no, at least
not in my device. Others can u pls confirm?
Standard on mine.
But where do you turn this on/ off, that's the question.
May be i didnt express myself clearly. I'd have X1i earlier and if the recepient attends/answers my call, then the phone used to vibrate. I'm trying to find similar thing in Lenged, but so far i didnt succeed .
You did express yourself clearly, it's the answer that's bad. I also don't know how to switch this on. Can somebody explain? It doesn't help when you tell us that it's working on your Legend without telling us where to switch it on.
It's not I am hiding anything... but it works out of the box.
As such, I am not able to tell you how to "turn it on" and I never did so... but I'll spend some time to day to see if there's an option somewhere.
vibrate
@smnrock: i think only selected phones have that. mine's from Taiwan but doesn't vibrate also. and yeah, there's no option to turn it on or off.
Ok, i got what was the issue, perhaps its not a issue and its intelligence(HTC or Android?).
Phone vibrates(ofcourse there is no on-off option or so far i didnt find) only when its not in the ear position(talking position). Also if you keep it in talking position(near by ear) then the back light also switched off(this you might found already) and when we move the phone to different position(away from ear), then back lights also switched on and vibration too when call is answered.
NICE FEATURE isn't?
vibrate on call
hey it's very nice! i just realized it now when i tried it haha HTC is really brilliant. they made that option so that whenever the phone is not in your ears you will know when someone answered already

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
Neil.
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
9900 Screen turns off
the screen of my 9900 turns off as soon as i dial a number, but doesn't come back on unless the call is ended. i cannot turn on the speaker or make a conference call or do any thing with the phone during the call... please help. i have tried wiping the device and also re installed the OS... no luck...

Hi All,
There is bound to be a thread about this somewhere, but I cant find anything:
When you get a incoming call, you screen automatically activates. How do you change that?

then how would he get the call to start with. Does not sound like he wants to turn the phone off, just prevent the screen from coming on at times when a call comes in.
I thought it turns itself off by default whenever ur get a call !?
or maybe he wants to keep it in sleep mode while ringing.. didnt think that would be useful oneday..
try this
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch the value 0 or 1
Another thing
PhoneAlarm offers this option, and a lot of other useful functions....
Well, I want my phone to ring and/or vibrate when a call comes in. But i dont want the screen to activate, becouse I often "pick up" accidently. So, I want the phone to ring, wait for me to push the power butten, and then I can answer the call if I choose to.

yeah yeah .. see above and try PhoneAlarm. Hope it helps
I cannot figure this out. Is there a download or something out there that can keep this from happening.
The prediction features is called Smart Dial, and perhaps it cannot be turned off.
I like to turn off the touch tone sounds, but the vibrate never bothered me. I just tried turning off the more general Haptic Feedback setting, and the phone key-press still made it vibrate.
When I saw your thread I was thinking, "Oh, that's easy, it's...um...well...let me check...ok not there...um...yeah."
Odds of your desired solution (without DEV intervention) -- not good.

man this blows. I cant believe there is now way to get this out of there. Hopefully will come up as the days go by.
When I call my voicemail [using google voice] it wants me to enter my pin.
1. Isn't there a way to program the dialer to pause, then enter the pin automatically?
2. I notice that the phone acts very quirky when on a call. In order to do anything when on a call I have to turn it so that it is in portrait mode, not landscape because it sort of 'sleeps' once I am on a call.
3. Being the phone wants to sleep when I am on a call, I can't seem to find a way to get back to the phone app and hit the RED 'end' button at times ..
Sort of hard to explain but maybe someone can do a better job if you have found the same problem. I love this BIG phone. I wouldn't even object to an extended battery.

Don't know about point 1 but i have just read that when making a phone call it has to be in portrait mode and as you bring it up to your face the proximity sensors will turn off your display to prevent unintentional touches is that what you were on about or have i got it all wrong
I don't understand all the technical stuff but to hold it, it has to be in portrait mode, but even if you have the speaker on and it is on it's back on the table, you can't press the keypad [once the call has begun] unless it is in portrait mode. I would like to turn off 'sleep' while I am on a call .. REALLY annoying.
SUGGESTION: Don't make any prank calls until you know that phone inside and out because sometimes hanging up the phone is close to impossible. Unless it's just me.

