Lock screen on Incoming Call??
 
Is there a way to get the screen to lock during incoming calls?

When I receive a call, I usually manage to ignore or answer the call before getting the phone out of my case due to me mistakenly hitting the screen.

Use the lock feature under program,that way you won't ignore or answer until you pull the TP out, or you can answer via bluetooth by hitting it or set it up to answer automatically after specific number of rings...:mrgreen:

I don't think that's what the OP means. This actually happened to me a few minutes ago - I had the screen locked but when it rang, I pulled it out of my pocket and the friction against the pants fabric picked up the call. (Good thing I actually wanted to answer it!)

I suppose a 3rd-party lock program is the answer, but they seem to each have different drawbacks and quirks...or cost money...(whine whine whine and cheese).

Doesn't S2U2 solve this problem?

Sure, as long as you're willing to put up with all the things it does to screw up your phone. (I could never get it to run correctly and I really read advice and tried.) I read too many posts from people like that, although I suppose there are others who are perfectly happy with it.

This is the one I might be interested in:

It might even be good enough to pay for.

Yeah I had problems with S2U2 on my Diamond..... Every time I went to answer the call the phone would freeze and I would miss the call. Now that I have switched to the Touch Pro I need to find a way from the thing waking up when its in my pocket....

Any Ideas?

I think you'd guess wrong. It's just that many of us don't want to wear them constantly - car and lounging at home are pretty much my only times with it. And it doesn't help that voice command doesn't work properly for announcing calls yet, not even with a lot of tweaking. So we want to be able to reliably pull out our phones and answer calls, hence the need for these locking programs. :mrgreen:
