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

Is there a way to disable touch keys when answering the phone ?
Right now when the phone ring, accidentally touching the screen may abort the call.

Get SU2U... it solves all the problems
SU2U looks nice but is useless in this case
The phone answering window appears above the SU2U lock.
HTC touch cruise is the first to have this problem because the screen is not sunken like in the older models. So when the phone ring is verry easy to accidentally touch Answer or Ignore soft buttons.
got the same annoying effect but with the scroll wheel.
use the s2u2 slide2answer option.
That way you dont accidently hit the answer button. you have to slide to answer....hence the name lol.
You rock !!
Thank you ! You rock man!
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
Bye

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:

Hi guys,
Situation is this… when a call comes in, the phone wakes up and the display is active to either answer or reject… but the problem is if the phone is in my pocket or shirt and I’m moving around or don’t hear it, the friction of the clothing will answer or reject it for me without me knowing…
Question: is there a way to deactivate the touch screen when a call comes in so I only use the hard buttons to answer or reject the incoming calls? When I say deactivate the touch screen, I still want to see the screen for the call display and stuff and not have it blank or black.
Any solutions to this? Thanks everyone.

This has been discussed in many other threads. This is the one I'd get, but you can look for other options.

there is also a slide to unlock (similar to iphone), but i'm not sure if this actually locks the "Call" key at the bottom

s2u2 does not lock the hardware buttons. I haven't had any problems with pressing the hardware buttons while the phone is in the pocket so I think that shouldn't be a problem.

thanks, this is exactly what I'm looking for.. ur a star.
I searched for about 30 minutes before posting this.. in both diamond and touch pro forums and all over here.. I figure this is a common issue, but still found nothing.
Is there any way to lock the touch screen during a call? I keep doing things with my cheek. I've written notes, assigned pictures to contacts, etc.!!! It's getting old. Anyway to fix that???
Press the standby button.
I intsalled the reg edit No_Sleep_Raph this stops the phone going into standby for voicemail or phone banking.
The phone will blank the screen depending on the power settings I have or standbye button.
If I accpet a call I normally press teh answer button and while putting it to my ear press the standby button
That maybe a solution...
I would think they would've done something like the treo phones..
They've got a setting to lock the screen during a phone call until you press a physical button... Or something like that. Worked great.
How difficult it would be to program something like that?
Have you tried this?

I haven't tried that yet. From what I read it seems like it will be good for not answering the phone inside your pocket... I didn't see anything about it locking
during a call... But I may have overlooked that, and I would assume it is one of the settings.
Can anyone confirm whether this program will allow you to lock the screen during a call and allow you to unlock it with a physical button?
Sorry, can't help you with that as it doesn't seem to work with the latest ROMeOS rom but IIRC you had to remove the stylus in order to use the touchscreen.
wrong post, sorry.
When I'm on a call on my Elfin, obviously the phone is pressed against my cheek. Because of that, random things get touched on the screen, which sometimes causes the caller being put on hold, call being disconnected etc. I'm okay with that, I should take care of that. But sometimes the whole call windows gets closed, which is very irritating. I have to open it all over again to hold/disconnect etc. a call.
Is there a way out of this? Possible solution: While on call, one must unlock the screen to use it, (eg. slide unlock, or a simple button press like the camera button or any other). Another solution, don't lock the screen, just lock the call windows, so that it doesn't get closed.
Maybe simple press the power button to put the screen off ? =)
