hey does anyone know why the phones "click" every now and then when the screen is off? it seems to happen if im moving in the car or out and about. the "click" is the same as the "screenlock sound". the phone clicks, the screen turns on then off again and as littlie as ten secs later, does it again. also sometimes clicks without the screen turning on. turned off wifi and gps but it still does it. it doesn't seem to matter what rom im running either. does it have something to do with refreshing the data? is there any way to keep the screenlock sound but disable this random clicking? its a bit annoying!
That does sound weird (pun intended). Do you have a case on the phone that might be "bumping " buttons while in your pocket?
Have you tested all your notifications to make sure its not a corrupted audio file trying to play?

When I'm making a call with my Samsung Galaxy S I9000, the proximity sensor seems a bit... well... unefficient.
Usually, if I need to do something with both hands, like going through papers or using a computer during a call, I put the phone between my ear and my shoulder to hold it. Usually when held like this, the phone isn't entirely pushed against my ear/cheek, so the proximity/light sensor reacts to pretty much everything. When it reacts, the screen is turned on and my cheek sometimes pushes the mute(or speaker or end call) icon, and that gets really frustrating as it happens multiple times during a call, and you can't really notice it.
So you may imagine how it's like to keep on jabberin about something and then you hear your friend going "Hello? You still there? " and then you just go "****, AGAIN!?".
I was simply wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there is a fix for it. I have been looking all over the web for an app or a mod to disable the proximity during the call, so that the screen would simply go off only if you press the screen lock button. Or so that the screen would at first use the proximity sensor and then disable itself, so that the screen would go on only if you press the lock or home key.
I have been thinking about trying to solve this problem with creating an app through the SDK, but I still kind of lack the knowledge of creating such things (with being busy studying and stuff).
So, if anyone knows an app already or has found a way to solve this problem, I'd be greatful of your advice.
I have the same problem with the proximity sensor on my Samsung Focus.
Probably there are work arounds for this issue - but IMHO the proximity sensor is too sensitive and phone call UI is not very well design (end call button should be at the bottom of the page opposed to the top where it's not and is very easy to press it accidentaly with our ears/cheeks/etc.)
Since Samsung isn't fixing this, why don't you try Sanity app from market. It has many options along with the option to switch off the screen during the call.
Give it s try.

I have this problem since th beginning, with my FOcus. Any luck fixing this? I did increase the count to 75 through the Diagnose mode. But I still constantly find my phone on hold or on speaker or on mute while on call. Please help!!!
Hey guys,
I've noticed that my phone's Loudspeaker stays on and does not turn off (it makes a quiet shshshshshsh sound) as usual after 2 or 3 seconds after playing a sound it should turn off. but it doesnt.
This happens randomly, and i cant find exactly when it happens, and i have to soft reset the phone to make it right.
it uses a lot of battery power. when i feel that the phone eats up battery, i put the phone near my ear and there is shshshshshsh noise.
but after soft reset, it has great battery life.
any reason?!!
I just noticed this sound today! it is weird! wth is up with it? is htc aware?

So this is not my phone's problem only. I think the os causes the problem.
I've found that this happens after receiving SMS, if i'm in sms page (where i type message) and screen is turned off.
(in the sms page it playes a ding sound instead of sms tone. but sometimes when screen is turned off, it plays both 'Ding' and sms tone. in this case loudspeaker stays on with a noise, and eats up battery)
It should happen with every WP, so dont be worried.

same speaker problem with my HD7 !
any solution ? i don't think other phones have same issue. most probably it is HD7 bug.

Mine does this also, when it stays on i get no message tone or ringtone when i get a call or text, its very anoying! if i re start the phone it's ok for a while.
I'm tired of my phone doing weird stuff in my pocket. Every time I hang up a call on my bluetooth earpiece, my phone wakes back up in my pocket and tries to dial some random number. I thought the proximity sensor would keep the screen from coming on if the phone was in your pocket. Is there a way to adjust this?

Yeah, I get this too. I'll be listening to music through wired headphones get a notification. Then find out my phone is surfing the web, or has various apps open. I couldn't even find the option to use the sensor to keep screen off while in my pocket. I suppose setting a harder screen lock option would keep it off. I had finger print set but cant use that anymore as I'm back to work and my finger print changes daily. (Hard labor)

Does someone have a fix or know of a setting so that the proximity sensor turns the phone off when slid into a pocket? Screen turns off when i put it to my ear. Why not when i put it in my pocket? I know Better Keyguard is available to do this, i just don't understand why it isnt available on Play Store.

There are many apps that use the sensor like Smart Screen Off lite. I personally have not tried one. I just set a pattern code lock however it's a very simple pattern that can be easily done with one hand. It does keep my music from being changed while I am listening to it.
Didnt the s3 have a pocket mode that sensed the ambient light and proximity and hard locked the screen?
Or this app

Hi all,
I've come across a couple of problems with the phone that I've put down to manufacturing, but I'm not really seeing anyone else complain about them. I'd just like to see if anyone else is experiencing these issues or if I should have my phone replaced under warranty.
Issue 1: Microphone.
During a call, people can hear me clearly, but if I switch to speakerphone (or use an app like Skype or Viber, which usesspeakerphone for video calls), they have trouble hearing me. I know there is an issue where the mic stops working for some people, but mine is still working...only I sound very faint to the other person. If I bring my face right up to the phone and speak, they can hear me somewhat clearly, but it defeats the purpose holding it to my face when I'm in a video call.
Issue 2: Screen touches during a call.
I've noticed that when in a regular call, the screen turns off when I bring the phone to my face, and turns back on as I pull the phone away, which is fine. The problem is though, that while the screen is off and pressed to my ear, shortly after the light of the screen turns back on and it seems I've been pressing things with my ear, e.g. pulled down the notification shade, opened an app on my home screen or opened my app drawer, etc. Is anyone else noticing the screen turning back on mid-call? Or does anyone know if the screen still responds to touches even though the backlighting is off? Or is this an iPhone 4-esque situation where I'm "holding it wrong"?
Thanks guys
I take it the lack of responses means that no one else is experiencing the issue and that I should swap it under Warranty :/

Never faced any of such issues with my nexus. You should go for a replacement
For some reason, lately after a while of non usage maybe like 20-30 minutes randomly, when I go back and try to watch or view something there will be no volume. It turns out my media volume has gone all the way down and I have to turn it back up myself.
Mild nuisance but has anyone been thru this? Could it be some odd stray app?