AHHHH so its you makeing all the prank calls to me LOL.
It dosen't say anything in the manual on turning off the sleep i will do a google and have a look
sssshhhh ... don't tell .. I have lots more calls to make
But seriously .. I called to check my voice mail and somehow the dialpad went off the screen .. Tried pushing buttons, but there apparently isn't one that will bring it back up .. Mean while I hear the recording saying the same "enter your 4 digit pin over and over." I would if I could find the dial pad again !!! Same if you are leaving a message .. if the screen sleeps, you are fumbling around trying to get it to come back up to click END.
Yes i have had quite some issues with it as a phone, specially when it rings but the screen is still in sleep mode for some reason. So you have to turn it on from sleep then hit the unlock before answering. This is a long process to accept phone calls, also when you answer the phone my ears always seem to hit the screen which triggers the apps menu....
I have had it since launch day and been trying to use it as a primary phone but i don't think thats working out. But as an MID its amazing I love using it, the screen is nice and great using it a a ebook reader.
When I get a phone call my screen comes on, unlocked and ready to answer.
My slight issues are my face is too small to go from the ear piece to the mic LoL
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I too am having the same issues as many on here.
A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G is what it is!
I can;t even hear anything out of the earpiece in the phone, although i can if i turn it on speaker...not a happy bunny as now i have to wait for a replacement!
One question tho, which has been driving me insane...
Does anyone know if there is some kind of 'file-explorer' for accessing the conent on the SD card?
The only way i've found so far to even get close to the files is through 'QuickOffice'... Would've thought they'd be a more 'convenient' approach to it...
Any ideas?
Yesterday I purchased a program called 'screeb.' It is supposed to be able to prevent 'sleep' when you are actually still using it among other things like battery saving things .. I haven't tested it yet but maybe others have ??

There are several free file explorers in the Market .. As for sound.. are you sure you are putting the right end to your ear ?? Seriously .. It would be easy to make that mistake when everything is dark ..

Yeah, definetly got it at the right ear
Will have a look round for a file explorer then, i just thought it would have came with one...silly me! lol!
If I had the phone on speaker and put it to my ear it would deafen me I think. Speaker is VERY loud. Could it be that you have the TTY feature turned on? [ I think that is what it is called, not even sure what it does.] I just can't understand why it won't work as a phone.
I have been trying to use BT only when using it as a phone. I am very afraid my earrings are going to scratch the screen.
I was trying to decide if maybe I should put the sim from my streak back into my iphone and then move the sim from my HTC Shift into the Streak until I got more used to using it. Especially if I am going to use it a lot for voice. I also use my phone for data more than voice.
ALSO .. wondering what an extended battery would be like .. Make it harder to hold? or give you something to hold on to... Right now my hand has to really stretch to grasp the phone ..
ANYWAY ... enough with all this thinking .. I should have been at work 15 minutes ago and I haven't even gotten in the shower.

I love British expressions ... Lately I notice that people in the USA are using them more and more .. The one that annoys me the most .. BECAUSE IT IS NOT OURS TO USE is the expression "gone missing." Everyone who is missing has "gone missing" and until about 1 or 2 years ago it belonged to YOU ... What I am trying to say is I like when YOU use them, but when WE do it sounds WRONG.

@shEEEsh
Your voice mail issue should be fixed by downloading the tmobile visiual voice mail its simple fast free. Also your sleep issues should be fixed with 2.2. I know with my N1 when I move the down it turns on.
@ Andyglosta
Try oi file manager on market. It'll do what you want.
There's also astro, but personally I think it looks crap..

I have everything with Tmobile but it won't let me install tmobile visual voice. Actually it says it is installed, but I can't activate it.
Just got off the phone with Tmobile and they turned on Visual Voice for me. Good. Next on the agenda is when a call ends getting back the dial pad so I can hang up ...

1. You can long press * on dialpad, it will show "p", then enter pin.
It can also be used in the contacts (just type p).
2. no idea...
3. Tried power on key ?
Maybe I throw my hands in the air to fast, but I shut off google voice and went back to tmobile 'visual voicemail.' It is sort of the same but I will miss google's voice to text translation via email SOOOOO MUCH ... It is probably the most entertaining application that I have ever had. I like to forward them to the person who left the voicemail and say "what?????"
It seems funny. But I can't use google voice here ;-(
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.

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..

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.
