Any way to lock screen phone buttons?

Is there a way to lock onscreen phone buttons?
Everytime someone calls, and diamond is in my pocket I either accept or reject call when trying to get it out of pocket.
So can I dectivate touch screen during incoming call?
Is there any tweak for this?
Greets guys

dont own a diamond but a quickfix...get bigger jeans.

No way... too big balls will bounce

resolved!!!
the fastest way to solve your problem is to install s2u2 (slide to unlock) newest version is 1.05 what i know...
so with the right settings when incoming call, you'll need to slide then answer/reject call or setup slide to answer or other.
its great i LOVE IT..

I just installed it... then uninstalled it 5 mins later because it looks GHASTLY!!
To lock the touch screen buttons you simply hold down the End Call button for a few seconds. Or is it the physical buttons that you're trying to lock?

You didn't get it
I want touch screen buttons to be locked DURING incoming call to be sure i wont press them when trying to put it out of pocket.
Even if diamond is locked, when phonecall screen appears, those buttons are ACTIVE and that is baaaaad
and S2U2.... doesn't work!!!
When incoming call, original diamond call screen appears and buttons are ACTIVE - su2u DOES NOT lock device during the call although there's option called 'slide to answer'

You are right: I do not get you.
At least I do not see your point. You want to have the phone locked during incoming calls? - how senseless is that. Especially in that moment I want to have it unlocked to be able to accept it. That is the way all my phones worked.
What do you do, if you get a call and have a your cell in the pocket? I never encountered such problems...

Jeeeeeeeezzzzzzzz !!!
In Diamond one can answer a call in two ways:
1. press onscreen button
2. press hardware button
Onscreen button can be pressed accidentaly while taking out of pocket, pouch or whatever.
So: All i want is to have onscreen buttons INACTIVE while hardware buttons ACTIVE so I can answer call ONLY by pressing answer HARDWARE button.
Tapping onscreen button will do NO ACTION.
Hope now everything is clear, cause my english isn't very good

^^and you made a joke when i offered my quick fix =P

I have the same problem that by the time I get the case out of the case i find that I accidently answered or hung up because I accidentaly touched the screen,I tried slide to answer but it is not working properly on the Diamond

This would be helpful, I have the same problem sometimes.
I'll look for a registry setting.

s2u2 not working?????
if its bad, ugly, or something, put an self image as backgruond, maybee that would cheer u up, im using version 1.00 that dosent got the slide to answer working good(beta), so i turned it of, then it worked great and i can still use hardware buttuns to answer, and if u dont like the apperence just remove background an d remove clock, all thats left is a black screen and the slider...

This thing with enabled screen answer/ignore buttons pisses me off too... May be we can install a new dialler without screen buttons?

Really no one cares?

i don't think it's about anyone caring. i think it's about the diamond being a new device and no one having the tricks/tips/tweaks yet. patience

I understand that. But if nobody care about an issue no one will look for the solution. I would install another dialer but i do not know how to uninstall the existing one.

Be great if you (or anyone else?) could find a hack for this - I have the same problem when taking the phone out of the case. It would solve my (our) problem if only the hardware buttons could answer/reject an incoming call.
Regards,
Gary.

Since nobody answered this thread anymore... Did someone find out? Or did you give up?

I need this badly, stupid on screen buttons always go off

I had the same problem but after i did this I had no problem anymore.
The answer button in default phone skin(WM6) is much smaller so the risk of accidentally reject or answer the call is not so high.

screen lock question

i have the pattern lock on, my question is if someone calls and i answer, once i hang up the screen auto locks again, is there a way to disable this?

that defeats the purpose of the lock. the lock is to keep everyone that doesn't know the pattern out of your phone. if someone did get a hold of your phone and a call came then all they would need to do is answer the call hang up and use the phone freely.

I believe, the scenario is this:
Even when the phone is not locked before a call, and regardless of whether the call is originated or answered, when you hang up the phone using the red button, it locks the screen. That means if I want to make 2 calls in a row, I must unlock the phone after each call is over.
This does not happen 100% of the time - I have seen a couple of cases when I hang up and the screen does not lock, but I have not been able to figure out how it decides whether to lock the screen or not when I hang up on a call. In my opinion, the screen should never be locked by hanging up on a call, unless it was locked when the call was answered.
This is one of the more irritating behaviors of the phone - I hope for a change to make the red button function be sensitive to the call state and not lock the phone when it is used to hang up.

Maybe the other party hung up before you pressed the "end call" button. This may cause the G1 to think you are locking the screen instead of trying to end the call. Try not pressing the end call button and just wait for the other party to disconnect the call. Not sure if it will work....its just a theory that I am too lazy to test..

this is the exact behavior i was describing and i too get the mixed results, sometimes it locks and sometimes it doesnt. i guess i will have to test out the theory of not eating end call and letting the other caller end the call.

How to stay locked while bluetooth handsfree connected?

Is it possible to tell the Diamond to stay locked with the screen off until unlocked manually while a handsfree is connected? I keep my phone in my pocket while driving and it unlocks itself when a call is in progress and then locks itself again, when the call finishes. But if anything is pressed, and it does if I even move a centimetre, it won't lock back again and will in most cases call back the person I've just had a conversation with.
Is there a setting I'm missing or would an application have to be used?

Use TouchLockPro

I have the same need and tried plenty of solutions, no good so far.
One of them was actually an early version of TouchLockPro, however it lacked an important functionality of treating locking as a mode. It has a "lock on incoming call" feature, but that's not what I need because most of the time my phone is on the desk and shouldn't lock on every incoming call. What I need (and I guess IceBone is with me on that) is just a way to make sure that when the phone is locked - it just stays this way till instructed otherwise...

