Hey i have a quite a bad problem. My phone appears to be unlocking its self very easy and ringing people in my pocket, today it rang 8 people in the space of an hour. Ive got pocketshield but this stops it picking up calls, not ringing them. Im unsure what to do. I dont even know how its happening, im thinking the top button must keep getting pushed in my pocket or something.
Any ideas/apps to lock phone after wakeup? I dont want to put the pin on it because it may end up locking my phone instead! plus its a bind having to enter a pin every few minutes. Something like pocket shields scroll down the screen etc would be good. But i see no option to enable it for when waking up.
Thanks.
I've had no such issues since using S2U2. Give it a try!
Or LockMeLite - much lighter than S2U2 and doing just what you want - locking the screen and hardware buttons when power button is pressed and unlocking the screen on incoming call so you don't have to unlock to answer and still keeping the buttons disabled so you can take it out of the pouch without accidentaly answering/ignoring the call.
Me too.. LockMeLite has been definitive for me. No more "lost" calls by hardware.
Fk
My solution was to stick a crystal case on it,it recess's the power button so its not pushed by accident.
if u press and hold the phone icon bottom right it locks the screen , to unlock pull out the stylus.
the problem is its not to do with calls or texts, i have pocketshield for that. Its to do with the powerbutton keep getting knocked. At least i think it is.
holdign down the phone key to lock the screen sounds like a gd idea ill look into that.
And yeah getting a protective case might solve it too. Ill cehck that out too thanks, though i do kinda like the sleak design. I gues its gona get ruined proably lol.
:EDIT:
Simply locking the screen before turning it off works a charm! thanks. Now im just wondering, is there an app that will just auto lock it when i turn screeen off ? Just makes it all that easyer so i dont forget and call people again!
I had the same problem before using a belt case. I tried s2u2, but it's lagging. Now I'm satisfied with Pocketshield. Just work in its setting and you can have it work well.

Again - LockMeLight. It locks the screen automatically when the phone goes to sleep and you have to slide the screen down when waking it to unlock it. On top of that it disables the hardware buttons when locked, so no accidental calls are made when you unwillingly wake the device even with the screen locked.
original case
i use original htc case for hd.

Hey everyone,
I am having issues with my TP2 screen turning back on to easily and consequently lots of things get pushed in my pocket, and emails sent etc hahaha.
Like it only takes a brush over the power button to turn it on and this happens just about every time it goes into my pocket or pouch.
Is there some way to get the keys to lock when i turn the screen off?
I have noticed on long end key press there is a lock function, but this seems to have unlocked itself a couple times in my pocket.
What can i do? this is starting to annoy me.
Thanks
Buy a case
you can set it to lock when you set the sceen off. But still it will be the same lock screen.
there are nummerous apps for a alternative lock screen, there are at least four threads about it. I suggest you search in this forum and the forum rhodium software
Would like to give you some links, but I'm in a bit of a hurry.
Thanks mate,
I will try searching a bit better, what i was searching before wasnt giving me anything.
Cheers
Does S2U2 work on the TP2? I use it on my Kaiser and very much like it.

I have always used the WM built-in password lock - set to 1 minute, the whole thing is locked, on any device.

You have to set the time to 0 (zero) for the power button to work. I myself have been trying some different lockers, i like the Throttle locker which i used on my TYTN II and aslo on my TP2. I didn't like the password lock on the TYTN 2 since it wasn't so finger friendly but thanks to the tip here i will use the password built in with time set to zero so i can power off easy and not let people sneak into my phone.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2. Is there a way to make the phone wake up if it receives a phone call but still keep the phone locked? Like I want to have to unlock it before answering the call.
Sometimes at work I don't necessarily hear a call or want to answer it. The phone unlocks and then while it's in the case in my pocket, it's vulnerable to screen taps and hard buttons presses because it's not locked anymore until it goes to sleep again...that's if it goes to sleep cause I am physically active at work and the case may press against the screen a little and etc.
I use LockDevice v1.6 too

LockDevice v1.6 is a program to turn on the phones stock lock when you hit the power button...not a soft/hard button lock.
To lock the hard buttons/soft buttons.screen tabs when you get a call, reminder, ect you will need a lock program such as:
S2U2, TouchLockPro, or PocketShield. These are probably the more well known ones.
I have tried Pocketshield and am now trying S2U2, both seam to be doing the job good.

