Hello all,
I have searched for the answer to remove several pop balloons without any luck. I hope you can help me with this.
While talking on my HTC TOUCH it seems I am touching icons with my ear setting off different pop ups.
The one I am having the most problems with is the connectivity pop up at the top of the screen. This pop seems to activate when the Ev icon is pressed.
Also the phone pop ( which seems to activate when pressing the signal icon) pops up from time to time as well.
Is there a way to disable these icons?
Thanks
im not aware of any way to get ride of those, but i have set my phone to automatically turn off the screen when the call is connected and turn it back on as soon as the call is finished.
u can do it with S2U2, setting on the ´blank screen on talk´ option.

Gday TyTN folk.
I have an iMate PDA2k and am thinking of moving to TyTN, but being a bit frustrated with my current unit I'd like to know whether TyTN makes a better phone than BA does.
My specific botherments are:
- notification light (green/red/orange) where the functions over-ride each other. e.g. if I miss a call while its charging, it starts flashing red, but then it completes charging and goes green. Actually, even if it's not charging it seems to stop flashing red after a while. I want it to keep flashing red until I actually handle the device and should have noticed.
To me it makes more sense to combine the bluetooth light with the charge light, and leave the phone notification as a separate item.
- notification icon space in start bar. Currently it's ALWAYS showing a multi-message bubble icon (I'm always in CDMA 1x coverage, and also have an app running that puts its own notification icon up) so I don't see a new one for SMS or voice message. It looks like the best answer might actually be a 3rd party start-bar app, but still.. is it any better under WM5?
- waking up. Incoming calls, messages, and bluetooth connections, wake up the device completely. If it's in the pouch, or worse, in my pocket, the screen then gets bumped, thereby performing actions I don't want to. Even getting it out of my pocket without bumping the screen is a challenge. I tried setting an unlock password (some time ago) but that wasn't satisfactory; I don't remember whether the screen still unlocked on incoming calls, or if unlocking was too much a nuisance.
Ideally, it should wake up enough so that the firm hardware buttons are unlocked but the screen isn't active until you've used a button.
The voice-recording button used to annoy me with accidental presses when removing from pouch; I changed that button to do screen rotate which I find more useful, and no big deal when pushed accidentally - just push it again.
- Sound quality, especially for the person on the other end of a call. I've had people tell me I'm faint on the iMate. Positioning is a little interesting as I don't really want to rub my face all over the screen. Does the TyTN pick up any better?
- turning the phone off. (Like Windows' contradictory "click start to shut down") I really don't like the fiddly actions required to "turn on flight mode" on pda2k, especially when I don't want to get out the stylus. People with normal mobile phones can turn them completely off using one hardware button, and they don't have to look hard to see whether it's on or off. Some have mentioned wanting an easy way to switch to/from silent mode.
Is there a quick, sensible, easy way to turn the phone on and off, preferably also to/from silent?
Thanks

First a corresponding icon (envelope, phone), after more notifications, you get a bubble (?). Not a bubble all the time.

One hardware button for standby, hold it to turn the device off completely. You get a window where you can just hit the d-pad button.
There's also a button for comm-manager, there you can select silent/vibrate mode and flight mode.
Hi, you speak of not wanting to rub your face on the screen, I actually use my TyTN in speaker phone mode to prevent this, I just quickly enable speaker on a call, and flip the phone to where the back is by my face, it puts the speaker in a good spot also, I know it sounds a bit weird, bit works pretty well.
Granted I don't do this with every call, mostly I use it when I know the call is gonna last for more than a few minutes.
notifications, buttons

You're right about the notification icon, but if I was watching the screen at the time of the additional notify then I'd already know what's there and wouldn't need the icon. On the pda2k cdma, being in a 1x coverage area generates a notification, plus mNotes puts one, so there's a bubble even before I receive any sms, voicemail etc. Combine that with the behaviour of the flashing light, it means if I missed something I may not know about it unless I go looking.
Thanks re the hardware button, that's good news.

Creative! I'll remember that one..
Sounds like you should check out PhoneAlarm
hello everyone, quick question
im looking for a locking program that will lock the screen when i press the power button (device goes into standby) and when it wakes up
the default locking program with WM is annoying because you can lock the phone BUT when u get an incoming call or text message, the screen becomes unlocked again and its easy to "answer" it accidently when its in your pocket. this is particularly annoying with text messages, because most of the time i wont even realize i have one and the phone will be awake for hours draining the battery and waiting to be pushed. anyways ive done several searches and come up with the following solutions, none of which work for me
1. S2U2, i dont like it, i tried it, wont use it again
2. SensorLock - An EXCELLENT locker, except it wont work on phones without Accelerometers...works wonderfully on the diamond tho
can anyone suggest something to me
First, set timeout for turning screen off autoamtically. This will solve SMS wakeup problem - screen will turn off automatically after some time.
Next thing, incoming calls - there is great Onyx ROM with Opal's slider - to answer a call, you need to slide your finger from center to left (or to right to ignore it). You can't answer accidentally using it
i appreciate your suggestions but neither works for me
i tried the opal but it didnt work properly, i actually had to hard reset to get rid of it
as for the timeout, it still doesnt solve the problem of the phone becoming ACTIVE as soon as a notification or text message is received
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

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
GAWD I LOVE THIS FORUM
Doesn't work for me

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!)

Thanks!

During call i prefer not to use Blank Screen option, display stays on.
That's why i'm always pushing taskbar buttons with my face and have to dismiss HTC Notification Manager all the time (onscreen buttons are hidden by curtain), possible to prevent it from loading somehow during phonecall?
thank you!
I had the same issue...I saw more of my task manager during a call than anything else. I know you do not want the display off during a call, but consider this...I use "TouchInCall". When I raise the phone to my ear during a call it turns the screen off. When I pull the phone away from my ear it turns the screen back on. It's the best solution I could find for the same problem. I didn't want the screen off during a call, or on such that my ear would keep touching the task manager. Although, there is an app somewhere out there, and I apologize the name of it escapes me, but it will lock your touch screen during a call. I believe it's floating around the forum somewhere...I believe I saw it in HD Themes and Software.
thanks, i'm using this software too, but it turns the screen back on really slowly in my oppinion, that's why i decided to get rid of it.
Recently I just found out how to fix my girl friends dialer, I had the hardest time finding any info that could help me solve the problem.
Everytime she would try to make a phone call and have to push any button on the dialpad her phone would either lock up and not allow her to push any buttons or the screen would turn off until the call had ended.
After research I realized was from this double tap feature that samsung used to stop you from hitting dialpad with your ear or in your pocket...
Anyway this is how I fixed it
1- first you need developer option.. By clicking your build number, in about phone 7 times, when u back out you will see the menu.. Half way down the page you will find ANIMATION DURATION SET THIS TO ---- .0. ----
2 change lockscreen setting to tapping lock button... Instead of swipe..
3 . making sure anything to do with gestures while in call are turned off.. In accessiblity . when window pops up about some voice whatever... Cancel it ... And in accessibility turn off power button ends call. Also if you have custom ROM with active display u will find more to do with this. U want to make sure pocket mode and anything to do with it has been turned off.
4. If your phone is rooted lastly I deleted- voice dialer
Doing this solved my girlfriends problems for the time being. In the past, just kept coming back so I pray
Please let me know if thus worked for or has helped you.
thanks...
