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
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've uninstalled S2U2 because I'm running out of space.
I'm using a HTC DIAMOND P3700 and when I try to lock the device, as you can do before you install s2u2, the phone's screen goes black and instantly turns on again, so is completely useless, so this app let the unlock feature that HTC gives you by deafult unusable (I know it's not perfect or good looking, but I need it ).
¿Does anybody know how to restore my keybard and screen lock as it was by deafult? (Before installing S2U2).
Thank you in advance
I just upgraded to windows mobile 6.5 on my htc touch dual. I don't know what happened, but now when my phone goes to sleep or i put it to sleep, when i turn it back on it's stuck in the lock because it will not let me slide the lock thing. I'm not sure why its doing this, but i also know that when i first turn my phone on from a reset or something, the first error is "quickdial cannot be opened. cannot find one or more components...." or whatever, then after that there is another error "touchflo is already running". is there anyway to view and disable the startup processes? i've searched all over and cannot find a way to view the startup processes. And this lock thing really sucks cause i have to keep rebooting evertime it goes to sleep. Thanks in advance!
I have been looking around the forum and the register editor to find any solution for my problem, which is:
Everytime my phone goes to stand by and I turn the screen back on and unlock it, it shows manila's home (today screen), and i want it to show the last window or program I was using.
For example using G-remote, I'm controlling my PC and I leave it for a while.. it locks by itself after some time and goes to stand by, so when I unlock it I have to open G-remote again from the taskbar, I want to change that but what butters me the most is that G-remote sometimes fails connecting after that, something that didnt happen if it opened right again from the lockscreen.
Please help me..
Things ive been noticing:
-The today timeout option doesnt work, no matter if it is disabled or set with a very long time, it always brings me back to the today screen
-If i lock the screen manually (start menu->lock) this doesn't happen, it only happens if i let it or make it go to stand by
-There is another thread about something like this on a touch pro but a lil bit different, my device goes to today screen even if touchflo is disabled, the one on the other thread didn't, so it's a windows registry issue of today's timeout.. i guess...
I know i wasn't the only one with this problem so i'm going to post the fix here:
I installed the Smartlock 2.0F and disabled the Autodevicelockenable (0).
So here's the link to the thread with the cab that fixed it and i hope people with this problem find this or that post.
