Hey!
Am I the only person who finds it horribly annoying that when receiving a call the screen lock is that ugly green/red slider?
It feels so different than everything else on my phone. I realize that they're trying to make it obvious that you're answering a call, but that doesn't make it any less ugly!
Any options to fix that?

When I receive a phone call, SMS or MMS the screen switch itself on and that’s not good when the phone is in my pocket. (I'll answer my calls via bluetooth)
Would it be possible to disable screen at least when receiving SMS/MMS?
Thanks.
This would be a good fix.
This is indeed an excellent idea. If someone could somehow develop something that allows the screen to come on to show you what is happening, but the screen stays insensitive to touch, that would save me a lot of headaches.
The "lock screen" feature almost does this, but not quite.
I'd like to third/forth this idea. I often find myself hanging up a call as I pull the phone out of my pocket, or launching random apps when a message arrives. Very irritating!
I would certainly agree to that too. I am forever calling random people while driving because of my phone being on my belt and then recieving an SMS

AFAIK message on screen will only prevent the message itself to be displayed automatically when you receve a message. Your screen will still be switched on and a lot of funny things happen when it's in your pocket.
Hi All
I recently lost my ringtone and found a solution on here, so all is fine.....EXCEPT when the phone rings, the ringtone disappears when the scroll wheel (if that's what it's called) is moved.
Has anyone else come across this problem and if so found a fix???
The phone carries on ringing silently if I move the wheel, it's just the sound that disappears and that's obviously not very good if it's in my pocket!!
I've tried pressing all the other buttons when it's ringing to see if they make the sound disappear but they don't, it's only the wheel
Any one got any ideas????
Thanks
That's not a bug.
That's a feature...
My TyTN1 did that.
My P3600 did that.
My TyTN2 Does that.
It's the only way of making the phone go QUIET without canceling the call.
Quite usefull actually....
Honestly!!??
It's a feature??
How do I turn it off????
I like that feature very much, too. When someone calls and I don't want to talk to them I just hit the scroll wheel to silence the call but let it continue ringing for them. That way they don't know I'm ignoring them. I can plausibly be out of range of my phone or some other excuse. If you press the end key or hit "ignore" on the phone screen it sends the call immediately to voicemail and the person on the other line can tell they've been actively ignored...
I don't know if it's possible to turn it off.
ive always found it usefull. but sometimes it can be annoying as OP said when its in your pocket

The beginning of every sad story I've heard about screen cracks and phone damage, has always begun with , Well the phone was in my pocket and..............
When I pull my phone from it's padded holster I always look at the caller id first and do not wish to disturb other people while I decide. I appreciate the feature
I'm guessing it's a feature that can't be turned off then
Hi,
I am having an extremely annoying problem with my phone.
Whenever Im on calls and i receive a text, it vibrates, while im on call. And whats annoying is, that the person on the other end hears the annoying buzzing sound as well its irritating for me as well.
Is there a way to stop the phone from vibrating for notification while im on calls ?
Im not talking about changing vibrations for profiles, just stop vibrating while im on a call !
Another option - also not free, but ridiculously easy: Kill The Duck. (disclosure: I'm the dev)
Monitors phone state and disables vibrate notifications when there's an active call, and restores the prior vibrate notification settings when the call is over. That's it. That's all it does. Period.
After being driven crazy by this "feature" of my HTC Incredible for over a year, I figured it was time I did something about it
I keep my phone in my pocket with the screen next to my leg or chest depending on what I am wearing etc. I have my earphones plugged in and use the inline mic for answering calls. However the screen comes on when I get a call and because the screen is next to my skin through thin fabric it causes the phone to react as if touched so I get call hangups during a call and when the call ends the screen is still unlocked and does other funky things (like skipping tracks in my music player).
I use an app to keep the screen ON during a call so when I am on speakerphone it does not blank out.
How the hell do I have the screen remain locked during a call on headset and ON during a call when on speakerphone (and still respond to the proximity sensor when used normal so blanks when near my face)?
This is a terrible design flaw!
EDIT: Looks like the answer is here.

Why you not make that default option HTC???
EDIT2: Dammit! That only works when the call is incoming. It still does not stop the screen from waking when I answer the call from the headset!!!
I just purchased Headset Screenlock thinking that would do the trick. But if I answer the call (by ringing myself from a land line phone) the screen shows the incoming call with the answer or decline options (which can still get answered or hung up accidentally by the look of things) and if I answer the call using the headset button the screen goes blank and after that...nothing. I cannot get the screen back! I have to reboot the phone holding the power button down for 10 seconds.
I went back immediately to get a refund but it was not available. Pretty sure it was less than 15 minutes too. The developer of the app says he will give a refund if not satisfied within 24 hours. But how? I have emailed him asking and telling him about the crash etc.
This is really frustrating.
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
