Hi emstemmed XDA team..
Here is a problem I need an answer too as it's driving me nuts..
Just spent half a day on it and still haven't found an answer..
Problem: I have Truephone installed as my default call option..
When phone is in Lock screen mode..I get a call..
Call come in.. but..
Samsung (or android) is deciding that it needs to tell me that Truephone is in full screen mode..and it rattles on about the navigational buttons ..
The problem with this is that as it is the lock screen it's like a pop up. And won't let me answer a call..
I swipe it away but as it's persistent it will leave me at log in screen..which by this time I have lost call.. d
Do you think I can find where to time this dam thing off .
Not so far I have not found it in notifications .
True phone has all the correct permissions .
Notifications turn off or in has no effect on it .
I have got a work around via a sound button and or using the headphones to answer a call. But dam..do you think..?
New phone with android 10..
Hope that makes sense .
In a nut shell..it's a system pop up that won't go away and its dam hard to find where to turn it off .
go to setting and search "appear on top", open "appear on top" and allow the truephone caller to appear on top. and disable default phone app to appear on top.
Will be interesting to see if any of the tweaks worked..
Won't be able to test until tomorrow as got a Bud coking in and I can use his phone to call me a few times and test it .
I had that setting in place already..
So I am wondering if maybe goodlock might be the one..or always on..
I have pretty much turned everything off now and will slowly add back in once I know it's gone .
But it's been a hard one to find .
A few screen shots of what I have got at moment..
Ok. finally..a fix..
What it was is a first time setup Android notification that needs 3 swipes to get rid of..
It is a notification that says the on screens buttons are going to be hidden because the app (Truephone ) is working in full screen mode.
Then it gives up an arrow to swipe from bottom..
Sounds good .but..
Swipe up to get anything and that first screen will jump to unlock code ... And call drops.
So you just have to play with someone calling you and or another phone next to you and call yourself a few times..
Work your way through 3 screens of notifications from android..
Then it stops.
What stupid engineer thought it was fine to make someone go through 3 swipes before it stops. Idiot. ..
Hope this saves someone a week of trying all other fixes..as nothing in Google on it.
Thanks to XDA..!!!

Strange one this but I am left handed (eared) and after making a call I always find that my ear has opened lots of programs whilst talking. Is there a way to lock the display while taking a call or some other solution?
Also after uninstalling PocketInformant I now find my Calender softkey key is unmapped. I have seen references that I just need to remap it using "Advance Config" but I can't find that either.
Can someone help a halfwit..!
Thanks, Steve.

hey, I have the same problem with programs opening up with my ear. the only solution I found is to turn ur screen off while on a call (press power button) or don't press ur ear as hard to the phone

thats what i did. im still seeking a software which can automaticly lock the touch screen while on the call.
The easiest way is to just push the power button on the right side of your device while you're talking, as sometimes you might want to hit the speaker phone button or use the keypad. If you use this method of pushing the power button, all you need to do is hit it again and your screen is active.
PhoneAlarm will automatically blank the screen for you when a call is connected.

i might be wrong but when i tested S2U2 a while ago i recall seeing something about an option to "blank screen" during calls... may be worth a try, its free and available here at xda =)
cheers

As in post # 6 I also recommend PhoneAlarm. Does the job really nicely for me.
Thanks for all your fast answers..!
I knew all you smart guys would know what to do...
Somehow I am able to manage to switch of my phone ...
With my ear I am entering the connection manager and than I disable the phone or enter flight mode.
I am coming from a SE P990 and here the screen is automaticaly locked during a call.
It would make defenitly sense to block the input from the touch panel during a call, but keeping the display on for basic information. On the other side I would like to have also access if I want to look for a contact information or agenda setting during a call.

There are alternative solutions like PalmarySoft Phone ScreenLock which explicitely locks the touch screen without turning it off during call.
The best is that this app. does nothing else ... no today plugins ... nothing in excess.
Simple ... yet usefull.
Does it have the functionality to unlock while you're on the call?
Say you want to look something up while on the phone....
yes it does.
Is there a way to lock onscreen phone buttons?
Everytime someone calls, and diamond is in my pocket I either accept or reject call when trying to get it out of pocket.
So can I dectivate touch screen during incoming call?
Is there any tweak for this?
Greets guys
dont own a diamond but a quickfix...get bigger jeans.
No way... too big balls will bounce
resolved!!!
the fastest way to solve your problem is to install s2u2 (slide to unlock) newest version is 1.05 what i know...
so with the right settings when incoming call, you'll need to slide then answer/reject call or setup slide to answer or other.
its great i LOVE IT..
I just installed it... then uninstalled it 5 mins later because it looks GHASTLY!!
To lock the touch screen buttons you simply hold down the End Call button for a few seconds. Or is it the physical buttons that you're trying to lock?
You didn't get it
I want touch screen buttons to be locked DURING incoming call to be sure i wont press them when trying to put it out of pocket.
Even if diamond is locked, when phonecall screen appears, those buttons are ACTIVE and that is baaaaad
and S2U2.... doesn't work!!!
When incoming call, original diamond call screen appears and buttons are ACTIVE - su2u DOES NOT lock device during the call although there's option called 'slide to answer'

