Screen On/Off when Hangup/Answering??

HI, I'd love such a function. the screen automatically turn off while answering a call and turn on while hang up the phone.
but i tried both adavanced config 3.3 and HDTWEAK. they both dont work.
is there any other way to make this happen??? most of guys love this fucntions. IPHONE has this func. lol
thank you guys!

I think this happens normaly on HD. The opposite we are looking for and I know tha up to now nobody has succeded yet

it's a pity. hopw somebody could make it happens. lol

I did notice that the behavior is not always consistant.
What happens is sometimes after i make the call, it turns the screen of a second after I click the call button, while sometimes, it takes as long as it is needed to get a "connected" state for the call and having actualy the phone up next to my head!!

Mogul stuck on black screen

Hi my mogul has been randomly dieing on me lately, i would turn it on and call someone talk and hang up, then 2 minutes later i would try to turn it back on through the power button because it hibernates or something and it just wont let me, i would have to take out the battery and put it back in, i cant even press the reset button or anything. i dont understand! thank you in advance for any replys!
oh yea, i know the phone is on because i see the lights flashing, but when i try to call it rings but thats it, it doesnt even show up as a missing call when i take out the battery and put it back in.

Try to reflash your rom. Or maybe a replacement is necessary

Idk if this is the same as what happened to you but something like that happened to my phone. The buttons would light up and the screen would just turn a light black but wouldn't show anything. If it is, I sent it to HTC and they fixed it for me for free; when I got it back it slid easier too, it had gotten a little harder to slide after I dropped it once.

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....

WP7 End Call Issue

Hi Guys,
I have been having issues when trying to end a call with the new WP7 Rom. I also used to have this when using Andriod Roms.
When I go to end a call, pressing the end call button does nothing apart from light up the keypad. I've tried pressing every button but nothing but the keypad lighting up happens, the call never ends! I have to remove my battery and switch the phone back on to get the use of my phone back.
I have :
HardSPL 2.08
MAGDLR111
Radio 2.15.50.14
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

Did you not try the end call on the screen? Not the hard one on the bottom right of phone

The screen turns off when making a call so the touch buttons are not available. This is why I have to remove the battery as I have no other way of bringing the display back to life. Obviously if I make a call and the other person hangs up it's fine. However if they do not answer and it goes to voicemail or I call my voicemail I get stuck in a never ending loop of press 2 to hear your messages.

Official windows phones have no hard end call button, just the on screen one, therefor I dont think its possible to end a call with the hardware button. Yes, the screen goes off when making a call, but due to the proximity censor it should come back when you move it away from your head. If it does not, make sure its not covered, even a screen protector can block the proximity sensor. Its located next to the speaker.

Hmm I removed the screen protector and still no joy when I move the phone away from my face. The screen just remains black. I did crack the screen about 5 months ago and had it replaced, perhaps they've done a poor job on this....

Don't think so... My is in perfect shape. proximity works on android but not on wp7... i also can't press end call button.

same thing with me
well i get the same problem with mine also, is there anything we can do for that.

I have the same issue, though it only happens to me when calling my voicemail. I hit "end call" and it just hangs there with the message "Ending call..." and I have to pull the battery :/ Regular phone calls have been just fine though.

Finally cracked this one!
I have been experiencing this issue on my Optimus 7 phone since day one, on all firmware versions and I now have the latest update.
This is what worked for me:
-set the automatic brightness to off and choose any manual setting that suits your needs, I chose medium.
-set the screen timeout to never (not sure that this is necessary, I will change it back to 30 sec to see if the issue returns and post back)
I hope this works with your phones, it was really frustrating to pull the batery out. Good luck!

I've had this issue as well. Pressing the end call button on the screen won't end many of my calls, voicemail or to another person. But it's rare enough that it hasn't bothered me, too much. But is a problem that needs to be figured out, if possible.

We should come up witha way to re map the hard buttons to usefull use

I'm assuming your phone is an HD2. First of all, the call should automatically end when the other party hangs up. Secondly, just hit the Power button to turn the screen back on and then unlock the phone and hang up. What is so difficult? WP7 remaps the HD2 buttons so they don't work as they did in WM.

[Q] Is there a way to prevent the screen from turning off during calls?

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.

If you read my original post, I mentioned that I tried this on Android as well, and I get the same problem.

Are you talking about the settings in the "Attentive Phone" section? Didn't work for me.

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..
What rom are you using?

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.
