Disable screen when on the phone?

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!

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

looks like you got a virus ....

that was my first thought, but i set up a new rom last week and i have the same problem agian with the new one rom. So that's why i'm not sure that it's a virus.

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.

switch on HD by tapping screen?

Hi guys n gyals
quick question which I've searched for but couldn't find an answer.
Its probably something stupidly easy I've overlooked:
How do I get my HD to switch on when I press on the screen? The power button is too hard to use and I have the official HTC touch HD Flip case (and also running s2u2) so not bothered about it powering on, on its own. Just want to be able to touch the screen and the device comes on.
any help much appreciated - thanks
and apologies if its been asked like a gazillion times before and I missed the answer out of blindness!

zuado,
It would be great if someone could device an idling program that turns the screen on when you shake the phone consistently for like 3 seconds or so (as opposed to using the power button).
I say 3 seconds because then it won't accidentally wake up when you're walking and stuff.
Cheers.

[Q] Accidentaly answer to phone calls (by pressing green button)

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?

I've been using "screen suite" (paid, from Market) but there are probably others

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.

If anybody knows please give a feedback
Thanks.

If i remember correct there is an option somewhere in settings which says - 'volume key wakes screen' - check if thats enabled

no it isn't that, it unlocks it self with no phone touching.
today it happened in my pocket with no reason, with now app activated, by it self totally, and i called some person by misstake
Stupid bug

Strange haven't heard of any such bug yet but it'd be worth trying re flashing the rom from ground up

For now i will wait and see.

Hi! I have another very old Android phone (still with 2.2) and I have the same problem as you. I have a pattern + an app called Hidden Lock. There is a free Lite version and a paid Pro version of the app. Either of them will do the job.
The app creates for you additional lock screen. In this lock screen you have created an invisible button in a position that you only know. When you touch a button (hardware key, touch, volume rocker) or your screen unlocks, the program starts and displays "Hidden lock" message. Then you have to literally find the place on the screen where you have put your unlocking button and press it TWICE.
After that you can go to the draw pattern (android lock screen) and unlock it. This is double security for your phone - that's what I need, personally - I can't feel calm If I don't have such locker - my hardware lock key doesn't work and sometimes for now reason my phone unlocks... This is the only app that helps me.
I hope my post was helpful. Cheers!

Mine do that too, i've solved it fliping it when i carry it in my pocket, i think the touch is very sensitive and it activates when i'm walking, it sounds weird but this is the only thing that worked for me
I Sent this sitting in the WC

I do the same thing, but i was just wondering if somone had the same problem and fix it in side the system not by additional lock security or by fliping it.
But thanks for your replay, i'll just hope someone from Dev people will find answer to that.
