Im running MattC Leo Sense which uses a slide/lock for both the phone lock and to answer phone calls. I was able to change the phone lock slider from up/down to left/right but I want to do the same with answering phone calls.
What happens with incomming calls is someone calls me and I pull my phone straight up and out of my pocket. When I do this, the phone rejects the call because the phone rubs against my inside pocket and slids the answer/slide to reject phone call. If I could change the answer/slide from up/down to left/right then this wouldnt happen.
Does anyone have this issue and/or know of a fix?
Thanks

you can just set a screen lock on it and it doesnt show up until u unlock the screen lol.. thats wat i have or else it answers or ignores people in my pocket.. so with the connect the dot screen lock it just rings and shows u who it is until u unlock the screen...
Can you please tell me how you changed the unlocker from up/down to left/right. I would really appreciate.

same problem here, i've tryed the lockscreen tactic. but i find that very annoying. I have no program skills but there must be some guy who can make a small apk that deletes the slider and replaces it with nothing =) so i can just use the hard buttons on my HD2...
Just to bring the issue up again im still having massive problems with calls being ignored or answered (depends on which way the phone is in my pocket)
Anyway have any idea, ive tried widget locker but that only seems to apply to lock screen and not phone call screen.
This issue had anoyed me for a while as well. I have tried widget locker and that works great for the phone lock, but as mentioned earlier in this thread - not for the incoming call locker.
If someone fixes this for the sense based ROMs, they will be my hero!
cyanogen mod ROM includes the "slide to answer" from lockscreen window similar to "widget locker" app. i just wish they would include the option to add widgets and shortcuts to the lockscreen like widgetlocker does

I have the exact same problem, and looking for a fix.
same problem here
people hung up on me because phone answered in my pocket and they would hear noise while I'm removing it from my pocket/case >.>
setting a lock screen is so annoying, now I remove my phone carefully so I don't answer by mistake.
[edit] I've searched around the net, and downloaded a few new lock screens. there's one called "simply lock screen" it has an option to disable the slide to answer, and it will be replaced by the normal answer buttons you get when the device is not sleeping. it might work, but there's still chance that the answer/dismiss buttons will be pressed when you remove the device from the pocket
same problem here... no one has a clue yet?
the problem is htc sense...to avoid this problem i have switched to stock android builds...
There are a couple of apps out there that can help, the best I have found is Easy Answer Button. It is a bit tempermental, but if you install it as your last app after a fresh flash, it tends to work better - at least imho.
Others are Advanced Telephone (also free) and EZAnswer which will cost you a couple of bucks. (The link is to the 2 day trial).

Why don't you just delete htclockscreen.apk from system/app.
It will change sense up and down answer to left, right standard android lockscreen.
Use root explorer or the like and reboot afterwards to see changes.

Hi, I have a problem with my phone sometimes. When i'm on the phone or the phone rings and i go to take it out of my pocket or its case, the ignore softkey is UBER fricken sensitive and sends the caller to my voicemail. Is there is a way to basically disable the softkeys when the phone is in use or when the phone is ringing? I use the softkeys for other programs but this is really frustrating. Thanks.
bump anyone?
i find it hard to believe that NO ONE has an answer to this...i assumed this would be something easy to remedy... :roll:
Well i have the Telus version of the HTC Touch Diamond. And sadly enough it does not have a light sensor (for some stupid reason). So i was wondering if somone could make/find a tweak that could make it so when you aare in a call the screen would not become useless but you just have to put a bit more pressure than you would normally. Because my cheek always touched the end button and it pisses me off. So you would just have to push a little harder to press the end button.
Also i dont like how you cant use ringtones as SMS/TXT sounds. Well you can but it just plays till the ringtone is over. I was wondering if there is a way that you can make it so when you recieve an SMS/TXT than you all you have to do is either tap the screen wthout anything happening from pressing it(unless you press the message tab), or to touch the center button (cause its touch sensetive) also without anything happening.
anyone??
the second one is just a sugestion
the 1st is a request please

Pretty sure he wants to stop the ringtone manually. As opposed to letting it play a full song of 3mins.
Dude, use the MP3 trimmer and trim an MP3 down and set that as your SMS tone. Thus no more verses and choruses, only a portion of the song.
To stop the sms ringtone, you can press the call end button, but it switch you to the home page if your doing anything on the phone.
Yes Dickenz
Thats what i want but i used the trimmer but i always use the main chorus of a song
and thats to long eveytime i get a txt
So i can just press the end button?
I have not seen it in the forums...
How can I only answer a phonecall by sliding and not pressing the green call button on the farmost left?
My phonecalls keep getting answered whilst in my pocket!!

