Lock screen when on Call?

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....

[Q] Touchscreen works only until screen is turned off for first time

Hello all,
I have a problem with my HD2's touchscreen. I've had the phone for awhile now and never had any problems. I've been using android from Sd for awhie and recently switched to NAND android.
I go to bed with a working phone and when I wake up, the touchscreen doesn't work. After trying to use it all day, it occasionly works. When I receive a call or text, the screen works just fine. I am abe to use it until the screen turns off then no more. This happens for each call or text. It also works just fine at first boot(until the screen is turned off.
Thinking that this was a software problem, I tried flashing different android builds, with the EXACT same results. I then wondered if it was a problem with MAGLDER, so I flashed back to a STOCK TMOUS rom, and stock SP, radio etc.
Even after going back to COMPLETELY stock, it now does the same thing in WINMO. Works just find at first boot until screen goes off, and works when I get calls and texts.
I'm now thinking that this is a hardware/digitizer problem, it just seems weird to me that it works 100% until the screen goes off and then not at all.
Anybody have any idea's or insights?
Thanks!

i've read a few similar threads (please search for them!) that indicate one possible cause...
your buttons strips at the bottom may be messing with the touch screen connections. i remember reading in one thread that the dude found a strong relationship between use of the on/off/endcall button and touchscreen failures.
you say it works...:
1. ...until the screen powers off
2. also works when you get an sms or call
in case (1), you have to press the endcall button to "wake" the device...so maybe the button puts just enough pressure to screw up the screen.
in case (2), the device wakes up automatically, so you never pressed the button that might cause the screen to screw up.
try to narrow it down like i've described. maybe your buttons are causing the problem. good luck!

Thanks for replying!
I did see the thread you were talking about though it did not seem to match my problems. However, today as I was working and pulling my phone out, It has started to look like that is the case. As of this afternoon, as long as I press any of the buttons other then the power/end call button to turn on the screen, the tuchscreen works just fine. When waking up the screen with the power/end call button, it does not work at all.
Yesterday and this morning, it didn't matter what button I pushed to wake up the screen, it was totally unresponsive.
So it looks like using the power/end cal button presses on my digitizer and causes problems.

And it's back to not working at all when I use any of the buttons, lol. Guess it's time to start looking into a new digitizer.

[SOLVED] cannot hang up during call

I noticed this problem:
when i start a call, my screen become black and i cannot hang-up the call.
anyone with same problem?
another little question:
i have a time-limited data plan (40H /month) is there a way to know if my HD2/WP7 phone is connected or not? or a way to control my data connection?
thank you!

I have the same issue. If I hold the proximity sensor directly to a bright light source the screen comes back on but I'm not always near a bright light source. I've been making calls on my bluetooth headset because that has a hardware hang-up button. If someone could work out how to hook up the hd2 hang-up button this would be a massive help...

EDIT: i make some test, plese discard this post (test result in post #5)

I'm not sure about yours, but after I finish my call I just remove my phone from my ear then the screen show up . Regardless where I am (dim or bright place) the screen responds to the movement of the phone away from my ear .

ok, i make some other test.
confirmed, we have some problem with proximity sensors.
when i make a call, the screen become black. immediately, witoutn anything else.
wen i remove the phone from my ear the screen will NOT come up UNLESS the other part hang up.
for example: if the other part use an answering machine, i am able to record my message, but the screen DOES NOT comes up when i remove it from my ear.
if the other part is a friend, and HE hang up the call, my screens lights up, again, sayng "call ended". then return to the home screen.
if i'm in-call, and i expose the phone to a bright light, the screen comes back too, sowhing all in-call options (speaker activation keypad, and some other things)

Just press the normal hang up button and that should act as the power button to bring the screen back on...

during call this button doesn't do nothing.... already try with all button..
i just play with registry entries, some are interesting.
HKLM\Drivers\Builtin\Proximity
ScreenOffDebounceTime DWORD:50 (Decimal value)
ScreenOffThreshold DWORD:256 (Decimal value)
But i cannot figure how they affect screen (i try to change their value with no effect)

update:
seems i fix it!!!
after an UPGRADE (hehehe) to winMo 6.5, i realize that problem still exist.
then i remove a portion of the screen protextor and proximity sensors works again!
even if i use original HTC screen protector... :\

I've tried that already but it didn't work for me. I did have my screen replaced so I wonder if the problem started then...

Same to me... Is this a replaced screen issue?

