Is there any way to avoid answer or reject incoming calls by accidentaly pressing the hard buttons?
This is happening to me sometimes. The phone inside my pocket and, by accident, I answer to some calls. I wish this could be done only by sliding the screen bar, as in Windows Mobile.
Has anyone find a walkaround for this?
Thank you in advance.
I don´t know if I was clear about my question. I mean, the Android port to HD2 has a "bug" witch consists in the ability of answering or rejecting phone calls by pressing the hard buttons, even if the screen is locked.
Has anyone notticed this? Can I disable this?
Thank you!

Remove the telephone functionality of device... Ah I feel old.
Funny But I need a real solution. Doesn't this bother anyone else?
So you want to disable the hardware buttons from being able to answer or hangup phone calls? That's what they're there for, no matter what your screen says. It's a "bug" in winmo also, and every other cell phone out.

Nope, it´s not. In WinMo I can only answer/reject a call using hard buttons only if the screen is unlocked. If it is locked, the only way to do so is by sliding the screen.
Any tips, guys?
I agree on this, for me irs a realy big problem. It happens everytime my phone rings while in my pocket.

I'm glad someone has the same problem as I do. Hope somebody could help us.
I have it too. Not sure sarcasm is going to fix this though!!
I also have this problem when phone in pocket!
couldn't you just remap the call button to something else...?
Well first its not a green button for me.
And yeah! that sux! i guess its the easiest thing that a developer can do.. i imagine that it can be fixed by changing a number from the drivers like "AnswerButton=0 or False"
I am also facing this issue now and then. Solution would be appreciated
I am suffering from this problem, too.
Already posted that on different threads here.
Hoping that this is fixed soon.
Is there any chef reading to this post? Do you face this problem also? It would be nice hearing from you if this problem is easy or not to solve.
Thanks.
It would be very nice if there is a solution for this problem.
Yesterday I started testing Android on my HD2 and I like it. But this problem would be a "no go", becaus I think ppl don't like to talk with my pocket :-/
No solution?

Tried, but every configuration tested, don't prevent accepting/rejecting calls with hardware keys
I think a small tool with two options would be enough:
- Accept calls with hardware button? yes/no
- Reject calls with hardware button? yes/no
I can't find such a tool, so I've to use windows.
For the people who haven't found out yet, I found the solution to this problem.
I know it's a bump but might help some people out.

Hello....
I am sure there are posts on this board for this topic, but yet everything I seem to search for does not find it. I apologize if there is a post and I have missed it!!
Does anyone know how to make the screen turn off when you are on a call? I just cannot seem to find this function. I can easily do this on the Tilt, but for some reason I cannot figure it out on the Wizard. My wife keeps hitting the End Call button on the dialer she uses with her chin and keeps hanging up on people.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Eric
Not one person can help me out??
I know someone out there knows how to have the screen turn off after 30 seconds or something like that while on a phone call. It just has to be an option that I am overlooking.
ahhh,
i really want this feature too
While on the phone just press the power button again on the top of the phone, the screen turns off and the call continues until either party hang up.
Is that what you mean?
I just remembered I posted this a while back as my wife was asking me again.
dav3ywrx - thanks for the tip... can't believe I never thought of that!!! I will try it out tonight.
Thanks again.
No problem, good luck

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.
Hello,
when I do a call on my HD and put the touchscreen out, the device isn´t looked. Badly sometimes I touch the some of the four buttons at the device especially when the HD is in the pocket. So the device is hanging the call up or do something like "hold the line".
Is it possible to protect the device so that this could never happen? Its very stupied when you do a call and suddenly the call is gone because you press by mistake the button.
I hope you could help me with my question.

Did you mean that you do a call over the headset and leave your HD in the pocket?
Yes I do... i make a call over my headset and out it in the pocket back
I just read this post (regarding the Touch Pro / Raphael). I don't know if it helps or if it applies to the HD as well. See the second entry there by aussieak. I don't quite understand what he is saying - but maybe it's because I'm a newbie at this.
Let us know if it helps. I'm sure more people would be interested in finding a solution to this.
EDIT: I just searched Google and found this other post in a Sprint forum. It is about the HTC Touch (not the HD), but apparently pressing the power button at the top in that case should indeed turn off the screen without powering off the phone. Others suggested using third-party software like S2U2, which apparently can be set to lock the screen when a call is answered. This YouTube Video shows the settings screen (at 39 seconds into it, you see the "Blank screen on talk" option). Some people wrote that it works great for them and others say that it is not 100% reliable. Others suggested this program - but unlike S2U2, it is not free. It costs about 13 dollars.
I know this question has been asked already but has anybody yet found a way to disable to hardware buttons whilst the phone is locked to prevent accidently answering or rejecting an incoming call whilst removing the HD2 from your pocket or pouch?
I have tried various software, tweaks that i found whilst searching this site but cant get any of them to work
Had my HD2 since Tuesday and love it, just need to find a way to stop answering the phone when taking it out of the pouch!
This is very important thing and I hope someone will find a solution soon.........
hi
there are solutions, pokectshield and s2u
iosu
I too need this, I have tried the ones mentioned but they either dont work or they have their own slide ontop of the HTC slide, so 2 in effect.
Would be nice to have one that just disables the button!
S2u2 and pocket shield did not lock the volume buttons for me so when in pocket they were still pressed annoying me a lot when I listen to my tunes. Pressing any other button was bringing the screen back to lock so in other words no difference at all.

