Hello, I have been looking all day to find out how to lock the screen during a call.
I keep getting random things happening when I am calling… Hanging up, calling someone else, programs running… etc… Hanging up is the most common for me.
I would like to have the screen lock when connected but have the hardware keys still active so I can end the call. But I also need to be able to get to the keypad and other areas when on a call, but I would like to have to unlock the screen first.
Thanks!
Have you tried hitting the power button on top to turn off the screen during a call? then if you need to get to something you tap the power button again to turn on the screen again. Simple, effective.
That solution does not work with a bluetooth headset. When you disconnect your call via headset, the screen comes on even if the power button has been pressed.
I have S2U2, but I can't figure out if there's a way around this 'feature.'
You should try Throttle Lock. It locks the phone very well.
Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off the display while in a call? On my HTC Touch Pro I was able to just press the power button to achieve this - but on the Hero the power button is also the hang up button.
Any ideas?
Actually it's supposed to turn off automatically.
IMO the problem isn't turning the screen off during a call, it's turning it back on when needed.

I agree completely... Is an annoying issue that display go away on call because if you need something, ie keyboard or see call duration you need to do something for have it back.
Why not try this app, which you shake to wake the screen - not tired it myself but worth a go
Shake Awake
If the screen goes blank during a call you can simply press the menu button to wake up the screen again. Just tested that and it works fine.
Still, it would be nice to be able to turn it off when I want and not have to wait for it to time out to switch the display off.
You can also press the answer button to wake screen while in a call.
As to shake-it-to-wake-it, with the non-stick coating on the device I would probably be likely to launch it out of my hand !!! haha
Sprint Hero
I just picked up a Spring HTC Hero this weekend and am finding the same problem. When I place the phone up to my ear the screen does not shut off. However since the end button is also the same button used to turn off the screen, I'm in a catch 22.
For now I have to wait for the screen to time out. Turning the screen back on is not an issue as many have mentioned.
Hello everyone
I replaced my lcd and digitizer because the touch did not working on the original screen of K3 note
I have the following problems
The screen works and touch also when i power up the device but when i lock the screen from power button the screen 8/10 times never turn on and i can see only the backlight, if i press multiple times the power button it will turn on finally but i never know when it will. If i remove the battery and turn it on again , everything works fine until i lock the phone. The phone works when it is locked by the way. Also if i press the power button to unlock the touch works but i can see only the back light no image.
I tried to lock and unlock the screen with gestures , same problem.
The weird think is that sometimes it turns on.
One think i forgot to mention is that sometimes when the screen turn on after pressing the power button i see black horizontal lines for some seconts(flickering) and then they dissapear
I tried a lot of different roms, i disconnected and connected again, never sleep mode with safe locker , i disabled the proximity sensor with x posed , i removed the sd card, nothing helped.
Can anyone suggest me something else to do?
Changing screen settings maybe? and how
Thanks a lot and sorry for my engish it is not my native language.
Today and yesterday I had a weird issue with my v10, as I was playing a game the screen started moving around as if someone had been tapping randomly. I couldn't tap the screen or swipe up to press the home button. When I pressed the power button the fingerprint sensor unlocked the phone again but the phone was still spazzing out. Then I went to the lock screen and tried holding the power button to turn off the phone and the power menu appeared but I couldn't tap anything. After that I pulled the battery and it was fixed. Does anyone know what caused this or how to prevent this form happening again?
So my G8X was working normally until all of a shudden today I started facing this bug or whatever it is. So the problem is:
Earlier when I used to touch and hold on Home Screen, it would give me these options like Widgets, Wallpaper&Theme, Home Screen Settings. But all of a sudden today when I tapped and held on home screen my phone got locked. I pressed the power button but my phone wouldn't wake. I realised that whenever I tap and hold on home screen the phone would get lock and show a message "Fingerprint operation cancelled" on the black lock screen above the finger print animation and then to wake it up I have to press the power button two times (only in the case of touch and hold locking) . I thought that phone's "Knock On" Extension was messing with it so I turned it off but to no use. The problem still persisted. I tried clearing cache and then tried clearing cache of "Home" from Apps&Notifications settings but Nada.
At last I did a factory reset and did a fresh setup but to my surprise the problem still persisted. Why the heck is this happening and that too all of a sudden. The functioning of Tap and Hold on home screen for settings was fine all this time and then all of a sudden this started happening.
Can any anybody help? Shed some light?
So I Factory reset it for the second time and it didn't solve the problem. And I noticed that locking phone by pressing power key and pressing it again to wake it up works if I press it in like 5 seconds right after locking it. If I lock the phone and leave it like for more than 5 seconds or so then I'll have to press the power key two times to wake it up. WTH and why has it started happening out of the blues? ??

Dont worry ez solve mate
i uploaded a video mate watch it after reading it https://youtu.be/lnXSBsGdMJQ
There is a sensor in top (near the selfi camera) if it is blocked the phone will think that it is in pocket so it will disable the fingerprint sensor(if you newly installed screen protector may cause the sensor to block ) so it disable fingerprint and double press to screen on
