Hi all,
This has happened to me twice now and I can't figure out how to fix this.
When you make a call you have your standard options on your screen such as mute, speaker, numbers etc. However after a few minutes the screen naturally turns off and there is no way to turn it back on again without having to press the Sleep button.
The reason why this is a problem is if you want to enable/disable mute, speakerphone or you need to input a number as in my case i was on hold for a long time to a call centre.
I tried to press the back button as well as home, but both did nothing and finally the volume buttons but that didn't activate the screen. The only button you can press is the Sleep button but that will end the call.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
When you are on the phone, the screen should turn off when the phone is near your ear, pretty much immediately, and come back on soon after you take it away. Unless you are using speaker phone of course.
Perhaps a problem with your proximity sensor?
The sleep button only ends the call if you set it too.

Is there anyway I can turn off screen timeout during a phonecall? It's really annoying when I hit end to end the call but it actually only turns the screen on and I have to hit end again... I would rather have the screen stay on during calls and hitting end (either the physical button or the on screen end, but in this case, probably the on screen end) to end the call. Are they're any apps on the market or any patches for ROMs (I'm rooted running a custom ROM) that I can get to achieve this?
Thanks
i would also love to be able to do this. Toggle would be good for this setting too. When I am on conference calls , I typically use a Bluetooth headset. Therefore I need the screen to stay on to control mute, etc. But when I am using the phone up to my ear screen timeout would be desirable so that i don't accidentally press buttons.
is teds tools or noled the only kinda sorta way around pressing the power button to turn the screen on while talking on your phone after it goes dark? i press my power button while on the phone during a call and it drops the call.
you should just have to pull the phone away from your face, or turn it flat while on a call to turn the screen on.
The captivate has a proximity sensor that has the screen turn on when it pulls away from your face. If the screen is not turning on, there could be a problem with the sensor.
how about when using a bluetooth headset or headphones? i just called myself and set the cell phone down until it went dark, picked it up and not even teds would pop back up so i pushed the power button and it cut me off again.

WTH is teds???
guess it was a bug with the cognition rom. i started getting process errors during phone calls when i dialed out. removed the rom, reset to factory and the problems are gone. i can now push the power button to light the screen up during a call without it cutting the call. but im still planning on taking it back to trade it for an atrix
I'm using SU660 with CM7, everything is OK, except one thing: incoming call, reject call when I touch the Back button. Often have accident when take the phone from pocket, because the back button lay on last right side of the phone, my thumb easy to touch that button when take out the phone in pocket.
How to disable back button when incoming call?
Up.....help me!
Whenever I make or receive a call, the screen shows the "incoming" or "outgoing" screen for a second, then the screen turns off.
Upon turning it back on, it turns back off after about half a second and won't turn back on, I tried pressing power and home button, putting my finger over the non-physical buttons at the bottom and applying pressure along the edge of the phone.
This is a major flaw since when I'm making a call and they don't pick up, it stays on the "please leave a message" portion of the call and I am forced to shut the phone off just to continue using it. The same happens when I get an incoming call. The accept and reject buttons don't appear so I have to wait until it rings to call them back. What is the point of I can't simply make calls on a smartphone?
I have already disabled the proximity sensor via the call settings, but it didn't make any difference.
This is very frustrating when I have to make many calls.

Do you have a case on it? The case might be blocking the sensor.. Also, sometimes an app causes problems with the sensor.

When I'm on a phone call the screen turns off. This messes me up if I have the mute button or speaker phone (accidentally) enabled. When the other party picks up or asks something I'm unable to get the screen back quick enough and they assume the line dropped. This is really annoying. I use the power button on the phone to hang up so pressing it wouldn't work. How can I fix this problem? The easiest way I can think of is if there's an option to just not have the screen turn off?
When this happens I try tapping on the screen but it usually just comes back momentarily before I can unmute.
