Any way to stop this.. I used the registry to stop it from waking up due to my magnetic case.. i have the notifications to make a noise and flash the led... i dont want it to come out of standby to tell me about an upcoming appt (the dismiss/snooze notice) cause i keep pocket running apps or pocket dialing my sense 2.5 front shortcuts!
ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated!

Try this: Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event: Reminders > uncheck "Display message on screen."
I hope that solves the problem!
thanks! i will try that and get back to you
UPDATE: damn... this doesnt work... for "reminders" in settings/notifications i only have flash light, play sound, and vibrate selected and the screen/phone wakes up/resumes and if it had been in my pocket or whatever i'd be calling people.. any other ideas?

Sorry about that. I just noticed myself right now that my phone woke up for a reminder.
Hmm... I don't know, but I think you should get a working screenlocker. I use TouchLockPro (now you can use your zoombar as an unlock bar). I set it up so that when the screen wakes, the phone instantly locks.
If you decide to use TouchLockPro, the settings are a little hard to understand (I followed the Settings instructions in the developer's website). If you need help with the settings, or if you want an example of my settings, feel free to PM me.
try this ..
warlock...thanks for that cab.. but it didnt work...at least not for calendar reminders.. i will test it on txt msgs as that would help as well
sumflipnol: thanks.. i guess i will have to look into screen locks.. its just annoying cause im fine with the "screen lock except for power button" behavior of winmo.. but if it could just stay asleep for the reminders (other than the sound/led/vibrate options) it'd be perfect
ill let you know if that locking program works out for me
hold down the end button
locks the screen wont but dial or open apps when the screen wakes up

I believe you're referring to the default Windows Mobile SmartLock (auto-lock). I have that on my phone, and it's not very reliable. My phone sometimes wakes up on my desk, and I notice that Sense2.5 is active (SmartLock obviously failed to auto-launch the WM screenlock). From my week-long experience with TouchLockPro, the screen locks immediately without that small lag, and it's very consistent.
There must be a way!
I'd like to ressurrect this thread to see if anyone has any further ideas.
I also prefer to just use the power-button method of putting my phone into standby rather than mess around with screen locks or anything.
I've disabled wake-up-on-SMS. But it still wakes up whenever there's a reminder for an appointment.
Surely there's a way to stop this behaviour!....
It's an open question, so far...
As many of you, I would like to disable the device wake up for reminders. Same as you, I just want the sound and / or light notification for them.
I've been searching WEB, all XDA forum and my phone registry but I haven't found anything useful for reminders, just for SMS.
The same issue has been posted in other places (for example, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=615633) but there's no final answer yet.
Definitely, lock screen is not enough, because if the device wakes up and the screen turns on, it can keep on for a long time (caused by the screen being pressed because the phone movement inside the pocket) and battery drains very fast.
Hi all,
This is probably on here somewhere but could not find it, so if i duped this issue i am sorry, but all the time when im on a call on my tilt 2, my ear must hit the notification bar and when i go to look at my phone to hang up or whatever, the notification menu thing is showing. I am ok with the notification messages when i have them just not ok with the menu opening by my ear. is there a way to disable this when im on a call or something.
I did see ways to turn of notifications, but will that disable the menu from opening?
Thanks guys,
JC
I also have this problem. Any fixes for it? Im running Stock Sprint 6.5 ROM. It's pretty annoying.

