My XDA Mini S (Wizard) gets locked into the Call History screen and I can't get out of it. If I press the [phone button or activate the phone app from standby, it brings up the call history screen, not the keypad screen. The (soft) menu options are Call and Menu. Menu only has filtering settings or clear calls. There appears to be no way to get back to the keypad.
Help !! :?
TIA, Davebo.
Soft reset?
Yes, but...
Thanks, I have ben soft resetting, but it's not a quality solution is it?
At first I thought it might have been because I had no signal, but it isn't.
I think a firend has a similar problem on his Exec (Universal)
Aha!
Look like the unnamed app I was killing off in Task Mangler may have been the Phone app. Hence no keypad.
Since I stopped killing this app (which doesn't appear all the time) I haven't had the problem.
Cheers, DBo
Every few phone calls on my 8525, I notice that when I am done, and hit the end button (on screen, soft key or red phone button) the phone will not hang up...even after the other person has already hung up. I can keep hitting the buttons, but nothing registers. Everything else on the phone still works just fine, I can exit the dial pad, and get into any other menu, and the phone icon is still showing by the signal strength indicating a call is still in progress.
Anyone else experience this at all? Any suggestions?
I sometimes get the same thing, but I have no solution aside from the little "in-and-out" routine with the stylus and the reset hole.

Same problem here as well. Sometimes the call will go for 20 - 30 seconds after the other person has hung up.
Maybe it is cingulars way of getting us to use more minutes!!
same for me too...I figured out that my Cingular 8525 only does this when I am out of a 3g area. Every time that my phone displays the G icon and I'm on the phone it won't hang up for another 30 sec. after my conversation has ended...it is annoying...
This is getting annoying. I'll be driving alonng, phone in it's case, and invariably a calendar reminder or email notification will turn the phone on. And since the green talk button comes out farther than the other buttons (what a stupid design decision) it easily get's depresed against the case, the first time starts the phone app, and the second time calls my last dialed number. I've wasted countless airtime minutes due to this happeneing.
So is there any way to keep the phone off until I press the power button (to have no alerts/notifications turn on the phone, the only way the phone would turn on from being in sleep mode is the power btton being pushed or an incoming call) OR can you disable the "Call last number dialed" feature of the green button being pressed when the phone app is active? I want to be able to pres it once to bring the phone up, but I don't want it to start auto dialing when pressed twice.
lots of tricky problems, i deal with them by locking the phone, or more recently using "s2ul" which is slide to unlock. It works really well and is customizable.
Search the tweeks posts to see if anyone has what you need as far as killing the notifications. They wake me up at 12:00 AM when they aren't even until 12:00PM! hahaha
Thank you for this post.
I thought I was the ONLY one with this issue.
It is driving me crazy. Last weekend I even bought a #7 torx and disassemblied the phone to modify the call button. I ended up putting it back tgether after nearly destroying the rubber 'mat' under the keyboard. The mechanical fix is harder then I thought.
Slide 2 unlock does NOT fix the problem. For some reason, just as the phone wakes up, if the SEND button is pressed, it TURNS OFF slide to unlock, and redials the last number.
Very annoying to me AND my friends that get the calls.
The only real fix I have found is to set a 'lock' and use a time of ZERO. But that is annoying to have to always enter a pin number.
No one has a fix for this? It has to be a very common issue
Use the stock phone lock application.

Slide 2 Unlock is the only solution I have found. S2U2 can be assigned to one of your buttons (I use the record button) and you can keep the programs active (i.e. MP3 music keeps playing) or press power to close.
You may be able to edit registry keys, I will look into where that is.
SOLVED (sort of)

S2U2 does NOT work.
The SEND button can override a 'lock' and it somehow turns OFF S2U2. Makes it worthless.
BUT
VJDeviceLock looks like a reasonable solution.
It reliably turns on the device lock on each power up.

Actually, I installed S2U2 and it worked fine.
If the phone is off, notifications will NOT unlock the phone. While locked, pressing the green talk key does nothing.
So it solves the problem. What "send" key are you talking about that closes S2U2?

