treo 750/cingular - is there a way to keep my phone from answering on its own when I pull it out of the holster? maybe there is an option in the phone I'm over looking or some kind of third party software that will keep this from occuring?

It looks like the green button is pressed when you pull it out of the holster?
When you don't wan't to be able to pick up, how are you gonna answer calls then? I have "touchscreen disabled on phone incomming call" this way like it says the touchscreen does not react when I recieve a phone call

Apologies if this question has been asked and answered before, but if so, could someone please redirect me. This is my first time on this forum. I've had my HTC Touch Pro (Raphael) for a couple of months now, and cannot get round the problem that whenever I receive a call, I somehow manage to cut it off before I can get the phone out of my pocket. I have tried several different cases (the current one opens like a book, so doesn't press any of the buttons), but something happens in the process of removing the phone from my pocket, however gently and swiftly I try to do it, which means that all I get is a "missed call" message, even after only one ring. If the phone is on a flat surface, it will ring for a long time, so it's not that setting. This is SO frustrating, especially when you try to see who called you, and it just comes up with "unknown caller".... it's also costing me a lot of money having to phone people back when I do know who they are. Please help somebody. I really like my little phone, but it may well end up being thrown out of a window at this rate! Thank you!
Check out this utility here on XDA. Works great. Unlock the phone by rolling it over. It uses the gravity sensor.

Many thanks for that. We've installed this thread, although I'm not really clear about what it does. It seems I can now lock and unlock the phone by turning it clockwise and counterclockwise respectively along its axis (in addition to the long press, which is what I usually use to lock the phone).
I tried answering one call whilst it was locked, but couldn't free it up to press the "answer" key until I had turned it several times. Fortunately, the caller was quite patient! Is this just a technique I have to get used to, and will it mean that I get a chance to answer calls before the connection is severed? Sorry to sound so thick, but this is all very new to me.

Go to the settings menu and edit your SensorLock preferences to lock the screen only on an incoming call thus leaving the buttons unlocked.
Maybe the "face down mute" is happening to your calls? Try disabling it.
Um..... how?
answer keys disabler
You the thread below, it disables the onscreen answer buttons while ringing. Helps me getting the phone outta my pocket when ringing

Gravity sensor... I ever seen this technology on nokia phone. but until now I'm still amazed by this technology. how this sensor works..
sorry 4 my english cause I'm from asia
Ah Dedy - if I win the lottery I shall come and throw a brand new Touch Pro through your window, I promise! I'm afraid that I'm having far too much fun with this one (despite the problems in my pocket) to part with it just yet though. Hope you have a great Christmas, and maybe Santa will bring you one, you never know!
I tried asking this in the big question thread, but since no one reads that one I'll ask it here.
When I recive text messages the vibrator goes of and stays on for like 10 sec. That is fine for phone calls, but om SMS I'd like a short burst instead.
I see no reson to waste battery time having the phone vibrate for so long.
In the setting I only find the option to enable or disable the vibrator.
I have also looked for some 3rd party software, but I have only found software where I can make the phone vibrate when touching the touch screen.
Same
I have the same issue. It was not a problem in Windows 6.1, so I'm guessing it's just something we have to deal with for now? From what I remember, the extended vibrate is only when the screen is locked... and currently it seems that the new Windows lock has been giving a lot of problems.
Is this the case for you?
Does anyone know of an application that will put incoming calls directly to the notification bar instead of popping up in the middle of whatever activity is taking place... web browsing or smsing for instance.
Sorry if this has been asked before but i have been searching for a few days and havent been able to find anything.
Thank you,
This would be awesome!. Say it can show on the notification bar Incoming Call From John Doe and also ring as well if you like. This way it doesn't interrupt us at all!
I would pay $$ for this
Yep id be willing to pay also lol
I third that!
Forth-ed!
And coming from me, that's really saying something!
I'm pretty cheap
fifth-ed
I'd love for this to happen too!
6? lol
i guess you would press clear to ignore the call?
I would totally buy this as well.

well, selecting the notification could open up a screen with accept/reject buttons?
What I'll often find happening with my HTC Desire S is that I receive a call on the phone, and as I'm rushing to get it out of my pocket I'm accidentally managing to swipe the screen, which rejects or accepts the call, when I didn't want to.
What's the best way to avoid this, given that I want to keep my phone in my pocket? I'd kind of like the screen to remain disabled when a call is being received until I press the power button at which point it becomes sensitive. Is there a way to do this or something which would avoid this accidental accept/reject of calls?
Is there anything built into Android that would allow this? An app? Or would it require development of a new app to get this kind of functionality?

i had the same problem on sense 2.1 lockscreen
try using the sense 3.0 lockscreen, i haven't had this problem on this lockscreen
a) How do I switch to the 3.0 lockscreen?
b) Why doesn't this problem occur with it; how is the design better?

a)you need to s-off then ROOT
then you can install a custom ROM with 3.0lockscreen(LBC mod or virtuous unity ROM) or just apply the lock screen from this thread
b)in the new lock screen you need to drag & drop the button in the ring so it doesnt get activated when you take the phone out of your pocket
Lately my phone answers incoming calls too easily. Just the slightest touch anywhere on the screen answers the call. The green dot means nothing anymore. I keep my phone in my pocket and now many calls are answered by simply pulling the phone fro my pocket. Is there a way to truly lock the screen or make it more difficult to unintentionally answer a call?
buy a cover,,,
Get a Samsung

You mean like lock in the box? That seems useless. I do have a cover. If moving the green dot answered the phome, that would be fine. But any touch to the screen answers it now. Something changed in recent updates.
I mean like a wallet type of case.
You have checked the phone setting that there isn't option to answer with a key?
Also some Accessibility setting might help...

I can't find any setting for answering a phone call. Several configuration settings have seemed to have been removed with recent updates. Not just with answering but also with data control.
Accessibility.. "motor and cognition" in my LG.
Touch control areas --> make most of the area in phone app not responding to touch.
Touch and hold for calls -> is it on? If not, try it and change the "touch input" time to much much longer..
These I found ... might work.. depends..

Thanks for replying. I do not have a touch control area setting. I do have a touch and hold delay, but changing that setting did not help.

Certainly isn't an issue on my fully updated, stock 4a. Check Accessibility settings. If no joy reset you phone
I switched my Dialer to a third party and the problem cleared. I guess the stock dialer just became too sensitive. Not sure why Google did that.