Try TouchLockPro and S2U2 and see which one your prefer. Also Vangrieg incall control.
S2U2 is the best option for this, it's free and has an option to deactivate all hard buttons with a slide to answer and full screen caller ID. As mentioned above you can also try TouchLockPro but, despite being smaller, I find S2U2's option list and features to be superior. Pocketshield is another option but that's commercial, I bought it a few months back and used it for a bit but eventually went back to S2U2.
Adding another vote to S2U2 (pick up from ac-s2.com).
GeSte - this also gives you the ability to lock phone on answer depending on profile (sort of) which will save those embarrassing `conference international friend into the middle of a work call` experiences that plagued me a couple of times before discovering the application.
When I get a call come through if i cant answer it, how do i put the caller through to voicemail?
I know i used to be able to do this on my old phone by pressing the call end button.
This does not seem to work on the HD2...very annoying
Any ideas guys?
doesn't it give you the option on the screen?
swipe left to answer, swipe right to reject
volume toggle
Try the user manual, all kinds of basic stuff,& tech stuff too,.. On mine the volume button can reject,& be set to send text saying your busy,& will call back...
lol it shows on the screen when someone is calling.
the slider is in the middle.
left side is green 'answer'
right side is red 'reject'
you slide to whichever side you want to do.
Ah, i worked out what it was....
I had that slide to lock thing on my phone (SU2 i think)
What it was doing was not giving me the option to slide the bar the other way to reject a call.
I have removed it fom my phone and im now able to reject a call or send a text now.
thanks for the help guys
Does not the red hardware button do the same (the one used to turn phone off) ?

you don't really need to uninstall S2U2 for that... I was confused by it at first, as well, but then all you need to do is to disable everything under Settings\Phone (Actually, you get to disable "show caller id" and then everything else is immediately greyed out)

Hey guys, I'm running a Sense build (Phiremod's Ace build) and having a problem with the HTC dialer's answer/reject call slider. (note that this is a problem with any of the Sense builds - not picking on Phiremod's.)
I pocket carry my HD2 and since the Sense answer/reject is an up and down slider, i always wind up answering or hanging up the phone when I pull it out of my pocket.
Does anyone have any ideas to change the incoming call behavior? I know I can remove the HTC lock screen, but the answer/reject slider is apparently part of the dialer (which I love otherwise). I used S2U2 on WinMo, and have been digging around for an Android alternative. Is there any way to get the stock Android answer/reject slider (left to right) on Sense without losing the HTC dialer?
Thanks,
Ryan
+1. Have the same problem
+1, the sense lockscreen makes no sense. Unlocking in pocket, answering can be done just by looking at it from wrong angle...HTC must come up with something quick. Can't even call that a lockscreen

happened a lot of time to me... I'm happy to know that I'm not alone...
Im not sure why HTC made the slide up and down like that it really doesn't make any sense. On the WimMo sense it slides side to side.
Count me in Big relief to see others with the same "challange". In my case it often answers call without me knowing it when its in my pocket.

This is the only reason I avoid Sense. Phone upside down with the screen facing my leg is the only position that works (ie makes it easy to check the screen by pulling it out of my pocket). Unfortunately, that also declines every call I try to answer.
+1 !!! anyone?!?!
solution found!
OK i hope you guys see this - i found a solution -
just install this .apk, it presents a screen with two simple buttons (answer\decline) instead of having to slide. works like a charm no more leg\but answering declining calls
I had this problem also. Just go to system/app and you'll see htclockscreen.apk and htclockscreen.odex. You can rename or delete them but I just moved them to a folder within system/app so they're not loaded. Once done, reboot and you'll get the stock lock screen.
hey tnx mr_dilly, i actually know that, but even after going back to the stock froyo lockscreen, when getting a call you still get the htc answer\decline slide screen which is, as mentioned, crap..

Sorry, omricn. Overlooked that bit. I thought the slide to answer went away because I got the answer/reject buttons but apparently it changes once the phone is actually locked.
I use a android build without sense. Is there any app to unlock power button?
I often get a call while my phone is in my pocket and then accidently press my power button, so the call will be rejected.

are you sure the power button is the issue? how does your incoming call screen look like? it could be the same issue that i had, the slider responded to the insides of my pocket, i dont believe the power button is being pressed unless you're wearing very very tight pants
I don´t have a sense build.
I get no slider, only the answering buttons on my screen. But hardware buttons are working too. When i put my phone from my pocket i often touch my hardware power button and then the incoming call is ended.
I use proximity screenoff, so screen is blank and i can´t touch any button on my display. If i press power button, the incoming call is rejected.
I want to have a slider on my display and hardware buttons should be locked complete. Only answering a call with something on my display, but not with hardware button.
understood.. i'll be sure to let you know if i find a solution
Hi All!
The biggest problem with Sense in my opinion is the slide for unlock/answer screen. The engineer that came up with that design should get a serious *****-slap. Replacing the lock screen is fairly simple though, e.g by WidgetLocker. Replacing the slide (up/down) to answer is not that simple because it's part of the dialer, not the lock screen.
So if you like HTC sense and the sense dialer, I think you have to stick with the slide up/down for answer. I'm sure that some clever dev eventually will iron out the problem, but currently I see no solution.
Agree with every word..
