Hi all,
After a phone call i often see that a lot of programms has been launched accidentally due to the contact between my ear and the touch screen.
does anyone have a tip to automatically lock the touch screen during a phone call ?

Lol, my ear once accepted another incoming call from this girl that I was avoiding for ages... and I didn't even realise I was talking to her, thought it was my other mate.

Ouch!
If i'm not wrong, S2U2 can turn display off during a call. Great software!
I've tried two progs more: PhoneScreenLock and InesoftAddressBook.
Inesoft provide many features including display switch off during a call.
Phonescreenlock keep the display on showing info about the call, locking the screen.. but with long conversation you may frie your ear

Any updates on this one please? I have the same problem with running gazillion apps on my Polaris with my ear in call as benjb did.
Tried PhoneScreenLock - did not work well for me because its buggy (the lock screen pretty often appears somewhere BELOW the in-call buttons or start menu and needs to be switched to via closing in-call screen, which obviously renders it useless).
The InesoftAddressBook is not an option either, cause I already have other address book app and would like to stick with it (BTW my current address book has "slide-to-pick-up-call" feature, which makes me afraid that it would conflict with S2U2).
Sadly the Polaris doesn't have motion or light sensor... It would make my life sooooo easier with ZuinigeRijder's TouchLockPro...
So any ideas on what else I could use please? Thanks!
two things...
1) Are you aware that after you answer/make a call but before you put the phone up to your ear you can press the power button (not press & hold, just press & release) which will turn off the display, but not disconnect your call (or, turn off your phone)? No stray on-screen button pushing this way! With the screen off the "end call/hang up" button still functions and when you press it the screen will come back on immediately. If you need to access your address book or make a note etc during a call, press & release the power button and it will turn the screen back on and not effect your call in any way. If your phone is set up like mine and it returns to the home screen each time the screen is turned on, then simply press the green phone button and the dialer comes back to the top.
2) If #1 doesn't do it for you and you need software to accomplish this, then search this forum for MissedCallReminder (just like that - no spaces). Besides having an option to "lock screen on connect" it has a very handy feature (the main feature actually, as the name indicates) of being able to set up repeat reminders for missed calls and missed sms messages. Very handy. It can be setup to run automatically at startup so you don't have to remember to start it up manually. It also automatically unlocks the screen when you end your call.
Turned out I had bookmarked the app, so here's a link:

Hello
When I take my HTC Touch pro out of my pocket, I always press on the answer key of the touch screen. And sometimes I don't know that I did that. So the person who calls me, can hear me and that isn't funny.
Is it possible when I receive an incomming call that I first have to put my device on and then press on the answer button of my touch screen. Or without putting the device on and press the hardware button te answer my phone?
(I also have the S2U2 application, is it possible with that application)
thanks in advance.
Have a read of this thread, more than one surgestion has been posted

Hi;
I have the HTC S640. The included key lockout works great to disable the phone while it is idle - so no problems there.
It's when I get an incoming call - the softkeys light up and are enabled. So as I pull my phone out of the holster or my pocket, it tends to accidentally push the buttons as they are out from the phone a little. So I hangup or prematurely answer a call.
is there software that will lock out these keys? or maybe a regedit to disable the buttons (softkeys) till I unlock the phone?
any suggestions (other than get a new case) are welcomed.
no ideas? love the phone, just don't need the buttons activated till I unlock and answer the phone - or answer with the bluetooth set
I read somewhere that TP2 can automatically go to voice mail / not ring when you put it on a flat surface face down. Sorry if I missed this anywhere but is there a tweak or setting to do this in Raphael. Thx
bump, anyone?
Just spent 2 mins searching for you... It would apear that you can mute the phone by turning it face down when it starts ringing, but leaving it face down doesnt mute it (ie the act of turning it over silences it). To do this you need to change the registry, you can find the right key to change with a quick search.
Can't seem to where to access this feature. When someone calls, I want to be able to answer the call without touching the phone. Is there a way to enable this feature?
Open the phone dialer app. Then press more in the top right corner of screen. Then hit settings and that should open up the phone answering settings, you want to press answering and ending call to turn on the feature.
