Ear presses during calls...!

[shapcott]

Strange one this but I am left handed (eared) and after making a call I always find that my ear has opened lots of programs whilst talking. Is there a way to lock the display while taking a call or some other solution?

Also after uninstalling PocketInformant I now find my Calender softkey key is unmapped. I have seen references that I just need to remap it using "Advance Config" but I can't find that either.

Can someone help a halfwit..!

Thanks, Steve.

hey, I have the same problem with programs opening up with my ear. the only solution I found is to turn ur screen off while on a call (press power button) or don't press ur ear as hard to the phone

thats what i did. im still seeking a software which can automaticly lock the touch screen while on the call. :rolleyes:

The easiest way is to just push the power button on the right side of your device while you're talking, as sometimes you might want to hit the speaker phone button or use the keypad. If you use this method of pushing the power button, all you need to do is hit it again and your screen is active.

PhoneAlarm will automatically blank the screen for you when a call is connected.

i might be wrong but when i tested S2U2 a while ago i recall seeing something about an option to "blank screen" during calls... may be worth a try, its free and available here at xda =)

cheers

As in post # 6 I also recommend PhoneAlarm. Does the job really nicely for me.

Thanks for all your fast answers..!

I knew all you smart guys would know what to do...

Somehow I am able to manage to switch of my phone ...

With my ear I am entering the connection manager and than I disable the phone or enter flight mode.

I am coming from a SE P990 and here the screen is automaticaly locked during a call.

It would make defenitly sense to block the input from the touch panel during a call, but keeping the display on for basic information. On the other side I would like to have also access if I want to look for a contact information or agenda setting during a call.

There are alternative solutions like PalmarySoft Phone ScreenLock which explicitely locks the touch screen without turning it off during call.

The best is that this app. does nothing else ... no today plugins ... nothing in excess.

Simple ... yet usefull.

Does it have the functionality to unlock while you're on the call?

Say you want to look something up while on the phone....

[mbritten]

yes it does.
