I'm assuming you mean the registry edit- if so it appears to work on Telus branded TP2s but not on the Sprint ones??

I am simply not having this problem. Power button to black pout screen, wait 45 seconds ( or whatever amount ) and back to the program that I was last using.

While on call.............. put to head/face to talk, screen black's out.... pull phone away, screen comes back on to the dial pad/icall screen.

Am i mixed up?

The registry edit completely stopped the issue of going back to HTC Home when pushing the power button on/off. It keeps the screen / device tuned into locked into the app that was running PRIOR to pushing the button. I have to admit this has been an issue for me for quite some time. I have tried several small apps and edits (I've had this phone for more than a month now.) One of those mods I installed could have enabled the small regedit here to just work now... regardless - it works without a hitch now on my TP2 on Telus network.

Its funny because my problem is intermittent - sometimes it defaults to the home screen (majority of time)- sometimes it doesn't- who knows!!

Is your device backed up? Try doing a clear and test if the issue presents itself without any software installed. Some of the modifications seem to cause this issue. The phone pad black out and then back to HTC home issue drove me up the wall until I figured one of the homescreen modifications was causing the issue. You can hit the phone button and it takes you back to the dialpad although (I'm sure you figured this out...)... I did this for a while trying to figure out the app that was causing the issue...

Done and acting fine. I have actually hard resetted a number of times since getting the phone the other day. And have applyed a number of reg tweaks to it at different times......... none of them have given me the problem that you speak of

ACTUALLY, My TP2 is way more stable than my old TP1......... WAY MORE.

God I dislike the TP! more and more now that I have the TP2!

What a different phone. It shouldn't be called the Touch Pro 2....... it's kind of insulting...

I have a Sprint TP2 and was having the same issue, which was most annoying when in a call and trying to get access to the keypad or "End Call" button...once the proximity sensor had shut off the screen, I could get the screen to come back, but the keypad/phone screen would only appear for a second and then disappear and I was back at the home screen while the call continued.

I had the device lock enabled so I tried changing the setting to 0 minutes as suggested. This made the screen work correctly with applications, but the in-call screen was still disappearing. Turning off the device lock completely solved the problem. I wanted to mention this since I haven't installed anything other than Google Maps, so it seems to be solely a TF3D issue.
