Hi,
been looking for a tweak about this, but haven't been able to find any.
Does anyone know how to disable the screen on the TyTN to turn on when receiving SMSs? It's very annoying, as the only notification I need is the beep sound and having the screen come to life everytime I receive an SMS is a hazzle when it comes to carrying it in my pocket. Touch-screens are a wonderful thing, but not turned on while in ones pocket. ;-) All sorts of nasty things could happen then.
Cheers,
Steffen
don't know how to totally disable this but you could use a program called mortsaver that lets you lock the screen a bit more like a conventional phone.
for example, I have to press the power button then the internet explorer button within 2s to unlock the screen.
when you receive a message the screen stays locked, although not when I get a call (might be able to change that tho).
I use spb pocketplus to put a 'lock' shortcut on my today screen that activates mortsaver.
I can't remember the website but google it and i'm sure you'll find it.
cheers
Thanks!!!
I've installed MortSaver 2.0 and it really does the trick!! Thanks for the advice.

Hi
I have the new ROM from HTC which has the new feature for the phone "Slide 2 Answer\Reject".
While this is kinda cool, its really annoying me because everytime I get a call and phone is in my trouser pocket, while pulling phone out the screen drags against inside of pocket and rejects the call!! Seriously, I have rejected loads of calls since this feature
I prefer no silly answer like "dont put in pocket", "turn phone around" etc
Did install S2u2 but delay in response so uninstalled. I just want to go back to the original but far to thick to know how.
Any help?
Cheers
Go S2U2 settings and remove this function by selecting "off" inthere..
Hello,
I am new to the Diamond 2. When the call is in progress the screen gets lock. I have got no option to tap the "END CALL" ono screen. I need to unlock the phonoe by pressing the power button and select/view the call progress .
And if the simple lock is enabled i need to enter lock to view the call status .
This is annoying. So How can I change setting to that if call is in progress the screen should NOT get lock.
PS: I have set the simple lock for my mobile. It gets lock even if the simple lock is not set.
Edit#1:
The screen also get locked when we are playing a movie too this is annoying. I think no one in this fourum has this issue or no one tried to resolve this.
Thanks.
Hi hi...I do face the same problem with you. I am looking for any kind soul out there for help on us to resolve such issue. Millions of thank!
No luck yet. Any senior member/developer who can help us or let me know if that is not possible
Close but not similar is my problem.
The TD2 is about 4 weeks old.
The screens turns black after about 10 seconds whatever settings I apply in the energy savings. WinMo keeps the settings, but does not apply them.
In contrast to the above posts I can end all calls by pressing the "end call button".
Any ideas?
True, we can end the call by pressing "End Call" button.
But can you view the call progress window? can you know how much time you spoke? Can you start another call / conf etc etc. This is tedious, which this phone is missing.
Today I send a query to India HTC tech Support. Lets see what they reply. or they will fix in WM 6.5 when it is released for TD2.

if you don't want your phone to lock automatically, go to: all settings - system - power - advanced. There you care disable automatically turning off backlight and device. Hope this helps. It doesn't provide a solution for in-call, but for movies ... it's not very hard to go to this tab and disable it before viewing
Thanks for your reply georgeono. I am also waiting for reply from HTC Tech support. Let see what solution they are giving.
When switching the phone from ring to vibrate using the manual switch on top of the phone, isn't there supposed to be a short vibration as feedback to let you know the phone is silenced? When I switch from ring to vibrate, I get no vibration feedback, but everything else works correctly (meaning that the ringer and sounds really are silenced and switched to vibrate-only mode).
None of the Treos I've had in the past have had this problem of the "vanishing feedback" when switching to vibrate.
Does anyone know if there is a setting or a registry hack to re-enable this feature?
It is very convenient to be able to reach in my pocket and switch the phone to vibrate and to receive a short vibration to let me know I got the switch in the right position. Thanks in advance for your help!
You should try getting into Start menu >Settings>Sounds & notifications, and then notifications !
There should be a check box where you select to enable or disable the feature
Fyi
I have a similar issue...
I'm using 6.5 23549 RealVGA Updated from imzkng in ppcGeeks with the 'no windows/ok/X button' tweak and sometimes in start menu when a push 'lock' (or anything in the bottom bar) the Treo give-me a vibrate-feedback, ok I like it! but 95% of the time it just does nothing...
I bought a LG Cookie for my girlfriend and I LOVED the feedback and would like to put in my Treo... does anyone know how?
well, I found a program that rumble the way I want...
TouchResponse
U can config it to rumble when U touch and when your finger leave the screen... and other things...
well, i have the same problem with my custom wm 6.5 rom... as for the screen, touch response is a great addition (then i know when stuff freezes too )
Im running MattC Leo Sense which uses a slide/lock for both the phone lock and to answer phone calls. I was able to change the phone lock slider from up/down to left/right but I want to do the same with answering phone calls.
What happens with incomming calls is someone calls me and I pull my phone straight up and out of my pocket. When I do this, the phone rejects the call because the phone rubs against my inside pocket and slids the answer/slide to reject phone call. If I could change the answer/slide from up/down to left/right then this wouldnt happen.
Does anyone have this issue and/or know of a fix?
Thanks

