Hi all,
I'm not sure how to best describe this problem.
I'll explain it in stages...
1) I receive a phone call
2) The device wakes up and lets me answer the call
3) The device lets me hang up the call
BUT
Then the phone becomes unusable - the screen responds to my touch, you can open menu's but you cant select anything - nothing will happen. Some buttons dont work. E.g. you can create a new text message but the keyboard wont type anything even though you can press the key buttons.
I don't know but suspect it might have something to do with the fact that from the phone being in standby, the I have to do the following:
1) Tap power button to wake device
2) Presented with the owner information + notes
3) Tap this to move to the password screen
4) Type in password to access device functions
If the phone rings, obviously you don't have to enter a password - so perhaps the phone is getting confused?
ROM is Dutty's 2.7
Any help/explanation much appreciated!
Ta
Chris
I think you'd get more help if you posted in the right forum?
I posted it here because I thought it might be something to do with the ROM rather than the phone?
If it's best suited elsewhere then would a mod kindly move the topic?
Many Thanks
Chris

I read on a wm5 review somewhere that the os includes a special keylock option that shows up at the same place as the bluetooth icon on the today screen, that would make the ppc work like a phone, i.e. no key can be pressed when the ppc is on or off unless a combination of keys are pressed. I can't find it in the ba wm5 rom and i'm wondering if anyone found it, or is able to get it in a cab or something. Thanks
How do I lock the buttons?
I just upgraded to WM 5, and now can't seem to find how to lock the buttons when I switch off the device, as a result of which my XDA keeps turning on whenever I accidently hit a button. Anyone knows better?
Found the answer!!
Ok folks, I found the answer. It's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27614&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Mamaich has answered it as follows:
"I'll copy here the other my post.
The main reason for battery draining in my case was that buttons are not locked when the phone is turned off. So it constantly turns on when it is in pocket. To fix this - take following files from 1.40 ROM:
Backlight.exe
ButtonLock.exe
CSDType.exe
DIM.exe
Keyboard.exe
MicrophoneAGC.exe
WLanMgr.exe
MyCPL.cpl
and copy to \Windows folder on your device. Windows would cry that files are unsigned - say "yes", then reboot. You'll be able to turn keyboard backlight off, lock buttons, change GPRS class, but you cannot change brightness. The sliders are ignored. They are ignored even if you'll take driver from the WM2003 OS.

Many thanks Mamaich!!
Hey everybody! This is my first post on the xda-developers forums and I thought I'd make it a useful one. I attached the first WinMo6 application I made for my Tilt. It's a program which locks your keypad with the standard PIN prompt and quits. It's use? Lock your phone and set it to standby with two keys and no stylus.
Reason I wrote it? The second day I got the Tilt I found that the concept of being unable to lock the phone without the stylus confused and infuriated me.
Here's how you use it:
1. Download the .Zip file to your computer.
2. Extract the contents and copy the contained .Exe to your phone
3. Use jgermuga's PTT remap instructions found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1577293&postcount=12
4. For the \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C7 key set the (Default) value to "\Path\To\KeyLock.exe" (Obviously replace \Path\To\ with the appropriate path, mine was "\Temp\")
5. Also add a string called ResetCmd with the same value.
I used "MobileRegistryEditor" to edit the registry on my Tilt. Also included in the .Zip is the source code in case you want to compile from source, audit the code, or just don't trust me. Compile it yourself if you wish.
With the above steps you can have a simple method to lock and standby your phone: Hold down the PTT talk button for just about 1 second then quickly tap your power button. As soon as the application begins launching your phone is already being locked so you do not have to wait for it to display anything other than the spinning "please wait" wheel. Power it off right away.
This has made my life significantly easier, and I hope it helps yours!
Enjoy

Hmmm, doesn't seem to be working to well for me.
I orginally had setup up the 40C7 to open my "File Manager" (which worked fine)
SO I reset the value to "\Program Files\KeyLock.exe" where I had placed the file.
I ran the program.. it asked me if it was ok to run I told it yes... Scratched my head for a minute wondering what happened.. Went back to the post realized I missed step 5 "5. Also add a string called ResetCmd with the same value."
So I created a new string ResetCmd with the Value "\Program Files\KeyLock.exe" restarted the phone.. when I press the button now the loading thing comes up and the screen seems like it either flashes or flickers.. and nothing happens..
Than tried reseting the phone by pressing the little button at the bottom, after it booted up still no luck.
Let me know your thoughts... ( I used mobile registry editor as well )
What language is this programmed in, I'll just get the software from my work and see if I can play with it a bit...
OH and FYI running AT&T's Stock loaded Windows Mobile 6 Professional.
or you can download devicelock1.2, and map it to one of your hardware buttons. pretty much uses the built in device lock, but it makes it available so you can map it to a button, thus no need to use stylus to lock.
no need to unzip, just drag the file into your phone and install.

