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!

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

looks like you got a virus ....
that was my first thought, but i set up a new rom last week and i have the same problem agian with the new one rom. So that's why i'm not sure that it's a virus.

You probably should give a little more detail of the problem in order to get better help. Does it make the call to same person every time? Does it make the call on certain intervals? Are you using any particular programs when it happens? etc., etc. It's kind of like taking your car to a mechanic and saying..."The car won't start."
You say u used a new ROM and got the same problem..
But did u format the 4bg Internal Storage too (Boot manager asks to format the device storage or the internal storage too, don't know the correct spelling). This is while flashing new ROM.
Maybe a virus is on your 4gb internal storage and keeps installing himself.

It makes calls at the last outgoing number. I used to use the S2U2 program to lock my device in order not to push any button when i have it in my pants. sorry for my bad english, but i'm very dissapointed with my new diamond so that i'm thinking to sell it
the same thing happens with my diamond. i lock the phone by holding the hang up key, turn off the screen using the power button and use sensorlock to lock again, still, somehow, the phone will make calls to the last person in my call list. the only things i have added to the standard factory handset are:
1.93 rom from the orange.co.uk website,
diamond VRHologram 2.02,
sensorlock 0.40,
gyrator
and one mp4 format movie.
very frustrated. does anyone know what might be causing this problem? i´ve found that sensorlock can be bypassed ( i.e. screen unlocked ) by small movements rather than the full 360° turn which is supposed to be required, but the built in screen lock ( set to locking both hardware and screen buttons ) should still stop my handset from making calls.
also, sometimes, rather than make a call, i will unlock my phone to find the callender program launched, though tbh i think this was while i was only using sensorlock to lock the phone and may have been a result of my finger/palm touching the screen during the rotation gesture.
sorry for the long post, just trying to convey my situation as clearly as possible. if anybody has any solutions or ideas please reply or even pm me, i dont feel confident putting my diamond away because i never know what it´l do by itself, and its really peeing me off!
thankyou very much in advance

Guys, I'm kind and considerate, you're asking in the wrong forum, you should really be in the >Diamond>Diamond forum *and* you should be searching for the answer first.
Some people can be a little 'short' with new posters if you post without searching
Anyway, (as I'm kind and considerate) it's very unlikely to be a virus, it's more likely that your Diamond is turning on in your pocket and redialling your last dialled number, there are loads of threads about this, try searching for answerkeys disabler, what was wrong with S2U2 didn't that solve the problem.
HTH

I have a sprint cdma diamond. I have to turn off the screen during the call because my face will hit a button and do silly things. NOW even with screen off I will be in mid call and my diamond will dial a number on my other line. Think this is a hardware bug IMO happens at least 3 times a week
Headphones?
Just a thought ...
I find the button on the standard headphones very easy to knock and initiate last number dialling, could this be your cause?
If using the radio, I switched back to my old Jasjam headpones - WITH a volume control Otherwise the bluetoooth Motorola HT820's are good value.
It would be good if a warning came up first before it dialed out.
Hi, I'm having trouble whilst in a call on my HTC HD2. I'm using a set of headphones with my handset, so when I answer a call my phone stays in my pocket. What I dont understand is when you go to unlock the phone you have to slide it, great. But when your in a call you only have to press unlock??? Which happends quite a lot if it's still in your pocket. It's really getting to me now after a few weeks of use. I've even tried going to the start menu and locking it from there and you get the same scenario... PLEASE HELP.. there must be a way round it ? APPS?
Thanks in advance
Scott
I'll take it as theres no replys that its just a **** part of the phone...
Solved
Just thought id let people know that I found an app for the problem I had.. and it was free. Its called Curtain Call.
hi, threads are washed away fast here. another option is to use S2U2, its a screenlock program also free. it can lock the screen when you pickup a call.
mad
I use S2U2 to lock the screen whilst in a call...it works like a charm
When I call my voicemail [using google voice] it wants me to enter my pin.
1. Isn't there a way to program the dialer to pause, then enter the pin automatically?
2. I notice that the phone acts very quirky when on a call. In order to do anything when on a call I have to turn it so that it is in portrait mode, not landscape because it sort of 'sleeps' once I am on a call.
3. Being the phone wants to sleep when I am on a call, I can't seem to find a way to get back to the phone app and hit the RED 'end' button at times ..
Sort of hard to explain but maybe someone can do a better job if you have found the same problem. I love this BIG phone. I wouldn't even object to an extended battery.

