does anyone know of a way or an app to keep the screen off and stay off during a call unless i hit the button to turn the screen on? the proximity sensor sucks and at least once a week i end up muting someone with my cheek without knowing it and it ends up being the 2 of us screaming "CAN YOU HEAR ME?!??! HELLO!??!? HELLO!!??!?!" ... as a matter of fact my girlfriend has it way worse with her g2. her proximity sensor is horrible and she's always putting me on hold, mute or hanging up on them.
my ideal situation (and i will love you forever if you tell me a way or an app to do this) would be if the screen turns off and stays off when on a call, but when you hit the screen on button, it bypasses the lock screen (a totally unnecessary step when you're in a call and would have had to hit a physical button on the top of the phone itself to get the screen on) and turns the screen on, ready to do whatever it is you need to do in the middle of a call.
thanks everyone.
Yeah, hit the power button once and the screen will turn off during your call.

but won't my face going against and away from the sensor eventually make the screen turn back on at some point? i haven't specifically monitored my attempts to try that, but i'm sure i've done it before and it didn't last thru the call. or it did one time and not another or something.
Works for me.

just tried that today and as soon as you take the phone away from your face the screen comes back on (so if you moved it away for a second then back, you've got a phone with a turned on screen right up against your face)
I have the same problem. I do it all the time. Suddenly can't here someone only to realize they are on hold. I'd love some sort of solution or work around as well.

I'm running CM 7 Stable. When I push my power button to illuminate the screen, it doesn't do anything. The bottom buttons light up and I have to swipe the unseen unlock slider to get the screen to come up. This also happens with incoming calls. Some what intermittent, but 80% of the time I have to swipe the invisible slider. Any suggestions?

lol i never thought of that, it does help a bit but not 100%. Thanks for that, anyone else heard of this.
I have recently encountered a problem with my hox, where, if I press the power button, the screen doesn't awake. It's a little weird, because the back home app switcher buttons do light up if it is dark enough around me and, after pushing them a few times, the volume buttons respond as well.
I haven't fully tested it, but it seems like when I wait like a minute or so, maybe more, the screen does finally wake up. I have also held the power button several times to restart it while it was like this and then the screen doesn't light up until the sim unlock screen pops up.
I have yet to factory reset the phone etc., but I was wondering if anyone else had run into this problem. I have looked around the internet, but was unsure what to search for.

Are u using sweep to wake?, that sometimes causes this problem
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Nope, I do not have sweep to wake.
Well, after a while of being okay, the issue is showing up again. If I press the power button it does wake the phone somehow (back, home, tasks lights light up, volume can be altered), but the screen wont come on. And when it's one of those rare moments that it does turn on the UI flies everywhere, making it literary uncontrolable, until at some point the screen just turns itself off.
I am not running any custom things, everything is stock. I tried a factory reset without erasing the SD storage. I also have just sent an email to HTC, but it being weekend and all I still have to wait a day or two.
Any other things I could try?
Never had this problem with the HOX.

Hi, I was wondering what did you do regarding the lockscreen problem. I'm having exactly the same problem here. I've already done a factory reset but it did not solve the issue. From time to time I'm not able to unlock the phone.
Please HELP!!!
It sometimes happens to me, recently after clearing the clock and weather apps and widgets. I don't know what it is.
Hello im having a problem with my desire z. the screen automatically lights up to the lockscreen as if i have pressed the unlock button on the top and then it goes off normally like if i press the power lock button, it goes off but then again after 30 seconds it comes on. i though it was a problem with a rom but i switched to 2 roms and the problem is still here. i have been facing this for 2 days. Any help?
thanks in advance

Does it stay on? Do you have any kind of notifications going? When you switched roms did you do a full wipe between them?
Well i cant really find a good title for my problem.
Usually at night when my phone idle for a few hours its just "falls a sleep" or something
I can see the charging led or a green led if I have a message but no matter how much ill press the wake up button
the screen wont turn on, only if ill hold it for like 10-20 sec the phone will restart.
any idea how i can fix that ?
Are you on Stock Rom/Kernel? Rooted? If you want help you'll have to be a little more specific about your case, it sounds like your phone won't come back from deep sleep, AFAIK it could be kernel related, I've had this happen to me but not definitely like your case, usually a couple of presses of the power button revive it to the lock screen as it should.
