Hi Guys,
I have a couple of problems with the HD2 that i cant seem to find the answer too using the thread search.
Firstly the phone lock. When i get into my car the bluetooth pairs with the phone ready for use. If i try to make a out going call using the buttons in the steering wheel the call fails because the phone is in a locked state. To make a call i have to slide the lock off and enter my pin. Surely the phone should allow the call without the need to fiddle around with the phone while driving? Anyone know a fix?
The second issue is also due to the phone lock. Some times after missing a call the lock come off and the screen is active. In this state ive made calls in my pocket and dont even know it. Again any ideas to solve the issue?
Many Thanks

I upgraded my XV6800 to 6.1 using the official upgrade. It's giving me trouble answering calls. When a call comes in I see the notification but when I try to press the Green phone button or the left soft button labeled 'Answer' it doesn't do it! It's like the keys are slow or something. When I use the soft button is DOES flash the soft button label like it recognized the button press. But it does not answer the call! I've had this happen at least a dozen times now so I know it's not just me fumbling with the keys. 9 times of of 10 I can't answer a call!
I've tried hard resetting the device and the symptom persists. I've tried using it without the microSD card loaded. Still the same trouble.
Has anyone else seen this? Or can you recommend a solution?
so your saying it doesn't show "connected"?
I had something similar to what your describing but it would show as "connected" on my phone. I couldn't hear anything when I'd answer. I realized after several attempts it was that the phone was paired to my cars bluetooth... I was trying to dial my phone as I was walking away from my car but I was still within 30 ft of the car... so all speaker and microphone was still being redirected to the cars system. lol. Same can happen with a bluetooth headset where the conversation (speaker/mic) is redirected to the headset that may be in your pocket or on the kitchen counter. But it would at least show as "connected" on the phone.
I feel stupid/foolish for shareing that experience but figured just maybe its what your experiencing.
Thanks,
Ben
*edit: by the way... when I had the 6.1 vzw upgrade I had no problem placeing and receiving calls, with the exception of the "user error" I described above. You could always try rolling back to 6.0 and upgrade again. Did you install any other new software after the upgrade to 6.1?
I have been experiencing something similar. PPC 6800 (not Verizon) with 6.0. When phone is locked and call comes in, can’t answer with the button or with BT. 6800 keeps ringing long after caller goes to voice mail. The only way to escape is soft reset. I’m running the original ROM & Radio that came with the 6800.

Nope, never shows connected. It's like the UI has gotten hung somewhere and isn't passing control over to the phone app.
No bluetooth pairings have ever been done to this phone, not before the upgrade and certainly none since. BT isn't even enabled.
Tim may be on to something regarding the lock situation. I've found the lock method a lot less friendly than before 6.1. Can't quite pin it down but it just doesn't seem to unlock properly. Again, it seems to be related to something making the phone 'slow'. On-screen keypresses in the Lock app don't seem to register with the same speed as before 6.1. I can tap a couple of them and not see anything on the screen, then they all run through (showing the screen buttons getting pressed).
My Xv6800 Verizon Does The Same Thing. I Push The Green Hard Button To Answer And It Takes Like 5 Seconds To Answer. It Seems To Happen More When I Have Programs Like Internet Explorer Up, But There Is Still Plenty Of Memory So I Cant See Why It Would Be So Slow. Its Just Frustrating Because Sometimes It Takes So Long The Call Goes To Voicemail And Nobody (fiancee Included) Believes Me! Any Help From Anyone?
fyi... i use an auto close program so when I close an application it really closes. I don't have the slow response or ability to not answer within 5 secs, etc. maybe it is a low memory issue you are experiencing. I don't lock my phone so that may be it too. Sorry I'm not much help here.

No, it's definitely not a low memory issue. It's doing this fresh after a reboot having had no other apps even started.
I am looking for a tweak or registry fix/setting to help me with the following problem:
On my parrot bluetooth car kit in headset mode after a call is finished the phone stays on. This is not a problem if you finish a normal call without handsfree because you switch it off manually but when you are driving with the phone in your pocket, the phone is liable to screen presses. I have been inadvertently creating/editing contacts and making notes with the phone in my pocket after use in the car.
The screen autopower off does work if the screen is not activated for a few minutes but the inadvertent screen presses occur within this timeframe.
Any help is appreciated - thanks!
I have a similar problem when using my bluetooth headset (Samsung WEP200)…
When I make a call using the headset the screen stays active, and if I turn it off during a call it turns it self on again after the call has ended. Not fun if it’s in my pocket and it decides to call someone back without me knowing.
Is there a general setting or fix that disables the screen when you answer or make a call with the headset active?
Have you found any solution to this?

Nope, not yet…
I can’t believe that there aren’t a lot more people with this problem!? It’s a REALLY STUPID problem to have on such an advanced phone like the Blacksone when nearly EVERY basic mobile phone has this feature since the dawn of BT headsets.
This might leave me no other choice than to retire my beloved Blackstone and dig up my old Samsung phone so that I can drive my car safely with my phone in my pocket…
There is an app called Touch InCall Screen Tweak. With that you can configure so that screen will go off quickly when answering and ending calls and bluetooth headset is used. It works great for me!

I actually tried that app yesterday but didn’t get it working as I wanted. How did you configure it?
I guess I can try it again – would be great if it works!
Well, now I can make a call without worrying about it to end (with the InCall Touch app), but when the call is ended we're back making random calls without knowing to whom.
This amazes me, how this feature can be missing. It’s not something I admit to my iPhone friends who still tries to find something that Blackstone can’t do – cuz this even works on the iPhone!
I'll try tweaking till I or someone else can find a solution to this rather embarrassing problem.
Hello there,
has anyone an idea how to realize this:
blackstone is in standby - bluetooth is activated - bluetooth headset is on - both connected - call comes in - I take the call with the bt-headset - talk - I end the call with the bt-headset - blackstone remains on until the adjusted time for standby is reached
but I would like the blackstone switch into standby mode immediately after ending the call
is this possible ?

