Is it possible to keep the Honor 10 screen on during calls. These days one is frequently asked to press number keys to get into phone inquiry systems etc. These systems often do not give one very long to "Press 1 to speak to what we laughingly call customer service" or whatever, and trying to get the screen to wake up again in a hurry after (presumably) the proximity sensor has turned it off is a pain. It would be handy if it could be set to stay on during calls and, preferably, revert to the normal behaviour after hanging up. There may be a way, but a fairly long search around Google and what passes for a user manual didn't find anything useful. Any ideas, please?
it will stay awake as long as you are looking at it.

I usually use the speakerphone or a earphone for such a call. The screen will not be off for as long as you don't put the phone near to your ears or cover the proximity sensor.

I've just made such a speakerphone call and the screen turns off after a couple of minutes. Luckily, I haven't set the power switch to end calls, because the only way to get back into the call was to press the power switch to wake the screen (as far as I know there is no double tap like my old phone or any other action to wake it). I still need to be able to keep the screen on until the call hands up - but it looks as though there is no way to do it. Thanks for the idea, anyway.

When you say looking at it, do you mean close to the phone and looking directly at it! I've just been using the phone on a stand for a speakerphone call and the screen turned off - however I was a couple of feet away from the phone and writing as I spoke, so I wasn't staring directly at the phone. It's not usually possible to make a call like that and have the phone directly and closely in front of me at all times. From what I've heard here and elsewhere It would appear that there is no way to make the screen stay on during a call - which is the only thing that would help. Thanks for your reply, anyway.

Overall i am pleased with the update, but i believe i uncovered an issue that others are expriencing as well.
When i have a second line calling me the screen does not wake up allowing me to switch to the second call. In the past, when a second call comes in the proximity sensor would wake the screen and allow me to take or reject the call. Now i cant even see who is calling. Since i use the phone for business, this is a big, big issue. It still works but the screen only wakes up after like the third ring, whereas before it would wake up immediately Anyone else experience this? I tried this on my buddies Vibrant and its the same thing.
So the question to you guys is how do i get the old dialer app back which i believe controls call waiting. Does anyone else know a way around this annoying issue?
Is there something stopping you from pressing the power button to turn the screen on when you hear the call waiting beep?
The prox sensor is not perfect.

Thank u. I tried the power button, but unfortunately it does not wake the screen.
Thread moved to Q&A.
bump - me too!
pressing the power button results in a lagged response. that is: call waiting call comes in, screen is black. press the button screen stays black. 5-6 seconds pass and then the screen comes on finally and shuts right back off. whereas NOT pressing the power button, the screen stays black for 5-6 seconds and then comes on and stays on.
I am experiencing this problem too. Just started since coming from stock to JI6.
bump... me too, but this happened on a friend of mine's vibrant who was using stock JI6 from the ota, no root nothing and every incoming call if she is on a call has the same behavior.
This issue has gotten so annoying for me, I have unfortunately decided to sell the phone. I loved it, but is failed in the function I use it most as, a phone. Got a g2. Not as glamorous as the vibrant, but it works as a phone.
When I make a call and hold the phone to my ear, the screen switches off as it should. However, when taking the phone away from my ear again the screen does not return, and I have to use the on/off switch to bring it back to life. This is very inconvenient during calls if I need to access the device, and it also means that at that the end of calls it takes several seconds before I can hang up. Can anybody advise me, please, what I need to adjust in order to rectify this?
Many thanks.
Not sure about the first part, but I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that you can use a brief press on the On/Off button to hang up a call. Might be quicker than waiting for the screen to reappear.
My wife's Infuse was doing the same thing to her. It ended up being a clear screen protector that was part of her case (Ballistic HC) that was the culprit. Although it was perfectly clear, it seemed to be enough to interfere. She cut that part out of the case and no more issue. Do you have a screen protector on your streak?

This happened alot with my old Tilt-2. It took the prob a step further. When i placed the phone to the ear while on a call, the screen went black as expected. But it also muted the sound, so, the person on the other end could not hear me. had to make calls with keypad extended to force light to stay on. Not sure what causes your Streak issue.
Hi
I downloaded an applcation frim Andriod Market.Its called call light.It works well and this issue has been solved.

