Does anyone else have this problem? You know, when you are on a call and your ear seems to independently either dial the last number you called or, in my case, open the clock screen?
Does anyone have a solution? I was hoping there was tweak or something so that when you started a call the touch screen was locked unless you pressed a hardware button or a button on the screen.
Any folks know of this or willing to take a stab at writing such a thing.

What you could do, it's what I did, I installed Phonealarm which has a function to "blank screen" as soon as you're connected. I had the same problem as you did. This solved my problem, I skinned it "media phone" so it even looks good.
Hi,
just press the Power button while in a call, this will lock the screen.

correct, works, but I tend to forget that one.

This one's got me stumped, I may just be overlooking a simple answer but it hasn't happened previously on my Magician or Vario before.
I carry my Vario III around in a large coat pocket for most of the time. I have a lot of appointments and calls which activate the screen when they occur. I then have the problem when fishing around for the device that a) I answer the call from touching the screen, b) End the call from touching the screen, c) Open a load of different apps where the appointments have made the screen go live and the movement in the pocket has brushed the screen.
All I want to do is use only the hardware buttons ie. Answer, End, Power button. Where can I find the settings for this? The "key settings" menu or "buttons" doesn't cover it so where is it? It's driving me mad!
Hold down the 'red' phone button to lock all but 'Power' and 'Unlock' soft key.
You can still answer a call as normal when it comes in with the with the 'green' phone key.
Thanks. I know about the standard lock, but then you're into multi key press territory to unlock it. I just wondered if someone knew of a way (or program) that once the screen was off it stayed off until the answer, reject or power button was pressed and then in the case of the power button the device returns to "normal".
I'm not sure if your idea would be very viable. The screen has to come on so that you can see who's calling!
Pretty pointless to reject a call when you don't know who it is.
I understand what you are trying to get at but wouidn't you still have the problem of not being able to use any other functions within a call like looking up a Contact or checking your Calendar. Hitting the Power button during a call to get back to normal use would be a bit 'hit n miss'.
Thanks for the reply. I agree it's not ideal and I guess if it was something everyone wanted someone would have brought a .CAB out for it. That my Q answered in any case. Thanks again.
Try searching the forum for 'S2U2'. It might be what you're looking for.
That should cover it just fine. Thanks for the pointer.
Nice one helterskelter
Didn't think he would want to open it to answer a call thats all as he seems to have big fingers and hit everything but 'Answer'
No, sorry, just my dark humour...
Hope you are sorted.
Hey, I'm having some technical problems with my TyTN/Kaiser. Most times I'm in a voice call I will have the phone against my cheek like all people do, but the problem is that when I move around slighty or whatever the end button is being pressed on the touch screen by my cheek.
This is so annoying and I've read through the manual and couldn't find anything to disable touch screen in a call, so now I come to you folk
Is there any way to lock touch screen only (not buttons) in a call?
A_Cs S2U2 has some of this functionality.
My Tilt allows me to do a quick-press of the power button while on a call. That turns off my screen, but still allows me to end a call with the "hard" end button.
you could use advance config/kaiser tweak to enable fast sleep when in call that turns the screen off while still keeping it unlocked so the buttons work after a few seconds..... otherwise press the power button quickly as soon as you have made the call/answered the phone

Cool, this sounds alright, but when you say turns the screen off but keeps it unlocked, does that mean the end button is still pressable on the screen?
I can't believe nobody has this problem.. happens to me almost every call.

When the screen goes off, either by time-out or quick press of the power button, the screen "buttons" are not enabled.
You can end the call with the red end button. Or, if you prefer... another quick press of the power button to "wake up" the screen, and you can use the soft buttons again.

No, I had it happen frequently in my first few weeks of ownership, but it's not happening of late. I don't know what I'm doing different, but it was a real pain.
The dial button won't work on my phone suddently for some reason. If someone calls... it will allow me to hit it and it'll answer but if I just pick up my phone and hit the dial button (to dial someone) nothing will happen. It'll just show my today screen as if it's disabled for something. I can go the long way around and hit "phone" in my menu or hit the dial button when I happen to be in a program but it refuses to work just by pressing it?
Any ideas?
This is an double post.
One in the right section ''Harrald'' and a few hours later in this section ''Wings''
Please don't post anything about the T-mobile wing in the section of the HTC Wings!!!
This happens to often and is really annoying.

Try power cycling your phone, happened on my s730 once and that fixed it. Not sure what caused the button to fail out, probably was trying to run to my on my phone at the time. Either way try that and see what happens. If that doesnt work what software changes have you recently made if any?

Its not really annoying, and it doesnt really hurt you. You can nicely point them in the right forum's direction or maybe try to help them out. No need to chew people out for an honest mistake, I am sure you have made a few. I know I have.
Have you tried hard resetting the phone? Maybe it will work or maybe not.
hey guys sometime when i get and incoming call my phone start acting up and i cant slide up to take the call, my screen wont respond and no hard keys to press if some one know how to fix this please let me know if not im giving this wp7 a 2nd software update a chace to get this right. ms should be a genieus when it comes to software not apple or google. you never know when a emergency call comes in and you could not get it, im so concern about this. i had enough with 6.5 now this. but the problem is that i love ms i keep coming back. ****tttt
if a soft reset doesn't fix it you could hard reset. Just make sure you make a list of installed apps to make sure you get them all back on there.
I hadn't heard of this happening before.
I had the same problem once. I just switched the display off and on again (while the phone was still ringing) and then I could take the call.

+1 this happens from time to time.
hit the POWER button to shut of screen, this just powers of the sound and display and does not efect the incoming call.
Press the POWER button to turn the screen back on where you still see the incoming call and the screen will now respond correctly allowing you to answer.
no need to rest or anything.

Is there any remedy to this issue???, i'm having the same thing
I'm using Zeus 6.11. This is perhaps a "feature not a bug" but I'd appreciate an explanation from those who know!
During a call, the screen detects when it is near something (a face!) and switches off. Great - but when I need to input numbers during a call, it keeps switching the screen off when I move my hand near it.
Is there a way to disable this so that I can input numbers during a call?
Thanks, and sorry for the stupid question if it is one (it probably is).
just try not to block the distance sensor which is next to the front camera(including ur hands and fingers)...the screen will light up automatically..

Just make sure you don't have the "Settings->Accessibility->Power button ends call" checked
It took a day to figure out why pressing the power button ended the calls, i forgot about this option and there was nothing related to it in the Calls section.

to be honest I've never saw that option... but [I've just checked it out ] it's true... but since is disable by default I think it should represent no problem
