that defeats the purpose of the lock. the lock is to keep everyone that doesn't know the pattern out of your phone. if someone did get a hold of your phone and a call came then all they would need to do is answer the call hang up and use the phone freely.
I believe, the scenario is this:
Even when the phone is not locked before a call, and regardless of whether the call is originated or answered, when you hang up the phone using the red button, it locks the screen. That means if I want to make 2 calls in a row, I must unlock the phone after each call is over.
This does not happen 100% of the time - I have seen a couple of cases when I hang up and the screen does not lock, but I have not been able to figure out how it decides whether to lock the screen or not when I hang up on a call. In my opinion, the screen should never be locked by hanging up on a call, unless it was locked when the call was answered.
This is one of the more irritating behaviors of the phone - I hope for a change to make the red button function be sensitive to the call state and not lock the phone when it is used to hang up.

Maybe the other party hung up before you pressed the "end call" button. This may cause the G1 to think you are locking the screen instead of trying to end the call. Try not pressing the end call button and just wait for the other party to disconnect the call. Not sure if it will work....its just a theory that I am too lazy to test..

this is the exact behavior i was describing and i too get the mixed results, sometimes it locks and sometimes it doesnt. i guess i will have to test out the theory of not eating end call and letting the other caller end the call.

Was just wondering if anybody else is experiencing this problem. When i make or receive a phone call my screen goes off and will not under any circumstances turn back on until the call is ended. I was just calling a company that requires me to select number to get to the right department and i couldn't because the screen is off and there is no way to turn it on to get to the number pad and hit the right key... Worst part about it is that the automated answering system does hangup so the only way for me to end the call was to pull the battery. Anybody have any idea what could be causing this? perhaps a faulty proximity sensor?
Incase anybody asks yes i tried hitting the power/wake key on the top and any and all buttons but still the screen remains off durring calls until the other party hangs up and it kicks me back out to the homescreen.
Sounds like a fault light/proximity sensor. My screen turns off as I place it near my ear, and then turns back on when I pull it away, just as it should.
Yea i was thinking the same thing. Looks like i will have to make my way back to the store durring lunch to get a replacement device...
Hi, I have a huge problem. Every time I make a call, preferably my voicemail, it asks me to press a number in the keypad.
Okay, that's fine. But the only problem is the screen blacks out immediately when the call is made and I cannot choose any of the options. I'm still in the call, although it will repeat the options for about a minute and just end the call.
I can't end the call manually or use the keypad. Tried pressing the lock button, the search, the menu, and Back button. Nothing seems to work.
Is there anything I can do about this? Because this is really becoming a hinderance.
Hi the proximity sensor should brighten the display up the moment you take it away from your ear, if it dosent prpbably there is a problem with it and you need to check it out with either the provider or HTC if you can.
normally to end call you click on the notification on top of the phone.
It is kinda annoying there is no physical button to end calls but i guess thats touchscreens for you
Probabily you use one case
that cover the proximty sensor
I don't use any case or screen protiction... maybe I should to replace it...Thanks..

