Xperia, accidental screen touch

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.

How to turn off the screen during call duration?

Nice to meet all the bro & sisters here.
Sorry if this question been repeated, I searched but not find anything related to this.
I am TYTN II user switched to HD2 just 2 days ago.
I have noticed one button with end call button + switch off/standby.
Whenever I am on the call wanted to turn off the screen the phone went off after pressed the standby button, sometimes the screen automatically turn off but when the phone is shaking the screen turn back on in my pocket.
Tried locking the screen but no outcome.
Hope someone can help me out with solutions.
thanks & merry christmas to everyone.

Hd2 has a proximity sensor which will automatically turn off / dim the screen when you are in a call.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, but during walk the screen will keep turn off and on that will consume the battery life.

Also to the point, if the screen goes off during a call, how do I get it back on again (i.e. pressing the normal screen-on key ends the call)

It only does this when you are in a call. At other times, when you lock the phone, the screen stays off till you press the end-call button again.

You put the phone to your ear, and the screen goes off instantly.
You move it away from your ear and the screen comes back on instantly.
If it's not working like that then there's an issue somewhere, as that's what it's supposed to do, and it works perfectly for me and many others.
Do you guys with the problem have screen protectors on? I do, but mine doesn't interfere with the proximity sensor. I know that some can though, as reported by other users in this forum.

Sorry bros
My meaning is if using hand free kit & the phone kept in pant pocket, while moving on the road the phone sensor makes the screen goes on & off repeatly
didn't any one notice this point? Until I take out and hold it then stop blinking.
Hope it is clear now.
The sensor is just for phone when it is near the ear & away from the ear or on the table upside down.

Please help me thank you

I use a hands free set a lot, and just put the phone in the sleeve while in a conversation.
The proximity sensor then keeps the screen turned off.

Hi ofuroinu, there are lots of solutions :
You can install S2U2.
In power settings it has an option "Blank Screen on Talk" which automatically shuts off the screen when the call begins.
Or you can also install AEButtonPlus and associate the long press of send button (or another one ... yet it is not working for all the buttons) with the Switch on / switch off Screen command (number 32 in the list) to do it manually at will with a long key press.
I suppose you can also have a look at mortscript to find a script that toggle the screen, then associate the script to a shortcut that you can put in the home tab shortcuts.
Cheers,
Nibbler.

Silly question, but if the phone is in your pocket, how on Earth do you know that the screen is turning on and off?

THANK YOU TO ALL THE GOOD FRIENDS WHO HAVE REPLIED ME.
Maybe it is silly question to Jim Coleman, I am sorry.
I CAN SEE THE SOFT SCREEN LIGHT THRU MY PANT, BECOX IS QUITE THIN MATERIAL, AND OF COURSE ON THIS EARTH BROTHER.
ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU TO EVERYONE & MERRY CHRISTMAS & FRUITFUL NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.

Accidental disconnecting of calls with cheek

Hi,
I realised that sometimes when I am talking on the phone I could accidentally disconnect a call with my cheek. I know there is supposed to be a proximity sensor thing preventing it from happening. But still it happens now & then. Is there any apps to lock the screen while on call? or a sliding "OFF" button? So the call won't get disconnected that easily with a touch while on call?

also looking for something like this.

While in a call, press the home button or the power button. That will prevent you from hanging up.

First check you have all the latest software updates. If it is still a problem send it back (if its under warranty)!!
The proximity sensor is meant to turn the screen off when the phone is by your face and this deactivates any buttons that could be pressed. When you remove the phone from your ear the screen should automatically turn back on. If the screen is on when its next to your ear there is something wrong. You should not have to use an app or press anything so I suggest getting in contact with HTC asap.

[Q] Buttons Being Pushed During Calls

Whenever I'm talking on the phone and holding the phone with my shoulder and face, no hands, my cheek presses buttons on the dialer, opens apps, changes my calendar, date and time, all kind of annoying things. My only work around is to hit the power button the turn the screen off, which is very inefficient. Is there any other way around this, some setting or something? I've never had this problem on any other phone. Thank for the help.

Proximity sensor issue? Or that it isn't covered enough when it rests between your shoulder and face. Is it the same when you hold the phone normally when on a call?

Check to see if your screen protector is partially covering your proximity sensor.. or your case or something else..

Proximity sensor during a phone call

I'm having a problem where the screen doesn't turn back on when I pull the phone away from my ear during a phone call. Mostly, I am trying to hang up on a phone call but the screen won't turn on unless I hit the power button. The proximity sensor works because if I wave my hand over the screen, the notifications pop up. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks in advance.

There's 3 of them two on the bottom and another top left which is used for calls could be that one that's defective

Compressed air.

Same here.
Top left sensor works. Just leaves the phone dark.

Same here as well, but only on longer calls
