Using the phone against your ear...

[Flapjack]

Is this not something they considered when they made the phone? If I talk on the phone without earpiece or speakerphone (actually holding it up to my ear.... God forbid), by the time I'm off the phone there are 15 million programs opened up.

It would be pretty freaking easy to have the device lock the screen out when you're not using an earpiece or the speakerphone. For those few times you might need to tell someone to hold on and look up a contact, the could simply be programmed to wake up when you hit the center button, much in the same way it does when the screen goes dark.

Oh yeah, this happens with WM5 and WM6. Has anyone found a good solution for this?

On mine I go to Start> Settings> Keyguard and turn that off. I just found that recently, it was driving me insane too.

even with the touchscreen disabled the keyboard and all the side butons are still active and if you hit the bottom side buton it activates windows media player. Its a minor annoyance at times.

flappy, that sounds logic, I'll try it

[MinotauroTreo750]

thank you very much

I've been noticing lately, even with the touchscreen disabled in call, the freaking start menu still comes up on occasion. Not only is it maddening because I don't press the Start button, but also because pressing the Start button to get rid of it rarely works.

you may be pressing the 5way controller or the center buton with your face and cauing the screen to go active

you can disable the touch screen feautre when in a call
