i'm looking for a way to have the touchscreen on my smartphone disabled when a call comes in. I usualy have the phone in my pocket. When a call comes in and i'm taking the phone out my pocket, i accidentely touch the screen. And that's mostly not in the "accept" spot off the screen
So i would like to accept or decline the call by pressing the hardware keys only with the touchscreen disabled.
Been searching the forums and googled my way over the internet. Without luck so far.
Any ideas?
regards, Jeen
S2U2 uses a slide to answer feature, very nice.
Installed s2u2 and it sure looked great... until the first soft reset (after nightly backup). After the soft reset the phone freezes every time a call comes in, having to soft reset again. Whenever a call comes in (when phone is locked or switched off) the normal s2u2 lock screen pops up without the call notification and that's it. Phone freezes and soft or hardware keys don't work anymore.
I even uninstalled SPB Mobile Shell to see if that was conflicting with s2u2. No luck.
Couldn't get rid of this problem so i uninstalled s2u2. Shame, i liked it...
Any other options to answer my original question?
regards Jeen
Hello All
I have many problems with my touch pro but this is the biggest one and it is really bugging me ......When somebody calls me the screen doesnt change the phone rings and everything but the phone stays on the today screen and i have to answer without knowing who is calling me .....
This problem heppens in like 40% of my calls so plz if someone have had this problem before and did fix it .....i would really appreciate the help
That's wierd... never had this... sometimes i have lag with the caller id popping up on screen... but eventually it is showing.
Maybe you should try a hard reset?
I've had this a few times too. The buttons flash, the phone rings, but the screen just shows the today screen. It hasn't happened very often..maybe 6 or 7 times, but it is very annoying
This happened to me too...
I found out that it was a app I had installed that was cousing the problem..
(cant remember which one now... maybe S2U2? or a combination of different call apps)
Think I had to install then uninstall S2U2 again for it to work...(or other app)
check what apps you have or had...
try removing them... or installing old one and uninstalling them again..
and dont forget to softreset... (you should try that first, if u haven't done it)
Only apps that have something to do with calls... not gps, picture app and so on...
agree with above... apps will conflict with WM system. To be 100% sure (the long way) I would hard reset everything and install one app per day or 2 days to make sure that ur problem doesnt come back.. if one it comes back, u will know which app is causing this.
but that's just me.
as a comparison then with adool.
I'm running,
SPB Mobile Shell
SPB Backup
schapps advanced config 3.3
Fast Switch skins for SPB MS 3.1
Resco explorer and registry add in
and that's it!!
if i had to guess, i would guess that either Fast Switch skins for SPB MS 3.1 or SPB Mobile Shell is screwing up ur phone.... SPB Mobile Shell when u install it, there is a bug for the HTC that the task manager at the top right cornor disappears and even after u unstall SPB Mobile Shell, its still gone. the only way to get it back is to hard reset.... thats my ecperience for both Touch Pro and Touch Dual... I could be wrong but thats my guess.
Thank you all ....i have tried all of the things you suggested except hard reset just because i dont know how and i still have this annoying problem ....anyway really thank you guys for your help

hard reset = volume down button + center select button (center circle) + reset button (using stylus in bottom hole at bottom of phone)
press above all at the same time and wait for screen instructions.
Same issue
It's with S2u2 something in the settings I can't figure it out turned it off but I love it! It's the only way I can see my appointments.
Hi
Unless I'm actively using it my TP keeps turns itself off after 30 seconds no matter what power settings I use (and despite a factory reset and SPB restore). This isn't too much of an issue, except when I'm trying to use GPS/Satnav (TT7) whilst driving, where turning itself off is a real pain.
Could anyone please suggest how this issue can be resolved?
Many thanks in advance...
Is it physically turning off, requiring you to press the on key, let it reboot, or,
is it going to sleep, and you press the on key to wake it up?
If it is the latter, go to start>settings>system>power, click on the
advanced tab and change the backlight & power off settings there.
If it actually turning off, sounds like it might be a defective phone.
Thanks for your reply!
I've repeatedly altered the power settings but it makes no difference at all, if I set it to turn off at any given time (or not at all) it'll still turn off after 30 seconds. And to claify, it doesn't reboot, it just turns the screen off. It *feels* like a software issue, because it'll stay working forver as long as I tap the screen occasionally, something somewhere just counts down 30 seconds if i don't and turns off the screen...
The max time you can put on it is 5 min. The default setting out of the box is 30 seconds --which sound like what you currently have.
Set the "On Battery Power: Turn off backlight if device is not used for xxx MIN). Make sure first that that's checked, and select the drop down.
Eventually --to conserve battery power--, it will 'sleep'.
Your NAVIGATION software should have a setting to over-ride this to NEVER TURN OFF DISPLAY WHILE NAVIGATION.
Aside from that, there is no other way to keep the backlight on --unless it's plugged into a power outlet.
Many thanks again for your reply; As I mentioned previously I've already changed the power settings settings (frequently) and I'm definitely not on the 30-second default, no setting appears to make any difference, be it 5 minutes or 'never turn off'. It also happens when the 'phone is plugged into a power source too.
(And I have got the 'don't turn off whilst navigating' box ticked for the satnav but the issue applies generally, not just to the satnav, that's just where it's most irritating).
Is there any possibility something has changed in the registry to over-ride the control panel settings in this way?
How about doing a hard reset and not doing a spb restore? You realize that all you did when you restored the phone was restore the bug, right?
Edit: I doubt it will work, but you can try the backlight cab. It will restore all the stock backlight reg settings if yours are messed up.

