So I just placed two calls in the last hour and both times, the screen locked and I was unable to hang up when I got to the person's voicemail because the screen wouldn't turn back on when I pulled it away from my face. I eventually got the screen on with the power button after a LONG delay. I checked dialer settings and regular settings to see if there was an option to keep the screen on when placing a call but didn't see one. I was rooted, but gave it up and went back to stock and installed the OTA 4.4 without issue. Anyone else experience this?

Yesterday I made a call on the XZ and whilst I had the phone against my ear the screen switched off - this I fully expected - what I did not expect was that at some point during the call I had to press a number to get through and when I went to press the number the screen refused to switch on!! Obviously I could not press the necessary number or indeed end the call. It took me almost ten minutes of hearing the automated message trying to reset the phone (I pressed all the button combinations I knew of and even invented a few myself just in case...) without any luck! I had an idea and removed the SIM from the phone, the bl%%dy automated message still continued, I then inserted the SIM and the screen went on and the phone finally rebooted without me pressing any keys!
I had noticed before this, that the screen did remain off after my calls, but as the other person usually hung up I never really took much issue with this behaviour.
Has anybody had this problem before? My phone is rooted, with the 434 stock firmware and locked bootloader.
Do not have this issue on .434. Didn't have it on .350.
Did you install a screen protector because some of them can mess with the light sensor
Press thanks if I helped
Same issue here...very annoying!

Screen protector. Issue comes up a lot. Screen protector.
I had the same issue, I even tried to test the proximity sensor via service menu: it turned on when I got my hand near the phone, but it wouldn't turn off. I removed the screen protector, now it works just fine.
After a while I suddenly got a similar issue where my screen would not turn on when calls came in.
In the beginning i could push vol+ or powerbutton and it would turn on.
Then nothing worked. Call came in and I had to wait for the call to end before the screen could be turned on.
Tinkered around with apps to find the culprit, aaand zilch.
this was on .350
After updating to .434 (global), everything was back to normal
-C6603
-Unlocked bl and root
-No screenprotector, or anti-shatter film for that matter
I'm running 4.4.4. Rooted and unlocked.
This problem occurred before I upgraded.
When I call someone, the dialer screen immediately disappears and when I'm done with the call I usually have to press the power button 3 or 4 times to get my lock screen back. I have blue tooth for my hearing aids. When I use that, it doesn't disappear although after the call I need to hit the power button twice for the lock screen. I might have changed some settings inadvertently due to the screen changing when it sould have turned off. I think the blue tooth on my hearing aids is what activates the screens. I'm using Apex launcher. I have had my phone completely apart because of a plugged mic opening. I don't think this anything to do with the problem at hand, At one time on my phone I saw a setting someplace where I could end a call with the power button. Anyone know where that's at? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I might flash it back completely stock.

Do you have two dialer apps? I had a similar problem and the problem ended up being having the stock dialer as well as the google dialer installed.
I got rid of the stock dialer and then the problem went away.
Settings > Accessibility > Power button ends call (check that).
Do you have a screen protector? If misplaced, it may activate the sensor that turns off the screen when the phone is up to your face.

To anyone having this issue: I have seen this issue several times now with multiple members. I haven't seen a working solution yet except that a factory reset sometimes solves it, and flashing back to 100% stock as per the return to stock thread (in the General sub-forum) always solves it. I know it is often a pain to have to set everything up all over again, but it is the only solution I'm aware of.
Good luck
Yep factory reset was the only thing that fixed it for me

Hi,
Have not posted in here in a while but i'm having a huge problem with my HTC one M7.
Had the phone for a year now and suffered a problem with it once before. The problem before was something to do with the phone locking itself and required me sending it off to HTC to repair. It kept bootlooping and wouldn't allow me to do anything at all.
This problem hasn't occurred since repair however last week the phone was working fine until the next morning when i woke up. My girlfriend used my phone to send herself some photo's and then put the phone on charge as the battery was running low. When i woke up the screen stays black and wont allow me to do anything. If i hold the power button the bottom two lights flash and i can hear the phone booting itself back up. I have a feeling the phone works since everyday at 6:15pm my alarm goes off and i am able to deactivate the alarm by swiping up (i remember the location of the dismiss function) it would appear i'm also able to receive calls and texts since i can hear my message and ring tone going off however cannot see the screen.
I have tried a few things such as holding buttons to reboot, shining a light onto the sensor during a reboot and fully charging etc however nothing.
I should also add i have a slight hairline crack in the screen which occurred about 9 months ago but didn't appear to affect the LCD at all or the digitiser either. Any help would be highly appreciated or any tips on stuff to try.
more information available if needed.
Many Thanks
Kris

It looks like you tried all of the usual methods, sorry but it might just be the screen is shorted.

I thought as much, i have ordered a new screen and once its delivered i am gonna attempt to fit it and see what happens, thanks for the reply.
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.

This is for yuga/c6603/"Xperia Z"
Some of y'all have probably gotten the latest update, that includes the Dec security patch, camera improvement and more importantly that new spam-screening stuff. Well, I've gotten 5 spam calls today, after not having one for days, and when the caller hangs up (after hearing nothing but silence from me) the screen locks up. But just the call phone app/call screen.
I can hit the home button and return to my home screen just find, close and reopen the phone app just fine, but that hangup freeze is kind of annoying. Reason being because after every spam call ends you know about that "block number" option that appears right after the call ends? I can't get to it because of this bug. I tried taking a screen shot but it wouldn't let me because the screen freezes.
It's not a big deal, just a minor inconvenience but I wanted to know if any other T-Mobile user with the latest OTA has experienced the same thing.
I'm on Verizon and have a similar problem. It's a major pita. Anytime I get a call my phone freezes up. I can't unlock it for at least a few tries, once unlocked all I've got is a frozen black screen with a missed call notification and an ongoing incoming call notification at the same time. Neither can be dismissed or cleared. It does show me the options to but they don't work when pressed. Average lockup of my phone is upwards of 5 minutes. If I miss a call no matter how long ago it came in I've got the same issue unlocking and it always displays the missed call and appears that the call is either active or incoming. Basically can't use the phone as a phone. Texts work fine however.
