Hey, everytime I am in a call, my ear taps the taskbar and it opens the notification window which covers my call screen. I have googled and searched this forum with no success.
Apart from TouchLockPro, was just curious as to if there is anything that addresses this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Do you have something (case?) blocking the proximity sensor? The screen should be turning off as soon as you put the phone to your ear.
Yes I do. I've just tested it out, that seems to be the problem. So is there any tweak to prevent this?
i know even with the screen turning off with the proxy censor i will find i am in the screen with the connections and battery info when i am done with a call... its kind of annoying and worrys me a bit i might accadently end the call when the screen is off.... also the flip over to make it a confrence phone is a 50/50 thing... this device is so glitchy
I randomly get this too, I think sometimes the sensor isn't used.. There are times I've noticed I can cover it up completely with my thumb and the screen doesn't go off, but other times it works just fine.

Tweak...some testing to see where the sensor is (somewhere along the top near the HTC logo) and an X-acto knife to the case?
same thing happens to me, most of the time somehow I turn on airplane mode and the call disconnects.. sigh
TouchLockPro has a feature which turns the screen off using the G-sensor, but it's not just for calls, if you have it horizontal it'll be on, and if vertical it suspends/screen turns off; this would be good if it was just for calls, especially for those that use a case.
I'm just starting to use TouchLockPro (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444215) and I have most of the locking features turned off - I just hit the power button if I want to lock it.
It does keep the screen locked during a call so I no longer hit the buttons. Plus - when it unlocks I'm right back, exactly, where I left off.
There's lots of options to tweak, I think there's something for just about everyone.
I LOVE unlocking with the zoom bar - first time I've used that thing on my phone

thanks! works like a charm now, is there any way to lock it if it is idle for like 30 secs or something without havin to hit the power button
There's a number of ways to lock it using the various sensors - you can try one of those and see what fits your habits / style best. You can also click on the BattClock icon to get the menu - the lock icon is right there. That's 2 steps though...

Since moving to Gingerbread I have had a consistent issue with my proximity sensor when placing and receiving calls.
When I answer/press send the screen immediately goes black. The only way to turn the screen back on is to press the power button to unlock the screen. The only way to turn off the screen is to lock the screen again.
This occurs with auto brightness on or off. With auto brightness on I can see the screen changing brightness levels.
Easy fix: go back to froyo
Actual fix: unknown?
does anyone know of a fix or have a similar issue?
Hey everyone, I have this annoying problem with Widgetlocker and was hoping you could help me. I have both lock and unlock sound enabled. However, for the lock sound it occurs when "screen is off" (either manual power lock or in call screen off). There lies the problem: whenever I'm in a call and the screen goes off I hear my lock sound (really retarded). Is there a way for me to have the lock sound ONLY when I press the power button?
In the stock TW dialer we are able to disable the proximity sensor as when in a call in dim light many times the screen will not turn on when moved away from the ear.
This prevents calls from being hung up until the system determines the call is over. Many times the power button will not turn it on either.
Does omnirom have this feature and I am missing it and if not is this something that might be on the development list?

In settings under accessibility you can select end call by power button
Hi,
I would like to change the notification bar quick settings panel shortcuts, basically reorder them. Because when in a call, sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't detect the ear properly and screen turns on. Then the phone goes into airplane mode because its located right at the top where your cheek touches the screen. I'm very annoyed with this. I have understood that the proximity thing has no solution. So how can I change position / remove airplane mode setting from there?
