cover the 2 sensors on the top left with a piece of folded paper or something, do they light up?
Ah yes .. I'm sat under a bright light doooh thank you
Thought my home and back was faulty . It sometimes is less responsive than other times (double tap to get multi apps ) but I'm presuming that's a software glitch

Others are reporting issues with the buttons sometimes not responding, not sure if it's a software glitch, or just a small footprint for the buttons, ie you have to press right on the button and not in the general area if you know what i mean.
Cool I'll relax then and stop worrying my phone is faulty. Big thanks

I would monitor how you go with pressing the buttons, it may be a glitch, but i know when i'm using mine, i am often off the button when i press it, being used to the One X for the last year, the buttons are further to the edge, so automatically i have been pressing further out than the actual buttons are.
I always turn mine off. Just saying lol

The capacitive area is in fact VERY small. Just barely bigger than the Home and Back icons themselves. Precision touch is required and is why I suspect some think its not responsive

I use an app called keyboard backlights from play. Works great but recently in occasions they come on anyway. They are off 80% of the time though. Can only do if your rooted btw

Try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39498430&postcount=7
Seems that the One has very small area of touch for buttons, so probably not software problem.
Turn on vibrate and you will realise how small of an area we have .. seems the way it's been designed and not a bug . Vibrate assists because you know when your missing now don't have the issue

How does the phone move about so much in your pocket that it gets to slide the Answer Call button?? You need new pants bro
I'm impressed of forum.xda-developers.com , I need to say. Really not often do I encounter a phorum that's each educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you have got hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the difficulty is one thing that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very blissful that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for something regarding this.
It's not sliding it's touch for some reason

Touching doesn't answer calls. To answer phone calls screen lock you have to drag the Answer Call button. So you probably have the screen on while in your pocket.
It's not drag for my HTC One don't know why would I require to lock with pass?

Nope, I don't have any lockscreens active. Mine is touch to answer only when the screen is on and unlocked, other wise I have to drag the Answer button to the middle to answer.
Don't know why even if i touch in the slightest it accepts call

I tried to change the touch and hold delay option to medium or even long, but nothing happen since this problem still made me crazy a lot. Does anyone else have the same problem with me that just tap anywhere on the screen to answer or end call in some case without slide the answer icon, I'm so crazy because most time I put my cell phone in the pocket.
I also had the problem but was fixed.

It will be my pleasure if you can show me how to fix this problem, I tried with some modification in accessibility option but nothing happened. I think that many other people have the same problem with me and be waiting for your help.
firstly in accessibility make it long touch and i then am using a cover.Other options could be rooting and going to a different rom but i would never root my device but,if u are into rooting then u could try it.

Yes I have that same problem and find it extremely annoying. Same with unlocking it..just the slightest touch on the screen anywhere and it unlocks. Might as well not have a lock screen if its that easy 2 unlock. I want to have to slide the lock icon up to unlock. For answer/decline call its just touch answer or touch decline, no sliding anything. Id prefer the sense 4.1 lock screen with the ring
EDIT: Has nothing to do with short/long touch. I found that turning off accessibility services solves the lock screen problem. Don't know about calls yet. Haven't tested that. Only the lock icon would move, now they all do as they should and just touching the screen doesn't unlock it anymore. Have to slide up to unlock as it's suppose to be

Thank for your quick reply. Firstly, I found that changing the touch delay option in accessibility become longer does not change anything.Secondly, I do not really want to you cover since I used the 1st cellphone until now. Therefore this problem is hard to fix until root my cellphobe. But the same with you, I think that I do not need to root my phone for this stupid reason. Just like you guys, I just hope HTC also quickly realize this problem soon and give some fix bugs in the next update. Anyway, thank for you help!

Has anyone else noticed how sensitive the screen is? I constantly find my phone has woke up because of a notification. Then my pocket does all kinds of random things. pockt dialing, pocket facebooking, pocket gaming and last but not least pocket txting lol.

Same issue and my friend has the same problem. If they'd get rid of the stupid screen on for notifications it would help but it's also not good that when squatting down its easy to press the home button in your pocket since it's not fully flush with the body. Thus allowing you to still accidentally unlock it the same way

If you're rooted, you can make the home button not wake up the device with Wanam. I found that this caused a more problems than the brief wake on receiving text messages.
Not sure how to make it not wake the screen when you get a text message.
I've never seen it wake the screen for anything other than text and calls, though.

When I pull the phone away from my face to use the keypad or switch to speaker or end the call even, the screen doesn't turn on. I turned off just about all of the motion sensors in settings would that have something to do with/affect the proximity sensor?

