Hi,
Sometimes, when my DHD is in my pocket and it rings, I take it out of my pocket and, Unintentionally, rejecting the call (it seems that I am touching the screen).
Any idea how to stop it from happen?
Hi, I use Call Confirm App as I used to have the same problem, thankfully not anymore now.
What is the name of the apps?
Thanks
Call Confirm App
I installed it but it is good only for outgoing calls.
I need an app for incoming calls.
Oops sorry about that still haven't got rid of my hangover yet.
Only other thing I can suggest is get a leather-ish flip case.
I use one I got off the "bay" and it does the job OK.
Del.
Thanks.
No app?
I have exactly the same problem.
If you like, you can check my theme here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911474 and especially its last post... but I havent found any "full" solution yet.
I have the same problem too.. :/ The only solution so far is to pull it out from the pocket very carefully without touching the screen. That just annoys the hell out of me.
I believe this will solve your problem. It's in the market and it allows you to delay button presses, to prevent accidental rejections. Check it out.

you have several options, but unfortunely none of them are great! =oP
this "slide" is a part of htc framework, so it can't be changed (if you wanna stay with sense)
so, when i'm with sense i prefer widget locker, it's a really great app, "solve" this problem by put a unlock screen over the original one (so, you pick out the pocket, unlock the phone/widget locker, see who is calling and slide up/down to answer/deny, basicaly you need to unlock you phone twice)
other idea is simply disable the lock screen and use widget locker to unlock the phone, the idea is:
- Disabling lockscreen you will get a incoming call with no slider, it will be replaced by that simple two buttons "answer" and "decline" (the same you got when the phone rings and you are using it)
- when lockscreen is disabled, the screen goes off, but any key turn it on again, so, you use widget locker to solve it, and let the option "over the original answer/deny call" ticked (but it won't stay over anything, because lockscreen is disabled)
you can also try http://www.appbrain.com/app/proximity-screen-off/com.itsme4ucz.screenoff
that app has a option that let your phone with screen off when it is in your pocket, using proximity sensor.

my screen goes blank.. but the call is still pending sometimes.
So I found out real quick last night while playing with my 6 month old baby that this watch needs some sort of lock. When she was squirming around in my arms the Google Voice commands opened a dozen times and she tried to share some of my notifications and reply with Voice for a couple of text messages. And this was all within the first 15 minutes.
I was wondering if there was anyone else experiencing this and their thoughts. I saw a couple of lock screen apps out there but I was thinking with the Moto 360 it would be really nice if that side button was a lock / unlock button for when you want the watch to remain in the ambient mode and not wake up from screen taps. I know that the button switches the watch to ambient mode but it does not seem to lock the screen from touches. Might be a nice idea for future implementation as I have not used the side button for anything yet as the screen wakes when I lift the watch to my face.
What are your thoughts?
this exact thing happened to me yesterday! I have an 8 month old and the watch just attracted him lol
I don't have a creature, but I too would like for the watch to only activate when I want it to. I want to have to press the button to turn the screen on.
Have you guys tried Showear or Lockable? Both are free but Lockable charges for the pin unlock feature.
I don't want just a screen lock, but a lock that completely keeps the screen turned off until I press the hard button on the side. (To not waste battery when I definitely don't want the screen to turn on by touch and/or accelerometer). Does an app exist for this?

Have you tried to shower with it on?
It thinks the water is you touching it, and it goes crazy!

That is exactly what I am looking for. Something that keeps it in the Ambient mode until I press the side button and locking the touch screen. It seems like an easy enough option because the button really has no other use as you can turn the screen on and off by tilting your hand. So it would probably serve better as a locking button.

I do not shower with a watch on so I have not tried it. I am sure it would go crazy. Another reason for a lock button.
Yea a lock app or something would be nice mine is so sensitive I could sneeze and it turns it on..hope something comes about soon
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Free mobile app
I have come across an app called Baby Time which locks the watch and only allows a specific swipe gesture of up twice and then down twice. Kinda gets the task done but it would be a lot simpler if it was activated by the button on the Moto 360. Another comment is that it replaces the watch face you have with one created in the app which for some reason does not seem to have an option out of the 24 hour clock. I will use for now but I am hopeful that something better will come along. Also have to start the app by saying "Start Baby TIme"
Lol!

