D2G goes to sleep..

[ydh2323]

hi,
i have the d2g for a few months now, love it however, i have an issue with the phone going to "sleep". it used to only do this when i would activate the stock camera, but just recently it happened to me when in the midst of writing an email. the phone will just go dark and ill have to slide to unlock, its very annoying. ill sometimes have to do this 4 or 5 times to take a picture because it just goes dark. i cant seem to figure out the case or a fix, anyone else have a similar issue or know how to fix?
thanks

I've heard rumors that the in-pocket detection can cause this. You can try disabling it under Settings --> Display and see if it keeps happening.

There are also applications that keep the phone awake when selected applications are running. KeepScreen is popular but I couldn't get it to work properly on my Droid 2. I tried Screen On and it has worked like a charm. You might want to consider one of these apps.

my screen was turning off immediately after unlock when i was in a dark room, so i went into a well lit area and then turned off in-pocket detection and everything is fine.
