So I've noticed this since day one but never have asked. Is there a setting so my screen doesn't stay on if I miss a call? The screen won't turn off until I clear the missed call.
This was happening to me when I got text messages and missed calls. Go under settings->sound and display->select puzzle lock
This did the trick for me. I get a little puzzle piece when I need to unlock the phone but at least the screen goes off.
Ack. So it's either the stupid puzzle piece thing or the having the screen stay on. There's gotta be another way.
instead of the puzzle, u can use the pattern unlock.

just moved from hermes to blackstone and still found some annoying behaviours, why can't this be a phone, sometimes... this is when i miss my nokia phones.
ok, phone shut, keys locked, phone is in my pocket or in my bag, some calls me, i can't hear or feel it vibrating, screen now is on, missed the call, screen is still on, and on, and on, and on, and on...
nokia symbian phones normal behaviour: keypad locked, got a call, only keys available: answer or reject call, call missed, all keys locked again and screen off. no buts, no howevers.
i am so annoyed with that cause it just happened to my phone to start texting people in my contact list randomly while it's in my bag, after a missed call... there's nothing smart about that. and i dont think i should install a cab to do this job when it's something that should be built in the OS or perhaps the dialer - I'd believe it's the dialer app's job!
Slide to unlock, S2U2 available here at XDA. Really locks the device, looks nice too.
I guess post title says it all..
Whenever I start a phone call, the screen goes off...it is very annoying.
Any way to stop that behavior ?
I have searched this forums with no luck.
I am running Modaco's 2.3 ROM on an unbranded hero.
I have tried using Powermanager tools to define a 2min timeout in the "screen off during call" feature but with no luck.
thanks for the help!

There is an app called shake awake which wakes up the screen during a call when you move it away from your face.

Thanks. i'll give a try but the bad reviews are scaring me.
Is there a setting anywhere for that screen turning off while on call ?
i didn't liked "shake awake" the calls got dropped when the phone "shaked" sometimes i had to call the same person 3 or 4 times because the call ended. first i thought it was my phone but the problems started after installing shake awake. after i removed it my phone worked again
Keepscreen does the trick. Works absolutly great. The full version is able to keep the screen on with every application. Very handy when reading mail, browsing etc. You must set youre screenout delay in settings from the phone to 30sec.

I'd like an app that actually does kill the screen as soon as the call button is pressed. Sometimes the Hero is too slow to turn off the screen and you hang up the call with your cheek.
Thats annoying.
Hi,
I love my new HD2, but i've got the following problem:
The proximity sensor works doesn't work 10% of the time and because the touchscreen is so sensitive, i end up pressing random buttons with my ear or face. I've been manually locking the screen during calls which:
- is really annoying
- doesn't really solve the problem, screen lock during calls does not require slider to unlock, just a regular button and also has a hang up button on it, so it's pretty much back to the original problem.
I know that there's many custom apps out there that can circumvent this issue but i like the stock lock screen (with slider), i don't need another one.
What i need is an app that automatically locks my screen using htc's "slide to unlock" screen after i accept incoming call or after my outgoing call is connected.
If anyone can help me with this i would apreciate it.
why not try s2u2
it has ability to lock after call is connected
do u have something in way of proximity sensor? case or screen protector? i had similar problem but after making bigger hole in screen protector it works 100%
@brkix: i would like a solution that uses the stock lock screen if possible
@lake: i have nothing of the sort, but i confirmed in several forums including this one that the proximity sensor is not 100% reliable
I exactly have the same problem. in my case I want to place a call then want to put the phone in its case while training or running whatsoever and I would really appreciate of being able to lock the keys in order to avoid accidental touching.

SmartLock, offers incall and outcall lock. This may be your best option.
This CAB will lock the hardware buttons when you are in a call if that helps
http://www.cabcache.com/cabs.asp?cab=29
Do you have hair covering your ear?
Without wearing any head wear my sensor works 100% perfect.
Per advice in the second post, I've yesterday installed s2u2. Mates, this program works really good and answers my necessities. All I had to do was to put a short cut of the application to my main screen. Then, I just lock the device by tapping the lock button during a call.
There's even an option existing to lock the phone automatically when the backlight is off and/or during a call directly.

Oh well! Please, tell me how you do it!
I'd pleased if at least I could manually deactivate the screen in order to avoid touching button with my cheek!
I've been trying to find an option to lock screen during a call without succeed.
Thanks,
Cheers!
I have the same problem. This part fails.
Sorry, but I insist... wingm4n: how do you lock the screen during calls?
I still haven't been able to find such option
Cheers,
Up....
Hit start then lock(at bottom left side of screen) after dialing or answering a call.
i have same issue...not with keylocks but with the screen!!!almost every time i make or receive a call with my phone in my pocket or by ear hd2 make itself an other call or push lots of function..and this is very annoying!!!i don't like s2u2...really doesn't any solution exist for solve this problem???
thank you!
Cheers!!
Smartlock
Take a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032
It locks the screen during calls, and has some other settings as well. I've been using it for a while and it seems to work just fine. And best of all, its free.
in s2u2 settings, just set: "lock on talk" and deselect "lock device". in this way...lock screen will work only in a call. that's it
I used to have such problem during my first uses with the HD2, I would realize because all of a sudden I heard keypad tones (and so did the other person ) while hitting the dialer with my cheek.
After that, I started noticing IF the proximity sensor triggered or not.
It's not really "idle", it's just very "picky", you actually need your ear to cover it, and not just your head being in its way... I took te habit of checking the phone display with the back of my eye to see if it's on while I answer a call, and if it is all I need to do is to move it on my ear so I touch the area with the proximity sensor the display turns off again. Works for me practically 100% of the times now.
How to turn this off
I have a HD2 running the energy rom and when a call is connected it locks the screen. But I use google voice and need to be able to enter my pin. Anyone know how to get the screen not to lock during a 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....
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.
