I use the included HTC handsfree to listen to music/radio which, as you know, has a also a dial button (where the mic is too). When you double-press this button the phone calls the last number. The problem is that 99.9% of times i have most of the wire in a pocket and as a result it's pressed all the time accidentally.
Long story short, is there a way to disable this function/button ? In other words, when i double-press the button i want nothing to occur
anyone?

thanks mate, i'll give it a try and reply back!
yep, i confirm this work-around works
in fact, you don't have to put a dummy exe, i created an empty folder named "Redial.exe" and it worked

I bought a Touch Diamond recently.
But I can't resolve a problem with the fast dormont display during call function.
I tried to modify the setting in the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
I change the DWORD Data from 1 to 0.
But after a soft reset, I still have the problem that screen turns off quickly during calls.
It bothers me when I need to use the keypad during a call
to enter ext. number or to follow a vocal operation.
Does any one have the solution here?
Thanks a lot.
Craig Shih
My problem is now solved. Any one who needs the solution can go to post#19 and post#29.
But it needs more tests and feedbacks because I don't know how it works for other roms.
No body in the diamond forum knows how to solve this problem.
Maybe this is a very very difficult problem to solve.
No one knows how to sovle it until now.
Hope a real master comes to help us.
diamond bugs
yes it's really sad to have a expensive mobile without a support even the htc don't have a solution what kind of support we had ??? lucky us we had a website like XDA developer to help us tnx to the dude who put up all the tweaks and update....try to flash the euro rom it will solve the prob.blank screen during call...
as soon as phone call is received, just press on joystick centre button shortly. Display will not go off then. Simple enough.
if before you'll make the call ypu'll take out the stylus, it won't go off, and it will automatically start a note.this setting is in phone option last tab...
remember: it goes to sleep the moment you hold it against your ear (or your hand or anything in the front).
if you set the registry right it will stay on as long as you don't hold anything against the front.

that's an additional and necessary side effect since he only needs the display to stay on so he can use the keypad without pressing extra buttons.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I tried this method and then the call will be on hold immediately
until I press the central button again.
But it surely keep the screen on during calls though I have to press the central button twice.

Thank you for your suggestion.
It's a good functionality for diamond users.
But sometimes I want to use the keypad during calls rather than to make a note with stylus.
For example when we call for some credit card toll free service,
we might have to key in ext. numbers or ID numbers or card numbers etc.

Could you explain the registry for us?
Err... personal view..
If there is a solution.. it would be great.. but just in case, there isn't :
I have gotten used to it.
now if it is to enter extension numbers or whatever.. I just start off by pushing the center dial once. The key pad is there.. I get on with entering the ext. number or the Account numbers..
Same call - next time I have to enter other details, hit the center thing again.. and the key pad is there..
It's not that much of a hassle.
Of course a solution would be great, but even if there isn't, one does get used to it, in time.
why do you want it to stay on.
i noticed that when it stays on during a call, my ear is opening programs.
which i really do not want.
if you need to use the phone during a conversation just press the on button.

You are right, it 's not a big deal.
Maybe it's only my preference with mobile phone or somebody else's.
But if we can choose which way to go, that would be better.
i think there is a slotion please try
got this one now and it looks like problem solve for me

This registry setting will disable your screen from turning off when making a call:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Backlight\LightSensorPollingEnable set to 0
It disables the lightsensor so it doesn't react when you're putting the phone next to your ear.
It worked for me, so I hope it will work for you as well.

Hello. That registry entry solved that problem, but still after a few seconds the light turns off, even if I set it to turn off after 5 minutes in the Power settings. Is there any registry "tweak" to increase the backlight duration during a phone call?

Yes I can. Look at this post, point 8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2278799&postcount=1
This regkey is also mentioned a few times in this thread.
See also point 17 of that post.
Done.
This is what I did
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatteryTimeoutInCall set to 0
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatterySuspendTimeoutInCall to 0
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall to 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone Sleep to 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LightSensorPollingEnable to 0
That done..
Restart the phone (I waited for a minute or so)
Backlight remains on now.
Then, just for the hell of it.. went back into the registry and set back the default values for:
lightsensorpollingenable
Phone sleep
Fast dormant
Checked again.. still works.
If one or two people could confirm that this works, we could finally put a SOLVED thing to this nonsense and get it over with.
when I'm driving close to my gf house when she's expecting me, I usually give a ring in her phone meaning "wait me outside, I'm close"
the way I currently do this is:
1) close car window in case it's opened, and turn off car radio (otherwise step 5/6 is useless, can't hear the ring)
2) turn the phone on
3) press the phone button
4) hold 5 (speed dial)
5) hold the phone button to get speaker on
6) wait for the ring and press phone off
7) turn phone off
ok, that's not very speed dial... and I have to look to the screen to find the "5" button (so, usually, before leaving home I check if she is the last call, so I can just press phone twice)
any alternatives?
maybe I can assign a hard button to "call number X"?
or some software that waits for a ring and turn off?
well
I merged 3 and 4 using Longkey+vjphonetools, now I just have to long press phone button
this helps a lot, since now I don't need to look at the phone
but it would be great if there's some application that just waits a ring then turn off
and/or someway to make the speaker louder
I tried a lot of threads, but didn't find anything that helped
Uh....MS Voice Command+Noise Cancelling Bluetooth....
You can try creating some script with MortScript. After that just assign this script to hardkey. If you use S2U2 and assign this script to LongSend key you just need to hold Send key for 5 seconds and the script executes (no need to turn on or unlock phone).

