Root Using apps while in call

[mycocozm]

It seems that I cannot use apps (such as Calendar) while on a call. This really is upsetting. It defeats the purpose of me having a phone really. I've been all through the settings and there seems to be no way around it. Does anyone know if there's an app I can download or an update or something that will let me get away from the call screen during a call? The only options it gives are "memo", "messaging", and "contacts".
thanks.

What happens if you're in a call and you press the home button?

Every device I've had, pressing home during a call takes me to my homescreen.
