Built in lock from WM locks while in a call

Hello to all of you!
Happy new year first of all!
Since a few days i'm using the Built in lock from WM and the Phone Canvas posted here on the Diamond Thread. Previously I've used TouchLockPro, but somehow it didn't work properly for me...
Right now I have a problem with it, I've configured with Advanced Config Tool form Schaps a timeout to lock my device automatically so when I don't touch my device 30 sec or press the power button, It will lock...
But....also in a call or something, which is very annoying because to end the call I have to unlock first AND my phoneskin is gone as well.....
So summarised:
Does anybody know how to automatically lock my phone like it should do, except while in a call??
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Jeroen
p.s. mods, if this item has already been discussed, can you please erase this Thread then??

I dont use the built in lock from windows anymore (i used to have your problem). Instead i now use S2U2 (Scroll 2 Unlock) and this doesnt lock during a call. One of the best apps i have on the phone - and its freeware!

Thanks for your reply kaos_king
I'd rather stick to the standard lock app from WM, because S2U2 is quite big app to load into memory and for me it drains my battery quicker...(at least, that's my opinion)
Thanks anyway...I hope somebody else knows how to solve this.....

Hello,
Please can you clarify your problems? Does the phone always lock itself in a call? What do you mean your phone skin is gone? When did it go?

Hi Dave!
Well the problem is actually caused by ACT 3.2 from Schaps I think.....I've configured the keylock from Windows Mobile to lock itself automatically after a period of inactivity OR when I press the powerbutton to suspend the the device, and after that my phone is locked! But even WITHIN a call, my device will become locked with the specified timeout and will make my phoneskin dissapear and let it go back to the homescreen!
If I want to hang up then, I have to UNLOCK my device and then TAP on the phone icon which appears next to my Signal strength Icon....THAN the phoneskin will reappear and THEN I can hang up the call.....
Hope you'll know by now what I mean...
It's driving me crazy, because I really fancy the automatic lock........
Thanxx anyway

in the advanced config thing or diamond tweak theres an option for lock with "light sensor while in call" or something like that. disable it. and ur set. its annoying as hell, i accidentally played with that feature and it annoyed the crap outta me until i finally found what it was.
in diamond tweak, it should be in the first section of the thing, u dont need to even scroll. i forgot about advanced config cause i dont use it.
edit: option is called "light sensor" but the description talks about it for use during phone calls.

Hi Jeroen,
The problem is not caused by Schaps ACT because that just enables and disables WM features by changing the normal registry entries used by WM.
The problem is some combination of your ROM and your dialer skin not playing nicely with the auto-lock feature. Try removing the dialer skin to see if that helps. If it does help then there may be another, similar phone skin you can use instead.

Ok, I've done a bit more investigation into this issue. I don't use auto-lock normally so I've tried it out. I can confirm it locks during my calls too.
You have a least a couple of options -
1) Don't use auto-lock. You could lock the phone with the left soft key like I do.
2) Don't switch off the screen during a call. There are two settings in Schaps ACT to prevent the screen shutting of automatically and this version of the phone skin has the in-call locking curtain:

Hi Davey101
Thanks for your help in advance! I really appreciate it
I do use the Nosleep!.cab file to prevent my screen from going off during a call, so that would not be the cause....I think I just have to turn off the phoneskin, OR do it manually
Off course...I rather prefer to leave the auto-lock function active, but if it's not gonna work, I have to face it
Cheers mate!

[Q] How to disable auto-screen off?

Forgive me if this was answered somewhere else, but I have not been able to find any information anywhere. I am not sure if my search terms are weak or what.
Okay, here is my question. How do I disable the auto-screen off feature? Meaning, when I hold the One in my hand and flick my wrist downward, the screen turns off by itself. I have looked into every setting on the phone but can not find any switch for it.
I am running OneDriod rom (cyanogenMod). I am unsure if the rom is causing this, as I remember it doing the same thing with stock.
Again, if this was answered elsewhere, feel free to delete/lock this thread. I was hesitant to even create this thread.

Thanks for the reply. I will be honest and say I have no idea if that is what it is. I have seen no reference to it on my phone or in any settings, etc. Though it seems my phone only turns off when I flick my wrist (or any other slight jerking action). However, it does not wake the phone up with a flick, it just turns the screen off. It is super annoying and I can not find the switch to turn it off.

wiping SetCPU

Does anyone know how to completely remove setspu files? I have tried to wipe it, unstall it and for some reason whatever it does to modify the hardware is still there. I am having issues with incoming calls with this app. The diealer doesnt show up when i get an incoming call.
Thanks

uninstall setcpu, its been a long time since its been updated. last time it was updated was in april of 2013! it doesnt work right with lollipop nor with the nexus 6. there are many cpu control apps that work with lollipop and the nexus 6, setcpu is not one of them.

are you wearing a screen protector or a case? try taking the case off then have someone call you. its a known issue when wearing certain cases.

not a screen protector issue. had it on for about 2 weeks without issues. installed setcpu last night and not im having issues. doing a factory reset resolves the issue but then im too lazy to download all my apps and set it all up. so, im looking for the files that setcpu modifies or adds so i can delete/edit them.

