[Q] Locking on active call

Am I the only one that gets frustrated trying to hang-up a call? The phone shouldn't lock on active calls, but I can't find anyone else complaining. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong key terms?
Anyways, I've found a few apps on the market, like no lock, but it's not a true fix. There has to be some way to disable locking while on a call. I shouldn't have to spend 3 seconds to press the hang-up button.
** Additional Complaint: On speakerphone, the screen blanks out immediately. **
I get the same thing, very frustrating. There's a thread for accessing programming thru the dialer & one of those settings impacts this. The *#7594# that enables power off at long press of the power button also disables the lock screen and fixes this problem. But when I used it, it seemed to prevent my phone from sleeping, I noticed a big difference in battery life so I went back to stock set up.

Its really annoying when u r trying to type n a credit card number and the lockscreen pops up. I will say that for me, it o ly seems to happen after I install clockwork. I highly highly doubt this has anything to do with it. Maybe just when I notice it

I tried testing this when I saw the first post on it, but I can't seem to replicate this issue. I remember reading this was for incoming calls, not ougoing.
I have Screebl Lite installed, but I disabled it, set my screen timer to 15 seconds, called my cell, covered the light sensor for 30 seconds, checked the screen and no lock. I then covered the light sensor for 1m 30s, checked the screen and no lock.
Does anyone have specific steps to replicate this?
It only locks when I use bluetooth. Is that what the issue is?
good day.
I get this alllll the time...and when using speakerphone the screen stays on, you have to hit power button to turn it off

What the heck? My screen never locks when I'm on the phone. Honestly, I kind of wish it would. I have the completely opposite problem. I keep accidentally hanging up or muting myself because apparently, the proximity sensor doesn't detect hair, so the screen turns on when my hair is in the way of the side of my face. It's extremely annoying...
I wonder why my phone doesn't lock and all of yours do...?
Soultion???
Possible Solution for the problem at hand. Started when I began using a task killer. So make sure you HAVE an android process called "Call settings" in your ignore list when using a task killer. The call settings process will only start on the first incoming call after a boot. So your first call or two would work fine until any task killer kills the call settings process. I have been able to replicate this. And have not had it happen since figuring this out.
Reboot. Call device from another method to get "Call settings" to appear in your running processes list and add to ignore list.
good day.
Interesting thank you so much for posting it was quite an annoying problem.
I just had my roommate call my phone after killing the process. Im using advanced task manager and do not see a "call settings". I do see a task called "phone" though.
what task manager are you using?
Thanks for the fix, im 90% sure this is a reliable fix and makes plenty of since. Mine started after i downloaded advanced task manager. And i use it often to kill background tasks to make sure they arent running.

Advanced Task Manager by:Infolife (on the market) and FREE
I just use it for the one touch kill widget with memory display below the little guy. I never did like the always running auto kill stuff I prefer to do it when I see fit. But on fresh boot opened ATM and ignored all things android and the obvious apps you want running. Like I said, it is not until your first incoming call that the call settings process will appear to be able to add that to ignore list.
good day.
Thanks for the info but I must be missing something. Just tried to get call settings listed in running processes & it doesn't show after following the steps listed. Could you be more specific about what it's called?

Call settings is the name of the process. It seems not all task managers list android processes but still muck with them somehow. But the one I listed above did show the android processes running. On reboot "call settings" will not appear in the running processes list until you receive an incoming call. And that should explain why first couple calls would work fine until a task killer had its way. Took a screen of my ignore list so you can see it. If I stop that call settings process the first outgoing or incoming call will be locked.
good day.
Are you running stock d101? I got the same task manager from the market & have rebooted & called from a different phone multiple times and can't get call settings to show in the processes list. What am I doing wrong?

DI01 rooted and voodooed. Answer the call and it should show up.
good day.
Call settings still won't show but phone did & so did samsung.phoneinfo so I put both on the ignore list and it seems to work. Thanks for your help on this, it was one of the most frustrating aspects of everyday usage.

On a somewhat related note, I noticed that when your phone is locked and you receive a call, the glass unlock option shows up and you can answer the call (or ignore/reject with message). But if you answer the call and then YOU want to hang up, it forces you to unlock the phone in order to reach the option to do so. Is there any way to have a glass unlock function for hanging up? Needing to unlock the phone to hang up a received call is EXTREMELY annoying...

The above is in my ignore list as well. Just don't do any auto killing keep an eye out for that call settings process I bet it will appear.
good day. From my voodooed Fascinate using the XDA app.
As mentioned above. Im running stock just rooted. And my call settings hasnt showed up at all. I did add phone and samsung.phoneinfo and it seems to have fixed it.

Silly question

I know this is a daft question, but my S3 has all of a sudden started to talk to me, telling me who's calling, reading texts etc, how do I turn it off??

