please advise.
Thanks

Ah! Thank you button and quote buttons are too close! Well.. enjoy the thank you vote!
You cannot. I mean it is critical function. If the screen stays on it will register the touches and will create undesired effects like ending the call, or putting it on hold etc... Windows Mobile had these problems and people came up with numerous ways to get the screen off during call.

I mean, if we keep the phone on our ear, the screen display will be automatically off. It's because of the sensor action on the top of the phone. Is there any registry fix for it?
Why would you want the display on while the phone is at your ear? It comes back on as soon as you pull it away.

Hi all:
My fuze can turn off display when I am on the call, which is good. However, I want to turn on the screen after the phone leaves away from ear automatically. Can this been achieved? Sometimes I have to check something on the phone or touch number keys during conversation.

Thanks,I am using now. Although there is tiny problem, but good enough to use.
HI,
Is there a way to really lock the phone from dialing last number? I mean,if I forgot to lock the phone and put the phone in my pocket. It dials my last number. Is there a way to prevent that besides remembering to lock the phone first.
Also, if its locked in my pocket, can the screen or buttons have a slighter delay from coming on to slide and unlock. I am trying to keep a longer battery life
Lastly, when I am on a call, and I press OK on the call and end up on the main menu while putting the phone back to my face, my face seems like it clicking on stuff. Is there a cab or tool to fix that so when you put the phone back to your face it does not start to engaged stuff.
Thanks

hi, is my question not valid? or am i not explaining it correctly?
1. I think it's easier to just remembering press the "hang up red button" before you put it in your pocket. It is that simple which you do not need an app for that.
2. By doing that will probably not save you much battery power imo.
3. There is a distance detector built-in right next to the battery charging indicator. Your screen is supposed to lock when you picked up a call and put the phone close to your face.
You can do a simple test just to cover the sensor or detector while you are on the phone with others. If your screen does not lock and goes completely blank, there is probably a problem with the sensor.
Hope these help.

Thank you ! I understand
I've really enjoyed my Skyrocket (switched from iPhone 4), but I have to say by far my biggest complaint since using this phone is trying to talk on the phone. I can't talk two minutes without suddenly hitting a bunch of keypad keys, making all kinds of beeping noises, which then typically mutes the line. I take the phone away from my face, wait for the screen to return from black (typically takes about 5 seconds), then I go back and unmute the phone and return to talking. Or it just puts them on hold. This is such a prolific problem that I find myself screaming profanities at my phone on a daily basis lol. It's really extremely frustrating. My google-fu has lead me to NO answers, which amazes me because I figure this HAS to be more common of a problem. I've tried holding my phone so many different ways - making sure my face is making contact with the whole phone and pressing hard, holding just the top half to my ear and holding lightly, attempting to make no contact at all - no matter what I try, I still hit this problem an unfortunate number of times per conversation. Is there no app in the market that tries to improve face-touch recognition or anything like that?
When you make the call push the power button to lock it

Oh. See, on the iPhone, that ends the call, so I didn't think of that. Thanks!

Yeah that works fine on mine. He may have disabled the sensor in settings, or it wasn't on by default for some reason
Settings/Call/Turn on Proximity Sensor.
If this is checked off your screen should go dark when you put your face up to it (and no buttons getting pushed...)
Ok, so i opened my phone yesterday only and i am already so frustrated with it that i might even sell it. Anyhow, i have the following problems:
1) The screen turns off automatically after 20seconds, even when i am keeping the phone my hand.
2) the 4 touch keys at the bottom do not light up 95% of the time. They randomly light up sometimes, then they turn off automatically.
What is this? How to solve these issues?

1. Screen will turn off in the specified screen timeout, if you want to increase it go to Settings\Display Settings\Screen Timeout
2.Touch capacitive button lights are controlled by proximity sensor which is placed in top right, when sensor detects low light it turns on the backlit of capacitive buttons.

Ok take a deep breath and calm down a bit. Increase the screen time out in display settings.. it does not matter if you keep it in your hand or keep it on the table, if you dont use it, the screen will be turned off, to save the battery and the display itself of course.
And the lights on the capacitive screen, they act according to the lighting in the room, you have sensors beside the earpiece. It takes care of the display brightness and as well as the capacitive button lighting. When they are not lit up, try covering the are around the earpiece with your hand the capacitive keys will light up.
And remember the thumb rule search before posting, google it or search in the forums.

Okay, so I am making this "my problems" thread. I will not open new threads.
I want to stop auto searching for updates for apps (which happens every few hours/minutes i think). How can I do that?

Use a firewall like we use on our windows pc to avoid certain programs accessing internet. Best free app on google play is droidwall.

Open the playstore. Press menu_settings then uncheck the check for updates box. Notifications and auto update.

Can't for some reason find an option anywhere on the phone to stop this from happening. Every time I'm on a call after about 10 seconds the screen will dim and a few seconds later goes to black. Can tap on screen 2x to wake it up again but I don't want this to ever happen. Not connected to full device shut down that I have turned up to 5 mins so has nothing to do with that setting. Can anyone assist and help me stop this form happening all the time? Many thanks!

Go to Settings/ Accessibility/ Screen reader/ Under Voice Assistant tap settings then scroll down to Quick Menu, tap it, then look for Dark Screen toggle. Click this setting off.. Let me know if that works for you.

Thank you! I turned it off. Next time I'm on a call I'll see if it did the trick and post back.

Not sure then because that was the only thing I could find.. Maybe it's a setting that we don't have control over.. I do know that the screen is supposed to shut off when it's close to your face and the reason being is so that your face isn't pressing on stuff and making the phone do things you don't want it to be doing.. My moms face sure does seem to disable a lot of stuff like fast charging and even turning the screen brightness so low that she thought it was broken haha..

HA. No, phone is on a desk, not near my face. But yeah most phones nowadays do that. Thanks for trying tho.
Anyone else with any thoughts?
Tried replicating the problem on my end. I called someone, enabled speakerphone and put the phone on the table.
The screen indeed turned dim after 10 seconds and turned black afterwards. It bypassed my screen timeout setting which is 5 minutes. The phone app is in the foreground. Double tapping the screen wakes it up.
I minimized the phone app; the homescreen is now in the foreground. It adhered to the 5 minutes screen timeout setting.
I guess the temporary workaround is that after you answer the call, exit out of the phone app.

Hi. I had the same problem and found the solution using third party application: Screen On Call from Google Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vorlan.screenoncall.free
It is compatible with Samsung dialer. On the top later you have small button to prevent screen going dark or to disable it. Proximity sensor is working without problem when you hold the phone to the ear.

Yaaawhoooooooo!!! This totally works. I have been an Android user for years and could find an answer for this nowhere. Users, be sure to turn on "Appear on top".
Thank you. Life changing.
