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:

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.

Sometimes when I get a phone call, I answer by pressing the answer hardware button and instead of answering it cancels the call. It's so annoying, is there a workaround?
I haven't had that problem, but I would suggest that if you hope for anyone to help you, you should change the title of your post to something like "Phone hangs up pressing hard answer button".

Ya i get the same problem... Honestly i think it has happened to me when i have been in the middle of doing something like playing a game, writing an email, etc.... and then the calls come through, and cause there arent enough resources the phone crashes and fails to answer.
Happens to me, too, but as mentioned above I don't think it's an issue with the button....usually it's when I'm syncing.
I HATE it, too!!! Activesync sucks up all resources and even though I see the screen pop up with a call (before it even rings), I press answer and it doesn't respond for 5-10 seconds and the call is gone.
That burns me up. I wish there were some dedicated CPU cycles for the phone app in there somewhere.
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.
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!
Hey guys,
I'm on stock Desire ROM and have a question:
I don't know if it irks anyone else, but having to press end call on the screen (which can go away, i know it goes to notifications too, but still a little fiddly for my like) annoys me a little. I'd much rather be able to press a button on the desire to end a call quickly rather than fiddling around finding end call.
Is there any way to map a button so that it ends the current call if one is active?
I know you can assign long press of the search key to actions, can you do this with the back button? Could i long press the back button to end calls?
Thanks in advance
Just gotten your desire? 'Cause I found it a bit annoying in the beginning first, plus it was confusing the hell outta me. But I quickly adapted and now I'm used to it.
I've had it for a few months now, but every phone i've had before has had a hardware hangup so i've become quite attached.
Just got my Optimus G Pro a week ago, coming from several years of iPhone usage (and upgrades).
As of yet I've not rooted or anything, it's totally stock aside from some play store downloads.
Here's my question. (I don't know if it's by design or if my phone's messed up.)
When on a call, if I hit the lock button, it darks the screen but the phone is not really locked. Any button press takes me straight to the call screen. Is this by design?
The problem I'm running into because of this is; randomly while on a call I'll hear two faint beeps and the screen will turn on. But there is no notifications (no mms, no emails, etc) and I don't have minute minder (plus the beeps are random, not on the minute) so I don't know why the screen is coming back on.
Both of these issues basically means the phone is going to call screen when in my pocket (I use headphones a lot on calls) or on my desk or whatnot and I have accidentally hit buttons.
I'm used to the iphone where when I hit lock, it's really locked. You cannot accidentally activate the phone unless you first unlock the phone. This is a big deal to me because I'm on conference calls a lot. I need to be able to trust when I lock the phone that it's locked (lockscreen).
Outside of calls it works fine, I lock it and I have to do the unlock action to get back to the phone from the lock screen.
Anyone have any insights or suggestions? And is the no lock screen while on a call by design? (cause that'd be a little lame)
I love this phone and really don't want to root (/ custom rom) yet, at least not until I have vetted all the stock issues to make sure custom romming later didn't cause these issues. To me, the lock button should always lock no matter what the phone is doing. It's such a basic expectation that had I rooted or rommed before this I would swear it was cause by that and not a stock function.
The first question yes it does that by design you can hit the home button in call and go back to the.home screen......and if the phone sees light it.thinks its away.from your.face and wakes back up to.do stuff like text or input numbers for call centers and stuff

Hitting the home button while on a call does take me to the home screen, but the phone still doesn't lock. Lock button takes you to a blank screen but the phone is still not locked (at the lock screen).
I believe it's by design, but it sure doesn't make sense. Why would a developer think "Hey, you know that dedicated hardware lock button that all phones have? How about we just not let it work while people are on calls? Why would anyone want to keep their phone from being messed with while on an important call, that'd be silly... Maybe next update we can make the home button randomly take you somewhere other than the home screen."

I don't know but why would you lock a phone during a call? you won't be able to input numbers during a call or just remove it from your year for a second to glance at the call time.....and when the call ends the screen lights up to show you call info and reminding you if you want to lock your phone............so what i am trying to say if i cannot understand the usefulness of locking during call.......if you want the screen to turn off the proximity sensor does that.................can you please give me an example of its use.....thank you
