If I need to press a key during phone call (e.g. do delete a voicemail, I need to press 7), how do I do that? My screen turns off when I talk.
Thanks
press the home button and I believe the keypad is the bottom left button

When I talk, the screen turns off. Pressing home button does not turn it on. Is there a setting to turn the screen on if the home button is pressed?
during a call just press the power button on top and your hd goes on.

Please switch off your light sensor. I have just fixed the same problem, using HD Tweak utility. I have just posted details in my posting please seach posts by avaion99, you find the solution.
Even though I do not have the HD, I find that useful, since I usually move around when I am on the phone, and I do not want to press anything I do not want to press. Its the same on the iPhone, you press the power to snap it back on. Its just hard to get used to the first couple of days.

I'm new to Topaz. Every time I finish a phone call or a program, I need to wait for several seconds until the screen is turn off. In fact, I do not key lock my phone.
I wonder if there's any soft button (in any kind of program) can turn the screen off after I finish using the PDA phone?
Short press of the (hard) power button turns off the screen (but not the device). That's not satisfactory?
Hi jabok, thank you for yr reply and i noted the "hard" power button method. As the power button is located at the top of the phone and the button is a little bit difficult to press, in my opinion.
That's why I'm looking for a program or shortcut to have a "soft" button on-screen to turn off the screen

Yes, you may try PSSHUTXP or SVMPOWERMGR. I am currently using SVMPOWERMGR which provides 4 shortcuts in Windows Start program and one of them is screen off.

You can use TouchLockPro and configure CommandCallEnded = !SUSPEND.
You can also couple a (hardware) key shortcut to TouchLockAction SUSPEND
Is there any way to change the key to turn on the screen? The Power button is on the top and I bet most people hold the bottom of the phone, I can't reach the top button with one hand....
Thanks,

You can try mapping it with this program.
I haven't tested on power button though.
Although it would work if I map the 'END' button to "screen power toggle". I also lost the End funtion....
Do you guys use two hands to turn on the screen everytime you use? I was so used to My Treo Pro that I can use the END key to turn on the screen...
Thanks,
First, there's a never version of keyboardcontrol.
Second, you have to set end key normal standard and e.g. longpress to turn on.
A couple of quick questions for people who have actually got the phone:
1) Is there an easy way to turn the backlight/screen on/off (to save battery) at the press of a button as you can on most other touchscreen phones?
2) How easy/quick is it to lock/unlock the phone?
3) Approx how many seconds is it from when you press the power button to when the phone is fully loaded and ready to be used?
Thanks in advance!

1. Briefly press the Power Button.
2. To Unlock ~ Swipe your finger across the screen.
3. Depends:
Are you talking of from Powering On or from switching the screen back on?
If from Powering On:-
It really depends on how many Apps/Drivers installed but mine takes around 25 seconds from a long press on the Power button to fully loaded.
If from just switching on the screen:-
Instantly.... and can be switched on either with a brief press on the Power button or the Home key at the bottom of the screen.
Thanks for the reply!
I presume the power button is on the very top edge of the phone?
So would I be correct in saying that a brief press on the power button actually turns the display off (effectively locking the phone from the point of view of accidentally pressing something on screen if it's in your pocket for example) ?
But if the home button turns the screen back on in the same way as the power button, wouldn't THAT be prone to accidentally activating the phone when you don't want it to?
I've always found it much quicker to simply turn off the display instead of actually locking it.

The power button is on the side of the phone, on the right side.
If you press the power button on Android it will lock and shut off the screen yes.
and you press the home button on any android device it usually activated the screen and then you have to swipe to unlock.
Thanks...I was getting confused.
So when you briefly press the power button, it actually "locks" the phone and turns off the display and needs to be "unlocked" with another press of this button & a finger swipe.
Is this hard coded or can you stop the "home" button from also trying to lock/unlock the device, i.e. can I simply use the power button to lock/unlock and the home button doesn't do anything in this state??

It is hard coded.
However, to switch the phone on using the Home button does require a significant press and it is recessed.
Very quick to unlock the phone, whether you use the swipe to unlock or the Android 'join the dots' security. I actually prefer this as you have a decent sized clock on the screen.
I presume the Simcard PIN request on device startup works the same as it does on Windows Mobile devices?

I Know there are more threads with a broken power button but nobody has given an answer to the problem. I have a HTC Touch HD. The power button (on the top left) won't work. Usually , when you press the power button, you can feel it click, and the screen turns on and off. But now, the button just goes down when i press it, and you dont feel it "clicking". So now I can't turn it on.
Does anyone know how I can get it on or fix it?
Thanks...
Update: ive opened my mobile, so now can i see whats beneath the power button. I don't have a clue what mechanism it should have (how the click works)... How it normally looks.. any suggestions?
I noticed this the other day, but figured it was just a fluke thing......I've now made about 10 calls on my OnePlus 2 and when I'm finished with my call, I don't have a hang-up button! I have to hit the home button, then swipe down and choose "Hang Up" from the little window there. Doing this is a quite a chore because the sensors detect when the phone is by your face and shuts off the screen, so when I try to touch my screen it will shut off the screen. I eventually get it, but it sometimes takes about 30-45 seconds to end my call doing it this way.
Am I missing something? Is one of the softkeys (on the phone) now the hang up button?
u have to press the dialer keys button and it will minimize and reveal the round, red end call button. yes, kind of strange. but u can also set your power button to be an end call button i believe.

But, something weird just happened.... I lost my "clear all recent's" and read if you boot into safe mode, that will fix it..... So I booted into safe mode and it fixed my missing "clear all" X......But it also seemed to have changed the behavior of my dialer??!!?! Now, I have the red hang-up button that shows all the time (like it should).
So it just sounds like it's a little buggy still?