Don't know about point 1 but i have just read that when making a phone call it has to be in portrait mode and as you bring it up to your face the proximity sensors will turn off your display to prevent unintentional touches is that what you were on about or have i got it all wrong
I don't understand all the technical stuff but to hold it, it has to be in portrait mode, but even if you have the speaker on and it is on it's back on the table, you can't press the keypad [once the call has begun] unless it is in portrait mode. I would like to turn off 'sleep' while I am on a call .. REALLY annoying.
SUGGESTION: Don't make any prank calls until you know that phone inside and out because sometimes hanging up the phone is close to impossible. Unless it's just me.

AHHHH so its you makeing all the prank calls to me LOL.
It dosen't say anything in the manual on turning off the sleep i will do a google and have a look
sssshhhh ... don't tell .. I have lots more calls to make
But seriously .. I called to check my voice mail and somehow the dialpad went off the screen .. Tried pushing buttons, but there apparently isn't one that will bring it back up .. Mean while I hear the recording saying the same "enter your 4 digit pin over and over." I would if I could find the dial pad again !!! Same if you are leaving a message .. if the screen sleeps, you are fumbling around trying to get it to come back up to click END.
Yes i have had quite some issues with it as a phone, specially when it rings but the screen is still in sleep mode for some reason. So you have to turn it on from sleep then hit the unlock before answering. This is a long process to accept phone calls, also when you answer the phone my ears always seem to hit the screen which triggers the apps menu....
I have had it since launch day and been trying to use it as a primary phone but i don't think thats working out. But as an MID its amazing I love using it, the screen is nice and great using it a a ebook reader.
When I get a phone call my screen comes on, unlocked and ready to answer.
My slight issues are my face is too small to go from the ear piece to the mic LoL
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I too am having the same issues as many on here.
A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G is what it is!
I can;t even hear anything out of the earpiece in the phone, although i can if i turn it on speaker...not a happy bunny as now i have to wait for a replacement!
One question tho, which has been driving me insane...
Does anyone know if there is some kind of 'file-explorer' for accessing the conent on the SD card?
The only way i've found so far to even get close to the files is through 'QuickOffice'... Would've thought they'd be a more 'convenient' approach to it...
Any ideas?
Yesterday I purchased a program called 'screeb.' It is supposed to be able to prevent 'sleep' when you are actually still using it among other things like battery saving things .. I haven't tested it yet but maybe others have ??

There are several free file explorers in the Market .. As for sound.. are you sure you are putting the right end to your ear ?? Seriously .. It would be easy to make that mistake when everything is dark ..

Yeah, definetly got it at the right ear
Will have a look round for a file explorer then, i just thought it would have came with one...silly me! lol!
If I had the phone on speaker and put it to my ear it would deafen me I think. Speaker is VERY loud. Could it be that you have the TTY feature turned on? [ I think that is what it is called, not even sure what it does.] I just can't understand why it won't work as a phone.
I have been trying to use BT only when using it as a phone. I am very afraid my earrings are going to scratch the screen.
I was trying to decide if maybe I should put the sim from my streak back into my iphone and then move the sim from my HTC Shift into the Streak until I got more used to using it. Especially if I am going to use it a lot for voice. I also use my phone for data more than voice.
ALSO .. wondering what an extended battery would be like .. Make it harder to hold? or give you something to hold on to... Right now my hand has to really stretch to grasp the phone ..
ANYWAY ... enough with all this thinking .. I should have been at work 15 minutes ago and I haven't even gotten in the shower.

