My RN5P(IND),suffers from a problem that annoys me.
When I make calls or receive calls,the screen automatically shuts down and it wont turn back on again,even if you tap the screen, press the buttons present on the phone.You cant cut the call either.It happens 40% most of the time.Then after a moment only the screen lightens up.
What do I do and do others experience this?

May be it's due to a problem in Proximity sensor.

Hi,
I'm new Android user so sorry if my question sound stupid
for a short call the screen will be brighter when i move away my phone from my ear and i can tap on the end button on the screen, but the problem is when i make a long phone call say 30 minutes the screen is turned off (after in dim state for several minutes) and moving the phone away from my ear doesn't turn on the screen back, hence i can't press the end call.
is this the default nature of android phone?
of course i can press the power button to turn on the screen and then press the end call button on screen, but this is tedious and just annoying that i have to press power button and then end call button to end a call.
so how to turn on screen automatically when i want to end call after a long conversation?
Something is wrong with your setup.
As soon as you put the phone near your face the proximity sensor should turn the screen off (not dim, off) then when you move phone away again the screen lights up. The phone screen shouldn't go to sleep.
Check all your settings to make sure you haven't over-ridden the proximity sensor.
What ROM / Kernel / Radio are you using (if nor stock)?

I'm using the stock kernel as this is new phone i don't want to void the guarantee.
can you point me where i can check the settings for proximity sensor? the only setting that i done involving screen is only its brightness.
thank you
So my DHD seems to not be turning the screen off properly as I hold it against my ear, and for the third time in a week I've just hung up on someone as a result
Firstly, am I holding it wrong? Should it be touching my head?
And if that doesn't work, are there any alternatives (i.e force the screen on or off)?
press the power button to shut down screen display during calls.It happened to me too.
Ah why didn't I think of that?! thank you! That won't affect the call in any way though will it?
You may also try application: Proximity recalibrator.
It is usefull in case proximity sensor doesn't lock screen when you are talking.
Hi,
I love my HTC One X but one thing drives me insane. Once I've been on a call for a minute, the screen goes to sleep and I can't get in to any of my apps like Calendar etc that I need to check during a call. The only button that responds is the power button which ends the call!
Can you please let me know how to prevent sleep during a call?
I've just bought Tasker, so I'm hoping that I can do something with that, is that the best place to start?
Thanks,
JD
It shouldn't be doing that by default.
You can turn on/off the 'power button ends call' option in accessibility

I'm facing the same problem, other than the Power button terminating the call.
This is getting on to my nerves now!
Is there a fix to this?

Perfect, that fixed it, thanks!
How do I prevent the screen from going to sleep, while on a call?
If I am on a call and I get a call waiting tone, I look at my screen and it's blank. Similarly, like I said earlier, at the end of the call too, I can't end the call because the screen is again blank!
The Power key seems to wake it up, but it is annoying to keep pressing it all the time.
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.

What ROM are you on?
Im on the stock rom rooted.
S20 Ultra : Often when on phone call the screen turns on, resulting in ear/head pushing buttons on the screen.
Anyone else experiencing this annoying issue?
Thanks,

I had this on my Samsung Galaxy S10 plus.
It is a very nasty problem.
Unfortunately I didn't find how to fix it
These proximity sensors are really not very good. I had to teach myself to always press the power buttons while on a call just to have the screen protected from ear touches.
Well, the thing is that initially it DOES turn the screen off when calling / receiving a call, but i.e. a minute into the conversation in can turn on, creating problems. So turning the screen off with button would not help me here :-/ ....
No one else experiencing this??

Exactly the same as it was happening to me.
That is why I learnt to use the power button. Because once the screen lights up after sometime, it's already on lock screen and can't activate anything with your ear.