Hi,
I have same problem as you. TP keeps turns itself off after 30 sec!!
And I am using TT7. So this problem is so annoying.
I tried hard resetting and install programs one by one. and check if TP is keeping backlight on or not. And I installed TT7 and worked perfect.( display is always on)
That was yesterday.
Today I was using TP, it happened again.
The registry setting is still 3min on battery, uncheck on AC power.
30 sec problem happens both status.
This thing did not happen before Raphael_Cingular_US_5.11.502.2_Radio_Sign.
TP worked fine for a while on this radio.
Now even I check " NEVER TURN OFF DISPLAY WHILE NAVIGATION" box in some apps. TP turn off backlight.
I tried backlight.cab, that did not work and still turning off.
(thanks anyway )

Somebody please help us out.
Did you try the cab? If that doesn't work, just flash another rom.
I am also having this problem. I did get it to stop once by going in to the registry and actually editing it. But it started to do it again after a wile. I am trying it again today and see if it work. I am using a trial version of BestRegEdit and was wonder if it could have changed it back because it was a trial. So if some one elce wants to give it a shot it us under HKey_Current_user\ControlPanel\Power\Display and you will change that 30 to what ever amount of time you want. I pick 0 because i never want it to turn off. Hope this helps Oyeah, does anyone know of a free resitry editor? This is my last day on the BestRegEdit Thanks
Uh, total commander, regedit, dotfred's task manager and probably a few more.

Thanx,
I tried cab, and did not work. So I installed test rom and works fine now. NO 30 seconds backlight off now.

I will use this until new "Signed" and Works Ok radio comes.
* Recently I use resco explorer and regedit addon. Free app: regedit.Mrln works fine, I think. I have been using these for keyboard layout section.
Glad you solved it, I had an interesting problem, similar to the screen issue, wonder it it might be related. I flashed to a new rom over the weekend, and no matter what I did, the backlight would turn off after 10 seconds. You could reset it to 30 in the power profile, but after a reboot, it would revert back to 10 seconds. Reflahsed it, and after the flash, when it starts loading the customizations, it would freeze. Flashed again, and it hung at customization again! Downloaded the rom again, deleted the old one, and flashed and it worked and the backlight would stay put!
Maybe the one you downloaded was corrupt?
Anyway, glad you got it working.
P.S. The rom isn't an "official" that I downloaded, it was one of the 6.5 that the cooks on the rom page whipped up. I think it was just a corrupted download.
This issue has happened to me a few times. even while i'm still using the phone and typing the screen goes off.
very annoying.
I found it only happened to me using EnergyROM. when I flashed to a different rom the problem was solved.
recently I flashed back to the newest version of EnergyROM again (after the previous ROM decided to hard reset all by itself) and this issue happened again in the first hour!
I really wish I could find a usable ROM for once and for all
My Case: WMWifiRouter was it!
This happend even when TP under Test rom env. I just gave up and installed latest version cause this ver is less stressfull.
Luckly 30 sec issue did not happend for a while until I installed WMWifiRouter.
Just after I install V1.50 30 sec thing and happend.
KB0907027: [BUG] v1.50 backlight timeout issue
http://support.wmwifirouter.com/knowledge/KB0907027/
I Installed V1.52 and now works fine and no backlight problem.
If you installed WMWifirouter check the link.
I use EnergyROM as well and i noticed that right after a fresh flash, if you tried to modify certain settings using the gui (i.e. alarm times, connection settings etc) they wouldnt stick - perhaps a direct registry edit using one of the tools previously mentioned might force the device to remember the changes? this worked for me when i had trouble with my alarm times not being saved.
ive also heard that sometimes a soft-reset isnt enough to commit changes to the registry - i.e. once making a reg edit, cold boot the device - that is press and hold the power button and turn it entirely off.
hope this helps
I have a sprint touch pro, running mighty rom 4 i think. It's been working great but as of today I can't turn the device off or sleep it. i press the button on the top and the back lights for the hard buttons on the bottom turn off but the display doesnt turn off. When I hold the button to try to turn it off the prompt asking me if i want to turn it off pops up i hit yes and it doesnt do anything it just goes back to the home screen. I leave the touch pro waiting for it to auto sleep and that doesnt happen either. i have reset it many times and it doesnt resolve the issue. On maybe a similar note I've been getting messages certain programs cant be launched because there is not enough memory even though nothing is running. Also when i try to turn off the wifi it just freezes. Some one help I dont want to reflash the rom to get it to work but will if its neccesary.
Have you tried a hard reset? If it doesn't work, re-flashing might be your best option.
Well it got fixed yesterday but it still wouldnt sync up. Then tonight it stopped working tonight, on boot up it says as_starter couldnt start something about certificates. I really dont want to hard reset because i want to try to sync it up before because i have a lot of calender events and new contacts i have to transfer over.
If that's your biggest concern, use some sort of back-up program to keep all the info you need. There are a lot of good ones out here. Then, if you do re-flash, you can restore all your contacts and calender events.
Hello,
My LG GM750 (with stock WM6.5) doesn't ring anymore, nor does it vibrate when set to "ring and vibrate" - it vibrates though when I set it to vibrate only. Reminders don't ring/vibrate either. G-alarm pops up an error message that the sound file cannot be played. WMPlayer does not even start. When I try to make settings in Wireless Manager / Phone Settings, the OK button in the corner of the screen does not work (the settings window just stays on the screen).
During phone calls everything is ok and other applications can play sounds.
I have installed quite a lot of applications, but everything worked just fine for at least one month, then it suddenly stopped ringing: G-Alarm, SPB Mobile Shell, mRing, S2U2 (with caller ID) etc.
The same problem happened to me some time ago and the only way I could fix it was by doing a hard reset (soft reset is useless).
Any ideas on how would I be able to fix it this time without performing a hard reset and taking it all over from the beginning and hoping it will not happen again?
Thank you!
