Hi All,
I've found a strange little problem with my new HTC 3600i, for a little while (1 or 2 minutes) after a call my start menu doesn't work (no matter if i select from the windows button or clicking the screen via stylus). I've also noted that the Green call button also doesn't work.
This doesn't happy 100% of the time, but often enough to be annoying.
Any suggestions?
TIA

I got my Exec yesterday and I've only got the one problem. For the first two hours or so, I could get the phone function to work. Either by going through the 'Start' menu or just by pressing the green call button.
I've woken up this morning and although I can press the green buttons or the option on the start menu, it'll be beep but that's all it will do, it'll just carry on with what it is doing.
Anyone else had this problem or got ay suggestions?
I had this problem when I ended the phone application in Task Manager. A soft reset fixed it for me.
Hey guys, i noticed that when the screen turns off or goes into stand by and you recieve an SMS/MMS message, the alert sound still comes on, but the screen stays off. Is there a way to change this? It's sort of annoying having to press the top button just to see if a text message comes in. Can it be tweaked in the registry? If so, what would one have to do to change it? I have a registry editor installed on my phone so if anyone has any ideas......go ahead
Standby when phone call received
Hey all,
An extension of the Q above, When I make or receive phone calls, the screen shortly after goes blank, he only way to see the screen again to press the "Call" buttin again, which puts the caller the call on hold. I have to quickly press the "Unhold button again " which is very annoying!
Any ideas any1?
Thanks in Advance...

Use the power on\off button on top instead of pressing the the Dial button.. it was annoying for me too but the power button does it for me and it's better than to keep the screen on during the whole call since all my calls are above five mins
bump...someone has to have some idea what can be done to fix this
If you install HDTweak ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505 ), you can disable the screen switching off during a call and/or make the device wake up when a new SMS is received. It works for me.
Installing HD tweak and then going to 2.2 will solve your problem.
try the hd tweak or the diamond config both have twaeks to activate the screen when you receive the sms. but be sure to lock the phone for when you have it in your pocket.
NICE!!!! thanks guys for the info, i will try this ASAP when i get home
GAWD I LOVE THIS FORUM
Doesn't work for me

Hi there, I disabled 1.1 and it still does not seem to work for me
However, Enabled 2.1 and that works.
Please help ...
In HDtweak, I have 1.1 disabled, 1.2 Disallow, 1.3 Disabled
The screen doesn't go off during a call. I can always press the power button to turn off/on the screen manually if i want to save battery during a long call (or not attract attention when calling on a dark street!)

Thanks!
Hi there,
I am a little ticked off with the way the phone switches the light off and you HAVE to press a button to get it back up when in the middle of a call.
Is there any way to keep the phone awake while on a call? Ofcourse, I HAVE tried out "Shake Awake", but thats a little buggy too.
And also, the buttons for Hold, Mute, Speaker mode and all those options come up only when you press the menu button. Is there any alternate dialler available or something which can get all these options on the screen while on the call like the iPhone as its easier to use it than press the button to get the options?
just install keepscreen.
edit: this will keep the screen alive. about the alternative dialer i don't know. but be aware that the phone has no proximity sensor, so you are prone to accidentally press random buttons.
Cool. Will check it out man. Thanks.
I have a different problem - since, sadly, Hero has not got a proximity sensor, I constantly drop my calls by accidently touching the end call button with my cheek. I believe that's a reason the screen backlight goes off so quickly during a call - when the screen is off, it does not react to touch too, so that accident call drops would be less likely.
There are still some serious problems though. First of all, screen timeout during a call is not short nough - while you can know that you must wait a few seconds before you can actually touch the phone with the face, others can't, so call drops are, sadly, unavoidable in such cases. The fact that hold, mute and other buttons are hidden under the menu button is a good thing not only because it keeps Android phillosophy straight, but reduces chances of unwanted misc. actions. The solution of this problem could be an option to disable the end call button, since there are dedicated hardware keys for that.
I have also noticed that if you minimize the dialer during a call with home button, the screen timeout will not be quick, so before continuing a call it's a good idea to bring the dialer back by tapping the hardware call button so the screen timeout becomes quiick again.
Very true. I thought about all these before I posted, but on the other end, I just said 'f it' to myself and asked it here.. hehe.
I wonder if iPhone users have such issues.
As someone in this forum mentioned, it is best to have the screen switched OFF during a call, unless you have something to do. This way, it prevents you from fiddling with the controls.
Not just the hero, earlier models too have this feature. It quite odd in the beginning, but you will love it later.

Not necessary!
During a call
- Press "Call" to hold (will also mute)
- Press and hold "Call" to activate speaker mode.
I'm having strange problem with calls on hold. This is Android 2.2 (Desire Z ROM on T-Mobile HD2). Here is my scenario
During Call1, second call (Call2) comes in. I answer Call2 and automatically Call1 goes on hold. Good so far. Once I'm done with Call2, I disconnect Call2. But ... Call1 is still on hold. It does NOT automatically become active. And I do not see any way on "UnHold" it There is red button "End Call" on screen. There is notification about call "on hold" in notification (top) bar. But there is no button, no nothing which could help me RETRIEVE Call1 from hold.
Any ideas ?
Calls on hold can be unholded by pressin the windows flag, the option is there, and to switch between calls, after you are done with call 2 tap on call one and normally you should switch to that call, but either way thats where its located.
Thanks. Used to WM way of handling "Hold" where everything is on screen.
This has been a consistent bug I've had over months of different versions of cm11. When I make or receive calls there is an option to show the dealer screen to press buttons during a call; this never loads properly the first time for me. It just shows a small part of the top of the dialer when I press the button to show it. If I press the back button and load it again it works fine. Does anyone else have this bug or know a fix? I've tried resetting the data for the phone app. Thanks.
