Awesome.

Its the tool that im waiting to my diamond, i dont like the other aplications with 10000 functions.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Hmm, weird! Does the HTC Touch Diamond, Telus version, have different hardware or something? What exactly does not work? Do you both get a message "Failed initialization", or can you toggle the application on and off by means of the shortcut in the start menu?

Nope. The installation CAB file places a shortcut in the \Windows\Startup directory, so it will be started after each soft reset. However, it will not start directly after installation, that is the only time you have to start it manually.

Icons is indeed a nice suggestion, but low priority ;) Making it more efficient (v0.2 coming soon) with support for setting the device to the same state if the call was not answered (v0.3 probably) has higher priority.

Silencing the call is possible by pressing the volume down key hard key, or flipping it face down if you have the HTC default dailer enabled. Rejecting with SMS is unfortunately unsupported.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Arkadash:
Is it possible to do that this application make TD to sleep mode Immediately in case the call was rejected or not answered ? If TD in the pocket, there is probability of the tapping screen while TD not go to sleep mode (it's 40 second for me)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Working on that, expect it soon :)

v0.2 released, which is a little more efficient by using less thread functions.

It did not work for me either. I installed the most current version 0.51 on my Touch Pro (Sprint w/ OEM ROM) and I was still able to answer calls by touching the screen. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

E-mail wakes up phone

Touch diamond was in its case. Received an e-mail. Then my sister called to ask why I called her. I didn't! (at least I though I didn't). I think the incoming e-mail woke up the phone and 2 accidental presses of the hardware button brought up the call history and redialed the last number dialed...my sister. Any suggestions?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
You must look for a locking program which also makes it possible to lock the hardware keys. Here you find other possibilities......

My device is Touch HD.

Your best programm lock screen and hardware key.

Please make options "lock only hardware keys" and "lock only screen".

PS sorry my english is poor :(.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Cactus World:
ISSUE: When setting LockOnlyFromStandby = 1 (only lock when the phone was off) and switching the phone to standby using the power key (pressed shortly), the incoming call does not lock touch panel. When changing the setting to 0 it works, but of course locks the panel also when the phone is switched on..

Can you help?

CU,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Truly weird, as if another program is preventing your diamond from going to sleep. What other programs do you have installed Cactus World?

For now I cannot develop any further, since I keep having trouble with my diamond. Yesterday I got it back from repairs.. Broken of course. I'm quite fed up with this, but dependant on others to get it replaced.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Cactus World:
Sorry to hear about the trouble you're having getting your Diamond repaired. I have a couple of programs installed but running besides the standard ones is only MSVC.

I'll try it out with MSVC disabled though to be sure it is not the culprit.

Massive energy consumption issue!

I installed this program, but it didn't work like it was suppose to work. I can still answer calls on the touch screen so this didn't work for me. Furthermore it consumes massive amounts of battery power. I left my phone fully charged before I went to sleep, woke up the next morning and had only 16% left! This happened 3 nights in a row. I also noticed that this program uses memory, prior to installation with no apps running memory consumption was 30% with this app installed memory consumption was 47%. I tried the tweaks you mentioned but this didn't help to solve the massive energy consumption. With the device on I could almost see my power going down 1% after the other, without it my device energy consumption is stable.

I think you have to look at this program more carefully and see why it demands so much power, it is truely ridiculous! And also the memory consumption can be better...... I won't be installing this program again until these issues have been solved.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] braka:
For Telus Diamond users... I know that you all suffer for this stupid feature that unlocks the screen when there's a incoming call. Just to let you know, I've tried all the app already on the web. Answerkeys Disabler, S2U2 , Sensorlock, ThrottleLocker, name it! I searched and searched for a REAL good app.

The one that works really well is unfortunately PocketShield (unfortunately because it's around 16$ app) * It worth it if you're really pissed off

http://www.pocketshield.net/demo.aspx

There's a couple of bugs left but it do the job very well, don't kill the battery instead of all the free apps that can be downloaded around the web. Also TAKES NOTES that the bugs that left are not that bad. The app stays really useful.

Hope this will help.

Hi

Does it work on non HTC devices?

