Has anyone figured out how to get the Voice dialing working with a Bluetooth headset?
Also can I just bypass the screen lock window after hitting the power button to wake up my phone?
I searched on both of these through Google and here and nothing...
Thanks for your help!
For the screen lock - instead of pressing "Power" than pressing "Menu" - if you just get in the habit of hitting menu twice that will do the trick as well. You'll quickly realize there is no reason to get rid of the lock.

I have experienced several times when carrying the diamond in my trouser pockets that it starts calling the latest caller 'automatically'. It is due to the fact that the diamond switches on after 'accidently' pressing the dial button. It then gets into dialing mode and pressing it again will start the re-dial.
Is there a way to prevent the diamond from switching on by pressing the dial or home key? I would like to be able only switching it on via the real power button. I don't like the standard locking method of the phone itself.
Any idea? maybe I didn't search well enough in the forums but it seems to be a hard thing to find.
S2U2 is one solution.

Mine doesn't do this. If the screen is off then only the power button will bring it back on. Unless I've misunderstood your problem?
Check in Start > Settings > Key lock if 'Lock all buttons except power button' is ticked. Is yours?

Indeed, I completely overlooked that setting! Quite stupid though.
Thanks a lot! Just what I needed!
Easily done, particularly with settings strewn all over the place!
I've made my Diamond auto lock when my display gets dimmed, with:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1
This is good, but I wan't to be able to lock my phone instantly.
I know I can press and hold the right phone button to lock it. But it takes about 4 seconds. Is there anyway to change this delay?
Also, is there ANOTHER way to unlock my phone again? So I DON'T have to use the touch screen? Like first pressing the round enter button and then down or left, right after?
my htc touch will not go past 'windows mobile' screen on turn on & will not turn off or do anything else, can you help
To lock the phone I just give the power button a quick press. To unlock without touching the screen just remove the stylus.
...or use this http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php . its a really neat application especially because of the minimum of hardware buttons on the diamond. I have configured it to lock the screen when i double press my "hang up/disconnect" button and switching wi-fi on/off when I longpress one of my volumebuttons...

yeah I know that program.. I've used it before but it kept crashing..
But I'll give it another try.
Hey guys,
I've got this problem. See, after sliding my fingers across the tabs, checking sms's, turning on wi-fi, and trying to logon to FB using the app I can't lock the device
What happens is, everytime i hold the hw "end" key to lock the device, nothing happens and the instant I let go, my touchflow goes to my "favourites" and if I hit the end key again, it continues going to next tab.
When I hit the "<--" key, it goes to the left tabs in the touchflow.
While doing this the directional and center button work, but the "talk" and "home" button don't work.
The only fix that I know of is rebooting the phone. But on some occasions I have been able to manage to get it to lock again.
Cheers!
I know we can lock the phone by pressing the end button, which turns-off the screen and locks the phone.
The problem i have is,i want to be able to unlock the phone "only" by using touch screen, by dragging the HTC curve-bar on the lock screen. This works but the real problem is you can also unlock by pressing the Menu button twice in succession.
Is there any way to stop the unlocking via Menu button ?
I've messed around with remapping hardkey actions via this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695936
Short answer: no, you will always need some button to initially turn on the screen on before you can swipe it, and by default whatever hardkey is assigned the MENU action will also unlock the phone with a subsequent press. If you want, you could edit your heroc-keypad.kl and remove "WAKE_DROPPED" from the line
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
That way pressing the end button will lock your screen but won't turn it back on, leaving you with only the menu button to turn on the screen.
the new "fresh 2.3.3" rom has that perk.
My phone tends to turn off in my pocket due to the power button being held and then, somehow, the "turn off" on the screen clicked. Is there any way to make screen lock lock the physical buttons as well? So that clicking the power button turns the screen on like it does now but holding it doesn't make the window prompt. From what I see, there's no such option in the android itself so some app maybe?
our phone have only one physical lock button but you can use some application for lock the screen by tap the application's icon such as "screen off and lock" or "lock widget"
and you can unlock by home button also.
Oh, but what I meant was not that I want to lock/unlock without using the physical lock/power button. I'd like it to sustain its funcionality apart from the "hold" action when the screen is locked. It shouldn't open the window with flight mode/turn off etc. when the phone is locked. Do the mentioned above apps let me do this?
So there's no way to change the function of the power button?
The above applications can only lock your phone by tapping the screen, but to unlock without using the power button...mabye a developer can help you so he will make a lock application wich ignores the power button when the phone is locked and you could unlock it by pushing the home button(wich is harder to pres by mistake in your pocket).
Anyway, it could be a good application for Market, I dont think that you are the only person that has this problem.
