Keep screen on while on-call? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway I can get my Hero screen to stay on while I'm on a call instead of turning off after 30 seconds? My Hero is rooted and I'm running Zen MyTouch Hero port.
Thanks

settings>sound and display>screen timeout

Well doesn't that keep the screen on at all times? I just want the screen to stay on during phone calls, not all the time.

No, you can adjust how long it stays on up to 30 minutes. I don't know of any way to adjust for keeping screen on only for calls....

The only way I know to do it is with the Screebl app but I stopped using it when I noticed in Spare Parts that it was on 98% of the time

Auto Brightness Issue

About two weeks ago I turned on my Auto Brightness. Last week the screen just started going dim randomly. To be clear, its so dim I can't see anything unless its at a particular angle. Also (depending on how bright the screen was prior to going dim) if I apply pressure to the sides of my phone, just above the Menu and the red End button, the screen will become bright again. Since then I have turned off Auto Rightness and performed a hard reset yet the problem still occurs. Can someone please help me?
It hasn't been dropped, or been subjected to moisture of any kind. I've only had it for about two months. It was a replacement from Asurion Insurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Auto brightness on our phones hasn't really been all that great, I've had random dimming or it'll go super bright in a dark room. mostly the issue is that auto brightness on phones is not all that great, they don't monitor the brightness of your surrounding but rather your face and that's where the problem lies.
My Auto Brightness isn't enabled. Yet the screen still goes super dim.

Make sure it isn't on, because it shouldn't happen if you have it set to a custom level
Haha damn, don't like the sound of that. Thanks for the help!

Buttons backlight on GB

Hi,
I find the fact that the buttons under the screen keep lit until you turn the screen off annoying. I often use the tab in the dark and even if you cover them up some of their light "contaminates" the bottom area of the screen, especially with dark images.
Is there any known way to get them working back as they did on Froyo? Maybe if someone could extract the old Froyo backlight driver I could try it on my tab...

I think its a great feature, especially for using in the dark as I often pressed wrong button accidentally. However I do think there should be some sort of setting to adjust when its on all the time and when its not etc.
Try an app called blinker I think from the market.

[Q] It took around 2 seconds before screen awake

It took around 2 seconds before LG P970 screen awake, not sure whether this is phone issue or settings issue?
I use other phone, it only took 1 second to wake.
Any advice?

As sorry as i am, but i cant help you, this seems to be an issue sometimes... what software are you using? Stock or modified?

Try looking into Display Settings and check how long it will stay before the screen dim

I set it to 30 seconds always. Does that have anything to do with my problem?

Yes, after 30 secs your screen would go dim and eventually shut off.... Increase it to 1 or 2 mins.....

Are you using some kinda battery saver....? Also brightness is set to zero when your phone is running less on battery.

I think its some kinda flashing error. Try reflashing firmware meant for your phone model no. but first go to recovery and wipe data and cache. After flashing also wipe data and cache. I guess it would be good. But if that also doesn't help then it would be a bug on the firmware. Try changing the firmware to a latest one...
