When im receiving a phone call my phone remains blacked out, It still vibrates and rings,but I don't get any caller information. I do not have a screen protector so nothing is blocking the sensor. I believe it has something to do with the incallui but I can't figure out how to access that either. Any help would be appreciated

Is it possible to fix the lock screen so after a Bluetooth call the phone goes back to lock screen? Now it just goes to the call log in a fully unlocked state.
It's really annoying that it doesn't do that anymore. Sometimes, more often then not, after a bt call in my car, the phone would be in my jeans pocket, and because it remains unlocked, there would be all kind of touch screen presses.
Our could someone recommend a good lock screen replacement?
Thanks.

is there anyway to lock this phone so when its in your pocket and you're jamming out to some tunes, the screen doesnt turn on or the volume doesnt change? I've had this phone unlock it self and its beyond annoying. Also the screen will be off, phone locked, and if i get an email or text or what ever, the screen comes on every time. It didnt bother me at first but its starting to get to me now.
Tell me about it. My Note 1 pocket dialed 911 recently; I noticed a stern voicemail an hour later telling me if it was a real emergency to dial back. For those who don't know, when you use a PIN lock, an "emergency dial" button shows up, and one swipe and a tap in the right place can dial 911 (the Note 2 / JellyBean helps by not having "911" as a single-tap choice).
Anyway, couple things you can try. The flip screen protector (from Samsung) will prevent inadvertent screen presses while in a pocket. It works very well, though I personally don't really like having to flip open a cover on top of a phone this size.
It might be possible to use another SMS app like Handcent that won't turn the screen on when you get a text, but I haven't verified that. I haven't figured out how to prevent the screen from lighting up when a text comes in using the stock app, but the flip cover would prevent any screen taps from happening when it does.
I tried a proximity lock (turns screen off when prox sensor is activated), which worked, but there is some odd behavior. When you get a text and the screen kicks on, the proximity sensor app doesn't know you want the phone to go back to sleep, so I think it prevents deep sleep after that (battery drain?). And it also interferes with the phone's ability to use the proximity sensor during phone calls, so after the first phone call and subsequent proximity lock, it no longer works at all during calls until the service is restarted. You might experiment with these though. There's one called "ProximityService 2.1" (Google it since it was released in a Droid forum IIRC) and others are available in the market.
No software tips on the volume buttons, but if you get a TPU style case the cutouts will make them less likely to get pressed. I wish they were recessed just a little more or harder to press. I don't like the TPU cases because they add bulk to the phone.
Note 2 Verizon Rooted. Two weeks ago my phone started this. When ever I make a phone call, the screen cuts off. The problem is it wont come back on until the call has ended. Now if i reach someone this isnt a huge issue, but if I have to deal with an automated system, or get someones voice mail i Have to do a battery pull. Does anyone know what is going on? Please help.
Try to clear data of phone app.

Same Problem
I had the same problem, I found it was the cover I had on my phone that prevented the phone to go back on during a call.
This is a problem related to the proximity sensor. It's something very hard to clean so I just disabled turn off screen during calls option. Just go to your dialer press menu button then click call settings you should see turn of screen calls option, disable it.
Your cheek probably touch to screen and press random buttons when you're on the phone so remember to turn off your screen by on off button so you dont touch buttons with your cheek.
Hope that solves your problem
edit: I found that sometimes blowing through the speaker makes proximity sensor work correctly for a while. It's not a practical solution though.

Thanks for the information everyone! I busted the screen a few months ago and assume that's whats causing it. I just didn't think that was it because it hadn't been a problem until well after I busted it. Ill disable this option and that will take care of it for my needs.
Sorry for my English, so I used the google translator.
My question is this:
I have a large, even big problem. Most of the time, both as a nock on nockcode not work and can hardly unlock the screen, just only after many attempts.
When I am in a call and when I want to finish I can not because the screen remains blocked and not with the power button can finish (the power button is clear-cut to terminate calls) and if it is not the other person to hang up the call to continue listen to the conversation and only removing the battery do I get out of this quite annoying situation. I'm getting sick of this smartphone because the operation does not accompany his features.
Already changed to costumizadas roms and continues all the same and not even with wipes or factory resets it there will.
Does anyone have or have had this problem and managed to solve.
Thank help.

Is anything blocking your proximity sensor?
Knock on: If your hand or anything blocks the proximity sensor the screen will not turn on.
In Call: Place phone to ear, block sensor and screen off - unblock sensor screen should turn back on.
Make sure nothing is blocking it like a screen protector or a case.
I had the same issue with my G2 because of a screen protector that was blocking the Prox sensor.
also a protective case could be blocking the sensor.
I do not use any protective screen and the proximity sensor is working well.
Is there a way to get around this? I recently flashed Blisspop with just one major issue
After a phone call, I cannot hang up unless the other person hangs up first. My screen turns black and doesn't respond to the power button or the home button unless they hang up first, then it wakes up and says call ended. If they don't pick up the phone at all, my phone will be stuck on a black screen indefinitely unless I do a hard reboot.
How do I fix this? Is there another phone app I can use?

Same issue here. Phone dialer and also Hangouts dialer - both blacked during call.
Same issue here! The problem is with the proximity sensor. I disabled it on the phone app until any fix for it. When you disable the proximity sensor the screen stay on during the calls and you can turn it off manually.

Checkout an app on the play store call Proximity Fix by rognaas. I've got it to work on 2 different phones. CM 12.1 has the same issue. Requires root.