Settings > Accessibility > Talk Back turn it off
I've checked that it's turned off?

There are two possibilities:
1. If you have any other accessibility services enabled, please disable them. It's a known Android bug.
2. You have driving mode enabled. Check the toggles im the notification bar.

member68...got it...driving mode enabled....thank you very much:good:
This is weird mine started talking back yesterday, when I open a folder it describes my actions, when I unlock it beeps twice, but it won't read my txt messages or tell me who calls.
I've checked my phone it is not in driving mode and the accessibility services are disabled.
I really do not want to reset the phone! Any idea?
Thanks

No push notifications in sleep mode

Hi everybody.
I just bought a Samsung S3 but I have a problem..
Every time I put my phone in standby, after 5-10 minutes the phone stops getting push notifications (fb, whatsup). I need to turn it on and after that everything's fine..
I tried do update to android revolution hd 17.1 but I still get this problem..
I've already tried to set Wi-Fi to always off, checked all notification setting but to no avail..
Is there a way to receive internet messages without turning on the phone every 5 minutes?

Their is a refresh setting of almost every internet app, try to change those. And check whether Do Not Disturb option in the notification panel is not on.
Hit Thanks if this helped.
Disable smart alert in 'motion' and that should fix it
Especially if you have a broken/malfunctioning proximity sensor

Sorry but I can't find any refresh setting in phone settings or whatsapp options. Can you please tell me where can I find them?
Have you downloaded any deep sleep apps or Juice Defender/any other battery management app?

No I didn't.
I even did a hard reset 2 days ago. The only apps I have right now are whatapp and fb messanger
I just tried to uncheck "smart alert" but the problem persists.
Okay wait, when you say 'standby mode', you just mean you're locking it, right?
Assuming that the answer to my previous question is 'yes', tell me, when you turn your screen back on do you get a little notification on the bottom of the screen that says "You are now connected to (whatever your WiFi is called)" ?
He still doesn't receive texts I believe so this is not having the WiFi set to turn off at lock

My issue only occurs when in 3G. It seem the phone disconnects from 3g line when in deep sleep.
I've already tried to use different sims of different operators getting the same behaviour
If I connect my s3 to a wifi spot it always gets notifications instantly

Sound problems

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem and if anyone knows a solution. I am running the stock rom, but its rooted.
I am having problems with notification sounds, these two in particular:
1. In the hangouts app which I use also for SMS my notification sound does not sound when I set a text, it works when I get a hangout message, but not a SMS. I've tried setting it to different sounds and nothing. It vibrates, but no sound
2. Alarms, when my alarm goes off it sometimes only makes a sound for half a second then stops. It keeps vibrating and the screen still shows the alarm going off and I have to swipe the red circle to stop it, but half the time only a blip of sound. Again this is with all the different sounds. The timer also does it but not as often.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
I figured it out. When it was happening I also happened to realize that there was an application running in the background preventing me from turning up my media volume. So I went through all the running app processes and started killing them off until I had control over the media volume. Turned out to be OpenMic+. Uninstalled and now everything works as it should. I am sure there was some setting in openmic causing the problem and I could have probably turned it off but I never use it so uninstall was easier.

[Q] Disable Power Management Tips?

I've seen a few other threads for other devices on these rather annoying messages popping up, but the solutions in those don't seem to be valid anymore.
The two main solutions I found were to disable notifications for the apps "Extended Standby Mode Controller" or "Eco Mode Controller", but I have no such apps listed under Apps -> All so it seems they may have changed the name. I did search for com.Extended and com.Eco, along with com.sonyericsson.Extended / Eco but again, no luck there.
Normally these are a mild annoyance, but recently I've been using my phone more for YouTube, and if I get a notification whilst watching a fullscreened YouTube video, the notification bar and soft buttons don't vanish, meaning the top and side of the video are cut off. The only way to get away from that is to totally close the YouTube App and re-open it. This is annoying in itself, but watching YouTube videos means I'm more and more getting Power Management tips as the battery is run down.
Anybody know what the app controlling these notifications is called on the Z2? I'm running 4.4.4 rooted.
If you can't find which system app is notifying, did you try keep press on popped up notification and tap app info?
I haven't yet, but I'll give that a try the next time one pops up. To be honest, I had no idea I could do that
I use that method often. It works for me to finding app of the causing notification.
Well I was able to locate the App using that method, the app is "STAMINA mode", however even though I've turned off "Show Notifications" I still get the bloody Power Management Tips.
And the option to Disable the app is greyed out.
For now I've tried clearing the cache and Force Stopping it, but I suspect it will start running again later, or at the very least will need stopping whenever the phone is restarted.
I am rooted, so I suppose I could remove it, but I'd be worried about it potentially affecting the Sony ROM somehow.
