Autolock after phonecalls

[pratha]

Hi Everyone out there.

I'm having an Xperia X10 and I like most of the features though some things annoy me just like this... The phone automatically locks itself after an call !! This is becoming really irritating when you want to make few calls and everytime you have to unlock and then call, then unlock again.

How can we disable this so that I've to lock it manaually?

Regards,

Prathaban.

Hi,

This should not happen, as the x10 has a proximity sensor, so it should only block the screen when the proximity sensor is activated, not every time.

This happening is just plain bad SW design.

Are you guys looking to this issue or not? Atleast provide us an firm answer !

if SE give you firm answer and they are not able to do it, they will have problem again, that's normal tactic, they won't give any promise until they really did it. Just be patient, hope for the best.

I got my phone a couple of weeks ago and it doesn't autolock at the end of a phone call. It takes me back to the last place I was.  Don't know if your phone has older software on it?

You are the first one to provide this statement. Could you provide further details in this forum for the benifits of other users?

Where you live Region?

Had my Xperia 2 months and it autolocks after every call, it's especially infuriating when you need to make several calls and have to unlock before each and every one.

Come on SE pull your finger out and patch it.

I'm the second oner to whom this doesn't always happen.  I am at home and just tried dialling my home number from my X10, just for a few seconds.  The phone didn't lock afterwards.  It also didn't lock when I rang my mobile from the home phone.  Again, it was only a very quick call, so perhaps it only happens if the call is over a certain duration?  I'll try to experiment further a bit later with slightly longer calls, and see what happens then.

I don't know what 'kernel version' or 'baseband version' or 'build number' mean, but I'm in Canada, the phone has the usual Android version 1.6 software and my phone is the original big X10 - X10a?  If you let me know where to get the other information, I'll be happy to check it for you.

I'm in Canada too and it pretty much always locks on me after a call. Unless you have 'debranded' your phone, you still have the stock firmware version like me (014). To check this info, go to Settings>About phone and look near the bottom of what is shown. Hope this helps!

I've not debranded my phone.  It's just as I got it from Rogers last week.

Model number: X10a

Firmware version: 1.6

Baseband version: 1.0.14

Kernel version: 2.6.29-rel

I think it usually locks after phone calls, but it didn;t when I made very brief calls to myself earlier, so perhaps the auto locking thing kicks in after a minute or so?

Quick call and disconnect doens't lock the phone. Its only when you are in for more than 30 seconds or so this happens. I'm pretty sure almost everyone has this problem, but I'm very disappointed no answer from SE !!
