Guys I have a question... when I talk on the phone (with speakers on so I leave it on the table), the screen goes black... the problem is that every time I want to turn the screen back on I actually have to use the power button... the home button doesnt work, it's blacked (even if i have set always on display to be active all the time).
Is there a way to turn the screen back on without pressing the power button? Or have the home button active even if the screen goes black during a phone call? thank you!
Anyone?
Home button should be active at all times, you may need to press hard, blindly in the right place but it should work at least it works on mine, no problem.
You sure? Your home button works even when you talk with speakers on and the screen turns black?

Of course it works. Maybe it has some time out function, when it disables home button after certain time, I don't know since I never talk more than few min, but when screen goes blank, couple min later I press home button and it goes straight to talk screen bypassing lock. But I have location/BT set as secure, so it never locks up when I'm home, at work or in a car and have not test it much outside of those places. So if I had to make wild guess it's one of 3: 1. it has some time out 2. something with security lock 3. you're not pressing hard enough or wrong place, you really have to press hard, like you want bend screen a little.
My S6 did this also.
Some help?....
@tharghan
Same problem...
If anyone has a solution for this problem of black screen on speaker calls!?

If you tap and hold the middle direction button as well as the calendar button it brings up the align screen program.
Does anyone know how to disable it. Is really doing my nut as when i take the phone out of my pocket a lot of the time its on that screen. I'm actually running mortsaver but it makes no difference.
I just spent 30 mins trying to work out how and why it was bringing up the align screen when in my pocket.
Cheers
Never saw that before ... but your right. Maybe u should turn on the buttonlock in settings, lock all buttons except the power button.
Works for me..
I get annoyed of my cheeck touching the screen and pressing buttons. I want it to lock so I don't touch it by accident. Any options like that?
Newest version of Slide 2 Unlock can do this for you, its in the forums
Can't you just turn the power off when you start a call?

this is what i do, because i don't like the random button pressing either. just hit the power button on the top of the phone after you make the call, so the screen turns off. you'll still be connected to your call.
Or you can just go to the home screen and lock the the device
So I run S2U2 and have it set to blank screen on talk. This works great since I occasionally would hang up on people or press buttons when my face touched the soft buttons on the screen. However, I also have Key Lock setup so my phone doesn't randomly come on all the time and drain the battery while it's in the holster. I also had a couple occasions (before turning on key lock) where S2U2 didn't come on and I ended up calling someone without knowing it.
Anyway, the problem I run into now is that when I'm done on the phone and want to hang up, the end call button is locked out and I have to first press power to get the screen back and then hang up. Is there something in between where I can have both the power and hang up button enabled while locked? Optimally the hang up button would only be enabled during a call so it wouldn't wake up the phone when not in use. A search brought up products like AE Buttons, but I didn't see an option to do what I want.
Thanks,

Hello all,
I have a question regarding the Samsung Omnia 7's home button and its responsiveness. I've heard some say that it's not very responsive, and that it takes a few presses for for the device to respond. Is this true? How responsive is the home button?
I've been using it for 2 weeks now and have no problems with the home button
Sometimes I have this issue. Thinking about sending it back for repair if the problem persists/gets worse. Curious fact: If you press hard at the bottom of the device, while pushing the windows-button - it won't react at all.
Make sure that you are not covering the light and proximity sensor..
You can experiment it by placing your hand on top of the phone and press the home button.. You will notice that the screen doesn't turn on!
That was it. Covering the light sensors at the top right disables the home-button. Very understandable given that you don't want it to turn on in your pocket.

But isn't that the point of having a lockscreen? what are the chances of pushing the home button, and sliding up the lockscreen in your pocket?
The power button wakes it up even if the sensors are covered, so it seems having this feature on the home button is an unnecessary annoyance.
For what it's worth...I don't want to have an empty battery just because something in my pocket pressed the home button and the screen lit up.
This feature is good -why should I press the home button when the proximity sensor is being covered?
Sometimes the home button is not responding at all. Only a reboot helps. Anyone with similar problems and a solution? Or is this a wp7-bug.

Read the posts above.
It's not a bug. The home button will not react if the LIGHT SENSOR is covered. It's designed that way, so if the button is pressed in your pocket your phone won't turn on and waste battery.
Try in a well lit area and do not cover the sensor at the top of the phone. The home button will work exactly the same as the lock button then.
If the sensor is covered, the home button won't react. If it's not, then the home button will.
End of story, moving on...

So in theory, if you are in a pitch black room, your home button will not turn on the screen? Don't think so.
........It's not the light sensor, it's the proximity sensor.

Sorry but that is simply not true (so not end of story....) I actually just tried to lay down my phone on a table and then cover the whole top of the phone with my hand (also tried with a piece of thick paper) so the sensor is covered. Then I tried to press the Home button, well it still works on my Omnia 7. I always return to the homescreen or my turned off screen will turn on - even with the sensor in the top covered completely - but what I cant is to scroll in the tiles or anything on the screen (sometimes), seems the sensor disables all my touch on the screen, but not the hardwarebutton Home in the middle - if you dont believe it, I could create a video of it.....

I've had such a problem ... the home button not responding ...
also in conversation I could not hang up call, just a black screen would remain. Only remove the battery worked. when I got the jig, I put the new software and have no further problems
In the last couple of weeks, when the pattern lock screen is displayed, it intermittently doesn't accept touch input. If I power off and on the screen quickly, it then accepts touch input fine.
Similarly, if I press and hold the power button (with the phone on), it brings up a "Phone Options" screen, with options for Silent, Airplane, Profile, Reboot and Power Off. Touch input does not work at all on this screen. I'm working around this by using the Quick Boot app.
Otherwise, touch input works fine, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.
I've seen something similar when Google Nav gets in front of the lock screen. Touch doesn't work until I power off and on the screen, and enter the lock pattern. Could something invisible be getting in front of the lock and power screens?

Hey there,
Maybe the ROM h doesnt function properly on your device. Try shifting to another rom. All are equally amazing. If you do not want to shift, try running task29 and start the process all over again

Have you read the thread about the unresponsive touchscreen, where pressing hard on the end call button fixes the screen touch? I assume your problem is in essence the same; once you press it hard enough to actually unlock the screen the touch works fine.

That probably is what the problem is. Btw to everyone, I haven't noticed a difference in pressing it really hard, I noticed that pressing it a lot of times does the trick

Thanks for the feedback. I don't think it's the ROM, been using GBX-v12 since it was released, and previous versions before that.
The symptoms do seem similar to the other thread, but others report it on many screens. I only get it on the lock and reset/power screen. Otherwise, it works fine. However, those screen are brought up after pressing the power key ...
I suppose if it is hardware, then it's likely that cable issue. If it's software, then a reset should clear it, so I might try an ICS ROM from scratch first.

I guess i shoulda commented that how my digitizer began acting, it only did it while in the power menu but after a couple days it started doing it while just hitting the power button to put it to sleep, so i remapped my green phone key to be the power button

Thanks for the tip. You're right about the symptoms getting worse, it now occasionally stops working on other screen
I'm using any button but power to turn on the phone. To turn it off I've added "Go to sleep" to the notification widget bar, which I assume is the same as pressing power??
Not quite as user friendly and sometimes I forget not to use power off, but it'll do for now!

Yes that will work! I used it cause I got lazy and didn't feel like changing the key file but it's much easier to use the green call key instead of the notification power widget

Try this:
Lock the screen normally, screen turns off.
To turn it on again by pressing any other screen buttons other than the power button.
I found that if I do it this way, the screen runs normal.
