Returning to home screen during call

Hey all, my 8330 curve always just used to stay on the connected screen while in a call which allowed me to see my call time and be able to switch speaker phone on and off, etc. Now though, for some reason, it will switch back to the home screen during calls. I cannot tell if I am even in a call, let alone see how long i've been talking or turn on speaker phone.
Any ideas how I can keep it from returning to the home screen during calls?
Thanks

I've had the same problem and asked AT&T to assist in one of their store fronts and was told that my phone was out of warranty. BB support was of no help, stating that they had no idea what I was talking about.

Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...

Phone returns to home screen while on a phone call

Synopsis: During a phone call, if I trigger the proximity sensor (by holding the phone to my ear), the phone returns to the home screen. I will often have to unlock the screen, as well. I expect that when I'm on a phone call, the phone will remain on the PHONE screen.
Why this is a problem: If I have to reach Verizon's tech support, for example, this is what I now have to go through:
1) dial number
2) listen to the option, "dial 1 for customer service, 2 for tech support..."
3) pull the phone away from my ear
4) unlock the screen
5) press the phone button to bring up the phone menu
6) press the keypad button on the phone screen to bring back the keypad
7) press 2
{word filter avoidance} Steps 4,5, and 6 should not be required. Often, by the time I'm ready to key an entry in, I hear the, "Are you still there?" question. So, now I've turned off the screen lock, and STILL have to go through steps 5 and 6. ARRRGH.
This is EXTREMELY annoying. It makes me long for a simple phone. I called HTC and Verizon - neither have an answer for this problem.

Hi! I recommend that you do a soft reset. You can complete this by:
Powering your device off.
Remove the battery.
Let the device sit for 15 seconds.
Replace the battery.
Power the device back on and continue your task.

Returning to home screen?

I leave my iPhone at the home screen and it enters the sleep mode. I get a phone call, up popes on the screen who it is. I answer it and when I hang up it returns to the sleep mode. Works great but when I take it out of the sleep mode the screen is in the contact list.
I hope I explained this well enough. Is this normal? All my phone calls received while in sleep mode will leave me at the contact list when I take it out of sleep mode.

Pretty sure it is normal...at least for me...anytime I answer the phone (from sleep) and go back to it later it will be on contacts. Sort of annoying, but I have gotten use to it.

Safari randomly returns to home screen...

My iPhone 3G, using os ver 4.0.2 (8A400), while browsing the internet will randomly return to the home screen. It doesn't matter if I am using AT&T 3G or at home using my US Robotics WiFi the problem will happen. And the timing varies... sometimes it happens in two to three minutes and sometimes it takes ten to fifteen minutes.
Is the problem with my iPhone or with Safari? Is there a resolution tot he problem?

There's very little help that a restore is going to do in this case, and probably even less calling apple. This is a very common problem people have had with the touch, and we can all only just wait for a future update to the firmware, which will hopefully fix these "glitches".

Iphone 3g blank screen during calls

I bought a 3g last week to replace an original iphone that had stopped working. Everything seemed to work on the new phone except that during calls the screen would go blank and I could not get it back by holding it away from my ear, hitting the Home button, or anything else except the on/off button at the top, which ended the call. I was on the phone with apple tech support for several hours, trying all sorts of things that didn't solve the problem.
Then my grandson came home and looked at my phone. He surmised that the case, which I had transferred from my original iphone, was blocking the sensors. This turned out to be correct. If I push the phone slightly out of the case when on a call, the screen works just fine.
I decided to post this in case some one else runs into the same problem.

As soon as you said that the screen didn't come on, my first question was going to be are you using the original iPhone case? The proximity sensors on the 3G are positioned a little differently than the original phone.

My iPod touch 4th keeps returning to home screen when on the internet

This is a real problem! I can't have more than two internet pages up at one time and if I try to open any other pages it returns to the home screen before thepage has even loaded. I constantly use my iPod for the internet, it's not much use if I can't open more than one page.
I have used the soft reset- holding down the lock and home buttons at the same time- before and it has worked but now my Home button doesn't work at all so I have to use assisted touch, meaning there isn't a way to do the soft reset. Can I do the resset another way?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Safari amd Clear History, Data and Cookies
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why do all my apps never open and return to home screen?

I installed my apps, but now every time I try to open one I am immediately returned to the home screen and can't use anything. Any ideas?

GREAT, thanks for the fix to a bizarre problem that was driving me crazy! You can always count on Apple discussions, can't say the same about this whole "2.0 transition", it's been a bit rough and I can't get push contacts or calendars from MobileMe to work, but I'll give things a couple of days to get back on track.
I had a strong feeling things would be difficult today after the WWDC keynote, particularly the whole push functionality given the myriad of syncing problems we've had to deal with in the previous non-push world

Mail will not display, screen returns to home screen when I try.

MMail will not display or load up. When I enter the mail icon it instantly returns to the home screen. Therefor mail will not display or show.

The Mail App is crashing on you. You might have a corrupt email, a spam email or an email with a very large attachment that is causing the crash. It could also be a corrupt setting. It's difficult to know that it could be. If you have a computer, log into your email account in a web browser and look for any problematic emails and try deleting them there.
Try closing the mail app completely on the iPad, reset the device and then try mail again.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT204266 My App Store keeps struggling to load up. Requests frequently time out and searches just don't do anything. If it does load up a search, the iPad closes down App Store, returns to home screen and, upon re-opening, the search has been deleted. Hel

I've had my iPad (retina display) since last year. Over the last few weeks the App Store struggles to load on occasion and times out completely. When searches do rarely complete, the App Store closes down and returns my iPad to the home screen and, when I open the App Store again, it has just reset the store, forcing it to load all over again. I've tried closing all running background applications, with no difference being made. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
2. Hold the App Store app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Re-launch the app and test
Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar

Mail inbox shuts automatically and returns to home screen

Hi everyone,
My iPhone3GS mail inbox displays and even updates for a few seconds then quits automatically to the home screen every time. This only started happening after only 4 days of usage without no apparent reason. I am devastated as I need to send emails on the move. Worked fine for the past 3 days though and I haven't done anything unusual at all.
I have noticed a few threads regarding this issue but I haven't seen any real answers so far.
Can anyone help? Thank you.

Well I had some success in correcting this situation. I have five accts with one of my earthlink accts causing all the problems. I had gone through all the suggested corrections and much more many times over with no success. This last time here is what I did...
1 I deleted the offending acct from my iPhone
2 I reset my iPhone
3 I went into the webmail portion of my earthlink acct and deleted all emails that were not from my contacts list. This included all the junk, spam and returned emails for the first 50 emails. I made sure that at least the first 25 emails (as that is my setting on the iPhone) were clean.
4 I reset my email acct password on the webmail
5 Then restarted my iPhone
6 I added back my offending acct
7 It reloaded the first 25 emails, which were now clean of spam and whatever else might be lurking
This solved it, at least for now. I had previously done all of this many times over, except for the clean out and re-passwording of my email acct. So it would seem that offending emails can cause the iPhone to crash. Maybe it has something to do with the lack of a Junk filter on the iPhone. I don't understand enough of these things to know, but it all works for now. Hope this helps someone.
