Any way to lock screen phone buttons?

Is there a way to lock onscreen phone buttons?
Everytime someone calls, and diamond is in my pocket I either accept or reject call when trying to get it out of pocket.
So can I dectivate touch screen during incoming call?
Is there any tweak for this?
Greets guys

dont own a diamond but a quickfix...get bigger jeans.

No way... too big balls will bounce

resolved!!!
the fastest way to solve your problem is to install s2u2 (slide to unlock) newest version is 1.05 what i know...
so with the right settings when incoming call, you'll need to slide then answer/reject call or setup slide to answer or other.
its great i LOVE IT..

I just installed it... then uninstalled it 5 mins later because it looks GHASTLY!!
To lock the touch screen buttons you simply hold down the End Call button for a few seconds. Or is it the physical buttons that you're trying to lock?

You didn't get it
I want touch screen buttons to be locked DURING incoming call to be sure i wont press them when trying to put it out of pocket.
Even if diamond is locked, when phonecall screen appears, those buttons are ACTIVE and that is baaaaad
and S2U2.... doesn't work!!!
When incoming call, original diamond call screen appears and buttons are ACTIVE - su2u DOES NOT lock device during the call although there's option called 'slide to answer'

You are right: I do not get you.
At least I do not see your point. You want to have the phone locked during incoming calls? - how senseless is that. Especially in that moment I want to have it unlocked to be able to accept it. That is the way all my phones worked.
What do you do, if you get a call and have a your cell in the pocket? I never encountered such problems...

Jeeeeeeeezzzzzzzz !!!
In Diamond one can answer a call in two ways:
1. press onscreen button
2. press hardware button
Onscreen button can be pressed accidentaly while taking out of pocket, pouch or whatever.
So: All i want is to have onscreen buttons INACTIVE while hardware buttons ACTIVE so I can answer call ONLY by pressing answer HARDWARE button.
Tapping onscreen button will do NO ACTION.
Hope now everything is clear, cause my english isn't very good

^^and you made a joke when i offered my quick fix =P

I have the same problem that by the time I get the case out of the case i find that I accidently answered or hung up because I accidentaly touched the screen,I tried slide to answer but it is not working properly on the Diamond

This would be helpful, I have the same problem sometimes.
I'll look for a registry setting.

s2u2 not working?????
if its bad, ugly, or something, put an self image as backgruond, maybee that would cheer u up, im using version 1.00 that dosent got the slide to answer working good(beta), so i turned it of, then it worked great and i can still use hardware buttuns to answer, and if u dont like the apperence just remove background an d remove clock, all thats left is a black screen and the slider...

This thing with enabled screen answer/ignore buttons pisses me off too... May be we can install a new dialler without screen buttons?

Really no one cares?

i don't think it's about anyone caring. i think it's about the diamond being a new device and no one having the tricks/tips/tweaks yet. patience

I understand that. But if nobody care about an issue no one will look for the solution. I would install another dialer but i do not know how to uninstall the existing one.

Be great if you (or anyone else?) could find a hack for this - I have the same problem when taking the phone out of the case. It would solve my (our) problem if only the hardware buttons could answer/reject an incoming call.
Regards,
Gary.

Since nobody answered this thread anymore... Did someone find out? Or did you give up?

I need this badly, stupid on screen buttons always go off

I had the same problem but after i did this I had no problem anymore.
The answer button in default phone skin(WM6) is much smaller so the risk of accidentally reject or answer the call is not so high.

[sticky!!!!] The "answer Only With Hw Buttons" option or similar solution...

...a lot to read... and a lot of solutions!
thank you guys!

Just an Idea... maybe its possible to set the Touchscreen sensitivity to VERY low everytime there is incoming Phone call. And then you cant accidentially press one of the onscreen buttons. However, i think registry entries only change after a softreset. MAybe there is some workaround?

this solution will affect the entire normal use of the diamond. :-(
anyone knows a cook?
it can't be so difficult.

I'm willing to pay the money saved in missed calls in one week. It could be a lot, for sure...

Agreed! it would be a great feature to have

Well actually i meant it a different way. Imagine.. There is an incoming Call... This call is recognized, and the touch sensitivity is set to very low. After the call is done, or the call is taken, the sensitivity is restored..

yep... but i suggest this like a second try....
the easiest way is to create a new phone skin.
the best is a "only hw buttons" option
i can't believe to the drink beer app... useless but true... and nothing about this bug... it's incredible.

I would be satisfied to have ALL the hardware keys to be locked during incoming calls and the screen locked and need to unlock the screen with ie a slide before be able to answer... As the hardware buttons also is easy to press when it's in the pocket when your sitting etc.

diamondino said:
I think we're half a million to damn this bug.
WE ALL NEED to lock the screen buttons.
WE ARE BORED of losing calls or answer accidentally taking out the diamond from our pockets.
WE NEED A SOLUTION.
WE DON'T WANT S2U2 AS A WORKAROUND.
HELP US.
AND YOU'LL BE REWARDED.
['cos right now... we still spending money on calls we miss. s##t.]

