I have a HTC Wildfire and anytime I'm on a call, the keypad is active which means I'm pushing numbers or unknowingily scrolling through parts of my phone when my face/ear comes into contact with the phone.

It's extremely annoying and I'm wondering whether this is the case will all Wildfires or is there something I need to change in the settings?

Apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere in the forum. I've done a quick search and haven't managed to come across any solutions so far.

Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

 

After a bit of investigation I think this has solved the problem. From the manual:

Recalibrating the G-sensor
Recalibrate the screen if you feel that the screen orientation does not respond properly to the way you hold the phone.

- From the Home screen, press MENU, then tap Settings > Sound & display.
- Scroll down the screen, and then tap G-Sensor calibration.
- Place the phone on a flat and level surface, and then tap Calibrate.
- After the recalibration process, tap OK.

 

Yes, you're absolutely right. The re-calibration didn't work.. as you pointed out its just addressing the screen orientation. Silly me.. jumping the gun, hoping to have found a solution!

I just got off a call now and ended up somewhere deep within my phone book menu. Looks like I'll have to start using the power key to lock the phone when on calls in the future. Thanks for the tip!
