Hi,
I ask for your help / opinion to the following, I usually go with the PDA in the pocket and when I get a call by answering unintentionally, because those buttons appears on the screen.
My question is whether there is any way to define that only you can take the buttons physical?

no sloutions yet, but working on it!
Well, imo there are 2 solutions at the moment. Might not be what you hade in mind but they do the trick.
See: ThrottleLock 0.3c (Pattern Based Lock - Android like skined)
And: SensorLock
This does not do just what you asked for, but they do prevent that you answer a call unknowingly.

Good Afternoon
I had a new TyTN II Delivered from orange after mine was nabbed at the weekend, and i locked it remotely. When i make a call now all is hunky dory, but whilst in that call if i go to press START for example nothing will happen, so again i try another way and press X to go to the today screen to then press start, Nothing happens.
I inform my caller ill call them back, and end the call by either pressing "End Call" or pressing the Red Button, and then instantly the Back light defaults to a very low setting, and it did NOT do this on my previous TyTN II.
I have spent a fair while looking through here and google (and also MoDaCo Forums) trying to find a solution. I only know of one other person on MoDaCo who has the problem, and i have tried hard reset on the device too to no avail.
It is a Orange HTC TyTN II, so i have called them also for advice and they know about as much about it as i do.
This is a plea for someone here maybe to lend me a hand and sort this out, otherwise its going to collide with the nearest large surface in the next few days ha ha.
Thanks again for reading, and I hope someone can help me!

screen off
I select don't blank/turn screen off in a call, as I often want to enter dtmfs for mailboxes, or conf calls, downside uses a bit more battery
Hi mgr2003.
I have these options set, and it doesnt make a blind bit of difference unfortunately. I was hoping for some kind of CAB file for a fix? I dont know whats wrong with this device but its not as good as my previous TyTN II.
Sean
This question keeps being asked about once every week since the TyTNII came out. Sorry, but it is getting a bit annoying....
Once again: it´s caused by a bug in the HTC ROM and happens when a device password is set and the backlight times out during a call. Solution: disable the device password or - if you want to keep the password - push the power button twice after a call and you are back in business.....
That would be an all well and good answer but i do not have a password set on my device, so the answer doesnt justify?
Cheers for the Advice though.
Sean
I also have that problem with my tilt....when i am on a call the screen turns off..How can i disable this?
In that case I apologize for my somewhat rude reply. Your problem description just seemed to fit that bug exactly....
Sorry, have no idea what else may be causing that behaviour. Good luck, and if you manage to fix your issue be sure to let us know!
Did you use Kaiser Tweak to disable fast sleep?
Hi
I havent done anything to the device, it is exactly as shipped by OrangeUK. Its only 3 days old now, so not even had a second to do anything but use it.
Sean
I have an Orange TYTN II and this bugged me too.
Download Kaiser Tweak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898
Follow instructions on thread and disable Fast Sleep (advised)
Normal Backlight and Power Settings will still be active
hi, when i make a call and end it, the call history pops up. is there a way to disable this? i tried searching but only got the opposite- how to add a call history tab in TF3D!

hi, thanks for responding but youve misundertood. after each call the number pad comes up with the my last dialled calls. but ive just discovered the screen im referring to disappears by itself after 3-4 seconds.
ps. of course i havent read the manual, im a bloke
I´m also find that thing a litte bit anoying. So I would be great if there was a way to get rid of it.
Waiting is boooring
Would be nice indeed - especially as I almost always try to press 'Home' and the phone calls no1 in the list :/
I have noticed it to turn off by itself - still think its pretty useless...
The 'store unknown no. after call' on the other hand I really like
This has been a feature of Windows Mobile for years. I've developed a habbit of pressing the hangup button twice when I end a call, this makes the phone screen disappear.
Sorry for the bump, but I to find this "feature" very annoying - quite often i call someone from list call history list by accident after finishing a call
Anyone ??
Cheers, Jesper
i was writing about that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459066 very annoying - still no solution for that ...
Loving the Diamond... but big issues have come up and they are starting to make it difficult to really use the device. I am trying to determine if the issues I am having are brought on by myself or if the issues are related to some challenge with the phone or my carrier.
"What's the issue," you ask?
The Diamond will not pick up a call. The phone will ring, the caller display will come up, I'll try and pick it up by either pushing the onscreen command or pick it up via the pick-up button... nothing. The call rings through to voicemail. Meanwhile I have to call the person back who just called me. Massively irritating and even more irritating it's does actually pick up SOMETIMES. The problem is I cannot determine why it works sometimes and why it does not. 90% of the time it does not work. When I do get it to work all I need to do is activate my bluetooth headset and then turn it back off and we are back in the same situation where the phone will not answer, however, this time... the phone does not RING either! Yes that's right - all sounds go bye bye on the phone when I activate BT and then turn it off. Also, I cannot pick up the phone with bluetooth headset. I can hear the phone ring through and everything looks dandy but no go! Push the pick-up button - nothing. This isn't such a big deal really - I mean - who cares if it picks up on the BT headset - I just want to be able to answer a call in general!
Now - I do have a lot of applications on the machine from a modifcation perspective and I am thinking this could all very well be my fault. I have Advance Config, Diamond TF3D config, and Diamond Tweak all loaded (each have their own benefit.)
Strange thing is... I just did a test and the phone picks up JUST FINE. I'm about ready to pull my hair out. It's really hard to put my finger on it. Tried it a second time, if I try to answer with the soft key it won't work but the hard key will work. Now the hard key will not actually hang up the call - I have to use the softkey to hang it up. I don't know if anyone is having the same issues but I am to the point of hard-reset to start from scratch.
I actually had the "can't pick up" problem just yesterday, but with my Prophet. Using Pdaviet's MyVista 6.1 Rom and S2U2. The phone rang, S2U2 displaying the full screen call notification, no chance of picking up the call.
Do you also use S2U2?
When you find your self in a hole, it usually helps if you stop digging.
Unpalatable as it might seem, I think with hassles like you've got, a HR is probably your best option.
ps, just a thought, have you at any stage in your tweaking done any button or key re-mapping... either inadvertently or by design? Maybe worth a check before giving up
wow, that's a whole load of issues
I've had my Diamond for about a week now..... and have had none of those issues..... Bluetooth works fine, picking up is a breeze....
what provider are you with?
I remember reading more complaints about sound going bye after Bluetooth use in the early days of the Diamond. Try searching around a bit and see if you can find something. However, seeing your other issues, a hard-reset might not be out of place.
Also, for aesthetics, do note that it is usually considered bad practice to place two identical symbols after each other when masking cursewords with random characters.