Strange one this...the red button (bottom right of the 5 physical buttons) just brings the screen to life for me and should work I would have thought regardless if screen is replaced.

hey guys i am facing a problem too with my tmous hd2...i have dual booted it..when i make a call in android or win7 proximity sensor doesnt turn off the screen at all.....so i end calls without my knowledge and intent.....anyone facing similar issues??? anybody knows any solution???

[Q] hd2 hardware button light stuck on

so I just noticed the lights for my hardware buttons are stuck on, happens from the moment the phone turns on, and nothing changes it (though they seem to dim slightly) I've tried reflashing the phone (using mdj cyanogen 2.7, nand with magldr 1.12)
I tried searching and havent seen anything like this. Only thing I can think is maybe it got a little wet(?) while I was recording video during a snow storm here, but nothing else seemed wrong, just got home and noticed it. Any ideas?

I have the exact same problem. I've flashed back to the original windows mobile rom and the problem is still there! I've searched and yet to find the solution. Anyone got any ideas?

Check to see if you have a voicemail - you may have read it but closed VM before listening to all the message, it can on occasions do this - it I'm right just ring your phone leave a fresh VM then go into VM and listen to the whole message

Thanks for the reply, but no dice on this one. I tried the voicemail thing and I have no voicemails.
To clarify it's the bottom 5 buttons (call, home, windows, back and power) that are constantly lit up. Even when the phone goes on standby those buttons stay lit. I'm looking to see if there's an app that can just shut them off.

I got the same problem. My hd2 got some water on it and the problem started. The hardware keys now getting dim but not getting completely off. There is no other problem
Please help.

same problem on my father htc click

Thanks, I will try the rom.
But do u really think its a rom problem ? The keys light were working fine before the water hazard in the same existing rom. Besides the problem is also there when u are in the boot menu of MAGLDR or Clockwork menu.

any updates from anyone? On miy HD2 the vol up, start, back & end call key don't respond to any presses but seem to be active. Calls will randomly end, vol up acts as if the button is kept pressed!
Help!

Hi guys,
A little bump in this thread, but is there already found a solution for this problem?
After a hard reset and replacing the digitizer of my htc HD2, the buttonlights remain on. Even when the phone gets in standby mode.
I'm using cyanogenmod 7. (bought it like this. Didn't put android on it myself)
After the hard reset and digitizer replacement there also came another problem.
When pushing the windows logo (key 158) the volume up button also reacts (key 115). Thesame problem occurs when pushing the dial button. With that key (231), key 114 (volume down) reacts.
So when i want to open a menu or make a call the volume goes up or down.
Do you guys think I screwed something up when replacing my digitizer or is it just an software issue caused by the hard reset?

All right guys, it was an hardware failure.
I reopened my htc and checked all the connectors and (re)placed some of the yellow tape. After the reassembly, my phone just works as it should. All problems are solved.

My HTC HD2 also got the keys stuck after only a week of use. T-Mobile is sending me a replacement phone today.
Is this a common problem? I'm afraid it may happen again.

Hey guys I'm having same issue. Going to try opening up and check connectors.

Touchscreen not working to unlock the phone

Hi guys I have a Tmobile HD2 and I have been facing a weird issue. When I use the touch installer aroma in recovery the touchscreen works perfect but when in android on winmo if I lock the phone by pressing the end call key and then after waking up the phone using the same key the touch doesnt respond same thing happens in android none of the hardware keys allow me to unlok the phone. However when the screen locks automatically after timeout and if i use any other hardware key apart from the end call button the screen works fine.

Unfortunately, your digitizer is dying indeed, it's a matter of time until it'll die for good.

Good solution...for now!

Is this problem really relatet to the digitizer itself?
What connection is between the buttons and the digitzer?
I have nearly the same issue, and its enough to just touch and wiggle the end button very soft to make the touchscreen stop.
=> Is it just a bad cable? or the button underneath with two circuits maby? One for light and one to activate/deactivate digitizer???
I would like to have some info to maby fix it instead of just replacing the digitzer (again).
If its the flat ribbon cable, it could be replaced alone or repaired. If there is some contact between button/cable and touchscreen it could be isolated and so on.
I repaired my hd2 a few times, but need info about this particular problem to know what im looking for.
So if anyone had this issue and could locate the problems source i woulde be thankful for some informations ;D
Maby there will be some fix guide for common problems around this problem if we put together some hints.
