[Q] How to set task in Tasker for this... - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
When I talk on phone, my sensor for checking if I put the phone near my ear is lame so I usually press keys during call and I'm sick of it..
Some times after it happens I lock the phone by the power button but I don't remember it all the time so I wanna make a task for it..
I want a task that will turn off the screen display as soon as a call is on.. out going and in going both..
Can you help me build it please? I'm having troubles..
Thank you,
Yarden.

Screen Lock Question with Bluetooth Headset

Hi all,
Im liking the Hero a lot but i have one niggle. When i make calls i tend to use a bluetooth headset. So as u can imagine i dial / select contact, press DIAL and then i would normally put the phone in my pocket.
Only i cant coz the screen is still active. Grrrrrrr. I have to wait for the 15 sec lowest time out to activate before i can do that.
On my ELF i just used to dial then once ringing, press the power button to shut the screen off. On the hero this action disconnects the call.
ARGHHHHHHH hehe. Guys i have looked in the tools section in the market place but cant seem to find anything that will help.
can anyone help me out here with tips / tricks or an app ??? I just want to press something that will turn the screen "off" without disconnecting the call
Thanks guys,
AndyG

[Q] Need to disable "Mute, On hold & Speaker" button during a call

PLEASE HELP!
I always have a problem with my phone X10i when i make some calls.
The problem is I pressed mute, speaker, END or on hold button (some of them) by accident (Pressed by my ear).
I checked my phone sensor already and it works fine. May be it happened from the way I held my phone.
But I just want to know how to get a rid of all those buttons from the screen during a call.
Is there anyway I can use some apps to hide all these buttons?
I believe that phone screen is built in the Rom. Thats probably modifying the Roms phone screen. You could probably do it if u know how to modify roms. I dont. I just mod phones with new firmware from xda.

Use to happen to me frequently,I enabled the proximity sensor and use left hand mode now.That solved it for me
U can use shakeawake tool. It works pretty fine. It has a cheek guard feature which detects when your face is touching the screen

will try that with the left hand mode, sounds promising ^^
i hate it, one cannot have a call for more than 5minutes without pressing sthg. -.-
and most annoying my ear LOVES the End button ^^

Same here. I do put the calls on hold very often. :-(
I do this on my G2X all the time. My proximity sensor seems to be working properly. I just went to Settings > Call settings > Always Use Proximity and checked it. Apparently orientation always trumps proximity so we will see if this fixes my issue.
Problem SOlved
ON my HTC One I downloaded Call Screen Lock and I have enabled long press to unlock feature, I also enabled HTC One feature Power button ends call,
I often wonder how is HTC surviving without a law suit from someone with a ear damage. I had soo many times speaker suddenly shouting in my ear. Almost did hit the phone with anger onto the wall.
is there any app that disable the Mute hardkey shortcut (vol up + power) on Android? I accidentally hit it all the time when using volume buttons eg. screenshot

[Q] Slow to wake up to end call

Does anyone have an idea how to get the GS2 to wake up (switch the screen on) a bit quicker when wanting to hang up?
It still take ages (latest f/w), and I find the call is already terminated by the time the screen wakes to allow me to press the red button.
It's great that this thing takes 1080p videos, has a wonderful screen etc etc, but it's a phone ffs.
I am having this issue as well and would like to know any suggestions to fix the issue.

Hi you can choose either of the following options;
Turn off Proximity sensor
Settings > Call > Turn off Proximity sensor
Configure Power button to end call
Settings > Call > Call answering/ending > The power key ends calls
I am using Power button to end call.. It helps to end call just by pressing power button instead of waiting for the screen to wake up..
Hope it helps...
Ah, nice one. Should have found that really, shouldn't I.
Thanks for that - will use the power button thing.
Same problem here. using Power button to end call works fine .
Problem is, I hung up on my mum last night trying to wake the phone.

[Q] Phone screen wakes up during call on my pocket

The title pretty much explains it all, while I'm on a call with my earphones the phone screen wakes up while in my pocket and I usually press the silent button (with my leg I guess) or the speaker, it's really annoying and I want to know if there's any way to stop this.
Thanks in advance.

My screen is locked with a pattern, would it make a difference?
In case someone has the same problem the only solution that I've found so far is when the call is on press the home button so it gets "minimized" to the taskbar and then lock your phone, so that if it gets unlocked accidentally you won't press anything by mistake in the call window.
I think a solution would be that even if you answer a call with the phone in your pocket, which was locked before the call, the next time that you unlock it the call window isn't the first thing that appears, I'm still open to suggestions, thanks.

For those just got the Z2, remember to turn off the tap to wake

If you turn it on, during call, if proximity sensor pick up and Off the screen, at this moment, if you tap the screen, the call will drop.
Anyone, good in using Tasker app can help to offer a solution?

I've never had this problem. Maybe you need to modify how you hold the device during a call?
I do have a problem with pocket accessing sometimes, where the screen will turn on and skip my music tracks, pause and rewind hahah.
...and your device will explode..
Nonsense...
I'm using Z2 from May and this is the first time I even heard something like this..

I can confirm this, i had to disable tap-to-wake to ensure i dont end calls. It seems like a typpical case of YMMV though. I know for a fact that it caused my cheek to end calls.

It will only drop the call if you checked the "Power button end calls" setting in Accessibility.
Double tapping on the screen while is off acts like pressing the power button.
I had my brainstorm session because of that Sony bug
Hi Vangogu, you are right, thanks, now I can use the tap to wake function.
But I still think it is a software bug. Sony should prevent the power button off during call and with proximity sensor activated.
