Hey guys, really appreciate the help, in advance, seriously.
Well, I'll get right to it, if I'm in a middle of a call, mid-conversation, as you'd say I just can't open up the phone..
What i mean is, when I start the call the screen goes black, as usual, since its next to my ear, and if I want to check something
in the middle of the conversation (for example a number I wrote down) - I press the power button to "awaken" the phone but the screen
stays black. Only when the other person hangs up can I go back to doing whatever I did...
Any fix to this?

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.

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
Hi does anyone know how to make it so the screen turns on automatically when an incoming call comes? Right now, I have my phone on vibrate so I know an incoming call is coming, but I have to press the power button to see the screen and swipe to answer the call. Is there a way so the screen can come on automatically?
Also, is there a way to keep the screen black during the call, unless I press the power button? RIght now, when I'm talking to someone on speaker phone, the screen stays on or comes back on if I move the phone close to my face. Any suggestions are welcome.
Sounds like you have a problem with your proximity sensor...

Do you know how to fix that? I would like the screen to come on as soon as a call comes. Typically I have to wait for at least 2-3 rings.

Hello brother! i have the same problem. its actually an issue of your proximity sensor. its common with this phone.
there is not permanent fix for this ( other then disassembling the phone and correctly attaching the proximity sensor to the glass).
what i do is i press from the front cam side but not covering the sensor. it gives a display. this is a temporary fix.
one more thing. take off your back cover. and press the sensor area with your fingers. apply pressure but not enough to damage the touch. i did this two days ago and seems like it is fixed for me.
hope this help you.
Hi . here is my problem. When I'm on a call (does not matter whether I receive or make call), my screen turns off when I have it near my ear. That is fine and I understand it.
However when I take phone away from my ear and would like to end the call, the screen does not turn on. There is no way to turn it on from my end. No button helps. As a results, I cannot end call (or do anything else) unless the other party ends call.
The only help here is to hold power button long enough so the phone restarts.
if the other party ends call, my phone works fine.
Can anybody help me to solve this?
Thank you for any advice
I had a similar problem when I replaced my screen. I followed this and it has been working fine ever since.
Hope it works for you!
EDIT : [DELETE]
Sorry, same thing has been linked.
calibrated, will check after some use. Thank you guys
it works
