HTC Desire automatically answers call in pocket..

[hansiman]

Hi all,

Since I upgraded my Desire to Android 2.3.3 I got a really annoying problem:

When the phone is in my pocket and I get an incoming call, I take out the phone and by doing that movement, the slider goes down and I accidentally REJECT the call. Have had this problem for over a hundred times now..really annoying..

Please someone help me with this problem.

All help help is greatly appreceated, my brother has the same phone, same firmware, same problem, so it's not just my phone..

Thanks in advance

copas2 has an app in there that allows you turn turn on the proximity sensor. I had a problem calling people whilst the phone was in my pocket but never had a problem since using this.
