Locking program the Touch hd needs.
1. On incoming call lock hardware key. (use the htc slide to ansrew/reject.)
2. During call the following combination of options are needed.
a. hardware key locking (screen is still active)
b. An option automatically turn off the screen (locked) when a call is answered or rejected.
c. A screen control option such as in_call_tweak
d. A slide to unlock option when in call
I would gladly donate of a app like this

Hi,
I am new to my XDA Orbit and am liking it very much. One annoyance (which is probably due to my ignorance) is that when I receive a text or an alarm goes off, my Orbit the device turns on / comes out of powersave mode and hence the screen is active whilst it is in my pocket (could be dangerous).
Is this the correct behaviour? Surely not, as input can be made from contact with your pocket? Is there a setting to change this behaviour? What does everyone else do?
Thanks in advance for any advice
Gary
Dosn't the XDA version have the screen lock like the mda?
It's a little padlock icon at the bottom of the today screen which says device unlocked, you tap it and the screen is locked from in pocket pressing, all buttons are locked too except the power button. when the device is switched on manually or by an event the screen is only active after using a 2 tap pattern, unlikely to happen by accident.
I must admit, I thought this was part of WM5 and not T-Mobile specific, strange it's not there on the xda.
It is possible to lock the screen before you turn the orbit off but it is a bit of a pain in the arse to have to remember to do that every time you turn off the device.
I was hoping for a program that would allow alarms and text message notifications without the screen becoming active.....
True, or you could re-train yourself to only do the screen lock and have the device auto-off in 3 mins or so, and it would be exactly the same.
Personally I find the screen wake up useful.
I can't say I've tried, but what happens if you go to Start - settings- Sounds & Notifications - Notifications
and go through all the text message received etc and untick "Display message on screen"??

this battery status plug-in works on mda compact iii and it has a setting to lock the device on wake up so all you need to do is switch it off to lock it.

So it does!! I didn't notice. This is an excelent piece of software to have anyway, so this is just a double bonus, unless you are unhappy with the 2 screen taps required to de-activate the lock.
Hitting the lock icon requires the stylus whereas the power button does not - much easier and intuitive.
Will have a look into the alerts settings
Thanks for your help
Can't say I've had any difficulty hitting the lock (and definately not the unlock buttons) with my thumb, one handed, but see above for auto locking option, you 100% don't need to get the stylus to unlock.
i auto lock when the screen goes off and unlock with my thumb one handed, easy and intuitive
I've been looking for a good app that would lock the 4 buttons on an incoming call and do nothing else, but so far I have been unsuccessful. All the apps that are capable of doing this usually come with several strings attached, one of which is usually a whole new interface for the dialer.
What I am looking for is simple - when a call is incoming I want the 4 keys to be locked, but the screen to remain unlocked, so I can use the slide to answer part of the dialer.
Does such an app exist or if it doesn't, would somebody with the appropriate skills be able to write one?
LockMeLite 1.3 does this. Only other thing except that is it locks the screen when you wake up the phone, so it is not so 'heavy' application like s2u2 for example.
Thanks, but I was aware of LockMeLite. And as stated in the first post, this app forces screen locking on me. If I was able to disable the screenlock and keep the button lock during call active I'd be a happy camper.
Well, you can disable screenlock on incoming call, and if screenlock on power button press is so much of an issue for you... maybe if you ask the developer kindly, he will disable this feature just for you (or in the next version)

I was hoping for that kind of program too The best so far is AE button and put call/hangup on double tab. Wish someone could make a prog just to disable buttons on incoming call
I'm looking for this kind of app too !!!

I think during conversation, the keys became unlock. It only lock when you have an incoming call and before you pick up that call.
Try TouchLockPro (link in sig). Version 2.6 is the first release which is usable on the HD as the sole locking utility. It is very configurable, so I think you'll achieve what you want.
How do I turn this stupid feature off?
I'm sorry but why is turning the screen off if it is in your pocket a bad feature? You won't be able to see it anyways.
Settings > Display > Screen timeout maybes?
I'm an idiot
Screen turning ON at the end of the call - causes the phone to do what it wants (call other people, edit contacts, etc)
Before you put the phone in your pocket, press the power button to lock the screen?
Happens all the time. Just goto settings and use the additional lock pattern or use an alternative from the market. Make sure you select an easy pattern for one hand unlocking.
I just installed Widgetlocker.
Is there way to not have the phone being locked under Widgetlocker during calls when the phone turns off screen in a call?
Usually after 15 sec in a call... my phone's screen goes out.. but when I try to use functions during call such as dialpad, mute, etc... I have to unlock the phone again through widgetlocker..
The phone would normally not be locked under the default locker..
Is there a way to change this?
Thanks
In WidgetLocker edit mode, try pressing the menu button - Settings - Behaviour - Show In Call.

New GSIII user (just got it for Black Friday). 2 questions relating to the lock screen.
1. I read another post sort of related to this, but not really (almost the opposite in fact, he wanted the pattern or pin lock but had other issues). So, I have my lock screen set to unlock with only the swipe. Why are none of the advanced lock screen options available unless you choose a more stringent unlock option (like pattern or PIN)? Even with just plain swipe, I want a delayed lock after the screen shuts off, and and I want to st DISABLE the instant lock with the power button. Is there any way to do this without having to set a more stringent unlock method? And if not, what possible reason would the designers have for now allowing those other options without using a higher unlock method?
2. Not sure if this due to the lock screen, or a bug with Bluetooth, or a combination of both. I actually tried playing with a pattern unlock screen, but when I have that enabled I can't do Bluetooth voice dialing. I press the Bluetooth headset offhook button, and the phone wakes up, but then it just sits at the pattern unlock screeen and won't respond to voice until I unlock the pattern. But if I revert to just a plain swipe unlock, then the Bluetooth voice dialing works just fine (I press the headset button, phone wakes up AND listens for voice). Bluetooth voice dialing is a CRITICAL function for me.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I got hold of a Samsung tech via live chat on their web site and he confirmed that this is how it it works. I suggested these were poor design decisions and asked they pass along my request to ask that these be changed in a future update (of course, no gurantee that there will even be a future update, but I can hope).
