The Red Button

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any way that you can tweak the registry or install any application to enable the red button to close (or minimise) the phone dialer after completing the call (as you would do on a normal phone). It seems really silly to drag out the stylus to close (or minimise) the phone dialer after receiving a call.

Just assign record button to OK/Close function.

Red button problem
Well, I can't even get my red button to turn off the phone (although it says in the manual that it does this). Which means that I have to get out my stylus to turn the phone off if I, say, pop into the library. Even then the stylus click (2 clickes, as it brings up a menu first) doesn't always work, and when it does it is slow. I just want to pres a button , and IDEALLY WITHOUT HAVING TO OPEN THE CASE (but that's anotheer topic!). Has anyone else had this problem; do you know how to solve it?

@Cathy
Hi, Have you done a soft reset? Try .
Have you install new programs recently?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is a known bug. It just doesn't work the way the manual describes. Currently, I know of no way around it, although I think everyone wants that feature back, so I guess HTC will fix it in a future ROM upgrade.

How to answer phone...

...only after pressing the green button or touching the answer text on screen??
I hate when is incoming a call, then I pickup the hermes from the case then I see that I've already answered the phone because some button was pressed during the pickup...
So if there's a call that I want to ignore at the moment, I can't (because I need to take the phone off to see who's calling).
Is there a solution for it? I searched the forum but could not find a similar problem.
Thanks

I had a similar issue while using the default case; it may be magnetic-related.

In my case I'm sure that this happend because some button was touched... I almost always see that my browser is running without opening it.

I am using MDA case and no problem so far.

I had a problem with cancel button getting pressed every time I pulled to phone out from the case to answer a call.
I installed AE Button Plus http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php to disable that button.

End Call key and wierd start menu

I admit defeat, I've serached and searched for both these issues so forgive me if they are stupid questions
First daft question, how does the end call key work? the actual hard button, not the one on the screen. I know it works because if I press it while in the control panel it'll beep and drop back to the today screen but try as I might when I have the phone app up it just will not end a call..... Whats it for if it doesn't do that?
The reason I need to know is my case has a hard cover for the screen so without opening the case I cant press "end" on the touchscreen.
Second daft question, sometimes when typing on the keypad (any of them) sometimes the startmenu pops up and I end up opening an app instead of pressing a key. So annoying when it happens LOL
I've tried loads of WM6.1 roms to resolve the problems but generally find something that doesn't work and am finding that WM5 (The original Orange UK ROM) is more stable and certainly quicker but nothing I do resolves these two problems.......
Oh and while I'm here, does anybody know which is the best threaded SMS thingy for WM5? loved that feature on 6.1
Thanks in advance for your time guys

Hello. I also have teh problem with teh start menu wich pops up when I touch the screen. Sometimes it happens more often, sometimes no. Anyone knows what might be the problem?

Is there a way to automatically lock the keypad during a call?

Is there a way or even a program to automatically lock the keypad once a call is connect, without me having to do it each time?

I would like to know this as well. Anyone who could help out?

Yes yes yes !!! I need also .... I'd already stopped about 10 calls trying to lock the screen or when in my jeans ... any solution ?? I need it !

+1 i was going to ask that question as well

I need that 2

yeah hate having to hold the phone 2cms away from my ear incase i drop the call.

RE:
You can try S2U2 - there are two options => "Blank screen on talk" and "Lock on talk". I prefer "Lock on talk" because of automatic activation backlight (proximity sensor) in case of removing the device from your ear...

Thank you goodbreak,
but I'm not so happy to install a different program to make a so "simple" operation that with my previous P3600 I realized simply pressing the on-off button ...
Still searching for an alternative solution ...

I know of a Program that does exactly what you guys are asking for... But i havent tried it myself....Let me know if it works for you

Thanks also to you, bshakil.
But all this program make too operation not useful for this issue.
The solution should be very simple. Separate the off (hardware) button from End call button.
A simply solution should be to assign to a different hardware button the Off operation.
It should be possible ?
Thanks to all for any advice !

I totally understand it ... my previous phone was tytn2 and i miss seperate suspend button as well..
But with only 5 buttons available on the handset (excluding Volume) . i dont think we can assign a button for suspend only...

thanks! i m now using smartlock it work great

Lock key and backlight problem (B7610)

First I noticed that my Lock button doesn't work anymore. When I press it, nothing happens. I thought it's a bug or something so I flashed different Roms but the problem still exists...
it is not a hardware problem, because i can hard reset my device normally.
When the phone goes to stand-by mode, it stays off for one second and then it turns the screen and backlight back on. That runs my battery out quite quickly.
I have searched forum for this problem, but did not find any answer.
Is there a solution for this??

the same problem here!!!
have someone an idea?!

I've had the same problem with my Omnia i8000.
But my Phone will come back on only if I am listening to Music.
Does this happen to you while listening to Music ? If Yes, then just turn the volume one step down. Thats a workaround I've found for my phone.

has anybody fixed this issue on their omnia pro yet?
i am facing the same issue, the screen is always on as the lock key doesnt do anything....the only time the screen shuts off is when using the touch music player after 60 sec.(backlight setting when phone not on external power)......screen turns on when the song ends.....hard reset to factory settings doesnt fix the issue......plz help if u hv a solution figured out....thnx

Amazing... You are my lifesaver...I have been facing this problem since last one month.
Your idea worked for me but can you tell why this problem occurs? and this is a temporary solution...Is there any permanent solution to this problem?

Greetings to all. I had this problem for a while. I solved it with 2 programs - the first is AEButton and the second Smart Lock. I mapped the W&L button to "lock device"(AEButton). After that going to SmartLock ticked: Lock screen and then stand-by. In this way I used the W&L buttons as lock key. Worked for me, hope it works for you!
P.S. I am using custom rom without the touchwiz interface, I dont know if that makes any difference!
EDIT: It fixes the issue partly...the screen pops out every 20 seconds or so.... Seems to me it is a hardware problem. Flashing with different ROMs doesn`t seem to work.
