It's happened to me once a day
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NoBody20013:
hi

today i got a call while calling with someone else and could not answer the second call with changing the calls (parking the first one) because i could not use the hard or software button to answer the call... why?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tuem:
this problem has already been discussed, but apparently the light sensor is not sensitive enough for such a feat. and as i found out, iphone achieves the aforementioned by using a proximity sensor, not light sensor (as i also previously thought)...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fdecausans:
Had the same problem using 0.31
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] timebandi:
Thanks for this application. Works great for my use ;)

The only thing I miss/want is that after a call has ended the screen should go to "home" screen before the screen goes blank.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] arvidh:
The software worked great while i was using swift's 6.5 rom.... I switched over to Dutty's 2.1 and the screen doesnt go off after a call anymore.... anyone else experiencing this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TRiKi®:
I have a quite similar issue: sometimes i can´t answer a call. The screen goes on when a call is coming but all HW and SW buttons are locked. What i have to do to answer in those cases is to turn off the screen with HW on/off button, then turn it on again and finally i can answer the call :confused:

This issue is absolutely aleatory

I´m running 0.41 version.

PS: Very nice app!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Unfortunately it is very difficult to recognize the difference between placing a call through a BT headset (using any software) or through the device itself (again using any software).

You all seem to be having problems with one of two problems. The first I suspect to be the way you set your windows locking keys (Settings > System > Key Lock). I use the "Lock all buttons except Power button" setting, and don't use any other locking mechanism. The second problem can be the way Answerkeys Disabler actually turns the screen off. It simulates pressing the power key button. This bypasses the first mentioned locking techniques as far as I know.

Of course these problems shouldn't exist and are definitely not your fault whatsoever. I'm just trying to find a common source of all these problems :)

Right now I'm looking at the various ways one can lock the device (again I never touched these settings as the default settings work for me), and what a good solution for this might be.

For a future version I'm working on putting various settings in the registry, such as enabling or disabling wake-up by stylus, enabling or disabling the screen turn-off altogether, etc. I know some of you opposed to putting this in the registry, but I recon having it configurable at least somewhere is better anyway. I'm choosing for the registry because that is a nice place to store settings for a program in my opinion :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
I changed screen turn-off behavior between v0.3.1 and v0.4+. Since then it simulates the power button instead of only turning the LCD off. Disadvantage of only turning off the LCD was that the hardware buttons were not locked, i.e. you could press green and the device would wake up again...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] koppee1:
I've finally got my TP and am trying out your software. My test have worked well so far, let's see how it fares in the real world...(tomorrow)...awesome program btw!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] krheinwald:
So do I.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NoBody20013:
Hi,

this IS the problem i think?!?! because the programm locks ALL buttons- this means the HARDware buttons for answering or decine a call are also locked. But then you can NOT answer a second call because of the lock of the HARDware Buttons. i think because of this case the old version (only turning screen off) is very very better. I think there is no problem with touching the hardware keys unfortunately!?!?

i will try the 3.1 version. and ask a friend to call me with a second call when i have a call and figure this out.

How to deinstall your software?

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Links adjusted, uploaded all versions I still had (some rebuilt) to Google. Thanks for noticing this! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Answerkeys Disabler never calls a method that disables the hardware keys. If and only if the 'TouchPanelPowerHandler' method in the touch panel driver (touch.dll) disables the hardware buttons, this is possible. In my case, it simply doesn't.

Please try v0.3.1 indeed, see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, it probably is the simulation of pressing the power-off button instead of turning the screen of using another method.

All versions can be uninstalled from the settings menu. However, for versions below 0.4 it is required to stop the program (by clicking the Answerkeys Disabler shortcut in the start menu until it asks if it should be disabled (answer Yes there)) before uninstalling.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
I just tried forwarding a cellular phone to my Touch Diamond phone number, and calling that other cellular through Skype. It blocked, i.e. it did not receive other TAPI messages then normal.

