Fixing screen timeout on phone call?

[gishappy]

How do you make the screen time last longer when making a call? The screen keeps going black every few seconds. Help?

It's not the screen timeout, it's your hand covering the screen. Its supposed to shut off when it goes to your face so that it saves battery in a call, and you hovering your hand over it by accident can trick the sensor.

Or you could go to settings , sound and diplay , screen timeout and try a differant setting.:icon_ devil:

I was having the same issue and wasn't able to use the keyboard during a call. That kept me from checking voice-mail.

On another thread a site moderator mentioned the Screebl app. Checked out the lite version and Bingo I was able to clear 6 messages out of my voice-mail, back in action!

I set preferences: "In-Call Behavior" to "Screen Locked On" for my phone.

The "Screebl Disabled at Ear" option did not work for me.
