Couple questions new to phone - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Coming from the EVO I have a couple questions.
- Is there a way to get the phone when done with a call to go to the home screen? My EVO was like this and I have searched through settings and can't find anything.
- Also I drive a lot so when I press my bluetooth button on all my past phones the phone would wake up and let me make a call without touching the screen. But when I press my bluetooth button the phone doesn't even wake up. Sometimes the vlingo app will come on and tell me how many calls I have missed, but it doesn't let me make a call through the headset.
If I reach over and press the power button then the phone turns on and the vlingo starts up. I don't care for the Vlingo but will live it until I get brave enough to root to freeze it.
But is there a setting my phone will wake up the screen when I press the call button on my headset?

Screen Lock

I know the BA has a built in Screen lock that means I have to press the power button and no other ones, to get it to turn on, but... if I have bluetooth on and it connects to my car kit, that 'wakes' the PDA and before I know it I have all kinds of applications opened cause my case is pressing keys.
I installed a Screen Lock I used on my 2210 which, when activated means I have to first press power to wake the PDA, then press key 4 and 1 to actually bring the screen back. None of the other keys will work unless I press 1 and 4 together first. This is great if I'm listening to music, I tap Screen Lock and put it in my belt case.
The problem with this is, when someone calls me, I don't seem to be able to wake it by pressing 1st and 4th keys like normal. I have to let the call go to answer machine, then I can wake the PDA...
Does anyone know of a better screen lock program that will let me take calls (or should I say, let me wake the PDA when a call comes in)?
Thanks.
No one can help with this?

Hard key for speakerphone

Does anyone know how to assign a hard key (button) to the speakerphone.
While driving, I would just like to be able to press a button instead of looking at the screen and trying to press the small screen button.

Everybody wanted to get his/her answer at once. Search Search is first part to the answer but no you still stay like this. Do read the manuals sometimes busy guys
Keep pressing Call button for few seconds it will on the speaker and same way can off it.

touchscreen deactivates with speakerphone on...permanently???

Hi Guys,
Ive noticed that sometimes when i use the speakerphone (either by pushing the on-screen button or flipping the phone over), it works fine. However, once the call is over, the touchscreen is deactivated it seems. Nothing works. Cant press anything. As for the hardware buttons, the windows button works, and the power button works. The volume, call, and end call buttons do nothing.
Not sure if this is relevant, but I only notice it if the phone was flipped over (with touchscreen down). If i used speakerphone with the phone facing up, doesnt seem to happen.
The only ways ive found to fix this are to soft reset with that little button under the cover, or to miss a call. (obviously, if a call comes in, I cant answer it as none of the ways you'd use to answer a call still work). After the call is missed though, the touchscreen comes back to life.
any ideas??
thanks
havent notice quite this.. but something similar...
when i wanna make a quick phone call
i open the keyboard type name of contact,
select the contact and hit enter to make the
phone call.. when i close the keyboard to turn
the phone to my ear, half of the screen looks
normal and have of it looks all MESSED UP...
im sure is not a hardware problem or anything.. ( well i hope so )
i think is not bcuz it only do it on that situation..
besides that my screen is normal..
bump
phone been around a while now...maybe someone else noticed this problem...
I've noticed that sometimes my phone will go into "sleep" mode like when you quickly press the power button. Maybe a quick tap of the power button to wake it up will help.

Ending call with power button?

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

[Q] phone buttons in notification bar suddenly appeared

hello!
when i get a phone call there are some phone buttons in my notifications. i don't know where they come from. i've never had them before. it is a phone button, a mute button, a speaker button and a quit button. and there is a call time counter running on and on, even if i quit the call. none of the buttons do anything when i press them. only why i am able to make them disappear is a reboot. i dont know where they come from. i installed a lot of xposed modules these days, but i cannot find any setting in the modules i played arround with about these buttons.
anyone know them? how can i disable them. i even searched in the dialer settings, but no solution.
