How can I minimize cheek pressing buttons?

[gbynum]

Alltel 6900 Touch ...

When I am on a phone call, I will frequently hear tones, etc. Initially I thought it was a low battery warning, but I've figured out that my cheek is doing many unintended screen selections. Is there a practical way to block this occurring?

press the power button to turn the screen off

Quit rubbing the phone on your cheek...LOL!!!


If you do a search for dialers you may turn up interesting results on certain dialers that have covers on them just for tis purpose...Also there is A reg edit for your screen going to sleep during calls maybe I can find it and re-post...

I expected that response, and almost mentioned it in the question. Of course, a BT earpiece would help, too <g>. The real issue is that I am hard of hearing, and constantly press harder and reposition the darn earpiece, making it doubly obnoxious to me.

I'm not knowledgable enough to understand how to change a dialer from the default to another ... YET ...; it sounds like a possiblity, and I'd appreciate suggestions on dialers to evaluate, and where to find them; searching this forum (and its parent) yielded little that helped ME.

AND, the register setting information would be useful.

(I'm not computer illiterate; indeed, in the 1970's and 80's I did a lot with 8080/Z80 assembler code and CP/M ... command prompts are more to my liking than Windows)

Time to download it and investigate ... The "Slide" part had me ignoring it completely as the Vogue 6900 (where this thread exists) is not a slide phone ... does slide have other meanings as in the TouchFLO interface?

Check out my sound tutorial, the end of post #3. You may be hearing your call waiting tone.

Silence it with:
