Call settings - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please could someone help me with finding the call settings on marshmallow. I don't like how the phone goes blank right after I place a call. Is there any way to change these on the 5x

i was over in the nexus help forums , and apparently after the nexus 5 got the 6.0 update the phones screen would go black after a call and stay off till 10 seconds or so after the call ended.
I am having this issue on my 5x. Wish it would get solved.

Are you guys talking about while on speakerphone? Does it turn off again after pressing the power button?

Im talking about when making a phone call, the screen goes off and does not return until 10 seconds after the call is ended. For it to work properly the screen should go off when around your ear or head, and when it is not it comes back on. The proximity sensor on the phone is to blame., Hopefully a software update will fix it.

Disable screen wakeup on incoming call

The reason for this is when I am in the car and am using the bluetooth to answer the phone is in my case on my belt. When I get a call the screen comes on and even after the call is completed it stays on for 2 minutes. I then end up calling someone in the last called list if the screen bumps the case. I don't notice because my dumb car always wants to download the phonebook after every call and the stereo doesn't connect the outgoing call. Then someone tells me that they got 2 minutes of my music on their voicemail if they didn't answer. Ended up being very embarrassing when call went out and I made some comments that "someone" was not supposed to hear.
I looked with the advanced config tool but could not find anything.
Any ideas appreciated.
Tks
Perhaps stopping the screen from waking is too drastic. This means you effectively disable caller-id. I would suggest looking into installing a screenlock tool.
I am trying pocketshield for now. I was going to look at su2u but I was told that incoming calls still turned the screen on. Will see how this works for a few days.
Thanks
Well I tried pocketshield and it doesn't really do what I need. It still lets the damn phone call after I have hung up. It leaves the screen on and at the lasted called screen. bump the screen and it calls one of my last called list. Going to try Touchprolock now and see how that goes...
I have "locked" (AT&T stock ROM - using long press end key to lock) my device and then hit the power button momentarily.
This turns off the screen. When an incoming call hits, screens lights up. After call is terminated, screen turns off.

Stupid Evo Tricks

If the phone is ringing and you want to ignore the call, simply turn it over and lay it face down. The ringer will go to silent and the caller will be sent to voicemail at the end of the rings.
Anyone else have any other little tricks?
Edit: This is different from the "quiet phone on pickup" feature/preference. This will 100% silence your phone and works wether that preference is set or not.

I like the fact that the screen turns off when it's up to your face.
You can get an app like LED desire light to use the led flash as a VERY bright flashlight

I tested it and it doesn't work for me.
What would be nice is to have it go to speaker phone like my TP2 did when face down.

I'm torn on this, it's a cool feature... but sometimes I feel I pull it away from my face and instinctively go to turn it on when I notice the screen is off, then as I am pressing the power it turns on and then back off!
Thankfully I am slowly getting used to it and subconsciously knowing that it'll turn on...
I forgot to say that flipping it over doesn't shut the ringer off on mine.

wierd it works for me
Wonder if it is a setting somewhere in the phone menu or possibly an app. I am going to guess an app. What happens when you are in a call and flip it over?
Use LED Light with Camcorder and Video with flash.
not really a software trick, but... the fact that fingerprints get cleaned off after keeping the phone in the pocket some some time. Hop in the car, drive around, pull out the cell to do some GPS, screen is CLEAN aka. no glare

Menu >> Settings >> Sound & Display >> Quiet ring on pickup
Check mark it to enable or vice versa.
Does the updated text selection feature count as a 'trick'? I don't remember having it on my 2.1 ROMs for the Hero. Either way, it's infinitely better. (To me).

I already have it enabled. I know that my ringtone goes quiet when I pick it up. I had my GF call me and I flipped the phone over and it didn't go to VM on her side.

Who said anything about flipping the phone over sending the call to voicemail ? It only quiets the ringer, until the call ends up being routed to VM normally

I've only gotten that to come up once for me and I don't know how I did it. It's just like the iPhone though.
Anyone know of an app that will switch the phone to speaker phone if you place it face down? ....found one it is called Flip Speakerphone
Thanks! Flip Speakerphone is awesome!

Annoying Noise Pop

I have just recently purchased the galaxy note II and I'm starting to hear an annoying noise pop every 5 seconds if I have sound on. It usually happens when you press an application, type, go back, and press the menu button. Is this happening to other people or is it just me? You usually hear it in a silence place.

I've had the phone just over a month and not had any experience of this problem.

Go to settings and under sound option disable keypad tones and touch tones. This will help you I think.

It happens when i listen to audio or during a phone call too.
I returned the phone to the warranty provider they told me the next android update will fix this issue?

Usually, as in 'not always'? that's weird, can't be the touch sounds feedback then. Better return it, I've been lurking the forum lot lately and haven't read anything like it, I don't think a sw update will just fix it.

[Q] How do I keep screen on during a phone call while using Google Maps?

I just got my Note 2 and may have missed the answer some FAQ. But today I noticed that while using Google Maps to do some navigation, I received a phone call and during the call, the screen went blank. The phone kept telling me the turn by turn information but kept the screen off. The screen only came on after the call was completed. I don't remember my SG2 doing this.
Google maps has an option to dim screen - which isn't the same as turning it off. I'm not sure if was triggered due to the phone call or something else. On a recent trip with my SG2, the phone never turned the screen off during navigation.
Is there a setting someplace? I know there are apps but I don't want to have to remember to do 2 or 3 things in order to navigate.

See I'm not sure but people in general have this issue. When during a phone call the screen will stay off. However I've been on stock and I don't have this issue as soon as I let my hand away and the proximity sensor sense is that the phone is not close to my ear the screen will turn on. And then I just hit the home button and then go back into navigation.

No, I haven't tried driving mode yet.. I'm going to test navigation without sending or receiving call to see what happens. The device is sitting in a cubby on the dash and I use an integrated Bluetooth solution. I verified the SG2 doesn't exhibit this issue - but then again, the SG2 is on a custom rom so there could be a patch in play.

End call question

hey guys, just a quick question about the NOTE 10+ - as ive moved from iphone to samsung.
When I end a call there is a delay where the phone shows ENDING CALL.... then goes back to the dial pad screen. Is there a way to reduce the time it shows that end call screen?
And also in the recent call screen is there a way to simply tap the name and it calls straight away? Rather then showing the option of CALL MESSAGE etc?
Thank you for the help
Richie

Could answer the second question, you can swipe to right for call or swipe left for messages on the recent list.
At least from what I have experienced this is another way instead of selecting name and then call for a faster calling.
But hope someone else could pitch in and answer the rest for you.
