On a Call situation

I would like to have an "On a Call" situation, so I can keep the screen from timing out while I'm on a call.

It's annoying to listen to a voicemail, and then have to wake up the phone to delete or save it.

    This has been implemented by the “Locale Call Detection Plug-in” plug-in condition for Locale 1.0. To find this plug-in on the Market, simply open Locale and choose Get Plug-ins from the menu.

        This would be very usefull condition to add actions to.
        I'd use it to have bluetooth active only while I'm calling.

        The "On a Call" condition can be useful for so much more, though. I might want to use it to update my various statuses, or pause my media player, or tell my computer to open my calendar app (When I'm at home), or any number of other thing's that haven't been imagined. The application of a single use case doesn't equate to a limit on usability, but an example of it.

        Of course, if the conditions API were opened up there wouldn't be the constant stream of ignored requests for additional conditions.

        This would be good. However, you can use power manager or shake awake to achieve this; I don't know if it suits being part of locale.
