Can Any one make the following app? Would it cost me? Does it already exist?
Usually, when your phone is in standby and you get a call, the screen turns on and you can take the call pressing the "send" button.
Is there an app for WM6 (or can some one make it) that can tweak the settings and I still have to press the "on" button to turn on the screen and the buttons?
Or is there a simple registry tweak for that?
Let's say a person cannot take the call accidently under any circunstances. The person doesn't want to press by accident the "take call" button and let the caller hear his conversation.
(no I do not cheat on my wife... I wouldn't cheat on her... i don't have a wife actually)

you can lock your phone by holding the disconnect button after you are done using it. It will ask for you to either tap an clearly marked button or enter a certain sequence of symbols (I believe it's ***).
This would be a native, and there non memory taking, solution

Thanks, but on my phone that is not helping... it lets you take the call anyway with only pressing connect button... thus insecure. Well at least on my phone. I want to have a hard time answering, and never answer by mistake.
btw, TyTN II

i agree i would like to have a program like this on my phone also..

i second that too.
thats something we NEED.
S2U looks promising but i cant get it set up so the send and disconnect button are disabled

Any helpers?
I can pay

When making phone call, the screen got blank

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..
Hope that will help someone.
HKCU\Control Panel\Keybd\
and create REG_DWORD "DefaultKeyLock" Value "0"

Brilliant !!! Thanks for sharing.

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...
Thanks

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.

Is there a way to only have the middle round btn function as the wake up btn?

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

Running unwanted programs with your ear!!

I was about to throw my THD out the window because every time I make a call I seem to end up doing(running) all kinds of funny things while I am on the call. Sometimes by the time the call is finished I have found somehow my ear has managed to press and run a whole load of programs!
I have now found a resolution to this most annoying feature, when the phone rings I immediately press the ANSER button and then turn the THD off by pressing the OFF button on the top of the unit.
Problem resolved.
Sam

An easy answer you may like to try is HD Tweak which will give you the option to have this done manually
It also has many other great options

how unlock phone during recive call?

Hello...,
can I unlock phone when receive call for end call in touch screen
there is no way and I test many program but nothing for change it
I don`t want new program like Caller,,,
one more thing can change Vibrition Mod it`s so long!!
thankx

By "unlock" do you mean to activate the touchscreen? If so, just press the power button right on top of the phone.

thankx for replay
yes I need to activate the touchscreen for press end call
can I use Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3 for change lock option ?
or XperiaTweak2 or something like that becuse I dont find any idea for that
so just I need to activate the touchscreen for press end call during recive call
Thankx for all

please delete.... double post

Hello,
you can use XperiaTweak to select that the screen stays ON during a call.
If that is the case then, just press 'unlock' at any time to unlock the phone. However, I think that the phone's keypad is already unlocked when receiving a call and stays that way during that call.
Also, I have selected in Settings/Lock to wakeup phone by pressing ANY key/button. I prefer that to this 'power button only' thing.
Regards
PS
You can also Hang Up and End the Call by just pressing the End button on bottom of phone! Its Hardware and NO need to unlock phone at all

thank you
I Know I can end call by pressing end and am activated wake up any key
I wished touch screen to end call like SE P1i it`s mor easy to me
however,,,
thank you for help

WP7 End Call Issue

Hi Guys,
I have been having issues when trying to end a call with the new WP7 Rom. I also used to have this when using Andriod Roms.
When I go to end a call, pressing the end call button does nothing apart from light up the keypad. I've tried pressing every button but nothing but the keypad lighting up happens, the call never ends! I have to remove my battery and switch the phone back on to get the use of my phone back.
I have :
HardSPL 2.08
MAGDLR111
Radio 2.15.50.14
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

Did you not try the end call on the screen? Not the hard one on the bottom right of phone
Russ

The screen turns off when making a call so the touch buttons are not available. This is why I have to remove the battery as I have no other way of bringing the display back to life. Obviously if I make a call and the other person hangs up it's fine. However if they do not answer and it goes to voicemail or I call my voicemail I get stuck in a never ending loop of press 2 to hear your messages.

Official windows phones have no hard end call button, just the on screen one, therefor I dont think its possible to end a call with the hardware button. Yes, the screen goes off when making a call, but due to the proximity censor it should come back when you move it away from your head. If it does not, make sure its not covered, even a screen protector can block the proximity sensor. Its located next to the speaker.

Hmm I removed the screen protector and still no joy when I move the phone away from my face. The screen just remains black. I did crack the screen about 5 months ago and had it replaced, perhaps they've done a poor job on this....

Don't think so... My is in perfect shape. proximity works on android but not on wp7... i also can't press end call button.

same thing with me
well i get the same problem with mine also, is there anything we can do for that.

I have the same issue, though it only happens to me when calling my voicemail. I hit "end call" and it just hangs there with the message "Ending call..." and I have to pull the battery :/ Regular phone calls have been just fine though.

Finally cracked this one!
I have been experiencing this issue on my Optimus 7 phone since day one, on all firmware versions and I now have the latest update.
This is what worked for me:
-set the automatic brightness to off and choose any manual setting that suits your needs, I chose medium.
-set the screen timeout to never (not sure that this is necessary, I will change it back to 30 sec to see if the issue returns and post back)
I hope this works with your phones, it was really frustrating to pull the batery out. Good luck!

I've had this issue as well. Pressing the end call button on the screen won't end many of my calls, voicemail or to another person. But it's rare enough that it hasn't bothered me, too much. But is a problem that needs to be figured out, if possible.

We should come up witha way to re map the hard buttons to usefull use

I'm assuming your phone is an HD2. First of all, the call should automatically end when the other party hangs up. Secondly, just hit the Power button to turn the screen back on and then unlock the phone and hang up. What is so difficult? WP7 remaps the HD2 buttons so they don't work as they did in WM.
