Hi,
Is there anyway to keep the screen on after you make a call. Sometimes I need to enter a code after I connect to a phone number but my screen closes. By the time I get it to turn back on it's too late to type in any information. I look at the settings but could not find anything. Thanks.
David
It should turn on once you pull it away from your face, once the sensor senses light it should turn on.
Mine makes a clicking sound tooafter like 10 seconds
Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is sometimes it's dark outside and the sensor does turn the screen back on. Hopefully they'll be a fix for this in the future.

I also have this problem, they need a fix!

Is there a registry tweak or option anywhere in the phone to automatically turn off the screen while on a call. One of my friends complaining that her earrings and face always launch applications and she was on a 3 way call with someone and she didnt even know because of this lol
I would like to know also as sometimes I feel the screen heats up the phone also by being lit.
wtf... you must have a bizzaro phone...
cause my **** shuts off in 2 seconds once i'm in a call... as a matter of fact there is a sensor that auto switches off the screen when ur in a call and you hold the phone up to your ear... i believe based on the g-sensor and light sensor.
and its annoying as hell... your phone must be blessed to stay on...
just press the power button tho man.
Check out the program S2U2, that's what I'm using and it works nicely. The phone is supposed to auto turn black when it gets near your face, but I noticed that it's too damn slow (VZW version) and it usually hits something before it turns black....
Mines never once done this action.
Mine intermittently works too. Of course it always turns the screen off when I call voicemail so I have to turn it back on to punch in my passcode.
Also, when I tell it to bring up the keypad after dialing voicemail, it brings it up and then goes back to the other options screen and I have to tell it to bring up the keypad again. Honestly, how hard can it be to program this stuff to work right? There are a lot of things I like about this phone but this kind of performance makes this phone more of a toy than a usable business device. I also can't believe how slow this device is ie. start menu. /end rant.
As ghostboy said try s2u2. Under the options there is a blank screen on call (or something like that) That turns the screen off for you.

Roger that. How do I get it to stay ON when in a call??
try this out!!
This one works for me.
Hello every1.
So I got myself a galaxy s3 second hand, and I managed to drop it today from the first floor.
It's screen didn't got damaged, but my proximity sensor isn't working anymore.
When I am in call, my screen does not go off when the phone is at my ear because the sensor isn't working.
Is there any app, that will turn off my screen when certain events happen?(like getting a phone call)
I am too lazy to reach out to the upper sides to turn the screen off.
Is there any way I can do this?
tasker
EDIT:
Thank you very much.
I had problems but I figured it out. Too bad I cannot set the display minimum timeout less than 7 seconds, but it's okay.
So I set my screen timeout to 7 seconds when the call is answered and when the phone is idle, set it back to default.
Genius app!
Thank you so much!
hi all
i have spent almost 2 days for an answer , no luck
my problem is
my phone s3 lte . screen turns of as soon as i obstruct the front camera and the 2 sensors area . it was ok before , since few days it started doing this . now i cant take screen shot pictures by moving my palm across the screen for example , not sure what this is due to
any help please .?
You've posted in the wrong section, questions go in q&a section -those for the i9305 stand more chance of a reply that won't brick your phone in the special q&a for LTE phones.
Report your own post and ask for it to be moved.
Having said all that, you've probably got a corrupt framework or a hardware fault. Flash a fresh official stock rom after a factory reset to test. If it's still the same then send for repair.
Is this when in a call sorry to ask noob question just curious if your covering the proximity sensor

Screen Blanks out on Galaxy tab
I ran this test and your screen is only supposed to change color from white to green during the test. My screen blanks out completely during the test.
Not sure if the sensor is bad or if it is a software or and OS issue yet.
you tube.c om /watch?v=N8G6ksaciho
Need advice.
I just received a SM-T705Y, KitKat. When I am in only some applications not all, the screen shuts completely off when my finger passes over the two sensors/camera near the word "SAMSUNG" at the top of the device. I have tested the cause and done it repeatedly by putting a small piece of black electrical tape on the sensor.
With the tape on the sensor, the screen never shuts off. The screen then will come back on several seconds after I remove my finger/tape from the sensor. Also, I do not have to actually touch the sensor to get the screen to turn off. But it activates the lock screen when it does turn off. ANNOYING !!!
My SM-T705Y is not rooted. It is in developer mode.
I think its the sensor that turns the screen off when you take a phone call is still stuck on ???
I have the phone proximity sensor turned off in: Settings> When I'm the phone screen The screen stays on.
Auto adjust screen tone : ON
Auto brightness is off
I have the "Smart Stay" turned off in: Settings>Device>Display.
Screen timeout set to 10 minutes. Screen mode set to "AMOLED Cinema"
I have restarted, not rebooted the SM-T705Y

The proximity sensor is located there. That's why you have that issue. It's normal behaviour.
If you are trying to turn the screen off during calls there is an option to do so in either calls settings or display settings.
If you move the phone away from your head it will turn the screen on. It's a proximity sensor, thats its job!.

Fix
I have same problem with my samsung and I fix it!
Just close all recently used app (press button next to menu button and close all) and you will have normal screen..... Looks like some app, especially call app make problem and activating proximity sensor. So one more time close all recently used app, press button next to menu button and close all app....
Good Luck!

My screen dims rather quickly with the dialer on and then turns off. My default screentime out is 2 mins, but this doesn't apply to the dialer. It gets really annoying if you have to get through a couple of prompts and the screen keeps dimming. Any suggestions on how to address this? Either have the same 2 minute delay apply to the dialer, or even not have it turn off at all.
Thanks!

When I have Waze navigation on, my screen doesn't dim. When I make a phone call, I go back to Waze map screen. I can drag the phone call thingy wherever I want. If I need to mute, unmute I just click that to go back to call dialer interface for a few seconds. Then I go back to Waze screen to keep display on.
Yes, it's a wonky workaround, but it works. When I use this while driving, I make sure my phone is plugged in for charging -- because the display will stay on for the entire duration of the phone call.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm surprised there isn't a better way to address this..
Hi,
I have this issue with my watch: sometimes I can light-up the watch by touching the display and most of the times this doesn't work. Is this a feature (when it works) or a bug (when doesn't work)?
Thank you!
Just few seconds after your screen goes off, it would get back on by tapping on screen. In other cases you couldn’t make it on by tapping.
I just hop on this thread about screen light.
I trying to find the setting to turn off the screen while on running activity. I notice the screen is light on entire running activity until complete. I had already enable wrist lift option to turn on the screen when i need checking the running stats.
Anyway find the setting to turn it off or perhaps sleep mode. Thank you in advance.
There is no such option in Zepp yet. Hopefully they will add it, since screen-on is very battery-consuming.

You can turn it off by going into workout settings.
If you disable light on lift, touch to light up display will be also disabled. At least it happens on mine.
