Basically the prox sensor does not help in answering a call accidentally. Looks like the only way to ensure no accidental answering is to lock the screen before you place in pocket...

But means you have to unlock the screen and then click answer to answer the call. 2 step process unfortunately
Hang on.. He didn't try to uncover the sensor while the phone was ringing. Could be that the screen lock is disabled then. Or am I missing something?

Exactly.

I've added a Brainstorm to this behavior. Please vote if you have such kind of problems or contribute here at talk.

Here is how it works for me.

1: I put the phone in my pocket. Obviously, I lock the screen before I do this; otherwise, I'll be instructing the phone to do random things while I walk. That would also seriously drain the battery.

2: Some time goes by.

3: I get a phone call. At that time the proximity sensor keeps the touchscreen inactive.

4: I remove the phone from a tight pocket; my wallet and phone share the same pocket.

5: I look at the phone and press answer.

6: I talk, etc...

Never, have I accidentally answered a call.

sennyk you take your phone carefully out of your pocket knowing that you can touch only sides. This is inconsistent behaviour when you compare it to how you probably would take phone out of pocket if it doesnt have touchcreen. Wild guess

- I put phone in my pocket without knowing how it is in there (like probably most of people)
- When I answer I try to take it out as fast as possible, Just grab it and turn around with one hand to see who i calling.

Should i change my behaviour after ~10 years. Maybe. but if there is solution already somwhere why not copy it.

It isn't possible to take the phone out very carefully. It is a tight pocket; the screen rubs my leg, my wallet, and/or my fingers touch the screen while taking it out sometimes. It just depends on how I put it in my pocket.

Your guess is way off base.

I know that this has been discussed in another thread and there is a brain storm on this. But what I would like to to see is that if a call is received we should have a slider to either activate the phone touch screen or touch slide to answer the call. By having one or the other eliminates accidentally drop/answer the call.

I've been accidentally ending at least half of the calls I receive when trying to get the N900 out of my pocket. It's starting to frustrate the heck out of me.

Any solutions to this problem yet?

Same here. I would really like a solution to this "problem" (it is a problem for me).
