Welcome to the Touch InCall Screen Tweak thread. This app is a collaboration between 600GOL (of changeScreen fame) and Steve Pritchard (of the lesser StartTomTom fame).
Release notes are in the second post.
What does it do?
The purpose of the application is to switch on your screen during a call if you don't have it against your ear. This is useful if you need to enter digits for voicemail or telephone banking, etc. The screen will be switched off if the phone is against your ear (since v1.0.10 this will include as you a making a call, as well as during the call). From v1.0.11 if you put the phone face down, it will switch off the screen, and turn on the Speakerphone (from v1.0.19 this is now an option).
How does it work?
The application, once installed, doesn't actually run until you make or receive a call, so it won't impact normal performance of the phone. When you are in a call, the application runs, and monitors the orientation of the phone, and will switch the screen on if the phone has been in your hand for around half a second or so. If you put the screen against your ear, the screen will go off again. You can repeat this cycle as many times as you like.
So it doesn't use the light sensor then?
From v1.0.6 it DOES use the light sense to detect if it is against your ear. This is really a double check to back up the orientation. It doesn't use it to determine if it's away from your ear because the sensor doesn't seem to work when the screen is off, so it's of no use for switching the screen back on.
Will it work with my Phone?
This app is only compatible with Windows Mobile based HTC phones. It is developed and tested on a HTC Touch Pro, but should function on Touch Diamond and Touch HD models, although it looks as though non-TP models don't use their light sensors during a call, so Diamond and HD owners might want to disable the use of the sensor using the config app. It is not compatible with Android based phones, e.g. HTC Hero, or with Samsung phones, including the Omnia i900.
You can install the application from the attached cab file. You need to soft reset after installation for the application to work.
The second post in this thread will contain release information. Please resist the urge to tell everybody that you are downloading and trying the software by posting to this thread. By all means let us know if it works for you, along with what ROM you are using, and obviously let us know if you have any problems.
Cheers,
600GOL and Steve.

The logging option is provided for people who find they have problems with odd behaviour. The log file will be written to the Touch_InCall_Screen_Tweak.txt in the root of your device. It will get pretty big, pretty quick so if you make/receive lots of calls the best idea might be to switch it on for a short while, use the phone, make a copy of the log file to upload to this thread, and then switch it off if you are filling up your storage space.
3 Sep 2009 - v1.2.0 - Bugfix Update
- This version addresses a bug that has been around for a while, but has been difficult to track down. It appears that an early beta introduced an excessive battery drain for some users, and this has now been tracked down, and addressed.
6 Aug 2009 - v1.1.3 - Update
It's been a while, but this minor update has the following changes:
- Fixes a bug with the "switch off after Bluetooth" call function.
- Fixes a bug which caused the left soft key to be pressed at the end of a call.
- The "switch off for Bluetooth", and "switch off after Bluetooth" facilities (which switch the screen off during, and after a bluetooth headset based call respectively) are now applicable to wired headset calls too.
31 May 2009 - v1.1.2 - Update
This version includes an option to turn off the AutoDeviceLock during a call, as described in this post, for better compatibility with SPB Mobile Shell 3.
21 May 2009 - v1.1.1 - Update
This version fixes a bug with the "Ignore first screen off" function. This bug is most noticeable in the situation where the phone canvas/utility/whatever turns the screen off before TICST gets the chance to. This version has been tested with PhonEx from IconSoft, and works as long as you switch ON the screen off during conversation facility.
17 May 2009 - v1.1.0 - Update
This version provides a number of new features:
- It will allow the switching between APM and non-APM (Advanced Power Management) mode via the config application. Non-APM will give the better experience, but you may find that your battery runs down quicker in this mode. If the option is greyed out, then you are already running in Non-APM mode, and you can't change it.
- An option to prevent the auto-unlock has been added
- The option to switch the screen off after a Bluetooth call has been added.
- The "Show phone at screen on" option has been changed slightly in that it will attempt to activate the existing instance of cprog.exe, rather than spawning a new one. This will hopefully help some people who were having problems with different dialers - most people won't notice any difference.
- Minor logic alteration to try and prevent too much "flashing" of the screen in some circumstances.
16 Apr 2009 - v1.0.20 - Update
This version provides a couple of new features:
- If the screen is locked with the WM Lock when the app switches the screen on, it will attempt to automatically unlock it.
- The app goes into an override mode if the speakerphone is switched on manually, or if the call type is a video call. NB. This is not the same override mode as if the screen is switched on/off manually, and the override timeout isn't applicable.
8 Apr 2009 - v1.0.19 - Update
This version provides a number of new features:
- More configuration for the use of the Speakerphone. You can define whether putting the phone face down should switch it on, and what action, if any, the phone should take with the Speakerphone when you have it in your hand, i.e. switch it on, off, or take no action.
- The ability to show the phone canvas has an extra option of auto-pressing the left soft key, which should put it into dialpad mode.
- You can define a timeout, in minutes, for the override mode. This option hasn't been tested thoroughly, so feedback would be useful.
7 Apr 2009 - v1.0.18 - Update
This version adds the facility to force the phone canvas to be displayed when the screen switches on. This could be useful if you find that when the screen switches on, you are back at your Today screen.
6 Apr 2009 - v1.0.17 - Includes UC Friendly installer
This version adds the facility to always switch off the screen when you are taking a call via bluetooth.
There is also a UC Friendly installer which doesn't run the config app, or give the option to soft reset after installation. However, please be aware that you will still need to soft reset after the app is installed in order for TICST to function correctly.
2 Apr 2009 - v1.0.16 - AppToDate release
There is no change to the application itself, but the installation now supports AppToDate. Also, the config utility will now try and detect the phone type, and select suitable defaults with regard to ignoring the light sensor, and the first screen-off.
2 Apr 2009 - v1.0.15 (beta) - Consolidated Release
Another Minor release - this version handles sensors that give readings greater than expect more sympathetically. In the past, if a sensor produced a reading higher than expected, it could be misread. This has been corrected. The "Always On" feature has been added. This will keep your screen on all the time, regardless of orientation.
24 Mar 2009 - v1.0.14 (beta) - Consolidated Release
Minor release - this version fixes a bug which stopped the speakerphone from being switched back on. Polling frequency has been increased from 4 to 5 times per second.
21 Mar 2009 - v1.0.13 (beta) - Consolidated Release
Minor release - this version loosens the definition of "face down" for switching the speakerphone on. People having problems getting the speakerphone to come on, should try this version.
21 Mar 2009 - v1.0.12 (beta) - Consolidated Release
This release adds the option to switch the speakerphone off once you put the phone into the "in your hand" position, i.e. when the screen comes back on again. The option is "Switch speakerphone off" in the config utility.
Bug Fix - This version should no longer switch the screen off if making a data connection.
20 Mar 2009 - v1.0.11 (beta) - Consolidated Release
This release adds functionality to switch the screen off, and speakerphone on if you put the phone face down on a flat surface.
[Earlier version release notes have been removed due to post size]
Wow, thanks for the APP! Will have to try this one
Works Great!
Installed on Sprint TouchPro Stock ROM, works great.
maybe in future releases you can make a toggle switch or a small program to enable or disable it
thanks
I'll test when I get home from work.
Thanks
Installing right now.
Hi -- works great so far! Thanks for this, I know people have been asking for this for some time. I found it works best if you sort of "flick" the phone when you bring it down from your ear to turn the screen back on. It turns on very quickly and responds quite well. So far, in just a few minutes of testing, I really like it. Great job and thank you !!