The TP 2 has a proximity sensor that should turn off the screen when it is close to your face. The screen should be blank if you bring it from your ear to look at it. Does this happen?
The screen SHOULD be unresponsive when held to the ear...
I think what happened is the phone was moved to the face too quickly before the proximity sensor can respond. I have tmo tp2 with stock wm6.5 and has the same issue.
I have used the rhodium keyboard customizer and reassigned the long hold back button to lock, so I often lock the phone before I actually put it near my ear.
Sorry for the delayed replay, what button is the long hold?
Dear all,
Is there any way to add a confirmation dialog for the number I am dialing from my Touch Pro2? I have accidentally dialed a few calls when I touch the contact quick links on my home page, and when I scroll through the call history or my contact list. I notice that this is a common problem for quite a few people but I have not been able to find a solution. Note that I am NOT asking for screening locking.
Thank you very much.
Welcome to forums
I have never made an accidental call...
You can always block your device
This is not about blocking. I have S2U2 installed and there is no pocket dialing or anything like that. What I am talking about is that when I look through my call history, scroll through my contact list or quick contact links, my finger action may not be a perfect scroll action to the phone so it start dialing right away.
I am new to the forum and can not post links here but if you google "touch pro2 dial confirmation", or "touch pro2 accidental dialing", this is a common problem, at least to new touchphone users.
I'm not a new touchphone user, and I completely know/agree with what you are talking about.
thank god. I thought it was me. For the first two weeks of owning this phone I actually would tell people who called me or that I called "I just bought a brand new phone so if you get a phone call from me and I do not leave a voice mail, it it because I dailed you by accident, sorry". Pretty embarressing especially for a business phone.
It is my first touch phone, but still .....
When you are on phone, do not try to scroll through recent call, especially with the keyboard up. And do not try to do it one handed, where you use your thumb to scroll. It doesn't work for me. My thumb is terrible at scrolling.
I then I don't realize that I am already on the phone screen and press the phone button.
Really cannot figure out all the ways I accidentally call someone. And it has mostly stopped. But still ....
I can usually press "End Call" before it starts ringing on the other end. But I agree that since the scroll gesture, and pressing to select/call are almost the same gesture, there should be a confirmation screen. Or they should make a scroll bar on the side (but that might clutter things up).
I have the same problem, and the end call button is to slow to stop the call. Calling happens so fast that even if I press the end call button immediately it rings at least once.
I've had touch phones for years.... This is just something you get used to. It will happen regardless of whether you are using an Iphone, Windows Phone etc etc.
You just have to be carefull I suppose, no other way around it. You would get very tired of having to confirm EVERY call you make I would think. I dont get any "accidental" calls any more. I havnt for years actually. It's just a matter of training your gestures I would think. When scrolling dont push your finger on a contact and hold it there but start at the bottom or top of the screen and start swiping your finger down (or up) before your finger touches the screen. The only time you get a "accidental" press would be if you start by pressing your finger down and leaving it there a second or ending with your finger on a contact for a second or so.
I'm somehow able to leave my finger on a contact and swipe up or down and it doesnt select the contact untill I actually hold my finger there so. It must just be a way you guys are doing whatever it is you are doing.
That's my two cents though!
I guess people get over this problem sooner or later so xda-developers, who are certainly experienced users of touch phones, do not feel a need to add such a confirmation box.
Anyway, confirmation box is not the only way to prevent accidental dialing. For example, if pressing end-call in 2 seconds actually stops dialing, I do not mind waiting 2 extra seconds for each call. Right now, even immediate end-call cannot stop a call.

I just noticed something, in Advanced Config, under "Phone", there is an item "End Call Delay". Its set to 3 seconds by default, which seems like a long time to delay ending the call. I've just changed it to 1 second, and going to see how that works out.
Advanced Config is here, if you don't already have it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
I must have had at least 50 accidental calls in the last month. Everytime I scroll through my recent history it somehow takes it like I clicked on a number to call...
can somebody please make a fix where I can click YES OR NO right before I make a call.. or maybe a 5 second timer with a cancel button before a call..
thanks a lot!!
btw.
i had an android and i used to use google voice so it would prevent accidently calling someone
google voice app for android has a message that pops up when you make a call that asks which number to use for the call (google voice, or phone)
something like that would work nice
Another thing that might be worth considering is tweaking the amount of pressure required with a touch to simulate a click. If you can find a sweet spot where you're able to select an item when you need to, and scrolling is still possible, could be worth a look. I think I've seen reg entries or tweaking programs that cover this, though it is possible they were for different HTC models, and perhaps ours doesn't register varying amounts of pressure? In which case, is it possible to alter how long you need to press on an item before a click is registered?
Not an answer re. wanting call confirmation, I realise, but something to consider, possibly.
I have the same issue with accidentally dialing numbers. Android has an app, think it's called "Confirm Call". A similar Windows Mobile app would be appreciated and used by many.
The trick is, to apply even pressure to the screen when scrolling up or down. Try not to let your finger press and release to quickly.
When somebody calling me and I pick up, I can make conversation but phone is stuck on ringing mode, and after few moments hang up phone call, and I have missed call...
Somebody else have this problem? How can I fix this?
I dont have this problem.