PS: Check your private message :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NoBody20013:
hmm, i have a strange behaviour:

i deinstalled 4.1 and installed 3.1. But when a call comes (device screen off) i cant use the touchscreen red button BUT the touchscreen green button works... i dont know why.. tried reinstalling....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] angler:
When the program is enabled, both the green and red button in the touch screen should not be worked. The call can be picked up or rejected only by the hardware key. This is what the program for and what most Diamond user ask for.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NoBody20013:
yes .. thank you angler - i know. that was not the point .... reading more than the last post might help sometimes...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Is this behavior reproducible? Is it always not locking the green key?

Answerkeys Disabler cuts power to the whole touch screen, in all versions. It's not possible that half of the screen works, unless possibly another program is intervening with cutting power to the touch panel.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NoBody20013:
hi.

yes its always. i think it has to do something with downgrading from 4.0 or 4.1 to 3.1 - the first time i forgot to disable the programm by my self... :mad:

but reinstalling 4.1 and disabling by my self and deinstalling and the reinstalling 3.1 doesnt help too. where can i find all settings from 4.1? and 3.1? i will try to delete the settings (if some are still there by my self manualy)

thanks for your help!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
There are no settings yet. It's on a todo list for the next version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] boltun:
did not work for me

i have an original rom, this install did not work for me
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] benko286:
nice!!!!

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
If you ran the CAB, and do a soft reset, Answerkeys Disabler will be running. Known bug which is resolved in the next version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Hiasl:
hi drvdijk,

I got the exact same problem as m3cti. If someone calls my homezone number, screen doesn't lock, if mobile number is called, everything's fine.

Just wanted you to know, that he's not the only one:-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Great! Then I'll send you a PM as well :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NoBody20013:
hi,

i have a homezone too! :D yesterday night i called me on my homezone... maybe thats why the green button is not locking?

-the others with homezone: please try if your red button is locked only...

do i get a PM too? :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] koppee1:
sorry...but what is a "homezone"?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NoBody20013:
homezone is a "festnetznummer" in german- this means a land line connection number- so the people who are calling you can use a cheaper land line number and not a mobile phone number....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jodeltje:
could this also work when a key is pressed on a bluetooth headset?

I'm constantly pressing stuff in my pocket when my BT headset unlocks it while in my pocket...

could that be inplemented or something? or does anybody have the same problem and knows how to fix it... I had slide2unlock but that had a lot of bugs and this is a much cleaner fix (especially if it would work on both problems).

thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NoBody20013:
hi,

i got it to work on my diamond. BUT not on my Homezone. When i get a call to my Mobile number everything is ok. but if i get a call to my Homezone number its not working...

what to do please?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MiToNiOeS:
Hi, thanks very much, this app is fantastic!!

i hava a problem, when someone call me and the call end very fast (Missed call), the diamond continue vibrating until soft reset (i press all hardware buttons and dont stop vibration)

thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Yes I will send you a PM too, then :)

Basically all users with homezone (landline provided by some telcos that forwards to your mobile, reducing the cost to the caller) seem to have locking problems. I'm testing a version that might work. The link is in the PM, since it's not an official release :)

Testing.. Is this reproducable at all times? I might have to delay the unlocking sequence a couple of seconds after call ending.. It still is weird since I don't use vibration at all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jamesbond_28_007:
I have tried all 3 lock apps on my Diamond Touch Pro and none work properly. Can I be that unlucky?

1) S2U2. Freezes. It's so obvious it actually displays the old time it froze at!

2) Sensorlock. That really does have a mind of it's own. You have a call come in and you're frantically rotating it and it wont always unlock.

3) Answerkeys Disabler. The biggest disappointment as I had read great things. This doesnt work AT ALL! It seems a simple app to install and enable yet it does not freeze the screen EVER!

Any ideas anyone? Is there another app out there I can try :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
You can try StylusLock:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BerlinTop:
It will freeze, but only, when your phone is locked (switched off) before the call comes in. It's made that way.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jamesbond_28_007:
When you say "switched off" you mean sleep (what you get when you depress the power button?).

I could live with that. But when I bring it out of sleep the clock does update but the slide wont slide!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BerlinTop:
Yes, that's what I mean. Maybe you read the description of the functions and versions at the very beginning of this thread to understand how the software works. That helps in most cases.

