Preventing Screen wake with bluetooth headset - Touch Pro CDMA

I've been searching and I'm trying to find out if there's a way to keep the screen from coming on with phone calls when I'm using my bluetooth. I'd like to be able to keep my phone in my pocket, but the screen gets pushed sometimes if I'm walking and hangs up on people and things like that. Since the BT lets me make calls and answer them without touching my phone, it just makes sense not to have the screen come on. (Same goes for SMS wakeup but I've found the fix for that)

Keep cutting off calls when answering the phone

Hello,
My wife keeps cutting off the phone when she is talking on the phone, I believe it must be her ear touching the touchscreen which is not ideal but is there any way of adjusting the sensor or anything?
dig into settings, theres an option somewhere to turn of screen when making calls

Help finding an app

I'm looking for an app that will lock the screen when the phone is upside down. Here's my problem. I keep my phone in my pocket, generally top shirt pocket. I'll be on a call using a headset (BT or wired) and another call comes in. The screen wakes up (in pocket detection doesn't make a difference) and because it is a press to answer button on the screen for call waiting, the phone connects to the waiting call 99% of the time.
So, I'm looking for a way to keep the screen from activating. In pocket detection would be good if it worked. Maybe just have the phone upside down in my pocket (not good for wired headset through). If there isn't an app, something like Tasker (looked but it doesn't seem like a solution) or anything else that might help is appreciated. I can't believe I'm the only one with this problem but it I don't see any complaints. TIA.
i too need a similar app
i use a bluetooth headset to receive call on my maxx. i have tried almost every app that detects in pocket using proximity sensor. they all work well. but the moment a call arrives or made the screen lights up causing all sorts of button press and the phone hangs. please suggest a app with which the screen should not come on whatever may be the event (call, message etc) when it is inside the pocket.
Try using:
Cheeky Hangup Guard
myLock Utilities
Angle offHookGuard
On Phone Touch Protection
I've not personally used them but their description sounds like it might be what you're looking for.
i use automagic automation to create a rule to lock or silence the phone when it's turned face down.
and yeah, i know it's a 10 months later reply

[Q]Phone sleeps after phone app closes when it shouldn't

I've got an annoying sleep while/after answering a call issue. I've had this issue on my old Captivate, so it's probably an Android issue rather than a SGS3 specific issue.
Set screen timeout to 3 hours (Automatically when in car dock mode, usually 1 minute, I can get the same behavior without dock mode however)
Receive call & answer with bluetooth speakerphone
Phone blanks the screen as if I put the phone up to my ear
I hang up
I have to try & type my PIN in again while driving
It only occurs due to the phone app & is extremely frustrating.
Any thoughts on ways to avoid careening off the road due to getting force to type in my PIN?

[Q] disable screen auto wake in android

I have a specific problem that has persisted through multiple android devices, through all ROMs and builds.
Currently I am on a Verizon galaxy nexus with cyanogen 10.1 (background in case it's more relevant than I believe).
When a timer or alarm goes off on my device, or when I receive a call or text, my screen wakes automatically. I think this may be considered a "feature" in android. However, since my phone is nearly always in my pocket, it means that the screen turns on and often receives enough of a false signal in my pocket to disable an alarm or decline/accept a call. It is very inconvenient and would be alleviated if I could specify that I want my device to turn on the screen ONLY when I press the power button.
I know that others have the same problem from searches on xda and elsewhere, but I don't see solutions (except what looks like a registry hack on some specific devices)
Note: I am not looking for a suggestion to get a cover to stop screen interactions while in my pocket, nor do I want to hear about a more elaborate lock screen to keep said interactions from interfering with alarms/calls. The problem is simply that the screen comes on at all with seemingly no way to change the behavior.
Thanks for reading and (hopefully) for helping with this problem.
I'm not sure it does what you need but you might try IntelliCover: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dragonnis.intellicover2
I can't find on its description that function but I read someone solved with that.
good luck
no dice
I installed the recommended app (a neat app, by the way), but it doesn't fix the problem in question. Alarms and communications still wake the screen.
Thanks anyway.
Hi,
Did you manage to disable screen wakeup ?
Thanks
Has anyone figured out a solution to this? I'd really wish the screen would only turn on with the power button... Even when phone calls come in, I always have to CAREFULLY drag it out of my pocket so I don't accidentally hang up or answer.... This and a thousand other scenarios

CM10 superlite: Screen lock on active call, requires battery removal.

Howdy,
I'm currently running CM10 superlite http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180695 I have installed the bluesleep fix, but on reading all the information about that, this problem seems separate anyway.
Every time there is an active call, my screen locks as though the prox sensor has been tripped, and the screen will not unlock by any means other than battery removal. This is only while the call is active. If, say, the other person ends the call, I can unlock the screen with the power button as normal. The phone is not sleeping, the screen(and seemingly all input methods) is simply being disabled during the call. I had a call open for 2 hours this weekend because neither of us hung up. I only found out 2 hours later when I took the phone out of my pocket and heard him talking to his wife. hah!
It happens instantly when a call is picked up. No delay, no proximity activation required. When making a call, it happens the very moment you press the "send/call" button. I am trying very hard to remember if this has been happening since I installed the ROM, but can't be positive. I just installed it about a week ago, and can't for the life of me remember if I accessed my voice-mail during that time, prior to today(when trying to delete a message became an issue), but I'm 90% I didn't, meaning this has likely been happening since the install.
I have tried manually increasing the min cpu speed, but, this fix seems to be for a sleep problem, which this doesn't seem to be. It had no effect. All other threads that describe similar problems are either about different ROMs, and/or appear to be about actual sleep mode issues.
I am very happy with this ROM(this issue aside), and have spent a considerable amount of time tweaking and installing things that I really do not feel like doing again. I'm not the type of person who enjoys flashing their phone every other day.
Thanks in advance.
*updated info*
It seems that either using a headset or plugging one in will prevent/fix this problem. It keeps the screen from locking when making a call, and will unlock it if you are already on a call with the screen locked and unresponsive rear/volume buttons. Technically I used headphones, not a headset, but I am guessing it's the same mechanism.
I have tried adjusting any setting related to headsets and screen locking that I can find within the call settings, and anywhere else I can find one that looks related. No luck. Only workaround is plugging in my headphones... which I don't always carry.
