Greetings all,
when i´m underway in my car, or i´m running (i listen to music with my Jaybird Bluetooth headset) everytime i receive a call and after the call has ended, the phone does not go back to the lock screen, but the screen remains unlocked.
Since in both cases i have my phone in my pocket, the touch screen reacts on the movement and the touch of my thigh through the trousers and the phone starts pocket dialing or starts apps or even begins to "answer" to emails and stuff.
I have tried to set up the second pattern lockscreen, which can be set up in settings->security, but to no avail, this second pattern lockscreen does not appear after a call has ended.
Does anyone have a hint how i might set up my phone so it locks the screen right away after a call has ended?
I´m using a sense build (sense 2.1) and could not yet find anything that could help me out here, so it´s your turn now
Many thanks in advance for your help (and yes i do know where the thanks button is )

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 guys. First post so I'll try to be brief and explain as best as I can. Here's the scenario.
Phone is in shirt pocket screen is off, phone is locked and bluetooth headset is connected. The phone rings, I answer with the headset and complete the call ok. Now, when the other person hangs up, my phone screen stays active in my pocket and ends up getting all sorts of menus activated.
Is theres a way to turn the screen off immediately upon call completion?
Yep. Me too. Ony complaint I have with the phone. Have to take the phone out of my pocket and hit the end key to turn off the screen. Never had this problem with all other HTC touch devices that I have had with countless custom ROMs. Anyone help.......Please.
Try PocketShield. It will replace your WM lock screen and will offer some more possibilities (auto lock after call ends for example)
Thank you very much
Hi,
I love my new HD2, but i've got the following problem:
The proximity sensor works doesn't work 10% of the time and because the touchscreen is so sensitive, i end up pressing random buttons with my ear or face. I've been manually locking the screen during calls which:
- is really annoying
- doesn't really solve the problem, screen lock during calls does not require slider to unlock, just a regular button and also has a hang up button on it, so it's pretty much back to the original problem.
I know that there's many custom apps out there that can circumvent this issue but i like the stock lock screen (with slider), i don't need another one.
What i need is an app that automatically locks my screen using htc's "slide to unlock" screen after i accept incoming call or after my outgoing call is connected.
If anyone can help me with this i would apreciate it.
why not try s2u2
it has ability to lock after call is connected
do u have something in way of proximity sensor? case or screen protector? i had similar problem but after making bigger hole in screen protector it works 100%
@brkix: i would like a solution that uses the stock lock screen if possible
@lake: i have nothing of the sort, but i confirmed in several forums including this one that the proximity sensor is not 100% reliable
I exactly have the same problem. in my case I want to place a call then want to put the phone in its case while training or running whatsoever and I would really appreciate of being able to lock the keys in order to avoid accidental touching.

SmartLock, offers incall and outcall lock. This may be your best option.
This CAB will lock the hardware buttons when you are in a call if that helps

Do you have hair covering your ear?
Without wearing any head wear my sensor works 100% perfect.
Per advice in the second post, I've yesterday installed s2u2. Mates, this program works really good and answers my necessities. All I had to do was to put a short cut of the application to my main screen. Then, I just lock the device by tapping the lock button during a call.
There's even an option existing to lock the phone automatically when the backlight is off and/or during a call directly.

Oh well! Please, tell me how you do it!
I'd pleased if at least I could manually deactivate the screen in order to avoid touching button with my cheek!
I've been trying to find an option to lock screen during a call without succeed.
Thanks,
Cheers!
I have the same problem. This part fails.
Sorry, but I insist... wingm4n: how do you lock the screen during calls?
I still haven't been able to find such option
Cheers,
Up....
Hit start then lock(at bottom left side of screen) after dialing or answering a call.
i have same issue...not with keylocks but with the screen!!!almost every time i make or receive a call with my phone in my pocket or by ear hd2 make itself an other call or push lots of function..and this is very annoying!!!i don't like s2u2...really doesn't any solution exist for solve this problem???
thank you!
Cheers!!
Smartlock
Take a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032
It locks the screen during calls, and has some other settings as well. I've been using it for a while and it seems to work just fine. And best of all, its free.
in s2u2 settings, just set: "lock on talk" and deselect "lock device". in this way...lock screen will work only in a call. that's it
I used to have such problem during my first uses with the HD2, I would realize because all of a sudden I heard keypad tones (and so did the other person ) while hitting the dialer with my cheek.
After that, I started noticing IF the proximity sensor triggered or not.
It's not really "idle", it's just very "picky", you actually need your ear to cover it, and not just your head being in its way... I took te habit of checking the phone display with the back of my eye to see if it's on while I answer a call, and if it is all I need to do is to move it on my ear so I touch the area with the proximity sensor the display turns off again. Works for me practically 100% of the times now.
How to turn this off
I have a HD2 running the energy rom and when a call is connected it locks the screen. But I use google voice and need to be able to enter my pin. Anyone know how to get the screen not to lock during a call.
I've been using my HD2 since its release, so i can tell you i've gotten used to all sorts of habits in order to prevent accidental "touches" with either my cheek or my pocket when using a BT headset.
Yet, i still get them. Very often i manually lock the phone during calls, but not always.
I've tried smartlock to lock the phone automatically during calls. It works to some extent, but not always. The phone unlocks twice during call from BT headset, when dialing and when connected. Smartlock will very often fail to lock the phone the second time, locking incoming calls doesn't always work either (i'm guessing it's conflicting with the proximity sensor). Plus since the lock screen during calls is different, a slight rub in the middle of the screen will unlock it (no need to slide anything).
This issue was so bad that i found a way to override the in-call lockscreen with the regular slide-to-unlock lockscreen.
Anyway, after all these months i realized that the only times i completly trust my phone during calls is when i'm holding it in my hand or it's laying on the table while i talk.
I'm posting this to check if any of you found better solutions to this problem than what i mentioned.
Cheers
depending on the rom you are on, try using two fingers to tap the caller id pic, it locks the screen on later roms, then hard key to unlock.(but not end key, cos that still hangs up)

Try PocketShield
http://www.pocketshield.net/
I was wondering if there is a way to disable phone's screen when voice dialing number or when answering phone call.
I've an BT headset on my motorcycle helmet, the phone is in my pocket while riding ; the problem is that the screen is activated with every incoming/outgoing phone call and the screen is inadvertently pressed executing silly actions.
I'm looking for a solution without having to install a permanent screen lock as in all day life, having to switch on the screen and then having to unlock it every time I want to use my phone is boring.
So has anybody a solution ‘cause I’ve written a beautiful note during my last hand ree call.
Hi,
In S2U2 app there is option in power settings where phone locks up at talking when using BT.
I guess that it works for you.

Just read TICST User Guide, I seems to exactly match with my needs with its 'switch off for BT' feature.
I'll give try it shortly.
Thanks
