anyone notice that when your in a call, and you move the phone away from your face, it sometimes goes to the home menu?
sometimes when the call is over i go to hang up and notice its in the home menu and i have to open up the phone program to end my call... its a pain...
Or you could just press the bottom right button
will that still end the call from any screen yoru in?
well ill try that next call..haha..
Yah....that's the main reason the button is there. If you are in the phone screen, press it twice and it brings you home
wow.. it works awesome... !!!!! lol
thanks!!

Hi Guys,
Ive noticed that sometimes when i use the speakerphone (either by pushing the on-screen button or flipping the phone over), it works fine. However, once the call is over, the touchscreen is deactivated it seems. Nothing works. Cant press anything. As for the hardware buttons, the windows button works, and the power button works. The volume, call, and end call buttons do nothing.
Not sure if this is relevant, but I only notice it if the phone was flipped over (with touchscreen down). If i used speakerphone with the phone facing up, doesnt seem to happen.
The only ways ive found to fix this are to soft reset with that little button under the cover, or to miss a call. (obviously, if a call comes in, I cant answer it as none of the ways you'd use to answer a call still work). After the call is missed though, the touchscreen comes back to life.
any ideas??
thanks
havent notice quite this.. but something similar...
when i wanna make a quick phone call
i open the keyboard type name of contact,
select the contact and hit enter to make the
phone call.. when i close the keyboard to turn
the phone to my ear, half of the screen looks
normal and have of it looks all MESSED UP...
im sure is not a hardware problem or anything.. ( well i hope so )
i think is not bcuz it only do it on that situation..
besides that my screen is normal..
bump
phone been around a while now...maybe someone else noticed this problem...
I've noticed that sometimes my phone will go into "sleep" mode like when you quickly press the power button. Maybe a quick tap of the power button to wake it up will help.
Maybe it's just me but I would like to go to my home screen when I end a call instead of back to the dialer/phone. I searched but couldn't find anything on that.
Anyone know how to do this or care to figure it out?
This is too easy....press the hardware End key?
You may want to elaborate if this isn't what you're after...

I take it you're like me and you spam the end key about 5 times at the end of a call?

Ok now I feel stupid. Thanks though, I would probably never have thought of that on my own.
Is it possible to get the onscreen end key to do the same?
I made a post with a similar problem a while back and had no replies to fix it.
The contents are as follows:
Tilt2, End call, looking at contacts! Why?
Tilt2: If i get a call and hit the end call button, why am i left looking at my contacts. It ONLY happens on incoming calls. If i end call on a call i made, from within my contacts, it goes back to the main screen!

My problem is that i use spb mobile shell and after i end the call, the phone relocks. When i later unlock the phone, i am still looking at the contacts.
Ok I don't feel so stupid. Hardware key does the exact same thing as soft key. Phone isn't fast enough to hit it twice in succesion and lock the screen in one fluid motion so I go back to my original request.
Anyone know how to get it to go from end call (soft or hard butotn) directly to home screen instead of to the dialer?

Not sure if it has anythign to do with it or not, but might it have something to do with the phone asking if you want to add them to your contacts and maybe you are inadvertantly hitting somethign sending you to your contacts?
I've not had any issue with it pulling up my contacts unless I accidently hit something.
Whoops, should read:
My problem is that i use S2U2 and after i end the call, the phone relocks. When i later unlock the phone, i am still looking at the contacts.
Im am positive i am not hitting anything on the screen because sometimes i hit the talk and speaker phone, then use the end call button. We have 2 of these and both do the same thing. It only happens if the phone was locked to start with. If the phone is not locked (figured this out playing them), once i end the call, the contacts screen will go away in 10 seconds or so.

Try this. Hit the End key and then the Back key in quick succession. This will bring you to your last opened window. If you didn't have any active windows, this will bring you back to your home screen.
Use this One Not Call Log Prefs from Android Market
When I miss a call and look at it by tapping the missed call notification and then on the missed call tab to view all missed calls, to exit by either the hardware back arrow button or the 'soft' back button, I have to press it twice. Actually, If I press the end call/home key, it exits first time. It's an annoyance more than anything.
Doesn't do this if i go into the dialer and then call history. Anyone else suffer with this?
I too have noticed differences in behaviour on the call screen (missed or otherwise) depending on the path you take to access it. Just one of those annoyances that I believe is programmed in. I have always had issues with the "consistancy" of menu choices throughout the phone. Not just in this area. But... having said that... I still think it's the best phone out there right now. I've learned to deal with the inconsistancies. They are not real bugs, just annoyances. I have the VZW TP2 on VZW with factory upgrade to 6.5 (which I'm happy with).

yeap. same here. My "end" key does not "end" all programs depending on how I access them. To exit my texting page I have to press the "back" soft key and then the back arrow key. I remember when my "end" key would simply end whatever screen I was on.
Still having this issue and I cannot figure it out. Definitely not a hardware issue. Any help would be much appreciated!
Coming from the EVO I have a couple questions.
- Is there a way to get the phone when done with a call to go to the home screen? My EVO was like this and I have searched through settings and can't find anything.
- Also I drive a lot so when I press my bluetooth button on all my past phones the phone would wake up and let me make a call without touching the screen. But when I press my bluetooth button the phone doesn't even wake up. Sometimes the vlingo app will come on and tell me how many calls I have missed, but it doesn't let me make a call through the headset.
If I reach over and press the power button then the phone turns on and the vlingo starts up. I don't care for the Vlingo but will live it until I get brave enough to root to freeze it.
But is there a setting my phone will wake up the screen when I press the call button on my headset?
I'm using ARHD 9.7.2 and having issues everytime I end a call.
Not sure if this is ROM issue,but it started appearing after I flashed the rom.
Sometimes, but quite often, call ends and everything works fine, but after a short while, when I turn on the phone, I get the full call screen with grayed out "end call" button (from the previous call), I can't click on it (on the big red "end call" button), but I can click on the buttons to the left and right (contacts and dialer I think).
Sometimes I can kill the call screen and go back to home screen, but it does pop up after a while again, usually with completely unresponsive buttons. I can't even get the restart menu, so I have to turn off the phone by holding on button.
Anyone know what is causing this issue? It's really annoying.
