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 a few second..
anyway to make the screen remain turn on during phone call?
There is no fault...
So they abuse that you touch anything unintentionally.
Just press the wake up button to use your phone while calling. (On/ Off Button)
The screen going blank is intentional, I think, to save battery. As the phone is at your ear. Yes, just press the green phone button to wake up. It's defaulted in other HTC phones as well.
Someone has a tweak program for this ???
Ive been searching all over to find a solution to this but to no avail. The closest I get is a thread on Diamond (elder brother to Jade) tweak which is not conclusive on this subject.
However this is what I figured out . . . .
There is a sensor (somewhere near the speaker) that blanks the screen the moment you bring your phone to your ear. If you leave your phone face up after pressing call button, the screen remains on, until it senses something come near the phone face. Try covering it with your hand or anything, the screen goes blank. But when you press the 'ON' switch again, it will remain lit. The sensor only works once after first pressing call button.
If after you complete dialling and press call button, if you press the 'speaker' button immediately, the screen will remain on, even if you cover it (the sensor does not work here) or turn off speaker.
So, I put the phone to 'vibrate mode" to indicate when the call is connected (phone options). If you need to use the dial pad for e.g phone banking, then use 'speaker on'.
Anyone else has other findings ?
Maybe this will help..
With the below you can make all the hard buttons to wake up your phone..

Is there any way I can make it wake up with just the top (power) button and the round middle button? I don't want the green or red button to wake up the phone because they are raised and may turn on the phone while in my pocket...

Well, mine is inconsistent. Sometimes it will turn off sometimes it won't. But mostly it will only turn off once the call is established even if you don't cover the sensor (presume you don't turn on the speaker phone). Can one confirm this or is it I'm having a faulty sensor???

Well, mine is inconsistent too, I mean there is no definitive pattern. I guess it's sensor sensitivy dependant. I'm not really sure how it is set up. So I rely much on the vibrate mode, on press the ON button again, if still curious about the call status.
I have tried to create the registery key for the any key wake instead of the power key only
"DefaultKeyLock" Value "0"
The problem is after i soft reset the registery key is simply gone (i.e. gone, deleted ....)
any ideas?

Not sure why it happened. But you can always add the reg key "DefaultKeyLock" if it's not there.

Does this sensor really exist on the Jade? I did not find any sensor-function, the display vanishes after a few seconds with and without covering by hand if you do not activate the hands-free-mode.

I tried this - its a great idea and works well.... a little too well because when I pop the phone in my pocket sometimes a key gets accidentally pressed, the phone wakes and anything can happen & did like making an unintentinal call or the voice commander activating. So in my case I had to switch it off.
shame - i liked it apart from that. Could the registry be tweaked to set just one other button thats least likely to get accidentally pressed? I'm thinking the enter button perhaps because its recessed . I can see that others have asked for this as well but nothing available yet ?
thanks
Hey guys, i noticed that when the screen turns off or goes into stand by and you recieve an SMS/MMS message, the alert sound still comes on, but the screen stays off. Is there a way to change this? It's sort of annoying having to press the top button just to see if a text message comes in. Can it be tweaked in the registry? If so, what would one have to do to change it? I have a registry editor installed on my phone so if anyone has any ideas......go ahead
Standby when phone call received
Hey all,
An extension of the Q above, When I make or receive phone calls, the screen shortly after goes blank, he only way to see the screen again to press the "Call" buttin again, which puts the caller the call on hold. I have to quickly press the "Unhold button again " which is very annoying!
Any ideas any1?
Thanks in Advance...

Use the power on\off button on top instead of pressing the the Dial button.. it was annoying for me too but the power button does it for me and it's better than to keep the screen on during the whole call since all my calls are above five mins
bump...someone has to have some idea what can be done to fix this
If you install HDTweak ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505 ), you can disable the screen switching off during a call and/or make the device wake up when a new SMS is received. It works for me.
Installing HD tweak and then going to 2.2 will solve your problem.
try the hd tweak or the diamond config both have twaeks to activate the screen when you receive the sms. but be sure to lock the phone for when you have it in your pocket.
NICE!!!! thanks guys for the info, i will try this ASAP when i get home

Hi there, I disabled 1.1 and it still does not seem to work for me
However, Enabled 2.1 and that works.
Please help ...
In HDtweak, I have 1.1 disabled, 1.2 Disallow, 1.3 Disabled
The screen doesn't go off during a call. I can always press the power button to turn off/on the screen manually if i want to save battery during a long call (or not attract attention when calling on a dark street!)

Hi, site looks great, need to explore more, but reason i am here at mo is i'm trying to find out if there is a way to let the phone light up when a text is received? like a conventional phone/ this is my first wondows mobile / pocket pc thing, so its taking some time getting used to it
At moment though i have to press the power button to check if any texts, and this will be using power as pressing it when no texts are in (phone is silent at work)
IS this poss to achieve? either through settings, or a app?
You can use HD Tweak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505) to turn on a feature that causes your phone to turn on when you receive a text.
You can also go to the Sounds and Notifications setting in your phone and check the box that will cause your little LED light on the power button to keep flashing until you check your message.
thanks for the help, will look into that
I did that and works great (thanks to HD Tweak) but I found out why they decided to not turn on the screen by default... whenever I receive a SMS and the phone is on my pocket, I start making calls by mistake...

Go to "Settings, Buttons"
Either select "Lock Device" or "Always display Quick list"
Long press on the end call key will then Lock all input so even if the phone does wake, it wont respond unless unlocked.
Locked phone is essential if you have a Bluetooth car or Earpiece as the phone will wake everytime on connect/disconnect also.

Hi,
I have read and tried what I could find, but it does not work on my Jade.
Are there any new ideas how to keep the screen from swithching off?
Joe
This is copied from the Jade Manual:
Call functions
When a call is in progress, tap the available buttons on the Phone screen to put a
call on hold, dial another contact for a phone conference, enter notes about the
conversation, and more.
None of the above is possible because the screen disappears by itself.
Do HTC know about it? This seems to be a major f...up.
This problem has been discussed in many threads, there is no real solution.
If you activate the speaker for hands-free immediately after connecting the screen keeps on.
on mine the screen goes off... but if i press one fo the direction buttons it comes back on and stays on so i can use the keypad or look at contacts etc
Thank you guys.
I will try to contact HTC because I think this is a major fault. There is no access to those Call Functions if the screen disappears.
But people should also have the choice of switching the screen off to conserve battery during long conversations. That should be one of the Call Functions.
I tried to bring the screen back by pressing the OK button, but instead it ended the call. So why do we need the END button ?? Poor HTC. They are in front of themselves. Ever producing new half-baked models without thinking it properly out.
I have not tried the < or > buttons, but it would be risky because usually the OK button gets activated as well.
Has anybody on any HTC forum tried to petition HTC? I think this issue would be a nice one for a petition.
Joe
you say you dont want the screen to switch off but u dont want the < and > active?
tring to understand what you want/dont want here?
if i press < or > the screen comes on fully functional...
I did not say I did not want the < > keys active. I don't care what those keys do because I don't use them. The reason is that when I use them, I always inadvertently activate the Enter button. On my phone that terminates the call - the same as the End key.
It would be nice (and even logical) to have the Enter (OK) button to wake up the screen instead of the directional buttons. Maybe there is a registry tweak to do that.

I think it's about getting used to and familiarising with the intended design and button functions. Now after nearly 12 months using Jade I have no complaints. Even using phone banking, no problem with inputting the required numbers. Concur with MvBoe and DJHicks. It should also be acknowledged that this is 80% PDA and 20%phone (roughly).
