phone answering behavior when locked? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a set of level u Pro Bluetooth headphones that I love and one feature I love is when separating the magnetic rear pieces when a phone call is incoming it answers it fit me immediately... The problem I've got is that if the phone is in my pocket the phone app appears on the screen(full screen) and then my leg contacting it "presses buttons" and will do stuff like hang up or disconnect the Bluetooth.
How can I answer the phone with my headphones but have the phone app respect the locked screen state and allow it to be kept in my pocket?

Proximity sensor

Hi all.
I was wondering what the sensor is for.
Shouldn't it prevent the screen to turn off during phone calls ? If this is the case, mine is defective.
Thanks for the help
It should, do you have any problems when the display is on while you talk? Stuff like randomnly calling other people, turn on mute, hang calls, etc. If this happens then it's obviously defective and you should ask for a replacement
It should turn off the screen when you place your phone to your ear to prevent accidental phone call disconnect if you press end call touch button.
I.e., iPhone4 out of the box when was released was notorious to proximity sensor issues, it was a software bug on behalf of Apple.
I've noticed mine isn't as sensitive as my hd2, but then again, I haven't hung up on anybody yet either....

Keep screen locked during call on headset!

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.

microphone drop on calls

Hi Everyone
I got issues with my beloved z3c on calls. After the phone goes black after putting it to my ear my phone will drop the microphone at some point. about two to three minutes into the call. When I take the phone off my ear and unlock it the microphone is fine again.
Anyone else having these issues? I dont use a case. But I have a sheet on my display. I have stamina mode turned on. The phone is rooted.

Easy Mute question, notification only coming from bottom speaker

I was under the impression that Easy Mute would temporarily silence the phone after you flipped it over, for example during a meeting. However, it turns out it works as a gesture, where call rings, you flip it, then it goes silent. I really don't see a point to this, as I can easily hit any volume button (same as my S7) to silence the ring.
Stereo speakers is one of the selling point of this $1000 phone, yet the notifications only come from the bottom speaker? The weird thing is, when I go into Whatsapp setting to select the notification/ringtone, it plays from both speakers (the way it should, and it's clearly capable). Yet when the actually Whatsapp message comes in, the notification only comes from the bottom speaker.
Is there a way/app I can "fix" them?
edit: the other "issue" is with the headphones plugged in, you would still hear calls/notifications from the speakers. i believe you can download the Samsung sound assistant/manager, it has the option to silence the phone when headphones are plugged in?

Question Answering phonecalls

Hi.
I just got my Pixel 7 last friday after being on iPhone for 5 years. Loving it, really a great device.
My problem is answering phonecalls on the device when my bluetooth headset is connected. On iPhone the call is routet to the device when using the answering button on the phone and routed to the headset when you press the butten on the headset.
I often leave the headset on my desk without turning it off. If i get a call while not at my desk i have to first switch from headset to phone before taking the call. I would like to change this so that i can get the call directly to the phone when not using my headset.
Is there a way to get the Pixel to behave in the same manner as the iPhone?
