Does your face push buttons? - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

More than any phone I had before, this phone uses my face to do random things. I'll hang up on people, open apps, turn on airplane mode, etc., all while I'm on a call! Anyone else have this issue?

I am having it too. It's extremely annoying. Random things pop up. Sometimes it's Facebook, and I wonder if my face "liked" someone's post. -_-

Not yet, no.

my proximity sensor randomly stops working which causes this to happen. it works again after a reboot.

Yeah, I've had that issue a few times. Some times it'll randomly have my screen turn on while I'm on the phone and I'll face touch all the things.

Same here. It drives me crazy! All too often my face hits the speaker button and about blows my eardrum out!

I havent had this happen. I did hear that the firmware 27 had this problem but they fix it in the 28.something build.

Never had this issue, running Trickdroid 5.6

hello

Thought it was just my face being a weirdo but yea it's happened to me a few times. usually a quick reboot fixes it. Though I suspect a background app is to blame when it does happen. Though it rarely does.

Yea happens a lot in my phone as well. I've actually stopped using the phone as is and only using BT or wired headsets....

Weird things that happen on New Leak.

I was on my way home from work and my son called. So I answered and was talking for about 2 mins, and right in the middle of our conversation I could hear my phone ring. I said hello Tyler are you still there then all of the sudden my mother in-law said hello. And my son was gone. It's like my phone randomly called someone. Plus my signal isn't very strong on the newest New leak. I also have had several dropped calls.

I have not tried the newest leak, but I flashed the one before that. I can tell you if you don't go through the ruu twice on that one, you can end up with a lot of bugs if you manage to even boot it. I have no idea if that is still necessary with the new leak, but it may help to flash it twice anyway.
Also, I have seen pretty good reviews regarding signal strength and the new radios..
I have not had those problems specifically with this leak but I HAVE had that calling issue if I don't hold the phone correctly, like if I hold it with my shoulder and try talking then the proximity sensor can enable the screen to come back on, then my ear presses a contact causing the phone to immediately dial.

I would not blame the leak I also have a screwy proximity sensor and the screen usually doesn't turn off causing many issues while on a call. I press the power button to turn the screen off before placing it up to ear to avoid having problems

I've flashed many roms and many leaks. I know roms and leaks have issues so I'm not blaming anything! I just haven't ever had this happen on a leak or ROM before. Just reporting it as it happens, that's all.

I dont mean to extend this thread as to there is one, but mine happens randomly, home screen sometimes, play store grey screen... random.
Same issue here see it on a daily basis. I notice it on the stock messaging app and twitter but happens other places as well.
I have had the same issue while typing on stock sms and/or just typing in general. It doesn't happen all the time but it happens.

[Q] Screen glitches with response

I apologize in advance if this question is in the wrong place.
I am on Deck's 11-24 build from IRC and hoping that it fixes the problem I've been having.
Sometimes my phone will go crazy and the screen will start reacting as though some phantom is using it. The screens pan around, random apps will open, random buttons will be pressed, etc. Usually, I have to shut the scree off and wait a few seconds for it to go back to normal. If it isn't that happening, sometimes the screen becomes completely unresponsive.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues.
I am S-ON
Have been dirty flashing
Wasn't flashing the kernel of each new nightly
Have flashed (using Flash Image GUI) the kernel for TD 11-24 build
Yeah I have expierenced that myself and I'm on mean Rom 6.4

Dingdingding. Already got one replaced a few months ago but this one is showing symptoms now too. Easy way to know it is happening is to enable show touches in developer options.

Widgetlocker Delay

Howdy!
I am suddenly experiencing a delay with WidgetLocker. When I hit the power button to wake my phone there is a 1-2 second delay with the clock. It doesn't sound like a lot but it takes a millisecond to check the time. I have never seen this before and its a really jarring experience to read 9:20 and then have it flash to 9:45 right as I click to relocl the screen.
I've done multiple searches and can't find anything other than one post that said this is normal since the phone is waking from "deep sleep" and there will always be a delay. I don't think this is right since I have used WidgeLocker on multiple phones over the last year or so and never noticed this. Its pretty hard to miss.
Any ideas or suggestions? I've tried rebooting, checked for updates, etc.
Thanks.

I would point to this as the problem. Even without widgetlocker this occurs. Not sure what rom you are on, if any, but have you tried the zero wake lag options? It stopped the problem for me.
I am on Beans 9. I recently had to do a restore from nandroid. I wonder if a setting didn't restore fully. I will check it out.
Is there any downside to zero lag options? Just wondering why it wouldn't be default.
Thanks!

Screen sensor bug

Has anyone experienced issues with the screen sensor not responding well while on a call?
Sometimes if you lock the screen while on a call and you try to unlock it the screen with shut off as soon as you touch it and will remain on that behavior until the call is ended, therefore not letting you unlock the phone or perform any other activities on the phone.
Anyone?

Yes! It happens to me rather frequently. Thanks for starting this post. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

It's funny because this is the 2nd HTC phone that I can report with this bug. I had the Evo 4G LTE before this one and it suffered the same issue even after all official updates.
The only solution with that phone was to flash a custom ROM which was good, but up to now I'm still on the fence about rooting this one; stock on this phone is stable and bloatware is minimal, I haven't justified taking the plunge yet.

I'm with you there. I did root mine... but only for data restore purposes. It may sound crazy.. but I don't want SwiftKey to start over with learning my typing habits. Other than that, like you, this phone and my Nexus 4 are the only two phones that I have had no desire to install a custom ROM. Fingers crossed that there is a solution other than that.

Yes, happened with me quite a few times. Once a call is initiated (phone speaker on or off) and the screen goes black (due to proximity sensor), no amount of tinkering will bring it back until you press the power button which kills the call. It is damn annoying and am hoping there is a fix.
The phone is on 1.29 M7 TMobile ROM, rooted with S-OFF
I had that problem too on LG L7. Tried with various roms and nothing. But I fixed somehow with the app called "proximity actions". It lets you command your phone with hand suggestion via proximity sensor. I only installed it to check the hardware, wether the sensor works. I have no idea what happened, but it started to work again. The app somehow toggled the sensor and brought it back to life.

Not sure if all ROMs have the option but you can go in to the accessibility options and turn off power button ends call.

I've noticed this issue has significantly increased amongst other things like freezing since I unlocked my bootloader. :what:

Never once has this happened to me. Bone stock.
Guess that's another reason I don't trust "IMAROM CHEFS!" ROMs that are "cooked up" on some random internet user's computer.
Stock is fine these days, IMO. Outgrew the glitchy nature of kitchen ROMs and such.

Been using ROMs for years and I've hand,y ups and downs, I can't say I've had a horrible experience with any ROM I've used on any of my past phones. Now I do agree with you about the stability of stock ROMs these days and also the better specs of the phone. For instance I haven't rooted nor unlocked my phone because I personally feel that the delivered product is good and haven't felt the necessity to tinker with it. The issue described is with stock, not custom ROM.
With that said or you haven't had the scenario for it to happen or your just the lucky one....
