Am sure that i have seen this somewhere but i searched to no avail.
When making a call the screen will still turn off, which means if i want to do anything during the call i have to push the power button on the side of the device to turn it back on to hangup etc.
Any Ideas ??
I thought this was a good thing. The screen turns off in order to save the battery. If you want it back on you just tap the power button and do whatever you want to do. If it stayed on for entire phone calls you would end up with very short battery life.
However, there may be a registry edit that can lengthen this time or make it stay on for the entire call. I just wouldn't recommend it.
For me, hanging up works when the screen is off. I think.
thanks guys, i just came from the phone world and i suppose i want my PDA to have the same battery life as the old nokia, but i also want all the cool pda features.
Just not going to happen.

it does, just carry a couple of extra batteries and you're set. Now the question is would you trade this for that?
pressing the end call button works when the screen is off

Funny thing is i would carry the batteries. I got off ebay and ordered for my boss and myself car kit, batteries, and docking station with battery charger. So for the time that im not @ my desk or in the car we should be set.
Mine doesn't turn off during calls, but i do turn it off manually with the power button so my ear doesn't open apps during the call.
Mine doesnt turn off either, is this a rom specific or am i missing an option somewhere, at the moment i press the power button on the side when i make a call, cos im forever pressing the screen and opening stuff, then have to close it all when the call ends, let me know what im missing out on

I WANT my screen to turn off when phoning..
How do I set this up?
Hey,
I think this is the same "timeout" that you have set for your screen to turn off in the powersave feature. I haven't looked, but I think it only turns the backlight off, not the screen.
Unfortunately the hermes screen is hard to see AT ALL when the backlight is off. Some past devices I had, you could still READ during daylight.
HTH
ok i find it funny that nobody thinks that it is anoying as fk that the screen turns off if you are calling say to activate a card or any automated answering service and need to type numbers in you dont have access to it ..so I guess I will re ask the question is there a reg hack to make the screen stay on while in a call any help would be nice ty

you should follow the steps in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3227589&postcount=5
Hi all,
The proximity function makes the screen go blank during a phone call. But if somebody sends you an SMS, the screen wakes up nonetheless during the call. At that time, your ear can easily press the red button that drops the call.
Has anybody a solution for this behavior?
regards, Rene
I don't know if this will make any difference, but it's the first thing that springs to mind. There's a setting in BsB Tweaks for "SMS Wake Up". If you ensure that that is disabled, it may stop the phone waking up when you get an SMS.
This obviously means that it would never wake up when you get an SMS, so there may be a trade-off there. Depends what you want overall.
Hope this helps
hold on a sec... what sort of trade off You are talking about?? this option means, that incoming sms won't turn on Your screen and wake up the device, but it is still delivered instantly and You can hear it's notification. imho it is a great tweak, a real must do.

To be honest, I'm not sure, but I believe that's what it is, yes. BUT, I thought it was turned off by default. Maybe check in BsB Tweaks the state of that setting.
Ok guys I am searching but i need my screen to lock when im on a call i even managed to get into comm manager today and put the phone into flight mode what the hell ?? lol
when u put the phone to your ear, the proximity sensor should automaticaly turn off the screen.
It does but sometimes if i change ear if im on a call for a long time obv the screen comes on its just annoying i have even cut a few people off, surely im not the only person who cant take a call properly lol

THIS!!!
Absolutely ridiculous.
actually... sometimes i dial a number and put it to my ear... and when it starts ringing the screen comes on... i hate this... anyone knows why?... the sensor is fully covered...
Same problem...I already opened a thread for this, but no solution (apparently)
It's really annoying!
It would be just great if we had a menu button to turn it off again.
Contacted HTC, waiting for reply.
They replied that this is a normal behavior and nothing else we can do, onoly find some app which does that.
Any ideas?

@ EgoMaximus
good find im trying it now seems to do the trick,
Try InCallLock as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556801 disables hardware buttons, good when taking phone out of the pocket or so.
so i deleted that app, what happened to my slidey lock screen?
Pocketshield can do that.
See an in-call demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMf8C5k7TGM#t=0m55s
Does the hardware windows key then 'lock' in the bottom left not do it?
i think wețre deviating from the main problem... out of the box HD2 SHOULD know to "close" the screen when in a call and covering the proximity sensor...
for me it does this as supposed but not always....
normal behaviour... make a call... put the phone to the ear... as long as the phone has the sensor covered the screen stays off
my random behaviour.... press call... put the phone to my ear (the sensor fully covered)... the screen turns off... when it starts ringing the screen goes on.... i take the phone away from the ear and put it back... the screen goes back off.... when the other end answers the screen goes back on... putting the phone away and back to the ear turns the screen off again.....
THIS DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!

