Is there a way to lock down the touchscreen during a call? A lot of times when I am done with a call there are numerous applications that have been opened with my cheek.
Thanks
Try phonealarm it can turn off screen
I think you can actually just press the standby button once you're in the call, and it doesn't affect the call, just switches the screen off.
Perhaps I am a blockhead but I do not see a standby button.
Standby button = power button
It works - just press the power button after you start the call, then it locks down all the keys for you.
Both the standby button and PhoneAlarm work to blank off the screen. The problem is when the screen is blanked off or in other words the PDA is switched off the call timer stops recording the call duration. For example make an outgoing call and blank off the screen and when you have finished the call check your call history. The outgoing call length will show only the duration it took you to blank off the screen. This can be a problem if you are keeping a record of your outgoing calls for billing purposes.

Not on mine! I can hit standby to run the screen off, then simply hit it again to turn the screen back on to see how long the current call has taken.
But even if your's doesn't offer that option, WM6's call history is seriously beefed up - with the option to review individual call details, and to delete individual calls.
The standby button works great, thanks. As to paying for an application like phonealarm for this, I was about to borrow a line from caddy shack:
"I ain't payin no fifty cents for no coke"

I've found that it all depends:
1) You put it in standby when it's ticking already and another patry ends a call - you get only the time between start call and going to standby.
2) You put it in standby when it's ticking already and YOU end a call by pressing the red hangup button - you get the real call duration.
3) You put it in standby before it starts ticking and another patry ends a call - you get zero duration.
4) You put it in standby before it starts ticking and YOU end a call by pressing the red hangup button - you get zero duration.
5) If you turn the screen on during a call for some reason and then turn it off again - you get the time when you turn off the sceen for a second time if the other patry ends a call, or you get the real one if YOU end a call with a red button.
comments anyone?
I'd like to find a solution to turn off the screen during a call but be able to see the real call duration.

I've noticed that my phone screen will turn off and go into standby mode when I'm on talking on the phone. So to even end a conversation, I have to turn it on and then hit end call. Shouldn't it by default stay on at all times while I'm in a call? Is there a setting I've missed somewhere?
Thanks.
You can press the red phone button to end the call without turning it on.
After ending a call, why does the keypad appear.
And can it be removed, or turn off so that when i end a call it just ends the call and goes back to the home page of turn screen off

I have the same problem, i think it is just a bug!
I also have this weird thing happen, when i end a call it takes a few seconds to actually cut off!
i have used advanced config to change the end call delay to 0 instead of three seconds but it still happens!!
there are already threads on this, and no sloutions yet. also try 5 or 10 millisceonds to end call. works for me.
just wait 3 seconds and keyboard dissapear

You can also press the hang up button twice and than it will dissapear instantly..
Greetzz
or u could click the 'x' to close the phonepad
hate this though...wish it would just close the moment the call ends
when a call comes in, i either push answer on the screen or hit the green button. however, it takes a few seconds before the my phone actually picks up the call. has anyone else run into this problem?
i just tried calling myself and the phone just keeps ringing the extra ~3 seconds before the phone picks up.
Here's an article on how to fix that, but it involves a registry editor and adjusting a setting

I actually have this problem but the registry fix isn't what's wrong ...is there any other ideas?
i'm pretty sure it has to do with WM - I have a coworker with the Mogul and he says he has the same delay that i have both with answering calls and hanging up calls.

Try this one
It is not a fix per say for what you wnat but it will make your phone ring soner.
Get into your msl settings by pressing ##778# on stock rom (you will need your unlock code) and then click on edit, then click your left soft key (should be view info) then go to modem settings and change the slot cycle index to 1. What this will do is make your cell phone check the tower for incomming calls every 1-2 seconds instead of every 5-7 seconds.

I agree that this works. It helped my pickups be a little quicker and more consistent. If you don't know your unlock code, google for an app called "getspc"
My THD keeps running out of battery power and it has taken me untill now to work out why.
If the THD is OFF and the phone rings it turns on, but when the call is finished IT STAYS ON and because I keep in my shirt top pocket every time I move it restarts the "turn off timeout" and I use up battery power.
Surely the phone should work this way:
THD ON when phone rings, it stays ON after the call is finished.
THD OFF when phone rings, it turns OFF when call is finished.
Is it possible for it to do that or can anyone sugest a solution.

I think if you keep it locked in your pocket you can still answer calls although it is in a locked state. When the call is finished it will go back to being locked automatically so you don't need to worry about activating anything on the phone in your pocket and it will go to sleep according to the settings you have made.
You can enable the AutoLock function so that you won't accidently touch it (although it got some bug with backlight).
Or you can use S2U2......(but it drain powers too).

I like the sensor lock, much nicer to make a rotational pattern to lock/unlock the phone. Makes the slide to unlock look outdated.
batery problems
I do not think you understood what I was saying.
Auto turn off is TURNED ON
Keylock IS TURNED ON
When an incoming call "wakes up" my sleeping unit and I have a conversation on the phone, when I finished the call and press "end call button" the phone does not go back to sleep. It should shut down after the preset time of, in my case, 30 seconds. But because the phone is in my top shirt pocket every movement of my arms or body causes the screen to be touched and the 30 second closedown time starts all over again.
What I have to do at the moment whenever I finish a call is to press first the "end call button" and then the "turn off" button. What I need is one button that will end the call and shut the phone down as well.
Hi, I've the problem with incoming calls. Afer the ring and pressing the green button to answer the screen is turning off (just like standby mode). I can only press on/off switch to see screen again or stop call by pressing the red button, than all is displaying again. It isn't normal, I think, and very unconfortable to get options while a calling is on. Thanks for advices.
It is normal. It prevents you from touching the touch screen by your ear during the call , also saves some energy. If you need for example calendar during the call, you can push on/off button.
I think there is some registry hack which can prevent this behavior.