Hey thanks. S2u2 is awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Everytime I boot my phone up, it works fine up until when the screen goes into sleep mode. Once it goes into sleep mode I cannot turn the screen back on, it stays black. The keyboard, end and answer key lights show up when I press the power button but the screen just stays black no matter what button I press.
I end up having to either take the battery out or using the stick to press the reset button on the side in order to get the phone to where I can see the screen again. I have adjusted the settings to where the screen doesnt go into sleep mode and the screen just stays on but that drains my battery. I want to be able to have my screen go off so I can save power but if it goes off it wont come on again until I reboot.
I have done a hard reset. This problem started happening to me when I started using the Energy Rom but I've even flashed different Roms and the problem still exist.
Somebody please tell me what's wrong! I need help! This is a big annoying problem to have. Thanks.
is this problem occurring when you slide the keyboard out?
i had the t-mobile touch pro2 with this problem.
the screen would die when the keyboard was out and not come back.
if this is the case, what i did was...
well. obviously not open the keyboard fully.
but if i accidentally had.
instead of pulling out the battery, i waited...
till the screen 'naturally' went to sleep.
than i would pull out the stylus or press power button
and the screen would come on.

Yes the problem still exist even when I slide the keyboard out. Once the screen goes off, that's it....pressing the power button to get it out of sleep mode, sliding the keyboard, I press all buttons and nothing works. The only thing that "works" to get the screen back on is removing the battery or using the stylus to press the reset button.
When sliding the keyboard out the keys light up but the screen doesn't come on, also pressing the power button lights up the end and answer keys without the screen coming on.

so. whenever the screen goes out, period, you cant get it back?
or the screen goes out and cant get it back once you slide the keyboard out?
if it is only when sliding out the keyboard...
try not opening the keyboard fully on the right side.
on my rhodium, after that point, the screen goes out.

Yes, period. Also, you know when you put your face to the phone during a call and the screen goes off so your face wont press anything on the screen? It doesn't come back on from that either once I end the phone call, it just stays black. I'm assuming you don't have any other suggestions. This Sucks

This has to be a software issue but I don't know where to start. I'm surprised nobody else has encountered this problem. I've grown frustrated of this issue because I don't understand why it's doing this. I have had the phone for almost 6 months only dropping it once 4 months ago and it wasn't a strong damaging drop that would affect anything inside. I guess I'll just have to go last resort and call warranty to swap the phone out. Thanks for the help.
Same problem

