Hi Guy's
I am getting annoyed with Internet Explorer. It keeps opening when I recieve a call. As I end the call there is a pop up box asking if I want to connect. I allways say no and then close IE. Does anybody know how to stop IE doing this as it is a pain. I only want to open it when I want to go on the internet and not on almost every call.
TIA
this could be a dumb question, but are you accidentally pressing the IE button with your cheek when you make a call?
Maybe not such a dumb question, considering where the button is it is possible the when i put the phone to my ear it does touch my cheek without my noticeing it. I will experiment.
if it is the case is ther a way to dissable that button
TIA
I cannot imagine that is the case; you have to press the button pretty hard (on my device anyway); I think you would hurt your ear or at least hear the "click" if you happen to accidently pressing the device that hard to the ear.

believe it or not there have been multiple TyTN users that never noticed the top rocker button... and there have been more than a few complaints about IE and Mail starting in the middle of a conversation...
coincidence? Methinks not...
My TyT sometimes srarts up IE for no apparent reason... ummm... Holy Crap! That bar over the lights is a rocker button? Crap, I've been using this thing for over three weeks and never knew about it. Thought the drawn on icons were just to represent the lights (internet happens to be above the WiFi light). Wonder how I missed that, considering I have read the entire instruction booklet.
Hi Guy's
Well I have solved my problem with IE, as goestoeleven pointed out I could be pressing the "WnW" button by mistake. Well I had a call today which I did not put the phone to my face but used the speaker, yep it still did it.
The problem I found was not to me pressing the button on the phone but putting it into the case supplied with the phone. As you can see the buttons are slighly raised (this does not help).
Every time I put the phone into the case, because the lid has two strong magnets it slaps shut quite hard. This force causes the button to be pushed in and thereby starting IE. This tends to happen mainly if the screen is facing out.
I thought it was every time I answered a call that IE started but it was already on from the last time I put it in the holster.
To resolve this make sure the screen is facing inward so the magnets are on the back, this should reduce the impact.
But!!! I supposed if you have the phone on the holster and nock into something this cauld also trigger IE.
It would have been better if the button were recessed then it would not happen.
I hope this will solve this issue for some of you at least
P.S. This will might also answear the "Mail" starting on its own as the button is also on the same rocker although this has not happend to me...

Its a phone not a gun :lol: :lol: :lol:
This problem has happened to me a few times and ive put it down to me touching the wnw button at the top when taking the phone out of the case.
Hi all,
I keep noticing that when my phone rings....most of the time, something is answering the call
It usually happens on the process of taking the phone out of the pouch
i take it out from the sides, never touching the screen but when I have it in my hand, the call has been answered for a few seconds
anyone know how to prevent this? Never happened in any of my windows phones
Is there any chance that it is checked the auto answer option in the phone settings on tha last-right tab (after xx rings.....) ???
Got the same issue with mine; this drive me crazy as I am often saying bull**** while taking my phone out of its case... It happend only when I take it out of its case, but as it is always in its case it may not be the right explanation.
The autoanswer is def not checked
I just re-installed the firmware and left it as if it... same issue
its almost certainly linked to the case in some way that is touching the answer button on screen (i dont think its the physical button itself)
Was there ever a solutions for this?
I tried another case, with a different the magnet at the different place and the issue seems to be gone. But, sadly I get other issue; still because of the magnet I guess. Just try to avoid magnet
hhmmmm is there a way to diable the answer button when a call is coming in, until I hit power or something?
Ok i noticed when the phone is locked, any press of any key on the front activates the screen light, now when the phone is in my pocket will thid be happening all the time, or will the proximity sensor stop the light from activating?

It will activate anytime a button is pressed.
Yeah thats what i said already, but you didnt answer the question about the proximity sensor?
I think he did....
The light will activate when a button is pressed even when in your pocket.

As far as i know, the proximity sensor only works when being on the phone and not when device is using other apps or is locked....
The proximity sensor will only turn off the screen/backlight when you are in a call. It will not turn off the screen/backlight if any buttons are pressed while keylocked in your pocket.
thats just lame!
No it's actually not that lame. Proximity sensor that's always on will be draining your battery.
No so much as pressing the bloody backlight every 2 mins, will need a fix for that, crap.
I think its a nice idea. Im very sure the proximity sensor doesnt drain that much power so you can use it to manage the backlight when in pocket.
on the one hand it would be nice to use that sensor to keep the backlight off while in pocket, but I can't really say I had that problem. When I put my HD2 in the pouch it only turned on the backlight when I pressed the buttons. I can't say it happened while it was in my pocket, every time I took it out of my pocket the backlight was off.
Just cus it was off when you took it out, dont mean you were not activating it on occasions, you cant see it can you?

I don't know what you're doing pressing things in your pocket for every 2 minutes, but I suspect that if you get caught doing it in public you'll risk getting arrested.
If it's such a world-shaking problem, write a program to do it yourself, it should be pretty simple. Chop chop.

