Google is your friend. Had you chosen to type in 'tilt backlight phone call', you would have found your answer in the first item. If you're feeling truly lazy, a humorous link that will give you the google search results is here.
As for what you need to do afterwards, it's self explanatory
Screen Lock, Thread Lock...
JustGoogleIt was a great link.
Loved it, we should add it as a forum search option!

Hey, how do I keep screen light on, while in call?
You know... to dial extensions etc.
Thanks!
Try Kaiser Tweak (its stickied in the general kaiser forum). It has that & a bunch of other usefull tweaks, best of all its free...
ok, got it, installed, now... hehe, what to tweak to get that done?

As stated about about dialing extension and things. For instance when I go to pay a bill over the phone. I dial the number .. it asks me to input my account number .. Look at the screen and its black and I have to hit the power button to bring it back to life to input the number .. Then I have to do the same thing when inputing my credit card number and etc etc.
It just get a little annoying for those that input numbers over an automated system. From some people its not a problem and the powering off the screen really quick is nice ..
I belive the setting on Kaiser Tweak was Fast Sleep. You have the ability to change that and not effect the devices normal sleep setting.
There are two listed tweaks for preventing the Diamond from turning the screen off during a call. I've done them both, and nothing happens. Are these tweaks confirmed to work for all phones, or just on some? It says the "Sleep" one works on european ROM -- do all European phones have the same rom?
I'm having a simmilar problem... It seems that the screen turns off after a set period of time... I thought that the light sensor was supposed to only shut the screen off when you bring it up to your ear, light gets dull... I have the phone sitting in well lit room and done got near it yet the screen still turns off..?

I've read that if you remove the stylus while in a call, then the note program comes on automatically, but the screen will also stay on until the call is finished

yes, you are right and this is in my humble opinion the best solution. this way even if u touch with yr ear/cheek the screen no funny noises and no unwanted programs popping up not to mention that this way u have the choice and if you don't need the screen it stays black.
If you want to turn your screen back on during a call just simply press the round center button once and it will turn back on. no need for any hacks.
Thanks for the help
From what I have read, the phone screen should only turn off the screen when you bring it up to your ear/there is low light on the light sensor in the handsets ear speaker... My phone's screen shuts itself off after 3 seconds or so, doesnt matter where light is... If you just disable fastdormant (1 to 0), does the phone still shut itself off after x seconds or does it wait until there is a change in light?
Can anyone confirm/clarify the above???
Also is it possible to reactivate the display once the phone detects a sizeable change in brightness again? From reading the links posted, no one has found a solution for this one yet..?
The screen will not turn off as long as you continue to touch the center button during call. The default setting work fine with me until I need to get information during a call yesterday. The center button touch allow you to use other functions during phone call.
[EDIT] STRANGELY ENOUGH, AFTER ENTERING THE REGISTRY AND JUST LOOKING AT THE VALUE OF THE KEYS HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM BELOW...
[/EDIT]
My problem is that my phone won't go into the sleep mode when calling. Covering the phone doesn't help (I've tested the light sensor, and that still works)
For me this feature is a positive thing so I would like it to work again.
The registry entry for the EnableFastDormant is still on "1". The HTC Phone Skin is loaded (without that skin it doesn't work either).
When searching the forum I come across people who want their screen to stay on... I want the opposite to happen again. Anybody a suggestion?

Check this reg entry as well:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep - 1
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LightSensorPollingEnable - 1
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatteryTimeoutInCall - 5
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatterySuspendTimeoutInCall - 5
Also,
Start - Settings - System
Power
Advanced
Check the following:
Turnoff Backlight if device is not used for 30 Sec
Turn off Device if not used for 40 sec
All the best
Note: After changing Registry Entries.. (if you had to).. do a soft reset.

I know... However, it bothers me as it doesn't really show realiability. Why didn't it work in the first place!? I'm experienced enough to know that I didn't do anything to the registry.

Besides - it's WINDOWS - since when did Windows care about RELIABILITY.

Problem with 1.93 ROM
Hey,
I cant seem to get the screen to stay on during a phone call using Asia WWE 1.93 ROM....
I have got BattTimeoutIncall = 0
BattSuspendIncall = 0
Phone\Sleep = 0
EnableFastdormant = 0
but the screen still turns off if i leave the phone sitting on the desk under light exactly when the call time ticks over to 4 sec (0:03 to 0:04)...
Ideas anyone, is this an issue with v1.93 rom?
Thanks.
this works!
Does this still enable the light sensor???
Still want the light sensor to work - i.e. turn off the screen when i bring it up to my head...

i dont think it disables it, but you can enable it either way with diamond tweak.

It works, but when I enable the light sensor polling in reg it goes off after about 4 secs... This is with a very bright light and no movement of the phone (sitting on flat surface)...
the only on of thos I see in my reg is HKCU phone sleep
where the hell are the others?

