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.

This annoys me too but I don't know how to fix it.

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?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
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.
i have tried everything. Even did a factory reset and installed NOTHING but synicng my google mail, contacts and calander and after a few hours of sitting there i check the battery and it shows awake Allot. like it seems to wake up every few min, small little lines all over the graph. when the screen is off.
i have wifi off now, and my phone is not active (im on my X), set to CDMA and its still waking up. i have set all the settings that i can think of to off that would make it wake up....
any ideas what so ever? last night i let it sit there all night on wifi, and went to bed with 100% woke up to 60% with massive awake time...
please help this is the only thing making me want to leave the razr...
Thank you
Try enabling the battery extender profile in smart actions. It cuts background sync/GPS if the phone is not charging or in motion.

Only when the screen is off, when unlocked everything will turn back on and your emails will come through.
yeah, thats the thing though...i use gtalk allot...dont care about the emails but i use gtalk
I don't have the battery extender smart action on and I'm getting amazing standby time better than my nexus s with mostly the same apps. I'm thinking it must be an app that's causing you battery problems.

Try os monitor, its free in the market & can help you narrow down what's running. System Tuner has a free version as well & can help you see how your running processes/services are acting. The pro version even gives a start up monitor so you can freeze or prevent certain things from running at all.

Someone started a thread a while back on this, but I wanted to start my own hoping that this issue may get a little more attention, and keep a detailed thread for future use. I love this phone, but this is the one significant issue that I have.
I spend most of my day and evening on wifi since I have it available at work and home. I've noticed since day one that I wasn't getting my notifications on time specifically in Gtalk, and still exists to this day after the latest 2.13 OTA update. When I hear my phone get a notification, I will check it, and the notification has a timestamp in the notification drop down, so I know I got it just then, but then in gtalk the timestamp on my message is several minutes earlier. I have seen it as much as 45 minutes late. It is very noticeable whenever I turn on the screen that instantly I get a notification. The issue exists with all push notifications. Gmail notifications will arrive late as well as exchange notifications. I've seen reports about it happening with WhatsApp messenger. It has been theorized on other forums that the wifi radio goes too deep into sleep for the notification to wake the phone up.
My wifi policy is set to stay on always. I've tried factory resetting. I know that the wifi stays connected while it is sleeping and is not disconnecting. I've tried multiple wireless networks. I've tried 2.4ghz vs 5ghz. It has nothing to do with smart sync disabling data as this is happening during the day and not between the hours of 12am and 7am.
I have done a lot of searching on Google about this issue, and I've determined that it is an issue with the entire line of HTC One series phones. People have reported this issue on the One X (International and ATT), the One S, Incredible 4g, and of course many other reports on the Evo LTE.
I have compiled many of these reports in a thread I opened on HTCs support forum site here: http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/222/p/15183/62995.aspx#62995
Please feel free to test this yourself. Connect to wifi, turn your screen off, send yourself a gtalk message from a separate account. If it comes in on time, wait about a minute and try again. If it doesn't come in, wait as long as you can stand or just turn the screen on, and see your notification come in. I tested this on a friend's Evo LTE who insisted he wasn't having the issue, and I was able to duplicate this. It seems that most people must not use wifi as much as I do, and maybe just haven't noticed.
Current solutions / workarounds:
Turn on Best Wifi Performance in the advanced wifi settings - kills battery
The best solution that someone found on another forum was to use an app called REGPON Wifi KeepAlive. It is an app that puts a partial wakelock on the phone in order to keep it from going into deep sleep. Check both boxes included in the app. The first starts the process, and the second will turn it off when wifi is disconnected. This doesn't have a huge effect on battery as I thought it would since it is putting a wakelock on the phone. I actually get very good battery life still, and can last through the day with heavy usage. It's nowhere near the significant drain that you get with the Best Wifi Performance option.
What if you set wifi to sleep when the screen goes off?