Unhelpful but amusing...
I am surprised that you are pressing the buttons all the time in your pocket. If the phone is locked (ie press the hang up key once) the screen goes off, and if I touch the screen it doesn't come back on. I have to press a button. Those need a little press to them, so surely not something your leg is doing when the phone is in your pocket. Unless you wear skin tight jeans or something...
3D witch hunt started, forget it....
Yeah, I don't know what their problem is with this question.
It is very easy for the buttons to be pressed while the phone is in your pocket, especially when it is held tightly in the leather case -- any depression along the case will press buttons that are already tightly packed inside the case. This can happen without your hands coming close to your pocket -- it can happen just from the phone shifting in your pocket while you sit up or down, or from your pocket bumping up against a wall or piece of furniture.
There also seems to be a problem with the backlight not turning off automatically until the PIN is entered. So if you accidentally press any button, such as by sitting down and shifting the phone in your pocket, the phone's backlight will stay on forever until you either press the power button or enter the PIN.
Until this issue is fixed, the HD2 is basically useless as a phone for me -- battery life is 4-5 hours max.
Just dicks i guess, obviously their opinion is a better one.
i`m currently playing and tweaking my 3 day old HD2. Shame I got one, now my Rhodium and Kaiser are oldish and forgotten =) What a wonderful device the HD2 is.
So far, I´ve managed to tweak all the things I wanted, except for one: in all other devices, I can access the system page and a "keylock" option there, so I can configure the device to wake up ony if the power button is pressed while locked. There is no keylock option in the HD2, and while in the pocket, buttons keep getting pressed and the screen is turning on. I want to reduce that to as few times as possible (since battery life seems to be a problem with the HD2).
Any ideas ? Guess they removed the keylock option simply because the HD2 does not have a power button... anyway, waking up the device with a specific key (only) would be nice.
tia
I'm looking for the same thing. Please advice!
/R
Add me
to the list that would like this option. My HD2 is always being turned onin my pocket and its seriously reducing the bettery life!!!
ok... bump. My day ended up with a dead phone. The screen turned on so many times that the cellphone got warm... more than once.
doesnt it has Automatic lock ????

... it does... and it works. Problem is not locking or remaining locked, but the fact that the screen turns on even locked.
I mean, if you lock the phone, there is only 1 way to unlock it (by sliding the unlock button on screen). But hitting *any* button (except for the volume) brings the display up. Since the buttons are elevated, it´s not that difficult to keep hitting the buttons while it is in your pocket.
The end result is that the screen remains lit, wasting battery. It would be nice if, once locked, only 1 single button would bring the screen on. That would reduce the chance of turning it on by accident.
With my Kaiser and Rhodium, both have a power button. Once the screen is locked, the only key that will bring it to life is the power button itself (that is somewhat difficult to hit by accident). But the Leo does not have a power button.
Would the leather case solve that? I know it's more impractical but if anything saves battery it would be worth it.

Unfortunately, no... In fact, the standard leather case (that came with it) is so tight that if you put the phone with the buttons first, they get pressed.

Yeah just tried, don't think it will loosen any more either. I guess you need a jacket pocket with plenty of space, a trouser/jean pocket would be fine until you sit down.
Well, didn´t find any app that would help me do this trick. In fact, a simple app that enable us to configure the key that wakes up the phone after locking, could solve the problem. Was thinking about changing to the volume down key (guess it is one of the hardest to accidentally press, like when in a pocket).
As a temporary measure, if you use the leather slip case it came with, put the phone in upside down so that the USB is pointing out the open end.
I've bought a leather executive flip case that stops accidental button pressing. But it's not everyone's cup of tea to make the phone bulkier in the pocket.
Any people can provide other solution like change the registry or make a simple software?

Bump - someone must know the answer - I hope!
Just to share my experience.
I never use the leather case. It is too tight to squeeze in. And the HD2 is not as fragile as the other models. However if you use a screen protector, then you may find that it is pretty easy to scratch and dent the screen protector, which is rather visibly annoying.
As for keylock, I think TouchLockPro is rather good. It can't stop the end button from waking up the phone. Nobody can, because it is the only method to wake up an HD2. However, you can set the phone to go back to sleep in say 5 seconds. Or you can keep it always locked when it is dark (in your bag or pocket).
I have a s7 att with all latest firmware and updates. When I'm in a call using bluetooth and I press the power button to turn the display off so I can slide it into my pocket. The display goes black then wakes again after about 3 seconds. Tried a factory reset, reboots and general troubleshooting. Even smart stay and proximity sensor. Even changed my case in case something was triggering it...
Any assistance?

The only work around I have found is to hit the home button, or leave the call app in any way, then lock the screen.
This is SUPER annoying!!!

One other thing that has helped was to turn on Keep Screen Turned Off under Settings>Display...
This bug still sucks and needs to be fixed though
I do that, i can litterly press the power button and screen will go black. Then a few seconds later its back on.
