AT&T 8525 Issues!

HTC-Hermes (8525 Issues)

Hello Everyone,

I'm hoping you may know the answers to a few other problems I'm having.

I would like to be able to turn the PHONE off while still using the PDA. It was possible with my Treo 700wx that I traded for this. I can't find how to do that.

2. Like on my Treo 700wx, I would like to be able to have the touchscreen to be disabled while I'm on a call. My face keeps cutting people off. Can't find out how to do that either.

I would appreciate any help you can give me. I'm pretty discouraged right now with this phone as I was told that it was an upgrade from my Treo. And to think that I'm planning on getting the Tilt when it comes out.

Hope you can help.

Thanks so much,

Decarius

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess some things on my Treo were super easy compared to this device. I'm still trying to decide whether to:

1. Go back to AT&T and get the Treo 750...
2. Keep this one because some people say it's a better device...
3. Switch to the 8925 when it comes out October 3rd (so I've heard)...

When the new one comes out, I'll still be within my 30 day no hassel return window with AT&T. So, I can get the new PPC with no extra cost. But I'm trying to get used to it. It just seems that the Treo has so much more usability.

Would anyone be interested in helping me with pros and cons as to what I should do? I really need help with this. I KNOW the new 8925 will have more memory I'm told, but that'a about all I know.

So, what do you guys and gals think I should do?

for the second problem use the app attached it is device lock you can set it to a hardbutton so when u are in a call just hit the button and it locks ur screen then hit that button and then hang up when done.

just touch at the signal meter and it will bring you to comm manager and then touch the phone to cut it off....
