About LinkBacksDoes your screen time out and go black when making a call? This really sucks.
For example, when I call my voice mail... by the time I have to punch in my password, my screen goes black before I get a chance to pull up the dial pad. I even tried to put my Keep Screen widget on the task, but it doesnt always work properly on phone mode. I do have my screen timeout set at 2 minutes.
Anyone else having this issue or have a suggestion.

03-08-2010 08:06 PMYou will likely receive similar feedback, but check out Screebl. Should help you with your issue, although I am a bit surprised that it is going black set at 2 minutes, but give Screebl a look. Good luck and hope it works for you.

03-08-2010 08:06 PMWhen on a call, your screen timeout settings have no effect. The reason it goes off, is because of a sensor on the top left corner of the phone. When you get close to that sensor the screen goes off

03-08-2010 08:39 PMCool, after playing with it... you are 100% correct. I noticed if I make the call away from my face, it keeps the screen on until I get close to it, but screen comes back on when I move away. Although I dont like it, now I can work around this issue.

03-08-2010 09:26 PMu dont like it??? what you wouldn't like is your cheek and ear pressing buttons all over your screen if you didn't have that proximity sensor. Its there for your convenience, just keep your fingers away from the top left of the screen when in phone mode.

During a phone call the screen times out when you put it against your cheek, the light sensor has it automatically turn off so you don't "face dial"