That could be considered a workaround, and I have tried it, but wifi doesn't go to sleep until after several minutes after you turn the screen off when you use that setting. Then of course mobile data kicks in and notifications come in on time.
now this may be a dumb question since i don't consider myself new to android, i've changed three android tablets so far, rooted my phone, installed and tweaked dozen of roms on it, so i know some relativelly average things about android, but this one puzzles me:
on both my tablet and phone i have facebook and gmail applications. they are basically the same .apks since i have a backup of them on a sd card and if i format one device, i often use restire the apps from the sd card.
and you know how you get an instant notification on your phone if you receive a fb message or an e-mail? that doesn't happen on my tablet. it seems that a couple of minutes after i turn off the display on my tablet, it drops the wifi connection (a power save thing i suppose).
is there any way to ensure a constant wifi connection on my tablet so that i receive email/fb notifications in real time and just not after i turn the display on?
this may be only an unchecked box in my network settings, but i really haven't noticed it
thanks for your help on advance

Go to Settings > Wireless & network settings > Press Menu > Advanced, and change Wi-Fi sleep policy to Never (or Never when plugged in, to avoid drain your battery)
thank you! i'll try to keep it turned on constantly, and see what the battery drain will be
Sent from my PMP5570C using Tapatalk HD
noup... i gave up after a few days... the battery drain is too big... even when it's pluged in, the charging process takes a lot since i'm almost constantly using it, in such a case, it almost doesn't charge

Have u tried using tasker?
U can use that app to like turn on Wi-Fi every half hour for a minute or so to check for notifications, and then turn off.
All automated
no, but that's an excellent idea! thank you for the suggestion! will install it and give it a try

hey... i need help with tasker... i seem to have programmed it to connect to wifi every 30 minutes, to check facebook, gmail and tapatalk, and the profile is on, according to on/off switch in tasker itself. but when i check notification icon, it says "no active" profiles.
also, i would like to write you how my profile looks like, but i don't know how i realize that tasker is a powerful app, with a lot of options, but they seem so complicated when trying to adjust them. :/
Sent from my PMP5570C using Tapatalk HD
Hmm...first try installing tasker as a system app and see if that fixes it. Also check accessibility settings as it may be listed there.
If the above doesn't work then it may be a problem with your profile.

well the problem with your first solution is that my tablet isn't roited so i can't install tasker in system/app, the other is that it might be a problem with my profile, but i realy don't know how to set it up... i mean, i tried, and i think it's good, but it doesn't have to be good. that's why i needed help in the first place

Has anybody else notice that the okay Google hot word detection does not work on the lock screen, does not work with the screen off and does not work from any screen..
I've tried several times resetting the settings in google settings /voice
Even the "always on" toggle itself gets stuck and won't turn on or off without turning off and on the main toggle..
Just verified this problem after playing a heavy game for while. OK Google bacically wont work anywhere at all, sometimes intermittently working only on home screem, but rarely,
Coincidentally I check ram usage In developer options while it won't work, its been in critical for the last few hours of use time.
My nexus 5 demonstrates no such issues, works all the time. Maybe its oom killer killing off the google search or play launcher apk, whatever apk that is tied into. Just guessing at this point
Yeah I'm having exactly the same issue. If you go into app Google settings under /voice the toggle are glitchy and stuck they won't move. I have to change the main toggle off and on, in order to reset the bottom two toggles.
Until I do this every time "okay Google" from the lock screen or screen off never works.
More people should check this on their nexus 9
I have the same problem. I'm considering resetting the device and upgrading to 5.0.1.
I'm on 5.0.1 issue exists

It's a very convenient way to do things without touching device. It's supposed to work.
Even on the nexus 6 it's periodic but on the nexus 9 most of the time it's not working unless I do a fresh restart

It's one of the reasons I bought the device. I use commandr and tasker to do things like WOL my PC, and I wanted a device that would always be listening so I can have those actions always at hand. The fact this is broken months after the device was released is disappointing, to say the least.
