Anyone know how to stop an accidental clicks or other screen presses from taking place when I've got the phone to my face during a call?
Si.
I use a freeware app called Screen Off, download it here:

Basically when I make a call or answer a call I have screen off assigned to a button, so I can then press the button to turn the screen off. To turn the screen back, just press the power on button.\
Hope this helps,
Or maybe you could simply turn PDA off with a single power button press...and when you're finished simply turn it on. Remember that the radio is always running (unless you hold the power button for 5s).
My screen turns off automatically after about 20 seconds when on a call - haven't set it to do this - in fact can't even find an option - it just seems to be the default setting. The only way to turn it back on is to press the green or red buttons, or just flick the volume control either way - works for me. (O2 XDA Mini s)

Macrinus - thx that works a treat.
That's weird, your screen turning off after 20 seconds, mine turns off as configured in "Turn backlight after..." and "Turn off device...".

Yeah, it is weird - bit annoying, but sensible really to save the power - Perhaps its just the device turning off then, with the phone still running .... comes back to life with a flick of the volume though - touching the screen won't re-activate it. Will have to time it a bit more closely !

Radio on screen off
I too turn the device off when I'm on a call (although I only discovered I could without ending the call this morning). Otherwise, my ear activates the Start menu.
Doh!
if only the backlight is turned off, the screen WILL still react to face contact!
I understand that either the device (less the phone side!) via power button, or the screen must be turned off via an utility.
It may exist, but I know no proggie able to lock the touchscreen without turning it off!
(pitty, my axim X50v can lock the screen without turning it off via a Hw sliding button9
I just got the official case for the Arc and whilst its very nice it has a couple of flaws:
1: If you're playing music and you slide the phone into the case, the case is so snug that it turns the volume down. The only way to turn it back up is to slide the phone out and turn it up but then you can't slide it back in!
2: Had the phone in the case for a few hours and when I removed it I noticed the phone was very warm and had lost a lot of battery. Looked at the battery usage and it said the screen had been on the whole time the phone was in the case.
Now I suspect that the case is pushing the buttons thus turning on the screen. Theres two ways of remedying this, 1: stop using the case or 2: turn the buttons off when the phone is locked only allowing the power button to turn on to unlock.
Is there anyway of doing this??
widgetlocker will do that, but how did you get to see how much time the display was on? when i go into battery usage i only see how much percentage of power each item has used
Hi!
Is it possible to configure the Transformer to automatically turn the Display on when the Battery is loaded and switch it off if not?
Maybe an app can do that?
For Background:
I'm planing to install the tab in my car and switching the power adapter with the ignition. Would be cool if the screen turns on when I start the car and turns off when it's shut down.
found something:

Tasker can do this, and much more..

I was just wondering if the screen on the LG G2 is supposed to remain on if you plug it in for charging?
I'm running stock UI and after plugging it in, when I wait for the screen to time out it goes to a live wallpaper and other themes I've tried seems to do this as well. I can't find any way to have it time-out normally to an off LCD screen. I'm just afraid that with the screen on that it will affect the charge time.
It seems that I can only get the screen to turn off by pressing the power button. If I try to knock off, it just throws the phone back to my lock screen.
Is this normal? If so, is there anyway to set it so the screen turns off automatically while charging?

hi all
like many others iv put my nexus 7 into the dash of my car. i was wondering if there is an app or way for my nexus to turn itself off when i turn the car off. iv figured out how to make the device turn on when power is restored to the device but still not sure how to turn the device off.
also would anyone know why when the nexus turns on, it immediately mutes itself? it is connected via 3.5mm jack 100% of the time and tasker opens up power amp but other then that i don't know what might be causing it. any help is appreciated on both issues
cheers

If you have tasker installed, create a state which is dependant on battery power - as an exit task tell the tablet to wait for 10 seconds, then call the misc->reboot action with type shutdown to turn the tablet off. The wait 10 seconds it to prevent it powering off when you are cranking the car...
If you just want to turn the screen off, not power the whole tablet down, there's a tasker action Display->System Lock which will turn the screen off..
You could also use tasker to change the system volume for you if you needed as a workaround...
*edit* - BTW - the tasker reboot options don't gracefully reboot / shutdown, so if you have apps running, there's a chance that you may lose data. To do a 'graceful' reboot / shutdown, you are better off using the secure setting plugin...
