Screen off during phone call tweaks

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..?

give it a shot

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.

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

Kaiser Touch Screen not responding.

Hey guys I have flashed my Kaiser with a clean rom last night, everything went awesome, phoned work excellent just the way I wanted, and my hands were wet as the phone rang and now all of a sudden my Touch Screen doesnt work, nothing seems to be wrong with the phone itself, everything is still displayed on the screen.
Now I might need to send it back for repairs, but I reset to factory defaults couple min ago, and it says "Tap screen to begin" and I can't get any further?
Active sync or nothing works in that stage, how is it possible that I can flash my kaiser back to factory defaults if this is the case?
Isnt there a way of skipping that "Tap screen to begin" message?
Thanks a lot, any help is appreciated.

Yo thanks man,
I have flashed my phone back to HTC's rom, touch screen still doesn't work, I can use the phone now again, I have skipped that process where it asks you to align the screen to begin with a program called Code Factory's Remote screen alignment (RSA)
Now I'm in Bahrain (middle east) at the moment, I bought the phone in South-Africa where I used to live, So I'm gonna have to use the phone for a while until I can send it in for repairs.
So just have one more problem, I can't seem to change the Main volume in the taskbar without using the touch screen, Is there any other way of changing the volume, coz I cant hear my phone when it rings at times.
Shot guys,

to adjust the volume, move the trackwheel up or down during a call, so you're gonna have to call someone.
as for vibrating, you've got me there

Man,that must be a pain that touch screen doesn't working.
Try googling MyMobiler, install on your PC, connect your PDA and it will autoinstall itself to your PDA too.
Run MyMobiler on the PC. Next thing you know you can control your PDA without even touching it at all ;-)
Cheers!

yo guys, just wanna let u guys know, the problem sorted itself out, in the future if you guys experience the problem, put ur phone close to a TUBE T.V, and let the static fix it for u, I was busy trying to get this OLD t.v sorted out in the Hotel where we are living in Bahrain, and I couldn't see at the back, and I used my phone as a flash light to see what's going on lol, and then my Touch screen started working again.........anyone care to explain this..?
Phone is in complete working order again, happy flashing for me once again hehe.

Man, I had the same problem and I was quite desperate. I was going to replace my Vodafone 1615 (the brandized version of Tytn II) when I found your post.
I put the phone near a CRT Monitor and then magically the touch-screen was working again!
Thank you to disclose your experience.

Can anyone explain why this might work?

I had the same problems. Touched yesterday mine htc kaiser with wet fingers and the touch screen did not respond. I thought that is the same problem with humidity that I had in Amazonia. That time it got solved by heating the phone with notebook. Pillow - kaiser - notebook for few hours :-D
But this time heating did not work... With doubt I approached old CRT tv and static energy from it SOLVED mine problem too. I am happy that I did not throw it away after buying LCD one. This is the time when new technology needs some old school energy :-D

Did you have the phone off or on , did you touch it to the screen or side of tv, and how long did you hold the phone there, this would be awesome if it works, I've been freaking out the last couple of days.

me too! i brushed my phone around the tv for 30 seconds.. no luck...

Static can kill touch screens
I killed my old WM2003 device by sliding down a plastic slide with my kids at the park.

Hi folks!
I had the same problem: change my at&t tilt rom/radio/spl to htc.
result: touch screen does not working!
The only way that i found is undo changes:
1º - installing and using: Remote screen Alignment to skip the first screen calibration. Just power on Tilt and wait until activesync are connected, so, run "remote screen alignment" and click skip, if the phone does not restart, do a soft reset.
2º - In the next power on, use activesync to copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your phone.
3º - use the buttons to navigate and execute JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe on the phone. (to execute JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe file use the ENTER key of the sliding keyboard).
4º- now just replace RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_.exe (OEM ROM i think)/ bootloader spl1.93.0/1.56 (maybe the screen problem occurs due the wrong spl/rom combination or newer spl like 3.28/3.29 ).
After these steps my AT&T Tilt touch screen is back to work!
Now i'm ready to try others roms again !!
PS: Sorry for poor english, if anybody don't understand anything just ask!

thank you so much for taking the time to post your solution! My kaiser was dead after it got soaked in vinegair..keys were sticky, device wouldnt charge or even turn on..
what i did is put the kaiser in a bowl of water and let it rest for a few hours. Then i took it out and put it in a bowl of uncooked rice (rice sucks up water!) and let it rest overnight. My kaiser came out great with everything working fine except....the touchscreen wouldnt respond. I flashed several roms but all to no avail.
I then followed your instructions and miraculously this strange at&t rom brought my touchscreen back to life!
So thanks again

Screen Off in Calls ?

