I thought the screen shuts off when you're in the middle of a call (proximity sensor?). On the iPhone, when you're in the middle of the call, it shuts the screen off when its by your face just so you don't hit anything like mute, etc...
Any way to get around this? Thanks

Mine shuts off the screen when your face is close to it.
Settings -> Call Settings, do you have Keep screen awake checked?
I don't see that option. Settings, then call settings... I see voicemail, call forwarding... That's pretty much it. Running Stock 2.1
Mine has done this a couple times now,i'll be talking to someone and all of a sudden start hearing beeps as if hitting the numbers on the keypad. First time it happened I thought it was the person on the other end but it happened again last night and I looked at the phone after I got off the call and it had #2* or something like that in the dialer so something is definitely weird here.

are you using a screen protector/skin/case ... anything?
mine has never given a problem.
so far.
Maybe you have a really skinny head that's not passing the sensor?

Nope, I imagine this will happen to everyone at some point though. It doesn't happen very often, it just out of the blue will happen one day. I guess the more you talk on the phone the more likely you will be to eventually experience it Maybe it has something to do with enabling the keypad? As that is what I did last night to punch in an extension.
This problem happened with my gf, when she had a droid. For some reason while she was talking on the phone the screen wouldn't always stay off and she would bump the on screen buttons with her cheek and end up usually trying to add a new caller to the call, thus muting whom she was talking to. She also had a lot of problems with the Capacitive touch screens, it wouldn't register half the time where she touched.
I've never had this happen to me, I doubt it actually will. It must be something related to how we hold our phones, and where it lines up to peoples differently shaped heads.

Never happened to me in 2-3 years with the Iphone. To act like it is happening because we are holding the phone wrong is a bit absurd, I mean it's not exactly a complicated process I will try and figure out what's happening, haven't paid much attention to it yet because I figured it was a fluke but it happened twice now and is happening to other people.
One thing I noticed last night was the phone screen was still blacked out while the beeps happened so it's not a sensor thing the screen is actually blacking out it's just being activated again by something that happens after it's off I assume.
I'm not using a case or anything. It NEVER happened to me with the iPhone, but it happens quite often with the Nexus One. VERY annoying... It should be like the iPhone, where when its by your face, it shuts off the screen AND disable the touch buttons below the screen.
I think its the touch buttons causing the problem... Because my screen does turn off when its by my face.

This is the behavior I experience with my nexus one (stock and custom roms). As soon as I place it near my face the proximity sensor turns off the screen.
The capacitive buttons below the screen are disabled when the screen turns off for me as well. I just called in to voice mail and hit every one while the screen was off due to the proximity sensor, not a single response from any button or the screen and no change in call status when I moved the phone away and the screen came back on.

Yea it's some kind of fluke, It happens so randomly I am thinking it might be something to do with the internet connection like checking mail or maybe the GPS doing something that wakes up the buttons while the proximity sensor keeps the screen off because everything will be fine then all of a sudden it happens while the screen is still blacked out.
Sounds like a factory reset might fix this issue... definitely not normal behavior.
I think this is happening to a bunch of people. I don't think a factory reset would help. I think its a bug...

No it's not a normal behaviour you are correct however it's not anything a factory reset is going to fix either. It's some kind of software bug that once enough people experience it will get sorted, just a matter of time before enough people start complaining to bring it to attention of Google or HTC.

Are you accidentally hitting the volume buttons on the side of the phone? It sounds like you might be turning the in call volume down, thus leading to it being muted.
^^ No... My face actually hits the mute button. I then have to click the mute button with my finger once i realize the person can't hear me and then they start hearing me again after I click it.
It happens with other buttons on the screen too.

Figured I would ask... I sell cell phones, and I get about 1 person a day in that has muted their in call volum by accidently hitting the volume toggle button without knowing it... all different phones (BB's are the worst!).
Anyways, my proxy sensor works perfect! I even just tested it a bit, and it senses a single finger tip starting about 1" away from the screen anywhere along the top of the screen... worked on both the left and right side and everywhere in between just fine.
I use my phone a lot at work in call (calling in to CS, calling the manager, etc) and have not had a single proxy sensor issue in the week I have had my phone.