I don't get it. My on/off button is set to lock all other buttons when the device is off, apparently meaning the display. At calls the display is off after a few seconds and I have two choices to bring it back - push the on/off or remove the stylo causing notes to launch. Hence the only insident where I can see a problem is when the display is trickered to go on (alarm or incoming call) and it's way down the bag you may push something. Here I suspect the solution is to have it in a pouch. Anyway, I have seen many yields about this so i'll surely be victimised one day as well.

Its a really challenging app to make.
Think about it. How can u lock the keys yet mantain the ability to answer anytime with one button.
Tough call

maybe using the light sensor ... in the pouch screen off- out the pouch screen on

No, touching the screen will not bring the screen ON, the only thing that will bring the screen ON is pressing a hard key.
It's an excellent idea to make the light sensor feel if it's in the dark, and if so shut down the screen, the only problem is that nobody knows how to reliably do this for all ROMs (even official).

Take a look here guys... already lots of posts on this

1 a new phone skin without any buttons is the easiest solution i guess
2 changing the sensibility pressure works only on soft reset
3 light sensor... nice, but i don't think it's the best way to do this
isn't a predefined "lock screen" function on the diamond?
i'm a developer but i dunno nothing about pda application... i think it's weird if no one thought to a simple "block screen" function.

i don't think many people are using the pouch now there is more choice

several problems with diamond

hi all,
i do have several problems with my diamond, first of all i am using an offical rom by htc its 2.03.xxx and the manila of the hd
to come to my problems i am giving u a list of problems which i were not able to solve:
1. nearly each day my diamond dials into the internet to check for email, but i didnt
2.sometimes it happens that when i am getting my diamond out of the pocket he asks me whether i am sure to turn the diamond off or not, but i didnt push the off button, especially not that long
3.the touchfield below the display is just usable with my fingers, not with the stylus or something like this, but earlier it did work with finger and stylus
4.very often it happens that when i am called that my diamond just take off the telephone call(which is nearly impossible becuase i do have the slider and to press the field down it needs very much which isnt existing in my pocket)
5. when i am controlling my volummne i have often problems that the systemloudness is very loud but the ringtone loudness stays on silent or turns on silent
i do not prefer to have a hardreset as a solution because than i would have to made all the vocabulary again

Check the config of the mail app. Maybe you've got the 'check for new mail every X minutes' enabled.

There's an option that automatically takes the call after a few seconds or rings. Check the phone setup.

When you press the up/down volume, you're modifying the system volume. On top-left of the screen you'll see an arrow. Click it and you could access to the ringtone volume.
Hope it helps.

Erm... Device Lock?? Can anybody help on this

I Have gone straight from the Orbit2 to the Diamond2 however I seem to have a small problem with the device lock that i used to have on the front screen as it only works if i disable the touchflo3d homepage that i kind of like.
Anyone have any ideas/suggestions/3rd party screen locks that are practical?
PS. had the phone 2 days and not really had time to read manual thoroughly etc so if there is a really simple response to this then I apologize

try holding the end call button for a few seconds

Thanks. Am guessing that was in the manual but must have missed it in skim reading it.

not sure mate i don't read the manuals either i just asked the same question on the TD1 haha

I was also very disappointed by missing LOCK option - thanks, maybe next time, i could at least download that manual from HTC

TouchLockPro works on the Diamond2, it unlocks by light sensor and taking stylus out.

you can set long press of the end call button to lock screen "settings/personal/buttons/end key tab.

Anyway to set the TD2 to switch on by pressing any of the 4 bottons? Now mine is only able to be switched on by pressing the on/off button.

This lock the device automatical everytime when the backlight goes off.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight
AutoDeviceLockEnable from 0 to 1
After change no softreset is needed.

No way to activate the screen with the call/start/arrow/end call button?

you can use smart lock, it is free and very good.

How does one change the lock time?
I've set it but can't now access the time setting - I've read the manual and still no clue.

X1 Call menu alternative

Hello!
I'm having some problem with my X1 phone. When every some1 calls me my phone seems to answer or hangs up the call by itself when its in my pocket. Im guessing the screen is very sensitive. Is there any alternative call menu or some way for the keylock to stay on even when some1 calls?
Thanks

hey
as I'm not sure what rom you are on some feedback/options from mine
under start - settings - personal - phone - advanced (tab) there is a flag "Reject call with text message: <customizable message body>"
check if you find that and whether it is enabled
don't know whether there are additional options anywhere else
alternatively you can install/use apps, like Smart Lock (under settings - system when cooked in) to configure your lock screen behaviour, e.g. for incall|outcall|outcall connect
hope that helps some, will check for your feedback
best

I would start with making sure the X1 is 'face-up' when in your pocket. Meaning the phone's face is not touching your leg.
Similar to what DK said above, what ROM are you using? Even more specific, what phone dialer are you using? I know on occasion I have had problems with the HTC dialer on certain ROMs.