What slide are you talking about? That should not be related to AnswerkeyDisabler...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jamesbond_28_007:
I thought you were talking about S2U2.

Didnt realise the phone had to be in sleep mode first. Works a treat and thanks for the help.

Great app - especially now I know how it works!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Maybe I should write a manual :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BerlinTop:
Maybe :-) But that would also involve READING it on part of the users...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fireblade63:
@drvdijk,

Great application man, life savior really..

Used all of your releases and found 0.4.1 to be the best suit for me.

I still have an issue with it though all the annoying bugs were fixed (mainly for me was locking some calls and not the rest)..

I use GPS too much as I live in a foreign country and whenever I receive a call, the screen turns off making me loosethe gps signal as discussed before.

Tried installing nosleep cab and disallowed sleep during call and everything.

I know if I draw the stylus out would help but not convienient while driving.

So, if it's possible to create a release that has all the fixes and nothing to do with screen turning off would be the best suit for gps users on holder (mounts) in cars.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BlockbusterF:
Hi,

I would also prefer a version wich has nothing to do with the screen turning off functions. Just all the fixes without screen function, that would be nice.

Thanks, Fred
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
then get an older version
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] neoTheone:
Sorry to say, but I'm also suffering from the "Homezone" Bug. Anyway, thanks for your work!! regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
About Homezone: Aparrantly calls coming in through that homezone number don't trigger the "new call coming in" TAPI message my program listens for. I don't know how to solve it yet, since I don't have a Homezone number/card. Anyone care to lend me a SIM or something to test it?

About the requests not to turn it off: I'm still favoring a release which has a couple of settings in the registry the user can change. If I now only find the time to create such a thing ...

Cheers :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BlockbusterF:
Hi drvdijk,

a version with reg keys to change would be the best solution for all, of course :)

I'll sit and wait for it *g*

And by the way: Thank you for this great app :D

Can you help me?

I have a problem with this software, when it's actived i don't write with transcriber.

A solution...

Important: Sorry for my language, i don't speak english very well :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hitenpatel227:
I have installed the latest version (and the one previous to that before) but find on several occasions when a call comes the answer call button it also disabled. In the end the call is missed and where I work there are 4 HTC Touch Diamonds each with this issue.

Can this be resolved?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tigrowski:
The app looks great, but it doesn't work on my Diamond. I'm using custom ROM. I've installed this application, soft reset the phone, but the soft answerkeys still work. I tried to run the programme manually, but every time i tap it in the "Programs" menu, it says that it's enabled. Even if I try to turn it off, it still remains enabled. Why is that so? The app is in the autostart, says that is enabled - so why the on-screen buttons still work?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] claxx:
I have the same problem and I use 1.93.413.3 SVE rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
today I had a problem with the program...

I answered the ring normaly, then touching the screen although for some reason NOT disabled (*), AND hardware "red" button couldn't end the call!!!

I had to soft reset!

(*) it was not disabled since clicking the red icon seemed to "activate" the button, but with no real effect
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Wim Nagtegaal:
What does it do with an outgoing call?

Hallo,

Nice application! What does the application do when you start a call yourself, so an outgoing call? IMHO it should do nothing but it seems to switch the phone into standby when you hangup. Is there an option to change this? BTW I could not find any option anyway.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] iliescu902:
i have to admit this is a great app, although i don't use it that much cause i'm not having trouble with calls accidentally being answered or refused.

the only thing i don't like about it is that just after you end a call it goes directly into sleep mode leaving the phone window running and sometimes the dialer and other programs that i'd like to close. or maybe after a call i'd like to send a sms. i'm just saying that it's so annoying that you always have to turn it on again.

a simple menu would do the trick..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
I understand. Transcriber does not work in combination with Answerkeys Disabler. Both programs need the same system library.

Je comprends. Transcriber ne fonctionne pas en combinaison avec Answerkeys disabler. Les deux programs besoin d'avoir le même système de bibliothèque.

Which answer keys is disabled exactly? My program does not lock the hard keys. Does the call end button work in such a situation?