You are right: I do not get you.
At least I do not see your point. You want to have the phone locked during incoming calls? - how senseless is that. Especially in that moment I want to have it unlocked to be able to accept it. That is the way all my phones worked.
What do you do, if you get a call and have a your cell in the pocket? I never encountered such problems...
Jeeeeeeeezzzzzzzz !!!
In Diamond one can answer a call in two ways:
1. press onscreen button
2. press hardware button
Onscreen button can be pressed accidentaly while taking out of pocket, pouch or whatever.
So: All i want is to have onscreen buttons INACTIVE while hardware buttons ACTIVE so I can answer call ONLY by pressing answer HARDWARE button.
Tapping onscreen button will do NO ACTION.
Hope now everything is clear, cause my english isn't very good
^^and you made a joke when i offered my quick fix =P
I have the same problem that by the time I get the case out of the case i find that I accidently answered or hung up because I accidentaly touched the screen,I tried slide to answer but it is not working properly on the Diamond
This would be helpful, I have the same problem sometimes.
I'll look for a registry setting.
s2u2 not working?????
if its bad, ugly, or something, put an self image as backgruond, maybee that would cheer u up, im using version 1.00 that dosent got the slide to answer working good(beta), so i turned it of, then it worked great and i can still use hardware buttuns to answer, and if u dont like the apperence just remove background an d remove clock, all thats left is a black screen and the slider...
This thing with enabled screen answer/ignore buttons pisses me off too... May be we can install a new dialler without screen buttons?
Really no one cares?

i don't think it's about anyone caring. i think it's about the diamond being a new device and no one having the tricks/tips/tweaks yet. patience
I understand that. But if nobody care about an issue no one will look for the solution. I would install another dialer but i do not know how to uninstall the existing one.

Be great if you (or anyone else?) could find a hack for this - I have the same problem when taking the phone out of the case. It would solve my (our) problem if only the hardware buttons could answer/reject an incoming call.
Regards,
Gary.
Since nobody answered this thread anymore... Did someone find out? Or did you give up?
I need this badly, stupid on screen buttons always go off
I had the same problem but after i did this I had no problem anymore.
The answer button in default phone skin(WM6) is much smaller so the risk of accidentally reject or answer the call is not so high.
Hello guys,
I need to have my phone locked while talking coz my ear touching the screen launches unexpected apps.
please help.
Thats strange as when you put the phone near your ear/head when making a call the screen goes off which stops you from pressing any buttons accidentally. Although i usually press the middle button to turn the screen back on but even if i got the phone pressed against my ear and shoulder...ive never ever started any un-necessary apps.
Maybe get your ears fixed by the doctor.

what you want is default in 99% of the phones.... there are a lot and i mean a lot of posts here asking for the contrary: keep the screen off !
somebody finally discovered that all the registry tweaks are not working because this is triggered by the light (or motion' or both) sensor (keep yr phone face up when ringing and the screen does not go off).
you must be the only soul that is complaining that his screen is not going off
anyway try a search and you'll find lots of info. try also the pinned tweaks thread.
So, I downloaded and launched it perfectly... everything so far i tried is working fine except the lock screen... Some times when i press the Cancel key the button lights lid up but there is nothing on the screen and sometimes it appear the lock screen but nothing happen....
Do someone have any solution to this...
Thank you.
I have the same problem. I have been reading that possibly going back to an older kernel / roofs fixes this problem but have not seen and confirmed reports.
Can anyone confirm this and what version?
Thanks
Same problem at me. Both builds are running very fine for some tine but after that are running slow.I don't know why. Maybe is somehow related with the lockscreen problem?
I have this problem as well i get lucky if i manage to move passt the lock screen and the OS runs really slow it takes like 20 seconds just to open the app screen and the app screen laggs like no to morrow how come so menny ppls can get it to run just fine but i cant it makes me sad face
+1 one for me... I have got a TOPA100, it's almost impossible to wake up the device, sometimes the lockscreen is visible, but it's impossible to move the unlock slider. Usually I need about 10 times and something around 5 Minutes to wake up the device.
Same problem here, would be great if this can be fixed...

For me it's the same and the battery runs only for one hour, I think a (system?)process is running with 100% CPU time. I am new to android, so I don't know where to look.
Same here on an AT&T Pure. Sure would love to get this fixed however I'm reasonably noob to the Android world (not completely novice to linux in general, and I have successfully flashed my AT&T TyTN II thanks to this site.) Fixing this would be a huge help!
Thanks
More specifically on my device I encounter. The following:
- Turn screen off via end button.
- Turn on screen via call button.
HW button lights come on for a few seconds then cut themselves off.
Screen does not turn on at this point.
- Turn on screen via call button again
- Screen comes on with HW button lights
about half the time screen is unresponsive and will not all me to unlock with swipe of finger
Other times will accept input and unlock to the home screen
When unresponsive repeating entire process above will likely allow me to unlock successfully.
Thanks!

same
my screen never wakes up
end up using soft reset to windows mobile
(it could be something to do with startup??)
Ok so the sensor is VERY sensitive when I make calls. Everytime I call my bank and it asks to enter my account number while it's on speakerphone...my fingers don't even get close to the speaker and my screen shuts off until I put my finger far away.
Is there any way to improve or turn this off? It gets annoying when you are on the phone and trying to multi task and screen keeps turning off even though your not even close to the sensor
That is surprising because proximity sensor should be off when on speakerphone. Did you install any app which could directly affect proximity sensor? Maybe factory reset would fix that.

Yes it works like that but ur hands to close to the ear piece. Mind does that till I switch hands
BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S
When Im on the phone with somebody and i receive a text I could never use the scroll option to bring the bar down because of the sensor. What I do is hit the power button on the side of the phone, then hit it again and sign in with my code, then i dont have the sensor problem anymore. I will still be on the phone and Im at the homescreen. Thats the only way around it for me. its real quick too.
Solution
I am on the phone all day and need the screen to not time out because I am on and off the mute button a lot.
I use Call Light to make sure I always have the screen on when on a call.
Hope that helps some.