Hi,
I've had my M9 for a couple of weeks now, and slowly getting it to work how I want it to. One thing nagging me is this weird issue I have with waking the device from sleep.
I have tried to disable all the gesture/smart wake features (double tap the screen, etc). The issue I'm having seems to relate to the light and/or proximity sensor. It seems (and I haven't been able to find any info on this, online or on the phone) that there is a feature which will enable the device to wake up when being picked up or taken out of my pocket. This doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. When I pull my phone from my pocket, it will sometimes wake up. When I glide my finger over the front camera & light sensor, it will sometimes wake up. This is a minor annoyance, as I would like to only be able to wake my device by hitting the power button.
It gets really annoying when these 'gesture' wakes start to interfere with the power button wake. For example (and this is happening more often than not), when I pull my phone out of my pocket, the phone is off, then I hit the power button once, and the phone still doesn't wake. Hitting the power button a second time will wake the device. It seems to me that the smart waking is some how interfering with the manual waking.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
Any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks a lot for any help.
This is really odd considering the M9 doesn't support air gestures. Sorry, I have no solution, but is it possible you may have installed an app that may be causing this?
I would think two button push would be the normal, otherwise you could accidentally hit it once and turn the screen on. Do you have Ambient display and pocket detection all turned off ?
Gravity Screen in the play store gives you total control of all that stuff
That for the replies guys.
Clsa, there is no way to disable ambient display & pocket detect because those features do not exist on the M9 (at least... Not that I have found). That's what is bugging me.
I don't think the 2 button press is normal. I've never had to do it on previous phones.
Fernand - not sure if it is another app causing it. I think I have no extra apps installed compared to my last phone.
I just tried Gravity Screen, and it seems to just give me the ability to enable all the features I want to disable.
Any other suggestions?

Pocket Detection is part of some Rom Tweaks (insertcoin & viperOne if i remember right)
Hi again, that option is not available on my phone. Do you see it on your M9?
I don't have a custom ROM. Not rooted either.

Yes I have it, but I'm on LeeDroid right now. He adds so much stuff i forget whats "custom" and whats stock
Got the same issue
The power button will ignore the first push while standing by for a long time. Thought it might be caused by apps like greentify?
Hi Ducati, is that a fact or is that just how you understand it? Seems strange that that would be intentional. But it definitely seems to be the case.
I do not have greenify installed either.
Do you get similar behaviour on your One?
After a bit more testing. I can confirm that there are some sort of air gestures on this device. I can wave my finger in front of the front light sensor/camera, and the device will wake.
This doesn't happen all the time, I am not always able to reproduce this. But right now, it is happening. Can anyone else reproduce this?
http://somevid.com/N1OnU8JS
I have the same issue on my M9. Glad I found this thread. Thought my power button was defective.
I can't activate any gestures by waving my hand.
I think it's happening mostly when waking from deep sleep.
I know it's an old thread, but I just installed CyanogenMod 12.1 and I guess my google-fu is rusty. I find that if I hit the power button in quick succession (double click) it turns off the phone. Anyone know how I can stop this?
By quick succession I mean multiple times within 20 seconds
I'm having issues with the screen not turning back on after a call or even listening to audio messages. I have to relock and then unlock to get it to work, very annoying.
I'm on 8.1, on magisk with xposed.
Could someone recommend me an app or a module?
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/71510515
You along with a bunch of us... ota messed it up
Good to know, I'm not the only one. Doesn't seem related to screen protector.
Really wish I can disable the proximity sensor for now.
I guess I came to the wrong thread. I don't have any issues like that or at least I don't notice it because I is the power button to turn the screen in/off all the time and I set my lock screen to not relock the phone for 5 minutes or something like that. That way I don't gotta enter my unlock code. There also is a setting which is supposed to keep your phone unlocked as long as you don't set it down. There also is a setting that keeps your phone from locking if you are within range of a Bluetooth (headseat maybe) device. I dunno try some of those options maybe you won't need to type your code in as much.
Personally I came here because I am looking for a way to completely disable my proximity sensor. I absolutely hate them on all phones. How stupid is it that they put the proximity sensor I right up next to where you have to put your hand if you want to pull down the menu bar??? It's like I go to pull down the menu bar - screen off. ****! Power button, slide open the lock screen (no code needed). Pull menu bar - screen off ****! Power.... Slide....menu bar - screen off. Of course it only does that during calls however that's a pretty annoying time because you're usually focused on other things and not wanting to **** with the screen going on and off.
Who the needs a proximity sensor to detect one's face anyway? I just click the power button every time I put the phone to my ear. Any time I don't do that, I run the risk of my cheek pressing the mute button for the 9000th time in my life. I do love Android though.

