How turn screen on when on call...if power key set to hang up?

Topic pretty much says it. I like to have the power button be able to hang up, because fumbling with getting screen back on, and selecting the red hang up button is a hastle.
But, if I need to get to the keypad and the screen is blacked out, is there a way to get the screen on? Seems like the answer is no. It hangs up when I try to.
Try to wake the screen with the Home button? Wakes it if it's locked, etc... Maybe will wake when in-call?

That does it. Thanks.
screen should automatically turn on when it goes away from your head due to the proximity sensor. if it doesn't, then put your thumb over the proximity sensor and take it off to create a "pseudo-effect"

Using speaker...it goes dark.
But as noted, the home key does the job.

Screen Timeout During Call

Galaxy Note with ICS 4.04. When I make a call using speaker mode with the phone away from my ear, the screen dims after 12 seconds and the screen turns off after 31 seconds. This happens regardless of the following conditions:
-Screen Timeout set at 1 minute or 5 minutes
-Proximity sensor turned on or off
-Power saving turned on or off
-Screen Protector installed or removed with clean screen
The only exception to the above is that with the proximity sensor turned on, if I wave my hand over the proximity sensor, the screen will turn on and the 12 second (dim) and 30 second (screen off) cycle is repeated. If the proximity sensor is turned off, the only way that I can turn the screen back on is to push the power button.
Is this normal behavior during a call? I would like the screen to stay on during a call (full or dimmed), without the necessity of waving my hand over the proximity sensor.

While talk screen is off

I ahve small problem. While im on the phone the screen goes off and cant do nothing. What i can do is only press power button to restart. Even if caller end call i still have screen off and vol/menu/power buttons doesnt help. Only pressing power for restart the phone.
What is it and how can i fix it ?
Which Rom are you running? Any apps that might be interfering with proximity sensor?

Proximity sensor unresponsive on 5.1.1?

now my proximity sensor is acting funny
i use direct call (when i put phone to ear, it will call the number on screen). that works fine, but once its at my face, my screen turns off. when i distance it away, it doesnt come back on, and i need to press home button to light the screen and to end call
tested the proximity sensor via *#0*# and it works fine.
help
This is normal. There's an option to disable this. I don't remember where, but exists. I think it's in the motion part.
