Whenever I get an incoming call and the screen is off, it takes the screen several seconds to turn on. I almost can't answer the call because the screen doesn't come on until the caller hangs up. I'm stock but rooted. Anyone have any ideas? It's really annoying.
Wish I could help. I use the quick window case and the calls display in the window faster it seems because only the top half congress on

It's almost like there's screen lag when a call is incoming. I can hear the ringtone and see the LED light blinking but the screen remains black for 4-7 seconds. If the caller continues hanging on...the screen will eventually come on and show the incoming call screen.
This really sucks.
EDIT: I think I figured it out. I froze the Caller Name ID app in TiBu and I guess by freezing it, it caused some issues when calls out come in. Defrosting it fixed the incoming call screen lag. I wonder if it would still produce lag if I were to completely uninstall it?

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!
Cheers,

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.
I got a question. When you're talking on the phone, does your screen goes off in 10 seconds, then 2 seconds later, the screen turns back on, then turns off in 10 seconds, and keeps going..
Cuz while I was talking on the phone using bluetooth, I just happen to noticed this and even using my finger to hide the proximity sensor, it does the same thing.
[EDIT] When I'm on a call and then hit the home button to get to the main screen (still on call), then it turns off like normal and it won't turn itself on. But for some reason, in the "Call Window" it just repeatedly goes off and on.. Hmmm
Problem 2: When I'm on a call, and have my phone in my pocket, when someone phones me, my leg would help me 'accept' the call. I did a test. When I'm on a call and block the proximity sensor, the screen locks up (which is fine) but when someone phones in (call waiting), the screen is accessible again even though the proximity server is still covered. This makes it so that it would still accidently accept the call when someone phones in while still in pocket.
Can anyone try it and see if it does it on your phone?
Yes mine does that. It sucks because frequently, I will hit the hang up button with my cheek. Annoying.
I hope they fix this asap...
its very annoying, mine does the same thing
When using the supplied headset during calls my screen will dim and as soon as I start speaking it becomes active again leaving it open to respond to touch. Anyone else experience this?

Nobody?
Is this question too stupid to answer?? I just would like to know if its normal for the phones screen to seemingly turn off and on while making calls with the headset. Im not a headset guy so I have no idea? But I have accidentally hung up on my wife twice now (yes accidentally) because the screen stays on/active.
Yeah I notice that just when using it regularly...takes ages to dim or turn off. Odd for sure and an oversight it seems
Yes, I had that a week ago, the Screen timeout actived for 3 seconds and led up again.
Then i reallized that I had batterytime lite Icon and Task Killer Icon on Status Bar.
Just I removed them and thing were back to normal again.
So give it a try, hope that helps
I have the Verizon G2 and just wondering if anyone else notices the incoming call screen changes. Sometimes I have the screen where the answer/decline buttons are circles and require a slide but other times I have an answer screen with big squares for answer/decline and require a press.
I can not figure out the reasoning why this screen changes formats. I just had 2 calls from the same person and each call was different.
When I'm in a call and get a 2nd call, it normally the big squares. What sucks is that when talking and the phone is on my cheek, the 2nd call comes in, turns on the display and with the huge buttons, I've answered and declined a few calls with my cheek.
I also notice with the latest update that the screen is turning on more often and my face starts hitting buttons. Mostly the clock from the statusbar notification shade, go into time settings and messes up my time. Usually I find my clock in 24hr mode. Today it was 2hours off.
I'm not sure if notifications coming in while on a call is turning the screen on or if the sensor is getting whacky. Its getting to the point where it is becoming annoying so I'm posting about it.
Anyone else notice the dual answer screen formats and having issues with being on calls and the screen turning on? I've been having to hit the power button to force the screen from coming on and launching stuff or toggling my notification stuff.

I have the exact same problem. I actually factory reset the phone to no avail. It's weird absolutely. But I've learned to live with it by not pressing the whole phone on my cheek, instead it's held at a slight angle, just the top speaker on my ear and the rest away from my face. The phone gets less dirty and there's no chance I'll press some things with my face.
I've found that if you manually turn the phone off via power button, it'll stay off. The problem is then ending the call since pulling it away won't turn on the screen.
However I am still curious about the Incoming Call screen theme. Sometimes it uses the small Circles that you click and drag while other calls use the big square button theme. It flip flops randomly.
I can't remember if the Incoming call screen would flip flop before but the screen on/off bug was introduced in 4.4.2
Anyone having this problem? All of a sudden when I either receive a call or place a call, the Call app that does the overlay locks up and the screen goes completely unresponsive. I can't answer the call (except via a bluetooth device). Likewise with hanging up. I can't press the buttons to turn on speaker -- nothing works. The notification comes up green during a call with the phone icon, but no text.
Eventually: "Call is not responding" pops up, and I'm given the options to Wait or End the app. Ending the app sees it restart immediately and become unresponsive again. Rebooting the phone or waiting for the call to disconnect are my only ways out.
Beyond frustrating! Any ideas? HELP & thanks!
