When I make/receive a phone call, and it has the screen with "end call", "speakerphone" and all those buttons, the screen completely stops working, no button presses work. All I can do is use the hard buttons.
End call will work from the hard button, I can get to the home screen with the home button as well, and the touch screen starts working fine again.
I have a few reg tweaks, as well as BSB installed, I can't figure out what is doing it. It's kind of annoying cuz I can't use speakerphone.
It's also annoying that this has been asked about 20 times in the last week. A simple search would have brought you the answer, and I'm half tempted not to give you the answer and make you go search.
Anyway, in BsB Tweaks turn off "Tap Time".
Lol, thanks, I used the forum search and googled it. Searched for about ten minutes....
Apparently I wasn't searching using the right words...
Thanks for your help though.

You're welcome. Just try searching a bit more in future. This is a MASSIVE forum so you probably won't find the answers immediately, and there's a lot of members that remind me of The Emperor from Star Wars. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am

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
Hello,
when I do a call on my HD and put the touchscreen out, the device isn´t looked. Badly sometimes I touch the some of the four buttons at the device especially when the HD is in the pocket. So the device is hanging the call up or do something like "hold the line".
Is it possible to protect the device so that this could never happen? Its very stupied when you do a call and suddenly the call is gone because you press by mistake the button.
I hope you could help me with my question.

Search for LOCK or DEVICE LOCK here...
I think this doesent match my search. I want to look the device in a call, the other works perfect with PocketShild. But my problem with the call is not solved in this program

Did you mean that you do a call over the headset and leave your HD in the pocket?
Yes I do... i make a call over my headset and out it in the pocket back
I just read this post (regarding the Touch Pro / Raphael). I don't know if it helps or if it applies to the HD as well. See the second entry there by aussieak. I don't quite understand what he is saying - but maybe it's because I'm a newbie at this.
Let us know if it helps. I'm sure more people would be interested in finding a solution to this.
EDIT: I just searched Google and found this other post in a Sprint forum. It is about the HTC Touch (not the HD), but apparently pressing the power button at the top in that case should indeed turn off the screen without powering off the phone. Others suggested using third-party software like S2U2, which apparently can be set to lock the screen when a call is answered. This YouTube Video shows the settings screen (at 39 seconds into it, you see the "Blank screen on talk" option). Some people wrote that it works great for them and others say that it is not 100% reliable. Others suggested this program - but unlike S2U2, it is not free. It costs about 13 dollars.
hello all. Im a use rof an old spv. and just got my new HTC HD2
a few questions if i may? i can't figure out and ive been trying since last night, i've searched google high and low as well and called tmobile.
1. the phone when it dims and then goes to sleep, i have to always press a hard button then slide the lock to unlock... is there away to disablehaving to press a hardbutton? it gets really annoying having to press ahardbutton every minute when the phone goes to sleep!
2. when the phone dims after 10 seconds is there a way to set it up so that your first press just undims the screen and doesnt actually press whats under neath it?
3. ive read all over google about the gesture feature, ive asked tmobile. and i cannot get my phone to do any gestures what so ever. ive download and installed the shake and wake and still nothing. i download a program called pocketshield and that completelly locked me out of phone becuase when i shook it it wouldnt turn on i had to take off battery wait a minute and then replace the battery then uninstall the app.
4.the media players.. ive tried coreplayer, windows media player, pocketplayer, the one that plays the most files is coreplayer.. ive noticed in fullscreen mode there are no buttons? everytime i tap the screen ti brings me back to portrait view... is there any recomendaions for a player similiar to core player that has controls on the big screen in landscape view? and that offers all the features coreplayer does? eq, visualizations, plays as many file types etc...
5. ive looked everywhere on how to change email icons the envelopes.. is there away to change those or do we just have to remember the order of the email icons?
thanks for any help or light you guys can shed! i really hope some of these issues can beresolved. i feel ive exhausted my xda,google searching, and phone settings searching.
1. It would consume lots of battery power to constantly monitor the touch screen. You can increase the amount of time before it goes to sleep.
ok i'll just have to deal with it an dwill raise the time.. ty for reply.. anyone else on the other questions please?
TY in advance
could anyone one confirm that the hd2 from the usa allows for shaking? ive rest phone and it doesnt work called tmobile and they have no clue! i'd liek to get me phone to be able to work with gestures.
Thanks
let me rephrase. does anyone know if the htc hd2 has... Windows Mobile phone with a tilt sensor / accelerometer/ g-sensor. or the ability to shake it and it will wake up?
thank you
It has an accelerometer, but there's NO shake to wake up.
Only way to wake up is to press a hard button.
5. if you mean the dirrerent e-mail accounts in sense, when you press on the "slider" that's on the active account and drag it, its expands to the left and shows the account name.
ok.. then what about the posts here about shaking it and tilting it? and what about pocketshield saying that you can shake it, and this link as well?
http://www.mobinauts.com/topic/110094-shake-to-wake-up-your-htc-hd2/
thanks for your reply!!!!. it's like pulling teeth in this forum very tough to get replies!
Apparently the shake to wake is a somewhat "experimental" add-on someone on here made and abandoned, works for some and not for others... nothing official, normal that tmo have no clue about it.
No idea about pocketshield, haven't read reports about that particular function on the HD2. Not very popular apparently, so you'll have to try yourself.
TMO support will help you about what was on your HD2 when you got it, nothing else that you'd install later.
thanx for reply.. well that pocketshield can be dangerous for some.luckily when ya replace battery it brings back the default slider. otherwise people would be locked out of there phones.
one last question and i promise to stay away for awhile.
how to u turn your backlight back on? example you have it set to dim after a minute. and your app. is there a way to undim the phone? instead of clicking on the screen or touching a button and it recognizing your touch and undimming it and selecting whatever you touched? i'd liek to be able to just touch something and it would undim and not select something underneath where i touched.
thanks
Not that I know of. It's been so with every touchsceen device I've ever had, need to either press a hardware key, which usually will do something too, or touch the screen and try to tap in an empty place.
Personally I don't use dim, I've set both dim and turn off to 1min.

