Whilst receiving an incoming call and the phone is ringing, if you press the power button it disconnects/hangs-up the call before you even get a chance to answer it. I often accidentally/unintentionally press it whilst pulling it out of my horizontal belt case! Grrrrrr.
Is there anyway to stop this occurring?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683902 should give you a good start. That's the file with all (most?) key mappings. Figure out what the function to reject calls is, and then remove/remap it from the power key.
Thanks, but I haven't rooted my phone.
Waiting for Froyo release to decide if I should do that.

All I can say is either root & get dirty, or be careful when you pull it out.
Mind if I ask why you don't wanna root?
It IS a big problem with the call reject via the power button.
I wrote HTC support regarding this and got the following answer:
Hi Jan, Thank you for contacting us regarding Desire. Unfortunately there is no option to disable the reject call feature using the Power button. We have not had any feedback regarding this yet, but if this becomes a general problem - as in customers complaining over this feature - we will pass it on to our technical department in order for them to possibly make a change / fix for the devise. I will pass oyur feedback on to my superior, and if we have a You are welcome to contact us again for further assistance.
So I guess that I can only recommend that you all write to HTC Support regarding the Power Button issue - both the reject and the immidiate power on when the device is powered off.
my phone is rooted htc pico. how can i do that.. having same problem >_<

Having found out that my phone has made an international call (lucky it only lasted 34secs) is there a reliable key lock that doesn't involve setting a password? Why wasn't the HD designed so you have to press 2 keys (like most mobiles I've ever used) to get it active - or maybe it is and I just haven't find the combo yet.
Bad design I think as the amount of times I've turned the darn thing back on when putting into my pocket....I've lost count.
Anyway, what works for you?
Cheers

There's the usual power button... which should be good enough, but if not... just hold down the call 'end' key (hang up button), that should invoke the regular windows lock screen that doesn't require a password, just two key presses.
i use s2u2 and the standard lock on phone.
and i use tweakhd.
i know what happened.
when u receive a message, or a reminder the phone unlocks. it happened a couple of times to me. the phone is in my pocket and i press the screen with my leg and it starts calling.
solutions:
add a name in your addresslist, call it AAAAAA , with no phonenumber.
clear your "last call list" often
use s2u2
use the standard phone lock with pincode
use tweakhd ( you can adjust the unlock-mode when receiving a message)
i am sure its too much, but for me it works.
in s2u2 i add the option: unlock phone when pulling out the stylus. then i have to give my pincode.
good luck.

i have been using this on my hd ,for a while ..had a bit of problems with earlier versions ...but last few ,versions have been working very smoothly.. .(.indeed
worth to try... )

Thanks for all the replies...but I've gone with TheBrilliantMistake suggestion....... not 100% but a vast improvement on just pushing the power button. I never even knew you could hold the end call key.....no mention in my phone handbook. Live and learn!
Thanks everybody...this is a great forum!
This problem is a pain in the butt. Get PocketShield and it will solved all your problems but it cost $14.99

It disables the "end" and "answer" hardware keys.
Maybe it's just me but I would like to go to my home screen when I end a call instead of back to the dialer/phone. I searched but couldn't find anything on that.
Anyone know how to do this or care to figure it out?
This is too easy....press the hardware End key?
You may want to elaborate if this isn't what you're after...

I take it you're like me and you spam the end key about 5 times at the end of a call?

Ok now I feel stupid. Thanks though, I would probably never have thought of that on my own.
Is it possible to get the onscreen end key to do the same?
I made a post with a similar problem a while back and had no replies to fix it.
The contents are as follows:
Tilt2, End call, looking at contacts! Why?
Tilt2: If i get a call and hit the end call button, why am i left looking at my contacts. It ONLY happens on incoming calls. If i end call on a call i made, from within my contacts, it goes back to the main screen!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574970
My problem is that i use spb mobile shell and after i end the call, the phone relocks. When i later unlock the phone, i am still looking at the contacts.
Ok I don't feel so stupid. Hardware key does the exact same thing as soft key. Phone isn't fast enough to hit it twice in succesion and lock the screen in one fluid motion so I go back to my original request.
Anyone know how to get it to go from end call (soft or hard butotn) directly to home screen instead of to the dialer?

Not sure if it has anythign to do with it or not, but might it have something to do with the phone asking if you want to add them to your contacts and maybe you are inadvertantly hitting somethign sending you to your contacts?
I've not had any issue with it pulling up my contacts unless I accidently hit something.
Whoops, should read:

Im am positive i am not hitting anything on the screen because sometimes i hit the talk and speaker phone, then use the end call button. We have 2 of these and both do the same thing. It only happens if the phone was locked to start with. If the phone is not locked (figured this out playing them), once i end the call, the contacts screen will go away in 10 seconds or so.

Try this. Hit the End key and then the Back key in quick succession. This will bring you to your last opened window. If you didn't have any active windows, this will bring you back to your home screen.

Just now I received one incoming call,i pressed side volume button,the phone was silenced, I tried again,no matter up volume button or down button,the ring will be silenced.
Is this the normal feature of HTC Touch Pro2? or is the bug of the rom I am using? or there is any setting that can change this behavior?
pls kindly test with your phone, help me with this issue.

I don't think it's a bug, and it's a feature of the tp2. I've used that feature all the time, and it works the same in all the roms I've tried. If you don't want the ring silenced, don't press the side volume button....though I have hit it by mistake when pulling my phone out from time to time....but by this time, you already know you have a call, so no big deal.

thanks for reply,I am relieved.
Aye. normal feature. Its even part of the stock rom. Its easier if you want to silence your phone rather than trying to fumble around on the touch screen if you need to silence it quickly.

Got a new thinking when came back to look at this post,this HTC phone....press volume key to mute incoming call (ringer) is good feature for people,but maybe some people dont like it,they want the phone to ring for a while and let people around him know that he got a good ringtone or he got busy. if the ring stops by accidentally pressing the volume key,he will be pissed off.
Joke is joke,but will be nice if there is option to disable this press-volume-key-to-mute-incoming-call thing.
When I swapped from the iPhone to android, I really missed the button on the top of the phone to end calls. It was very convenient, I think.
I was therefore delighted to see that the desire had a button on top that I upgraded from my hero immediately (amongst other reasons of course!)
Problem is, when you press it while in a call, it just turns the screen off. Does anyone know if someone has developed a hack to end the call with the power button?

Download and flash the Defrost 0.9 ROM from richardtrip. In Accesibility in settings, you can then enable the end the call from power button
While froyo is cool, I'd prefer to do this in my current sense Rom.

Strange that it doesn't work when in-call. I know it (the power button) disconnects/hangs-up a call whilst ringing, because I often accidentally press it whilst pulling it out of my belt case and it hangs-up the incoming call. Grrrrrr
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
