Problem with the buttom placement

Just to see if there is workaround?
When i place my qtek in supplied covers, it sometime press the phone buttom switching in phone mode and redial last call.
I lost more than 50 minutes air time just this month.
Did hapend to you? Is any case or covers better to avoid this.
Same for the camera? I always miss press that buttom. Is any way to disactivate that buttom. Being able to switch back when needed naturally.
Besides that i do enjoy my qtek s200

For the camera button you can go to "Start > Settings > Buttons" and assign it "<None>".
As I didn't use the voice dialing I've set the camera to be "Button 4(Hold)".
You could also just lock the phone when it's in your pocket?
From that same location loko down the bottom and select the "Lcok" tab and make sure the first checkbox is checked. "Lock all buttons except the Power button".

Thank you very much
Now it seems so stupid. The problem is that receive a German model. As i don't know nothing about German ... :roll:
Thanks again

Could you not flash it with an English rom if you don't understand German?

When making phone call, the screen got blank

after a few second..
anyway to make the screen remain turn on during phone call?

There is no fault...
So they abuse that you touch anything unintentionally.
Just press the wake up button to use your phone while calling. (On/ Off Button)

The screen going blank is intentional, I think, to save battery. As the phone is at your ear. Yes, just press the green phone button to wake up. It's defaulted in other HTC phones as well.
Someone has a tweak program for this ???

Ive been searching all over to find a solution to this but to no avail. The closest I get is a thread on Diamond (elder brother to Jade) tweak which is not conclusive on this subject.
However this is what I figured out . . . .
There is a sensor (somewhere near the speaker) that blanks the screen the moment you bring your phone to your ear. If you leave your phone face up after pressing call button, the screen remains on, until it senses something come near the phone face. Try covering it with your hand or anything, the screen goes blank. But when you press the 'ON' switch again, it will remain lit. The sensor only works once after first pressing call button.
If after you complete dialling and press call button, if you press the 'speaker' button immediately, the screen will remain on, even if you cover it (the sensor does not work here) or turn off speaker.
So, I put the phone to 'vibrate mode" to indicate when the call is connected (phone options). If you need to use the dial pad for e.g phone banking, then use 'speaker on'.
Anyone else has other findings ?

Maybe this will help..
With the below you can make all the hard buttons to wake up your phone..
Hope that will help someone.
HKCU\Control Panel\Keybd\
and create REG_DWORD "DefaultKeyLock" Value "0"

Default Key Lock....

Brilliant !!! Thanks for sharing.

Is there any way I can make it wake up with just the top (power) button and the round middle button? I don't want the green or red button to wake up the phone because they are raised and may turn on the phone while in my pocket...
Thanks

Well, mine is inconsistent. Sometimes it will turn off sometimes it won't. But mostly it will only turn off once the call is established even if you don't cover the sensor (presume you don't turn on the speaker phone). Can one confirm this or is it I'm having a faulty sensor???

Well, mine is inconsistent too, I mean there is no definitive pattern. I guess it's sensor sensitivy dependant. I'm not really sure how it is set up. So I rely much on the vibrate mode, on press the ON button again, if still curious about the call status.

I have tried to create the registery key for the any key wake instead of the power key only
"DefaultKeyLock" Value "0"
The problem is after i soft reset the registery key is simply gone (i.e. gone, deleted ....)
any ideas?

Not sure why it happened. But you can always add the reg key "DefaultKeyLock" if it's not there.

Does this sensor really exist on the Jade? I did not find any sensor-function, the display vanishes after a few seconds with and without covering by hand if you do not activate the hands-free-mode.

I tried this - its a great idea and works well.... a little too well because when I pop the phone in my pocket sometimes a key gets accidentally pressed, the phone wakes and anything can happen & did like making an unintentinal call or the voice commander activating. So in my case I had to switch it off.
shame - i liked it apart from that. Could the registry be tweaked to set just one other button thats least likely to get accidentally pressed? I'm thinking the enter button perhaps because its recessed . I can see that others have asked for this as well but nothing available yet ?
thanks

Prevent screen switching off during phone call

Hi,
I have read and tried what I could find, but it does not work on my Jade.
Are there any new ideas how to keep the screen from swithching off?
Joe
This is copied from the Jade Manual:
Call functions
When a call is in progress, tap the available buttons on the Phone screen to put a
call on hold, dial another contact for a phone conference, enter notes about the
conversation, and more.
None of the above is possible because the screen disappears by itself.
Do HTC know about it? This seems to be a major f...up.

