Press power or AUX to close the call

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think it's better to close the call with power or with AUX then take 
some seconds to close the call (press power two times, one long one short, 
or three short times, to see again the call-screen and press the red 
button)

I do not want to loose money every call i make!

Hope i'm not the only who wants this.

Another thing is to leave the screen on, with low luminosity, during the 
call.

Please coder let us know ;)

FR has no proximity sensor (as iPhone has), may be it is possible to recognize
certain jesture as end of call or something like that.

@skliarie: i do not know what a 'proximity sensor' is. i think it's possible, 
also 
some time ago panicking told me to open an issue on that! this's what i've done

I think ending a call with the aux or power button would work very nicely.

I don't agree, if we used back for end call I'm pretty sure we will get a bunch 
of
people reporting it as a problem because they ended a call when they wanted to 
access
contacts/calendar/something else.

I agree that takes a few tries to get used to but I at least think it works 
pretty well.

larlin: we can decide that it's better to have a gesture to end a call?maybe 
power+AUX or there is an option to decide...

power+aux could work, risk is that the aux "back" get interpreted first and it 
goes
back and then it won't catch the end call click. Or wait maybe it will if we map
power+aux to android "red phone button" maybe it always hangs up regardless of 
active
application. Someone with a real android phone could test this or maybe in the 
emulator?

To avoid having to teach the FR "hangup jesture", I propose to do an simple
(algorithmically) to implement acceleration threshold, that would be triggered 
if
acceleration is bigger than certain speed (cm/s in any direction):

after a phone call is established, back button would allow going around the 
phone
while the phone call is active.
By default the screen is put in lowest-lit setting and is locked. To unlock the
screen user will have two options:
* press menu button (AUX) (there should be no additional menu toolbar on the 
screen
as all necessary controls should be already visible).
* move the phone with fast motion
* move visible slider

In case external headset is connected, no locking or dimming occurs (by 
default).

Once unlocked, the screen is fully-lit showing all the necessary information.

Or what about an even less intrusive approach:

during a call, let the display dim, but don't lock the screen and don't let the 
app 
disappear. To hang up, allow a single tab on the display in order to light it 
up 
again, bringing you back to the dialer screen where you can hang up.

And when the other end hangs up first, let the display undim when the call ends.

niels: it was what i asked but michael (panicking) told me it's bad for battery!

so if we cannot have what you ask (and what i want) i preferred for having the 
power 
as "end call" button

Do we need to have the display slowly fade in and out? The current situation 
would be 
fine if we could immediately tap the end call button after hitting power to 
wake it up 
again.

or just power to end the call...

Power button lights up display.  So if you need the dial pad, you are buggered. 
 IMHO
hardware buttons uses to hangup is going to amount to a world of hurt.  
Accelerometer
might be an option, but what if you are in a car (passenger) and the driver 
breaks
fast or go over a bump?

I fear there is no easy solution for this one other than Power to light up 
screen,
Power to unlock, then screen tap to hang up (as it currently is).  Might remove 
the
screen lock (as suggested above) and allow a single Power or AUX press to bring 
up
the dialer screen?  Thus disabling the screen/touch and dimming the display?

ok, this is a step on...

+1

IMHO the screen should at most be dimmed (read: reduced brightness, not off) 
while in a call, as requiring multiple Power presses to light up the screen 
again and then unlock it is a major nuisance, especially when dealing with 
voice mail or other menus that require the dial pad.

BTW, the Aux+Power button is mapped to End, so ending a call is easy even with 
the screen off... took me a while to figure out as well.
