Everytime my phone gets unlocked by pressing the menu button in my pocket, is there a way to disable this?
Thanks
I would also like to know how to do this. Could this be implemented into 2.91 please paul?!!
+1 - made a lot of accidental calls in my pocket .. this forced me to activate that annoying and slow unlock pattern
Wow, things got buried fast over in the CDMA forums. We got a little extra info from digging around in our phones about this same problem. I don't think any of us have solved it yet but hopefully the info will be useful to solve it for everyone eh?

Little bump
Put the phone face down in your pants, no way of pressing the menu screen that way
also protects the screen for breaking bij any bumps or something.
Always have my hero in my pants never ever made an accidental call.

that is the only way. also with the programm lock 2.0 the screen still get on every time.
when the hero is in my pants, it's also making calls.
It's always calling my girlfriend, no matter if I lock it, or have it face down.
I came to the conclusion, that it was not the hero that was dialing numbers from my pants..
I thought this would be simple for the devs running a command that just disabled that button, but hey im not a dev, i know **** about it thanks for looking into it anyway

maybe he feels lonely?
would it be strange that it keeps calling my mom in my pants?
yah.. we need a fix for this.
All joking aside; putting in a security pattern to unlock will take away the problem, though you'd have to draw the pattern every time you want to unlock..

Only problem is you're still able to call 911 or whatever since the emergency button is vis/pushable...
I'd rather accidently call my girl instead of the ambulance lol!
Well im using the pattern now, but im bored of drawing it all the time..

What a coincidence!
When I put my Hero in my trousers it also calls your girlfriend!!
hahahahhaha nice joke YOUR PENIS called your girlfriend
Okay enough jokes about your penis having its own life and calling his friends
Anyone was able to find a solution yet?
The drag up/down (accept/deny call) is really idiotic when the phone is in a pocket, where you have to pull up the phone from the pocket when you get a call. Do anybody have any solution to this problem? are there any alternatives accepting/denying calls?
Yes, this is very frustrating for me also, haven't found a solution though!
Use Lockbot Pro from the market
You can choose from several types of locking screens, and modify them.
Word of advice: get the Pro version, it is much more stable then the free one
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
@fluor: I know a guy that use fluor as nickname...are you from norway by any chance?
Lockbot pro, is a bit lame, it only works intermittently!
I have only tried the free version, and have no intention of trying the paid one, just on the off chance that it may work correctly!!
Surely, a developer would wish to entice someone into paying for their app, by making a trial/free version that actually works!!
What's the bloody point, in making a free app that doesn't work properly, as if I would pay for this rubbish!
HTC should have designed an unlock screen that doesn't hang up your call, simply when you take it out of your pocket, I mean, is it really to much to ask, for a device that costs this much!
It's pretty basic stuff really.... I don't want an elephants ear on a bun, I just don't want to keep hanging up on people when I take my phone out of my bloody pocket!
i also hope for a free app. i see there are a lot when i search for lock, but not sure which actually work.
for the hang up problem, a workaround is to put the phone the other way when you insert it into the pocket, so it picks up instead of hanging up when you pull it up. however it's stupid.

You say Lockbot Pro is lame, but have only tried the free version??
I think you mean the developer is lame if he made an unstable free version?
All I can say is that it works perfectly for me, and I can only recommend it based on my own experience.
I had a few problems with the free version, yes...but I took the chance on the Pro version anyways...after all, what's $1.99 or whatever anyway.
And, now I have a lockscreen that works as I want it
also using lockbot pro now to get rid of the useless lock screen from sense.
but it doesnt solve this prob, as it doesnt lock on incoming calls
I have a workaround for you.
Put your desire in your pocket top first.
Then when you take it out of the pocket, if the screen is pressed, then "gesture" will be the opposite of what is needed to answer the call.
You will do a gesture up instead of down to answer the call. That is how I do it
Pattern unlock is useless too. You still get the slide to answer/reject screen before the pattern thingy comes up.
Is there a way we can solve this with a cooked rom? I'm trying to wait for the 2.2 rom to be ready, but this problem is annoying enough to flash now I think.

So now you'll accidentally reject the call instead of picking it up..?

