has anybody ever experienced this before?
while talking to the phone, your ear is pressed against the screen hence accidentally touching the screen with your ear and doing unwanted tasks
i have tried lowering light timer and;
pressing the on/off button once to turn off the screen
i find this a big problem for me, its an inconvinience, anybody has got any solutions for this?
thanks
use xperia tweak (use search function)
There is an option to urn screen off during calls
im using xperia tweak 2.0
all i see is
"disable screen turning off during calls" wouldnt this be the opposite of what u want?
I keep my screen on during calls and my cheek does not press any buttons, even when touching. Maybe your cheek bone or ear is too pointy?
lol actually its the clock button at the windows bar is being pressed on and it changed itself to analog/digital
Eh?
Standard behaviour is to switch the screen off during a call. So unless you changed it, why is your screen on? I wish this worked like y iphone and siwtched as you put it to your head, then screen goes back on when you pull it away during a call.
Same for me, my screen has never gone off while calling. Same by enabling and disabling the feature in Xperia Tweak.
I read somwhere that R2 changed that behaviour in opposition to R1..

agreed, even the nokia 5800 comes with the proximity sensor feature...
Just made a hard reset because of lots of beta software testing, I reinstalled only my very needed software, and the screen turns off like expected during the calls. I am in R2.
press the power to off the screen during calls.. best and free

but thats all i have bene doing now...i was hoping for an app to fix this
Hi,
I had a problem with my Jade where the LCD screen blackout while making a call out, and i need to turn the screen on again pressing the power button.
Can anyone advise me?
Thank you in advance for your advise.

No problem, is a normal function
Yup, that's normal behavior. There is a sensor which senses when you have the phone touching your face. It then turns the screen off. You wouldn't want it to activate all kinds of options while rubbing your face.
Thanks a lot! but Garmin problem now..
Hi ralfbonne, Arunia,
Thanks alot for your advise.
I have another problem which is the Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.10W.
Is a cracked version, after i installed S2U2 v1.60, the below error message pops up while half way using the Garmin GPS:
"Read access violation at data address 0xF9C3D650. Program address 0x0016FAF4 in background thread NULL (GfxFieldWindowProc)".
Is this caused by the settings for S2U2?
Besides, sometimes it took too long time to get the satellites signals, can be up to 20mins long!
Could you please kindly advise me too?
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day.
Vincent
How to keep screen on in call (no blackout): solution
All registry hacks & Advanced Config tricks for keeping the screen on while a call is in progress do not apply to the Jade/3G.
However, there is a solution to overcome this annoying feature:
install Touch InCall Screen Tweak, and set the options "Ignore first screen off" and "Always On" in the options.
Why keep the screen on during call? Your face will just start activating things at random. If you really need it on (maybe using earpiece) you can always press the power button.
It's annoying
I have never accidently pressed anything on the screen while calling.
However, having to press the power button to bring the screen back while calling voicemail has annoyed me many times.
I also believe it is annoying that the screen blacks out. Even when I have the phone facing down and not to my ear, the screen blacks
I need to get it on, so I could use speakerphone. I'm one of those that love using speakerphone, so yea
I will try the InCall cab file.
After i hang up on a call (when the phone is in sleep mode and the screen is locked) the screen unlocks. this is quite contrary to what is mentioned in the phone manual chapter 1 page 45. this becomes an issue since i use a bluetooth headset and the phone remains in its sleeve/case and after every call, a whole bunch of applications will launch since the case is in contact with the screen. have i overlooked some settings or are there other owners who have faced this issue?
ideas and suggestions welcomed
did you check it out if any of the hardware buttons being pressed against the case hence wakening up the phone.?
i had it to only closed al my apps in taskm and it stoped flickering
My HD2 is also behaving in the same way even in controlled test conditions - the phone unlocks when a call comes in (I'm presented with slide to accept or reject call) The phone unlocks during the call, but fails to lock again on disconnect (either by pressing "end call" or hang up via bluetooth).
Can anyone verify this? Is it interacting with something I installed?
I believe I found a (complicated) workaround.
What I want: leave HD2 inside pocket, answer calls with bluetooth headset, hang up and phone will go back to lock.
Problem: After I hang up using bluetooth or press the big red "End Call" button or the other party hangs up, the phone stays unlocked! It stays powered on and all kinds of buttons gets clicked.
Practically all lock sw uses their own lock screen (which I don't want to install). CSDevCtrl does not trigger by phone. TouchLockPro uses its own transparent lock screen but can respond to phone events. Using the !SUSPEND for TAPI\Ended under settings does not seem to work when the screen dims about 50 secs into the call.
Solution: Use TouchLockPro together with LockAndOff. Get TAPI\Ended to run LockAndOff will turn phone off, whether by bluetooth, big red "End Call" button, or the other party hangs up.
BTW: I think there is some confusion on whether the phone locks when you
1. press the big red "End Call" button, or
2. the hard "End call" button
in the forums.
I noticed that HD2 have a light sensor next to the top ear speaker.
During a call, if the phone is put near the ear and cover the light sensor , the screen become non-active which is good.
If anyone can come up with a lock sceen using this light sensor , then the problem with random launch of program when phone inside pocket will be solved.
This lock screen should only activated right after an end of call, beacuse , sometime you may want to use the phone in a dark place.

