Is there anyway to stop the phone from unlocking itself whenever you receive a new text or email? As I find that sometimes I don't hear or feel the phone vibrate in my pocket, then when I take it out because it unlocked itself all sorts of apps have been opened.

I'm using an XDA2i with WM2003SE, though I thought that this would also be a poignant issue for those with XDA2's etc.
I have my device set so that when I press the power button it is effectively a keylock. The screen goes blank and doesn't respond to any input, neither do the buttons. This is a normal setting, not an external program or whatever.
However, when I receive a message or a call, the screen/buttonlock comes off allowing all manner of things to happen whilst the device is in my pocket. I must say this is particularly annoying when I have it on silent mode...
What I was wondering is if there's a way I can stop it doing this? I have found myself connected to MSN, launching applications, and various other things that have cost me time and money just because the screen/buttonlock won't stay on when I have someone contact me in any way.
So, can I prevent this happening at all?
Thanks.
earlier such was?
What?
EXACTLY the same problem
yeah i have a similar problem im looking for some software that means it wont unlock unless i press power
because im pulling my hair out over this one
does any one know of some work around?
flightmode is the only thing i can think
off
doubt there would be a big demand for that feature
anyway
as a rule people want to be notifided that their device is ringing
and want to be able to answer the call
by pressing the pickup button
one can put a password on the device if one dont wish it to
go to today screen when it wakes up ringing
oh yes i want to know its happening its just i don't want it to answer and dial 3 other people before it reaches the top of my pocket
other phones dont unlock them selves when they recieve texts
its just if i don't feel it vibrate it doesn't stay locked or lock after the ringer gives up it then remains unlocked and free to do what the pockets desire
as i said having a password on the device
is a workaround
it's also a way to keep private data safe if it's stolen
yeah fair enough i just tried that and it doesn't ask for the password once it wakes up, Oh and i certainly appreciate the help rudegar
i have been eyeing up devicelock thats on some threads but that wont install on my blueangel
what we need is, the device not to unlock because of a txt or message, and to relock after a call disconnect
that seams to be the only annoying thing about this phone other wise its great and i love the still active communities
alright i may have found soemthing

they were developing this program due to them being equally frustrated
the guy pocketmax came up with a program called screenguard i will be testing it over the next few days
and tonight ill let you know how it goes
odd i have my password timeout at 0
and sure i can asnwer a call without putting in the password
but it never leave the password screen
and i can see the clock and sms noti icon and such
but i can never get passed the password screen
of cause the password would be useless for data proction if that was not the case
how do i stop text messages when recived appearing in preveiw screen? as i want to keep them private
can i get round having to use the power button to keep waking up the phone to look at the screen
i down loaded a few cabs the otherday but removed them,but when phone rings i ansa it the volume in the earpeice has gone to half altho i keep turning it up.
thanx.
cheers mike,also,if some one sends an mms it keeps downloading the same pic for days,is this a phone or network issue?

It only happens with incoming email, SMS and calls are fine.
When I try to reproduce the problem, I simply have to wait for the phone to check for new mail. The the phone notifies me about new email. If I try to turn the screen on, it won't. The hard button lights up, indicating the phone is on but I can't interact with the screen. Resetting the phone via the red button is the only remedy.
If I act real fast when new mail comes, sometimes I'm able to start sliding to unlock but it still crashes. If I'm really fast I'm able to even get to the mail screen but it still crashes.
But the crash does not occur if I'm already using the phone when new email comes in. If I want to reproduce it, I have to leave the phone "alone", with the screen off. If the screen is on when the new mail comes in, the crash does not occur.
The problem started occurring with completely stock phone, the very first day, without making changes. As I cab tweaked the phone, (no ROM) the problem persists, it happens.
Because of this problem, when I wake up in the morning, I can't use my phone because the screen doesn't turn on and I have to restart the phone so I can use it. My mail send/receive interval is set for 4 hours so while I sleep the phone receives new email at least once.
I investigated similar problems for TP2 and Touch HD but it does not help.
I backed up everything on my phone so I'm ready to make changes if you have any advice. I checked for: changing the email ring tone, wake up on new email setting. They have no effect on this problem.
After this happens, I tried calling my phone. It will not ring, but the hard buttons light up but are unresponsive, I can't neither pick up nor reject the incoming call. I sent an SMS to the phone in this state, it didn't do anything.
Do you have knowledge that can help me? Is anyone willing to try to reproduce the problem on their phone?
All you would do is set any ring tone for incoming mail, leave the phone with the screen off and "wait" for new email to come in. Don't do anything for a minute and then check if the crash occurred.
Please help, I hate waking up to a crashed phone that I need to restart every time. Because of this problem, setting a wake up alarm is useless.
If you can't help with this, at least is there any way I can "force" the phone to restart without removing the battery cover?
Thank you.
If the phone is in my pocket when a call comes in, apparently the screen comes on, and then it's hard to get the phone out of my pocket without either answering of rejecting the call. Usually, the call is rejected by the time I get the phone out of my pocket, though yesterday I accepted a call while retrieving the phone too.
Is something wrong with my phone? I never had this problem with other devices.
It could be that the screen shouldn't be coming on in my pocket, but it could also be that the accept/reject buttons shouldn't be displayed while the phone is pocketed. Either one would work.
Sometimes the phone rings and rejects before I can even react to it, so I don't think I'm hitting the power button, for example.
Okay, found a post elsewhere about turning off single tap in accessibility settings. We'll see how that works.
Hi guys, I wonder if this is a setting issue or something.
I have my phone set to vibrate mode. I get notifications on second screen as per normal when i am using the phone. When the phone is locked, sometimes I still get instant notifications (ie. gmail, whatsapp etc)
But sometimes the phone doesn't show any notifications at all! (Noticed this as I was logged into gmail on pc, I had new emails but none were popping on the phone)
However, upon unlocking the phone, all the notifications started popping in!!
This defeats the purpose of a second screen if I have to unlock the phone to receive notifications!
Please help~
It sounds like the phone went to 'sleep' and doesn't wake even as I get new mails and stuff.
EDIT: I have tried battery optimization, set gmail and other mail apps to ignore. But that doesn't help.
