Use light sensor to turn screen off while on call

Sprint roms will turn off within say 3 seconds, no matter where the phone is, if the phone is dialing and still connected, try turning the phone on, it will shutoff within another three or so seconds

No, this is not true- at least for me... and I just tested it out again to make sure.

Mine will turn off enentually, but as suggested I believe it has more to do with the power/sleep settings and nothing to do with the light sensor.

As others have pointed out, I think that's the power settings of your phone.

If your lightsensor is turning off the call, the screen will go black after the phone has been up to your face for a couple of seconds.

My VZW TP does do that.

Yeah, that's just the issue, my light sensor doesn't work, but I want it to...

On Juggalo's Rom in Phone | Options | Services there is a setting Call Guard. If you turn that on then the light sensor will turn off the screen on a call. I looked at the Bell stock ROM and that settings isn't there. So just have to find out how Juggalo turned it on and then enable it.

I thought that the Call Guard was for preventing calls while roaming , 'cause I'm pretty sure that DCD's roms for the Titan had it on by default (from back when I had it).

Not sure.

I tested the light sensor turning off the screen and it works. Can someone test if call guard affects roaming? I live in a Bell only area so can't test.

well, any idea on how to get this to work properly on a sprint Touch Pro?
Does it have to do with the HTC Dialer?

The only place I found call guard was Settings|Phone|Services|Roaming

It's at the bottom and I'm using stock Sprint rom.

well, wouldnt the pressing the end thing with your cheek be kinda funky, i mean i dont think you'll apply the kind of pressure you need to press the button is the same kind of pressure you'll put up against your face.

but then again, i've held it away many times from my face in fear that i'll press the end call button.

we could just start a trend of ending our calls my slamming the phone into the side of our cheeks. should catch on really well. =P