you can just set a screen lock on it and it doesnt show up until u unlock the screen lol.. thats wat i have or else it answers or ignores people in my pocket.. so with the connect the dot screen lock it just rings and shows u who it is until u unlock the screen...
Can you please tell me how you changed the unlocker from up/down to left/right. I would really appreciate.

same problem here, i've tryed the lockscreen tactic. but i find that very annoying. I have no program skills but there must be some guy who can make a small apk that deletes the slider and replaces it with nothing =) so i can just use the hard buttons on my HD2...
Just to bring the issue up again im still having massive problems with calls being ignored or answered (depends on which way the phone is in my pocket)
Anyway have any idea, ive tried widget locker but that only seems to apply to lock screen and not phone call screen.
This issue had anoyed me for a while as well. I have tried widget locker and that works great for the phone lock, but as mentioned earlier in this thread - not for the incoming call locker.
If someone fixes this for the sense based ROMs, they will be my hero!
cyanogen mod ROM includes the "slide to answer" from lockscreen window similar to "widget locker" app. i just wish they would include the option to add widgets and shortcuts to the lockscreen like widgetlocker does

I have the exact same problem, and looking for a fix.
same problem here
people hung up on me because phone answered in my pocket and they would hear noise while I'm removing it from my pocket/case >.>
setting a lock screen is so annoying, now I remove my phone carefully so I don't answer by mistake.
[edit] I've searched around the net, and downloaded a few new lock screens. there's one called "simply lock screen" it has an option to disable the slide to answer, and it will be replaced by the normal answer buttons you get when the device is not sleeping. it might work, but there's still chance that the answer/dismiss buttons will be pressed when you remove the device from the pocket
same problem here... no one has a clue yet?
the problem is htc sense...to avoid this problem i have switched to stock android builds...
There are a couple of apps out there that can help, the best I have found is Easy Answer Button. It is a bit tempermental, but if you install it as your last app after a fresh flash, it tends to work better - at least imho.
Others are Advanced Telephone (also free) and EZAnswer which will cost you a couple of bucks. (The link is to the 2 day trial).

Why don't you just delete htclockscreen.apk from system/app.
It will change sense up and down answer to left, right standard android lockscreen.
Use root explorer or the like and reboot afterwards to see changes.

Hi guys.
I got a Treo Pro from work a couple of months back but I'm getting really frustrated by the ability to pocket dial.
Every time I pull the phone from my pocket it will have 112 tapped into it. I'm getting really annoyed because it's so easy to do and it happens every time.
Is there any way to disable the ability to do that? I only want the keypad to work once it's been unlocked.
Any ideas?
What has worked for me is a tiny app called 'HookMgr' (freeware).
Thanks for that. Hookmgr seems to have stopped the keypad being pressed - however, the messages, calendar and start menu buttons are still able to be pressed (though the screen locks automatically straight afterwards).
Any ideas for those?
Glad it helped. Just to point out, some app you had installed was causing the problem and hookmgr somehow solved it (in my case it was VAlert that was the culprit).
Re. start, msg, calendar buttons - the same happens on my Treo Pro. Actually, I don't find this a bad thing at all as I can quickly glance at upcoming appointments or new email without unlocking the device.
I have an unlocked evdo palm treo pro and suddenly the screen lock isn't working. going in to the keyguard settings isn't having any effect. the keyboard is locked, but all the quickbuttons (red, green, palm button, etc) aren't locking. what did I do to disable keyguard?
found the fix for the screen lock on the treo plus. just gotta go into settings and redo the screen alignment. found it over at the ppcgeeks forums
