Anyone else find this irritating? Each time I'm during a call, the screen goes blank. If I need to use the keypad or switch to speakerphone during a call, i first need to press the home key which turns on the screen, and then use any of the on-screen buttons. Even once the on-screen has been activated, and say I'm using the keypad, after few seconds the screen goes blank again, and I need to do it all over again...
Any way to get around this?
Yea its freaking annoying but i don't know of any solution for this. In the Raphel Tweaks thread many different things have been tried and failed so maybe something will come up soon enough
You can try tweak from Diamond forum - afair there was thread regarding this issue and some fix was provided.

yea i did try it. but it didnt work on the touch pro..
I'd be very interested in a solution for this too. Pretty annoying.
I would just like to bring this thread back to the surface, to see if anyone has had any luck with fixing this yet. Very Annoying bug...
NoSleep!!!.cab worked for me, searchsearchsearch... I think Shinobi made it, sorry if I'm wrong on that.

Hi,
I've got a problem with my Trinity, where if it rings and I pull it out of my pocket, sometimes one of the buttons gets pushed as it rubs past the material, so either the call can be hung up on or it gets answered before I can see who's calling.
I also get a similar problem if a calendar alarm goes off, or if there is a text message. Sometimes these can be dismissed before I get a chance to see what is causing the notification.
I guess this is a problem on many PPC phones which dont have a cover. Does anyone else experience this?
Does anyone know of any way to solve this? Perhaps having a secondary lock button which needs to be pressed before the hard buttons become active or something like that...?
I guess it would need some software installed, as I havent found any way to do this through the normal settings.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Cheers,
Ben
My Jasjam comes with a screen lock. Once this is activated you first need to press the unlock button which gets assigned to the left soft key followed by another button on the screen. Quite effective I would say.

Hi,
Is this the same as the "Device Lock"?
My phone has this too, but it doesn't work for when there is an incoming call...ie you dont have to unlock the phone first to press the green "handset" button.

Hi Ben,
I have been having the same issue as you with my Jasjam. I tried using a hard case which was just too bulky and annoying, so I've since used something like those iPod socks and just keep it in my pocket. I just take extra care when pulling it out so it doesn't knock the green answer key. I think this is just something we're just going to have to get used to unfortunately.
Hi guys, I find this quite annoying and wish there is a mod for this. I don't know about other HTC Touch Pro owners but i find my fone quite sensitive.........it's "EASILY" turned on by a single "SHORT" press of the power button.
I didn't even hold it for 1 second, if i suddenly press or tap on it really quick, for not even a second, it turns on.
In case ppl don't understand and tell me that maybe my fone was on in the first place but just have the backlight off, and with a single tap on the power button, the backlight goes back on again. I knew that already. But what the problem really is, is that it's totally off, and when i tap the power on button, it turns on, i.e it vibrates and shows the welcome screen and all that other startup animation.
Is there a way to increase the delay of the finger-press on the power button? Coz it's so annoying that it gets turned on when i don't want it to, especially since this fone's weakness is that it hogs battery even though i've already applied tons of tweaks etc to lower the performance and increase battery life......
Oh and i have another problem, i find the signal kinda weak, is there a program or tweak to increase the signal?? Coz on my old phone Sony Ericsson W950i, the signal is great and I never have bad signal problems with it. But using HTC Touch Pro, i have this problem. This only happens when i'm at Uni, but it's not like they have bad reception or signal blockers there like how schools or colleges have. Just that when i'm inside buildings and there're tons of other buildings around, i can't send the txt coz of bad signals and it's bloody annoying, but using my W950i works fine.....
also I noticed that when i type a txt message using the hardware keyboard, it seems to fail to send most of the time, but only when i'm in UNI. But if i switch to the software keyboard, the one that you use ur fingers or stylus, then when i send the message it often works compare to using hardware keyboard.......any ideas?
Problem No 1: Try Touch Lock Pro
Problem No 2: Try to burn the newest RadioROM.
thx but i'm not trying to lock my phone, so i don't think TouchLock Pro is what i need.......
My Raphael turns also on after pressing the power button for a little few moment. With touchlock Pro you can prevent that you mistake your Raphael. I hope you can understand what I write in my "own" english
Ok so i've got it installed now and went through all the settings but couldn't find anything that can delay the power-on button press, I still have this problem. The app is a screen-lock app, there aren't any options regarding to power-on delays.......
plz tell me what settings etc to use.
I've never said that you can fix your problem with TouchLock Pro. With this you prevent to use your Raphael when you press your power button accidentally.
ya but that's only useful when my fone is on and it locks the phone but i'm trying to prevent my fone from turning on in the first place if i accidentally press the power on button for not even 1 second, because then it will turn on and i don't want that.
same problem here...the phone I thought I had turned off was back on, because accidently it got touched by something else in my luggage.
The only solution which to me is unsatisfactory, is to take out the battery so that it cannot power up.
C'mon...there has to be a better solution than this, no???

