I took the 8.1.0 update a few weeks ago. The only issue I'm having is the call screen shows up and only the end call button is showing. Weird weird weird. Like my phone is making secret calls while I'm out and about but when I pully phone out and unlock the screen, it shows up for a second then disappears or goes away when I hit the end call button. Google didn't help me find a whole lot on this issue. Anyone ever heard of this before?

This same problem came up when I was using MIUI and now I am on CM7 and I thought it would go away.
When I try to make a phone call (for example, like trying to activate the phone) the screen shuts off during the phone call but the sound still works. I can even talk to the person from Verizon but I can't get the screen or touch screen to work. I can push any button. I can't even turn the phone off with the power button.
The only way to get the phone to work normally again is to pull out the battery.
This so far has ONLY happened with phone calls. Everything else works great.
The only thing I can think of is the sensor that detects if your ear is up to it is glitching.
Does anyone have any suggestions ?
This used to happen to me every once and a while, usually playing with the track button would fix it though. A few hard presses and moving your finger over it real fast would snap the phone out of it and the screen would light.
The sensor was just blocked off and apparently was causing the problem. Took the screen off and removed what was blocking it and it now works perfectly. Did this about 14 days ago and its been good ever since.
If I'm on a call, and using the number pad to enter some numbers but then put the phone back to my ear, the screen isn't turning off very quickly, so I end up pressing some numbers which can be quite annoying. Anyone else suffering this? Not had these issues with my previous Androids.
yep. happens whenever i use the number key. very annoying. never happened before the update though.
yup!
annoying as it is, it happens to me as well!!

Hello brother! i have the same problem. its actually an issue of your proximity sensor. its common with this phone.
there is not permanent fix for this ( other then disassembling the phone and correctly attaching the proximity sensor to the glass).
what i do is i press from the front cam side but not covering the sensor. it gives a display. this is a temporary fix.
one more thing. take off your back cover. and press the sensor area with your fingers. apply pressure but not enough to damage the touch. i did this two days ago and seems like it is fixed for me.
hope this help you.
Ok so this has been going on for a little while now. Sometimes it pretty much goes away and other times its really bad like today.
The problem is that when I go to call someone and press call, it will take a while to start ringing, and sometimes it won't even rung and I'll just start hear the person on the other end start talking.
Then the second issue is when I go to answer an incoming call. I can swipe the answer button over to answer it, and it will slide over but won't answer. I can slide it over a couple times and eventually it will answer. But sometimes by the time it does, it goes to voice mail.
And finally, when I go to hang up a call, I press the end button and it won't hang up right away. I can tap it a bunch of times and it will just hang up once it wants to.
Has anyone else had this issue and how did you solve if. I'm running stock rooted 5.1.1, it hasn't always done this so I know it's likely not related to the root process.
Any ideas?
I have the same issue. Running PaulPizz rom 5.1.1 rooted RE
So, I'm habitual about turning off my screen. I've noticed that occasionally if I leave the screen on the native messages app, and hit the power button to turn off the screen, it will sometimes trigger a phone call. The only way I can catch it in time is when I feel the phone vibrate.
Has anyone else have this problem? It's driving me a little crazy, because I can't seem to replicate it, it just happens spontaneously.
Not in the few times I tried it. I honestly don't like any of the Samsung built-ins so I only tried the message app for a few days. Like you I do usually hit the power button by habit mostly, but never noticed that.
