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!
Whenever i make a honecall and press the green button the phones says a pretty loud BEEP. I really hate that and i cant find anywhere to turn it off.
I hope some of you wizards in here know how to turn it off?
Btw it's a HTC S730 i have.

When I am on a call the backlight on my Touch Cruise turns off - I don't mind this. The problem is that when I try to turn it back on it is extremely dim (even if the backlight setting is "bright") and I need to use "Adjust backlight" to make it brighter. In sunlight this is almost impossible to do since I cannot read the screen. Even after I readjust the brightness, whenever the backlight turns off and I turn it back on, the backlight is dim again.
I have tried renaming the \HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel folder to LockLevelx - this has not worked.
I have tried setting \HK:M\Drivers\Builtin\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 - this has not worked.
Help please!
Do you have this problem all the time or you can see this misbehaviour just now?
I'm asking, because this could be caused by some other software you installed on your device,
which does some "things" with the backlight or some call manager like PhotoContacts etc.
This happens all the time. It does not happen after I soft reset the device until I use the phone. As soon as I use the phone the backlight turns off and is dim whenever I turn it back on.
- Are you running some "cooked" unofficial ROM?
- if you are using HTC Home, try to deactivate it, just choose some different homescreen schema but not HTCHome, make a soft-reset a try it.
- check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel\LockLevel - this should have the value 0
- running standard ROM
- deactivating HTC Home doesn't help
- LockLevel is set to 0
This periodically happens on my device too. And it's really, really annoying. I found that one way to make it go back to 'normal' for a while is to change both lock levels (in locklevel and locklevelx to value 1) then back to level 0 (including the waiting and the soft resets) and then it seems to go back to normal again.
what seems to set it off for me is using the call history to dial a number, but this is sporadic.
Thank you Marissa and Hujer. Unfortunately both your suggestions have not worked.
I have had the same problem. What helped in my case is deleting locklevel and locklevelx from the registry and then soft reset. Worked for me!!
Thanks Tim B but that did not work either. If I soft reset my device OR delete locklevel & locklevelx and soft reset, then the backlight comes back on at the correct level of brightness....until I make and end my first telephone call - then the backlight only comes back on dim. By the way if I delete locklevel, it stays deleted until I make and end my first call - then it's in the registry (with value 0) again.

Exact same happens to me, using Bepe 64 rom. Real pain in the neck.
Possible workaround
This sounds very much like the same problem Trinity users have faced since that device was released. Try searching the Trinity Forums. There was a reg fix...something to do with "fast off" or similar.
The workaround there was, after the phone call, to press the power key to put the device into standby, and then when it wakes the next time the backlight is restored. Try that anyway.
No luck with this either.
I now have the same problem. My earlier solution (delete locklevel and locklevelx) is not working anymore. There must be someone who knows how to solve this.
I am willing to do a hard reset but then I will have the problem again that after turning the phone on when it is locked the display is not readable.
Any good solutions??

Exact same happens to me, using official rom.
I had to do a double reg edit, try this which is what I use:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"Sleep"=dword:00000000
Reboot!
Thanks but that didn't work either.
Just to be clear I do not mind the backlight staying on, dimming or turning off during a call but when I press "Call End", the backlight dims (which I do not want) and if the backlight turns off after a call it is dim when I turn it back on (which I also do not want).
Did anyone find a solution to this?
Have tried all the things on here, and some work for a little while, but then the problem reoccurs
Wow, this is so strange. Mine comes back on at the same brightness level.
You all are experiencing the same thing as Marisa?
It is an odd problem because it seems that it occurrs all of a sudden out of the blue.
One time you make/receive a call and afterwards, even if the call was only a few seconds, you terminate it and the screen either is already dim or then dims and will stay dim unless you hit a backlight changer. Even then, if you lock the phone, or the phone dims after your prescribed time, it then stays dim. The only way to temporarily fix it is to set it to the normal level and then soft reset. It will then behave properly until the next phone call.
It is very inconvenient as if it locks while this is going on, you can hardly see to unlock it.
I have trawled the internet for hours looking for solutions to this. The Kaisertweak does not work for this on this device (don't know why!) Installed Schapps but the very tweaks I need do not appear when installed on my device.
All the registry edits don't work. In fact when I go to do them, the value is already at the recommended value anyway. Renaming locklevel seems to work sometimes for a while, but then reverts back.
I think it is more a problem of undimming than dimming. It dims when I expect it to dim, but does not light up again afterwards. The Kaiser solution of pressing the power button or d-pad to do this does not work on the Orbit.
I have a fairly non scientific feeling that it's something to do with either Shell, Pontui or Co-Pilot. I have uninstalled Shell & Pontui, but it has made no difference. Makes no difference either if HTC Home is/isn't installed/running.
Another strange thing is that when it is in its dimmed state, I only have to touch the page where the backlight slider is for the light to come back up. I don't need to touch the slider at all, it's already where it should be, 3/4 of the way up.
In fact I have done the registry tweak which is supposed to stop it dimming during calls altogether, and checked to see that it 'took' and it is still happening.
Somewhere, there must be a registry key or somesuch which controls what happens after this "temporary" dimming, which says, the call is over/the device is unlocked - go back to prescribed brightness. But I can't find it.
This is a really insidious problem which drives you mad, especially when you are out and working, you don't have time for this nonsense. If all else fails in a week or so I will try a hard reset, i just don't have time right now.
Any help gratefully received.
I have just emailed O2 with this problem. Let's see when/if they reply.
i have an HTC BlueAngel wm6.5 (6.5.06)...
sometimes my earphones don't work during calls and I almost can't here a thing...
so if anyone knows how to turn it on, kindly teach me...
thank you...
hey there
whilst in a call, you should see on the dialer a button to turn on load speaker, if not it should be in options, but only during the call.

You can do this in the backlight settings in Settings, System, Power. Just set it to never turn off on battery power. This is obviously gonna chew the crap out of your battery, but that's how you do it.
Hope this helps
I allready did that, but isnt working, when i am on a call, it keeps turning off the light.
Any other idea what can I do??
