Help! ( Touch Pro 2, home screen reversion )

Hey all,
First, I'd like to say that so far the Touch Pro 2 is freaking awesome, but It's been doing something since I got it that is driving me up the wall;
So, say I'm in gsplayer or Opera, and for whatever reason, the screen turns off ( I hit the power button, it times out for power conservation, whatever... ). Whenever I turn the screen back on, the Clock in Touch Flow 3D shows up. GAH >_<
Is there any way to just open the phone back up to what I was looking at when the screen turned off? Help me XDA-Developers, you're my only hope!
-AceSmythe

update:
I went to the home configuration and disabled TouchFlo 3D , and it doesn't revert to the home screen when I reset
Does anyone know how to tell TouchFlo 3D to not re-assert itself every time I turn the screen on? I didn't see anything obvious in the registery
Thanks,
AceSmythe

I have a Touch Diamond 2 and i don't have this problem..
When i just hit the power button to turn the screen off, and 1 minute later when i turn it back on, everything is still the same as i left it. All the programs are still opened.
Maybe you hit the right 'hang up' key?? Because when you press it you go back to the homescreen

I'm pretty sure I know the difference between the power button at the top of the device and the hang up button near the bottom, thanks.
Anyone around who actually has a Touch Pro 2?

I have this issue with my Blackstone, using Duttys 3.9.
I have seen this issue before and as far as i have found out there is no soution to this. The only thing that could help is turning off the Msofts LOCK app. Unfortunately mine is on due to exchange security policy.
If your lock is not on, then im afraid i dont know

What does that app do and how would I turn it off?

I also went into the registry and disabled the Home tab for TouchFlo 3D, but the issue persists
( registry entry HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration\0\Enable , set to 0 )
To any who are curious, this appears to be a viable method of removing Home, Programs, and Settings from the TouchFlo 3D tabs. On my device, 0 is Home, 2 is Programs, and 12 is settings
On another note that's completely unrelated, don't install the SRSwow control panel if you don't have drivers/hardware for it. It completely crippled the speakers and mic on the phone, and Voice Command ( voicecommand.exe ) freaked out whenever I tried to start it. Luckily, removing the software through Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs and doing a full reset fixed everything
( above 2 paragraphs included for people Googling either issue )
Anyway, back to the home screen thing... any other thoughts?

If you are using the lock app (which locks the screen) you can turn it off/on by going to (on my HD) settings/all settings/personal/lock and disable it if enabled.
It may not help you, but is a known issue regarding this particular problem.

Have you unchecked the today timeout?
Go to Settings/Personal/Today/Items and make sure it's unchecked.

Yes and makes no difference, but cheers for the idea.

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried aswell
** Warning **
Do not install the TouchFlo Detacher, it WILL break TouchFlo on your system
See http://freewareppc.com/utilities/touchflodetacher.shtml , then avoid it like the plauge
-AceSmythe

Sorry for the lateness of this post, after a full wipe and reinstall of everything ( after the TouchFlo 3D disaster mentioned above ) the home screen does not assert itself anymore. Per suggestion, I did not enable the lock. I'd test turning on the lock and off again, but I don't want to push my luck
Thanks one and all

Mod Edit : No probelms, but no need for the final comment, so I have removed it

Now what would really solve this if you could check the registery to find the key responsible. I will have a look at mine in depth but i fear i will not find it.
Cheers.

I thought the "final comment" was worth a mention, it /was/ kind of insulting

I've been all up and down that thing and either I'm just ignorant of some term that I should be looking for or there's just no entry for it
Maybe someone could write an app to fix it or a replacement locking app

TouchLockPro G-Sensor problem with HD2?

I tried TouchLockPro.
It seems that it cannot read the HD2 G-Senor properly. From time to time, it gets the correct orientation, but most of the time its doesn't sense any changes. For example, I flipped the phone around (using the movement defined by the default setting) more than five times and I succeeded in unlocking only once. Is anybody else using it?

Everybody happy with the G-Sensor in Touch Lock Pro? I have no idea why it isn't working on my HD2.

No, it doesn't work reliably on the HD2. I tried it for a few days previously, and sometimes, it would become impossible to unlock, using G-sensor, Vol down/up or even the light sensor. So, I've uninstalled it.

I've been using it for a couple of months now and I've not had a problem. Seldom does it not respond first time when I get the gesture correct. It never fails to respond to the volume control. My only problem with it is that it clashes with Throttlelock after going into standby so that I have to remove the battery.

and i have no time when it responds correct;y...almosy everytime it mess up everything, so i am back to standart lock-by pressing the end key

Volume control? How does it work in TouchLockPro?

With default settings it will unlock by pressing Volume Down followed by Volume Up.

Ah! This is not listed as one of the ways to unlock (2.4 how to unlock) so I never knew that it was possible.