I had the same problem. Hard reset solved it. Also solved a problem I had connecting with intermittent connections to Wifi. I think a bum app may have caused the problems.
Starting to happen again, not like last time though. Now it's intermitent and seem to recover when the other end hangs up. May try to get a replacement phone this time.
From what I've seen around the internet this is an OS issue... And it happens to me intermittently as well, though my lock button brightens the display... It seems to have something to do with the screen timeout and the lock screen enabling itself...
Mine had the same issue.
I would pull it away from my face, nothing.
Laid it down flat, nothing
Occasionally it would flash.
I had to return it, no problems since.
The sensor must have been loose and slid behind the open area of the glass.
If you can still, get a replacement
My replacement is in the mail. I have found that if I shake or tap the phone it will flicker and come back during a call. I think the sensor is faulty.
I'm having quite a few issues with my ROM'd Z phone using Paranoid. I've recently updated to the latest version as soon as I was alerted.
1. The lock screen freezes, or rather becomes limited in responsiveness. I use the swipe up to unlock. When I swipe up, the clock/notifications just bounces and eventually the screen goes dark, then off. Sometimes I can reset using the power menu, but often the screen is totally unresponsive so I have to do a hard reset. On occasion I have to reset multiple times consecutively because it locks up immediately after boot... until its finally usable again. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7OGcalUJSgHblZob2Q2eHNkLU0
2. The phone gets hot in my pocket. When I notice this, often it has unlocked, turned on GPS, turned on the LED, taken photos and opened apps, or a combination of things. Sometimes even made a phone call, either to a contact or a recent from the log.
3. Recently I noticed it randomly ghost selecting right in front of me. I was unable to unlock and had to hard reset the phone.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7OGcalUJSgHVmJhQ0FOUDdLQkE
4. I am not getting SMS alerts from Optus 321 telling me I have messages from when the phone was off, or out of service range. Often I won't know till I randomly check days later, or when I miss a call (while on another call or in service range) and they leave a message.
5. Sound drops in and out from the other party. They can always hear me. Randomly, on some calls. I can have 3 good conversations, then the next I have to call back multiple times before I get enough up time.
5a. When I'm making a call, I may not even hear the outgoing ringing tone.
6. On any new call, the the volume on my Bluetooth headset is usually down about half way. I click the Vol+ and it immediately jumps to full, the volume bar already being at full.
7. When it rings, it often takes a second or more (after the ring tone has started) for the screen to turn on.
On suggestion by a friend, I disabled a lot of notifications, but the lock screen still won't unlock even when the only thing showing is the clock.
I guess there is problems with the the phone hardware, the ROM or incompatibilities with it and an APP.
Is there some diagnostics, or an app that I can run that will log what is going on and I can have someone look at those logs for me?
You should ask in Paranoid Support Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zl/orig-development/rom-paranoid-android-5-t2992023
Thankyou. I could not find it.
edit: That thread is closed. There is a link at the end for a 'new home', but that thread is under Xperia ZL. Is the ZL considered the same phone?
I'm really sorry.
i gave you a wrong link. Shame on me.

Hi guys,
I am really enjoying my new S10+ just like many of us on this great forum. However, it has caught my attention that when there is an incoming call (when the device is locked), I have to unlock it with a pattern (my method of unlocking besides the finger print) before I can answer the call.
I don't remember that I have to do that on my Note 9, so I am just wondering if there is a setting that I can change to make it easier to answer calls when the device is locked?
Thank you for your input

You do not need to unlock the phone to answer your call. To Answer a phone call on a Samsung phone, you'll need to touch the Green Call Icon and drag your finger outside of the circle toward up. At least it works this way on my S10+.

It is weird that I see this whenever someone calls me
on phone setting, you can use volume up to answer.
I can't see any setting that would cause that. Odd situation indeed. What happens if you tap the "return to call" button without entering the PIN?
Also, just to make sure, you don't have a Bixby Routine set to do something when an incoming call comes in, do you?

If I tap on the "Return to call", it will let me see the normal calling screen without having to entering the PIN.
I don't use Bixby Routine at all, so it shouldn't be related to Bixby.
Every Phone calls need to unlock the screen before answering the calls
Hi All,
RE: Samsung Galaxy S10 plus.
My wife's phone needs to first unlock the screen before she is able to answer it.
I do have the same phone and I don't have to do that.
Where are the Settings to disable that behavior?
Thank you
DO NOT DISTURB MODE (DND)
By chance do you have this activated? When I changed the setting in DND to receive "Full Screen Notifications" I was no longer required to unlock phone to answer calls.
Just like the title says how do I keep the phone unlocked while I am talking? Nothing more obnoxious than being on hold for a long time and then the person finally answers and I have to fumble around trying to get my crappy fingerprint sensor to work and then unmute him. I've had people hang up on me in that time while I'm jacking around with unlocking it.
