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.

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.
So, I have PocketShield installed and it's set to slide or light unlock and answer. Quite often when I get a call it takes so long to unlock and answer, the person is gone...
There are maybe a few options -
1) I've installed and uninstalled so much stuff, maybe I need to start fresh? I have noticed the HD is a little 'laggy' now. Should I hard reset and install things back on slowely, testing it's responsiveness as I go?
2) Maybe I should switch to S2U2? I used this for a long time on my Kaiser, but have been concerned by everyone saying it drains battery power.
3) Do I need a screen lock program? The device only wakes up on a phone call and now you have a slide to answer/ignore anyway. Do the hardware keys do anything at this point? Am I safe to carry it round in my case without a screen lock?
Does anyone else suffer from this, or just me?
Thanks for any help/advice in advance.
Having the same issue. Sometimes my slide option simply doesn't work first few attempts. My solution is to use the "answer call" key beneath the main screen until this gets resolved.
S2U2 works like a charm on the HD and it doesn't draw additional battery as far as I have seen over the past few days.
When u have a call, u don't need to slide so you unlock the device then accept/reject the call.
Depends on what you have set, you can either have the original accepting/rejecting HTC screen poping up to take/reject your calls,
or you can set it so u have a new slider appearing on the wallpaper of S2U2 to accept/reject the calls
Try it, you won't regret it guys.
Well, yesterday I hard reset my HD and installed just the stuff I wanted. I've gone back to S2U2 and everything seems much much better so far. The only annoying thing is sometimes the phone wakes in landscape mode still, even though it's set to not rotate in Gyrator (and doesn't when it's woken, it stays in whatever it is in.)
Whats the difference between S2U2 and the phones default slide to answer phone ?
In other words, why install S2U2?
Its a very well presented Screen Lock, that's why. The question is just how to go from that to answering a call...
Id I have S2U2 installed, and a call comes in on my HD, what happens? does s2u2 take over from the default "slide to answer" system?
Yes it does. I think the problem I had was it wasn't doing that properly before hand. They were obviously conflicting with each other and I was struggling to answer calls.

Well S2U2 will lock your phone screen and buttons so you do not start by mistake an application or a phone call when the device is in your pocket.
Even if by mistake u click on the power on button, ur device is still locked until u unlock it using a slider like on the i-phone.
It allows u to display a wallpaper of your choice, different then the one on your today screen or in TF3D. It allows u to display clock date, network signal, tasks, missed calls, SMS, etc ...
Try it, it's free and very nicely designed
I tried to use S2U2 and found that just like every other locker it is behaving wrongly after a call - it leaves the device unlocked! So if I listen to music and get a phone call I'll have to pull it out of the pocket to lock again. There is a silly option to lock after each call of course, but this is just stupid - I just want the device to stay locked until I unlock it - how difficult is this?
Funnily, the only locker behaving properly is the stock Windows one, but it has a backlight bug and switches the device to Home screen.
It's just amazing how nobody can do such a basic function right.

Just tried it few seconds before posting, called myself from the office phone, answered the call using the slider is S2U2, the screen turned off, I ended the call by pressing on the end call button on my HTC touch HD, and the S2U2 screen lock was there, the device was still locked.
It works perfectly with the touch HD.
Ive noticed that when the phone rings in my pocket and I attempt to pick it up, I often accidentally hang up since I touch the END-key on the way up from the pocket.
Ideally it should only be possible to answer the phone by sweeping finger across screen, but it turns out that also hardware keys are active once it wakes up on incoming call.
Anyone having same problems as me?
Is there a fix for it?
Thanks!
Here's InCall Lock - a program I made for my HD but it should work on any WM5+ device including HD2. Requires .Net 3.5.
Just tried this and couldnt get it to work :-(
Settings/Menu/All Settings/Lock/Display and choice Windows Classic.
not working
seams like all the programs available don t work with the leo, any solution please?
also deeply annoyed by this. Normally S2U2 was doing this on my HD, but even that fails with HD2
Hi all!
I have a problem with my HD2, that it won't lock after ending the call which I received while it was locked.
I'm aware there are threads about this, but none has a definite solution. So I contacted HTC support, and they told me to flash newest ROM. Before I do that, I want to check with you will it really help.
So please, try following procedure, and tell me your results:
1. Lock the phone.
2. Have someone call you.
3. Phone should unlock, allowing you to answer.
4. Answer.
5. End call (doesn't matter if it's hardware button, red end button, or caller hangs up)
6. What happens now? Is your phone locked (as it should be according to manual and common sense) or is home screen shown, and phone is not locked.
Thank you. Please also state your ROM.
Followed your steps. It really doesn't relock the phone o.o.
I'm on Dutty's 1.8

