Help using phone with Bluetooth while phone is holster issue.

I keep my 3vo in a belt holster while working, and keep a Bluetooth in my ear. When the phone rings, and I answer it, all is usually ok. When the Bluetooth is hung up however, the phone screen unlocks in the case and randomly dials or does other weird shit because it is bouncing around the inside of the case. How do I prevent the phone from "waking up" when I hang up the blue tooth?
 
Phone is positioned in a belt case so that the side with the volume controls is pointing up, and the screen is pressing against the inside of the case (or outside... it does it both ways). When the phone rings, I press the answer button on the bluetooth. The phone never comes out of the case. When I answer, the screen lights up if I peak in the case, and eventually goes into sleep mode. When I hang up, the phone lights up again, and it is unlocked. Chaos ensues...

I guess this is the part that I don't understand... when I answer/hang up using the BT (not the phone), the lock screen prevents the home screen from even showing up. :thinking:
Are there other BT users who could check their phone's behavior?

I have the exact same issue with my HTC One XL and Plantronics Voyager Pro HD bluetooth headset.

I have Android version 4.0.3, HTC Sense 4.0, Software number 1.89.841.9, HTC SDK API level 4.11, HTCExtension_403_1_GA_4, Kernel version 3.0.8-01159-g631150a root@ABM009 #1 SMP PREEMPT, Baseband version 0.18c.32.09.01_10.93a.32.20L, Build number 1.89.841.9 CL68677 release-keys, Browser version WebKit/534.30

Hi EvoMax, did you find a solution to this issue?
