Hello....
I am sure there are posts on this board for this topic, but yet everything I seem to search for does not find it. I apologize if there is a post and I have missed it!!
Does anyone know how to make the screen turn off when you are on a call? I just cannot seem to find this function. I can easily do this on the Tilt, but for some reason I cannot figure it out on the Wizard. My wife keeps hitting the End Call button on the dialer she uses with her chin and keeps hanging up on people.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Eric
Not one person can help me out??
I know someone out there knows how to have the screen turn off after 30 seconds or something like that while on a phone call. It just has to be an option that I am overlooking.
ahhh,
i really want this feature too
While on the phone just press the power button again on the top of the phone, the screen turns off and the call continues until either party hang up.
Is that what you mean?
I just remembered I posted this a while back as my wife was asking me again.
dav3ywrx - thanks for the tip... can't believe I never thought of that!!! I will try it out tonight.
Thanks again.
No problem, good luck
I am not sure if anybody else has had this problem. But when you dial a number on jade the screen goes off after connection, but suppose you need to dial other numbers ( Customer service calls). You have to press the on/off button on top.
Otherwise sometimes your hear clicks other buttons accidentally. Is there anyway for the phone to lock the screen and dialpad after connection. Its really annoying that the keypad clicks by mistake or users have to carefully turn off the screen.
The iphone detects that the speaker is covered and automatically switches off the screen so there is no accidental dialing. Wish jade had something similar.
What do the others do??
Follow this discussion and you will have some idea

Thanks so much!! So no great solutions...I dont think i have any sensors on my jade. HTC really needs to think about this, I make lots of customer service calls and pretty much have to use the on/off button on top all the time to be careful to not dial/press random buttons with my ear.
I wish somebody could create something...or htc would think out of the box and make this a serious concern.

I think so too. No sensor-function noticeable.
First time posting here, you guys are the best. After configuring s2u2, almost every incoming call i receive usually leaves the screen blank after disconnecting the call. The phone does not allow me to get into the menu and has the text (s2u2) in the top left corner. The only way to get back to the menu is to remove the battery, doesn't even allow me to power phone off. Can anyone assist me? i there something in the menu i need to adjust? Would really appreciate any help i van get.

hey, U might wanna post this on the s2u2 thread bro 2 get help, instead of starting a new 1.
I think I may have a major design flaw on tmobile touch pro 2.
I find this flaw very annoying. It's the location of the power button.
This happens whenever I have the keyboard slid out.
I browse the web or am in the middle of sending a text message then all of a sudden the phone will freeze for a couple of seconds and shows me if I want to restart my phone, shut it down, or make it go to sleep.
It's very annoying that the power button is right where my left index finger is when I am texting or browsing the web.
Is there any app or cab to disable this feature because I find it highly annoying and makes me think sometimes about switching to another phone.
Thank you.
Ill I can tell you is either:
1. Tilt you screen so you not likely to hit the power button.
2. or Learn to hold it in a different manner/be more careful.
Don't know what else to tell you.
Personally option #2 works for me.