wow yay finally someone else other than me also report having the same problem, boy am i glad to know that i'm not the only one having this problem, i thought it was just something wrong with my fone and not all HTC Touch Pros....
i can't believe there aren't any results on Google, no forum discussions or solutions to this whatsoever. Also, nobody seemed to report this problem or come up with a solution on XDA as well as other forums i use like PPCgeekz or WMusers etc.........which is odd considering how this problem is quite annoying, that if u suddenly power on the fone by accident, it can drain battery life and god knows HTC Touch Pro has a crap battery life.............
I think that htc has done a bad job testing the powerbutton on the tp2.
There are some other things like weith, thikness and batterylife that could be improved but the powerbutton issue is realy a BIG bug.
Why they didn't make a slidebutton or a timeout between push and activation?
A dobble tap on the powerbutton could also be a solution.
The next rom shoold have a improvement about this button.
People, please react on the powerbutten problem so someone can fix this.
Thanx

Leaving the Touch Pro (Raphael) for some minutes without battery will stop the clock. So, when you put back on the battery and power up the device, the clock will display the wrong time. The time when you remove the battery.
This is hardware related.
Can produced different symptoms though.
Facts Behind the Power Button
If take a look at the inside of the powerbutton, there are 2 points making contact when you press the button. If you press it, the software will recognize this and the screen will turn off.
If you press it long enough you'll get the "QuickShutdown" message.
But, if water/alchohol/liquid gets underneath the button, the 2 points may be making contact, because water/alcohol conducts.
The button is very weak. Due to this, it may not properly work if you have used it for a long time.
As a result, despite the fact that you hit hibernate/sleep/suspend on the hardware power button = yes, the screen fades to black. But IT IS STILL ON. That explains the battery being drained.
Solution:
Open the phone hardware. Clean the power button connector manually.

i heart everyone talking about the sleep of death and to be honest, i havent really experienced this, but i definatley do have an intermitent power on and off button problem on my touch pro 2.
i read on some other forum that it could possibly be the slider that is casuing the problem. but to be honest, the button its self feels fine and looks fineand when i does work it works a treat. i havent had any water damage done to it what so ever. so im not sure , i am new too all this self help mobile stuff. so please excuse my ignorance. Ive doen the usual hard reset, button works for a few hours then calls it a day. soft rest, was working up until this week. i cant get ot to boot up again, while fiddling with the batter and a power lead. but the power button is so intermitent its driving me nuts. id be so grateful if anyone could shine any form of light on this. thanks in advance
I do not have auto lock turned on. I did load the VZW "clean up" cab. I can't figure out why sometime when I pick up the phone the lock is on, and other times the screen is simply turned off. I never hit lock, simply turn off screen or let it go off automatically.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks.
Are you sure you are not hitting the top button accidentally. That button will turn off the screen.
I do use the top button. It only turns off the screen though, not locks the device. I can use it, then hit it again minutes later and the device is fine. But sometimes I'll put the phone down or aside for a while, and when I pick it up to answer a call or something I'll find it has locked itself and I have to press the soft keys.
hmm... sounds strange, I gotta go with what the 2nd guy said, I will sometimes lock the device myself (the soft key for it is on the home screen after all and it's VERY sensitive). About the screen turning off, you sure it's not just going into it's timed sleep/standby mode?
hopefully this will be of some help...i too had this problem and then i realized what the cause of MY problem was...whenever i would receive a phone call and would let it go to voicemail, when i would wake the phone back up it would be locked...i cant remember if the same thing happened when i answered the call but i know for sure it would do it when i pressed ignore call or mute ringer and let it go to voicemail...SOLUTION:i downloaded a cab called disable auto lock (or sumthing like that) and it fixed the problem...hopefully that helps..

