I made a partial attempt to fix the problem with call waiting calls in this new beta. It should work properly for people with Sprint, but if you continue to have problems with the screen going back off after a call waiting call (using the new beta), please let me know.

Something like this would be great. As I mentioned above, an optional audible alert would be nice as well. I use my Treo in a Covertec belt-clip case, with a headset when driving and the screen is not visible to me to even see the lost network call signal from Sprint. So, turning on the screen wouldn't necessarily help in that situation. Also, if you have the phone up to your ear, you can't see the screen either. In fact, I rarely use my phone in a way that turning the screen back on for a dropped call would be useful to me, though it sounds like this is not the case for others. Thanks for considering adding this and, hopefully, both a silent and audible option to accomodate varied users. The benefit, as implied by kevp913 above, is that your software can operate independently of the system settings, whereas the limited Phone Prefs do not.
Also, to alex_mathews, I'm not sure if you use Sprint as I do. But, my dropped calls often do not occur with a lost network connection (ie; red flashing light). I've been looking at my phone on only a few occasions when the call was dropped, and the network connections visually reports itself as intact the entire time. So, the change you suggest in the Phone Prefs would, unfortunately for me, not provide much benefit. However, thanks very much for the suggestion.