Where would I get this?
^ i updated my post, its attached now.
Ty, I ended up searching the forums for it and found it. I'll give it shot and post back in a few.
Thanks Device Lock 1.2 Works Like a Champ. TYVM for your help sir.
Hmm whats the deal with the beeping noise right before it initates the locking?
(I take it back, I like the beeping noise..)
Whats the deal with if you have it on EASY unlock. and Black Screen
When you hold down PPT to have it lock... then after it the screen goes black you press ppt again... Your easy lock is than disabled?
(I should probably post this in the Device Lock 1.2 orignal thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305402&highlight=device+lock)
I'm honestly unsure why it would not lock your device although I did set up a numeric PIN for my device which it prompts me to enter. Try running the .exe from the Program Files directory if you're still interested. If it doesn't lock your phone then I'm unsure why.

Yea I had tried that too. But the Device Lock 1.2 seemed to have solved my problem. Thanks though.
Hi:
Sorry if this is a dumb question. When you use DeviceLock, do you still have to press the power button to wake up screen before unlocking? I hate that power button, it is too hard for me to find sometimes lol.
Thanks!

when you use device lock, it will lock your phone and dim it, not turn off the screen. so you do not need to press the power button to wake it up before unlocking.
there are options in the settings that will let you turn off the screen when you lock, but i dont think that is what you want. leave that setting unchecked.
Ok, im really frustrated by certain things on the diamond, so much so im thinking of selling the diamond....
I love most of the features but a few things really annoy me...such as:
Why when a call connects, does the screen switch off?? This is really annoying when your listening to voicemail, for obvious reasons...
Secondly, i CANNOT switch my input type from FULL QWERTY, i change it, and then when i go back into INPUT, its FULL QWERTY again...why?
Thirdly, when entering a text, i dont want to view a full convo, and the last word of the text remains in the predict part, meaning when you click close, it asks if you want to save to drafts?
If im being stupid, then someone please explain....if not, can anyone assist? Please?
all of your problems have simple quick fixes and have been asked a million times by other people! i dont mean to be rude but please search the forum!
most of you problems can be solved with this one page thats always at the top of the diamond page!!

SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and to asnwer your question, the light sensor turns the display off when you put the phone to your head, its a kind of safty feature so that you dont press any on screen buttons with your face.
i like the feature, but like many others like you dont, its on the first forum link ive just given you as is the fix to disable the sms chat interface
I did try search but came up blank....The above isnt really a solution, more of a workaround, i want the phone to function as it should, i.e be able to change the input type via settings....
Thanks a lot for your other assistance though Keyz...
you change your input option from the touch flo 3d interface, NOT the settings page on WM.
go into a new text message, and press the little keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen
im not using the TF3D interface though....using WM.....
you have TF3D turnd off?
Yes, but i have switched it back on to see if i change my mind about it...
I still cant get the screen light sensor thing to work....weird...
hello,
i just flash my Kaiser with the new rom from htc, before i had the nothrill release, but it was time for me to change and he seems to be dead or something ....
So my tab misse calls on my htc home plugin display the misse calls, if i want to have all calls, i have to enter menu/filterby/all calls.
ok but the thing is it didnt save the last choice.
Could someone tell me what key i have to edit for the last choice to be remembered or at least all calls choose by default.
thanks
Some has maybe a soft that could do the trick?
thanks
1st. This is rom development section, youre tread is obiouse software related.
2nd. Could you rephrase the question, I read youre post 3 times now and dont understand what you mean or want.
Feel free to also provide screenshots while you wait for a moderator to move it into software section.
ok i rephrase my question.
i just put in my kayser the new rom from htc.
everything's fine , I have just 2 little problems:
on the htc home plugin , there is a tab who display missed calls (by default)
i'd like that tab displaying all calls (by default)
i discover another singularity, in photo mode the screen is black, i could take photo, but i dont have a preview
thanks
I don't believe there is a way to do what you want with htc home, the remedy for the black camera screen is to flash a compatible radio rom (do a search for the ultimate radio thread.
I have got a LG-Optimus P-698 android phone. I request for following help.
1. Is there a software that will help me to attend my incoming calls without the need to slide the call attending (green) button? It sometimes requires two hands to attend an incoming call.
2. How do I access the last made call to recall this number. In other touch phones it I just press one of the buttons (usually the left corner button at the bottom), it will make a call to the last called or last missed call.
3. I understand that there is software which when installed into the phone, will become a speaker activated phone as soon as the phone is kept away from the ear.
4. Is there a way to automatically add or ask to add the contacts of persons whose name/s do not appear in the existing contact list.
5. How do I change the default fonts.
6. Lastly what is rooting, root browsing.
1- it's easy to answer with your thumb, just practice
2- read your manual, press the call button (phone like icon) and the second tab is for the call record
3- never heard of an app that does that, but search the Android market
4- in the call record long press the number and select add contact
5- in settings>screen settings should appear fonts, if it's not there your rom doesn't support changing fonts.
6- rooting is not for the amauter user, start reading, start in Wikipedia or something and Google "android root" "what does rooting android means"
I hope it helps
Trolling in the deep.
