In case you guys don't understand which screen I mean, it's the one that you see when you get incoming calls (or making outgoing calls as well).
The screen is almost always rotated when I pick up my phone from my pocket to answer an incoming call and then I need to hold the phone straight for a couple of seconds to get the screen to rotate back!
It's irritating as hell
Perhaps this has been answered in some other thread but I didn't find it.
Not a single reply... Am I the only one who finds this to be a problem?
apparently.
if you are bothered by it being in landscape when you take it out of your pocket, store it vertically.
if you can't slide to answer in landscape mode, set the home key to accept calls and the power key to end/reject calls in the settings.
also, if the time for the rotation takes to long, you can calibrate the g sensor.
what you described is really not a problem to be bothered by. hope, at least one of these options might solve it for you.
Didn't know there was a mod for it!

Thanxxxxxxxxx man! Really nice find, exactly what is was looking for.
Hello everybody.
I have a rooted 4.0.4 XXLFB Galaxy S3 and have noticed a problem.
Whenever I'm on a call using my blueooth headset, the screen turns on once every 30 seconds, give or take.
It's a problem because if I have the phone in my pocket, sometimes I mute the call, other times I turn off the headset...
Does anybody know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.
Posting to add a "me too" to the list. Trying a ton of different things, almost to the point of clean device.
Hit the button and the screen turns off, about 2-5 seconds later, screen turns back on. Does not matter what I do. Seems to do it with speakerphone option too. If neither Bluetooth nor speakerphone are used, and you put the phone to your ear, backlight stays off. Otherwise, it automatically turns back on by itself. Tried with wifi on/off, speaker with bt on/off, different headsets, etc. My Wife's does not have this issue, so I gotta look into what is different. There has gotta be a setting or app installed that is doing this. I've even tried apps such as screebl and others. Some even had a thing to say lock it off till press button, and it still comes back on after 2-5 seconds. I've muted and hung up on many people when the phone was in my pocket because of this issue.
I've not used a BT headset but i'm thinking that maybe because the phone isn't against your head the screen comes on. possibly to give you information about the caller.
I'm not saying you should put the phone to your head even though your using bluetooth either.
thanks, but, don't help, tried that too. Had entire top half of phone covered during most tests. Screen does not turn off unless I press button, then comes back on automatically after 2-5 seconds. I did find one app today that seemed to work, but not sure if it works too well "Smart Screen Off".
Sounds silly but have you tried locking the handset?
That's what I meant by pressing the button. Button on right side that if I am not on a call, turns off screen and locks it.
Ok - narrowed it down a ton. If I leave the in-call status screen up, the screen turns back on after being turned off via power button. If I hit home or have any other screen active, it remains off. So dialer related, but I can deal with an extra button press.

agree with the above. if you leave call status up while connected via BT headset, screen remains active (comes in and out). if you exit active call status (ie press home) then the screen timeout works. if you are talking on the phone without headset, no problem.
so yes, that's the prob. any solid fix yet?
please and thanks....

Thanks a lot, visegrip. It was really frustating having to redial every other call because i hang up without noticing.
Any solution to this problem? Hitting a home button and locking the phone is not an option when I keep my phone in a leather holster on my belt. That's a main reason for having bluetooth as hands free.
Problem solved by using Tasker. If anyone need APK patch file to fix a problem, let me know and I'll post it here

You know, I use tasker and have been trying to figure this out for a while. I've also been trying Secure settings and Locale Using multiple settings and plug-ins. I have not been able to create anything yet that seems completely reliable.
Not trying to be rude or anything, but I am and always have been a little leary of installing APK files unless I know the source. However, if you would be so kind to post the contexts and tasks so that I may enter them myself manually, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Well, It's pretty easy.
Profile -> Phone Offhook
Task:
Wait 20 seconds
App-> Go Home
Display -> System Lock
In case if you'll have any problems just use my apk file which is exactly the same.
Good news! I just took the Jelly Bean update from sprint & this problem is FIXED!
I tried calling and turned off the screen and it stayed off!
I also called and didn't touch the screen and after the timeout, it turned itself off!
Hmmmmm... OK. Thank you. I'll have to try that and see how it works. I was looking, hoping and working on trying to get something that would keep the screen off. Dialing, talking and ending the call. I've got something that seems to work for the most part, (I still get quick flashes, which is fine) but still have some more work to do on it.

It's not fixed. I'm getting crazy about this master bug.
My phone is rooted and everything was ok, I must mention that phone was never droped or something..
Haptic is ON, power saving is OFF and vibration is not working.. does anyone have a clue what could be?
I search here over the forum, but I didn't find any solution..
Last option is service, but I need reset phone tu original software (is there any simple tutorial?)
thx
Not sure if it's the case of your ROM, but check if you don't have any software that turns screen off e.g. with proximity sensor.
I noticed on stock rom vibration stops when screen goes off. I had to enable the phone to manage screen off/on during calls (and the screen generally stays on at the "answer" screen") as I'm using ProximityScreenOff.
the issue was vibrating motor, not software, they replace it in service
Hey guys, firstly I want to say, that I have absolutely no clue about developing, or compiling and such.
I know a lot about computers and smartphones (especially Android) but I´ve never developed anything before.
And I do not speak any programming language.
So, what I need, is a way to turn the notifications LED off, via doubletapping the screen. (This should only happen, if the screen is turned off)
Basically I want a "double tap too temporarily disable the notifications LED, until the screen is turned on and off again" function.
I have literally no idea how to start this, and I need some help on this.
My plan would be, to make a kernel-module which kinda reacts to doubletapping the screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