This is actually the best option because it turns off the screen when you want to conserve battery life.
So I just press the Center button when I want to see the screen to use the keypad or speakerphone.
Also, I have disabled the phone shade (curtain) by doing this:
Code:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Phone/PhoneLockEnable = 0
[sticky!!!!] The "answer Only With Hw Buttons" option or similar solution...
...a lot to read... and a lot of solutions!
thank you guys!
Just an Idea... maybe its possible to set the Touchscreen sensitivity to VERY low everytime there is incoming Phone call. And then you cant accidentially press one of the onscreen buttons. However, i think registry entries only change after a softreset. MAybe there is some workaround?
this solution will affect the entire normal use of the diamond. :-(
anyone knows a cook?
it can't be so difficult.
I'm willing to pay the money saved in missed calls in one week. It could be a lot, for sure...
Agreed! it would be a great feature to have

Well actually i meant it a different way. Imagine.. There is an incoming Call... This call is recognized, and the touch sensitivity is set to very low. After the call is done, or the call is taken, the sensitivity is restored..
yep... but i suggest this like a second try....
the easiest way is to create a new phone skin.
the best is a "only hw buttons" option
i can't believe to the drink beer app... useless but true... and nothing about this bug... it's incredible.
I would be satisfied to have ALL the hardware keys to be locked during incoming calls and the screen locked and need to unlock the screen with ie a slide before be able to answer... As the hardware buttons also is easy to press when it's in the pocket when your sitting etc.
diamondino said:
I think we're half a million to damn this bug.
WE ALL NEED to lock the screen buttons.
WE ARE BORED of losing calls or answer accidentally taking out the diamond from our pockets.
WE NEED A SOLUTION.
WE DON'T WANT S2U2 AS A WORKAROUND.
HELP US.
AND YOU'LL BE REWARDED.

I don't get it. My on/off button is set to lock all other buttons when the device is off, apparently meaning the display. At calls the display is off after a few seconds and I have two choices to bring it back - push the on/off or remove the stylo causing notes to launch. Hence the only insident where I can see a problem is when the display is trickered to go on (alarm or incoming call) and it's way down the bag you may push something. Here I suspect the solution is to have it in a pouch. Anyway, I have seen many yields about this so i'll surely be victimised one day as well.
Its a really challenging app to make.
Think about it. How can u lock the keys yet mantain the ability to answer anytime with one button.
Tough call
maybe using the light sensor ... in the pouch screen off- out the pouch screen on

No, touching the screen will not bring the screen ON, the only thing that will bring the screen ON is pressing a hard key.
It's an excellent idea to make the light sensor feel if it's in the dark, and if so shut down the screen, the only problem is that nobody knows how to reliably do this for all ROMs (even official).
Take a look here guys... already lots of posts on this

1 a new phone skin without any buttons is the easiest solution i guess
2 changing the sensibility pressure works only on soft reset
3 light sensor... nice, but i don't think it's the best way to do this
isn't a predefined "lock screen" function on the diamond?
i'm a developer but i dunno nothing about pda application... i think it's weird if no one thought to a simple "block screen" function.

Hello, is there away to disable these annoying thing when making calls?
my diamond vibrate once a call is connected and the screen goes off!
i want to disable the vibration and want the screen remain on for the first 30 seconds and then dim to the lowest brightness, but not turn off completely. Cause sometimes i want to turn off the loudspeaker.

Does the reg tweak for this actually stop the vibration as well as preventing the screen going to sleep....keep meaning to do this...
@ronka
just hunt for those tweaking tools somewhere in the sticky threads. these apps mostly provide the settings you are looking for.

I Have gone straight from the Orbit2 to the Diamond2 however I seem to have a small problem with the device lock that i used to have on the front screen as it only works if i disable the touchflo3d homepage that i kind of like.
Anyone have any ideas/suggestions/3rd party screen locks that are practical?
PS. had the phone 2 days and not really had time to read manual thoroughly etc so if there is a really simple response to this then I apologize
try holding the end call button for a few seconds
Thanks. Am guessing that was in the manual but must have missed it in skim reading it.
not sure mate i don't read the manuals either i just asked the same question on the TD1 haha
I was also very disappointed by missing LOCK option - thanks, maybe next time, i could at least download that manual from HTC

TouchLockPro works on the Diamond2, it unlocks by light sensor and taking stylus out.
you can set long press of the end call button to lock screen "settings/personal/buttons/end key tab.
Anyway to set the TD2 to switch on by pressing any of the 4 bottons? Now mine is only able to be switched on by pressing the on/off button.
This lock the device automatical everytime when the backlight goes off.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight
AutoDeviceLockEnable from 0 to 1
After change no softreset is needed.
No way to activate the screen with the call/start/arrow/end call button?
you can use smart lock, it is free and very good.
How does one change the lock time?
I've set it but can't now access the time setting - I've read the manual and still no clue.
