Phone problems

Couple of annoying problems in phone mode: 1. Sometimes, even though phone is locked, it wil automatically answer calls when in my pocket - what's the point of being locked if it does this? 2. When on a call, if another call comes in phone will automatically switch to new call and point existing call on hold, with no warning or prompting from me - very annoying. Does anyone know how to stop these happening?
Other than that great phone with a few minor irritations, eg when in contacts looking for a number, if access say SMS or phone, when return to contacts has returned to top of address book - would be much more convenient if it stayed at last accessed name.
Did you enable "Automatic pickup" in your phone settings?
No, all settings are normal, and not set for automatic pick up??
Not sure if I was being clear earlier. So, here's a screenshot of the Automatic Pickup setting I was referring to.

Working mute app for allowing certain numbers

i9300 4.1.2 rooted stock ROM, howevever frozen/uninstalled many system apps.
Currently have app Silent Hours which successfully allows calls through while it has activated mute.
I however want an app which can perform a quick mute, preferably with widget on home screen, while still allowing customized numbers through. Silent hours does have a quick mute function, but it does not allow calls through with this function. So at the moment I have to go into silent hours, choose start time and and end time, what day, then I get what i want. It's just too tedious. Plus I'd like to customize what numbers to let through; it can only allow all calls.
I started looking around and tried some apps, but none of them unmutes when call is made to a S3 it seems:
Mute-o-matic is very fancy with all the features I want, mailed dev, no response.
What I tried:
Custom event in mute o matic, set time from one minute from now and waited for mute. Then made call from number on exceptions list (tried two different cell phones), call is coming through but no sound. Auto-sms reply works.
Calendar event. Again, no ringtone but SMS is working.
Restarted app, restarted phone
Closed all other apps, clearing memory, closing all active services.
Frozen all other similar mute apps.
Custom level to 6
I tried all other relevant apps I could find on play store; all of them failed in unmuting.
I just now gave play another go. Searched all free apps for "Mute", and tried all app with required features.
Mute 'N caller - fails to unmute.
RD Mute - can't put in mute mode via the triggers
perhaps the reason is one of the system apps I removed or my ROM being screwed up some other way, since the apps lists S3 as tested and working. I would however before flashing appreciate if some of you could tell me an app that is working for you!
edit:
Tried out even more apps.
RD Mute - can't put in mute mode via the triggers
Doesn't work at all:
VIP calls https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vision.vipcallseng&hl=sv
mute n call
Selective Silence, neither in silent mode or vibrate https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.selectivesilence&feature=search_result
Settings profile
Followed instructions from http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...pp-lets-you-only-have-certain-calls-ring.html
If post 9 then then phone rings irrespective of number being allowed or not
If post 13 phone does not ring if allowed number, neither in vibration or silent mode.
Partially works:
Auto ring, only if set to vibrate - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.auto.ring&hl=sv
Fully works:
Call filter alarm https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.pezzin.callfilteralarm.free - However it does not have that many options.
Guess I'll use touchwiz blocking mode in the mean time. It's easy to manually trigger, but does not have SMS-text reply and can only be automated on/off between a certain time, which is the same for all days. But I can use silent hours or call filter alarm for that.

Check this app out:
Call Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
Call Master Pro Key: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist.key
Been using that for many years now and it's the best call block app out there but it cost money and it's worth it. But you need root on the phone to use it.
And that is the best way to get rid of that annoying callcenter sellers and other idiots that calling you everyday

From the description it doesn't look like this app will make my phone ring if I have it in vibrate/silent mode. I need everything, mail, chat, other notifcations etc, to be silent. The only way the phone should make noise is if alarm goes off or number on whitelist is calling.
edit: just tried it out, naturally it did not unmute. Installed call master -> gave root permission -> new profile -> create new list -> added exception for number -> actions -> added action Filter calls & SMS -> allow.

awful floating phone call status blob

Any idea how to disable it while trying to use the phone when in a call?
That phone status blob is horrendous. I'm constantly repositioning it but it is always in the way.
Fix
Go to setting >> Call >> uncheck incoming voice call pop up

That doesn't stop it, it only stops it when an apps in use , always there when on a call. I'd like to disable it permanently.
I disabled it and I don't see it on a call... Try restart device

That's not what we are talking about.
That applies to the popup for incoming calls. The blob is still there for any ongoing call.
1. Make a call
2. Minimize phone app
3. Witness the blob overlay on whatever you do
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app
Get the G4 tweak box and xposed framework. Then if you buy the full version of the tweak box for 3 bucks you can disable it
you are talking that floating icon with voice speaking out their calling ID? I think it's from one of the LG software. Try uninstall voice mate. I had that problem didn't know how to get ride of it. I was mass uninstalling some of the LG software and got Nova launcher on. Now it's gone.

Strange noise since update. Driving me mad.

I've not had TCL that long little over a month and before the update a few days ago it wasn't making this occasional sound (it's hard to explain but it's a four beat sound like a notification but it's not)
Since I updated it a few days ago it won't stop doing that noice I've turned off all notifications, turned on silent mode and only put calls back on and it still does it.
It's driving me insane because I don't want to be in a call and my phone makes that sound or even be out and it make that sound.
It happens randomly at night as well, as I typed this it has happened twice.
I am asking for any advice before I end up going back to iPhone or go to a small phone. It is probably something simple but I have no clue and it's driving me mad.
Thanks.
I do notice this as well. On AOD Display or Notification screen when phone briefly turns on is a solid grey circle notification and then disappears when unlocking the phone.
There are 4 things you can try:
1. Clear data of all your browsers, It could be a browser sending the notification. Which for me it is. I have chrome send me notification on a website I have saved as an app to my home screen.
2. Boot into recovery mode and clear your cache.
3. Go to Settings > Apps > View all Apps > 3 dot menu > Reset app preferences.
4. Factory reset.