That's weird, I did never face this issue but my A2L is relatively new (1 week only).
I'll try to phone to my own A2L using different devices to see if I face this issue.

Yes, it is very weird and annoying. Not happens every time, but sometimes... ?
This happened to me yesterday for the first time, but I thought that was a problem of the person that was calling me.
It was a number I didn't have in my contacts, and after the bug I immediately called back that number, but it was not available.
I thought the person that was calling me had a very low battery charge and while calling me his phone turned off, causing the bug (because immediately after the bug it was unavailable).
To this date I still did not have this problem.
Me too, i cant answer and reject calls when i upgrade to android pie
Solved: Screen not turning on with incoming calls
Step 1: Go to Dialer or Phone app settings. To do so, you can either go to main settings, then open ‘Apps’, and then scroll down to Dialer or Phone App.
You can also access App Info page by long pressing the app icon, and then tapping the App info option or the small ‘i’ icon in the corner.
Step 2: Now select “App notifications” option and turn it "on"
Step 3: Now if App notifications are turned off, your display won’t wake up when someone calls you. Also if only the “Incoming calls” permission is off, your screen will not light up with incoming calls. Make sure required permissions are turned on and your issue will be fixed.
Xiaomi Mi 2 Lite. I cannot get incoming calls to show on my screen, so I can't answer. Tried switching notifications off and on again, tried forcing stop. Two days ago I did a factory reset and was OK for 2 days. I think this is since latest Android update about a 10 days ago.
Call answer bug
I have similar issue on Mi A1, been going for a while. Sometimes, call comes in, the answer key cannot pick and cannot reject the call. This happened after a certain update I just dont know which. I have noticed that this mostly happens at some particular GSM antennas, sometimes, just by moving away from that antenna (that's when in a car) solves the problem. But as long as I remained in that location at that time, i cannot pick or reject calls, I also can't make calls, I get the promt, network problem, even though the service bars r showing. And in some cases the people calling will tell me, that calls to me are not going through.
This is driving me nuts. When I get a phone call I get a bar at the top of the screen with two buttone, one saying Decline and the other sayng Answer. I can tap on it like a demented woodpecker, but nothing happens. If Itry to swipe it, the two buttons just disappear into a void and the phone keeps ringing with no way to answer. Very, very occasionally I get the normal notification that I can swipe to answer, but I have to phone nearly everybody back.

Clear data and cache of the "phone" App and if necessary reinstall the application
I have recently bought A50 in India, for very few hours it is quite a wonderful experience but after a few updates, it has become very annoying. I am using pin lock and FP as my security option along Always on Display.
whenever i am trying to unlock the cell, Slide to Unlock option automatically comes up with annoying advertisements. max time it comes once i pick the phone, i have to slide to get fingerprint option or post FP it comes automatically and many times it leads to open up playstore due to touch on the ad.
Is there any option to shut it off? i have tried thru no secutiry setting and all but it keep exists.
Thanks very much
Im not sure what you're talking about but I'm guessing is it lockscreen stories?? If yes you can turn it off from here
You cannot turn it off but set a new wallpaper and then
I also do not have any idea from where these coming, this is very annoying.
i am attaching the two scsht of lock screen and settings. by the way, while taking scsht it comes with an extension name as daily fit.
i am thinking it is something related to One UI.
Update:
Issue identified and solved. This is not related to One UI or updates. there is an app "Daily Fit" which automatically got downloaded via Galaxy App. while taking the screenshot, i found "DailyFit" is mentioned as like "Settings". have uninstalled the app and it is working properly without "Slide to Unlock" screen with annoying ads.
Thanks very much for your quick replies
