Is it possible to turn off the screen but allow the phone to keep ringing out (albeit silently)? I used to be able to do this possibly on CM13, does stock HTC have this ability? I could press the power button and all it would do was turn the screen off.

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.

This is when a call comes in. When a call comes on the phone wakes from sleep mode.
I've set my phone screen to not lock when I turn the screen off using the power button. But I'm finding that pressing the volume, menu, home or any button is then turning the screen back on again, which is great except my screen timeout is set to 30 mins, and my battery gets eaten when im hitting a button by mistake in my pocket.
Is there a way of locking all buttons except the power button to turn the screen on and off? Im used to using my phone this wy in WM, and hopefully I can mimic this use with Android too.
Thank in advance
Hello,
I was listening to music n my htc hd desire, the screen was turned off at this time, tried to turn on the screen but the power button wasn't working, just the menu on the bottom of the screen was turning on, the volume buttons weren't working either, the music was continuing, so i was obliged to remove the battery, this way my phone returned to work normally, anyone know what is the reason of this?
if the power button works fine now it probably was a crash of a system that blocked waking the phone or is used to wake the phone
If power button still not working i guess the button is failing
If so i recommend widgetlocker and turn on the option that you can wake the phone with every hardware button
After that download the app called screen off so you can still turn of your screen

Hi All,
Every once in a while when I lock the phone, (press the power button to turn off the screen) the screen will go dim but not turn off. I can press the power button and it will go to the pattern unlock screen. Then when I press the power button it will switch between normal lock screen and dim lock screen. When it's dim, it has no function. When it's normal, I can unlock it and everything is fine, till I lock it again. Then it will be dim and not shut off completely.
The only way to get it to shut down after that point is to reboot.
I am rooted with CWM and have UVBMD1 in it at the moment.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Sounds like an app is causing a wakelock or something. Id uninstall any recent apps and see it it does it again.

Good thought, I'll give it a shot. I have loaded a few things in the last few days.
Thanks.
UPDATE It turned on automatically after 2 days. Freaky stuff :/

Hey everyone,
I have a HTC One V (Primo U), running Shpongle 4.2.2. It was working fine until yesterday, when I woke up after a nap and failed to turn on the phone's screen. Pressed the power button, but the screen won't wake up. Held the power button for 10 sec, phone restarted (I know this because of the vibration) but the screen remained dark. Called my cell, and it was ringing, but nothing on the screen. Now it's lying on my desk, with the notification LED blinkng (because I have missed calls).
Even the touch is working, because I tried swiping in the right area to answer a call and it worked, even though I couldn't see jack.
I held the Vol Up while restarting the phone, it went to bootloader (I'm guessing), but the screen was dark.
Is there any way I can save my cell

Did you broke the screen?