TouchLockPro can be tuned to your needs, just disable autolockonpoweron and you are in control...

I will check it out.
EDIT: Sorry, but that's completely useless to me. There's a thousand other options that I had to disable, it didn't unlock itself with the power button, it also didn't stay locked on incoming call, even though I double checked I had that enabled, it also puts an annoying white square in the windows status bar, which covers the clock.
All I want is for the phone to stay locked on incoming and outgoing calls. If it can be set to only stay locked only while a handsfree set is connected (the phone does know the difference, it shows a nice little headset icon), it would be perfect.

This is the biggest issue with my TD...
Because of this issue BT headset is totaly useless (if device in your pocket or case).. After incoming or outgoing call need to check device for unwanted actions..

Well, if we get more people requesting this, maybe one of the devs could cook up a quick fix.

The white square is the inidcator that it is locked. The configured foreground and background color are reversed when locked.
I will put a convenience setting (Bluetooth) in the action screen on the wish list, so it will never unlock/lock when that mode is activated by te other unlocking methods. But there must also be way to unlock then. Maybe the Stylus still unlocks, so you can disable Bluetooth mode?

I will add this to the next version of TouchLockPro, a way to enable/disable bluetooth lock mode

Could you possibly release a cab that does only that? It would be perfect, it's the only functionality I want.

You can use StylusLock, which makes it possible to lock/unlock only using the stylus sensor. This can be used in combination with Bluetooth.
Also TouchLockPro can be used in combination with Bluetooth, but then you need to change more settings, but this is easy too, via the TouchLockAction settings screens:
- Light Sensor: Uncheck "Use Light Sensor"
- G Sensor: Uncheck "Use G Sensor"
- Nav Sensor: Uncheck "Use Capacitive Nav Sensor"
- TAPI: Uncheck "Use TAPI"
- Other Settings: Uncheck "AutoLockOnPowerOn"
Thereafter you can lock the phone by taking the Stylus Out and putting back in within 1 second and use Bluetooth for picking up the phone. If you take out the Stylus, it will also unlock.

But I would still have to take the stylus out if someone called and I wasn't connected to the bluetooth. Or is only the screen locked?

With the settings I gave, you are in control of locking. So if you did not lock the phone via the Stylus Out/In, it will not be locked, also when a call comes in or you power on (or external event) the phone.
From your response, I understood you only wanted locking with Bluetooth:

But of course, you can also use the capacitive touch area for unlocking and configure power on also as a locking means.
Other Settings: Check "AutoLockOnPowerOn"
Nav Sensor: Check "Use Capacitive Nav Sensor"
In the Nav Sensor screen you can fine tune your capacitive unlocking methods.....

Yes, the only thing I want is for it to stay locked until I unlock it manually when BT is connected.

Ok, so the settings I gave you will do that.

But will those settings be disabled when bt is disconnected and the phone will unlock on an incoming call?

The only thing you need to do, is lock it manually via the Stylus Out/In, when you want it locked (e.g. when using bluetooth).

Hmm i have the same problem , this sound very interesting. I did tried everything too. Nothing yet. The only solution is that "ZuinigeRijder" will find a fix or an addon. That would be really helpfull !!

It would still require me to fiddle with it when I connect or disconnect. I've been thinking and the light sensor could also be used, lock the screen/keys permanently when in the dark (pocket) and switch to normal when out. I suspect your program can do that as well, but it's just too fiddly with all the other unneeded options. Can't you delete a few lines and make just a simple locker like that? Wouldn't even need to have a status icon like it does now.

X1 Call menu alternative

Hello!
I'm having some problem with my X1 phone. When every some1 calls me my phone seems to answer or hangs up the call by itself when its in my pocket. Im guessing the screen is very sensitive. Is there any alternative call menu or some way for the keylock to stay on even when some1 calls?
Thanks

hey
as I'm not sure what rom you are on some feedback/options from mine
under start - settings - personal - phone - advanced (tab) there is a flag "Reject call with text message: <customizable message body>"
check if you find that and whether it is enabled
don't know whether there are additional options anywhere else
alternatively you can install/use apps, like Smart Lock (under settings - system when cooked in) to configure your lock screen behaviour, e.g. for incall|outcall|outcall connect
hope that helps some, will check for your feedback
best

I would start with making sure the X1 is 'face-up' when in your pocket. Meaning the phone's face is not touching your leg.
Similar to what DK said above, what ROM are you using? Even more specific, what phone dialer are you using? I know on occasion I have had problems with the HTC dialer on certain ROMs.

[Q] dual answering window

How come I sometimes see buttons, and sometimes has to use slider to answer? This is bugging me of totally.
I've had this problem from the start with stock rom to cooked rom!

No one has this problem too? I prefer the slider, and would want that to Always display. Cause when the phone is in my pocket it tends to answer or decline calls

I have the same thing. I believe it's because when your phone is locked, it's the slider. When it's not locked, there's the buttons

There must be a solution to this; I hope. I want to use sliders only, since the phone answers itself when in pocket and the buttons are on display.

Well its the way it is because when it's in your pocket, it should be locked, therefore activating the slider feature... I'm sure there is a way to always use the slider...

The problem for me is that it's answering while I take it up, so I rarely have a moment to see if it's slider or buttons. But when it's on the table it's mostly slider. Hate the buttons. But with an app I use (full screen caller id) I get to slide, but the problem is while answering I have to slide through the app and then either slide again or push the button. Which is killing me... have written to the app developer about this a week ago, with no answer or update. So how do I change so I always use default answering mode as slider??