Is anyone else experiencing poor proximity sensor behavior during calls? Proximity works great during sensor tests, but fails to turn screen on/off during calls correctly. Problem is identical across 3 seperate Note3 devices I've tested and oddly I get the exact same issue on Galaxy Mega.

Mine works most of the time. Every once in awhile it flakes out. Same on my note 2 but it was very very rare on note2. I am possibly thinking it might be these cases with fatter lips I've been using since there is so little choice for a great case. My diztronics tpu is awesome but sadly it doesnt fit proper with wireless charging cover and I ruined it trying g to mod it.

I'm not using a case, screen protector, or anything. Exchanged my device and a few days later the proximity sensor is failing 100% of the time during calls. It works flawlessly for everything else...just buggy with stock dialer.

Maybe an app that is causing chaos. I had a speakerphone app bork my proximity sensor sensitivity.

Mine annoys the **** outta me, as soon as I make a call, phone in had, on table wherever it may be the screen turns off.
With this many people having issues with it, it might be an app that's causing it because testing shows the sensor works right?

I had the same proximity sensor issue on my first brand new N3. I think it was faulty from the start. when doing the sensor test, the screen would light up when you place your hand over the sensor, and stay light up when you move it away.
I even reset it to new a few times with the same problem. I got tired of the problem and did a warranty exchange. The new phone works as is. I also went to my local BB where they had a Samsung booth and tested all the N3s they had there. None of them had the proximity sensor issue. I believe it's a hardware problem.
Wow.
Man I'm having this problem also!
I had the same issue and requested an exchange from ATT. So far so good on the new one. Very frustrating issue!
I am having this same issue. Besides that and super high temps I honestly don't think this phone was ready to come out.

There's a separate setting in the phone app to turn off the screen during calls, and it's set on by default (I think). Could that be interfering with the sensor?

No, that's the setting to activate the proximity sensor during calls or not. Turning it off deactivates the sensor. Then you manually can turn your screen on and off during calls.

Ok Here is the deal, I heve my phone in my pocket with my bluetooth headset connected and I get a call. The screen turns on and is fully active in my pocket. This has disconnected my blue tooth, hung up on people and just made my life suck when calling on this phone. I have tested it by calling it with the sensors covered and it lights right up, then I uncover the sensor and nothing happens. So then I disconect the bluetooth and cover the sensor and the screen go out, uncover it and the screen turns back on. I have spent alot of time looking for a setting and have called Samsung but no one knows how to fix this problem. I have had every att varient since the captivate and have never had this problem. So is anyone else haveing this problem???? Thanks for the replies!!!

Wow dude I've been having the same problem! So annoying to be going up a flight of stairs and hear it making the drip sound on the unlock screen. I thought maybe it was because some notification is turning the screen in (while others don't) . Or maybe my thigh was pressing the physical button (I hate the physical button because it can be triggered by anything). Not sure about the bluetooth issue.

Same here. I have a Best Buy rubbery minimal case on mine, and I get screenshots and start S voice in my pocket. I have found a small workaround. I my instance, I always put my phone in my right pocket with Samsung logo down. This will always wake my phone when I squat down. But if I put it in my pocket Samsung logo up, it nearly never happens. Not the most ingenious of solutions, but works for me.
I ended up turning off air wake up in accessibility settings. It seemed to be turning on my phone every time I placed the phone face down on the desk or in my pocket. Had nearly 5 hours of screen on time without knowing it the other day.

I hate this problem! I finally bought an S-View knockoff case from China for about $20. I don't do anything worth the S-View app but the cover keeps the phone from turning on and doing accidental presses. Plus, I like the extra protection on the screen.

Ya I went to att to figure out this problem and they told me to get a S view case to stop the problem. I didn't like the idea of spending $50 on a case that I don't like but this phone is hanging up on my customers, so I got one. The good thing was they gave me 50% off and I used the isis money to pay for it. I hope they get that this is a problem and fix it soon, I need to use a different case.

My defender case will be here Wednesday so I will test it and see if the screen comes on in the holster. With the S case it know that the screen is closed and doesn't turn on because it is connected to the back of the phone.

This is the problem though, I don't think the screen should come on in your pocket. The proximity sensor should not let the screen comes on till the phone is taken out of your pocket to keep things like what I described from happening.

Same here - really annoying. I have been forced to use the default lock screen (with pattern) due to the screen coming on when i receive a text. If I use slide unlock only, I inadvertently launch apps, change settings, etc. I interact with my phone way too much to be using a pattern every time I pull my phone out of pocket. Extremely annoying, Samsung!
