*Screen stays on when making a call*
 

On 6.1 when you make a phone call the screen automatically goes black once it connects. But so far on 6.5 my screen remains lit after the call connects, and I have to turn the screen off with the power button.

Is there a setting I need to adjust to make the screen go off automatically once a call connects?

the screen has never gone off when a call connects as far as i know... the screen goes off because the device has a proximity sensor to the left of the earpiece.. this can be seen by laying phone on its back, placing a call, and puttin your finger next to th earpiece..- the light will go out..

if your backlight is not going out when moving your phone to your ear, something could be wrong with your proximity sensor.. idk

Yeah, I know about the proximity sensor, but I have a case on my phone so it's covered. When I was using 6.1 the screen would blank out once a call connected, so I figured it would still do that for 6.5. It doesn't?

With all the different issues you've been posting about, just hard reset already

Re: *Screen stays on when making a call*
 

Having a case or a reflective screen protector that covers the proximity sensor makes your proximity sensor useless. You will need to tap the power button to turn the screen off during a call. Reg edits for the sensor revert back after soft reset.

And if you have nothing valuable to add, just hush already. Man, this place is full of folks who just want to add what amounts to even less than two cents. Since you're apparently stalking me through the threads, I've said repeatedly I just updated a few days ago, so yeah, I'm trying to work out the bugs that are popping up. I call it "learning".

Re: *Screen stays on when making a call*
 

I did wonder if it was related to the sensor, but again, on 6.1 the screen would go off automatically after a call connected; the sensor was only affected in that, by being covered, the screen wouldn't come back on when I held the phone away from my face. But if an auto-off-screen isn't in 6.5, that's fine. I just assumed it was since it was such a useful feature, at least to me.

Thread stalker...yeah, that's it, lmao. It's kinda difficult to browse recent threads and not see all the ones started by you. You've been a member for how long??? And you ask why the proximity sensor is inop when it's covered by a case??? Or this is my favorite - "I installed 75 cabs and reg edits and now i get an error message????" Really??? I learned a shitload on here and xda by searching, reading, and testing. The device is not new and most everything about it has been covered at this point. But still everyday the same ?'s overrun the forum
HARD RESET/TRY AGAIN (and lose the case) lol $.02

This cab **should** make your screen turn off during a call. Works fine on my TP2 and I'm running 6.5.

As others have posted, if your proximity sensor is covered, it's not going to work.

Re: *Screen stays on when making a call*
 

Might wanna try:
Pocketmax phonealarm has the option to turn off the screen when a call is active.
There is also a "Blank Screen on Talk" option in S2U2.

So since you're such a genius when it comes to tech, how come you STILL haven't added anything of value? You come here bitching about me asking so-called stupid and easy questions, but haven't said a thing worthwhile. Jerkoffs such as yourself seem to get off on feeling smarter than folks, and it's damn sad. Whether I've been a member for 10 days or 10 ten year, tech changes. There's ALWAYS something new to learn. I do the research, I try it out, and if I still have an issue, I'm gonna ask someone. Your advice? "Just hard reset, duh!" Well, smartass, what sense does it make to keep hard reseting when you don't know the root of the problem? All you'll do is REPEAT IT! And as for the prox sensor, I ALREADY SAID I know the case interferes with it. My question isn't "why doesn't the screen come back on", it's why it doesn't go out in the FIRST PLACE? And guess what, some kind person here was actually able to answer my question (hint: it wasn't you). So either go to the wizard and ask him for a heart, or piss off!

Your $.02 = shit.

Yes! THAT'S what it was! I had S2U2 on 6.1, but didn't bother to re-install it after upgrading; figured I'd just use the Cookie and Windows lock screens. I'd thought that the auto-off-screen was part of Windows but now that I think about it, yeah, I remember the S2U2 call options. THANK YOU!