+1000000 Since I have my HD2 I read all the forum to find a solution.
This is the only message I can read I find someone really boring with this problem. This is for me the problem Number 1 of the HD2.... the only one in fact .
I saw o lot of nice CAB for HD2, a lot of nice tweak etc... So why can't we find a CAB or why HTC make a patch for this boring bug..
Are we the only 2 HD2 owner to be really bore ?
this really p!sses me off too! during the lat 3 calls i accidentially hung up at least 3x per call will try the cab posted earlyer.
i just don't get it why is so hard to provide this feature wich is on every standard rom...
HTC Roms will not do that by default, neither the WM standard lock. You need a 3rd party screen locker
oh yes they do... with my stock rom when in call there is a courtain over all the buttons like mute, speaker etc... when that courtain is active nothing works except the start/end call and slide the courtain to gain acces to other buttons... so the uper bar is not activated if touched....
Hi guys.
I have this strange problem.
If I dont use my phone for a while and I go to use it it the screen sometimes doesnt come on. The buttons light up but that is all.
i have tried to call it when that happens and I can hear a ringtone but the phone itself doesnt ring. The only solution is to pull the battery out.
When I switch it back on the call I made to the phone doesnt appear on the call history as a missed call either.
I am using energy rom
Anyone got any ideas?

mine done that, i always use the call button rather then the hang up to wake it up, not had a problem since, hope it helps!
Nice to know I am not alone.
Just been looking at miri's latest rom and apparently he has put a fix in for some people whose phone didnt wake up, so am flashing phone now to see how it goes
Just as an update, been three days since I reflashed with miri rom and no problems.
I realise that this is quite a useful function, but for me, it's troublesome, especially if the call doesn't get through, and I am sent to voicemail. You see, I believe that either my light sensor or my proximity sensor is not functioning properly. When I accept a call, call someone, the screen goes off, and doesn't come back on till the call ends, or I take out the battery and put it back in.
I'm sure this is a hardware thing, as I've tried installing Android, and the problem persists. I don't really want to spend money fixing my phone, as I can't really afford it right now. So, back to my question, is there a way to make sure the screen doesn't turn off when I'm calling someone? Is there a registry tweak or something? Or is there a setting I'm just not seeing?
I'm using pdaimatejam's WP7 version 8.1 (I think) ROM, if that makes any difference.
Thanks!
this is normal operate, not error... screen go off for reason you not break call when phone too close to ear with touch... but when you move phone from ear screen must turn on again....

When you accept a call, its a feature of Windows to switch off the light but sometimes it never comes back and you are stuck at "no display". I also face the same issue. Its the ROM bug. I'm also using pdaimatejam's WP7.
Don't worry... Your phone is fine
Also had this happen twice. But then I disabled the feature to turn on the speaker when the phone is turned during a call and it didn't happen ever since. Not sure if that's really the cause, but you could give it a try.

As I've mentioned, my phone light doesn't come back on when I remove it from my ear. This cannot be normal. It can't be normal that I have to reseat the battery after every failed call.

If you read my original post, I mentioned that I tried this on Android as well, and I get the same problem.

Are you talking about the settings in the "Attentive Phone" section? Didn't work for me.

Yes I did.
I have the same problem as you, although I have not tried flashing android yet but that is my next step. When on a call screen goes off and never turns back on.
I use bluetooth headset so I can kill the call with it and screen comes back thankfully. But I can't delete voice mails or use the screen at all during a call. ON Pdaimatejam's 8.5 rom.
We don't have a fix for this yet?
for me its oks.. if the screen is off it may touch your skin and could end the call...if you remove the phone from your ear and would like to use the dialer while still on the call, the screen powers up automatically..

But that is just it, It doesn't power up automatically at all. It stays off no matter what you do untill you actually end the call! be that pull the battery, other person hangs up, or you use Headset to end call..
What rom are you using?

im using the latest from pdaimatejam. even the older 8.5, once i removed my phone to my ear, screen turns on even the call has not ended..
Would really love a fix for this also.. I must admit though that i don't think it is a hardware issue.. Nevertheless it could be fixed with a regedit or something like that.. Can't really use the phone anymore

Seems that the light sensor is broken, it's the little point in the upper left corner of the phone. The only workaround I see is to use a headset (BT or cable). With this you still can hang up any calls.