By far probably the best advise yet!
The emotional side... aka incredible hulk... came out and punched shift/keyboard number row (pounded rather.) I was thinking in my head, "smash Diamond" and the KB had to take the abuse.
Carrier information for those who asked.
CDMA Diamond on the lovely Telus system (aka - Tel-us, we take your money)
As with all troubleshooting, you need to start from beginning. When you first got the phone, it could answer call. Right? So you need to trace back to what have you done to the phone step by step and to find out when it starts to fail.
Doh... Well I reset the device... seems to work now but something that seemed to be working before was my Zune subscription music from Zune Pass was synching to my mobile device via a Synch Center setup. I was amazed it was actually working... now it's not working So - I get calling back and lose the little trick that was working - Zune Pass DRM music synching with my Diamond... you win some and you lose some I guess doh.

You should do some research and some reading.
And relax a little before you Fire up and disrupt a Community in peace.
I have the same thing going on now... same programs installed as you.
Is it still working after a hard reset? Did you re-install all the same programs?
Well, I'm on a Telus Diamond, and had the no answer problem, and solved it with a hard reset.. just try it, it doesn't take too much to get everything back to the way you had everything..
I suppose many users are having the same issue with the HTC leather cover included in its box:
http://i.expansys.com/i/b/b168360.jpg
which is essentially that upon receiving a call, you obviously have to grab the Diamond and extract it from its cover - however, this results most of the time in you hanging up on the call, and having to call back. Frustrating to say the least - expensive too.
I was wondering whether or not someone had already found a *simple* solution to this basic pbm, i.e. not involving installing more or less complex appware e.g. S2U2 and the like.
The idea would be that upon receiving a call, the screen would turn ON - however, the screen would stay in "touch OFF" mode while only the phone keys (or all tke keys in the lower area) would become active, thus allowing to answer the call without the risk of hanging up.
There MUST be a single/bunch of bits somewhere in the registry that should allow this simple modus operandi... don't you think?
Ooops... didn't see the sticky at the top of the forum... sorry!
Well, guess this thread should be closed then.
I searched everywhere in the forum but I did not find the answer to my problem.
I have a problem with automatic pick up an incoming call when the phone is in a case . This problem does not occur when I have my Diamond outside case. Always when the phone is in case the phone automatic pick up an incoming call after six rings - no sooner and no later. I tried all the settings but I still failed to resolve the problem. Its really bother me, because when i have my phone on mute and i dont hear the phone, he picks up an incoming call.
Has someone any idea how to solve this problem? I would be grateful for any idea.
Sorry for my English
Download Answerkeys Disabler mate from Here Will solve your issue..
It disables software buttons (Accet/Reject/Mute) during an incoming call and enables your hardware buttons only of the device.
Hope that helps.
I already have it, but the problem is still there. Always when the phone is in case the phone automatic pick up an incoming call after six rings.

"This problem does not occur when I have my Diamond outside case"...Thats why I suggested the Answerkeys Disabler mate...The only logic I get from this is the case is the one accidentaly answer the call..Tried other lock apps like sensor lock and stylus lock?
Try also to make sure that your not enabling the "Automatic pickup" option in the phone.
Start > Settings > Phone > More tab.
You can use S2u there is a setting that you have to slide to answer

I have tried this program but still when i dont want to pick up the incoming call, the phone answer him sell after 6 rings. Because when i put the device out from case I dont have this problem.
Is there any chance that the light sensor have something with this problem?
Same problems
I have the same problems with mine ... just tried a hard reset... but its still doing it.
Its bad news ... especially if I have it on silent in a meeting since it answers itself and whoever is on the other end unwittingly gets to hear the discussion.
Oops - last post refers to X7510
I was searching in the X7510... had not noticed that this thread was in the Diamond forum. I guess it may help anyway since it does not appear to be specific to the Diamond or X7510 hardware. Seems unlikely to be dependent on operator ... I am with O2.