Hi everyone,
funny thing happened to my Mozart. Whenever I make a call the screen shuts off like it should, but it doesn't turn on again when i remove it from my ear until the call has ended.
Which works fine if the other person hangs up, but it means I can't hang up. Whenever I reach a voicemail i have to take out the battery to hang up!
First i thought it was a rom issue, i had just gotten my hands on the mango beta when i first noticed it. I thought it might be buggy.
But the problem remains after hard reset and flashing with a different rom (pre-nodo & nodo).
I found out that the sensor still works. The screen is reactivated when i shine a bright light (halogen spot or so) onto it - but only for as long as the source shines onto the sensor, else the screen shuts off again. wierdly enough, direct sunlight doesnt seem to be enough to trigger it anymore.
since i upgraded my phone with a 32GB microSD I guess I'm not eligible for warranty, huh? but im pretty sure it happen long after and i didn't accidently break something while opening the phone.
very weird... any ideas?
I had this problem on the weekend.
I removed the matt screenGUARD, and the problem disapeared.
Also you can reactivate the screen by pressing the on/off button...
thanks for your comments.
unfortunately, I don't use a screen protector and the standby-button doesn't work during a call
I have this problem also, with stock 7392 rom. The sensor seems to work when dialing, but stops a short time after a call is connected.
The power button works for me to turn the screen back on however...
Where is the proximity sensor ?
where on the device is the proximity sensor located?
I have been having difficulty with the screen not switching on during phonecalls and I have to remove battery to end outgoing calls. Pressing the power button doesn't help either. I don't have a screenguard to remove.
The problem started not long after, but not immediately after my daughter dropped the phone down the toilet. It took a few days for the phone to gently dry out and it worked again except for some residual water between the screen and the glass.

The sensor is about 1 cm to the top and right of the htc logo. It's barely visible and it is dark violet. (Or something like that, I am not very good at naming colours.)
Anyway, I sometimes also experience problems with sensitivity with HTC Mozart, mostly during calls, especially when the proximity sensor has been activated. Sometimes the home button freezes after a call... It's a bit annoying.
I apologize ahead of time if this has already been posted but I have looked high and low for a solution to this:
During a call, sometimes I move the phone slightly away from the phone occasionally and sometimes it is just far enough to turn the screen back on. I don't really like that end call is simply a button. I was wondering if anyone knows of a swipe or slide to end call function that way just touching the screen won't end/hold a call without a deliberate gesture. I read a lot of other forums and most people say "is your proximity sensor working properly." Short answer: yes because the screen still turns off if the proximity sensor is triggered but sometimes it doesn't. By the way I am running CM7 RC1.4 on my Thunderbolt. I feel like when I still had sense, there was some sort of swipe to end call but I might be imagining things. Any help is appreciated.

You haven't looked high and low.
If you had, you'd know that a simple can of air would fix your problem. Blow the air into the left side of your earpiece.

And yet again someone assumes the sensor isn't working... I was looking for a swipe to end call feature. Not a solution to a misbehaving sensor.

Well I know you don't like to be told how to fix your problem.
But if you fix the sensor, your problem would be fixed.
Duh.

wow. Well if anybody else feels like actually being helpful feel free to do so. I feel like I'm on after dawn's forums again.
When I answer the phone the screen immediately shuts off, I would like to keep it from doing it right away. For instance, if I want to turn on speaker phone I have to unlock and then press speaker phone while the person is wondering who has answered lol.

thats odd. I know the dimming of the display has to do with the proximity sensor, do you have a screen protector on that my be slightly covering the sensor itself? I had eclipse v2.1 and 2.2 and never encounter this problem. And i just looked through the phone settings on my x2 and cant find any settings related (im currently on cm9 though) may be possible you need to reflash eclipse 2.1 =(
Mine does the same thing and I'm on 2.1. Sometimes it drives me nuts. There's nothing I've found that will help. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the position of the phone being level or not. That's more technical than I can explain. I've done it so many times now that its really automatic to when it comes to pushing the lock/unlock.
It just hit me: I have noticed that if you unlock the phone to select the speakerphone and or dialpad, I'm pretty sure it stays on. It's just the intial unlocking that's tricky, yet forgetful.
Thanks at least I am not alone in this. It happens other times also but always involves the dialer in some way.
