Can anyone tell me of a fix that keeps the screen from turning off during a call? I assume this occurs on the Diamond and the Pro. I am using a Pro, but got no answer on the Rafael forum. Swear on my Momma's (your jargon here) that I searched for the answer..yes I'm a noob

try this

8. Prevent screen switching off during phone call --> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD ormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 (Note: does not work on all ROMs)
AND (tested and works on EU ROMs thanks to Rod65)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0

prolly wil do the trick...

but why would one want to keep the screen on during a a call???

you have an extra eye in youre ears?
or do you like to press randum buttons like "hang up" and such??

thats wat happend when i activated my screen during calls... now ive got it back 2 normal, and cant say i disagree with the initial design to shut it of during call...

besides that you can get it back on during a call with a simple press of the powerbutton :P

The reason why - Because when I get a call and I need to activate loud speaker / mute the call ... I have to do the following:

Push the power button, click unlock, push unlock again, then push "phone", and then make the adjustment.

At which point the screen goes off again! :(

How difficult would it have been for HTC to have just dim/disable touch on the screen, until you push a key to enable them??

You can also get the screen back on by pressing the 'Action' button - centre D-Pad... that's the way I do it. I just can't understand why anyone would want the screen on during a call?

voice mail pass entry, tele banking, 3 way calling, video calls, looking up information to give to caller, speakerphone, directions, hold and mute just to name a few reasons.

... none of which can be executed while the phone's pressed to your ear!! :p

Hi,
I also would like to fix this problem, how do you get into change Hkey settings?? Or is there a more user friendly way of doing this??
Thnx....
