Hello!
I am having problems with the P10 as if it is connected to my Talkband B3 (bluetooth device), then every time I am using the hands-free, it will also unlock the phone´s screen and sometimes calls people by itself, as it moves in pocket.
Didn´t do that with my P9.
EDIT: The main problem is also, that when I pick up the hands-free, the phone´s screen will be active and either closing the call by accident or pushing the flashlight on etc.
Also it is sometimes waking up randomly in my jacket pocket, doing the same thing.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Also! (OP)
Is it possible, that the proximity sensor simply doesn´t realise that the phone is in the jacket pocket?
It seems, that if I put something DIRECTLY above the sensor, the phone screen says not to cover the sensor and doesn´t allow to touch any buttons. What´s going on?

Hello there, I bought a wallet cover to my Lumia 920 (if needed, google it, i couldn't post the link) and I wanna know if there's any way to lock/unlock the screen without pressing any button, just openning/closing the cover. Maybe something that works with call sensor that turns the screen off when near the ear.
Well, this would be amazing.
Thanks !
No. Not only would that require that the proximity sensor be continuously active, it would also mean that, if your phone was (for example) sitting next to you on the desk the way mine is, every tim my hand moved past it in range of the sensor it would come on. This would be quite bad for battery life.
Hi!
Because I didn't get any answer in the help-thread I try it this way.
When you receive a phone call on your XZ, does the screen turn on again when you move the phone away from your ear?
This problem drives me crazy! Every phone call (active and passive...) the display of my phone turns off (as it should) when I put the phone to my ear. When I put the phone away from my head, the screen doesn't turn on again. I always have to press the power button to enable the display again. In rare cases, the display turns on as it should. But when a phone call is longer than a few seconds, the display won't turn on again.
The only reason for this problem I've found on the internet is the usage of a screen-protector. Actually I have a screen protector installed, but is has a cutout around the proximity sensor. I've also tested the proximity sensor with an app - it turns on/off correctly when I move my hand in front of the phone...
Does anybody of you experience this issue? I've tried a lot of firmware versions, but it's everytime the same... No matter if I use CM10.2 or different stock roms...
I hate it so much - not being able to stop a call before being redirected to an answering machine only because this piece of shi*** refuses to turn on the display during a call.
I'm looking forward to your answers - I can't imagine that my XZ is the only one that shows this behaviour.
Regards
is there really nobody with any screen on/off during call problems? can't imagine that my XZ is the only one... or is there an android-"feature" I donn't know?
I've already removed my screen protector... but nothing has changed...
I also have this problem frequently, i enabled power button to end calls under accessibility setting so if i press it, it ends the call, so could be partial solution to allow you to end calls, but not a real solution at all if you want an option not to end the call but to have the screen turn on only. Let me know if you find any other solutions

Actually stopping phone calls isn't my main problem. But it annoys me that I can't check the current time by removing the phone from my head for a second. Also when I have to interact with an answering machine (windows activation hotline for example^^) - everytime I have to input a number during a call this f*cking screen is off and I have to press the power button.
Don't people use their XZ for making telephone calls? Am I the only person on earth who uses the phone for other things than watching movies and surfing the net?
I also want to know if this is a general Jelly-Bean problem... If so, replacing my phone with another one would be meaningless.
Press the power button twice to activate the screen during call.

Pressing the power button ONCE also works to turn on the screen during a call. But that's the point. I do not want to press this damn power button. What does the phone has a proximity sensor for??? When I start a call and remove the phone from my head after a few seconds, the screen will mostly turn on itself. But after a while (a minute or longer) moving the phone away from the head will not turn on screen anymore...
Is it too hard for phone manufacturers to build a phone that can be used as a phone? If I wanted to have a tablet I would have bought one...
Problem solved. I have a Nexus5 now and it is just awesome. May the new owner get angry with this piece of sony sh*t.

