screen idle / not used and blocks everything until home button hard pressed or power key depressed which is very annoying and pin code screen comes after that. https://paste.pics/86BJ8[/IMG]
I have turned on / off AOD and this screen display is not AOD as AOD is being displayed separately if turned on.I have tried every option and setting I can think of but this screen does not disable.[IMG="screenshot"]