This problem has been discussed in many threads, there is no real solution.
If you activate the speaker for hands-free immediately after connecting the screen keeps on.

on mine the screen goes off... but if i press one fo the direction buttons it comes back on and stays on so i can use the keypad or look at contacts etc

Thank you guys.
I will try to contact HTC because I think this is a major fault. There is no access to those Call Functions if the screen disappears.
But people should also have the choice of switching the screen off to conserve battery during long conversations. That should be one of the Call Functions.
I tried to bring the screen back by pressing the OK button, but instead it ended the call. So why do we need the END button ?? Poor HTC. They are in front of themselves. Ever producing new half-baked models without thinking it properly out.
I have not tried the < or > buttons, but it would be risky because usually the OK button gets activated as well.
Has anybody on any HTC forum tried to petition HTC? I think this issue would be a nice one for a petition.
Joe

you say you dont want the screen to switch off but u dont want the < and > active?
tring to understand what you want/dont want here?
if i press < or > the screen comes on fully functional...

I did not say I did not want the < > keys active. I don't care what those keys do because I don't use them. The reason is that when I use them, I always inadvertently activate the Enter button. On my phone that terminates the call - the same as the End key.
It would be nice (and even logical) to have the Enter (OK) button to wake up the screen instead of the directional buttons. Maybe there is a registry tweak to do that.

I think it's about getting used to and familiarising with the intended design and button functions. Now after nearly 12 months using Jade I have no complaints. Even using phone banking, no problem with inputting the required numbers. Concur with MvBoe and DJHicks. It should also be acknowledged that this is 80% PDA and 20%phone (roughly).

I was playing with the < and > keys to try to bring the screen back on, and I can definitelly tell you it does not work on my phone.
While doing that, I accidentally pressed the Power on/off switch - and voilá - the screen came back on and stayed on.
I repeated the experiment to confirm it.
Why didn't I think of it earlier? So obvious.

Good for you Joe. I suppose many other Jade users are already using that method. I thought you knew it already but wanting something more simpler.

Also with other buttons if you set your phone to wake up with all buttons. See item #10 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476493

locking on vanilla android 2.1

hi,
i have the following problem.
If you lock your phone via hang up key you can simply activate it via home button (press twice).
I desperatly look for a possibility to deactivate this behavior, cause i already phoned like 1 hour accidentially with this "bug".
Any help appreciated!

I think setting up lock pattern will help. Even if the phone wakes up it won't be able to make calls or other unwanted stuff.

i have the standard unlocking slider, which is really fine.
the problem is that you can go around it with the home button.
so i think using a patting will not help
i have to disable the home button while the screen is off or something.

You can't "go around" the lock pattern with home button. So the device still can wake up in your pocket but can't make a phone call
I think this is the only real workaround for this problem (apart from building your own kernel with altered button mapping)

Buttons on phone blocked while call.

Hello,
First: Sorry for my bad english.
Second: I didn't find an answer via search.
Third: My Problem
Oneday, while a call, all buttons on screen don't work. I can see them, but by pressing them nothing happens. It is only possible to end a call via hardwarebuttons. The next day all works fine, then after a softreset the same Problem. and so on. I can't find any reason for this behavior. Between work and don't work I don't changed anything.
It is not a big Problem, but sometime I need the Numberblock for some calls, but I can't open them, because the button are "dead"
I hope you hve the flashing Idea for this Problem.
Thank you very much.

Check whether the below setting is enabled.
Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Today > Items
The setting "Today timeout", at the bottom left hand corner,
should not be enabled/selected.

Thank you for your very fast answer, but unfortunately it don't works.
What makes me wondiering, that the Phone works sometimes like it should. I can use all buttons while calling. The other day without changing something the buttons are blocked. I use G-Profile. Is it possible that this program is responsible for this behavoir? I have uninstalled it with no changes in behavoir. One thing additional: I found out, that not the whole screen is disabled. I can use the tastbar on top to show me notifications and and powerlevel (is this the right word?) for example. So, only the buttons belong to the Phonescreen are blocked.