UPDATE:

Hm.. definitely not :P especially not one the ones with QVGA screens ^^

Please tell me - how to uninstall this damned thing? ^^ When i try to uninstall from settings>uninstall it starts to uninstall and hangs my hpone up :(((
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
You could remove the shortcut to the program from \Windows\StartUp , and then soft reset your phone. Then the program will not start anymore, and you can try uninstalling again.

Hello,

AnswerkeysDisabler does not work on the HD, because it blocks the entire screen, including stall and hang up keys: Impossible to answer unless one has a headset.

Help me! :mad::mad:

Hello drvdijk,

Disable Answerkeys works perfectly well on the HTC HD.

When a call comes in while the screen is locked, including the 4 buttons on the bottom.

Leaving the stilet unlock the screen. I had not found this function the first time.

I also found how to change certain parameters.

Could you add a parameter to allow the 4 buttons at the bottom active, never lock?

Thank you and best regards

Goninph

Bonjour drvdijk,

Answerkeys Disabler fonctionne parfaitement bien sur le HTC HD.

Lors d'un appel entrant, tout l'écran est verrouillé y compris les 4 touches du bas.

En sortant le stilet l'écran se déverrouille. Je n'avais pas trouvé cette fonction la première fois.

J'ai également trouvé comment modifier certains paramètres.

Pourriez vous ajouter un paramètre, afin de laisser les 4 boutons du bas actifs, de ne jamais les verrouiller?

This is a program which I am looking for (Touch HD) http://xdaforums.com/images/icons/icon14.gif . Because I am frequently start call without to want and after missing call (while screen is on) I start (touch screen by chance) accidentally programs. Thank you.

Only one remark. Is it possible touch slide to end call ( not only slide to answer) in the next version?

Hello drvdijk,

I install this program, and it works not very well. When a call is incoming, I keep tapping on screen, most time the screen is locked, but at 30th second, the screen is unlocked, I can pickup/ignore the phone. The time of unlock is not very long, about only one seconds, maybe. Why this problem? Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ilinimud:
Im sorry if i missed this , i read through a lot of the thread, but couldnt read 53 pages. I have an Altell HTC Diamond, and this program does nothing. It is installed and running, but it doesnt lock the screen at all. I really want to use this, please help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Sorry I missed this whole thread for such a long time! I thought I'd get email updates once someone posted here. Apparently I didn't. Me thinking this thread just died away, while there were actually a few of you stil posting :eek:

Anyhow, I'm sorry to inform you I got rid of the my final replacement unit I got sent back after repairs. I got so fed up after another trip to the store to hand over my broken phone, I got myself a cheap-ass replacement phone. I just loved the simple workings, no need for programs such as my own AKD, I decided to sell off the brand new replacement HTC Touch Diamond unit I got back.

That also means I won't be updating the software anymore. Anyone of you willing to take over the project is more than welcome to do so. Please drop me a line on the Google Code page, and I'll see how I can add you / replace me on the project.

Cheers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] white_pawn:
Good point!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] putradbm:
yup, please perfected it, by making it sleep right after the incoming call end unanswered (miscall)...

I tried today by repeating calling my diamond 30 times in a row...it seems, sometimes, the screen did not lock, but most of it, is good...

We'll be waiting for the v.0.3..!

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fyew-jit-tiv:
Nice work.... Can i have this installed with S2U2...?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] petershg:
Thanks for this great program! However currently (at least for me) it is far from being perfect.

1. Imagine answering (or putting) a call with handsfree. Phone unlocks but it is still in the pocket. Probably you should not rely upon call state change when unlocking the screen. Only several hardware buttons (except ones located on the handsfree and maybe volume buttons) and stylus removal can lead to unlock. This will fix the problem of unlocking on unanswered call too.

2. There are several wakeup scenarios that are not calls but I'd like to see it covered too (e.g. SMS when listening to the music and screen is off. Device is in unattended power state in this case and SMS actually wakes up Diamond despite the default setting not to do so). It's possible to lock (I mean built-in WM lock) the device prior to powering it off in this case but I prefer not to do so to have volume buttons functional. Not critical but nice-to-have feature.

3. I think there are people who want to contribute to this program (including myself). And since the program contains GPL code (SensorLock) you have to send source code on request. It'd be nice to have a download link to the source code.

