    So that when you are finished the call there is a lot of fumbling around trying to press the power button, swipe to unlock, enter the 4 digit password and only THEN can you hang up the call.

    Is there any way around this?

    It's maybe because your phone has a password on it?

    By the time you go to hang up, your phone has locked with the password

    Yes, that is why, but how can I have it not happen, without taking off the password?

    I don't think you can because it's designed to lock the phone after your preset time regardless of what it is you're doing, I quess the trade off of having security enabled is that it's difficult for the owner to get back in quickly

    Something seems wrong with this, the phone should keep the lock screen off until your finished the call and only then lock the screen. Seems like a bug in the HTC?

    There is an accessibility setting that let's you hang up with the power button. Should solve your problem

    Tried this, it does let you hang up but you are still left with password screen waiting for input after a call. Annoying.

    It could be a fault with the proximity sensor, might be worth contacting HTC support about it.

    It could be, but in my experience with HTC's (I have a Sensation XL), it's more than likely the trade off of securing the device, I don't have a lock on my phone because I just find it plain awkward, and I imagine the logic behind locking the phone during a call is if someone nabs it out of your hand and runs off with it, they still cant use it