It's the proximity sensor that turns the screen on and off during a call, not the light sensor. How else would it work in the dark? (which it does)

My proximity sensor does not work, when I am getting a call my screen turn off and when I am taking the phone out from my face it turn on only when I am out side at the sun!! the screen stay off when I am inside room. I tested it with flsh light and it is working also.
I have a T-Mobile US version of the HD2. I am having the same problem when using the bluetooth system in my car. After answering or making a call the phone stay unlocked. And then starts making random calls while I am driving!!!!
There has got to be an easy fix for this!!!
Buy pocketshield, problem solved.
i have this unlock problem with 1.48 rom and i solve it by pressing start button and lock. after that everything works fine unless i change theme in settings. then just repeat first step.
Solved
Same trouble with me until I use the following software. I tried it and it's almost perfect. unzip it and just copy to your HD2, run CallerLoc.exe and click Yes, you'll find:when you hang up, or he/she hang up a call, or a call is established, the screen will turn off.
Why say 'almost perfect', the software is in chinese, but the filename is in english. and it's a call location software but with the function we need.
To stop or before you delete the software, run Callerloc.exe and click Yes again.
Hope this will help you. Sorry I don't find a English version of this software. I esure and I'm using this software perfectlly with my Leo.

Same for me
Greetings.
I understand this is quite an old thread I'm digging up but I need a little help as well and I didn't want to start a new topic just for that.
I've this silly problem, appeared right out of the blue:
You all know the standard manila behavior, when the phone is idle, the screen first dims and after some more time, depending on your preferences, the screen locks. It also locks if you press the power off button. This all was happening to me till this morning.
I added an event in the calendar (the only change I made today) and after that, my phone dims and then goes in sleep mode after the designated period of time, but DOESN'T lock!!! It doesn't even lock when I press the power off button. I can still lock it by pressing Start and then lock or by press and hold the power button and choose the lock phone option. So one would say that it's still operational, so why bother about it, but I kinda liked the standard function and I have to freaking idea why it changed!!!
I'd be most appreciative if you could offer some help with that.
Oh, I forgot to mention. Soft reset didn't solve the problem. Erasing the calendar event didn't either.
My phone runs the factory ROM (1.66.482.1 ELL), I haven't changed anything other than user settings (yeah, I'm a noob... )
Thanks in advance!

