keep phone app from turning off? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A lot of times when I talk on the phone, I want to turn around and immediately make another call, especially after listening to voice mail. But when I hang up the phone, it immediately shuts down the phone app and goes to the home screen. Is there any way to keep the phone app open after I hang up?

Nope

Sorry mate, but there is nothing that works like that out there, i guess this is simply because your phone is fast enough where if you hit the phone icon it'll open up the dialer app almost instantaneously. It's just not a process that stays in your RAM because it's so quick to load, it would be a waste of RAM, sorry man!

Most phone apps have a setting like "Exit to home" which you can set to stay within the dialer. Which apparently are you using?

I'm pretty sure when I originally dialed the call, it takes me back to the dialer

On the stock rom? Try flashing a rom with a samsung build like cognition or fasty, that might work

Open the phone app, press the menu button, go into settings and disable exit to home screen

There is no settings icon under the menu button. The only options are: speed dial settings, send message, add 3 sec pause, and add wait. Nothing about exiting to home screen. I am using the stock dialer on stock 2.3 rom.

Flash to latest aokp ics build and the dialer has this feature

Couple of problems

I have a couple of anoying problems with the diamond. Its my first smart phone and there are som things I think the SonyEricsson handle better
First, whats up with the deal that Phone mode dissapears when you talk? When I´m calling some kind of support and need to press numbers thru the menu the phone locks after just about 5 secs and I have to go in to phone and keypad again, very anoying. Is their a way to keep in i phone mode to easy access to the keypad and ex speaker mode?
Second, the phone doesnt vibrate when it rings. When I choose vibrate-mode in the quick list it goes quite and vibrating, great for meetings. But I still want the phone to vibrate if I´m in a club or something
Third, Is there any way to shut down the function of the keypad appears automatically? When I go in the phone and wants to call I may have the number in the quick list but then I have to get the keypad away to see it. Isnt there a way to get it to appear only when I actually press the keypad button?
That was the first three questions, I suspects there will be plenty more after a while But I would appreciate any help I can get

those are not problems. those are you not reading diamond's manual or searching the forum. anyway:

this is a feature not a bug and it is for you not to start any app with yr ear.
it can be override in many ways. one of them is using advance configuration 3.2. search! search!

try settings/phone/ring type/ vibrate and ring or vibrate the ring.

also can be changed. in phone mode go to menu/view/speed dial. this way when you call you'll get behind the phone pad yr speed dial. just push the little phone icon in the middle, lower screen and you'll have the speed dial only.

i hope that next questions you are going to ask are going to be after you'll read the manual and a few threads here or you'll get ignored or worse...seriously flamed.

I was told to put Phone sleep during call and fast sleep during call to Disable and Not Allowed in AC but the problems still remains.

I want to change the way the keypad acts. So its never appears automatically when the phone thinks I´m gonna use it, when I´m gonna write a SMS for example

End call button Problems

I just put the Fresh 2.1.1 rom on my sprint Hero, and everything is great except for when i push the end call button it doesnt turn off the screen. It still does if im at the lock screen, but anywhere past that i have to wait for the screen to timeout and turn off itself, and that is rather annoying. Anyone have/know how to fix this problem?
If fresh has spare parts installed open it up and check the options under spare parts>end button behavior>check put phone to sleep hope that helps

[Q] Ending Phone calls

My note is misbehaving. On speakerphone, want to end call, unresponsive screen/home button etc.
Anyone else having these issues? is there a program I can use to help e.g. assign home as call end?
Rom -stock LA4, CF root. Using Dialler One on a N7000 model.
Thanks in advance.
you can configure the home button to answer, power button to end the call.
I've got an issue when minimising the call to look at something else, when I try to restore the call and then end it or try to do anything, it fades out to sleep. Only way to end call is to do so from the pull down shortcut.
This is on rooted stock xxla6 2.3.7.
Will try assigning hardware buttons.

Thanks - didn't notice the h/w key options (duh!).
Still irritating that it fades in/out when you touch the screen.
Thanks to the OP.... After this thread looked at alternative dialers and settled for exdialer which is awesome and fixed the issue.

Phone Locking Up Issue (2 Phones)

Both my wife and I have the S5 att. We don't do anything custom on the phones, my wife plays a few games and I use mine mainly for emails and Web browsing.
Here lately, both of our phones will lock up while using them. The screen will be on and it just freezes. You can click the power button and it will go black, and back on when pressed again. You can't restart the phone, you must pull the battery.
Hers doesn't while mainly texting and mine while waking the phone up.
Any thoughts.

Do you have "Power Saving" enabled? How often do you manually restart ur phone?

Ive had mine lock up similarly, twice. When mine does it, it freezes, i hit the power button, screen goes black. However, when i hit it again, the screen stays black. The capacitive buttons light up, they go back out if i hit it again, and yet again, if i hit it they come back on. Ive let it sit for about 10 minutes but still in the end would up pulling the battery.
No power saving mode. I restart mine every other day, my wife not so much.

Mine has done the same. Only once though. I went to unlock it and the water drop touch sound was going off like I was touchtouchtouchtouchtouchtouch like 10-15 times. Holding down power gave me the restart/power menu but touching it was non responsive. It kept swapping itself from the home screen to the screen setting menu (that you get when you long hold the open app button) .. I set it down for about 5-6 minutes and left it alone and it finally fixed itself. Very strange. Ive been running 100% stock out of the box since I got it last weekend.

Same problem as this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726029
Extraordinarily frustrating, i'm on the verge of sending my second phone back as well, just to get the point across. I have to pull my battery 2-3 times a day.
Ive had this issue a couple times, it seems to be triggered for me by the use of some functions within apps, in my case the facebook app brought on a crash, which I needed to pull the battery

Problem with Nexus 6 Dialer and Screen being UNRESPONSIVE when using Okay Google...

Weird problem, I have to know someone else is having this issue!
I have an unlocked Motorola Nexus 6, White 64gb, Unlocked, bought from Motorola. OS 6.0.1. I am on Verizon. I had this problem w/ my last Nexus 6, and I am on another phone after I had my phone replaced through warranty.
This is what usually happens to replicate the problem...
1. I press the power button on phone to wake it up to lock screen.
2. I swipe from the microphone to the right, initiating voice commands
3. I say "ok Google, call ______________"
4. When dialer opens, I press the Speakerphone button.
5. I talk, etc, and the screen eventually times out.
6. When i press the power button to wake up the phone, it displays the phone dialer.
...
7. AT THIS POINT, the phone's screen is UNRESPONSIVE. I can't hang up or click on any keys! Dialer is unresponsive!
The only way I can hang up is if I drag down from the notification pane and then click on the Dialer notification. I can then hang up from Notifications, or go back into the Dialer from Notifications. It seems to work fine then.
Anyone else?
Concidering very few people use it your best option is to pull a logcat.

As to how, that is easy for nought for you to find on your own.
As to where to send it. Best you can do is post it here and look over it yourself. While it might not seem clear, you would be amazed at what starts making sense after looking it over for a min.
