I am getting very interested in switching my 3gs (and hero) to this beauty but I need to know if the screen/ buttons works as I hope. Does the desire stay locked during a call if you use a bluetooth headset?
I found this very annoying on my hero that I constantly hung up on people while on a call..
Is there anyone lucky out there who knows?
If you are using the secure lock with 'password' it stays locked.
If you are using only the keylock, it does not stay locked.
BUT...
The phone has a proximity detector which is enabled during calls and turns the screen off _before_ anything touches it, so there shouldn't be a problem.
Ok great news. Are you anledning to hang up With Any of the hardware buttons?
Non comprehende
Oops haha iPhone dont like me writing english.. What i meant was are you able to hang up with hardware buttons during bt Call? With My hero i believe the trackball could hang up a Call. Then again hero has answer/reject buttons but desire dont. Thanks alot for info!

Here's the scenario.
I have my blueangel in my pocket.
It's off and the button lock is engaged so that it wont turn itself on accidentally. There's nothing I hate more than when it switches itself on in my pocket and goes berserk with random screen input.
My bluetooth headset is connected.
(I'm not even gonna start on how appaling the blue tooth on the blue angel is !!!!!, but that aside.....)
The phone rings and I press the answer buton on my headset to answer it.
The damn phone is now on in my pocket and the screen is active and receiving input during the call. Quite apart from anything else, there is a great big red END CALL button on the screen just waiting to be touched.
Assuming the call survives any problems, at the end of the call I have to get the phone out of my pocket to turn it off again because it wont turn itself off unless the activity timeout occurs which is not going to happen if the screen is being brused by anything in my pocket.
Is there some configuration or tool or utility or something that can detect when the phone is in handfree mode and disable screen input unless a certain button is pressed (like the green phone buton) and then switch the phone off again when the call is terminated ?

Have a look at this.
Im using it, and its the one that does the job best of them all out there, well in my opinion anyway
What about a case?
I had an alu one... no problem!
OK. I got NiceStart and had a play with it.
I think I have got it configured to work OK now.
Seems to solve most of the issues I raised.
I can't believe I had to get extra software to do that though.
I mean, it's not as if any of those probelms are either unforseeable or hard to solve.
It makes you wonder if the people who design these devices ever actually use them for real for any length of time.
The worst thing about it, is that i can buy a 1$ phone with a locking thats even better than this.
People have been screaming about this since the birth of WM, but M$ dont seem to be hearing this.
I have set Start->Settings->System->Button Lock-> Lock all ........power Button
Set a 4 digit password in NiceStart and mapped it to the 4 action buttons right under the screen.
Works great, but the screen will from time to time light up (M$ thing that it must do) to check the battery status. This cant be stopped in any way.
Well I've spent the weekend hacking the hell out of my new S621 to get it how I wan't.
One things thats really bugging me though. Using the built in keylock (manual) or automatic keylock, if the phone is locked and I answer a call the phone automatically re-locks once connected. Which means to do anything like speakerphone or even hang up the call I first have to unlock the keypad.
I've never owned a phone that was such a pain in the ass to hang up a call.
Is there a workaround for this? Something i'm missing?
Small but frustrating.
I dont know if anybody can help, but the 1 thing that annoys my about my BA/wm6 is when you get a call, the screen is active, so when your geting it out of your bag or wher ever your touching the screen and loading up progs and stuff.
So is there a app or anything that will disable the screen when its ringing? At the moment Im using slide to unlock, and that will disabled the screen when calls are connected but not when ringing???
so why does the software companion make it?
I think to see the contacts incoming call!
Jejeje think about it... it cant be done man
Ive made it a tad better cos theres a option in s2u that ive found and it displays the s2u screen when you get a incomming call with just answer and end buttons at the bottom of the screen. I wanted those buttons gone aswel, but you cant have everything can you. The most important thing that Ive got rid of the today screen when you receive incomming calls.
I was reading the user reviews of the Fuze on another website when I noticed one saying that the Fuze requires you to press the power button to reactivate the screen each time you need to press a phone number button on the screen while you are on the phone. Is this a requirement on the TP2? As someone who has to deal with phone trees and other automated phone systems alot for business calls I was thinking that I should ask about this as it would be extremely inconvenient.
The proximity sensor will automatically turn on the screen if you move your face away from the device during a call. There's a big button to bring up the keypad to use. If the keypad is deployed and you put the device back to your face, the screen will turn off. But if you turn the screen back on, the keypad will still be deployed, so that's pretty useful.
Thank you very much for this information, it in nice to hear that this problem was resolved on the TP2. I was also wondering if it is possible to run the speakerphone with the TP2 in face up so one could type on the dialpad on the screen while hearing the responses from the phone call? I'm guessing this is possible as my old 8525 does it fine but I just thought I should confirm it. Thanks in advance.
During a call, you can also take out your stylus, it will start notes.. makes it available to write on the screen during a phonecall.

Yes, there's a large button during a call for you to tap to switch to speakerphone as an alternative to putting the device face down on a table. Dialpad works the same in speakerphone mode as in normal mode.
Hi all,
I have a hd2 at the moment and going getting a desire next week. Is there any app out there to reassign the hardware button to answer hang up .
Not sure but I wondered the same coming from the G1 but tbh you don't need one. The phone works very well with the proximity sensor and you have a very big end call available on the screen as well as slide up and down answering functions when receiving a call.
