Sometimes I need to get to the keyboard but the screen goes dark during calls sometimes. I dont know why it does that or what i am doing to cause this. It doesnt happen every time. Anyone know or can help?

The proximity sensor is supposed to blank the screen during a call. Try making a call with your phone on the table. Put your finger along the top of the front of the phone (where the speaker grill-area is located). Your screen should blank. When you take your finger away, it should wake up. If it doesn't wake up, try pressing the Talk/Send hardware button to wake up the 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
When I'm on handsfree during a call and trying to access the phones menus or programs, the screen first lights up after pressing pwr button, stays on for about 0,5sec, then goes black, then flickers on again, then off, then on again, and then off!
Sometimes I manage to get it to stay on by pressing on the screen repeatedly during the first 0,5sec. But usually I go through that whole procedure and have to repeat it until I manage to access the phone.
Anyone experienced the same thing? Only happens during call.

Same thing here, I use a BT headset. It is quite annoying.. I think it is trying to shut down the screen, because of battery saving. But I want to use the phone while speaking
Could have to do with the proximity sensor maybe?
Yeah it is to do with the proximity sensor. To solve this issue I try not to hover my finger over the top of the phone where the speakers are located (I think this is where the proximity sensor is placed).

yes, it is placed to the right of the speaker.
if u look at the phone in bright sunlight you can see the sensor
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, I just got my Galaxy s8 about 3 weeks ago. I've had very little in the way of problems with it. Well, except one thing... Everytime I make a call on it the screen will wake up at random. It doesn't matter if it's a call from the installed phone app or hangouts. I thought this might have something to do with the apps edge so I disabled that. Didn't fix it. I thought it might be the home button so I put it on the lowest sensitivity. Didn't fix it. I frequently call while laying in bed (who wants to hold a phone up all the time?) so the phone is between my head and a pillow. When the screen wakes up it clicks and than shuts off after five seconds because I turned on the keep off when in pocket or whatever it's called in settings. Before I turned that on the screen would stay on and buttons would get pressed usually ending up with me ending a call. I still think it's the home button but I'm not sure how to fix it. It anyone has any ideas or has the same issue please let me know.

Its the proximity sensor.

Proximity sensor is working though.. I have no way to test it properly but if I place my hand near it the screen goes black and when I move it it lights up again. It also doesn't make the click
Had this bug on every device
So it's just a bug? No fix currently? I'm just wondering because I haven't seen anyone talking about this specific issue before ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm also suffering from this issue
