Ok well i don't know exactly what to call this but i was hoping that there was an app out their that is like the iphone so that when i answer a call it shows me the normal end call and what not but when i put my face against the speaker (or more so the light sensor) that the screen would lock. I think that this would a great app because so many people end calls with their cheek that it is a bit annoying. but any way thanks for any help in advanced.

^^^^Try that, works a treat
thank you im downloading now =]
Ok well this works for the time being but now i was thinking someone could make an app that would turn off the screen when the light value gets below a certain point. (i would try but unfortunately i only know a little c++ and vb) so any one with the expertise if you could make it i would be highly appreciative. Thank you.

Hello Everyone,
I've got a very annoying problem with my Diamond. When I'm calling with someone, the screen won't go off. Because of that my ear often touches the end-call button. I already installed Afvanced Config and it says the ''Light sensor to turn screen off'' function is on.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Bart
that's real funny! the forum is full with ppl crying and cursing because they can not STOP the screen going off.
advanced configuration, tweaks and at least three cabs are floating around...you just get it and complaining about...
Hehe yeah, well, maybe we can trade phones? Because in my opninion it's very annoying. Does anyone have a solution? Do I have to change something in the registry?
Does anyone know the answer?

I've just tried it and it really works fine. Try this link:

Bump.
Same problem here with my Sprint Diamond. Screen wont go off on it's own during a call. I'm actually more concerned with battery life than bumping buttons on the screen.
Do a search for nosleep.cab
Is there an app that can automatically turn on the speakerphone when the phone is placed face down? I think this would be a pretty cool addition. Any thoughts?
Gyrator can detect when you are using the phone and turn it face down and run a keypress for you. No idea if that could be used to turn on the speakerphone though.
Neat idea until your laying on your bed talking to your gf when your wife walks in!!!
[Note]Not that I would ever do that[/Note]
Would be a neat feature though, as long as you could disable it.

Im not married, so no worries there! I just thought it would be convenient if I had to put the phone down for something then it would automatically switch to speaker.

Ok, if you like the TD2's speakerphone on flip stunt, then here's a cool tip for you...
Using Gyrator:
- Add a new "Rotation" event.
- Set application to Phone on the "Application" tab.
- On the "Orientation" tab check on "Portrait", "Face-down", and "Face-up".
- On the "Actions" tab check on "Simulate Keypress".
- Goto "Advanced" tab and select key "F16,127" which triggers the windows-native "Speakerphone Toggle event".
Done.
Now, starting NOT on speakerphone, whenever you put your phone on a level surface --facing up or down-- during a call, the speakerphone will toggle ON -> Moreover, if you pick it up it should toggle OFF. Good enough?
Cheers
P.S. You can also do the same for a "Stylus Out" event to fire when "Phone" application is focused, thereby simultaneously toggling on the speakerphone and starting up a new Note (default behaviour) whenever you take the stylus out during a call. Aren't we the lazziest lot..

here ya go.. I read this in the diamond forum the other day
Fascinating stuff. All of this customization is one of the things keeping the Fuze in my pocket still. Once in a while the bulk and weight drag me down, then I fall back in love the the ability to tinker the thing to exactly how I like it.
Directly related to this. I'd be curious to know how well the speakerphone works on a technical level when face down. I believe the speakerphone microphone is still on the front of the Fuze which I assume will negatively affect the overall performance.
I've tried this but I cant get it to work on a call out. Maybe I just put it in wrong. Let me know if you guys were able to get it to work.

I thought the microphone was at the bottom side ofthe phone. just above the USB port? Am I wrong? Thats what it looks like on my fuze.... otherwise I have no idea what that little hole is!

Yes, that is where the microphone is at. I usually turn my phone face down anyway while on speakerphone since the speaker is on the back and makes it easier to hear.

I can't get this to work...any ideas?
I was certain this feature was included out of the box and I had just lost it when I flashed new ROMs.
My Touch Incall Screen Tweak can perform this function - just search for it on here - its normally on the first page of this sub-forum. (not in a position to find the link, sorry).
Cheers,
Steve

Mate, stop reading outdated stuff! Find & use "Touch-InCall-Screen-Tweak" program, it is SUPER cool; its like magic...auto speakerphone whenever the device is not on your ear, very customizable too.

Hello, I was doing some thinking after using Android on the kaiser. What about having the backlight fade out while not in use and fade in when touched, much like Android or any of the newer HTC's?
If it worked in Android already then it should be somewhat easy to do in WM if it can be controlled.
Basically the backlight would dim from the user set amount to something close to being totally off, but not actually off. then when used it would quickly and smoothly fade back to the users setting.
Though i'm not a developer (skinner really) anyone want to try to do it? And anyone interested in something like this?
I think this would be great for the Kaiser and would welcome this feature...
Yes please fix this stupid backlight issue on our Kaiser. I would like to see the above fix worked out.
I think this would be a excellent addition to the tilt!
Anyone know if there is a method to accomplish this?
i like the sound of it
Me too! If it can happen in anroid, I am sure it can happen in WM as well! Maybe some software guru can help us out...

