Slide to Answer on the AT&T Fuze?

One of the more common gripes about a touch screen device is that on incoming calls, it doesn't take much to accidentally tapping the screen, inadvertently answering the call. If I had a dollar for every time I accidentally answered a call while taking my AT&T Fuze out of the case, I could probably afford an early retirement.

Have no fear, a solution to this headache is available. Fuze Mobility forum member herg62123 has created a tweak for the AT&T Fuze/Touch Pro that will add a slider to your answer screen.  Instead of tapping the "answer" or "ignore" buttons on the screen you simply move the newly created slider over which action you want to take. Once the call is answered, a screen appears over the mute, speaker, etc. buttons than can be pulled down with a swipe of a finger. If it prevented the screen from blanking out during the call it would just about be perfect.

The "Slide to Answer" application comes in two styles, one with the standard white background and the other with a black background and can be found here. Currently Herg62123 is ironing out the finishing touches on v5 of this application. The black background works fine in V5 but you need to use V4 for the time being for the white background. The slider to answer flows nicely but the pull down for the screen takes a little more effort. Regardless, if you're all thumbs and find yourself accidentally answering calls, this app is definitely worth a try.

i tried it
that pull down cover thingy gets stuck a lot
S2U2 (slide 2 Unlcok) works better, as it also locks the hardware buttons..

i know S2U2 uses a lot of memory, but its not bad on the Sprint TouchPro

This is in the forums at FuzeMobility:
To disable the curtains do this simple registry edit:
HKLM/Software/HTC/PHONE
"PhoneLockEnable" change value to "0" from 1

It requires a soft reset and it does work

for those who have issues with white v5.....what i am going to do is delete v5 white and make v5 black v4 black.

i don't under stand why v5 white is not working but v5 black is. they are the same thing, the only difference is v5 black has some bmp files in it the makes the black dialer look black and not white.

so from now on v5 black will become v4 black and v5 white will be deleted.

i downloaded the revised version V4 white but nothing happened. downloaded the V4 black, the color changed but there wasn't any slide to unlock. am i supposed to fiddle with some settings?

Hello,
I downloaded the last release of the app., my dialpad has changed, and the dialer buttons, but i have not got a slide bar between the green and red button,,, so?? any help?
