anyone having issues with screen turning off as soon as a call is placed even when not near your ear?, i was trying to setup my voicemail and since the process ask you press numbers to confirm or # i coulnt do it cus the screen would just keep turning off and wont turn on until i use power ,but, it will only last few second and turns off again, very annoying cus i cant see nothing when i place a call, on my OG evo the screen would turn off when near my ear but would turn on as i got it away.
then the opposite the screen stayed on and had used power to turn it off but, it locked the phone and when i tried to unlock it as soon as i got near anywhere in the whole screen it would just turns off and wouldnt let me unlock it to hang up,
and sometimes it would stay on when i place a call and wont turn off even if i get it near my ear..
sorry for my english...
Are you using a screen protector or have a case on that covers any part of the front?

yes i am using a zagg screen protector, no cases.
i was thinking maybe the protector, i hope is not that cus i paid $25 plus $7 to have it install at bestbuy
i was just checking the protector and i can see it covers the sensor space...
EDIT: THANKS donatom3..i decided to risk the $32 dollars i spend on the protector and cut the little corner where the sensor is, now works great!! when i get to a call it wont turn off like it did, when i place a call and get it near my ear it turns off but when i get it away and comes on just like my OG EVO...thanks cus i only did it after you asked me..i hope this help someone else having issues...

My wife broke her screen on Friday and we went to a local shop to get the screen fixed yesterday.
This morning she mentioned that she thought the color on the new screen was different. She also pointed out that the buttons at the bottom didn't light up the same.
They practically don't light up at all.
The screen seems a bit dimmer as well. Not as bright and clear.
Is there any way that I can find out what kind of screen they put in her phone short of threatening to bulldoze the shop unless they put the right screen in?
I'm more than capable of dissasembling the phone without killing it and now wish I had but wifey wanted a working phone *today*
Can anyone help out? Are there any part numbers I can use to see what she's got now?
can you take a picture of the phone from upwards, and from sideways (to see if the screen is thicker than it should be)
sounds like it's a regular LCD screen

not without taking it apart first
You can tell if its LCD by how deep the blacks are.

definitely got shafted. you got an LCD screen. i'm pretty sure the local shop orders their parts from eBay or some chinese supplier. those screens are usually LCD even tho some may claim its amoled. the only way to get a genuine Super AMOLED screen is to contact samsung to replace it. i remember reading somewhere than samsung is not distributing their Super AMOLED screens to 3rd parties

I used to be a cellphone technician for a short time and I can tell you that we fixed screens on a lot of touch screen phones... but all the parts are dirt cheap chinese knockoffs!!! There is NO local shop that uses original OEM parts!!! unless u send it back to tmobile or etc!
to answer short and accurate u didnt get the same screen ur vibrant came with!
^$%#
Now I really feel like a total idiot
i have S2U my "Blank Screen on Talk" is off
but when I make a call the screen goes blank, a little help
Could be that S2U2 is not overiding the default proximity sensor settings..
Try playing with the prox. sens. toggles in CHT2.0.....
Thats about all I can think to suggest.
Someone might know the reg values you need to disable the prox. sens. but not me Im afraid.......
dear sweet Lord, someone get me a straight jacket
just found out why phone goes blank when I make a call.
go on guess what it was, you'll never bloody guess, give up???
it was my protective phone case. You see there is a flap that covers this piece where you put your ear. when i took the phone out of the case and made the call the phone only goes blank when i put it to my ears and light back up when i move it away
i really need a drink, is it too early!!!!
Anyone have any issues with the screen staying on while talking? I've noticed it kinda acts a little strange. Sometimes it stays on the whole call unless I hit the power button. Sometimes it stays on while in speaker and shuts off after I leave speaker. It been kinda random.

same problem here. i've just gotten used to turning it off with the power button
i was having the same issues and someone asked me if i had a screen protector, well , i did and decided to cut the corner where the sensor is and no more issues, if you got a protector you might be having it cus of it.
BTW, thanks donatom3, since you were the person who asked me if i had a protector and only after that i decided to cut a corner of it and solved my issue ..
i have a zagg hd from bestbuy...
As soon as I get on a phone call, the screen will turn off. I will push power and then 2 seconds later the screen will turn off again, but this time nothing will wake it up unless i hold the power button until it resets. I have no case and no screen protector on the phone. Any ideas? It's driving me crazy. It wont even allow to hang up the call or anything.
Bone stock. No Root.
Sounds like a proximity sensor issue. There's a little sensor about a half-inch left of the HTC logo text on the top of the screen. It's designed so when you put the phone to your face during a call, it will turn the screen off so it's not wasting energy/blasting the side of your face with screen light.
There's a lot of reports of screen protectors causing this issue.
Do you have a screen protector on that doesn't have the area cut out for the sensor? Zagg Invisishield has a little cut out chunk right where the sensor is at, but a lot of other screen protector makers didn't test before pushing their products out the door.

No screen protector at all.
If the screen is clean in the proximity sensor area and it's still doing it, I'd go get it swapped out. Some of them actually have issues, and the others were all caused by screen protectors.

Tried it again while outside and it didnt do it, so apparently it only does it when indoors. I will go to sprint tonight and try it again. I just passed my 30 days though so does that mean I get a refurb one?
I had the same problem as you. They replaced the phone but I was within the 30 days.

The phone is so new, there probably aren't any refurbs yet. You will most likely get a new one.

do you get another phone if you purchased via a third party dealer like wirefly or amazon?
I had the same issue....and would only happen in low light.....but I did have a zagg so I made Best Buy put a new one on and made sure it was all the way to the top....that solved the issue. My phone still turns off after I make a call but power will at least turn it back on now. Before I had to reboot as well to get out of a call.
Good luck hopefully they will let you exchange it.
+1 on the screen protector issue. Best buy put a new on for me also due to the cut-out slightly covering just the edge of the proximity sensor, thus screwing with the screen on/off issue. Once they did that all was perfect.

Since this is probably not fixable with an ota, would be cool if they added a toggle to disable/enable the sensor in call.

My baby kept pressing the screen (very gently) for a couple of minute when it was in lockscreen.
After that the screen became crazy ass hell. Its working by itself, the back of phone is getting hot and wont respond to touch commands.
I wonder if I messed up the screen digitalizer? should I change the hole screen now?
It does sound like the digitizer might but a goner. I would say change the whole thing, changing the digitizer alone isn't easy if not impossible (for me anyway). i have replaced my screen twice now quite cheaply so i would opt for changing the DIGI & LCD

Change the whole panel can be done in 20 to 30 min time even for beginners. Also make sure you buy a OEM a lot of the cheaper ones do not have gorilla glass and will break easily.