I love British expressions ... Lately I notice that people in the USA are using them more and more .. The one that annoys me the most .. BECAUSE IT IS NOT OURS TO USE is the expression "gone missing." Everyone who is missing has "gone missing" and until about 1 or 2 years ago it belonged to YOU ... What I am trying to say is I like when YOU use them, but when WE do it sounds WRONG.

@shEEEsh
Your voice mail issue should be fixed by downloading the tmobile visiual voice mail its simple fast free. Also your sleep issues should be fixed with 2.2. I know with my N1 when I move the down it turns on.
@ Andyglosta
Try oi file manager on market. It'll do what you want.
There's also astro, but personally I think it looks crap..

I have everything with Tmobile but it won't let me install tmobile visual voice. Actually it says it is installed, but I can't activate it.
Just got off the phone with Tmobile and they turned on Visual Voice for me. Good. Next on the agenda is when a call ends getting back the dial pad so I can hang up ...

1. You can long press * on dialpad, it will show "p", then enter pin.
It can also be used in the contacts (just type p).
2. no idea...
3. Tried power on key ?
Maybe I throw my hands in the air to fast, but I shut off google voice and went back to tmobile 'visual voicemail.' It is sort of the same but I will miss google's voice to text translation via email SOOOOO MUCH ... It is probably the most entertaining application that I have ever had. I like to forward them to the person who left the voicemail and say "what?????"
It seems funny. But I can't use google voice here ;-(
Is there any way to avoid answer or reject incoming calls by accidentaly pressing the hard buttons?
This is happening to me sometimes. The phone inside my pocket and, by accident, I answer to some calls. I wish this could be done only by sliding the screen bar, as in Windows Mobile.
Has anyone find a walkaround for this?
Thank you in advance.
I don´t know if I was clear about my question. I mean, the Android port to HD2 has a "bug" witch consists in the ability of answering or rejecting phone calls by pressing the hard buttons, even if the screen is locked.
Has anyone notticed this? Can I disable this?
Thank you!

Remove the telephone functionality of device... Ah I feel old.
Funny But I need a real solution. Doesn't this bother anyone else?
So you want to disable the hardware buttons from being able to answer or hangup phone calls? That's what they're there for, no matter what your screen says. It's a "bug" in winmo also, and every other cell phone out.

Nope, it´s not. In WinMo I can only answer/reject a call using hard buttons only if the screen is unlocked. If it is locked, the only way to do so is by sliding the screen.
Any tips, guys?
I agree on this, for me irs a realy big problem. It happens everytime my phone rings while in my pocket.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I'm glad someone has the same problem as I do. Hope somebody could help us.
I have it too. Not sure sarcasm is going to fix this though!!
I also have this problem when phone in pocket!
couldn't you just remap the call button to something else...?
Well first its not a green button for me.
And yeah! that sux! i guess its the easiest thing that a developer can do.. i imagine that it can be fixed by changing a number from the drivers like "AnswerButton=0 or False"
I am also facing this issue now and then. Solution would be appreciated
I am suffering from this problem, too.
Already posted that on different threads here.
Hoping that this is fixed soon.
Is there any chef reading to this post? Do you face this problem also? It would be nice hearing from you if this problem is easy or not to solve.
Thanks.
It would be very nice if there is a solution for this problem.
Yesterday I started testing Android on my HD2 and I like it. But this problem would be a "no go", becaus I think ppl don't like to talk with my pocket :-/
No solution?

Tried, but every configuration tested, don't prevent accepting/rejecting calls with hardware keys
I think a small tool with two options would be enough:
- Accept calls with hardware button? yes/no
- Reject calls with hardware button? yes/no
I can't find such a tool, so I've to use windows.
For the people who haven't found out yet, I found the solution to this problem.
I know it's a bump but might help some people out.
