I cant be the only one with a milestone who is frustrated by this. When I am in a call my ear touches the screen and it keeps pressing the hold button even when the screen is off. If I have the dial pad open I hear beeeeeeep so I have to remember to close the dial pad before putting the phone up to my ear. It seems the phones touch screen is still working when the phone turns off the screen when it detects my head.
Is there a fix for this? I am willing to go as far as removing the hold feature from the phone because I never even use it. This just makes the call quality on this phone even worse because not only am I putting people on hold all the time but the microphone cancels out my own voice all the time so nobody can understand what I am saying! Its a shame that I cant use this phone as a phone...this will definitely be my last motorola phone.

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....
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
how do i stop this? i'd like the phone to automatically lock or something to prevent this from happening. it appears that first, the screen with all of your apps opens, then my cheek or whatever hits a program. any ideas? thanks
Does this happen when you make a call, or when a call comes in?
If you phone is locked and you get an incoming call, after you answer it remains locked except for the calling options (i.e end call, flash, etc.) but I'm not too sure if you dial out though but ive never had this problem...
this happenes to me too. my cheek will hit the screen and either open things or call someone else while on the phone. It is annoying.
This really should not happen, as the device has a proximity sensor that should turn off the screen when the device is held up to your face. If you make a call with the phone held in your hand and you cover up the top of the phone, say the top 2 inches, with your other hand, does the screen blank? It should. If not, the proximity sensor may be bad and a replacement is in order.
This seems to be happening a lot to me. Sometimes when I hold the phone with my shoulder, I'll start face dialing, and when I pull the phone away for a second the screen is off. What's even stranger is that I was in a call just now and did the face dialing, and for whatever reason a "button" was being held (the DTMF tone for a button was going off) while the phone was nowhere near my face, I was looking right at it, and the screen was off!
Anybody else experience anything similar? It's really annoying. I'm not sure if anything is wrong with the prox sensor or what, but I checked it and it is perfectly clean.
same here, happens to me daily.
Hi all,
I'm currently having a regular problem with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. When I make phone calls I seem to put people on hold on near enough every call. I'm assuming it must be my ear touching the button, but my ear doesn't come away from the handset.
Any ideas what might be causing this? Also, is there a way to move or remove the on hold button?
Thanks!

Yer, its how your holding the phone to your ear.
Look at the centre speaker (Where you place it on your ear)
To the left or right is the Light Sensor, When the phone is pressed against your face (i.e. on a phone call)
The Light that is hitting the sensor should be next to none, Meaning the display will turn off when the phone is on your ear.
If the display is not turning off, its possible the phone is not flat on your ear, Like your holding it away with your thumb, so there is just enough light to pass through to keep the display on.
And when the display is on, Your cheek, ear will touch and activate buttons
(Or in my case hang up on them :silly: )

Yes I did think this was the cause but I have been making sure the phone is pushed right against my ear and it still seems to do it. Quite frustrating!
Okay, so try this.
have you two phones, or a number you can just call and let it connect to test.
Call the number, let the phone connect and place your hand over the Ear Speaker. Try and cover the sensor to the Left and Right (I cannot remember what side its on)
Does your screen go off?
Could be a fault in the sensor, As the screen does not detect its next to your ear its allowing key pressed
Unplug phone from charger (When on charge the screen does not turn off)
Make a call, and let the call connect,
place your finger to the left of the speaker (i just tested and have a video to show)
Your screen should go off