I am wonering if there's anything wrong on my TD2 ..
after i dialed a call or answering ...
my screen never turn off itself...
is this normal ?
or my light sensor is not working ?
any apps that I can test it b4 I send it back to service ?

use search
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512212&highlight=screen

thanks my friend I actually did search.. but I guess I went with the wrong keywords about light sensor... and Screen off... instead of "Sleep"
again.. thanks very much

**BUT** My problem is the screen never turns off... during calls...
is that normal...?
or I have to install or tweak it myself ??
I read that post and installed that app... it just didn't work for me...
also... are there are app. that can let me use to "TEST" if my light sensor is working right ?

Yes thats normal. Doesn't work with the lightsensor but with the gsensor. Hold your Topaz flat the screen stays on. Hold him up against your ear the screen goes off. Turn it upside down en speakerphone comes too life. I just love it ! But it has nothing to do with the lightsensor
(im sorry for my very very bad english)

OK... I will try it again.. thanks for the more detailed informations you just provided ^^

tried the one you pointed to - actually it sometimes works - sometimes not - I don't like such behavior. I would like to have full sleep like in diamond 1 - when you close the light sensor during the call the screen gets blank and it comes out only if you a) press power button b) take out stylus. The variant that is from your link activate screen when you say make volume higher

Works fine for me ! I call 50 times a day, works every time ! Did u callibrate the g sensor ? Maybe that works

thanks.
now it's better.
by the way - did you enable/disable some options inside this tool config?

only ignore the lightsensor

It works perfectly but I don't need it since the new Manila, during the call, interposes a panel that disables the buttons. So I think is just to save the battery. Uninstalled!

Does not work for me.
When holding the Topaz at the ear, the display is always on (and will go to Standby then after 2 min - the is the "normal" value in my preferences).
Tried to change use of lightsensor or "fast/quick standby" with HDTweak - no success .

[Q] Problem with screen and keyboard

Hello ,
I am having a problem with my Sony Ericsson X1 , my screen the last days is black and i need to press many times the turn off button so i can turn on / off the backlight and work , but today its not working anymore this trick .... ! i took the battery off i put it after a bit time and still the same . Also i had a problem with my keyboard and screen when i put the keyboard down my screen wasnt going down also and was stacking in the normal way like having it close... !
Any1 could give me a hand , maybe any1 knows how much the screen problem will cost?
Thanks a lot.

It's a problem where the ribbon cable that connects the phone (in the keyboard bit) to the screen is worn and then it starts to have problems with the screen. In the end, for me at least, the screen wouldn't turn on at all. I just sent it to sony for a fix, and they said it was free.
That's what your problem sounds like considering the keyboard seems to be related to the screen

Lock screen advice

Hi emstemmed XDA team..
Here is a problem I need an answer too as it's driving me nuts..
Just spent half a day on it and still haven't found an answer..
Problem: I have Truephone installed as my default call option..
When phone is in Lock screen mode..I get a call..
Call come in.. but..
Samsung (or android) is deciding that it needs to tell me that Truephone is in full screen mode..and it rattles on about the navigational buttons ..
The problem with this is that as it is the lock screen it's like a pop up. And won't let me answer a call..
I swipe it away but as it's persistent it will leave me at log in screen..which by this time I have lost call.. d
Do you think I can find where to time this dam thing off .
Not so far I have not found it in notifications .
True phone has all the correct permissions .
Notifications turn off or in has no effect on it .
I have got a work around via a sound button and or using the headphones to answer a call. But dam..do you think..?
New phone with android 10..
Hope that makes sense .
In a nut shell..it's a system pop up that won't go away and its dam hard to find where to turn it off .

go to setting and search "appear on top", open "appear on top" and allow the truephone caller to appear on top. and disable default phone app to appear on top.

Will be interesting to see if any of the tweaks worked..
Won't be able to test until tomorrow as got a Bud coking in and I can use his phone to call me a few times and test it .
I had that setting in place already..
So I am wondering if maybe goodlock might be the one..or always on..
I have pretty much turned everything off now and will slowly add back in once I know it's gone .
But it's been a hard one to find .
A few screen shots of what I have got at moment..

Ok. finally..a fix..
What it was is a first time setup Android notification that needs 3 swipes to get rid of..
It is a notification that says the on screens buttons are going to be hidden because the app (Truephone ) is working in full screen mode.
Then it gives up an arrow to swipe from bottom..
Sounds good .but..
Swipe up to get anything and that first screen will jump to unlock code ... And call drops.
So you just have to play with someone calling you and or another phone next to you and call yourself a few times..
Work your way through 3 screens of notifications from android..
Then it stops.
What stupid engineer thought it was fine to make someone go through 3 swipes before it stops. Idiot. ..
Hope this saves someone a week of trying all other fixes..as nothing in Google on it.
Thanks to XDA..!!!