Pocketshield could be the end of your problems. You can try it for 10 days and see how it goes...
But why do I need to buy third party software in order to revert my phone to it's original operation?
No, this is not the answer I am looking for. I was wondering if you know of any kind of settings that might have changed by accident and caused this undesired behavior.
Thanks.
The best to return to normal operation would be a hard reset. Or you can spend a while trying.
You can try
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Enable=1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Active=1
Thank you very much. I opted for the hard reset option... I hope it stays ok this time!
My HD2 also had some strange unlocking and unwanted calling.
I noticed it appeared when using the android style lockscreen.
When I changed back to the original one, problem solved
i had this too. the andriod lockscreen seems to be a bit buggy last time i used it, i accidentially called 7 random numbers
I noticed this problem:
when i start a call, my screen become black and i cannot hang-up the call.
anyone with same problem?
another little question:
i have a time-limited data plan (40H /month) is there a way to know if my HD2/WP7 phone is connected or not? or a way to control my data connection?
thank you!
I have the same issue. If I hold the proximity sensor directly to a bright light source the screen comes back on but I'm not always near a bright light source. I've been making calls on my bluetooth headset because that has a hardware hang-up button. If someone could work out how to hook up the hd2 hang-up button this would be a massive help...
EDIT: i make some test, plese discard this post (test result in post #5)
I'm not sure about yours, but after I finish my call I just remove my phone from my ear then the screen show up . Regardless where I am (dim or bright place) the screen responds to the movement of the phone away from my ear .
ok, i make some other test.
confirmed, we have some problem with proximity sensors.
when i make a call, the screen become black. immediately, witoutn anything else.
wen i remove the phone from my ear the screen will NOT come up UNLESS the other part hang up.
for example: if the other part use an answering machine, i am able to record my message, but the screen DOES NOT comes up when i remove it from my ear.
if the other part is a friend, and HE hang up the call, my screens lights up, again, sayng "call ended". then return to the home screen.
if i'm in-call, and i expose the phone to a bright light, the screen comes back too, sowhing all in-call options (speaker activation keypad, and some other things)
Just press the normal hang up button and that should act as the power button to bring the screen back on...

during call this button doesn't do nothing.... already try with all button..
i just play with registry entries, some are interesting.
HKLM\Drivers\Builtin\Proximity
ScreenOffDebounceTime DWORD:50 (Decimal value)
ScreenOffThreshold DWORD:256 (Decimal value)
But i cannot figure how they affect screen (i try to change their value with no effect)
update:
seems i fix it!!!
after an UPGRADE (hehehe) to winMo 6.5, i realize that problem still exist.
then i remove a portion of the screen protextor and proximity sensors works again!
even if i use original HTC screen protector... :\

I've tried that already but it didn't work for me. I did have my screen replaced so I wonder if the problem started then...
Same to me... Is this a replaced screen issue?
Strange one this...the red button (bottom right of the 5 physical buttons) just brings the screen to life for me and should work I would have thought regardless if screen is replaced.
hey guys i am facing a problem too with my tmous hd2...i have dual booted it..when i make a call in android or win7 proximity sensor doesnt turn off the screen at all.....so i end calls without my knowledge and intent.....anyone facing similar issues??? anybody knows any solution???
Whenever I start or answer a phone call, my screen goes black and will not turn on until the other person hangs up. I just recently found on my ROM that I can set the power button to end the call so I have been using that, but I cannot use the keypad to type passwords and it is very frustrating. Any ideas on what could be wrong? I am currently using the Black Edition PACRom for the s4, but the problem also happened when using the standard cyanogenmod. I am thinking that maybe the proximity sensor is screwed up but I am just very frustrated about it. Any help would be great!

I think it is the proximity sensor, I had the same issue and what I did is to replace the glass and making some enlargement near the proximity sensor in order to have more blank space around.
you can see it in the photo.
With stock rom, things goes find, now the screen goes black only if i place it on my ear, but with custom rom, i can not hang up calls even if i press the hang up button, call still continuing.
Sorry, if my english is bad, i am a french speaking.