Figured it out. I simply had to reset app preferences. somehow installing setcpu caused them to get all messed up

I like SetCPU because I can make profiles. For example, my kernel is set 300-1247 with screen is of, another setting is when the phone is in call, and full speed when screen is turned on.

[Q] Double-tap to wake partially working

Hi there,
So I've been running a few rom with different kernels on my N6 in the last month and I noticed that the "double-tap to wake" feature was not always working as expected. Seems like the double tap is not always detected right away and I have to do it several times in order to wake the device.
Some times it will work at first try and some others it won't work at all.
Is there any definitive fix for this behaviour ?

Known problem with tap to wake. I use swipe to wake and it works fine.

Thanks for the hint, I'm afraid swep to wake will wake the device in my pocket more easily
But I'll give a shot anyway !

If read the full thread it is still hit and miss and that file may not even be the same .so file for 5.1.1. That zip was made in December for 5.0.2.

This is the cause of the issue and I suspect why google didn't release it. Kernel implementation is much better but actually sweep to wake is much safer in the pocket than double tap.

it was more or less reliable for me, too reliable actually. when it got warm around here, i started carrying the phone in my back pocket instead of jacket pocket, and it kept waking in my back pocket. so i disabled double tap to wake, permanently.

Yeah between that and ambient display, pocket wake is a huge problem. But for double tapping when you want to wake it up is not as reliable. 50% for some..or 3rd tap not 2nd.

I've seen several posts about dt2w, and there are issues and solutions, and indeed not always successful.
My dt2w actions were as follows.
I started using an app untill I flashed a custom-kernel. Franco's kernel.
In the kernel settings there is an option to enable dt2w. But enabling had no effect.
Therefore I decided to flash the mentioned power.shamu.so.
Now it works for more than a week.
When there are issues I will post it here.

Works on stock with LeanKernel. Has option for stock dt2w, haptic dt2w, sw2w or both haptic dt2w and sw2w at same time.

This is understandable because the screen is touched when you put the N6 in the back pocket. But you have an option to switch it off.
It is different with the magnet sensor.
I was using a belt case (vertical) with a magnetic closure. Every move activates the sensor. Screen is turned on/off frequently.
Solution: another belt case,
EDIT
. . . I hope that in an new Android it will be possible to switch this sensor permanently off.
Because my magnetic car mount is not usable.

Recently the screen in my N6 always turning on w/o doing nothing

Hi!
As i wrote, the screen just turning on without doing nothing.
I'm not touching...Only move it within my palms and the screen turnes on.
Anyone heard about that?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

It's called ambient display. Makes your screen turn on when the phone is moved after your screen turns off.
Basicly a replacement for the lack of a led light(talking non rooted non custom rom here)

OR.. it could also be an app, thats turning your screen on. there are many apps that do this, you should read your apps permissions.

Just turned off ambient display.
But...does it mean that now I wont get any notifications during phone at sleep?
Tnx!

Ambient display doesn't use much extra battery, it only illuminates the pixels its displaying and it keep the phone in a low power state.
It is your phone's stock visual notification system, so yes if you turn it off you won't get any visual notifications. If your phone is set to vibrate or make notification noises it will still do that. The phone does have an LED behind the speaker, so if you are rooted you can install something like lightflow to use your phone's LED for notifications instead/as well.

I don't use light flow, but I have heard of many having issues using that app. what I use is s ROM that allows for colored notifications, then I set my colors within the ROMs options. BTW, pure nexus ROM.

oh snap, I just realized this is the same guy who was posting in the lightflow tutorial thread and was told how to do it multiple times.
He does not have "run all commands as root" check in the settings, and insist its not an option. He just needs to go through the settings and enable that like the popup window when you first launch light flow tells you.
You gotta look through your settings man. I don't know what else to tell you, I don't use that app anymore but I have. And unless you go through all the options in the settings menu... The app isn't going to be able to write to the kernels file system to turn the light on.

Maybe I'll just flash the pure nexus ROM.
I just dont get how to use this App.
Tnx!

I don't want to sound mean but if you Cant figure an app out I don't think you should be flashing ROMs

You click settings.... Your looking for something to do with running commands as root.
Did you check under the "device settings and root" menu?

Does he even have the paid version of light flow?

He said in another thread that he bought it... but that doesn't matter. I don't and I used it via the options I stated to have LED notification for basic stuff.

I have a question regarding ambient display. I know how it works and all that stuff, however, how many time the phone wakes up with the black/white screen? Because mine gets a notification, it shows it to me then without doing nothing it shows the notification again and again, every minute I guess for a long time. Is this normal?

Yes thats normal. Just like a notification LED will stay on, Ambient Display will show every now and again until you acknowledge the notification in case you missed it. Again, it uses almost no battery to do this, I have used the phone with it on and with it off and never really notice a difference.
