    Default How do I wake the screen during a long call?

    I'm sure it's the simplest of answers, but I can't find it/figure it out.
    Just got my Photon about 10 days ago and I love it. I really like that when I'm talking and I pull the phone down from my ear, the screen wakes automatically. On a longer call however, or when I'm using my bluetooth headset, the screen goes dark, doesn't wake, and I don't know how to wake it up again if I need to. Ended up hanging up on someone important the other day - yipes!. Anyone have the answer?

    Strange, does the top button not respond?

    My logical assumption was to use the top button, but that ended the call. I'm thinking a setting someplace maybe, just can't find it.

    The home button, back button, volume button(s )? I might try the volume button first since that won't impact your call, other than adjusting your volume once.

    I always hit the power button and it takes me back to the call screen.

    Is it possible I hit the top button too hard maybe?

    The power button is what wakes your phone, nothing else.

    If the power button is disconnecting your call, that 'feature' must be enabled in your accessibility settings....

    From the homescreen, press:

    Menu > Settings > Accessibility > (uncheck) "Power button ends call"

    Perfect - thanks a million dreamliner. The one place I didn't check - of course.

    Also, menu - settings - development - stay awake [x]

    This will keep your phone on if it happens to be plugged in while you're making the call.

    Thanks, KahneFan. I knew these settings were in there somewhere and I just couldn't find them. Kind of a noob and the phone is new, so . .

    No problem. It's kind of a random placement. I would think that should be under Display. I just happened to stumble upon it.

    For those of us who like to have the power button end calls, is there a way to wake the screen?