On my xv6800, if the green send key is pressed in my case when the notification wakes up the phone, it turns off S2U2. Now that it is awake, if the button is released and pressed a few times by accident in the case, it redials the last number.
I've repeated this over and over on mine. That was with the original Verizon firmware, and with a DCD rom upgrade.
If the phone wakes up and S2U2 is fully activated, THEN the green send button is pressed, it does nothing. It is only a problem if the button is held down by the case at the times it wakes up. Which has been often enough to make a number of calls by accident.
Please try to duplicate that. Maybe I have a S2U2 setting wrong, but I couldn't get it to lock reliably IF the green send button is pressed when it wakes up.
Yea, I should get a different case, but I really like this one.

I just tried it both ways. I set a calender event, turned the phone off, the reminder woke the phone up to the S2U2 screen, I hit the green button, nothing happened.
I then set a calendar reminder, shut off the phone, held down the green button until the reminder came up, and while the reminderf didn't clear away like it usually does, S2U2 did not close, the phone app did not open, and no call was made. I have S2U2 1.0
ive tried to too, S2U2 keeps the phone locked
the only thing even close to what worwig describes i can get is if i put the phone into sleep mode and bring it back out immediately while rapidly hitting the talk button, it opens the phone app before s2u2 pops up, but it never actually calls anyone (s2u2 locks it before then) and its only if i put it to sleep and wake it back up immediately (if i keep it in sleep mode for more than a second or two s2u2 is already up when it wakes up)
Well, I'll need to try it again.
But the last time I did my brother disowned me.
Oddly enough, I have been using VJDevicelock for a couple of days now. I am on an exchange server. They have a policy in effect that forces a password lock every hour. With the VJDeviceLock installed, it no longer asks for a password. Odd.

do you have /Settings/Key Lock set to "Lock all buttons except Power button"? That could potentially cause a problem for you with S2U2 if it is not.

Yes.
It will only power up from the power button, or a notification.
I'm trying S2U2 again. Who is going to give me their # so I can have it the first in my list to be redialed if this calls out again?
just dial your voicemail first, then test, lol
After i hang up on a call (when the phone is in sleep mode and the screen is locked) the screen unlocks. this is quite contrary to what is mentioned in the phone manual chapter 1 page 45. this becomes an issue since i use a bluetooth headset and the phone remains in its sleeve/case and after every call, a whole bunch of applications will launch since the case is in contact with the screen. have i overlooked some settings or are there other owners who have faced this issue?
ideas and suggestions welcomed
did you check it out if any of the hardware buttons being pressed against the case hence wakening up the phone.?
i had it to only closed al my apps in taskm and it stoped flickering
My HD2 is also behaving in the same way even in controlled test conditions - the phone unlocks when a call comes in (I'm presented with slide to accept or reject call) The phone unlocks during the call, but fails to lock again on disconnect (either by pressing "end call" or hang up via bluetooth).
Can anyone verify this? Is it interacting with something I installed?
I believe I found a (complicated) workaround.
What I want: leave HD2 inside pocket, answer calls with bluetooth headset, hang up and phone will go back to lock.
Problem: After I hang up using bluetooth or press the big red "End Call" button or the other party hangs up, the phone stays unlocked! It stays powered on and all kinds of buttons gets clicked.
Practically all lock sw uses their own lock screen (which I don't want to install). CSDevCtrl does not trigger by phone. TouchLockPro uses its own transparent lock screen but can respond to phone events. Using the !SUSPEND for TAPI\Ended under settings does not seem to work when the screen dims about 50 secs into the call.
Solution: Use TouchLockPro together with LockAndOff. Get TAPI\Ended to run LockAndOff will turn phone off, whether by bluetooth, big red "End Call" button, or the other party hangs up.
BTW: I think there is some confusion on whether the phone locks when you
1. press the big red "End Call" button, or
2. the hard "End call" button
in the forums.
I noticed that HD2 have a light sensor next to the top ear speaker.
During a call, if the phone is put near the ear and cover the light sensor , the screen become non-active which is good.
If anyone can come up with a lock sceen using this light sensor , then the problem with random launch of program when phone inside pocket will be solved.
This lock screen should only activated right after an end of call, beacuse , sometime you may want to use the phone in a dark place.

