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.
I held off from posting this, because I can't seem to find a reason why it's happening.
Basically, I'll get a phone call. I'm close to the phone, and have no problem answering it immediately. But maybe 3 out of 7-8 calls, I can't answer it. It'll just keep ringing until the calling party gets my voicemail. I hit the green phone button, the left menu button (for answer), even the word "answer" on the bottom of the touch screen itself. No matter what I do, the call will not pick up. Keep in mind, there is no Bluetooth involved. If I do happen to have a bluetooth earpiece on, I can hear the call ringing in the earpiece, but pressing the action button doesn't pick up the call like it should.
I'm at my wits end here. What could possibly be causing this?

Is your memory getting junky? I presume that the call application takes a lot of memory that it got full and had nothing left to take your response back Im not sure though. Do you ever get complaints like no signs of an Incomming call when people call you? I get it sometimes and still exploring to find a solution.

The only 3rd party app I have installed is Opera Mobile. I only run it when I need it, and always use the "exit" option. I keep my phone as fresh as possible by killing unnecessary apps. The only things that stay open are my threaded message chat and Outlook.
As for your missed call (straight to voicemail), this happens to everyone not on 3g. For some reason, voice calls will not go through when there is net access. I don't know why this phone can't prioritize. My BB Pearl had no problem with that. If I was loading a webpage, it would simply pause the download and the phone would ring. Not sure, but maybe it has something to do with EDGE. I don't think the Treo 750 has EDGE capability...
The 750 definetly has EDGE, but it's usually CDMA phones with 1x that have the issue of not being able to take a phone call while transfferring data. It does sound like you could have another lemon 750 on your hands.

My experience wasn't as bad as yours. It just took a very long time between seeing the ringing icon and the time the phone actually rings, and then a long time between pressing the answer button and the time the call started.
I upgraded to WM6 and from the few calls I received since it appears the problem is now resolved and the 750 behaves like a normal phone.
Hope this helps.

I am having the same problem if you come up with a fix please let me know. the only thing I found that helps is to make your phone ring longer to give you a better shot at answering. here is a link to this fix

I'm using "Dutty's TouchFlo Rom 2 Final" on my tilt, but am facing problem with call end key. It doesn't respond during call and even in sleep mode...
I installed Tilt keyboard fix but no success..
Any help would be appreciated..
Regards..
I tried original ATT ROM... I think its hardware problem... coz when I press repeatedly it works... Can anyone help me out or tell me any solution..
Function design issue!
It is a design issue. To end a call you must either press the End Call (Hang-Up) button twice or press and hold on it. From a design stand point, this would prevent inadvertent hanging up on your caller while holding onto the phone and just clicking the hang-up button by mistake. At least that is what I was told by HTC.
Thank you so much asfoor. But sometimes i just end call with a single click and some time I have to press hard to end the call, same is when it goes to sleep mode...
I don't have that issue on the TyTN II. If it happens with different ROMs, then it's a hardware issue -- probably something in the contacts area.
it means i have to open it
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.
Hi. I've got a GPS aplication running on my WM6.5 cellphone (chinese clone:TOPS A1 TOUCH). The navigator works properly until I receive a call. When I answer the call (my cellphone is connected via bluetooth to a PARROT) the screen starts turning off and on every 30 seconds. This way it is not possible to go anywhere usin the iGO, of course :S. Even when the OS power saving settings are disabled I get this funny behaviour.
I guess that should be possible to prevent the cellphone to power down the screen while a call is being done. Maybe there exist a registry key that can be modified... I don't really know.
Any of you knows how to get rid of this issue? Any idea will be very appreciated.
Many thanks for your support, guys.
Cheers,
