Z30 - keeping the dial pad "lit" when in a call

I have been struggling with the lack of a physical keyboard and trackpad since being upgraded to the z30.  I've discovered a related problem with the touch screen dial pad.  What am I missing?
I placed a call that was answered with an automated reception.  It required me to press certain numbers and spell names to get my call directed to the right place.  However, the screen kept "blanking out" during the call.  Is there a setting that will allow me to keep the screen "lit" whenever I am on a call?
For example, it would say "press pound", so I would pull the phone away from my head, and look at the phone and it was unlit.  I would touch the screen (sometimes multiple times) until it would light.  Then I would press pound, but by the time I had done this, the window to do so with the automated reception had timed out.  So the automated call system would repeat the question, by which time the screen would have blacked out again.  Each time I had to "recussitate" the screen before I could press whatever command was required by the automated call system.  Often it took too long to get the screen lit again and I had to be re-prompted.  It was quite frustrating for something that used to be so simple with a physical keyboard.

I think you are mistaken.  My screen time-out is set for 5 minutes.
The time-out of the dial-pad screen appears to be instantaneous, once the call is placed.
i just tried it on mine with a call and it went off in 30 seconds, then set to one minute and it timed out in one minute

        tfoxx,
    We want to make sure that everythig is working on the device without any kind of issues. When did you notice that the dial pad went away once a phone call is made or received? Do you have a screen protector on the phone that covers the sensors on the device? Please keep us posted.

  • How to delete one number in the dial pad dropdown ...

    When calling a phone number from Skype, I mistyped the phone number.  Now whenever I call a phone number, the dial pad's dropdown list includes the mistyped phone number.  I want to delete that single number from the dial pad's dropdown list.
    Unfortunately I obeyed some people's suggestions in other topics.  Now the contents of all chat histories with all ordinary Skype contacts are gone.  I used to save logs of those forever, but the attempt to delete one phone call history actually deleted all chat histories with everyone.  That was not what I wanted. ... And then, to add insult to injury, whenever I call a phone number, the dial pad's dropdown list still includes the mistyped phone number that I want to delete.
    Is there any way to do it?
    Even though I make more typos than everyone else, even though my keyboard's Backspace button gets a pounding, surely I'm not the only one?

    NOT My day - just typed out a message and clicked Preview. The message is gone. Short reply - this is suppose, at heart, to be a telephone system. BASICS like keyboard entry error correction should be available (in an intuitive way). Backspace doesn't erase last entry and you cannot even delete ALL the entry. Would you fix this or explain why it cannot be done - and then find out how it can.

  • Does it adversely effect the battery to keep the IPad plugged in when fully charged?

    Does it adversely effect the battery to keep the IPad plugged in when fully charged?

    Copied from Texas Mac Man ...
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • How do I keep the website's icon when creating a desktop shortcut as opposed to the firefox logo?

    When I click a website's icon in the address bar in Firefox and drag it to my desktop to create a shortcut to said site, the shortcut is created with Firefox's icon. I want to know how to keep the site specific icon when creating these shortcuts. I know that once the shortcut is created you can go into properties and choose from several generic icons but I don't want those cheesy icons. Can anyone help?

    If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.<br />
    If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).<br />
    You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".<br />

  • How do I keep the find bar open when scrolling through multiple tabs?

    The newest update of Firefox doesn't allow me to keep the find bar open when shifting through multiple tabs. I've tried Findbar tweak however that erases the search criteria as soon as I try to scroll down the page to the next location. Anyone know how to keep the find bar open when i shift from one tab to the next?

    There is a more up-to-date "beta" version of FindBar Tweak you could try, if you haven't tested it already. You can find it on the extension's "Versions" page here:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/findbar-tweak/versions/
    I did see one other extension with a similar purpose (I haven't tried it myself):