Turn off phone
Press firmly on proximity sensor
Turn on phone
Once on main screen
Press firmly on proximity sensor
Try to make a call
I hope it works for you
Sony experia z1 how to on proximity sensor.
My device is completely stock.
I have noticed that the screen will randomly wake on its own to the lockscreen.
If i get a notification it does this however will also do it with nothing apparently new having happened.
Any ideas?
I noticed this before on my P9-L:ite but haven't seen it yet on my P10. In my case, I believe it happens when the phone loses or regains internet connectivity. Since networks are kind of spotty where I am, it happens somewhat often.
i have the p10 plus and i have the same situation...... any solutions?
Mine only does this when receiving a snapchat from someone. Could it be app related?
My one week old P10 plus has the same problem. It happens when I lock the phone while any app is active (I tried with a few apps). However, it doesn't happen when I lock the phone while the home screen is active.
Has anyone found a solution?
Still interested in this–
started happening to me a few days back aswell; I noticed the change after shooting some balls with my phone in the pocket, screen facing the skin. At some point the phone got insanely hot. When I picked it up all sorts of s*** happened, as if my thigh was able to make touch inputs through the pants? Notification center / quick settings were all toggled randomly. Flashlight, geo location and hotspot were switched on whereas Wifi and Bluetooth were off (which is unusual). And the camera was running with fully brightened screen, which I think was main reason for the heat.
I wasn't sweating extensively; meaning the phone wasn't wet in my pockets or something–
And I don't know if the random screen wake up enabled my thigh to make the touch inputs or of something else happened which from then on let the screen randomly wake up– chicken and egg, you know :F
Anyone having a problem with the proximity sensor when someone's calling? I can't pull out the phone from my pocket and hang up, cause every time, the call is already answered... During phone ringing the proximity sensor is not working and the screen is operational. Someone else? Reported already?
Am I the only one? I've tested the proximity sensor, it's working fine. Done a hard reset without phone settings restore, but still while ringing, with hidden sensor, the screen is active. Had this problem with xiaomi a1, with Nokia 6.1 it was ok. So wondering, of it's just me (somekind of hardware problem) or software?

I don't recall having any issue with the screen when a call comes in. Can you explain the problem a little more? I just want to make sure I test it properly based on the issue you're having.
- Call comes in
- Phone is in pocket
- Call answers? Or screen activates and registers touch while in your pocket? Not sure of what's going on here
This is the part I don't follow. Is it answering automatically? Or is it that when you try to remove it from your pocket, you're somehow answering the phone?

Sorry. The problem is that the screen is active and obviously my pocket is capacitive
You can test it easy - someone calls you and you cover up the sensor. For me, it stays active and lit up. I think it stays active even during a call, no matter that it's not on - sometimes it seems I press things with my face.
Just to update - I got a replacement of the phone, cause the other one died, but the new one still has this problem - while taking it out of the pocket of normal jeans while ringing, it either slides to answer the call (most of the time) or to reject it. Happens like 60+ % of the time, in dry pocket. Am I the only lucky guy out here or I should expect this phone to kill itself like the previous?
So, it's not just me, but still no fix...

My K20 pro (CN) is taking photos and videos in pocket, changing music, trying to unlock phone, all on its own.
I have pocket mode enabled, double tap enabled and finger print unlock enabled. I have wake up for notification disabled.
Obviously the pocket mode isnt working properly because touch shouldn't work at all when its in pocket.
I checked my proximity sensor in engineering mode, its fine.
Any solution please? Its impossible to use it like this in outdoor.
I did some basic tests.
I turned the phone off, then covered top of the phone with my hand.
Double tap: wakes up the display but instantly turns it off. That split second of active time is enough to trigger other actions.
Finger print: Still works and unlock the phone perfectly.
So pocket mode is broken. When pocket mode is activated, touch should not work at all.
Works fine on the indian ROM. Chinese rom is junk IMO based on the 7 days I was forced to use it for.
Can you please test it and confirm on indian rom?

I've used Indian ROM since realise and never had any issues that you face whilst being in my pocket or bag
Update: for anyone else experiencing same issue.
If you directly put your hand on top of the earpiece area, touch doesnt work, as it shouldnt.
If you keep your hand even just little from the earpiece area, touch works again.
I put my phone in my pocket with upside up and downside down, so I can connect my earphone jack on top. If you use earphone outdoor you would probably do the same (unless u have an external dac/amp/bluetooth).
The thing is, my pocket isnt too deep and my guess is the earpiece area get some gaps.
It should be fixed, but I doubt if it will be.
