dont have that on my menu in setting-call settings

I don't have these settings either. I notice I have terrible light sensor performance. The screen constantly goes black on me when i lift it from my ear. I hope this gets fixed in the next update....

I'm using CM7 if that helps.

Just press the power button. The screen turns back on.

Same thing happened to me on the leaked gb. It annoyed me to have to press the power button to get the screen back on. Since this is the most basic function of the phone, I went back to stock.

[Q] How to disable the auto display light off during call

Hi,
How I can disable the auto display light off during the voice call on my windows phone 7.
please advise.
Thanks
JAZEEL

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.

I need the backlight to be dim, not complete dark screen..
Any reg fix for it?

Backlight for buttons

Is there a way to keep backlight on for the buttons at bottom?

KTLO does NOT work on the Infused despite what others say. It might work for a few minutes after initial install but then it gets all messed up. Try using it for an extended period.

I sure wish there was. The current design is stupid. I have an open offer of $50 for a DEV who would make an app that will function in Froyo and GB on the Infuse to do just that. If anyone is interested let me know.
Maybe they can reverse engineer "Keep the light On?" I was in touch with the DEV of KTLO and since he doesn't have a Infuse he said he can't do it. He also confirmed that KTLO is not compatible with the Infuse. I have it installed and sometimes it works for a few minutes then eventually it doesn't.

at least i am not the only one who think design is awful....why would the backlight turn off after like 5secs of not touching the screen? ugh

Agree!
Agree! the button lights tune off too fast.
I can't access the button in dark place. really stupid design.
I tryed the "Keep button lights on",, not work on Infuse.

Ok, my mistake. The "Keep button lights on" works fine on Infuse.
We must use it as desktop widget, then we can turn on/off the button
lights via touch the desktop icon.
Good luck!

You'll find that after using it for a little while it will cease to function. It is not compatible with the Infuse. Sometimes it will keep the lights on, sometimes it works in reverse, sometimes it keeps the lights OFF. It does not work properly (even with the widget). If you use the widget each time you want the lights on it will sometimes work until they go off. It's supposed to leave the lights on anytime the screen is on without further intervention. It doesn't. The widget is only supposed to enable or disable it.

In some (this XDA Premium app being one of them), but not all apps, I've noticed that the lights will come back on by touching the screen.

I try this app few days, I think it's work, the logic is:
1.Install:
Install it, put on desktop, turn on, remove it from desktop
2.Work:
The button lights will not automatic turn on while screen on.
but, once you touch any button, the button's back light will keep on
until the LCD off.
not perfect, but not too bad.

Would likely need kernel support - the current behavior doesn't bother me so it's a pretty low priority.
There's also the fact that messing around in the driver for the bottom buttons is a great way to create an unstable device. (As evidenced by the pain and suffering of those testing BLN implementations.)

BLN is mucking around with a lot more than just turning on the backlight. It's dealing with system notifications for various events. I'm obviously not a developer/programmer in any sense of the word but just "turning on the lights" when you enter the room should be a LOT less intrusive then making them react differently to each different shirt color of the person walking in. There is already an app that works on most other Galaxy S devices so I would guess it's something that shouldn't be terribly hard just to turn on the lights when you walk into the room and turn them off when you leave.
Again .... I don't pretend to know what is involved, just "guessing."

Touching ANYTHING in the backlight code of that driver can do weird stuff... Lots of potential for race conditions.

[Q] How do you make phone button recognition better?

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!

shouldn't his proximity sensor kick in? When i make a phone call, as soon as i put the phone to my face the screen shuts off

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...)

Full of Problems

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.
