I use my phone for work and just leave it plugged in whenever on a conference call, so the screen doesn't time out (checked setting). Now I love the feature of the screen blacking out via proximity sensor whenever not using a BT, just my ear, then the screen turning back on when I move my head away.
However, whenever I'm away from the charger and on a call using my BT earpiece, the screen times out very quick. And there's no way to get the screen back on using the power button at that point, as it'll just hang up the call. My BT does not have mute functionality, and there are times when I need to click Mute or use the dial pad... and at that point, I'm SOL.
I've put a Screen On widget on my desktop and in the notification bar, but the screen times out too quickly for me to remember to tick it. And that's a pain to do anyway on every BT call when not connected to power.
Question... Is there any kind of setting that once the bluetooth option is checked in the dialer, that the screen could stay on longer? Or would this need a mod? Thanks.

I am using an 8125 with Slide2Unlock and the Iphone dialer pad. Even with the standard dialer phone pad, if I want to stop using the headset during a call I must use the menu button at the bottom and select "Turn Hands-free off".. There are times that I do not want to use my BT headset or vehicle hands free unit. I would like to know if anyone had extracted that command and if it could be placed on the "in call" dialer skin as a hot button, like hold or mute, without having to go through the menu to access it. I don't need anything fancy that toggles the bluetooth on/off, in fact I would like to leave that unaffected. Simply a command that shortens the finger strokes of going through the in call menu and setting the handfree status.
Thanks in advance to brain tank.....
Does anybody have any ideas????? Please would really like an app like this....
Please Please...really want an app like this but I have no idea how to make one.
Thanks

Speaker phone is not my issue, I want to toggle between Headset and Handset while in a call. Like pressing menu/Handfree off.

I tested a today plug-in which did it, unfortunately I don't remember the name. AFAIK it is the only software capable of doing it while in a call, so.... hope you'll find it
Problem when answer a call via Bluetooth hand set!!!
When answering a phone call with a Bluetooth hand set and the device is in the case the screen remains on during the call, only if I take the device out and than back into the case the screen goes off. The light sensor turns the screen off only if it senses a light and than dark.
Is it possible to do something that when answering a phone call with Bluetooth hand set the screen will turn off (or not turns on at all) automatically to save battery power?
Thanks,
I've posted on the Q&A thread, and PM'd the Mod as requested and had no response so hopefully someone can help me out.
When I make outgoing calls using the bluetooth stereo in my car the screen comes on and unlocks automatically. This means the End button gets pressed in my pocket and it promptly hangs up. Proximity sensor works fine by my face and incoming calls show the standard HTC lock (slide down to answer or up to dismiss and the stereo can override this. Haven't had it hang up an incoming call, but presumably it could as once answered the screen will be unlocked.
I tried screen suite but it changed the whole look of the phone and was slow as it was showing its own and the stock lock screens. I tried screebl too but that's based on phone orientation which varies depending on which pocket the phone is in.
I don't understand why the screen is unlocking when calls are made over bluetooth - help!
Hello
Is there any way to silence a call using the watch? I am not talking about rejecting the call, just to turn off the ringer.
It can be done by pressing the vol/power button on the phone but I cant find how to do it on watch.
quick google couldnt give me the answer, hope you guys know any way to acheive this
You can look at the app "Ringtone Remote" in Google Play. I haven't tried it, but it seems to be able to do what you want. It is also free!
When you cover the watch with a open palm, the watch will turn black and the phone will become silent and the call will continue to ring silently
Nice, didn't know that. It actually did work... the first time. When I test it the second time the call on the watch gets muted but the phone keeps on ringing, even though it did work the first time I tested.
thanks it works. But i dont get a 100% success rate. But it still works
Wear Mini Launcher, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.npi.wearminilauncher. It has a Widgets screen that controls multiple things on the phone, including allowing you to toggle speaker on, mute, or vibrate... from the watch.
I would also like to be able to touch one of the icons on the watch face that I am using to immediately mute the watches' speaker. That would solve your request and mine also. Thanks
Anyone have any ideas on how to keep the screen turned off while accepting a call through Bluetooth?
In this scenario, I answer the call while working out and the screen turns on (while in pocket) and starts pushing numbers or hangs up.
Thank you
check the notification settings, set to sound only vs wake screen
