I've got this issue and its driving my users nuts.
When your in a call, you cannot press the start key, or tap the start menu with the pen, you can minimise the call screen if you turn the device off and on in call, but you cant access the start menu. Also, once you've ended the call, you have to turn the device on and off a couple of times before you can use the start menu.
All devices are using the vanilla HTC ROM.
Any ideas how to fix it?

it doesn't help you, i suppose - but for reference this works fine on the TyTn II with vodafone UK ROM

Well I've had my Tilt for a week now and I have been frustrated completely with the Phone App.
First of all, when I am calling a tone prompted location where you have to press the keys to get somewhere (611, corporate voicemail, etc), some of the time the phone will go into "hold" when i press the keys.
Secondly, after a call that i have pressed the keys for tone operation, the phone app will not completely close. the screen will stay half dim and the start bar and task panes are locked out. i can't access any of the icons at the top of the screen. the only button available is the task manager which shows no programs running.
i can pretty much replicate the 2nd problem consistently. does anyone else have this problem? Please try to call into a company say even 611, go through all the tone prompts and see if the phone app closes appropriately afterwards. make sure you are on the phone long enough for the screen to automatically dim.
the only way for me to get past this is to softboot so i can get access to the start menu again. but i'd rather not have to softboot after every phone call =T
Thanks!
Same problem here, any help would be great.

disable the lock thing where you have to enter a pin - i think its a bug in the rom
Same problem - but if press the on/off button for the screen twice I do have again access to all icons. Not nice but ....
yeah i was messing around with the phone last night and realized that it has to do with phone lock and figured out if you press the power button to put it to sleep and press it again to wake it up, everything is normal again. it was just a fluke how i found out but i'm glad to know that this isn't only my problem. i was about to do another hard reset on the phone.
i called ATT techsupport and they told me it might be the simcard. can other Tilt owners chime in here. is this a ROM problem or could it be related to a faulty sim?

Hello, sometimes after i finish a call, or when i use audio manager when i finish and hit the x close button, i go back to the today screen, but nothing recognizes my touch after that...but i noticed that instead of it saying 'start' at the top of the list, it would say call or audio manager or whatever program i was using before it 'froze'.
The only way to stop that and bring it back to normal was to press the power button and then press it again (not turn off the phone, but put it in the 'standy' ish state)
Anyone know why this is happening and if there is a patch/fix for this?
Thank you!
I have a customer with 12 x V1615 (Vodafones Branded Kaiser) all experiencing the same problem.
I should be getting my hands on a device on monday to test some stuff out on.
Mine did it a few times (Orange Tytn 2) but seems to have fixed itself now...
Can anyone tell me of a fix that keeps the screen from turning off during a call? I assume this occurs on the Diamond and the Pro. I am using a Pro, but got no answer on the Rafael forum. Swear on my Momma's (your jargon here) that I searched for the answer..yes I'm a noob
try this
8. Prevent screen switching off during phone call --> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD ormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 (Note: does not work on all ROMs)
AND (tested and works on EU ROMs thanks to Rod65)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0
prolly wil do the trick...
but why would one want to keep the screen on during a a call???
you have an extra eye in youre ears?
or do you like to press randum buttons like "hang up" and such??
thats wat happend when i activated my screen during calls... now ive got it back 2 normal, and cant say i disagree with the initial design to shut it of during call...
besides that you can get it back on during a call with a simple press of the powerbutton
The reason why - Because when I get a call and I need to activate loud speaker / mute the call ... I have to do the following:
Push the power button, click unlock, push unlock again, then push "phone", and then make the adjustment.
At which point the screen goes off again!
How difficult would it have been for HTC to have just dim/disable touch on the screen, until you push a key to enable them??
screen on in call is needed when
on a automated service...i.e telephone banking
try and swap with this one

You can also get the screen back on by pressing the 'Action' button - centre D-Pad... that's the way I do it. I just can't understand why anyone would want the screen on during a call?

voice mail pass entry, tele banking, 3 way calling, video calls, looking up information to give to caller, speakerphone, directions, hold and mute just to name a few reasons.

Hi,
I also would like to fix this problem, how do you get into change Hkey settings?? Or is there a more user friendly way of doing this??
Thnx....
u will need a registry editer of some sort - i use regedit which is part of the 2.8 Dutty Rom
Dear PDA experts, please help me!!
since a couple of days I am having a VERY annoying problem with my HTC Diamond. This occurs when I am using the original hands-free. It looks like the cable is losing contact or making an incorrect contact...
So, when using the hands-free, the phone starts dialing the last dialed number by itself. When I am listening to music, the music stops and I am hearing how the phone is dialing. This usually happens, when I make the move to put my phone in my pocket. Also, when I speak with someone, the phone automatically puts him on hold, which is even more annoying for the other party! The problem persists even when I switch off the phone module, it still tries dialing!
I had tried many times to get rid of the voice dialer (sddialer.exe), but I cannot delete or rename the file even when I connect the Diamond to a PC. Finally I have disabled it from the registry and it still starts dialing when I make the move to stick it into my pocket!
And I dont have the impression, that the cable is somehow defective, as when I am listening to music, it does not break up. And it always does, when there is a problem with the cable, unfortunately I have a lot of experience with defective hand-frees. Please please help me!! It is not worthy to buy a new handsfree for such an old phone... Is there a way to disable all the buttons of the hands-free, it is the last possible solution I can think of...?
Use the lock screens
My Diamond did that too.
There are several lock screen capabilities that you can enable under settings. More important if you added a custom Rom they usually have a few different options.
With the custom Rom I was running, I could make a call and after pushing the power button, it would lock the phone when on the line with someone. This would happen if you hit any button after the power button was pressed (which usually turns off the screen).
Hope that helps.
Hi there,
Whenever there is a call, my phone screen will go blank and unless the caller hangs up, I cannot end the call from my end because the screen does not appear. I have to use the power button to make it come out of the dialer app. I have tried using factory reset but that did not work out. Could anyone take the pains to tell me how to resolve this issue?