If you turn it off (by clicking it and answering Yes), it should be off. If you click the program icon again (once in Explorer, twice in programs such as Total Commander), it will open again without notifying the user (will incorporate a message in the next version).

Weird that it does not lock! Is your phone off before the call comes in? Do you have a CDMA phone by any chance?

If the red on-screen button does seem to respond, it means Answerkeys Disabler is working correctly. I'm afraid you're the victim of a random Windows crash ;) Hope it doesn't happen again!

As soon as the call "is made" (connected, missed, or rejected by red button) or the call "is over" (missed, rejected, or hung up), the program returns to the state directly before that specific event happened. That means it can turn off after the call is hung up, even if you placed the call yourself. This is for the bluetooth headset users.

I will not turn off, if the phone was on before the call was made or has ended! So if you're talking with the phone on speaker phone for example, while turned on, it will stay on :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Wim Nagtegaal:
What does it do with an outgoing call?

Is it possible to have some settings to fine-tune the behaviour of this application. I understand for BT users the need to switch off after the call but I normally do not use BT and then it is not handy when the phone turns off after you make a call. Can the application detect if a BT headset is used (there is an icon on the phone screen that indicate a BT headset).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
I'm currently contemplating on a way to make this a setting as well
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Lebarge:
ok thank you for this response.

Transcriber and recognition of blocks or recognition of letters need different system library? Because when Answerkeys Disabler is actived i can write with recognition of blocks or recognition of letters.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fiuner:
My Touch Pro answers when I pull out the stylus. Why is that? I thought it should just unlock the screen, so I can ignore the call for example.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
It is possible for the application to keep track of the current power state, allthough I think it might impact battery life. I'm currently still testing the battery life of this baby, which I suspect should be very low.

By the way, thank you all very much for the great responses! It's really overwhelming :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] masterbox:
Is it compatible with sensor lock or not at all ?

I mean if I already use sensor lock what will happen ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
why use both?

many people had trouble with sensorlock
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Unfortunately, they are incompatible. Answerkeys Disabler locks the phone while it might already be locked (this is compatible), but unlocks the phone once the phone isn't ringing anymore. You'd have to re-lock the phone by rotating it. Otherwise I see no reason for them not to be compatible.

In any case, running one program will not crash running the other (untested ;))
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] onesolo:
Excellent, it works for me too

Just one question,

Before I tried the S2U2 solution with no good. As anyone had any luck with S2U2 ??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sandeman684:
Instead of continuous polling for the power state, is it possible for the program to just get an event in the case of entering/exiting sleep mode? This would hardly affect battery life.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] evermick:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cluster_general:
Is it possible to use at the same time with S2U2 but using the second program only to lock screen and not as slide to answare?

If nobody didn't try it i will try soon!:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
If I read your question right, you want to lock using Answerkeys Disabler, and not use S2U2 to unlock but the hardware keys instead? I don't know if S2U2 supports that, haven't used S2U2 in ages ;)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
This is perfect!

I tried Sensorlock and SKSchema and neither worked as desired. This, however is perfect! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] alken00:
I have a query.. do I need to activate the Answerkey Disabler everytime I reboot my Diamond?

And a suggestion : A nice icon to the application will be perfect! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tigrowski:
Nah, nothing like CDMA. However, my problem is out-of-date now, cause (no guesses why), after few soft resets (2?), the app runs like it's supposed to run. That's good :D Thanks ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
They use the same system library (touch.dll). Only one of them can work at the same time. Either Answerkeys Disabler works, or Transcriber works.

Could you post your problem in French or translated with Google translate to make sure I understand you correctly?

Ils utilisent le même système de bibliothèque (touch.dll). Un seul d'entre eux peuvent travailler en même temps. Soit Answerkeys disabler travaux, ouvrages ou Transcriber.

Pourriez-vous écrire votre problème en français ou traduits avec Google pour s'assurer que je vous ai bien compris?

Answerkeys Disabler does not answer calls. Maybe the Touch Pro always answers the call when the stylus is pulled out?

Great! I love your icon by the way
