Disable/Lock Screen During Call?

arlindemini · #1 (**permalink**) 10-30-2009, 11:20 AM

Is there a utility/registry edit/anything that I can use to automatically lock/power off the screen when I hit send to place/accept a call? The screen is constantly turning on/off during calls and going through menus, muting me, etc... Please let me know, thanks in advance!

If you keep the phone next to your face the proximity sensor should kick in and keep the screen off and prevent face button pushing.

I find the proximity sensor has been very sufficient in preventing accidental keypresses. As long as you're not taking it away from your ear while you're talking on the phone, it's never an issue.

I dislike this as well. Most of the time mine ends up on the notifications screen after calls. I've thought about disabling that screen. It does need a call lock like the Omnia 1 had. It would be nice to have a lock that engaged when the proximity sensor turned the screen off and you could just press a button to unlock it.

Does anyone else have a comment to help with this issue? I too am experiencing the problem.

i was using pocket shield for this as well as a locker but i dont care for the in call functions ... to slide from top to bottom of the screen can be a p.i.t.a & i dont find the one that uses the sensor to be great although its alot better on release 3.27.1rc ive yet to play with sensitivety of it but will when i get time

i generally keep my phone in my pocket and use handoff...and the other side is always hearing something because i am "click on buttons"

quite annoying....
