Hi,
what i want to do is disable the touch screen dialing so that i can only start a phone call by pressing the "pick up phone" button. is this possible?
reason being is because whilst looking through my contacts and menus it is so simple to accidently start a phone call when i dont want to.
this must be a common complaint surely?
thanks

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.

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.
Hi all,
I usually need to use the numeric keypad when I'm in a call. It's annoying that its hidden by default and you have to press a button to bring it back.
Are there any dialer apps in the store that let you always see the keypad during a call?
Thanks!
Cheers

Using an AT&T LG G5 with android 7. (but posting here because the question is NOT LG specific, tested and observed same behavior on a Nexus 6P with android O beta).
So android has this neat "Screen Pin" feature so I can open the dialer, pin that screen and hand the phone to a friend who can make a call without access to anything else on my phone.
Sounds great but here is what actually happens: with the screen pinned, I can enter a number and press the place call button, the phone will show a message that you need to press the back and overview buttons to unpin the screen, the phone call screen will NOT come up, but the phone will actually place the call, so you are in a call but without a screen so you can't even hang up.
That makes the screen pin feature pretty useless for phone calls.
So does this work for anyone else? any suggestions that might make this work?
(not earth shatteringly important, but a nice feature to have if it actually worked).
Thank you
