[Q] Able to Disable Call Connect Screen Flash? - Desire General

Hi,
There's a feature on the HTC Desire and maybe other Android phones that flashes the screen when a call is connecting/connected; This for me is a nuisance, as for example, I want to give a mis-call to someone, by the time I find where the 'end call' button is they already holded it lol, as the screen constantly flashes. So...I was wondering if anyone knows how to disable this or atleast tweak it and share your tricks.
Much Appreciated.

HTC Phone Lock (Transparent)

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to get this working on our beloved HD's? I hate the way the screen goes completely black during a call, we can't use the light sensor to tell the phone that the call has finished and it is away from your ear (so screen comes back on a la iphone), and i keep doing things during a call with my ear!!
So this seems like the ideal solution - but i can't get it to work!!
I've copied over the file to the windows folder, then soft reset. Changed the registry entry for phoneLockEnable to 1 in HKLM/Software/HTC/Phone but still no joy!
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
DF

Beside this transparent canvas, where can I get the orginal canvas?
I am using a offical ROM but I don't see this function!

that's interesting, because my screen doesn't go blank during calls and it happens quite often that i accidently disconnect a call (i suppose because i hit a button with my ear).
so in search for i solution i found in Advanced config a tab Light sensor > Light sensor polling which i set enabled. the explanation says "uses light sensor to automatically turn screen off when the phone come near from your ear to answer a call". so this should set it like the i-phone does, right?
hence when i tested it, the screen still was on, even when i put my thumb onto the light-sensor.
is this because i don't have a stock rom (i use Duttys HD V1.9b XTREME) or is there something i can do about it.
it would be really nice to have the screen locked when i answer a call and to outomatically unlock it if i remove it from my head to use some function on the screen..

Hi take55,
Yes, i'm aware of the advanced config tweak (also in HD Tweak), and as you correctly state, the screen should/will go blank on call connection (i'm running kwbr's A Touch Of HD 3.3.4 and mine doesn't, even with tweak applied!!).
Unfortunately, when the call ends and you move the phone away from your ear, the screen still stays blank????? I've read somewhere on these forums that it never will work like the iphone (not sure why, as the light sensor should recognise that we've moved the phone away from our ears).
So that is why i'm trying to get this other method to work. What i have noticed is that with the bmp copied over to the windows folder or with a cab i found by A-Math installed, my dialler locks up after every call (as if the transparent phone lock is in place) but i can't actually see it. None of the screen works and i have to soft reset. Maybe something is stopping the bmp to show on the phone....who knows.
It also might be the fact that this was designed for the Diamond (found the cab on the Diamond forums).
Just hoping some genius here might now how to sort this.
I've attached the cab file i've found, give it a try and see if you have the same issue as me.

DF

It has nothing to do with the BMPs but with the registry setting that the CAB also makes. It sets HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\PhoneLockEnable to 1, in wich case you'll have to press the power button to unock (no need to soft reset). For the BMP to work the phone/dialer software will have to support it, otherwise it just locks the phone in the usual way: black screen, power button to unlock.

tks but your cab only for the canvas skin only, do not contain the original software (slidable canvas), anyway, tks for your help
I've also found this problem to be quite annoying during a phone call but have found some sort of way to deal with it.
Firstly my ROM isn't tweaked, its just the basic one already installed.
After a call is connected, the screen switches off. But if you need to access the screen again during a call, I just press the "Back Arrow" key, one of the four hard buttons on the bottom which brings the screen back up again.
If you press the phone button instead whilst the screen is off, the screen lights up again but it puts the call on hold.
This probably isn't the best way to deal with this, but it seems to work for me for the time being, hope this helps anyone else here.

Useful info - I found this particularly annoying yesterday during a ouple of calls.
Also discovered Gyrator tries to turn the phone screen and was laggy - which was even more annoying!
Everyone!!!
CHECK THIS OUT - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489034
Answer to all our prayers - a screen lock which uses the g-sensor and not the light sensor.
Now, when a call is connected, holding the phone to the ear blacks the screen, but when you bring the phone down (to use the keypad or something), THE SCREEN COMES BACK ON!!!!!!!
Tried and tested on kwbr's A Touch Of HD v3.3.4 (probably the best manila2 ROM out there!)

[Q] incoming call hybrid answer mode?

Has anyone else noticed that when you receive a call sometimes you have the option to press answer or ignore and other times you get slide up or slide down to answer or reject? Is there anyway to just have one of them? And also why isn't there an option to clear the incoming call screen? It just stays there until I pick answer or ignore.. on my g1 I would press back and it would clear and let me get back to my business. Also is there a way that I can just have the slide up or slide down to answer? The on screen keys always press when pullin the phone out of my pocket.. super annoying
the option you get is determined whether or not you phone display is on (locked or unlocked) at the time.
Oh ok.. thanks. I couldn't pinpoint it.. I guess once root is available then I can completely shut down the answer on the screen feature. Thanks again
you think there is any chance we could get phone calls non intrusively like webos

Enable Vibrate on Call Connect in HTC Desire?

Hi,
I have recently updated my desire to 1.21.405 and now cannot find anywhere function to vibrate once my call connects. I really loved this feature but Im so confused that Im not pretty sure if Desire with old ROM had it.
I have some other HTC phones and all WM based do have such function.
Im 90% positive that my Desire had it as well but it would be really strange if it was removed with new ROM.
Can anyone help me and tell definetly if HTC Desire ever had such function?
if so - how can I enable it???
When the screen is on (aka you dont have the phone near to your ear) the phone vibrates on call connect.

OMG! Yes!
Thanks. I KNEW that I had this feature at Desire .
Wondering now - is it possible to turn it on/off?
is it possible to turn it on unconditionally? to vibrate even when screen is turned off? Maybe You can recomend eg. additional program to do this?
Greetings!

[Q] VoIP Vibrations (Desire - Runnymede ROM)

Guys, does anyone knows how to turn OFF vibrations on HTC Desire?
Specially during VoIP call it vibrates every minute and that is killing my ear... I know I can use another app for VoIP, but the build-in is much better for me.
Tried to search here, on google, but no way baby :/
the best way would be to go inside the phone and throw out the vibrator... I dont like it..
any idea? somethink in ROM / kernel? or some hack ?
THX
Stupid question, but have you tried settings - call settings - vibrate every 45 seconds?
it doue not vibrate in standard call, only VoIP;

[Q] whats this when unlocking

Hi all.
Had the m8 some time now and really enjoying it however this keeps happening and its got to the point where it's a annoying me.
When I unlock the phone sometimes or even on its own it wakes up with a microphone symbol expecting me to give it a voice commands.
How do I turn this feature off
I've attached a image of what it is I'm seeing.
Thanks.
It's an option in settings under Display and Gestures. Uncheck sweep down to start voice calling. Second item in that menu.
Nice one mate hopefully that sorts it. Was beginning to annoy me a lot.