How is this done with S2U? I installed it and the buttons still worked.
My experience is that if anything the bigger slider caused more chance of it unlocking accidentally, if the phone moves and the screen rubs against your leg. Wasn't an issue with a resistive screen but mine was worse for 'unlocking itself' with S2U. So far it texted a nonsense sms to an ex and rang my mum all by itself - both dangerous!
I always put it in that way yo help protect the screen from being knocked accidentally.
There is a perfectly working solution for this here:

Simple and nice, install and soft reset and never worry about pressing the button while taking your phone out of the cover.

That application is for locking the hardward buttons when in a call, not when the phone is locked, or am I missing something?

It's quite the other way around. At least the cab I installed. Hardware buttons work in call, but when the phone is locked and there is an incoming call the buttons are locked (to prevent the accidental pressing).
Hence, not disabling anything you actually would like to use.
EDIT: This is what the description says:
"InCall Lock will temporarily disable Send (aka Talk, Green) and End (aka Red) hardware buttons when you receive an incoming call in order to prevent accidental call pickups/rejects while you are pulling your device out of your pocket. All other hardware buttons are untouched."
So the name can be obfuscating, but as the description says, the yes/no hardware buttons are disabled during an incoming call (prior to answering), but active during the actual call.

I don't know if I'm misinterpreting the question, but there is a solution for disabling the hardware keys to prevent accidental answer/reject of an incoming call which I've linked to earlier in this thread.
I have that solution installed right now, and when someone is calling I cant answer or reject by pressing the hardware buttons, I have to use the slider on the touch screen.

No one here wants buttons to be disabled when call is incoming. We just want buttons to be disabled when you put device in to sleep.
Go on test it. Put music on in music tab or WM player or any other with your headphones or without. Press red button to put device in to sleep mode (use manual lock if you have disabled auto lock). Press volume buttons and see what happens.
If you have s2u2 or pocket shield or nothing effect is the same.

so how do you want to answer a call with this cab installed and enabled?
i also would like to prevent unwanted presses....but i do want to reject or accept a call on some way, without mispressing a button.
When a call comes in the screen is enabled so I just slide to answer or reject. It won't happen by accident in all likeliness, and removes the huge annoyance of the hardware buttons being accidentally pressed. It's the one thing that majorly pisses me off about this awesome phone.
If they wanted to, they could simply do a cab file that disables them perhaps when the proximity sensor detects the face of the phone is against something. That would be good too, unless I'm not considering some factor.
Hmmm, I've just installed that app and it seems to only partly work.
The reject call button locks perfectly but the answer button does not lock so it can still be pressed. I also managed to press the home button and get to the Sense screen once, but when I tried this a second time it didn't do it, so I think it might be a bit buggy.
A definite step in the right direction though, at least I now have fewer buttons that can be pressed accidentally!
Hi,
is there any chance to lock hardware buttons of my HD2 while incoming call is ringing?
Lockscreen slider is visible, but hardware keys are working, too.
So i accidently press a button while pulling my phone out of my pocket all the time.
I use MDJ Gingerbread NAND v1.4 on euro HD2.
Nobody out there who can help me?
Something new on this issue?
I could do with this too - mine does it all the time as well. Or rather I do!
yea, this issue is a real pain in the ass. I've been tryin to find some info on it for hours now. My HD2 rings in my pocket and in my bluetooth, I click my bluetooth to answer, all of a sudden I hear numbers being pressed like crazy cause my HD2 came unlocked in my pocket when I answered through my bluetooth. Then when i pull my phone out of my pocket... I just sent a text that looks like this, "ssssssssssssjjjjjjjjjjjjjyyyyyyyyyyy4444489ijrojk9su0erh897uw5r" to some foreign number overseas. There has got to be a way to stop this.
