Might just be me being silly, but does anyone else happen to press the "Emergency call" button on the lock screen by mistake? I seem to do it quite often.
Obviously nothing major, but does anyone know how to disable it, or change it from a press action into a swipe option?
Thanks.

If you are rooted + xposed framework + wanam xposed = you have an option to disable it.

Anyone know how to disable the hardware buttons for the incoming call screen?
I only want to answer/reject calls with the slider, not the hardware buttons as I sometimes touch them by accident while getting the phone out of my pocket.
I've tried PocketShield but didn't like it, although it was able to disable the hardware buttons. Any other suggestions?
Have you already tried s2u2? The slider can receive/reject incoming calls and you also have options to disable the hardware buttons. Works great on my elf.
I tried it some days ago, couldn't get it to work the way I wanted it to, mainly because I don't want to use the locking part. I always lock my device with the power button and I only wanted to have the ability to disable the hardware buttons for incoming calls.
After your message, I decided to install it again and give it another try. Changed some of the settings and I think I finally managed to get it working the way I want to!
It's a bit of a memory consuming app for just disabling the hardware buttons for incoming calls, but hey, it works
Thanks!
If anyone finds a solution without using S2U2, please let me know!
Ok, I have uninstalled S2U2 again. Even though it did do the job, it was also a memory consuming application just for disabling the answer/reject keys during incoming calls and I want to keep my device as clean as possible.
I have searched for hours trying to find a solution to this what I think is a very common problem. How many of you have accidentally accepted or rejected calls because of the hardware buttons? In my opinion, HTC should have thought about this and provide a solution for it.
Anyone with a better solution than S2U2?
Thanks for your input!
New version 1.40 of S2U2 uses MUCH less battery. I almost don't notice, it's running. Great program at least for me.
Since your previous post S2U2 1.4 has been released. This is supposed to address the issues you mention.
can you tell me how you have set your settings for just disabling the hardware buttons for incoming calls in s2u2 ? Thanks
I've used AE Button Plus to disable the 'Answer Call' an 'End Call' hardware keys as I had the same annoying problem of accidentally rejecting a call when taking the device out of my pocket. This works well for me and have now enabled the keys to turn wifi and bluetooth off and on with 3 taps.
Thanks everyone!
I wasn't aware of the latest S2U2 version and I almost gave it another try until I read Anfloyd's post.
I did look at AE Button Plus before, but didn't think it was capable of doing what I wanted: disable the hardware buttons during incoming calls, but still have them functional when there isn't an incoming call (such as showing the phone dial screen which it does by default).
When I looked at the AE Button Plus website, I noticed I couldn't configure the buttons based on the current active screen/program. So, even though I knew I could disable the hardware buttons, I thought I would then loose the whole functionality of them..and that would make the answer and reject buttons on my device useless.
BUT, after reading your message Anfloyd, it got me thinking..I don't need to configure it based on the current screen/program. I can just disable the buttons for 1 tap..and assign programs for them for 3 taps for example.
So, now I have this:
- 1 tap: do nothing. This way, both the answer and reject buttons are not working during incoming calls and I can only use the slider to accept/reject calls.
- 3 taps for answer button: start the phone application.
- 3 taps for reject button: nothing yet, but I'll find something
This is a solution I can work with! I have only tested it for a short time, so if it turns out that AE Button Plus is causing problems I'll give the latest S2U2 another try, but so far this seems to be working just fine.
Thanks again for your input!
ChrisVDD, those options can be found in the S2U2 settings. I don't have S2U2 installed anymore so I don't remember the exact settings. I just disabled all locking features that I didn't need, selected to disable the hardware buttons and chose to use the slider. Give it a try, you should be able to sort it out. If you can't, let me know and I'll install S2U2 again to see what settings you need.

First, select and hold "Green Phone button".
Then do this from top to bottom:
3. Handle by AEBPlus
1. Single press
1. None
..and select Ok
Then select and hold "Green Phone button" again.
Do this from top to bottom:
3. Handle by AEBPlus
3. Triple press
13. Press Green Button
..and select Ok
Then File > Save and Exit
That's it

Thank you for your fast reply, now It works like I wanted it to do.
Is it possible to end call using red hardware button but not to ignore it before answering? I tried AEBplus and it works like it should but that's not all I needed.

The problem I have with s2u2 is that I cannot mute incoming calls... The voulme buttons are locked... the touch screen is locked and mute on face down also does not work....
Maybe A_C will allow us which buttons to lock in the next release...
I'm having a couple of issues, just curious if anyone else is experiencing the same.
First, according to the manual, you can activate speaker phone by placing the phone face down. I tried this, and couldn't get it to work. The only thing that got the speakerphone working was pressing the 'speaker' button while in a call. Anyone else get speakerphone to activate by placing the phone face down? Is there a setting to make it do this?
Second, there a section in the manual about making conference calls. It mentions a 'conference mode' that is accessed by going to the phone screen, pressing menu, and selecting the 'conference mode' option. There is no 'conference mode' option in my phone menu. Anyone else see it?
You sure you have the right manual ?
These are typical options for Touch Pro2.

It's on page 59 of the HD2 manual.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the speakerphone is working fine for me.
you can also long press the talk button to get speakerphone working
I already remapped the long press of the talk button to force landscape, so I don't think I can get speakerphone while in a call using the talk button. I know I can press the 'speaker' icon on screen, just curious if anyone was getting the speakerphone to activate by putting the phone face down. Also, anyone else seeing the 'conference' functionality in the menu from the phone screen?

Did u try make a G-sensor calibration first?

Okay, I calibrated the g-sensor and it worked! Thanks for the tip.
Anyone see the 'conference mode' in the menu of the phone screen, as mentioned in the manual, or perhaps this feature does not exist, and was an accidental carryover from the Touch Pro 2 manual?
How can you remap the button ?

In order to remap the button, you just need to create a shortcut to the program you want to execute (in my case, I downloaded a program that rotates the screen 90 degrees - i.e. landscape), put that shortcut in the Windows directory, and rename it Long_Send.lnk. Then the long press of the talk key is remapped (in this case to put the phone in landscape mode).

Alright - bonehead move on my part.
If you go to the phone dialing screen, press menu, and then scroll down the menu, the last option is 'conference mode'.
Occasionally, when I press the home button to go back to my home page it will take me back and the icon selector will be on one of my icons (always the same one) and I have to click some where else on the screen to get it unselected. It's rather annoying and I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue or if anyone knows of a fix.
Thanks

Maybe you are activating the optical trackpad when you hitting the home button?

That was my initial thought but, unfortunately, thats not it.
Does anyone know a way to disable the home button long-press shortcut to google now? That way the home button responds a lot quicker
anyone?

You can either use a custom rom that has the function to remap hardware keys built in or use an xposed module. I believe Wanam has it built in.
