Anyone know how to disable the hardware buttons for the incoming call screen?
I only want to answer/reject calls with the slider, not the hardware buttons as I sometimes touch them by accident while getting the phone out of my pocket.
I've tried PocketShield but didn't like it, although it was able to disable the hardware buttons. Any other suggestions?
Have you already tried s2u2? The slider can receive/reject incoming calls and you also have options to disable the hardware buttons. Works great on my elf.
I tried it some days ago, couldn't get it to work the way I wanted it to, mainly because I don't want to use the locking part. I always lock my device with the power button and I only wanted to have the ability to disable the hardware buttons for incoming calls.
After your message, I decided to install it again and give it another try. Changed some of the settings and I think I finally managed to get it working the way I want to!
It's a bit of a memory consuming app for just disabling the hardware buttons for incoming calls, but hey, it works
Thanks!
If anyone finds a solution without using S2U2, please let me know!
Ok, I have uninstalled S2U2 again. Even though it did do the job, it was also a memory consuming application just for disabling the answer/reject keys during incoming calls and I want to keep my device as clean as possible.
I have searched for hours trying to find a solution to this what I think is a very common problem. How many of you have accidentally accepted or rejected calls because of the hardware buttons? In my opinion, HTC should have thought about this and provide a solution for it.
Anyone with a better solution than S2U2?
Thanks for your input!
New version 1.40 of S2U2 uses MUCH less battery. I almost don't notice, it's running. Great program at least for me.
Since your previous post S2U2 1.4 has been released. This is supposed to address the issues you mention.
can you tell me how you have set your settings for just disabling the hardware buttons for incoming calls in s2u2 ? Thanks
I've used AE Button Plus to disable the 'Answer Call' an 'End Call' hardware keys as I had the same annoying problem of accidentally rejecting a call when taking the device out of my pocket. This works well for me and have now enabled the keys to turn wifi and bluetooth off and on with 3 taps.
Thanks everyone!
I wasn't aware of the latest S2U2 version and I almost gave it another try until I read Anfloyd's post.
I did look at AE Button Plus before, but didn't think it was capable of doing what I wanted: disable the hardware buttons during incoming calls, but still have them functional when there isn't an incoming call (such as showing the phone dial screen which it does by default).
When I looked at the AE Button Plus website, I noticed I couldn't configure the buttons based on the current active screen/program. So, even though I knew I could disable the hardware buttons, I thought I would then loose the whole functionality of them..and that would make the answer and reject buttons on my device useless.
BUT, after reading your message Anfloyd, it got me thinking..I don't need to configure it based on the current screen/program. I can just disable the buttons for 1 tap..and assign programs for them for 3 taps for example.
So, now I have this:
- 1 tap: do nothing. This way, both the answer and reject buttons are not working during incoming calls and I can only use the slider to accept/reject calls.
- 3 taps for answer button: start the phone application.
- 3 taps for reject button: nothing yet, but I'll find something
This is a solution I can work with! I have only tested it for a short time, so if it turns out that AE Button Plus is causing problems I'll give the latest S2U2 another try, but so far this seems to be working just fine.
Thanks again for your input!
ChrisVDD, those options can be found in the S2U2 settings. I don't have S2U2 installed anymore so I don't remember the exact settings. I just disabled all locking features that I didn't need, selected to disable the hardware buttons and chose to use the slider. Give it a try, you should be able to sort it out. If you can't, let me know and I'll install S2U2 again to see what settings you need.

I would like to have :

First, select and hold "Green Phone button".
Then do this from top to bottom:
3. Handle by AEBPlus
1. Single press
1. None
..and select Ok
Then select and hold "Green Phone button" again.
Do this from top to bottom:

Then File > Save and Exit
That's it

Thank you for your fast reply, now It works like I wanted it to do.
Is it possible to end call using red hardware button but not to ignore it before answering? I tried AEBplus and it works like it should but that's not all I needed.

The problem I have with s2u2 is that I cannot mute incoming calls... The voulme buttons are locked... the touch screen is locked and mute on face down also does not work....
Maybe A_C will allow us which buttons to lock in the next release...
Hello
I recently purchased a HTC ozone and I'm pleased overall with the phone. However, I'm having the hardest time getting the XT9 to work. I've repeatedly gone into the XT9 preferences and set it to spell check. (the other two options are already checked) but every time i hit done, and go back in, spellcheck disables itself again. I've even tried to uncheck the other two and hit done, and they too revert.
I've done a hard reset to factory defaults to no avail. There has got to be something that I'm missing.
Thanks for all of your help in advance
Try hitting ALT and the Space key at the same time, then set it from there
Is there another key on the Ozone that works like the alt key. I have a functiion key, but that and space opens the comm manager.
thanks, i really appreciate your time
Solved!
Hello All.
I just wanted to let you know that I FINALLY found how to turn it on by accident. I had to create my first SMS message, and in that menu is the option to turn on global predictive text.
Thanks for all of your support and views. I'm glad to be a newbie at this forum
I have had my Ozone for 3 weeks now. I cannot get the XT9 enabled. I fould where the setting is but it will not save and enable? I aslo cant find it in SMS messge options anywhere?
Found it for the Ozone. Press and hold the "SYM" kery while in text typing mode in SMS or email. It then lets you turn XT9 on & off and saves it.
Is there anyway to make a shortcut to "lock" in Start --> lock ? No app works fine for me, so I have to do it manualy. Thanks
Several options:
1. Set your long press end-key to map to lock.
2. If you use WinMo 6.5, the left soft key in the start menu is for lock.
3. Try this.
I got another question... is there anyway to change START --> LOCK to a different program?
I use S2U2 and I would like to have the LOCK soft key after going into the Start Menu to point to S2U2 instead of the default lock application.

Tap the power button, it locks. Works great. I hated this phone until I got that app, because I kept calling people for no reason.

i just edited a registry setting for it to automatically lock when i hit the suspend button.
I plugged my wife's wired headset into her MT4G, and when I did the long press for the genius/dialer I was asked to pick between the voice dialer or the Genius button and decide if I wanted one as the default... I defaulted to the voice dialer but it doesn't work very well (it just says "setting up" and doesn't activate)... I'd like to switch to the Genius button (which I KNOW works) but I can't find any settings to change my initial choice?
can someone help please?... Thank you

YAY!!!.. thanks a lot... now she can stop being pissed at me for messing with her phone again...

Thanks again
Hi,
i got a little Problem and someone probably help me with a few words:
Sometimes, i get in kind of a "hotkey mode" with the keyboard. Wenn i press "e", he opens emails, when i press "b", he opens the browser. Its impossible to type and the only thing ive found was to reboot my phone.
Can i somehow leave this mode? How do u get in there?
Many Thanks!

Sounds like your search key may be stuck down. Try pressing the keyboard search key and see if it is stuck down.
Sent from a touch tone tele-phone.
Press the search key again (on the hardware keyboard) and you should get out of this mode. I had this same problem running CM7, and you can go into the CM settings and disable all those shortcuts so that it can't happen again.
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
You can disable all the shortcuts from Settings - > Keyboard and language.
I disabled them because I find them pretty useless. The homescreen is a tap away