May not be normal, but its not a bug that seems to be effecting all phones. Same thing that not everyone is experiencing random touch events, 2g/3g toggling, or dust/dogfooding. To say every phone has this problem because you do is simply short sighted.

LOL shortsighted eh? It's a bug it will happen to more and more people eventually and you will see, i'm sure it will happen to you eventually as well. Only thing shortsighted is your reply.
Good day to you sir.
Hi, i bought my nexus for about 1 month ago, yesterday i noticed something weird happens when it is vibrating (when receiving a call)...
If i hold the phone vertically (screen or camara heading to me) it vibrates just fine... BUUUT
If i hold the phone horizontally (screen or camara heading to the ceiling) it vibrates making a weird sound, just if like my phone is loose...
Does anyone have this trouble?
its normal, its just the camera auto focus mechanism rattling. your phone is not broken, they all do this. no worries.
Are you 100% sure about it?
Thanks pal!
yep its the autofocus in the camera
well! thanks to both of you!
now i can calm down... i was so ****ing paranoic about it!
Its so hard to me because y live in central america, i bought it using a proxy and a curier brought it to me... Practically i have not warranty! lol
Mine doesn't do this o_0..
...
really?
I believe it doesn't, I tested it in every direction and angle, and my camera's auto focus does not cause any rattling when being vibrated.
mmm very weird!
it seems to be a random thing!...
shake your phone you should hear it
I have to hit the camera button 2-3 times in order to start the app. It doesn' t matter whether the screen is turned on or off. But it works nicely and sensitive as soon as the camera app is running so I hope it's somehow software related.
Anyone else experiencing this?

It is working just fine for me. You have to consider the camera button has two pressure points. One usually to focus and a harder one to shoot. The first pressure point will not trigger the app.
I'm well aware of this and it really works perfectly in app. Maybe I'm simply to impatient when I quickly want to take a pic...
To open camera app you need to hold that button...

Right, it takes about 0.5 seconds...
It's also a vast improvement over the Z1C button, which was way too stiff and using it often caused camera shake for me because you had to press so hard. The Z3C has found just the right balance between sensitivity and 'clickability' without it triggering asccidentally all the time, IMHO. It's now actually easier to use the button than the on-screen one in most situations.
Hello Guys,
Can anyone help me with my Home, Back and other button? its been unresponsive since yesterday.
You need to find the right spot before its response to my touch.
Also when the screen is in landscape while playing, the buttons totally unresponsive and i cannot quit to some games or apps. Needs to open the setting then make the screen portrait before it will become responsive.

Try uninstalling recent applications, it happened with Gravity Screen and resolved by updating to the latest version.
or u can use toucher pro..it has the same buttons below
Anyone notice that you can't landscape and use the forward slide on a YouTube video..using the youtube app on the note 9.?
I been playing with it over the last few days.. both button volume side and on/off are the same..
Seems to be the curved screen is not responsive..as the slide hits about that point..
I don't have a screen protector on and haven't got it set for that sensitivity..(setting for screen protector under setup)..
It works in portrait mode..I thought it might be the YouTube app having a bug..but just did an update and still the same..
Actually dam annoying..

Really?
I am trying it now and I can't forward or backwards on it in landscape..
Be interested to see if anyone else is getting this problem..
I don't think I have turned any setting off on screen controls..
Edits..
Actually just went in and turned on the sensitivity on..
(For glass protector in settings)..
And went back into YouTube and it worked..
Then turned it off and now it working fine..
So there ya go.. a glitch in the software..
As it's been annoying me for a few days..
I did have sensitivity turned on for a few days as had a protective cover..but didn't like it so took it off and turned it off..some where in that screwed with the YouTube app..or touch sensitive on the part of the screen.. will keep an eye on it and report back if it pops up again..
Works for me as well.