What ROM are you using? It's just a question of orientation... I just installed it on a Touch HD (stock ROM) and it worked there as well...change the screen orientation and you change he backlight as advertised.

It works! Just wasn't angling the phone right....It's still not perfect but it works
If I move the phone away from my head, it will flash on/off real quick sometimes, Also their is a bit of lag between the on/off function as well.

Hi. Recently I upgraded my ROM to AndroidParanoid, but due to being a n00b I can't post in a right section of the forum.
I am very happy about migrating from 2.3.7 to 4.04, everything works smooth. After couple of days I can point out only one bug. Writing an email in "Email" application is problematic because in vertical position I can't see full address of my email or any description of text-boxes below (title). It cuts left and right side of the screen and only middle part is displayed. When I go to horizontal position I can see full name of my email and title box, but then right side of the window is cut: I can see only an edge of appendix icon. This icon is not visible and accessible in vertical position AT ALL. Zooming by pinching doesn't work.
I was trying to play with scaling using all UI options and setting different values of DPI for user and system. No luck.
My LG:
+ full wipe before changing the ROM
+ some relevant information about my phone:
* build date: Sat Aug 4 17:20:48 PDT 2012
* kernel: 2.6.32.55-cyanogenmod
* baseband: 1035.21_20110725
If anything else is needed let me know.
Any suggestions?
im not sure what it does or did

Hi there,
I'm a happy owner of a Huawei P10 from a month.
I commonly have been using Nova Launcher on my previous devices, because I love it and one features I like that is usually missing in other stock launcher, is to allow autorotation even in home screen.
Since with this P10 I like very much native launcher "Huawei Home" and I would like to keep and use it without third part apps, as far as I read from other forums and documentation, I should have "auto-rotate" switch in my Home configuration screen ...
Nevertheless, if I long press an empty area in home screen --> Settings, that entry is missing.
In the attached picture, you can see where it should be, but actually is not there.
Does it depends from other previous setting? What I'm doing wrong?
My Huawei P10 rom build (serial) is VTR-L09C55B130, EMUI 5.1, Android 7.0, Android Security Patch date: June 5th, 2017
Any suggestions will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gabo
I don't have it either in the 164 version.
Judging by the numerous complaints of issues with the new A10 updates, it looks like OneUI with Android 10 is NOT ready to replace Android9, yet it's rolling out as OTA upgrades. I predict it won't be long before people regret this new update and want to roll back to A9. I have a U1 variant and haven't gotten a prompt to update yet. It seem like a good time to fire up adb and disable the packages that are responsible for updates.
Anybody love the new OneUI w/A10 they got on their N9 via OTA? What's good about it?
I haven't had any issues and know a few others that haven't as well, but we are a small amoint of people, so yeah.
I really don't feel a difference between Android 9 and 10 with the exception of how dark mode is implemented now. That's honestly it for me. Battery life for me on the Note 8 and 9 have always been meh, but so has every other phone for me with the small exception of the Xperia Z Ultra and LG Optimus something big. Whatever the big one was.