I have the same issue, tried have used several roms and none lock after hangup. its a pain when using headset and the phone is in my pocket...
Thank you for your replies. It strange how it doesn't bother more people, to me it's almost as big as SMS issue. We should all write to HTC.
being as i don't actualy use the phone for talking to people much i haven't noticed this but yes i totally agree this is bad
it probably doesnt bother many people as all you have to do is press the hang-up hard-key and it locks the screen...
I am running the latest 1.66 WWE standard ROM - same here remains unlocked after call.
I have tried pocketshield which does lock after call BUT it is VERY VERY buggy. It keeps changing settings on its own and at the moment I cannot access the keypad in a call so I can't use an automated service where you press number - pulling my hair out.
I have tried Dutty, Miri and Leo Lite Roms - they don't address the issue.
This is a major problem for me - never occurred with my HD (blackstone) so why has HTC introduced this and not sorted it????????
I'm using official 1.66 ROM amd the HD2 does not lock after a call, especially bothers me as I use Bluetooth pretty much all the time. resorted to using touch lock pro and lockandoff. setup touch lock pro to use tapi, and also to run lockandoff on hangup.

The keypad issue is resolved in the newest beta 3.2.9 (http://forums.jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?3,7368). This version also allows to "auto unlock" by using the proximity sensor which is very handy on the HD2.
About changing settings on its own... no idea, never happened to me
do you know if there is a registry string to make sure to lock the phone immediately after a call is from the screen or hardware button?
Thanks
A very simple solution (although a bit boring in time) is to use a password to unlock your phone. If a password has been used, the phone locks right after a call ends.
I know it's not the funniest thing, having to enter a password each time you want to unlock your phone, but hey, it does the trick!
And yes, it really is bad! Much cheaper and less sophisticated devices do that... Pfff...
both s2u2 and pocketshield have this ability. s2u2 is free, but pocketshield can be had for about 7.50. Much more functional than the stock lockscreens.
pocketshield I tried but I hate the screen because it hides the taskbar, possible that there is a registry string?
I downloaded S2U2 and tried it. Looks like a nice app at first, but:
a) It removes the "mute ringer" button when receiving a call. You may not see the exact same message, cause I'm translating from Greek, but I am talking about the gray button under the answer/reject slider.
b) It removes the "silent when I pick up" option. Again translation from Greek, I am talking about the option to turn down the ringer when you lift the phone.
c) After the application is removed (eventually, I couldn't live without the two forementioned features), I had the same problem I had before, the phone wouldn't lock with the "power" button, nor would it lock after some time of inactivity.
Code:
showpost.php?p=8029180&postcount=14
I had to hard-reset it once again...
Such a shame...
Hello!
I've had my phone broken so I took it in service. The problem is that they did something to my light sensor and now, during call, the screen won't turn off. That is a big problem because I keep pushing buttons and I wnd up calling people.
So, What options do I have to lock the screen during a call? (I should be able to unlock it when I need it).
I saw something in WM 6.5 (oh, I forgot to mention: I still have WM 6.1 - the original). During a call, you have to slide to be able to push the buttons. There is an application for WM 6.1 that does this?
So, anyone could help?
Thank you!
Search for Touch Lock Pro. You can do a number of things every time the call connects, from lock to shut off screen to start an app.