No pulling te screen up doesn't do anything, while pulling it up answers it.
I had a htc hero for about 8 months, always had it top down face towards leg.
Use the desire in the same way and never ever had a call in my pants.
I can't believe HTC have made such an elementary mistake.
I ended up buying a flip case for the phone. Solved the problem and protects the phone and screen as well.
Similar Problem
I have a very similar problem.. Because the vibration is so weak I often do not feel the phone go off in my pocket. Due to the warmth of my leg and moving around the phone continuously picks up by itself.
Does anyone else have this problem?
This is very annoying!!!
If I could only choose to answer calls by the hard button, it would solve it.
Has anybody (rooted) tried using the stock lock screen (the horizonal swipe as opposed to vertical), could this solve your problem?

Yes. Search the forum for vanilla/rotary.
has anyone found a simple solution to this? I do put my phone in top first... but this means i am hanging up on people when i don't want to.
I want to be able to pull my phone out of my pocket and check who it is then decide what to do.
Hi there,
I hope someone can help me.
It's only dawned on me today that Slide to answer/decline has stopped working on my HTC Desire. It's crazy because it's been this way for so long that I forgot that the phone even does this.
I think it might be something I've installed that has caused this. I installed a replacement keyboard that added the speech-to-text functionality and then more recently I installed Swype Beta.
Does anyone know if there's a setting to turn it back on?
Or do I just start uninstalling my keyboard mods?
Thanks in advance,
B
Hi beautiful people
Just a little FYI: I dumped the HTC_IME mod and my slide to answer miraculously returned.
I hope this will stop me declining calls in my pocket.
Next challenge for me - stop making calls in my pocket. Never did it once with 2 years of 2 iPhones. I hope the official FroYo update helps towards that!
i just tried to find a way to disable that feature because i just rejected 2 calls... when i slide my phone out it slides the thing up and declines the call -_-
i could put the phone screen facing out but thats just scary for me.
See this is why i invested in a case
If you are on the phone and get a 2nd call on call waiting you can answer it and the phone will automatically put the first call on hold. Say you tell the 2nd caller you will call them back and then want to switch back to 1st call. If you press "End" it hangs up on both callers. If you press "Menu" there is an option to "Hang up all calls" or something similar which again does the same thing I don't want. I can't find a way to just hang up on ONE call. Is this a bug or am I just missing something?
Ok, so no one uses the phone feature of the EVO? No one has ever had a call come though on call waiting?
Can anyone just help me verify whether this problem is just my own or happens for everyone?
Press talk to switch back
You can't hang up on the held caller only

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to hang up on the held caller, but I want to hang up on the active caller. Every other HTC phone I've used in the last 5 years will hang up on the active caller and then switch you back to the held caller. Did they really mean for it to hang up on both at once? Does anyone else's phone do this?
My understanding is that this is some limitation of CDMA. All my sprint/verizon phones have had this same issue.
Every Sprint phone I've had has been this way. I think it is an issue with their network and not the phone itself. There is no way to hang up on just one of the callers.
Thanks everyone. The carrier is the problem then. I was with AT&T before this phone and never had Sprint before. Not a huge fan, but its ok.
That is really annoying because I'm constantly hanging up on my friends when my girlfriend decides to call and tell me some lame story that happened to her.

Cool, Thanks for the info guys. I thought my Evo was retarded or something.
Got the same problem here on my evo also had three problem on my hero...
Question though will it burn up minutes with both calls sitting there?
Ive had where I was done with one call and switched back to thee one that was on hold the whole time just to heat their voice mail giving me options

One of the greatest feature in HTC phones for me, was the Vibrate on connect feature. Basically the phone vibrates slightly when the person you are calling answers , if you are not holding the phone to your ear. As long as the screen is turned off the phone does not before as it "thinks" you are holding it at your ear.
Is there any way to enable something like this on the GNexus? I couldn't find an app to for this.
Maybe one of the talented devs around here are interested in doing a mod to enable this function?
Cyanogenmod has this feature. I'm unsure if it is present in cm9 as its still relatively new, but it was definitely in cm7

I cant belive that there is no option for this on GN .. (stock rom)
I need this feather too.
I would love this feature too, was using hTC D2 for a while, and I'm new to Android

I actually did give that one a try earlier today. The vibrate on call end worked for me, but the vibrate on call connect did not work at all (stock ICS). The app has several different "vibration mode settings" to try if it isn't working on your phone, but I had no luck with any of the different settings.
I emailed the developer, so hopefully they get back to me.
i'm missing this feature too!

I had this feature on the OG Droid through the KickBack, which was installed when I switched to a cyanogenmod 7 rom... KickBack says that it's deprecated/included in ICS, but I can't find a setting for this feature anywhere on my GN (4.0.4 stock rooted). I would really love to have this feature back, just so I don't have to stare at my phone until it starts actually dialing.
