I love my HD but there's one really annoying thing
When my Calendar warns me about an event, my HD wakes up, vibrates and gives a audible tone. That's all OK, BUT... being awake the touch screen is now also active! It happens regularly that when the system is in my pocket and this happens I start calling people...
When I had this, I loaded TouchLockPro but that never helped for this...
What do I do about this? Alarming me is OK, enabling the buttons or screen is not!

hello everyone, quick question
im looking for a locking program that will lock the screen when i press the power button (device goes into standby) and when it wakes up
the default locking program with WM is annoying because you can lock the phone BUT when u get an incoming call or text message, the screen becomes unlocked again and its easy to "answer" it accidently when its in your pocket. this is particularly annoying with text messages, because most of the time i wont even realize i have one and the phone will be awake for hours draining the battery and waiting to be pushed. anyways ive done several searches and come up with the following solutions, none of which work for me
1. S2U2, i dont like it, i tried it, wont use it again
2. SensorLock - An EXCELLENT locker, except it wont work on phones without Accelerometers...works wonderfully on the diamond tho
can anyone suggest something to me
First, set timeout for turning screen off autoamtically. This will solve SMS wakeup problem - screen will turn off automatically after some time.
Next thing, incoming calls - there is great Onyx ROM with Opal's slider - to answer a call, you need to slide your finger from center to left (or to right to ignore it). You can't answer accidentally using it
i appreciate your suggestions but neither works for me
i tried the opal but it didnt work properly, i actually had to hard reset to get rid of it
as for the timeout, it still doesnt solve the problem of the phone becoming ACTIVE as soon as a notification or text message is received
Hi,
Sometimes the clock on my HTC Touch HD is set at the wrong time. Sometimes minutes, sometimes several hours. This messes up my reminders and alarms; very annoying.
It think the clock is accidentally changed in my pocket; when I get a calendar reminder the phone turns on the screen. When I ignore the reminder and leave the phone in my pocket, the clock is big target to push accidentally.
I can think of several solutions:
-Lock the phone every time, which is annoying.
-Change some setting so the phone doesn't turn the screen on with reminders.
-Make the time/date change unavailable from tapping the clock.
Has anyone else ever encountered this problem?
And solved it?
Thanks!
Jasper

I managed to change the time zone and had a shock when I awoke one morning
normally I leave my phone locked
I use s2u2
which has the time and most everything else I need displayed upon it
that works for me

Ok, to answer your query:
-Easiest solution is lock the phone every time - why is this annoying.
-Change some setting so the phone doesn't turn the screen on with reminders - Go to Start > Settings > Sounds & notifications > and disable alarms/reminders
-Make the time/date change unavailable from tapping the clock - Not sure if this is possible
-Use SU2U
Problem remains
Hi,
Thanks for the replies so far!
I have downloaded and installed S2U2. With that app, locking is indeed no longer annoying (I meant that the built-in locking is annoying; press and hold the hang-up button, etc.)
About the reminders: I don't want to disable reminders and alarms; I just don't want the screen to be turned on so I can't accidentally touch any buttons when I leave the phone in my pocket.
But.... Even with S2U2, the problem remains. Last weekend I had the phone in my carkit (Brodit holder, absolutely no buttons pushed). And without ever touching anything, not even receiving a call, the clock just changed about 20min. all of the sudden. I now think it has to do with mail being synced: my work email through activesync and my gmail. It probably syncs the clock of either of those mailservers. But then I still don't understand because the clocks of both servers are correct. And if the would be off, it would most likely be by a fixed offset (probably full hours), not random....
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jasper
Try a hardreset

I have the same problem. My clock changes without touching it in pocket or something like that. I thing it could be some sync error. I turn off automatic time zone switching, hope it helps.
Sometimes the clock is wrong after downloading emails. But I'm not absolutely sure yet.
Solved
After turning off all time sync, the clock is now going ok. For the last two weeks, no problem with clock settings...
I guess post title says it all..
Whenever I start a phone call, the screen goes off...it is very annoying.
Any way to stop that behavior ?
I have searched this forums with no luck.
I am running Modaco's 2.3 ROM on an unbranded hero.
I have tried using Powermanager tools to define a 2min timeout in the "screen off during call" feature but with no luck.
thanks for the help!
Cheers,

There is an app called shake awake which wakes up the screen during a call when you move it away from your face.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.maplekeycompany.apps.shake
Thanks. i'll give a try but the bad reviews are scaring me.
Is there a setting anywhere for that screen turning off while on call ?
i didn't liked "shake awake" the calls got dropped when the phone "shaked" sometimes i had to call the same person 3 or 4 times because the call ended. first i thought it was my phone but the problems started after installing shake awake. after i removed it my phone worked again
Keepscreen does the trick. Works absolutly great. The full version is able to keep the screen on with every application. Very handy when reading mail, browsing etc. You must set youre screenout delay in settings from the phone to 30sec.

I'd like an app that actually does kill the screen as soon as the call button is pressed. Sometimes the Hero is too slow to turn off the screen and you hang up the call with your cheek.
Thats annoying.
There's something odd that is happening during calls. It seems like the screen is still active as every time i close a call quick settings get changed or notifications get different or i find the calendar open. I think that's because my ear or my cheeck touch the screen so they move things around. Also i can hear the lock sound (sometimes lock-unlock in a row) sometimes. Any ideas?
Every time my Ring App notifies me, it turns on my screen, the problem is if i ignore it and it stays in my pocket, the screen will stay on while moving around in my pocket. Other notifications will sound and vibrate but not wake my screen.. i looked thru the Notification settings, but still cant figure it out.
any help is aprreciated, thanks
I have the Ring app, and never had that problem.

Interesting, so if you are looking a your phone with the screen off and trigger your Ring Doorbell.. your phone screen stays dark?
Maybe i need re-install the app.. hmmm
I've tried looking into my settings but I can't seem to find notification settings in the actual Ring app. I believe the usual behavior is the screen goes from AOD to with lock screen, if I interact with it it goes back to AOD. I don't know if the screen goes on when in my pocket, but it's never on when I take it out even after a motion detection

I have the same issue on Pixel 2/XL. It is very annoying. I have tried everything, but have not been able to disable the screen wake. I contacted Ring to request a feature to disable screen wake, but of course they did not respond.
This is still the most annoying thing. My phone is rooted and I have yet to find a solution that keeps the app from waking the screen. Of all the apps I have, Ring app is the only one that misbehaves this way.
