A iphone-ish app is available for the face hitting buttons issues. People with "endowed faces" hit mute or speaker-depending on which side of your head you hold your phone with which can be bad depending on what kind of call your on.....

It's called TalkLock - after you pick your phone up it will lock your screen after 3 seconds and requires you to hold a slider to unlock it while your on your phone.

From your phone if you go to the following link: http://www.cellavant.com/TalkLock/Download.aspx?id=2506

or go to here from your browser: TalkLock™ (BETA) Touch Screen Lock for BlackBerry® Storm™

It has really helped with my fat face and hopefully it helps you too !!!

I installed this app and it is great but I have had one problem. On incoming calls the screen does not always lock. Has anyone else had this happen?

This is working great on my Storm!

I did have one instance where I made a call... connected... and it didn't activate... but maybe my face touched the screen before the 3rd second... causing it to deactivate? Not sure.

But other than that once instance... it's locked the screen perfectly... (No problems on incoming calls).

I also have not run into any other issues either... doesn't drain my battery... and my Storm hasn't slowed down because of the app.

+1 for this great application!

Nice.....very nice

jerseydude · 12-27-2008, 11:45 AM

the program works great so far, but a couple of times it did seem to deactivate itself during a call (maybe i swiped the screen without knowing it)

Now we need an application to prevent our face from deactivating this screen so we don't accidentally hit the mute key, LOL!

Anyway, I'm not quite sure how, but I got it working on my phone after the problem mentioned earlier and it seems to be working great! No battery drain this time! I'm sure that was caused by the memory leak they fixed.

I have installed on my Storm... but still trying to figure out how to put your own wallpaper:

Customizeable backround image (uses /home/user/TalkLock-Background.png if it exists under Device Memory)

I have connected the phone via DM, but the BlackBerry is not showing up in the "My Computer" section, so I don't think I am able to browse uses /home/user/TalkLock-Background.png

Anyone else been able to configure the background to something else? Isn't a big issue, but would be nice to achieve this!

chiefvelo · 12-28-2008, 10:33 AM

I think this "issue" is kinda funny. Palm Treo's have had the same touch screen function and in 7 years I never heard it as being a 'problem'. wonder how many touch screen newbees see it as a problem?

Email yourself a PNG called "TalkLock-Background.png" and download it to your Storm. Then either "Save" it or "Copy" it from your memory card to the device memory. Use the "Explore" option and you will find it easier I expect.

I use both a PC and a Mac. On either platform you could use PhotoShop. If you don't have it you could look for a free application like ImageMagik.

You could also google for "free conversion jpg to png".

free conversion jpg to png - Google Search

I hope this helps.
