Screen lock coming on during call causing microphone to cut out?

[Guest booms81]

Hi all,

 

I’ve got this strange bug with my SU6 and was wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing.

 

My phone’s on the stock 5.0.2 and as far as I’m aware I don’t have any strange settings regarding calling. I normally use a pattern for security that kicks in after 5 minutes without use, and with the ‘power button locks immediately’ setting turned to off.

 

When I try and make or receive a call, everything works fine for a few seconds – then the screen turns off as I bring it up to my head – (fairly standard, using the proximity sensor). But then the screen lock kicks in and the person at the other end can’t hear me, though I can still hear them. If I unlock the screen lock on the phone everything works fine till the next time I pick the phone up to my ear.

 

I’m still trying to test what does/doesn’t bring it on. I’ve found that by turning off my screen password altogether – the problem is gone. But obviously that leaves me with a totally unsecure phone.

 

After some Googling I can’t find anyone in the world who’s got the same problem – so wondering if it might be an SU6 thing?

 

Any similar experiences or ideas for what might be causing this?

I don't use the security lock so haven't experienced this but 5.1.1 is out now anyway, install and try it again.

Thanks - I turned the pattern security on and off, and also upgraded to 5.1. All seems good now!
