Can someone on JB 4.3 confirm if the screen locks by pressing the power button during a phone call ?
I'm guessing we are all on L....
there is a setting in assistance that can use power button to end call. so it depends on that setting on or off
With the setting off because if its on it would end the calls
The reason I'm asking is because my phone calls get discocenected accidentally when I put my phone in my pocket while using a Bluetooth. Since the phone doesn't lock when I press the power button, the proximity sensor turns the screen on while in my pcoket and the end button gets pressed accidentally.
I remember "not" having this problem on JB

Yes, the screen turns off, but the call is still there.
But does it lock? Do you have to swipe to unlock it?

No, just press the power button again, the screen turns back on, and the call screen is still there. Repeat cycle.

Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off the display while in a call? On my HTC Touch Pro I was able to just press the power button to achieve this - but on the Hero the power button is also the hang up button.
Any ideas?
Actually it's supposed to turn off automatically.
IMO the problem isn't turning the screen off during a call, it's turning it back on when needed.

I agree completely... Is an annoying issue that display go away on call because if you need something, ie keyboard or see call duration you need to do something for have it back.
Why not try this app, which you shake to wake the screen - not tired it myself but worth a go
Shake Awake
If the screen goes blank during a call you can simply press the menu button to wake up the screen again. Just tested that and it works fine.
Still, it would be nice to be able to turn it off when I want and not have to wait for it to time out to switch the display off.
You can also press the answer button to wake screen while in a call.
As to shake-it-to-wake-it, with the non-stick coating on the device I would probably be likely to launch it out of my hand !!! haha
Sprint Hero
I just picked up a Spring HTC Hero this weekend and am finding the same problem. When I place the phone up to my ear the screen does not shut off. However since the end button is also the same button used to turn off the screen, I'm in a catch 22.
For now I have to wait for the screen to time out. Turning the screen back on is not an issue as many have mentioned.
My mom has a problem where her cheek pushes buttons while shes on a phone call. Is there a lock app she can install? does the droid2 have a prox sensor?
The d2 has a sensor. Screen should black out to prevent this during calls. Has there been any apps or themes installed on the phone that may affect how the screen functions. A program that keeps your screen on under certain conditions may be keeping it on now. Just a guess, don't know anything about your phone or what's on it.
Widgetlocker is a great customizable lock screen replacement app. There is an option in settings to show during call. If then she needed the dialer during a call, would just have to swipe to unlock. There may be a better answer, holding the phone very still for example, but I really like this app.

I have that problem every now and then. When I get into a call I just press the lock button on top of the phone so the screen goes black, press the lock button again to light the screen back up, and then press the back arrow. That will leave you with the lock screen and no buttons to press unless you slide to unlock.
I would go to menu>settings>accesibiltiy and uncheck power button end call first or you'll hang up though.

I never had to do that? Lol. Could this be already set up in some ROMs?
It is a weird problem. Not a killing one, but still it's absurd.
How would I know that my phone is sleeping (standby) or completely shut down (off)?
You may say, just press the power button on backside. But if I do that, that's going to turn on the phone anyway if it was off.
I want to know without turning the phone on whether the phone is actually off or not.
Any idea guys? Any way to find out?

When you press shortly on the power botton- if the phone is sleeping the screen will turn on to the lock screen, if the phone is off it will turn on to the red M initial screen.
That is a really weird question, why should you ask it? if you turned your phone off it is off, if you just turned the screen off it is asleep (shhhh, don't disturb him :silly: )
:cyclops:
I don't want to disturb him, that's what I want.

If the phone was sleeping, I would know as it will show lock screen when I press the power button. But if it was off and I press the power button, it will turn on the phone. And I don't want that. I just want to know whether the phone is off, and if it is off I don't want to disturb him.
In other phones, they have separate unlock button, here it is combined with power. That's the problem. But moto could have made long press for turn on and short press for unlock. I think there is no solution to my problem. :crying: Thanks anyways.

Call your number?
Plug in the headset and press the headset button?
Plug in the charger?
Pair it with wifi/bluetooth and see if connection is alive from paired device?
I'm sure there are hundreds of other creative ways to find out whether the phone is off or on standby without pressing the power button.

I know what you mean, like in the Nokia 700 (or any symbian phones), there are two seperate buttons, where the lock button does not switch on the phone, but instead the power button does. I know some Android devices need a long press to switch on, while a short press does nothing while off, but Motorola doesn't use this "feature".

If you use a CM based rom you can set the volume rocker to wake the phone. If you use a blur based rom you can install an app from the play that does the same.

Thanks!

Or use light flow app and turn on a led indicator for phone signal.

when I remove the phone from my ear I get a blank screen, have to hit the power button to get the screen back or it returns when the call ends

Yes, this can be annoying.
It depends on the duration of the call, but if it is long enough, it is as if the phone went into battery saving mode (I have stamina on)
Then for me to end the call, I have to manually turn the screen on (with power button), swipe the screenlock, then press END.
I am sure this will get addressed in future updates..well, It'd better!

Sometimes when I make a call without putting the phone on my ear it went black too, it's kinda annoying when you call the bank and you have to press through a sh1t list of options

Yeah.... It has come back with the latest firmware.
on the .475 FW upgrade it got fixed. .510 was OK too.. but the current .532 has the problem again.
Lets hope it is gone with the next upgrade, because there is nothing u can do uness you roll back a firmware
your screen protector is bad, change it as it might disturb ur proximity sensor.
screen protector it has to have a hole on the sensor if it does not you have a problem i used a hole puncher worked perfect
