Calls being dismissed by lock screen.

Hello,
Loving my desire but this problem is really annoying,
Every time I take the phone out of my pocket it's slide the phone upwards so the call is being dismissed.
Any chance I can change that?
I'm running a rooted phone.
Thanks.
I agree on this, It's quite annoying.
I've seen some apps that change the lockscreen, but most of them consume memory and/or a lot of battery power. A free app would be preferred.
why isnt your screen off? when you go to put the desire in your pocket press the power button on the device quickly and it will turn your screen off and also lock it, there is no need to have the screen on whilst in your pocket is there? this is also power saving on your phone, hitting the power button again will then switch it to the lock screen once you have taken it out of your pocket.

[Q] [Request] Propper Alternative Unlock App

Hey guys,
I have a HTC Desire HD. To turn the screen on and off, i always have to use the power button.
Thats on the top, and its getting annoying seeing i have a phone case with soft rubber, and pressing it isn't easy.
Im also using the HTC Sense 3.0 Lock Screen. Apart from the cool ring, it shows the incoming messages
There are 2 apps i am aware of on the market, each with pro's and conns
One called AnyUnlock
- This lets you use the Volume key to unlock, but it also disables the pattern unlock.
Tap tap app
- This lets you stroke over you proximity sensor twice to unlock, but it drains power with the sensor on all the time. But this program still enables the pattern unlock.
I would like one that you can just use the volume key, but also makes you use the pattern.
Thankyou
Michael.

I use a widget from SwitchPro to lock the screen, it sits in top right corner and turns the screen off as if you pressed the power button.
As it mimics the power button it allows you to use the patterns and lock screen as normal.
While it doesn't solve your problem completely it does cut the power button presses down by half.
Im also on 3.0 LS and I havnt had any issues using the widget and the LS together.
How do I get widgets from anywhere else then HTC?

[Q] Can you only use the power button to unlock the screen?

Can anyone unlock the phone using home button ?
it only works with the power button for me. The home button works when the screen is on but not when , the screen is turned off the phone flashes for brief second then screen goes off, i noticed this before i downgraded and after it has always been like this, its like I am double tapping it when I am not . I get the same response if i double tap the power button
Just to be clear. Are you asking if the screen turns on and stays on after pressing the Home button while the screen is turned off?
I'm on unlocked 3.6.8 and if my screen is off, I can press the home button and the screen turns on (still have to slide to unlock or enter PIN). However, the screen does stay on for a period of time and I can sit and look at the lock screen, view the dynamic perspective on it, etc until the timer eventually shuts the screen off again.
If the sensor located below the front camera is covered up with a screen protector or anything else then you can have problems turning the phone on with the home button or the camera button.
All screen protectors with a hole for the sensor should work on the phone. Screen protectors without a hole for the sensor may or may not work. My screen protector doesn't have a hole for the sensor but I don't have a problem turning the phone on with the home button. But if I cover the sensor with my thumb I can not turn my phone on with the home button.

Issue with lockscreen!

Hello,
I am having this issue since i have updated my phone to marshmallow.
When i set "screen lock type to fingerprint" and try to unlock my phone with fingerprint i am getting this.
Enter pattern instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy
Is there any way around to always use fingerprint.
Thank you.
Do you long press the home button to turn the screen off?
It's Samsung security ..no way around it... It usual happens if.. 1~uturn off screen than turn it back on immediately..2~if your screen been off a while..it's no bug... It's part of Samsung 6.0.1 security
I don't believe that's true. The only time fingerprint asks me for an additional password/pattern is the first time after I reboot and if I turn off the screen by long pressing the home button.

Use the power button instead if you want to use fingerprint

Locking the phone

my 10 month old likes to watch a youtube video but of course ends up touching the screen or pushing the home button. Is there a way to lock the screen so its not touch sensitive and disable the home button ? thanks
