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

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...

So on my G3, I use an Incipio Dual Pro Shine but when I take it off, the LED goes on. IDK if thats a defect or it does it for a reason, has anyone else seen this?
It does it because of the double tap to turn on screen feature. Notice everytime you double tap the screen to turn the screen on it lights up blue.
I just bought a refurbished Tab S and it looks like it hasn't even been used. It came with Android 5 and I didn't notice the problem, although I only used it for a few minutes before doing the OTA update to Android 6.0.1. Although everything seems to be working, if I grip the tablet between the lower right corner and the usb charging port, the screen blanks. Then when I remove my grip from this location the screen comes back on! I know ... weird behavior, right? It only happens in this area and it doesn't happen if I just press on the back or on the screen in this area. I have to actually grip on both sides. It's a beautiful tablet and I would hate to have to return it, so I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to fix it. (In everyday use it is just to annoying to aviod touching this area.) I read a post by vndnguyen (14-Jul-2015) on this forum that said:
---------------------------------
Our Galaxy Tab S has a Grip Sensor. You can check it by:
1) Use *#0*# to open Hardware Test, select GripSensor. You will see the grip sensor is located at the upper-right corner.
2) Use *#1106#. You can set the Grip sensor on/off.
-----------------------------------
So maybe I could fix the problem by turning the Grip sensor off. However I couldn't figure out how to enter these secret codes since a wifi only tablet doesn't have a dialer. I found an application called "Secret Codes" with an icon that looks like a lighted match. It listed a code with a #0 for hardware test. I pushed that button and it said it was invoking the code but then I saw no response from that.
Would selecting "Factory Data Reset" from the Backup and reset settings menu be worth a try to fix this problem? (Would I have to do the Marshmallow update again?).
By the way, here are some additional things I did to see if I could make the problem go away (to no avail):
- Starting the tablet in Safe mode
- Turning off automatic brightness, screen rotation, smart stay, screen timeout, Adaptive display, and screen tone auto adjust
- Turning off lock screen
- Turning off Palm swipe to capture
Any advice would be highly appreciated.

(VZW Phone) Greetings. I just traded in my trusty V20 for a G7. It was free. (bogo). With my V20, only the second screen was "always on" and I loved that! but with the G7, the only "aways on" feature seems to be for the main screen only. I don't see any way to have the second screen "always on" and the main screen off. Am I missing something here? this is a huge deal to me. Thanks for any info in advance.
Yes you missing something. True second screen. LG G series don't have two displays. But dont worry, LG G7 it turn on only few pixels of all screen for data with its need to be shown. And if you turn off "Daily timeout" it will turn off only if you cover proximity sensor.

I beg to differ on this from my understanding. As per what I know what you have said will be correct for oled displays and not true for the g7 panel. The second screen is indeed "always on" unless it has been configured to phase out from time x to time y if configured that way. Or else once the option is turned on, the screen is indeed "always on".
P.s. if you look at the screen in a pitch dark room while second screen is on you will be able to see that the entire screen is on at very minimum brightness.
Hey all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra on ATT, and i think it has a mind of its own. I haven't been able to capture any footage of this, but the phone will randomly do things like, if I'm in my text messages, it will select one and tap the text bar repeatedly, or it will quit out of whatever app I'm using, or it will go to the screen that shows all the apps i have running. It always does this 5 or 6 times in the span of a second or two.
Any help is appreciated.
Do you have a screen protector on? I've had this before (not on this device) and it was due to a bad glass screen protector install.
You can try turning accidental touch protection on, and turning touch sensitivity off in Display in settings.