TouchLockPro on HD2 does not disable buttons in call
Hi, I cannot configure TouchLockPro to disable my hardware buttons when receiving an incoming call. I have switched on the Telephone API but still I can answer incoming calls using a button, which I try to prevent. I have played with the option of thye TAPI configuration screen without succes. What am I doing wrong? Who owns a HD2 and have it working and want to post the correct settings? Thank you.
regards, Danny Groeneveld

I have a Touch Pro2, and I have my G-Sensor set to unlock on upside-down, Portrait, upside-down, Portrait. What I've noticed is that it makes a difference HOW it gets down and then back up. For instance, it works fine as long as I rotate the phone (it's facing me) counterclockwise down and then clockwise back up. But if I rotate clockwise down and then counterclockwise back up, it never unlocks. Doing a clockwise rotate down and back up does work just fine if it's followed by either a forward or backward flip and then back up. But two full 360 degree turns in ANY direction don't seem to work.
Fortunately, I'm right-handed, so it's working out well for me.
P.S. This is one of the best apps EVER! Thanks SOOOOOOOOOOOO much to the author for developng it!!!!

Hard button end call

Per Cicada : "Just an fyi, this option is in the accessibility settings menu in froyo. "
-Thanks for the tip!
in "/system/usr/keylayout/s3c-keypad.kl"
change POWER to ENDCALL for a hard button end call.
I used notepad++ to make the edits.
Screen off/power off works like normal after you end your call!

Ok, the original is listed as:
Code:
key 58 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
What should it end up being? key 58 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED? Or.....??
edit: Ok, changed to above... at first it didnt seem like it did anything, but then I realized that I had to reboot it for it to take effect Now I just hope I dont accidentally hit that button in the middle of a call.

Yes

Also Pressing Volume UP+Power+Camera = Instant Reset for those who didnt know

Did you do this because the end call button stops working randomly after the proximity sensor is disengaged? I noticed this on my first Epic AND my replacement. Had to put the phone back to my head and pull it away to get the touch screen back to functional.

hrm
Actually no lol never had that issue.. I had a samsung moment before my epic and really missed the hard answer/end buttons, I travel and talk on the phone in the car alot, and didnt like to look at my phone to end the call.. I will figure out something for a hard button answering as well

I don't mean to be a smarta$$ but you didn't need to put the phone back to your head. You can just cover the proximity sensor with your finger. I know this doesn't pertain to the op but just fyi.

If this is an all around issue for epics then let me know people and I will relabel my post as a workaround

I have never had this problem on either of the two epics that I/wife own. So I don't think it's an issue for all epics. On the other hand though, this is very neat, and I wouldn't mind having a hard end call button. Thanks alot OP!

You. Are. My. Hero. I had no idea! What a time saver.

I was thrilled when I figured that out myself lol

Just an fyi, this option is in the accessibility settings menu in froyo.

Well that ends that topic...

Is this only in DK05 or 17? because I dont see it on my phone running DJ29... All it says is "No accessibility applications found. You do not have any accessibility applications. You can download a screen reader from Android Market. Click OK to install screen reader."

I did this fix in 2.1 and carried it over to 2.2, didnt see the change in accessibility

Click Cancel on the 'No accessibility applications found' prompt, this will drop you to the accessibility menu where the option is, a checkbox labeled "The power key ends calls"

I had that end call problem as well with my first epic and have the same problem with my replacement. How can I do this 'workaround' on my eclair? i dont have froyo.. running bakedsnack rom+kernel.. thanks in advance..

Just follow the instructions in the original post. Worked great on mine running syndicate 1.0.2/xtreme

This works great! I knew about the accessibility feature in the newer Froyo ROM, but never knew it could be applied to Eclair. EXCELLENT!
Also, the tip for Vol-up + Power + Camera was also an excellent tip for insta-reboot! Thanks boss!

Ugh I hateeeee that. And sometimes, the proximity sensor would act up while I'm on the phone and my cheek would end the call.
I hope it gets fixed lol

Use Home button as capacitive button?

Is it possible to use the Home button as a capacitive button?
I mean, I would prefer to just touch it instead of pressing it.

replace your stock AOD with this, and this automatically keeps the fingerprint sensor on without any effects on battery life.

For me this is unuseful. Lags and erroneous pressing.

There's a setting to have it go home immediately, instead of waiting to see if you're long-pressing.

The one problem it does have, though, is that it becomes impossible to take a screenshot.

What's the point of having icons on the lock screen?

I can't understand what the point of having the two icons on the bottom corners of the lock screen is. If you press them they don't do anything of course because the phone is locked. Can somebody explain this please?

You can remove them if they are such a nuisance, just saying..

You don't press them, you swipe them up providing instant access to those apps. I love the camera one... not sure why I'd need such fast access to the phone, though.

Thanks that works. DOH! But I have swipe lock set because I still have the factory plastic over my phone until my case and screen protector come. If you have a fingerprint or pin lock or password etc. how do you use those?