This needs addressed - sleep after a call during headset mode
In headset mode the phone does not go into sleep mode or power off automatically after a call. This is a major issue for those of us who leave the phone in the pocket in the car or when using bluetooth headsets. I have finished calls recently and then 5 or 10 mins later my phone would connect to someone random in the phonebook whilst driving which is quite embarrassing "I didnt call you" - "yes you did"!!
In the meantime I am using constant device lock but this is a clumsy solution for what surely MUST be a common problem. Can anyone else not help us out and try to get the device to sleep after a call during headset mode? I would be so grateful for a useful solution that doesnt involve a constant device lock that I dont really need!
Cheers
I'm having the same problem also....
The list grows - surely there must be others out there with the same problem. We should try and get out heads together to crack this one!

ooch aye the noo ...

Sounds good man, keep up posted. Its a major issue for me too!
ok folks .. here is the very annoying answer i got from htc support
You recently wrote us about an issue that you have encountered with your HTC Touch HD. There is only one way to instantly set the device into standby mode: please press quickly the power on/off.
what shall i say ... THAT'S CRAP !!!
and i'm still thinking that there must be a workaround ... redefining the buttons or something like that ... any ideas from the specialists in here ?
c'mon guys - help us out here

that's really strange...just tested it.
connection htc/jabra bluetooth.
htc device lock ON.
an incoming call arrives, pick up the call via bt-headset. end the call via bt-headset. phone is immediately locked again (htc own device lock), display is on. after 1 minute also the display turns off.
or do you mean something completely different?
Same here and it feels retarted.
Ooe of the major purposes of a bluetooth headset is to avoid contact with the device. So having to take out the phone or handle it (in a car/office whatever) after a BT call is rediculous.
BT headset drops call
I am not sure if I should pose my questions here but my Jabra BT headset is connected to my Blackstone on standby mode via BT. However, when an incoming call comes, the BT headset does not get the call but is transfered to the HTC handset instead. I have no problems making outgoing calls on the Jabra headset. It's frustrating when I am driving... could anyone tell me how to remedy this?
Thanks in advance.
end call via BT into standby works with LockMeLite
hello there,
with LockMeLite http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478606 and my samsung wep250 bt-headset
it works
this headset is non-a2dp-capable
dunno if an a2dp capable headset will work, but will test is (next week)

I have tried flashing newer fancy roms and tried various lockers but no applications are intuitive enough to fix this simple fault. When making a call in 'headset mode' the fast sleep mode prevents accidental presses during a call. Unfortunately when the call is ended via handsfree/car kit/recipient, the phone wakes back up to life.
Any locker I have used is active indiscriminantly when pressing the power on button to wake the device from sleep. I have tried lockmelite, hd tweak for inbuilt MS lock, pocketshield and another locker however none have the function to only lock the device whilst in headset mode and after a call has ended. This is a request to developers, expert cooks and modifiers please can anyone help us out?
Thanks a million
Check this, it can do the trick...
h..p://www.pocketshield.net/default.htm
S2u2 V2.04 workes fineas you needs, even look during a call (gives black screen)
I'll do a try
As I have the same request/problem I'll try the following with the help of AGEProfile.
- I create a profile actived when the headphone is connected, when this profile is activated it launches a program named MySuspend so my phone is suspended.
- I create another profile activated when the headphone is connected and there is a call in progress, this profile does nothing but it exists (only)
So when my phone goes connected with the headset (BT) it goes suspended.
When I receive a call it wakeup as normal and the profile is switched to the second one (but does nothing)
When the call finishes, the first profile is activated again and the phone goes suspended.
That's all (and it should work, I just made the setup for that).
Regards,
P.S. sorry for my english because it's not my language.
I also have this same question. After ending the call the screen stays unlocked and will inadvertently call a number sometimes.
I tried
Yes I made a try yesterday evening in real conditions and it work very well
So I'm very happy
I forgot to mention that I also use the Inesoft to have the screen locked when one call come in.
Hope this will be useful for you too

Hi there,
I have a few small questions...
I was trying to help someone the other day with this problem on their HTC Touch HD, but I had the same problem also.
When setting the End Key to lock the handset, its not actually locking it.
Any ideas? The end key works to disconnect open connections, but not to lock?
Also, when someone phones me, with a custom ringtone set on my Phone, it rings once, then doesn't continue ringing, just stops but the person calling remains calling.
Can this be fixed in anyway?
Thank you,
Off late I have been facing multiple issues with the DVP. For info I have the TMO DVP - unlocked and updated it up to 7.8 using the cabsender.
The issues have been present even before for some time and I had imagined they would be fixed after upgrade but no luck. Any help is highly appreciated.
1. When ever I call someone or receive a call the screen keeps on flickering - even if I want to disconnect a call I am not able to end the call as the screen keeps on flickering. Only if the other person disconnects the call can I then use the phone. I cleaned the front sensor etc but no luck. Is there anyway or if anyone else faced a similar issue and can be rectified somehow by changing proximity / sensor settings?
2. Once a call is complete I cannot make another call immediately. I have to wait for anywhere from 2-5 minutes to make another call or switch off and switch on the phone to be able to call again.
3. USSD commands like to know info etc using *AAA# etc work only after I switch off and switch on the phone and for the first time. After I use the phone for any other function the USSD command wont work.
Any help? Thanks
Sorry to be bumping the thread, but any help is highly appreciated regarding the above issues.