I don't know if you GSM guys have had this problem, but my CDMA Diamond seems to.
Whenever I receive a call and I press the "Answer" button or hard key, it doesn't seem to connect instantly and allow me to talk. It would stay at the menu and I could continue to press "Answer" with nothing happening. Then after a minute it would finally connect and I can talk, provided the other person hasn't hung up yet.
Anyone know any solutions?
when i pres answer button it takes some seconds to connect
Hi, also me here when i press answer button i takes some seconds until somebody hers me, after i pres answer buton i shuld repet helo hello 3-4 untill the line gets conected

What rom are you using right now? I had this problem on Juicy2.1(Sprint), but it went away when I flashed to 2.2
Same here with all tested ROMS and same with all previous HTC devices ... seems to be standard "windows mobile behavior"
Edit: but I am on GSM
yeah, i also get this problem when hanging up as well, it takes ages to hang up, long after i've pressed the button or ended the call on the touchscreen
there is a string for "out call", is referred to idlecall...
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallProgressIdleTimeout
normally is setted at 3 (seconds) but you can change at 0
also for incoming calls:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\PhoneExtendSetting\EndCallTime
change always to 0
try those changes it should answer & hangup faster
bye,
davide

Just tried this, had a friend phone me, looks like it connected instantly this time. Of course, it's just 1 call, I'll have to see what happens with more incoming calls. Thanks for the suggestion!

Brendo, I LOVE YOU!
I can actually get calls from a locked state now!
You have no idea how much time, work, and frustration you have saved me.
What a concept.. A phone that answers calls!
Such oversight on the part of Sprint.
Dammit I cant find the registry!
I avoid .cabs.
i´ve noticed today that my "green or call" button is not responsive.
I have to press many times to enter the phone, and also to select a number in contacts and make that call.
Anyone had this problem?
I made a hard reset because it might be some software i installed and the problem is still there
no one are having or had this issue?
Try a soft reset, the touchpad with the buttons often looses it's way.

Yes i did, and also tried another rom beside de original.
I can say, that some times work and sometimes don´t work that well, but even without a reset it starts to work again but with some flaws.
I´m starting to suspect that this is a normal situation on most of the diamonds and no one has ever talked very much about it
I own my diamond for about a month and it only started to do this a week ago, that´s very very strange.

Every now and them my soft touch panel loses it's way.
Here's what I do to reallign it: either press on the bottom right corner twice or soft reset.

Even with a soft reset sometimes the problem continues.
I don´t understand your ideia, so the call button have something to do with the soft touch (whell?) they are connected?
When you say press bottom right corner, you say press the disconnect button? and it solves the irresponsive call button?
Do you know anyone with a diamond having this issue? It seems to me like a hardware problem.
It´s very very anoying and it drives me crazy.
Today the call button is working flawless, so i don´t understand this, send to warranty or not
Does anyone have issues with the keypad?
I think that some people are starting to have problems with it.
ok this is weird..all my keys aren't working at all incl. the volume key except the home key..even the touch-sensitive scrolling doesn't work. Oh and the phone keypad, compact qwerty and full qwerty (if T9 is on) don't work too......!
ok this is weirder..long press end key works...I suppose my problem is software?
okayyyyyyyy even weirder..it's fixed. I uninstalled Cyberon Voice Commander and Remote Desktop Mobile. I have a feeling it's Remote Desktop. However, it was fine when I first installed both programs so I have no idea what triggered the problem......maybe because I left my phone at the post office?!

Some application cause that symthons in the hardware buttons, but in my case i don´t none installed and also i don´t have no app to mapp hardware buttons.
I guess it´s a hardware flaw in my case.
Can anyone tell me of a fix that keeps the screen from turning off during a call? I assume this occurs on the Diamond and the Pro. I am using a Pro, but got no answer on the Rafael forum. Swear on my Momma's (your jargon here) that I searched for the answer..yes I'm a noob
try this
8. Prevent screen switching off during phone call --> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD ormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 (Note: does not work on all ROMs)
AND (tested and works on EU ROMs thanks to Rod65)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0
prolly wil do the trick...
but why would one want to keep the screen on during a a call???
you have an extra eye in youre ears?
or do you like to press randum buttons like "hang up" and such??
thats wat happend when i activated my screen during calls... now ive got it back 2 normal, and cant say i disagree with the initial design to shut it of during call...
besides that you can get it back on during a call with a simple press of the powerbutton
The reason why - Because when I get a call and I need to activate loud speaker / mute the call ... I have to do the following:
Push the power button, click unlock, push unlock again, then push "phone", and then make the adjustment.
At which point the screen goes off again!
How difficult would it have been for HTC to have just dim/disable touch on the screen, until you push a key to enable them??
screen on in call is needed when
on a automated service...i.e telephone banking
try and swap with this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2867404&postcount=1
You can also get the screen back on by pressing the 'Action' button - centre D-Pad... that's the way I do it. I just can't understand why anyone would want the screen on during a call?