Thanks again!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] imranbashir_uk:
Excellent idea, rather than trying to partially unlock the screen, to keep full functionality, just unlock the screen if the stylus is removed or another button is pressed (e.g. centre button).

That way someone can reject with sms if needed!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] logger:
A little confused here...

Can someone clearly and concisely describe exactly what this program does?

I can read the first post,

"..locks the touch panel once a call is incoming while keeping the hardware buttons unlocked. Answering is only possible by the hardware buttons.."

Is the "touch panel" the entire screen or just the answer button?

It locks "...once a call is incoming.." but when does it lock until?

No doubt this utility is brilliant like everyone is saying, but can someone just tell me in a nutshell what it does?

At the moment I think it is a utility to prevent you inadvertently answering a call unintentionally. Whereas, Sensor lock is a utility that you can use to Lock/Unlock your diamond when you so chose.

I am not trying to be critical here - I am just trying to get my mind around what this app does. Thnx.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Arkadash:
logger,

This app lock the screen in case the incoming ring untill you push the answer button. So you do not reject a call accidentally by getting out your TD from pocket.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bsoftco:
Great app!!!! Mine works fine with S2U2, on belite 0.99 ROM.

Thank you! :)

Maybe, you can add an application icon to your app.. it would be nicer! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] logger:
Thanks Arkadash, now I think I understand....

So Answerkeys is a utilty that locks/disables the onscreen REJECT/IGNORE button when the phone is ringing.

Nothing more - nothing less. Is that corect? Again no criticism. Just clarifying.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tyler08:
correct...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Heppieboeddah:
Correct. And you can answer or dismiss the call by pressing the hardware buttons that are on youre diamond..:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] phouki:
Thanks for the nice app, but is there any way for bluetooth headset support? After the phone has been answered with a bluetooth headset, the app seems to be disabled. Any fix for this?

EDIT: Using v0.2 btw

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] aussieak:
I have testing this program on the Pro. I can get it to work on the 1st call which is great. Any other call and it stops working. Is there a delay between calls before it's kicks in again
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] koppee1:
in relation to this, someone else posted this regarding this program:

"I've tested Answerkeys Disabler for a day and I don't think it's a "no doubt winner".

First of all, sometimes it simply doesn't lock the screen (occurred twice in a day).

And it doesn't work with Bluetooth headset/Car hands-free by design.

I'm looking for a program which behaves as described below:

- when phone wakes up from sleep or unattended mode (e.g. playing MP3 with screen turned off) for whatever reason the screen should be locked unless waked up on selected* hardware button

- when locked: pressing the selected* hardware button unlocks the screen

*all the hardware buttons except handsfree and volume ones. You can treat stylus removal sensor as hardware button too.

This will prevent any undesired screen tap (incoming SMS, alarm/calendar event, hadsfree talking while phone is in the pocket etc.):
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ihatethis:
sorry to say, but it is not working absolutely reliable. Most of the time the app is locking on incoming calls, but sometimes it does not! Don't know how to reproduce the bug, happens randomly.. :(

Thanks anyway!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BerlinTop:
...same here
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] simcarloc:
Nice effort. But again I must ask, why would anyone bother with this piece of software? You have a wonderful touch screen and actually WANT to disable it to only use the hard-buttons to answer and rejects calls - it seems regressive. Plus, it looks clumsy as you will still see the 'answer' & 'reject' buttons on the screen anyway.

Software like S2U however, takes us in the right direction in my opinion. It prevents unwanted screen presses, has a very cool slide to unlock/answer method which feels instinctive, is very simple to use and works reliably (current release) - no battery drain, never fails to lock my phone and works smoothly.