I went back to Android 9 a couple days ago. To me, and this is just my opinion, 10 feels like 9 to me. And the sad thing is Samsung considers this a major update so that means the 9 will not see anymore other then security patches.

Google did state that Android 10 would be a significant improvement over Android Pie. Whether that is the case or not we have yet to be certain. But it is safe to say that Android Pie for the Note 9 will not be receiving any security patches now. As Samsung will only be releasing patches for Android 10 for the Note 9 from now on.
That is what I meant. 10 patches not Pie

On 10 and loving it. Miss a few good lock options. Battery life has been great while gaming compared to 9. I read a lot of posts here and have not run across any issues yet.
This is what I am waiting for, more news of good or bad experiences with A10. I am very happy on A9 (I have U1 variant) and I dont want to click update yet because I like it how it is. I hate that they stop security patches tho. Dark mode means squat, I have themes that work for that. I also use good lock features alot. I guess I will keep postponing the update till I see more threads about it. The silence is weird, normally there are pages of complaints after a new version comes out.

Iv been on 10 for awhile now, and i have noticed its a little sluggish. Flashed in odin, then i performed a factory reset and it is still sluggish. Hoping for an update soon
Yeah, comparing A10 to A9 (stock) is a different comparison than OneUI A10 to OneUI A9 (Samsung's) ... and that is because one of the major differences with stock Android is that A10 finally integrated dark mode.... But Samsung did that with OneUI on A9, sooo... I have OneUI with Android 9, everything is dark, it all looks good, and I like it. Also, nothing seems buggy.
It doesn't look like there is any reason at all to upgrade to OneUI w/A10, unless I like to take my chances and see if Samsung bugged up a rushed release.
I actually really, really, hate white apps. So if OneUI with A10 integrates dark mode into apps much better than it does with A9, then I would consider the upgrade, for Google apps like gmail, maps, docs, etc.
Good points from all. It's not that Android 10 is bad, it just doesnt seem much different then Android 9. For me the gestures were horrible. I'm sure peeps like them but just not for me.
Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
Android 10 OTA has been great for me - getting better battery life and everything smooth and fluid. No problems whatsoever, and I just did the upgrade OTA, no clean wipe or anything like that (thankfully). Did use Galaxy Labs App Optimiser and I do believe apps open noticeably faster afterwards.
P.S. Still using navigation gestures as I was on 9 and notice little difference.
How are the gestures in 10 different from 9?
I have no buttons on my screen. Bottom right corner swipe up goes back to previous screen. Bottom middle swipe up goes to home screen. Bottom left swipe up shows all running apps.
Is OneUI/A10 different than that?
Someone can tell me how is the volume on Android 10 compared to Android 9? Is it louder or similar?

i think you are using 3rd party launchers? because the new full gestures can only be used on samaung one ui launcher
I am in San Francisco, with unlocked US Note 9, and have not received A10 update.
Has anyone on here in the bay area received it?
If needed, point me to another thread for this question.

Stock full screen gestures (no buttons showing) in settings > display > navigation bar. This is built into OneUI/A9

so you mean to say you dont have the new full screen gestures of android 10?
bdw your fullscreen really shows fullscreen apps?
I've had A10 for a few days now, and besides one small glitch (commas and periods are doubled when I press the icons, and sometimes the space doubles also using the space bar), I've had no issues with it.

I mean to say that I am running stock A9/OneUI with fullscreen gestures built into the OS (not from a third-party app), and from what people are describing about the fullscreen gestures in A10/OneUI, they are not any different. And yes, my fullscreen really shows fullscreen apps--no software buttons.
Ive found that A10 and UI2, cannot handle gestures and fullscreen mode any where near as well as A9 UI1.
Ive tried A10 twice now and both times, from a full wipe, the fullscreen/immersive mode messes up the A10 gestures. Whereas A9 can run fullscreen (no buttons, no taskbar, full immersive for all apps) and use gestures without any issue, and with just one swipe.
You try using proper fullscreen/immersive on A10 with gestures, and it takes two swipes to do anything, and Edge Panel Apps just gets ruined, as you cannot swipe open any more. There must be some conflict in Fullscreen/Immersive mode.
I use bxactions to toggle Fullscreen/Immersive from the Bixby button.
