Hi guys,
how do you turn off the screen, when you are having a conversation via the headset?
Now I have to walk with the phone in hand instead of putting it back in my pocket. Also if the phone is in my pocket and I receive a call, then when the call is finished the phone doesnt lock resulting in calling random people.
Thanks.
I have the same issues.
Anyone with a good solution?
there are some utilities going round that enable you to shut the screen by the touch of a button... can't remember any of the names though.. sorry
I find when talking on my bluetooth headset, when I place my phone close to my pocket the screen turns off automatically, hence being off when in my pocket. Take the phone out, the screen turns back on.
Using shipped ROM.
Try it.... when talking on your bluetooth, place your hand over the phone (top of the phone has the sensors) and see if the screen turns off.

Hi guys. First post so I'll try to be brief and explain as best as I can. Here's the scenario.
Phone is in shirt pocket screen is off, phone is locked and bluetooth headset is connected. The phone rings, I answer with the headset and complete the call ok. Now, when the other person hangs up, my phone screen stays active in my pocket and ends up getting all sorts of menus activated.
Is theres a way to turn the screen off immediately upon call completion?
Yep. Me too. Ony complaint I have with the phone. Have to take the phone out of my pocket and hit the end key to turn off the screen. Never had this problem with all other HTC touch devices that I have had with countless custom ROMs. Anyone help.......Please.
Try PocketShield. It will replace your WM lock screen and will offer some more possibilities (auto lock after call ends for example)
Thank you very much
Nice to meet all the bro & sisters here.
Sorry if this question been repeated, I searched but not find anything related to this.
I am TYTN II user switched to HD2 just 2 days ago.
I have noticed one button with end call button + switch off/standby.
Whenever I am on the call wanted to turn off the screen the phone went off after pressed the standby button, sometimes the screen automatically turn off but when the phone is shaking the screen turn back on in my pocket.
Tried locking the screen but no outcome.
Hope someone can help me out with solutions.
thanks & merry christmas to everyone.

Hd2 has a proximity sensor which will automatically turn off / dim the screen when you are in a call.
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, but during walk the screen will keep turn off and on that will consume the battery life.

Also to the point, if the screen goes off during a call, how do I get it back on again (i.e. pressing the normal screen-on key ends the call)

It only does this when you are in a call. At other times, when you lock the phone, the screen stays off till you press the end-call button again.

You put the phone to your ear, and the screen goes off instantly.
You move it away from your ear and the screen comes back on instantly.
If it's not working like that then there's an issue somewhere, as that's what it's supposed to do, and it works perfectly for me and many others.
Do you guys with the problem have screen protectors on? I do, but mine doesn't interfere with the proximity sensor. I know that some can though, as reported by other users in this forum.
Sorry bros
My meaning is if using hand free kit & the phone kept in pant pocket, while moving on the road the phone sensor makes the screen goes on & off repeatly
didn't any one notice this point? Until I take out and hold it then stop blinking.
Hope it is clear now.
The sensor is just for phone when it is near the ear & away from the ear or on the table upside down.
Please help me thank you
I use a hands free set a lot, and just put the phone in the sleeve while in a conversation.
The proximity sensor then keeps the screen turned off.
Hi ofuroinu, there are lots of solutions :
You can install S2U2.
In power settings it has an option "Blank Screen on Talk" which automatically shuts off the screen when the call begins.
Or you can also install AEButtonPlus and associate the long press of send button (or another one ... yet it is not working for all the buttons) with the Switch on / switch off Screen command (number 32 in the list) to do it manually at will with a long key press.
I suppose you can also have a look at mortscript to find a script that toggle the screen, then associate the script to a shortcut that you can put in the home tab shortcuts.
Cheers,
Nibbler.

Silly question, but if the phone is in your pocket, how on Earth do you know that the screen is turning on and off?
THANK YOU TO ALL THE GOOD FRIENDS WHO HAVE REPLIED ME.
Maybe it is silly question to Jim Coleman, I am sorry.

ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU TO EVERYONE & MERRY CHRISTMAS & FRUITFUL NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.
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....
No, I'm not talking about putting the phone to the face.
A lot of times, I use my phone with a bluetooth and when I do, I want to put the phone into my pocket and continue talking but I rather turn the screen off before putting it in my pocket (in case I hit the end button). I tried pressing the power button but that disconnects the call which I think they should've just left it as turning the screen off rather than disconnecting.
Do you guys know any other way or apps to change that?
Yeah even i have the same problem. Like if im on loudspeaker, i would prefer it if the screen was locked or off.
lots of these small problems with the x10, 2.1 needs to come out QUICK.. and root of course.
I got a question. When you're talking on the phone, does your screen goes off in 10 seconds, then 2 seconds later, the screen turns back on, then turns off in 10 seconds, and keeps going..
Cuz while I was talking on the phone using bluetooth, I just happen to noticed this and even using my finger to hide the proximity sensor, it does the same thing.
[EDIT] When I'm on a call and then hit the home button to get to the main screen (still on call), then it turns off like normal and it won't turn itself on. But for some reason, in the "Call Window" it just repeatedly goes off and on.. Hmmm
Problem 2: When I'm on a call, and have my phone in my pocket, when someone phones me, my leg would help me 'accept' the call. I did a test. When I'm on a call and block the proximity sensor, the screen locks up (which is fine) but when someone phones in (call waiting), the screen is accessible again even though the proximity server is still covered. This makes it so that it would still accidently accept the call when someone phones in while still in pocket.
Can anyone try it and see if it does it on your phone?
Yes mine does that. It sucks because frequently, I will hit the hang up button with my cheek. Annoying.
I hope they fix this asap...
its very annoying, mine does the same thing
