I bought a used MyTouch 3G to use with T-Mobile. I did a factory reset, which left me with Android 2.2.1. I have a problem with the dial pad when talking on a call.
These days companies do everything possible to avoid having to actually answer the phone and talk directly to a customer. And if they do have actual humans to talk to you it is necessary to wade through menus to get to the right person. The problem is that when the menu system says "press 3 to pay your bill" I look at the screen and it says "double tap to unlock." By the time I manage to get the double tapping done and the dial pad unlocked the menu system has moved on. Or worse, in my haste to double tap I inadvertently hit one of the numbers.
I would like very much to disable to dial pad locking, but after searching the forums for hours I find no solution. I did find a post from 2009 where another user had the same problem, but no one posted an answer.
I don't even understand the purpose of locking the dial pad. If I'm on a call I might need the dial pad at any moment. Why lock it?
I hope someone has an answer because this is driving me nuts.
