Hi
My pocket pc keeps answering calls in my pocket due to the sensitivity of the touchscreen (windows answer button gets pressed by mistake). I have searched alot but haven't found any key lock software that keeps windows locked even when the phone rings. I have tried S2U2 but that software messes up my phone in general.
So what I'm looking for is basically a software that locks the phone's touchscreen and keeps it locked even when the phone is ringing and lets me answere the incoming call with the hardware buttons only or something similar.
So, you guys know of any solution for my problem?
I would try to figure out what is wrong with s2u2, because most people here would swear by it.

Is there a setting to silence the phone on an incoming call when the phone is locked? Pressing the volume up or down WON'T work with me.
Thanks in advance.
i just tried on my phone several times from different numbers and it works fine for me.. both buttons too
Were you using any program such as manic AutoKeylock? or you just held the end call button to lock it?
Maybe I need to reset it but I didn't install any programs.
just end button i did not think i needed a program to autolock my phone
silence
Hi,
when somebody calls me i would like to silence the ringtone and not hangup. (on sonyericsson you press the side key for volume)
pressing volume up or down doesn't work for me either. is there a place in settings where you have to enable this feature? (i sure couldn't find it )
I would like to confirm that a hard reset fixed the problem! Pressing volume down while phone is locked SHOULD silence the phone by default.
Could be some software glitch that messed it up in the first place.
Figured out the problem. It seems to me that when there is an active connection, i.e EDGE is connected and it is showing in the near the cell signal, you WON'T be able to silence it by pressing a volume down.
If you go to connection manager and disconnect Edge by pressing 6, then lock it and let somebody call you, you WILL be able to silence it!
I have tried the above three times to confirm it. Seems pretty messed up if you ask me!
If you know how to solve the problem, please let me know.
Anybody figured out the problem (Read above)? I will paypal you $20 if you can get this to work!
Really, why did they mess it up like that when my previous phone, SDA, worked!
Sometimes, about an 80/20 split, the s2u2 program doesnt correctly lock the phone.
The red discon/power key allows the unlocking of the phone.
When it is working, if I press the red button, it turns the backlight off like normal and s2u2 locks the phone and can only be unlocked by it.
Anyone know of a fix or a setting I have wrong? Reseting doesnt help, and I cant figure out why it works sometimes.
The developer is aware that this problem exists for some devices and stated that there is no fix for this problem. I liked the program but removed it after I found out there would not be a fix for this.
doesn't bother me so much
I too use the s2u2, and i noticed that i get the same thing. However, since all other buttons lock, and use the end key to unlock, I thought it was a normal function. As of v1.01, i still use it, enjoys it, and will continue to use it. When the my 750 goes to sleep, I hit the end key twice, and it comes back to life. Didn't expect any real problems withthe phone dialing itself when it's in my pocket, so for me at least, it works the way it supposed to.
Just my two cents.
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
Hi,
It gets really annoying when I return home and notice that while I was driving I accidentally send some e-mails and made some phone calls to unknown and known people...
This has happened because the BT answer button was pressed, the phone woke up, and it was "touched" in various places making a "costly" mess.
I have also installed S2U with S2A but still the phone wakes up..
How can I stop this???
any help will be appreciated!
PS: I use a Touch Diamond.
I guess either there is not a way to do that, or my mediocre english didn't help anyone understand my problem...
Do you have any third party software installed? If yes, most probably it's due to software incompatibility that caused your diamond to react in this manner.
"HKLM/Software/OEM/VoiceCommand/Path" is what is carried out when the bluetooth button is pressed. Just delete or change the value.
Next time use the q&a section for this type of query.
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.
