Only hard key for answering call? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello, is there a way to answer the call by only pressing the hard key, not the touchscreen?
I quit several calls by touching the screen while taking the phone out of my pocket.

This is your first phone with a touchscreen, right?

same problem here
no solution ?

If the phone is locked then any presses on the touchscreen should not work, only the hard key that answers the phone.

When you receive a call the phone is unlocked.

Search for S2U2 which has a slider to answer calls.

Device lock/unlock shortcut

I've done a search and cannot find the information.
Basically i've removed the trayicons on the bottom of my wing. I am using battery status, but sometimes it does not lock the device automatically. Until i lock it manually first.
So i am trying to find the shortcut or link to device lock/unlock.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Well.... if you are using the Wing then, keep holding the end call button. That will lock the device. Unlock will be same as before.
Hope that helps.

Don't know... on the Wing you can't hold one of the buttons down to put the phone on vibration mode, either. One phone has one feature, the other one doesn't.

HAHA, sometimes it's a good thing to loose your temper, then. lol
This doesn't work on my Wing. It's probably because I'm using TouchIT which isn't based from the TMO rom.

talk button not working

what would make it not work. this happen to me on to different roms. the lights light up thats it. thank you.

You need to provide more details as to which roms you have tried...
I don't recall any of the roms posted here have issues with the talk button.
yours v3.0 biggy and aserg's
The Talk button...which is on the touchscreen... is not working?
or
the Send button.. the physical button on the phone..is not auto-redialing?
sorry the physical button. when im at the today screen and i press the talk button nothing happens, wing just lights up. if the phone screen is up and i press the button it will work. i like being able to get to the phone screen by just pressing the talk button
Broken phone? Try a reflash to OEM and see if the problem persists.
it's not broken...
it's the dialer that ur using.
can u give me more detail?? thank you

I such hear the first time. There should not be such problems. Search for the program which to you spoils
If the actual hardware GREEN KEY is the one that doesn't work ... and it doesn't work under various ROMs ... it sounds like most likely its the actual button that's broken and not a software issue.
maybe you should try to have your phone replaced under warranty?

Okay,
So your saying that this did not happen when you were using the original rom.
Then try and reflash back to the original tmobile rom.
Please report back your findings.
he's saying the problem is he pushes the "Send" key.. and it does not automatically dial the phone number.
but.. if the virtual phone or dialer screen is open, then pushing the send key does initiate the call.
if it was the sensor under the key... then it would not light up.
i'm assuming it's because of the dialer.. maybe needs a registry tweak to fix it how he likes.
it doesn't work if you push the send key twice?
also... if you hold it for too long, the dialer will not initiate...so try only pushing it and not holding it down.. :-/

lol alright
pressing the power button on the side?
Surely it's not a good idea to wake your kaiser up by touching the screen? As soon as you put it in your pocket it'll wake up again? That's why companies make it slightly more complex to unlock the phone...

Waking up the Diamond

Not sure if this has been reported. But you don't have to press the power button to wake up the Diamond. All you have to do is pull out the stylus....
cool, thankyou for the Tip. I ddn´t realize that, thu I rarely use the stylus anymore because of TF3D.
what if the stylus is lost ?

use the 2nd stylus that comes with the package or use the power button to switch it on
what i mean is will the device be always on when there is no stylus in it ?

I think the "extracting" movement is like a power on, so if you extract, you can power off without the stylus in... act like a key pressed without key-lock , right?
wish there was a 3rd alternative to waking it up.
I use the stylus only occasionally and i use a flip case so the power button on top is not that accessible
Cool! I didn't realize that.

It opens Cyberon Voice Speed Dial but... i can live with that!

how to end a call

May be stupid question but...
When somebody calls... how do you people end the call?
When I click the right lower button the diamond tries to make a new call to the person I just recieved a call from.
Now I simply do noting...
I hit the part of the screen with a red rectangle that says "End Call".
Just push the "end" (phone down) button.
TDO
My screen is completly black... even after tweaking (which didn't seem to work)

So hit the unlock button, turn your screen on and hit end call on the screen. That's what I do every time.
As TDO mentioned, is pressing the bottom-right hardware button not an easy enough way?
Or is that the button that you are pressing, and it's calling the person back? How peculiar...

That's right....
I did the suggested tweaks but my screen keeps turning of when somebody calls.... very annoying
When I get a call and it finally end, I simply do nothing... but I don't think this is a correct way... but I don't see any other convenient one
Sorry to be dumb... if you think this is a silly question, just don't react OK!?
intersting problem.
do you have a t mobile version of the diamond, i think the buttons are in a different location on the Tmob diamond. maybe a flashed ROM will not correctly map the keys on this device.
just an idea, maybe you could provide more details on your device to help us help you.
Tried the noSleep!!.cab that's here somewhere? Then maybe the screen won't turn off when you call, and you can use the softkey.
It's obviously not working like most of ours are for one reason or another... on mine, a UK 1.37.405.1 WWE, I just hit the bottom right 'phone down' key; the screen comes on, just in time to see the call end.
If I were you, I'd flash it to one on the UK standard roms, either a 37 or 93, and you'll be sorted.

always loved scandinavia... now even more.... PROBLEM SOLVED.
Despite different tweaks (after searching the forum.... really,.. I did some searching), NoSleep!!.cab keeps the phone "on" so I can easily end the call like it should.
Does your 'end call' button work at other times? E.g. when pressed-and-held does it switch profile (or whatever you've got it set at)?
I'm just curious as to why you're seeing such strange behaviour in phone mode!
Mathew
hey man... thnaks for your interrest...
When I puch it the Diamond goes in "Sleep" mode....
What it does when calling.... now it hangs up the call just like when you click the softkey on the screen.
Initially, when puching THAT button, the phone rerang the last caller.... very strange..
Anyway... now I'm perfectly happy....
Strange indeed! Oh well, at least you're sorted which is all that matters!
