How do you trun on screen during a call? Once it times out and display shuts off. I needed to turn display on to turn on speaker phone or mute. When I hit end (pwr) button, the call hangs up.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

easy way is to just hit menu and you'll see the screen again
Mine usually comes back on when on a call if I lay the phone horizontal face-up. if that doesn't do it you can press the back key, menu key or tracball.
None of those work for mine. I am running Nightly #99 with stock kernel.
Try going into settings / call settings then scroll down to keep screen awake longer and check that I think that might help hope it does good luck

Hey, I'm having some technical problems with my TyTN/Kaiser. Most times I'm in a voice call I will have the phone against my cheek like all people do, but the problem is that when I move around slighty or whatever the end button is being pressed on the touch screen by my cheek.
This is so annoying and I've read through the manual and couldn't find anything to disable touch screen in a call, so now I come to you folk
Is there any way to lock touch screen only (not buttons) in a call?
A_Cs S2U2 has some of this functionality.
My Tilt allows me to do a quick-press of the power button while on a call. That turns off my screen, but still allows me to end a call with the "hard" end button.
you could use advance config/kaiser tweak to enable fast sleep when in call that turns the screen off while still keeping it unlocked so the buttons work after a few seconds..... otherwise press the power button quickly as soon as you have made the call/answered the phone

Cool, this sounds alright, but when you say turns the screen off but keeps it unlocked, does that mean the end button is still pressable on the screen?
I can't believe nobody has this problem.. happens to me almost every call.

When the screen goes off, either by time-out or quick press of the power button, the screen "buttons" are not enabled.
You can end the call with the red end button. Or, if you prefer... another quick press of the power button to "wake up" the screen, and you can use the soft buttons again.

No, I had it happen frequently in my first few weeks of ownership, but it's not happening of late. I don't know what I'm doing different, but it was a real pain.
Hi, please forgive me for asking such a dumb question. I imagine my problem is not that uncommon. By default, the phone turns off back light if I don't touch any key for 30 seconds (feels like shorter than that). Anyway, I dial in to check my voicemail. Due to the length of the message, the back light turns off. It looks like there is no key other than the power button can bring the screen back. Sometimes, I have to press the power button a couple of times before the screen comes back, then when I try to delete the message (by pressing 7) sometimes I don't even see the keypad any more. It's just a bit of hassle. Can you tell me how you would do it?
thanks very much!
I'm not sure if there's an option for the phone not to switch the backlight off and/or go to sleep while in a phone call.
If you want to control the duration before the phone switches off the backlight or goes to sleep, you will have to change the backlight or power settings ujnder Settings -> System.
didn't know when and how it was set at 10 sec backlight

Thanks! I went into Settings -> System -> backlight and realized that it was set to was set at 10 sec on battery. I don't know when it got changed. Reset it back to 30 sec. should be better now. Changed the power to turn off after 3 min, too.
Hello all,
When making a call the screen dims WAY too fast then turns of in 10 seconds. is there an option to leave it on all the time, till I decide to turn it off?
It's quite the pain in the A** when I need to enter numbers like when I recently had to activate my XP COA by phone..PHEWW what a nightmare.
The other problem I have is randomly I realize the volume for both are on off..
I dont know how this happens and if I'm to blame but sometimes it happens even if I dont use the phone to make calls I realize the off button is pressed..
Any way to remove the speaker button totally? I wouldn't mind doing it in the settings area..
anyone
can anyone help me?
backlight settings
hi m8, click>start>setting>system, then you should see backlight click this and it gives you the backlight settings if on battery power or external power, hope this helps

hey guys sometime when i get and incoming call my phone start acting up and i cant slide up to take the call, my screen wont respond and no hard keys to press if some one know how to fix this please let me know if not im giving this wp7 a 2nd software update a chace to get this right. ms should be a genieus when it comes to software not apple or google. you never know when a emergency call comes in and you could not get it, im so concern about this. i had enough with 6.5 now this. but the problem is that i love ms i keep coming back. ****tttt
if a soft reset doesn't fix it you could hard reset. Just make sure you make a list of installed apps to make sure you get them all back on there.
I hadn't heard of this happening before.
I had the same problem once. I just switched the display off and on again (while the phone was still ringing) and then I could take the call.

+1 this happens from time to time.
hit the POWER button to shut of screen, this just powers of the sound and display and does not efect the incoming call.
Press the POWER button to turn the screen back on where you still see the incoming call and the screen will now respond correctly allowing you to answer.
no need to rest or anything.

Is there any remedy to this issue???, i'm having the same thing
This seems a little strange to me - whenever I use my phone as a speakerphone or through my Bluetooth and the screen powers off, there is no easy way to turn on the display again without either ending the call (Power button) or going through the camera by holding the shutter button and then hitting the home key.
Does this happen to anybody else?

Try again without "Adapt to lighting conditions" in Display > Brightness. And when the screen go off in the middle of the call scroll the phone. If the screen show up keep it in that way. If not try disabilitate also Optimized Backlight. Restart the Phone. Sometime happen with Android.

Thanks for the suggestion, but no luck.
I found what the issue was - under Accessibility options, there is an option Power button ends call. That was enabled.
I don't remember enabling that option and I've never had the need to enter that menu.

Ok, but I don't understand why the screen do not show up anyway after call or even in the middle of the call. That option don't do that.