That's because this is a developers' site, not a phone support forum.
Discussions are for developing programs, apps and other fun stuff.
If you want tech support there's many forums out there.
You should not be asking questions on here, about how to use your new T-Mobile HD2. I'm surprised your thread has not been locked.

Of course it won't turn on by shaking, phone must be ON for any gesture to be recognized. It is the hardware nature of these type of phones(you always need to press the hardkey, unless it is the phone turning on by itself).
Now, if you meant it didn't unlock when shaking after power on then maybe your g-sensor is not calibrated or you were doing the movement wrong. Take a look at minute 1:20, see how the movement is done:

i did tap the hard button first and then tried the shake movement, and i was locked out. i will redownload pocket and give a fair chance again by following the movement given in the video you posted.. thank you for the explanations guys.
Hey guys/gals!! Long time reader here (my 8525 is still going strong). I searched the forums and couldn't find anyone else with this problem yet.
When I'm in a call, the touchscreen doesn't always work. Sometimes it will and most of the time it won't. I can hit the home key, and the I can navigate through Sense just fine, but when I go back to the in-call screen none of the touch buttons work (thus no mute, speaker, etc). I thought it might have been one of the BSB Tweaks, but since the problem is intermittent I really have no idea.
I'm trying to narrow it down to see if it only occurs when I use the phone book, but it's also doing it when I receive a call. I can slide to answer just fine, it's only the in call screen that's non-responsive. A soft reset fixes the issue for 1 or maybe 2 calls but then it does it again. Driving me nuts!
Appreciate the help!!
FIXED!
While a search on the forums did not find the answer, I started reading other posts and found "Tap Time" option on BSB Tweaks seems to be the culprit. I just turned it off and so far made/received several calls now with no issue!

bingo! it took me about 20 minutes of messing with BsB to get it to work again. thankfully, i love my phone and wasn't as tempted to throw it out of the window as say my old G1...
I have searched completely throughout this site and over on the tmobile hd2 forums to see if i could find any information on a resolution for this. I noticed a couple days back that the call screen wasnt working but all I was trying to do was to hang up the call. I just used the end call button instead. Today i was trying to make a payment through one of the IVR systems where I had to bring up the dialing pad and I was unable to. I have the stock tmobile wm with cookies home tab on top of it. Pardon me if this topic has already been addressed.
Same here
I too have the same problem. But i notice if i press the keypad button during call for a while, the keyboard eventually comes up, but not all the time. Any one with any suggetions?
turn off the 'increase tap time' tweak in bsbtweaks, (or remove the cab if you set that tap time tweak with a cab.)
That was it! Thank you, kind sir!

Yep that's it. I had to play with it for like 30 minutes 2 weeks ago before realizing that was the problem
Is was driving me crazy for quite a while. Now, the problem is gone.
Thanks !!!!!
