When making phone call, the screen got blank

after a few second..
anyway to make the screen remain turn on during phone call?

There is no fault...
So they abuse that you touch anything unintentionally.
Just press the wake up button to use your phone while calling. (On/ Off Button)

The screen going blank is intentional, I think, to save battery. As the phone is at your ear. Yes, just press the green phone button to wake up. It's defaulted in other HTC phones as well.
Someone has a tweak program for this ???

Ive been searching all over to find a solution to this but to no avail. The closest I get is a thread on Diamond (elder brother to Jade) tweak which is not conclusive on this subject.
However this is what I figured out . . . .
There is a sensor (somewhere near the speaker) that blanks the screen the moment you bring your phone to your ear. If you leave your phone face up after pressing call button, the screen remains on, until it senses something come near the phone face. Try covering it with your hand or anything, the screen goes blank. But when you press the 'ON' switch again, it will remain lit. The sensor only works once after first pressing call button.
If after you complete dialling and press call button, if you press the 'speaker' button immediately, the screen will remain on, even if you cover it (the sensor does not work here) or turn off speaker.
So, I put the phone to 'vibrate mode" to indicate when the call is connected (phone options). If you need to use the dial pad for e.g phone banking, then use 'speaker on'.
Anyone else has other findings ?

Maybe this will help..
With the below you can make all the hard buttons to wake up your phone..
Hope that will help someone.
HKCU\Control Panel\Keybd\
and create REG_DWORD "DefaultKeyLock" Value "0"

Brilliant !!! Thanks for sharing.

Is there any way I can make it wake up with just the top (power) button and the round middle button? I don't want the green or red button to wake up the phone because they are raised and may turn on the phone while in my pocket...
Thanks

Well, mine is inconsistent. Sometimes it will turn off sometimes it won't. But mostly it will only turn off once the call is established even if you don't cover the sensor (presume you don't turn on the speaker phone). Can one confirm this or is it I'm having a faulty sensor???

Well, mine is inconsistent too, I mean there is no definitive pattern. I guess it's sensor sensitivy dependant. I'm not really sure how it is set up. So I rely much on the vibrate mode, on press the ON button again, if still curious about the call status.

I have tried to create the registery key for the any key wake instead of the power key only
"DefaultKeyLock" Value "0"
The problem is after i soft reset the registery key is simply gone (i.e. gone, deleted ....)
any ideas?

Not sure why it happened. But you can always add the reg key "DefaultKeyLock" if it's not there.

Does this sensor really exist on the Jade? I did not find any sensor-function, the display vanishes after a few seconds with and without covering by hand if you do not activate the hands-free-mode.

I tried this - its a great idea and works well.... a little too well because when I pop the phone in my pocket sometimes a key gets accidentally pressed, the phone wakes and anything can happen & did like making an unintentinal call or the voice commander activating. So in my case I had to switch it off.
shame - i liked it apart from that. Could the registry be tweaked to set just one other button thats least likely to get accidentally pressed? I'm thinking the enter button perhaps because its recessed . I can see that others have asked for this as well but nothing available yet ?
thanks

Prevent screen switching off during phone call

Hi,
I have read and tried what I could find, but it does not work on my Jade.
Are there any new ideas how to keep the screen from swithching off?
Joe
This is copied from the Jade Manual:
Call functions
When a call is in progress, tap the available buttons on the Phone screen to put a
call on hold, dial another contact for a phone conference, enter notes about the
conversation, and more.
None of the above is possible because the screen disappears by itself.
Do HTC know about it? This seems to be a major f...up.

This problem has been discussed in many threads, there is no real solution.
If you activate the speaker for hands-free immediately after connecting the screen keeps on.

on mine the screen goes off... but if i press one fo the direction buttons it comes back on and stays on so i can use the keypad or look at contacts etc

Thank you guys.
I will try to contact HTC because I think this is a major fault. There is no access to those Call Functions if the screen disappears.
But people should also have the choice of switching the screen off to conserve battery during long conversations. That should be one of the Call Functions.
I tried to bring the screen back by pressing the OK button, but instead it ended the call. So why do we need the END button ?? Poor HTC. They are in front of themselves. Ever producing new half-baked models without thinking it properly out.
I have not tried the < or > buttons, but it would be risky because usually the OK button gets activated as well.
Has anybody on any HTC forum tried to petition HTC? I think this issue would be a nice one for a petition.
Joe

you say you dont want the screen to switch off but u dont want the < and > active?
tring to understand what you want/dont want here?
if i press < or > the screen comes on fully functional...