I believe that those newer models have additional components that make this happen. (PROXIMITY SENSOR I THINK). and since we dont have it, the only possible way would be to have the phone dim really low, but still be active(not standby), and your phone would basically never be allowed to go into standby(battery killer).
thats what i think thou, nothing official.
thats weird,i watched my tilt and it dimmed like my g1 did ,just not as dark,and if i wait longer it will shut off the screen ,like the g1.but when the screen shuts off on the g1 the phone gets locked and you have to press a button then menu to unlock it or slide it open,on the tilt i just press the power button and the screen comes on or sliding it open.
Hi guys! All new to this site. I just got a z3c and everything is really great, but for 2 things:
The screen response is so poor, that if it can't be fixed, I'm returning it. Deal breaker.
Whenever I tap something, the screen responses in about 1 second. That is too long. Way too long.
Any of you tried the "Don't tap the white tile" app? (it's a game, where you have to be fast on your fingers) If you have (or you think, that your phone is NOT slow, please give it a go)
The swiping seems to be ok, it's the tapping that's delayed!
I'm hoping that it's just my phone and it can be replaced, 'cause otherwise I will have no choice, but to find another one.
Also is it not possible for me, to decide wether or not an app can have acces to internet? On iPhones you can manually dissable every app from using the internet, both wifi and regular. This can also prove to be a deal breaker for me.
I hope you can help me to find out if I should keep this, apart from that stuff, really wonderful phone or if I have to go back to iPhone, which I don't want to actually.
Regards Kokinos, Denmark
"Whenever I tap something, the screen responses in about 1 second." - that is definitely not normal. I am playing Wordz and screen response is instant.
There are many apps to control permission (e.g. Internet) for individual apps, but it requires root - APP OPS is the best. But you might try this, which works without root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netspark.firewall&hl=en or this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.permissionmanager&hl=en

Thanks a lot, Dave! I'm so pleased to hear that, I will take it to the store and ask for a replacement then
-funny thing is, if I tap really hard, as in so hard the pixels round my finger turn black and I'm holding on to the phone with the other hand so tight, that it's on the verge of breaking, it IS possible to get the phone to react a, almost, once.
But swipe seems to work alright. I can't understand that. I actually thougt it was a software flaw and not a hardware one. But maybe I'm wrong.
I'll read into your links. My boyfriend might be able to understand a little more of it, so he'll help me
Nobody, that have noticed a delay on tapping, but not swiping?
Anybody I can convince to try the "Don't tap the white tile" game? It's free. I can play it fine on a iPhone, but on my Z3c the screen doesn't react fast enough. Unless I tap so hard, the pixels around my finger turn black and that can't be healthy for the phone.
It's not, that this game is important, it's just, that it shows very accurate, wether your sceen has delay or not.
That white tile game is the piano kind of game from Cheetah game studios? In case I just tried it and no issues with the screen response while tapping. It's more likely that you have a faulty device :/

Thanks for your not so helpfull comment. I would certainly NOT have pressed that hard, if it weren't for the fact, that I either would return it or have a replacement. Luckily I'm located in Denmark. We have excellent consumer rights. Otherwise I would be stupid to have done so.
For the life of me I cannot use my N6 no-handed, even for just a moment. The 5-10 seconds I need to hold my phone up between my shoulder and my face to free both hands.......it never fails that I cause an issue with a live phone call. Obviously the larger screen (larger touch-sensitive area) and the screen being on for some reason during the call.......I always either put the phone call on hold, or even put the current call on hold and manage to dial one of my starred contacts. It is driving me up the damn wall. I am not a huge fan of the L phone interface (the starred favorites especially), I much prefer the KK layout.
Anyone else having as hard of a time as me? I'm wondering if the screen being off during the call would cure this. I guess I could manually cut it off when going to no-hands.......but figured it should do it on its own. Anyone care to either give me some suggestions, or even punch me for my ignorance and tell me what I am doing wrong?
Love everything about the phone, and also loving LiquidSmooth.......just hoping the development gets into high gear soon.
The screen is suppose to be off during calls, that's what the proximity sensor is for. Are you sure you are not hitting the power button while in call, i find it to be sensitive??If its not turning itself off when you put it up to your face, flash back to full stock. Still not working, then its probably a hardware issue???

I forgot to reply I had this issue while stock as well. I wasn't looking to 'fix' this issue with a different ROM either, I just like the capabilities and development done in the ROM's themselves. Can't say I didn't hope something would change though.....
I only experience this with my left hand, LOL. Right handed, no issues with the screen turning off.