My phone also dos not come back on, when I put it in out the sreen with the power button on top, or when the phone goes to sleep. Nothing can put it back on(opening te keyboard, pulling out the stylis, presing the answer-, windows-, back- and end button). I and up using a music players too keep the phone busy what's makes it operational. Cant really remember when this started happening exactly. My phone is at the moment loaded with a standard ROM. I used too have a custom ROM.
My TP2 does this too, although I only encounter the problem sometimes when someone calls. I answer and put the phone next to my ear, the screen goes black as it should and the phone just dies. I can't hear what the other person is saying and the screen wont turn on anymore. I have to take out the battery to reboot.
set light sensor to manual in settings. You have some bad or fragmented code causing the problem. Pretty common actually, many different reasons, but usually either a bad light or proximity sensor or software issue. Setting the sensor to manual should do it, if not, hard reset and allow the phone to fully set up before touching it, to allow full customization process to complete. Search my posts on SOD (sleep of death) for more information.
Funny this was brought up. Now im worried I just dropped 250.00 and have a new one coming.
Mine started with the ear piece quit working. couldnt hear anything except on speaker.
Anyway I started having the screen issue over a month ago, only way to get it back was soft reset with the stylus. Also when the screen was lit, I couldn't hit the power button to turn the screen off. At times the screen would be on 24/7 and I just dealt with it. The times when it decieded to go to sleep was when I needed the soft reset. Well long story short I forgot my charger one day at work and the battery died. after pressing the power button for hours with no response, moving the screen in all diffrent directions as I pressed the button.It came on once after hrs of messing with it. Well today it died again and I am fed up with it so out came the tools. Once I opened it up I noticed the ribbon that feeds the screen from the mother board was worn and torn. the ribbon slides everytime the keyboard is slid out and it rubs on both sides of the phone. I thought maybe mine was just a fluke and was installed wrong considering the phone being 10 months old but now I read this and see maybe its a common problem. The cheapest I could find the Ribbon was 56.00 so I didnt want to chance it not being the issue.
This has been bugging me for a while now, and it is not clear to me, why anyone would want to shutdown the phone on the lockscreen.
What happens is, when i sit down, the on/off button is presses against my thigh and turns off the phone. I find this to be rather annoying, escpecially since this makes the phone rather obsolete.
is there any way to disable the shutdown functionality while the phone is locked?
is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?
Nope..... sounds like you have a faulty unit to be honest mate lol
seriously? your phone doesnt turn off when you hold down the power button on the lockscreen?
i find it hard to imagine that this might be a hardware issue. nevertheless, i use an HTC Mozart.
Mine shuts down too.... but I have a HD2 with WP7 so I wasn't sure if it was a WP thing or a WP+HD2 thing.
Get a case and stop having it hit your thighs. I can honestly say I have never had the power button depressed on accident on my Samsung Focus, with or without a case.
Not really much else you can do unless someone finds a very specific reg tweak.
Oh, thanks for your feedback. well that sucks..
What were they thinking? Who would be too lazy to unlock their phone before turning it off? I really resent the iPhone, but at least its developers had the common sense to add a confirmation slider to the shutdown process. Even WM used to show a dialog box.
Ive now got a pin code on the lock screen and disabled the sim pin. So now, at least, it turns itself back on and connects to the network automatically - provided I acidentally manage to hit the button again of course xD
Hope we find a registry setting that will do the trick, or maybe MS might even be bothered to fix this in one of their very regular updates...
Im with you on that , my focus (with the case ) shuts down easy when barely touched , Im really surprised the guy with the Focus hasnt accidently shut down, then again if you dont ever put it in your pocket or hold it the wrong way ,I guess that wouldnt happen, Im sure theres a hack for it, but not having (full) access to registry is limiting the chances of creating the string!
Just got my Optimus G Pro a week ago, coming from several years of iPhone usage (and upgrades).
As of yet I've not rooted or anything, it's totally stock aside from some play store downloads.
Here's my question. (I don't know if it's by design or if my phone's messed up.)
When on a call, if I hit the lock button, it darks the screen but the phone is not really locked. Any button press takes me straight to the call screen. Is this by design?
The problem I'm running into because of this is; randomly while on a call I'll hear two faint beeps and the screen will turn on. But there is no notifications (no mms, no emails, etc) and I don't have minute minder (plus the beeps are random, not on the minute) so I don't know why the screen is coming back on.
Both of these issues basically means the phone is going to call screen when in my pocket (I use headphones a lot on calls) or on my desk or whatnot and I have accidentally hit buttons.
I'm used to the iphone where when I hit lock, it's really locked. You cannot accidentally activate the phone unless you first unlock the phone. This is a big deal to me because I'm on conference calls a lot. I need to be able to trust when I lock the phone that it's locked (lockscreen).
Outside of calls it works fine, I lock it and I have to do the unlock action to get back to the phone from the lock screen.
Anyone have any insights or suggestions? And is the no lock screen while on a call by design? (cause that'd be a little lame)
I love this phone and really don't want to root (/ custom rom) yet, at least not until I have vetted all the stock issues to make sure custom romming later didn't cause these issues. To me, the lock button should always lock no matter what the phone is doing. It's such a basic expectation that had I rooted or rommed before this I would swear it was cause by that and not a stock function.
The first question yes it does that by design you can hit the home button in call and go back to the.home screen......and if the phone sees light it.thinks its away.from your.face and wakes back up to.do stuff like text or input numbers for call centers and stuff

Hitting the home button while on a call does take me to the home screen, but the phone still doesn't lock. Lock button takes you to a blank screen but the phone is still not locked (at the lock screen).
I believe it's by design, but it sure doesn't make sense. Why would a developer think "Hey, you know that dedicated hardware lock button that all phones have? How about we just not let it work while people are on calls? Why would anyone want to keep their phone from being messed with while on an important call, that'd be silly... Maybe next update we can make the home button randomly take you somewhere other than the home screen."

I don't know but why would you lock a phone during a call? you won't be able to input numbers during a call or just remove it from your year for a second to glance at the call time.....and when the call ends the screen lights up to show you call info and reminding you if you want to lock your phone............so what i am trying to say if i cannot understand the usefulness of locking during call.......if you want the screen to turn off the proximity sensor does that.................can you please give me an example of its use.....thank you