I did not say I did not want the < > keys active. I don't care what those keys do because I don't use them. The reason is that when I use them, I always inadvertently activate the Enter button. On my phone that terminates the call - the same as the End key.
It would be nice (and even logical) to have the Enter (OK) button to wake up the screen instead of the directional buttons. Maybe there is a registry tweak to do that.

I think it's about getting used to and familiarising with the intended design and button functions. Now after nearly 12 months using Jade I have no complaints. Even using phone banking, no problem with inputting the required numbers. Concur with MvBoe and DJHicks. It should also be acknowledged that this is 80% PDA and 20%phone (roughly).

I was playing with the < and > keys to try to bring the screen back on, and I can definitelly tell you it does not work on my phone.
While doing that, I accidentally pressed the Power on/off switch - and voilá - the screen came back on and stayed on.
I repeated the experiment to confirm it.
Why didn't I think of it earlier? So obvious.

Good for you Joe. I suppose many other Jade users are already using that method. I thought you knew it already but wanting something more simpler.

Looks like there is no option to select to do sleep on/off.
that's what i actually need.
When phone is off, i can turn it on with reset hole. I don't need to be able to turn off phone. reset is enough.
I only need it to go to and off sleep. Now i am running it always on which is draining battery fast, couple of hours even with brightness lowered to 20%.
plsssss

I did try what brandonledski mention. but looks like it will only turn of screen but not on.

i could make you a shortcut under start menu for the power options as im not sure about being able to map it to another button

How i will turn on screen then ?

settings/system/key lock
and set it so no keys are locked

so now we have a half solution

wait,... i got it!!!
i assigned left button hold for screen off on,... looks like its working!!!!
im testing it now,...
EDIT
Hm,.. i am using Phone Alarm and its adjusted to Shut Down after 15sec. If its shut off automatically with Phone Alarm i cant use AE Button to turn it ON. Hm i guess these are different functions?

AE Button only works when your phone is on, to cold boot your phone you would have to hit the reset button

brandonledski said:

So i guess ill adjust Phone Alarm setting not to shut off display, leave ON, then do it manually every time i need with AE buttons
EDIT:
Hm,... so i adjusted Phone Alarm not to touch power options,.... AE works for ON/OFF Display, but looks like when its off for some time i cant turn it on any more,.... only if i am switching it off/on one after another
EDIT: Actualy problem was Auto Locking app, as soon as phone is locked i cant ON any more,.... ill try to see if i can add exception in this auto locking app ( its CSDevCtrl APP)

Lock all buttons was an option available for older devices, which should still be available via reg edit (as brandolenski mentioned). I'm gonna try that myself.

AE Button kinda works but battery is draining faaaast.
If i can somehow resume phone from `Shutdown` mode which is set by Phone Alarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) that would solve problem. This mode i guess put phone in Stand-By (save battery) not only turn off display as in AE Buttons

Try a hard reset!

I had a similar problem with my phone. The slider would not move left or right so it was impossible to unlock the phone. It was very frustrating.
After a few episodes of this I noticed that when it happened the hard buttons below the screen did not illuminate but if I woke up the phone using any one of these buttons and held the button down until all of the buttons lit up the slider would work. This was more of a work-around rather than a fix.
More recently, since installing the remarkable Co0kies Home Tab, I have not experienced any unlocking problems whatsoever.
Hope this helps.

Talk to your ROM chef (if it´s not stock). Try a soft-reset, if it wont help backup your system and do a hard-reset.

My Rom chef? I don't get what you mean by Chef haha, It is stock rom and what files do I back up with a hard reset?

display won't stay off

I have a s7 att with all latest firmware and updates. When I'm in a call using bluetooth and I press the power button to turn the display off so I can slide it into my pocket. The display goes black then wakes again after about 3 seconds. Tried a factory reset, reboots and general troubleshooting. Even smart stay and proximity sensor. Even changed my case in case something was triggering it...
Any assistance?

The only work around I have found is to hit the home button, or leave the call app in any way, then lock the screen.
This is SUPER annoying!!!