So it works too well for you with your finger but not enough for your face to prevent muting? LOL. Sorry never had that problem. I just avoid the middle if I had to get to the notifications during a call.
It happens often when I'm trying to toggle BT because my BT icon is directly under it.... For example. Anyway, I don't find it useful to even have an proximity sensor. That's why I stumbled in here, my search query was the exact title. I'm not really experiencing the problem the others were talking about though....

Who needs a proximity sensor? Really? You basically answered your own question. To turn off the screen when you put it to your face so that your face doesn't press anything on the screen. Having to press the power button every time you put the phone to your face and then press it again every time you take it away from your face would suck.

I always use speaker or bluetooth and proximity sometimes turns the phone off spuriously so I disable it.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs
Yeah.....no basically pressing the power button is where it's at. It the again I'm not one who likes everything done for me. Absolutely NO PHONE I've ever owned has had a proximity sensor that was worth a ****. They all, at one time or another, allow the screen to wake up subsequently letting the microphone mute button to enable. The mute button is another piece of Android trash that needs redesigning. It is not often that mute is needed so why not out that in a drop-down menu or something since it inevitably gets pressed during calls due to a ****y proximity sensor and Screen wake setup.
I also drive a manual transmission car. Actually the last 5 cars I've owned have been manual shifted. When YOU are in 100% control of your devices, there are certain niceities which are otherwise unavailable. But that's only if you're the type who doesn't gotta have everything done for them.
As far as you go buddy, if you like the proximity sensor that's fine. Personally I don't ****ing care what you like. thanks for a wasted Fred post which contacted my email to have me come back here to tell you what a waste of time that was thanks.

So I assume you have earbuds, or if not, you can get some really cheap earbuds from the gas station, and when needed, you can plug it in, and it will register that it has earbuds in and will light up again, disabling the proximity sensor. You can leave it in as well, until you need it to talk, unless it will work while calling. This should work, I haven't personally tried it.

Hi,
Hope you managed to solve the issue.
If you haven't then
1. Install sensor disable from xposed repo. It's an old app so there are a few bugs when you try to remove the sensor as such.
2. Buy the Pro version or use lucky patcher to disable in app purchases for Sensor Disabler.
3. Go to the settings of Sensor Disabler and blacklist the apps that you don't want the proximity to work on.(I had problems with my WhatsApp. But it works perfectly now.)
This has been bugging the ISH out of me....
On my OP6.. if i was on a call and i touched my FP sensor it unlocks the phone for me to access anything i want.
When on my P3XL doing the same doesn't produce the same results at all, i have to bring down notification window press settings and then it asks for FP.
I also have my navbar hidden, which can be affecting how this entire thing functions too, not sure.
Has someone figured out a way around this?
I just called my phone from my work number and the fingerprint sensor unlocked. Phone was locked when I called it, I called my phone, swiped up to answer. While in the call I tapped the home button and was taken to the lock screen. Touching fingerprint sensor brought me to home screen. With the screen off, touching fingerprint sensor also unlocked and brought me to the home screen.

well that's because you still have your home button..
I suppose this is more relative to those using gestures and hid their navbar...
I also did it with screen off, as I said, and it worked both ways.

Try shutting the screen off first. I just tried again and with phone locked got a call and pressed sensor with screen on and nothing happened. Tap power first then touch sensor and it should unlock. I don't have gesture nav so I can't rest that part.

What gesture app are you using. Some will pause themselves when the phone is locked. When you answer the phone while it's locked the app may have paused it's self so it's not really running. That's why your swipe up to go home is not working
