Scotty_Two - My guess is they'll say it is "by design".

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

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.

Wow, Jessie posted that a week ago to the day! Even at that point he'd had his TP2 for about 45 days then, and not 13. Telus TP2 was released end of July dude and I believe he got his within a day or two of release.

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?

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...