I've been trying to figure this out as well and came to the same conclusion. My screen is off, I answer a call, and when I hangup my screen is locked. I did a quick google search for disable auto lock and didn't have much luck. Can you post the name of the file and where you got it? Thanks
Not sure where I found it, I think PCGeeks, but it was called Disable_Auto_device_lock.cab
HOWEVER...it did not work for me. I may have to cold reboot (from scratch) as I've tried so many different cabs, things are getting messed up. I'm trying to hold off for the ROM update.
The phone will automatically lock if you miss a call. Sometimes if you pick up on the last ring the phone will consider it a missed call and still lock the phone. That has happened on my 6700, my 6800 and now my TP2, but this is the first phone that locks after a missed call. I actually like it becuase since I dont have a S2U2 or 6.5 on the phone it prevents butt dialing if I leave my phone in my pocket or soemthing.
I have noticed the same issue. I also noticed that it did not happen before I had installed the clean up cab. I had thought that the lock button was being hit while the phone was in my pocket.
Although the "Disable auto..." didn't work for me, I down loaded and am trying S2U2. So far, and if I'm not mistake, It did not lock me after a missed call, or answering a call.
I'm going to play with it for a while. Had something similar before on my old Q9c so if it works, great!
I just hope all these friggin cabs work when I update to 6.5, or I may not! The only real pet peeve I have about the TP2 is earpiece volume. If the cab volume booster doesn't work, I won't upgdate!
I have this issue as well. It seems to lock if the person that calls me hangs up before I do. It also locks if I ignore a call. I have had it lock in the middle of a call as well. Really annoying if I need to use the onscreen keyboard to enter information during the call.
I hope someone can find a solution for this. So far, it's my only complaint about this phone.
Well, I've been using S2U2 now for a couple of days. Getting to like it! My screen no longer locks, and I kind of like the Iphone type unlock. When a call comes in 2 nice large buttons for either answer, or end (ignore).
You may want to try it.
Mine does the occasional random lock also and when it does, it wants a password that does not exist. IF anyone knows what the standard password is, please let me know. I don't have one set and need to reboot when this happens. Really my only beef with the phone which hopefully gets fixed in 6.5
I have found that if I receive an SMS the screen will come on on its own. In those circumstances I have seen it lock the screen afterwards.
I am thinking it is a failsafe put into the phone for accidental button hits after the phone wakes up from certain activity but could be in a pocket.
I'm using sprint htc touch pro, using raph800 startup.txt.
When I turn off the android (not "off" but just press power to turn off screen), I can't seem to wake the screen back up, the real buttons (keyboard/volume) seem to work since I can hear them but the screen stays off. I have to soft reset it back into windows to be able to use phone again. I looked on around and found someone suggested changing the pm.sleepmode to something else, and I've tried them all and problem still persists.
Sorry if this isn't good place to post it, it wouldnt let me post in the android section where it's more relevant.
Anyone know of this problem and a fix for it?
edit: well a temp/probably permanent fix was to switch to the new gingerbread, guess this thread can be deleted now
Hello all,
Awhile back the touchscreen on my Sprint TP2 (RHOD400) was off. I click in one spot, it clicks an inch high. Sometimes more, sometimes less..I tried calibrating, but I couldn't even click the center target once. The problem stopped for awhile, then started up again last week. This time the problem is worse. I press in one area, it presses one to two inches away. I have the phone in landscape mode and try to press the upper right hand corner 'x' and it brings up the notification window. Sometimes the lower right part of my screen is completely inaccessible, and I cannot send a text for quite awhile. Other times it is fine, but not fine to the point where I can get super accurate clicks. I was running Mr.X rom, and flashed to Mighty, but this did not solve the problem. I have also cleared storage. I used to run haret android for awhile, would this have caused any problems? I thought I should try that again since I can force the phone to use a calibration.txt file that works for sure, and see if the phone is "fixed" then. I guess my options are...
Try haret android again
task 29?
reflash?
be sad, it's a digitizer issue
(tldr) Touchscreen is off, but not always by the same amount. Reflashing wouldn't cure it and I can't calibrate it. Targets keep going around and around after the reflash, where before I couldn't get them to click even once.
Maybe one of those will fix my problem..I hope so, but I posted here to see if anyone else had heard of an intermittent touchscreen issue like this?
Thanks for reading/help guys.
Can a mod move this to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=488 Touch pro 2/Tilt forum? I feel as if I posted it in the wrong forum and I'd get more responses in the other. Thanks!
Have you tried pressing the two volume buttons at the same time to get to that calibration screen. Then try to calibrate and see what happens. If this does not work for you then I would think its a hardware issue.
