Help is there anyway to turn off the touchscreen to recieve calls?

[londonstylz]

is there anyway to turn off the touchscreen when recieving a call? A few times when i go to take my phone out of my pocket to take a call I accidently hit the screen and it sends whoever is calling the away message. Is there anyway to turn the touchscreen off and just use hard buttons to take calls.

Have you tried using the pattern security as well as regular lock screen.

yeah im using the pattern lock right now but when a call come in it goes to the incoming call screen.

I looked in the call settings and didn't see anything positive. You could try playing with some of the options.

If you have the WidgetLocker app (recommend it) there is a setting to do just what you want. In WidgetLocker press the menu button > Settings > Popups > check Hide Incoming Call.

This will prevent accidents when there is an incoming call. WidgetLocker is a paid app but it is worth it. Sometimes you can find it as a deal on Amazon or the Android market. It is a very handy app for your lockscreen.

thanks man. its works great. also love the ability to go directly to my email after unlocking. Defiantly worth the $2.99 (for me anyway.)

Glad it helped. There are a lot of settings and customizations you can do with WidgetLocker to make it work how you want it.
