Does anyone have issues with the screen turning on when you're using the phone with a headset? When i'm on the phone, the screen will randomly turn on. I'll hit the power button to turn it off, and it'll turn it self on again, a couple mins later. Is there something I can do to stop this?

I've noticed this too on occasion with my phone, though it's not consistent. Doesn't happen every time. I'd love to find out why as well.
Mine does the same on bluetooth. Drives me nuts.

I have a similar, but opposite problem. Smart Sense activates and turns off my display after every call regardless of incoming or outgoing, and regardless of my timeout settings. Anyone else have this problem?

Am I to assume this is normal?

I have the same problem. It's a very annoying bug. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution for it.
I've also noticed my phone does this when I'm on speakerphone.

Greetings all!
Firstly, thank you to all you devs that have put so much time in creating such slick ROMs. Me and my not so EOL Eris greatly appreciate it!
My question involves a bluetooth headset and the proximity sensor. I've been searching for quite awhile for a solution but have yet to find one that involves the Eris. I also haven't found anyone else with this problem so maybe it's only me.
But anyway I'm using GSBv2.5, and when I'm connected to a call using my bluetooth headset the proximity sensor is disabled. So the screen will not turn off when I place the phone in my pocket, and when it finally times out and the screen turns off, I can only turn it back on using the END, which effectively ends the call. Is there any way to enable it, or is this currently being worked on?
I've also tried enabling the use of the trackball to wake the phone, but that doesn't seem to be working with my Eris.
Thanks
I have never heard of this feature, or admittedly, ever used a bluetooth headset.
Has it worked that way for you on other android phones before?

Yep, this is pretty standard with the non-stock ROMs. You can turn the display on by holding Vol-Up while pressing the call key without losing the call. (I think holding VolDn works as well.)

Yes it has. I remember it working on the stock ROM before I started using the other ROMs. I also want to say it was working with xtrROM, but I'm not too sure.

Thank you, that's what I figured. I didn't know about the Vol/call combinations! The VolUp/Call combo works like a charm! Is there a key combo to turn the screen off? Maybe I can checkout the power widgets or something.
I've played around with switching between Bluetooth/Speaker/Neither and noticed that the proximity sensor doesn't work when I'm using either the bluetooth or the speaker for the call. But once I turn those off, the sensor works just fine. I'm thinking this is set in some configuration file, but I'm not sure which one. Any suggestions?
Not sure why this started happening, but whenever I call my voicemail the phone goes dark and I can't turn the screen back on. Neither pressing the power button or the home button does anything, but I can still hear the phone call. Any ideas?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Now the screen won't even turn back on after the phone call has ended
Do you use a screen protector? Check if the protector doesn't covers the sensor. It is possible that the sensor doesn't react well when it's covered (I had a similar problem with the Dell Streak).
Also try to make a call with a wired headset or if you make a call and you can't turn on the screen plug the headset in.

Might be a little bit late, but maybe for others
worked pretty well on my Samsung S4.
download the app "proximity fix" from the playstore and run it.
Job done.
Hope that helps you or anyone who stumbles upon this!
Hi,
I am having issues with ending calls. After I speak with someone and I remove my photon away from my ear, the screen refuses to turn on. The calls stays connected. The only way to end the call is to pull the battery. This happens randomly and frequently almost half the calls.
The entire phone is unresponsive, even the power or volume buttons do nothing. The screen remains off. I guess this has to do something with the proximity sensor.
One thing I have observed is it happens a lot (much more than half) if I get to voicemail or any IVRS system.
I am on beta 0.4.2.1 of joker's. Is anyone facing the same issues? I have had this issue long, pre-beta 0.3
Looking for suggestions and fixes if anyone has one.

I did not experience this issue running 0.4.2.1. First thing I would do is download ScreenOn from the Market and set it to keep the screen on when using the dailer/call function.
Not sure what is actually causing this on your particular device though.
Having a problem with the screen not turning off whether it's set on a timer or smart stay. The strange part is it is only when I turn off Wi-Fi power save to keep from getting booted from my network. When I reboot my phone, screen turns off fine. As soon as I turn off Wi-Fi power save, the screen just stays on unless I got the power button. Anyone else experiencing this issue or know a workaround?

Stock rooted
Im having this problem too.
Any ideas anyone?
Doesnt turn off when I was at stock.
Im on team sonic with trinity now and its the same problem.
On jellybean
When I receive a phone call while the phone is off I get the option to either "Decline" or "Accept". I accept by pulling the green "Accept" button down and into the half circle. Immediately the phone turns off again, requiring me to push the power button again to turn it on. Although this is something that isn't terribly hard to do, it is annoying as many times I touch the speaker button. I would be nice if when I accept the call the phone would stay awake so I can just touch speaker.
I went through the settings but could not find anything. Any idea's?

This is a known issue with the Proximity Sensor not working correctly. My phone does the same thing and I am currently in contact with HTC support. I will let you know what I find out