It's the proximity sensor that turns the screen on and off during a call, not the light sensor. How else would it work in the dark? (which it does)

My proximity sensor does not work, when I am getting a call my screen turn off and when I am taking the phone out from my face it turn on only when I am out side at the sun!! the screen stay off when I am inside room. I tested it with flsh light and it is working also.
I have a T-Mobile US version of the HD2. I am having the same problem when using the bluetooth system in my car. After answering or making a call the phone stay unlocked. And then starts making random calls while I am driving!!!!
There has got to be an easy fix for this!!!
Buy pocketshield, problem solved.
i have this unlock problem with 1.48 rom and i solve it by pressing start button and lock. after that everything works fine unless i change theme in settings. then just repeat first step.
Solved
Same trouble with me until I use the following software. I tried it and it's almost perfect. unzip it and just copy to your HD2, run CallerLoc.exe and click Yes, you'll find:when you hang up, or he/she hang up a call, or a call is established, the screen will turn off.
Why say 'almost perfect', the software is in chinese, but the filename is in english. and it's a call location software but with the function we need.
To stop or before you delete the software, run Callerloc.exe and click Yes again.
Hope this will help you. Sorry I don't find a English version of this software. I esure and I'm using this software perfectlly with my Leo.

Same for me
Greetings.
I understand this is quite an old thread I'm digging up but I need a little help as well and I didn't want to start a new topic just for that.
I've this silly problem, appeared right out of the blue:
You all know the standard manila behavior, when the phone is idle, the screen first dims and after some more time, depending on your preferences, the screen locks. It also locks if you press the power off button. This all was happening to me till this morning.
I added an event in the calendar (the only change I made today) and after that, my phone dims and then goes in sleep mode after the designated period of time, but DOESN'T lock!!! It doesn't even lock when I press the power off button. I can still lock it by pressing Start and then lock or by press and hold the power button and choose the lock phone option. So one would say that it's still operational, so why bother about it, but I kinda liked the standard function and I have to freaking idea why it changed!!!
I'd be most appreciative if you could offer some help with that.
Oh, I forgot to mention. Soft reset didn't solve the problem. Erasing the calendar event didn't either.
My phone runs the factory ROM (1.66.482.1 ELL), I haven't changed anything other than user settings (yeah, I'm a noob... )
Thanks in advance!

Pocketshield could be the end of your problems. You can try it for 10 days and see how it goes...
But why do I need to buy third party software in order to revert my phone to it's original operation?
No, this is not the answer I am looking for. I was wondering if you know of any kind of settings that might have changed by accident and caused this undesired behavior.
Thanks.
The best to return to normal operation would be a hard reset. Or you can spend a while trying.
You can try
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Enable=1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Active=1
Thank you very much. I opted for the hard reset option... I hope it stays ok this time!
My HD2 also had some strange unlocking and unwanted calling.
I noticed it appeared when using the android style lockscreen.
When I changed back to the original one, problem solved
i had this too. the andriod lockscreen seems to be a bit buggy last time i used it, i accidentially called 7 random numbers
my dial pad is missing when calling someone. screen flashes and the call screen is lost. but the call is normal.
a few times phone opened automaticly coming call. I checked all call settings, there is no anormal setting, please help.
I tried all versions rom. 2.1, 2.2, omg, chayogen etc. now I'm using 2.1 update, kernel leshak 2.6.29, lk2.08.1 samdroid
I have the same problem!
I have the same problem. It started about 3 days ago for no reason. When you press the call button after entering a number, the screen goes black and all the three buttons at base (back, windows and search) are not responsive. There is nothing you can do...you can't hangup or enter numbers until the other party hangs up, unless you reboot. (You can still talk and make the call as normal).
I tried rebooting, took battery out and also did a factory reset but nothing has resolved the problem.
However, I did find a workaround: flip phone over so it goes into speaker mode and then the dialpad becomes visible and you can end the call or use number pad, but you have to keep phone flipped over all the while. Another workaround is to use a Bluetooth headset when making or answering calls. Then the dialpad is always visible as normal.
If anyone knows what to do please respond!
there is no hope (from xda)
I decided to go service...(its doesnt matter I tried al versions rom, I hate this phone, enough, I tired to reload rom vs.)
