on the right hand side of my Vario, i always press it by accident when picking up the phone and it makes that horrendous beeping noise, then I have to close it down.
Is there software to make the button do nothing when pressed?

Disable Cyberon Voice speed dial app completely?
I have a rom that came with that app, and I hate it with a passion. everytime I try to use MS Voice command to dial to dial a number with my bluetooth it interferes. anyone know how I can make it not work other than switching rom... I like this rom.

Hi to all just like to ask how do i make voice dial calls when the xda executive flip cover is closed i tried andd it did not work
you need to have at least one entry in Voice speed dial, and should not have the buttons locked. (which is a bit dangerous since there are a lt of buttons to be pressed inadvertedly..)
Alternatively, use the BT headset call/end button to launch the voice speed dial. Obviously BT needs to be on (blue LED flashing)
Hi lutz
I thought the same but even with the buttons not locked it doesn't work on mine. Still keep having to open the lid an inch or so :x
Can anyone confirm if it should definately work with the buttons enabled (start, settings, buttons, lock, do not lock buttons)
Can Any one make the following app? Would it cost me? Does it already exist?
Usually, when your phone is in standby and you get a call, the screen turns on and you can take the call pressing the "send" button.
Is there an app for WM6 (or can some one make it) that can tweak the settings and I still have to press the "on" button to turn on the screen and the buttons?
Or is there a simple registry tweak for that?
Let's say a person cannot take the call accidently under any circunstances. The person doesn't want to press by accident the "take call" button and let the caller hear his conversation.

you can lock your phone by holding the disconnect button after you are done using it. It will ask for you to either tap an clearly marked button or enter a certain sequence of symbols (I believe it's ***).
This would be a native, and there non memory taking, solution

Thanks, but on my phone that is not helping... it lets you take the call anyway with only pressing connect button... thus insecure. Well at least on my phone. I want to have a hard time answering, and never answer by mistake.
btw, TyTN II
i agree i would like to have a program like this on my phone also..
i second that too.
thats something we NEED.
S2U looks promising but i cant get it set up so the send and disconnect button are disabled
Any helpers?
I can pay
Only real issue I have with this phone is that it is real easy to dial out accidentally.
Many times when putting the phone back in it's pouch or into my pocket I set the thing ringing.
I tried disabling the green phone button with AE buttonplus but if i'm on the contacts page and touch the green button it still rings.
An body have any idea how to disable the green button other than AE button plus (mentioned in another thread) or have any thoughts on a solution?
Cheers

Using S2U2 will prevent you from call accidentally, or as we call it: a pocketcall.
Thanks for the reply but the problem with S2U2 is it only works after it's activated by the timeout - before it locks the buttons are still active. But even with general handling of the phone it's just too easy to hit the call button especially when you mean to hit the left softkey.
I'll remember "pocketcall" tho...

I fire up s2u2 by hand before pocketing it and never had any problems
just block the screen by pressing end call for +-3 sec.
If you have enabled the lock then the suggestion by zuadao, does not work! What I do instead is, before I put it in my pocket etc. I press the hard botton at the top to switch it off!
Thanks guy's - these are all OK if you can get into the habit and if you are putting phone away - but, like I said, it's also a problem in general handling of it when it's in use.
For me, the best would be to disable single press call - but i'm struggling to do it.
I do appreciate the answers tho

This is what I also do, works a treat. Would be nice to hold it for 1 seconds though instead of 3.
I use gyrator 2. I flip my mobile face down and it will lock automatically and turn off screen. I am lazy to push +- 3 secs end call.....

Good tip, I will try that
(my first post)
What i usually do is to press the top on/off button to turn off the screen before putting into my pocket.
Another option is the "auto lock" feature in HD Tweak. It locks your phone each time you turn the screen off, which alleviates having to hold the end key down for a few seconds.
Best oh yes by FAR the best solution is TouchLockPro
Hi there,
I am a little ticked off with the way the phone switches the light off and you HAVE to press a button to get it back up when in the middle of a call.
Is there any way to keep the phone awake while on a call? Ofcourse, I HAVE tried out "Shake Awake", but thats a little buggy too.
And also, the buttons for Hold, Mute, Speaker mode and all those options come up only when you press the menu button. Is there any alternate dialler available or something which can get all these options on the screen while on the call like the iPhone as its easier to use it than press the button to get the options?
just install keepscreen.
edit: this will keep the screen alive. about the alternative dialer i don't know. but be aware that the phone has no proximity sensor, so you are prone to accidentally press random buttons.
Cool. Will check it out man. Thanks.
I have a different problem - since, sadly, Hero has not got a proximity sensor, I constantly drop my calls by accidently touching the end call button with my cheek. I believe that's a reason the screen backlight goes off so quickly during a call - when the screen is off, it does not react to touch too, so that accident call drops would be less likely.
There are still some serious problems though. First of all, screen timeout during a call is not short nough - while you can know that you must wait a few seconds before you can actually touch the phone with the face, others can't, so call drops are, sadly, unavoidable in such cases. The fact that hold, mute and other buttons are hidden under the menu button is a good thing not only because it keeps Android phillosophy straight, but reduces chances of unwanted misc. actions. The solution of this problem could be an option to disable the end call button, since there are dedicated hardware keys for that.
I have also noticed that if you minimize the dialer during a call with home button, the screen timeout will not be quick, so before continuing a call it's a good idea to bring the dialer back by tapping the hardware call button so the screen timeout becomes quiick again.
Very true. I thought about all these before I posted, but on the other end, I just said 'f it' to myself and asked it here.. hehe.
I wonder if iPhone users have such issues.
As someone in this forum mentioned, it is best to have the screen switched OFF during a call, unless you have something to do. This way, it prevents you from fiddling with the controls.
Not just the hero, earlier models too have this feature. It quite odd in the beginning, but you will love it later.

Not necessary!
During a call
- Press "Call" to hold (will also mute)
- Press and hold "Call" to activate speaker mode.
When I make a call the screen goes black and is nonresponsive. Call to Voice mail and I cannot see the number pad for entering code, and cannot use the End Call button either. When making a call to anyone, I cannot use the End Call button. Everything is great in the Contacts and Dialer, until the call starts to dial. Then goes completely balck and non responsive, almost as it detached.
Has anyone any experience with this problem and found a solution?
Thanks

Perhaps an issue with the light sensor? The phone thinks its up to your head?
Stock ROM?

Did you find a solution? I just ordered and received a Star Note 3 from Merimobiles and have the exact same issue. I have to take the battery out in order to get it to disconnect the call. I think that the light sensor must be messed up because I'm also having an issue with the backlighting on the soft keys on the front of the phone. Of course, I can't really verify if there is even backlighting on these keys, but it seems like a really bad oversight if there is none.
