so does that keep screen makes the phone call not sleep when the proximity sensor goes on? i would like to keep the screen except when i put it up on my face.

I don't use it for this, but wanted to give a +1 to keepscreen. Had it since my Moto Droid days and it is a really nice free app.

+2 for Keepscreen. nice simple free app. always works perfectly.

I'm upset because I can't seem to get the phone to STAY in sleep mode. I'm busy during the day and when I was using an iphone I'd just put the screen to sleep, slip the phone in my front pocket and continue with my call using my bluetooth. Now every time I put it to sleep it keeps waking back up and I'm afraid I'll hang up on someone... that's not very professional. Any ideas are appreciated.

I am having the same problem. When I first got the phone, I noticed the proximity sensor would turn off the display when put to my face and turn it back on as I looked at the phone. That is the way it is supposed to work and I like that, but SOMETHING has changed and I don't know if it was a setting I changed or a problem with the proximity sensor, but I hope someone can give some info on this as it drives me crazy.

Dont let that 15ft USB cord get in the way now k?? Anyrate, not sure if this is of your liking, but a bluetooth will resolve this possible risk

I use a bluetooth already, but if the screen lights up while it's in my pocket the call may get hung up.

Whoa, I never noticed the screen lighting back up while Im on a call using my bluetooth... my phone is usually sitting in the passenger seat when im driving or on my bed in my room so i'd notice... your phone has a brain of its own... maybe you can teach it to roll over too

I can assure you that the phone wakes up after it's been put to sleep since I've hung up on a couple of people while holding the the phone in my hand after it I had put it to sleep. It may be an issue with a setting, it may be an issue with my phone or it may just simply be normal. Regardless, I'd like to unravel the mystery, so maybe we can ease up with the sarcasm a little bit? While I have a great sense of humor I'm looking for a real answer to my issue. So lighten up a bit Francis.

^ My apologies

But okay so when you say youre on a call and put it to sleep, are you pressing the power button while on the call? If so, then I just tested mine with the same method. But if I pick up the phone and slightly shake the phone, itll wake back up. So now you know theres another phone out there thats doing the same thing

Anyone else want to add to the testing?