Thank you very much. The link you posted to the HandyPowerButton Cab worked very well.
Very impressive for your first post. Have you been waiting around here since october to do a good deed LoL.
Anyways thanks very much for your help. Now I can go to sleep happily knowing whenever I browse the internet or am in the middle of texting somebody, the screen will not shut off on me
dpb one is the one that I have. its the best
hello all. Im a use rof an old spv. and just got my new HTC HD2
a few questions if i may? i can't figure out and ive been trying since last night, i've searched google high and low as well and called tmobile.
1. the phone when it dims and then goes to sleep, i have to always press a hard button then slide the lock to unlock... is there away to disablehaving to press a hardbutton? it gets really annoying having to press ahardbutton every minute when the phone goes to sleep!
2. when the phone dims after 10 seconds is there a way to set it up so that your first press just undims the screen and doesnt actually press whats under neath it?
3. ive read all over google about the gesture feature, ive asked tmobile. and i cannot get my phone to do any gestures what so ever. ive download and installed the shake and wake and still nothing. i download a program called pocketshield and that completelly locked me out of phone becuase when i shook it it wouldnt turn on i had to take off battery wait a minute and then replace the battery then uninstall the app.
4.the media players.. ive tried coreplayer, windows media player, pocketplayer, the one that plays the most files is coreplayer.. ive noticed in fullscreen mode there are no buttons? everytime i tap the screen ti brings me back to portrait view... is there any recomendaions for a player similiar to core player that has controls on the big screen in landscape view? and that offers all the features coreplayer does? eq, visualizations, plays as many file types etc...
5. ive looked everywhere on how to change email icons the envelopes.. is there away to change those or do we just have to remember the order of the email icons?
thanks for any help or light you guys can shed! i really hope some of these issues can beresolved. i feel ive exhausted my xda,google searching, and phone settings searching.
1. It would consume lots of battery power to constantly monitor the touch screen. You can increase the amount of time before it goes to sleep.
ok i'll just have to deal with it an dwill raise the time.. ty for reply.. anyone else on the other questions please?
TY in advance
could anyone one confirm that the hd2 from the usa allows for shaking? ive rest phone and it doesnt work called tmobile and they have no clue! i'd liek to get me phone to be able to work with gestures.
Thanks
let me rephrase. does anyone know if the htc hd2 has... Windows Mobile phone with a tilt sensor / accelerometer/ g-sensor. or the ability to shake it and it will wake up?
thank you
It has an accelerometer, but there's NO shake to wake up.
Only way to wake up is to press a hard button.
5. if you mean the dirrerent e-mail accounts in sense, when you press on the "slider" that's on the active account and drag it, its expands to the left and shows the account name.
ok.. then what about the posts here about shaking it and tilting it? and what about pocketshield saying that you can shake it, and this link as well?
http://www.mobinauts.com/topic/110094-shake-to-wake-up-your-htc-hd2/
thanks for your reply!!!!. it's like pulling teeth in this forum very tough to get replies!
Apparently the shake to wake is a somewhat "experimental" add-on someone on here made and abandoned, works for some and not for others... nothing official, normal that tmo have no clue about it.
No idea about pocketshield, haven't read reports about that particular function on the HD2. Not very popular apparently, so you'll have to try yourself.
TMO support will help you about what was on your HD2 when you got it, nothing else that you'd install later.
thanx for reply.. well that pocketshield can be dangerous for some.luckily when ya replace battery it brings back the default slider. otherwise people would be locked out of there phones.
one last question and i promise to stay away for awhile.
how to u turn your backlight back on? example you have it set to dim after a minute. and your app. is there a way to undim the phone? instead of clicking on the screen or touching a button and it recognizing your touch and undimming it and selecting whatever you touched? i'd liek to be able to just touch something and it would undim and not select something underneath where i touched.
thanks
Not that I know of. It's been so with every touchsceen device I've ever had, need to either press a hardware key, which usually will do something too, or touch the screen and try to tap in an empty place.
Personally I don't use dim, I've set both dim and turn off to 1min.

That's because this is a developers' site, not a phone support forum.
Discussions are for developing programs, apps and other fun stuff.
If you want tech support there's many forums out there.
You should not be asking questions on here, about how to use your new T-Mobile HD2. I'm surprised your thread has not been locked.

Of course it won't turn on by shaking, phone must be ON for any gesture to be recognized. It is the hardware nature of these type of phones(you always need to press the hardkey, unless it is the phone turning on by itself).
Now, if you meant it didn't unlock when shaking after power on then maybe your g-sensor is not calibrated or you were doing the movement wrong. Take a look at minute 1:20, see how the movement is done:

i did tap the hard button first and then tried the shake movement, and i was locked out. i will redownload pocket and give a fair chance again by following the movement given in the video you posted.. thank you for the explanations guys.
