Stopping accidental clicks/presses from face when on phone?

Anyone know how to stop an accidental clicks or other screen presses from taking place when I've got the phone to my face during a call?
Si.

I use a freeware app called Screen Off, download it here:

Basically when I make a call or answer a call I have screen off assigned to a button, so I can then press the button to turn the screen off. To turn the screen back, just press the power on button.\
Hope this helps,

Or maybe you could simply turn PDA off with a single power button press...and when you're finished simply turn it on. Remember that the radio is always running (unless you hold the power button for 5s).

My screen turns off automatically after about 20 seconds when on a call - haven't set it to do this - in fact can't even find an option - it just seems to be the default setting. The only way to turn it back on is to press the green or red buttons, or just flick the volume control either way - works for me. (O2 XDA Mini s)

Macrinus - thx that works a treat.

That's weird, your screen turning off after 20 seconds, mine turns off as configured in "Turn backlight after..." and "Turn off device...".

Yeah, it is weird - bit annoying, but sensible really to save the power - Perhaps its just the device turning off then, with the phone still running .... comes back to life with a flick of the volume though - touching the screen won't re-activate it. Will have to time it a bit more closely !

Radio on screen off
I too turn the device off when I'm on a call (although I only discovered I could without ending the call this morning). Otherwise, my ear activates the Start menu.
Doh!

if only the backlight is turned off, the screen WILL still react to face contact!
I understand that either the device (less the phone side!) via power button, or the screen must be turned off via an utility.
It may exist, but I know no proggie able to lock the touchscreen without turning it off!
(pitty, my axim X50v can lock the screen without turning it off via a Hw sliding button9

Stop accidental key presses?

Anyone have a solution for this? I have my Wizard go to standby after a short time and always make sure it is in standby when I put in in my case. However, when I receive a call and pull it out of the case, I almost always press one of the buttons. So when I answer the phone I have the camera going, contacts open or the connection manager open. I use all the buttons so I don't want to disable them completly. I wash there was a way to disable all buttons except the answer button for like 5 seconds after a call starts ringing. Or, be able to set buttons to not activate unless pressed for 2 seconds or so. Or, require 2 presses to activate. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Turn on the password (4 digit one is fine) and set to 0 minutes, the phone will "lock" as soon as you go into standby but when it rings you will be able to answer with the red/green buttons but nothing else until you put in your password.

Thanks, I will give that a try. I used a password before but it slowed things down so much that I removed it. I have done quite a bit of optimizing since then and will try it once more.

it does slow the use, and gets annoying (i still use it) but it does work until i find a decent app to do it. All it really needs is 2 touches or 2 buttons to unlock but not found anything yet... \

I have solved this with litle less work .I have Device lock Bar on the top, under date , so you need twice down and middle buton to lock the
device.

device lock doesn't seem to play well with the password application. if you have password activated you can do a device lock but when you put your device on standby and bring it to full power it is unlocked. if you use device lock without password it works.

any solution to lock keyboard during a call ? i always active some functions with my ears(...) when i speak

starseb - switch your phone to stand-by mode... the radio (phone part) should remain on, and you can continue calling. Then just switch it back on when done ( or not %) )

sorry for my english, but i make i make a mistake. i would say how to lock screen during a call.

Is there a good way to unlock by pressing just keys?

Try christoph's deltaLock map it to a hw button then set it to be unlocked by the same hw button.

broke my screen on/off button

is there an exe taht turns the screen on and off? and couldn't i just bind that to my camera button?
i did search..
thanks

You may be able to turn the screen off programatically, but how exactly would you expect to turn it on?
Of course, binding that to a button that actually works could do the trick. I think there a few freeware programs out there that allow you to change the bindings of the buttons (sry, can't remember a name, but if you google it you should be able to find one in no time).
On the other hand, phone off disables all buttons except the on/off button, so that might not work either.

i'm downloading vito button mapper now.
getting the screen to come back on was also my main concern. the only way i get it to come on now is by plugging it into the computer or resetting it. I don't always have a usb cable and a computer on hand, nor do i want to wait 5 min for my touch to restart to make a simple phone call.
any help would be GREATLY appreciated.. leaving for a trip in like an hour so i'd like to get this done..

Wake up on screen touch

I've searched and can't find a setting so it comes on when I touch the screen. I have limited mobility in my hand so that would make a big difference for me.
THANKS!

I use a software called Cyberion Voice commander ( this may work as well with Microsoft Voice command as well ) and when i press the button on my bluetooth headset it would wake up the screen and then askk for me to submit a command. hope this tid bit helps as currently there is no touch screen to wake up. you either need software that runs in the background to wake it up via bluetooth etc, or you need to press the power button on the side. this is probably due to the way this phone works as well does many windows mobile's and if you could wake it up with the touch screen it could accidently get turned on just being in a pocket , or handbag etc.etc.

Touch screen stops working during calls

when i am in a call and phone is not on my face i can not use the touch screen like press speaker, menu, mute ect. but if i do a soft reset on it then it works for a few min. then stops again. any fixes?

Have you lowered the touchscreen sensitivity either by registry tweaks, BsB Tweaks, HD Tweaks, etc.? If so, one of the known errors is that the active call screen will stop working and you have to use the hardware keys.

Did you happen to perform this tweak?
44. Prevent Accidental Link Activation When Scrolling
Do you scroll and find you accidentally click on something? This tweak is for you.
HKLM/System/GWE/Touch/Filter/Minimumtaptime
Change from 0 to 30​
If you did, that's the problem, it breaks the phone app and makes all the buttons non-responsive while you are on a call.
Just change HKLM/System/GWE/Touch/Filter/Minimumtaptime back to 0 and the buttons will magically start working again.

Actually, the buttons do work, you just have to poke it "harder" and longer. I would touch and rub my finger over the end-key a couple-times and then it works. It's probably a result of the decreased sensitivity hack.

yes i did do that mod. but i changed it back and it seems to be ok now. thanks for the help

while we are on the subject does anyone know how to move the unlock slider to bottom and clock to top on today screen?

I thought it is a function of WM6.5 to disable touch-button during call to prevent accidently touching them with your face
if you want to use those button just slide along the length of that button and it will work just fine (work for me). And after you active any button by that way, all touch button will work as normal.
