Hi on my Samsung Galaxy s3 i got a situation where when I am on my phone during a phone call, when i put the phone next to my ear the screen turns on, but when i take it off my ear the screen turns on. This feature never really works, it only works 1 out of the 10 times i try it. How do i turn this setting off so that when i am in a "call" the screen is always on
Press your phone button so you are at the dialer. Press menu and go to call settings. Uncheck Auto Screen Off During Calls.

Is there anyway to switch to another app while on a call?
On Sony Xperia, one can press "home" key to switch to the home screen and start another app while continue to talk on the phone, but on Note 2 the call screen stay on no matter which key is press. Can anyone tell me if this is normal.

Maybe a other dialer helps? I've not tested it on standard. Go Contacts EX (dialer and contacts). I can dial and press home there.

No, what I meant is when you are already in a call. How to you get to check emails, SMS message or even play games at the same time when you are speaking to someone. I can not switch out of the contact's screen as it simply locks up the screen no matter which key is pressed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
I am using the Note 2 LTE
I just tested my phone..while on call..I pressed the home button..my dialer went away and my home page appeared. I am using stock rooted rom with go launcher.

What I mean is that during a call I can just press home, then open what ever I like. It works with Go Contacts anyway. I just tried it. Opened up Gmail without issues. See the green area in the top?

It's just a setting you need to correct. Do this:
Click and open the phone
Tap the menu button (next to home key)
Click on call settings
Check the auto screen off
thank you very much

Hello everyone, new here just purchased galaxy nexus yesterday, got rid of my galaxy s2! One thing I'm missing is the screen shot feature. I haven't figured out if this phone has it or not. If not is there a way to add? Haven't yet rooted phone either.. How long do you think it will be before this phone gets 4g? Thanks to all for your help.
Screen shot is in just about every single ROM out.
What do you mean when will it get 4g?the LTE antenna isn't going anywhere.
You just have to press together the power button + the volume down button. Simple!

I don't have the 4g option yet... so in order for me to screen shot I need to root this phone?

Hey something new we learn everyday, especially with the Note 2. lol.
Thank you, was wondering why it didn't automatically show on the display, good thinking Samsung.
I only noticed this problem within the last 4 months. I just haven't had time to investigate fully or post about it. I've searched the forums and Googled to no avail. So, hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
Problem:
Whenever I dial out, just as I hit the dial button, the phone auto-switches the ringer mode to whatever is "next up". What I mean when I say "next up" is that if you were to physically hit the Volume Up button on the side of the phone, this is essentially what my phone is doing automatically when I hit dial.
So example, if my phone is currently on silent mode (i.e. if I hit the Volume Up button, it'll switch to Vibrate mode), and I try to call someone. Just as I hit dial, the phone places the call but also switches the phone to Vibrate mode. It does not switch the ringer mode when I hang up, it stays in Vibrate mode.
To further the example, if my phone is on Vibrate mode, and I try to call someone. As I hit the call button and the call is placed, the phone will change itself to Ring mode with the lowest volume.
I do not have any case on my phone and my dial button is no where near the volume buttons. Since I have noticed this problem, I've deliberately tried to ensure I hit the dial button without being anywhere near the volume buttons. So it isn't me accidentally hitting other buttons.
Is there a way to stop this? Why is my phone changing ringer mode when placing a call?
Any help would be appreciated!

So, I uninstalled it and you're right! It appears that fixed the issue! Thanks so much!
no problem glad to help and i heard of it a while back and i remembered so you might want to send AVG text support or the developer an email to say if they can fix the problem so you can install it again good luck happy flashing
