Not sure when this occurred perhaps when I upgraded to jelly bean, but before when I brought my phone to my ear the screen would turn off as I brought it back in front the screen would pop back on again. Now it stays on and I can even press the buttons with my cheek. Any idea where this option is located? I have all my motion options turned on and I have smart stay turned on under display (I tried turning it off as well didn't make difference) thanks
go into your dialer press menu, call settings and make sure auto screen off during calls is checked.

I was able to find it, just go to your "log" screen and click on call settings then scroll till the "turn on screen during calls". I actually love this feature.

Hi there,
I have the following little prob with my Polaris:
whenever I make a call the display will go dark after a couple secs (which by itself isn't bad). However, seems like the polaris enters the standby-mode after acouple more secs, since I won't be able to touch the display to bring it up again-instead I will have to press the green or red button. This is a little annoying since I'm not able to easily access, e.g., the contacts during a call or press a key to, say, delete a message when checking my voicemails.
Any suggestions on how to tackle this?
Thanx
Two things you can do:
When you are in a call you can always press the power button and the screen will switch back on giving you access to all your applications and contacts, etc..
Better solution is to install the Backlite application. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360657
This will stop the backlight switching off during a call. Works fine for me.

Thank you!
Yap, I knew about the power button but think hitting this one is a little annoying, too. What I'd aktually like is that - during a call - the display IS indeed turned off or at least dimmed down to very dark in order to safe battery. However, I'd like it to stay touch-sensitive and come back on if I touch it. Will the Backlite application do this for me?
Thanx again!

I think the point of making the screen "non touch-sensitive" during a call is that it is easy to touch it with your face during a call and you could end up disconnecting the call or doing other unexpected things.

Hi all,
After a phone call i often see that a lot of programms has been launched accidentally due to the contact between my ear and the touch screen.
does anyone have a tip to automatically lock the touch screen during a phone call ?

Lol, my ear once accepted another incoming call from this girl that I was avoiding for ages... and I didn't even realise I was talking to her, thought it was my other mate.

Ouch!
If i'm not wrong, S2U2 can turn display off during a call. Great software!
I've tried two progs more: PhoneScreenLock and InesoftAddressBook.
Inesoft provide many features including display switch off during a call.
Phonescreenlock keep the display on showing info about the call, locking the screen.. but with long conversation you may frie your ear
Bye

Any updates on this one please? I have the same problem with running gazillion apps on my Polaris with my ear in call as benjb did.
Tried PhoneScreenLock - did not work well for me because its buggy (the lock screen pretty often appears somewhere BELOW the in-call buttons or start menu and needs to be switched to via closing in-call screen, which obviously renders it useless).
The InesoftAddressBook is not an option either, cause I already have other address book app and would like to stick with it (BTW my current address book has "slide-to-pick-up-call" feature, which makes me afraid that it would conflict with S2U2).
Sadly the Polaris doesn't have motion or light sensor... It would make my life sooooo easier with ZuinigeRijder's TouchLockPro...
So any ideas on what else I could use please? Thanks!
two things...
1) Are you aware that after you answer/make a call but before you put the phone up to your ear you can press the power button (not press & hold, just press & release) which will turn off the display, but not disconnect your call (or, turn off your phone)? No stray on-screen button pushing this way! With the screen off the "end call/hang up" button still functions and when you press it the screen will come back on immediately. If you need to access your address book or make a note etc during a call, press & release the power button and it will turn the screen back on and not effect your call in any way. If your phone is set up like mine and it returns to the home screen each time the screen is turned on, then simply press the green phone button and the dialer comes back to the top.
2) If #1 doesn't do it for you and you need software to accomplish this, then search this forum for MissedCallReminder (just like that - no spaces). Besides having an option to "lock screen on connect" it has a very handy feature (the main feature actually, as the name indicates) of being able to set up repeat reminders for missed calls and missed sms messages. Very handy. It can be setup to run automatically at startup so you don't have to remember to start it up manually. It also automatically unlocks the screen when you end your call.
Turned out I had bookmarked the app, so here's a link:

Anyone else share my enthusiasm for this feature, the 'phone goes to sleep while I'm on a call and I can't do anything unless I hit the power button and hang up' trick! This is my favorite. Works great in conference calls with your boss and clients who are bidding on multi-million dollar contracts! Need to check an email while on the conference call? Can't. Want to answer another call? Can't. Want to turn the speakerphone off because your 4 year old comes running into your home office? Can't. I'm not sure if it's a Sense Fail or Google Fail but it's a major f'ing fail in my book. Hopefully it's just me being an idiot and missing a setting, but the phone comes out of the box doing this. Still a fail.
Pretty sure its a YOU fail. Works fine here dude. I check emails, text, look up map directions while on the phone. What 'battery saver' apps do you have running?

You probably configured to use power button to end the call (that option should never existed, IMO). So, that means you can't access other phone features without hand up the call.
IIRC, out of box, power button is not configured to hand up the call for this exact reason. You probably enabled it.
When Android goes into sleep (or turn off the screen), only power button can wake it up. So configure power button to end the call is nothing but ask for trouble.

None. I can do all of those things as well, while the phone is on, but talking for more than 2 minutes (which is what I have set under Display and Gestures/Sleep) and the screen goes to sleep. Nothing brings it out except the power button. I've only had it for 4 days, I'm trying to keep it 'native' until I figure everything out.

Read Foxbat's post and verify you didn't turn on the 'power button end call' feature

You put me onto the correct path, there is an option under Accessibility for 'Power Button ends call'. By default it is on. As for the wake from sleep, I can't find that one.

There isn't one. Only power button can wake the screen.
Also, you can flip the phone over while on the call to automatically turn on speaker phone. Flip back, it will automatically turn off speaker phone. Quite handy if you do meetings a lot. It is configurable in call settings. This is HTC only feature that can't be found on other brands.
Hello. I'm new here and I really need your help. Recently bought Huawei Mate 9 and I cannot use the screen recording feature. Whenever I click the icon on the status bar, my phone only goes back to the home page and is not showing the prompt to start recording the screen. I also tried the knuckle screen record and the Volume Up + Power button and same thing happens. My screen only goes back to home and does not show any prompt to start screen recording.

Have you turned off window animations in developer mode? Put them back on. At least to .5x
Where can I find that setting sir/maam. Still having this problem. Thanks so much for reply.
You have to enable the Developer options.
Settings > About phone > Build number
Once you’ve found the Build number section of the settings, tap on the section 7 times. After two taps, a small pop up notification should appear saying "you are now X steps away from being a developer" with a number that counts down with every additional tap.
The thing is if you don't know where developer mode is, it means you did not turn off animations in developer mode in the first place ?

Hi - I had this issue as well with my Mate 10 Pro and I found out a way to fix mine: Go to Settings > in the search bar type "Dropzone apps" > Dropzone apps
This sets the permission for individual apps to display over other apps. In "Dropzone apps", find "Screen Recording" and turn on the permission. This fixed my problem. Hope this helps you too!

This is for my wifes phone, we both have S21+5G devices. Her phone will launch the camera when pressing the side power button to wake the device. It does not happen every time but probably a 50/50 chance the device will show the lockscreen correctly vs launching the camera app.
Any thoughts on where to turn this off or what is causing it?
In settings search up
Side Key
And look at all of em

Thanks, I looked and the double click/tap for camera option was checked. I am pretty sure we are not double clicking the side key but I unchecked it anyway and will see if the behavior stops.
Yea so i have played with the side key settings and the device is still being weird opening the camera, maybe it's haxxed. I will try to get the phone factory reset and hope it clears up.