I really do not get the fuss over this hard-buttons only craze, perhaps someone can enlighten me here? No offence to the creator of this software, it's still a solution of sorts I guess...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BerlinTop:
The "right direction" is what people are asking for. If you do not experience situations where this feature would come handy - be glad, and live happily without it. It's absolutely voluntary to install it...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] simcarloc:
I do experience the involuntary pressing of on-screen buttons problem. My point is that a good piece of software already exists to tackle the problem...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
1. Yeah, calling with bluetooth headsets probably indeed is a problem. The program unlocks, while it still might be in your pocket. However, this is the behavior of the phone not running Answerkeys Disabler too right? I don't (yet) know how to catch hardware key presses in the program, this could indeed be a solution in combination with monitoring power status of the phone just before the call. Hmm, let me think on this one :)

2. Yeah, we could device all sorts of options for the program. However, that is not my intention with this program, I wrote it just to fix the incoming call answering problem. I definately don't want a configuration screen, the program should remain as simple as possible. These extra features might be incorporated in another program using the same technologies.

3. I'd like others to contribute to this software. I'm not an experienced WM developer, so extra involvement of others could indeed be handy. However, to prevent tuns of versions of my simple program popping up everywhere, I chose not to include the source code just yet. I first want to finish the power switching thing, and create a version which workes for me (after all, I create this software for a personal need). After that, I will release the source code (which might not be GPL licenced but possibly CC-licenced or something) for everybody to play with.

I'm also experiencing problems with accidental presses of the buttons. It's because the HTC TD dialer actually enables the touch screen power, while my program explicitly disables it. The v0.2 version seems to have more problems with accidental button presses compared with v0.1. I'm investigating, and contemplating on other solutions (a window on top of the two answer and deny buttons possibly, instead of disabling the touch panel).

Too much talk. S2U used too much battery. And battery on htc diamond is so great. That I dont have any juice left for S2U
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Heppieboeddah:
Any change to provide us with a version 0.1 with the 'a'? :p

This version is nothing wrong with. So dont overdo it. See also my reaction in the sensorlock-topic.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] htcenrico:
problems

1-The software does not ALWAYS keep lock the screen when income call.

Sensorlock does.Please check it...

2-Battery drain in my opinion is grater than using sensorlock.

Maybe you use too much cpu.

Anyway good improvement.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] simcarloc:
I'm sorry guys, but we must be talking about different software. S2U has a negligable effect on my battery and it has not faultered once yet. Even if it did slip up and fail to lock the screen,i'd still use it over something that allows unlock via hard-keys only...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Using less thread functions, which should use less battery (slightly). However, I notice picking up more calls with the touch screen unfortunately :( Looking into this. Furthermore, no changes :)

How do you measure the battery drain? It should not use more then sensorlock.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Heppieboeddah:
btw

Btw? Did you read my reaction concerning bleutooth headsets and incoming calls?

I installed the program and it worked perfectly but now I have restarted the phone a couple of times andn now it doesnt work...I have tried to enable it but it just ask if I want to disable it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] StarMonkee:
I used s2u2 for ages on my old tytn and loved it.

When I tried it on my diamond though, the HTC call alert screen and it seemed to conflict and flick between each other - plus I prefer the standard call alert screen on the diamond.

This leads to the problem which is solved by this app. In the HTC leather case in my pocket, I wouldn't even notice the phone ring because it would get accidently answered/cut off in my pocket. At first this didnt seem to happen, but recently it seems that every incoming call gets accidently answered in my pocket before I even notice it's ringing.

The default WM lock doesn't make a difference, because the HTC dialler automatically unlocks it when a call comes in. This software is great because it completely sorts out that problem.

A perfect solution in my opinion would be a way to use the light sensor. When the sensor detects that it's dark (ie in a pocket) and a call comes in, the screen would be locked. If the light sensor detects enough light, then it's safe to assume that the phone isn't in my pocket.

I'm using 0.2 at the moment, and have noticed that occasionally it doesn't seem to work properly - the touch screen is still active when a call is coming in.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] athanaso77:
I agree with that proposal!!! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] simcarloc:
Have you tried the new version of S2U2? I don't get this screen flicker issue at all mate.

Anyway, I agree with some kind of incorporation of the light sensor, it could also be used to temporarily lock the phone when speaking so you don't open up apps when your ear presses against the screen. Interesting possibilities there...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
not bad idea
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] StarMonkee:
I haven't tried the latest s2u2, I'll have to give it a go. I did like it on my tytn, especially for when things like appointments turn the device on and leave it unlocked for accidental screen presses.

At the moment though, this app seems to fix the only major problem I've had since I got my diamond :D
