For those of you who are as annoyed about this option as I am, thanks to Jamie of Samsung tech support who attempted to misinform (fobb) me earlier today about what can & cannot be done in the registry here is a little script to turn this off thanks to a friend in another forum here http://www.modaco.com/content/i900-o...y/#entry919972
Reg key HKLM\System\State\Touchlock . Set to 0 -> screen enabled, set to 1 -> screen locked
is the key responsable for locking the touchpad once a call is made, problem with this is if you are navigating a voicemail or automated menu this can be annoying.

The text below is a mortscript workaround which will disable this as a workaround, simply copy the lines between code paste into a text file & save as a *.mscr file e.g. no_screen_lock.mscr copy to the phone & run it,it will check & change the reg key to "0" everytime the phone sets it to "1" enabled.if you soft-reset the phone you will need to run the script again, if i figure out or find a way to permantly disable this option I will update.

CODE

# No_screenlock.mscr
# Script to prevent i900 from locking display while using Phone - (c) 2008 Juicey
#

# Set this to desired delay value in millisecs
delay=500

While ( 1 )

If wndActive "Phone"
regReadDword HKLM,"System\State","Touchlock",tlock
If equals %tlock%,1
regWriteDword HKLM,"System\State","Touchlock",0
EndIf
EndIf

Sleep %delay%

EndWhile

Does the increase to 30 sec instead of the default 10 sec not help?

Where can I put this file in? Don't seem to find the registry in Windows directory. Do you need a software that goes into the registry? Thanks!

I checked my phone's registry. Touchlock = 0, but when I am in a call, the screen still locks and require the press of the center key to unlock.

You need mortscript, the exe now attached but see here for donations http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=d...n=view&entry=65

1) Unzip & copy both files to the phone,
2) run mortscript.exe
3) run No_screenlock.mscr
4) test make a call, you should see the popup appear but immediately disappear
