    I don't mind the timing out and the screen locking, I have it set on 1 minute, so it doesn't bother me. What DOES bother me is that when I press the red button to hang up after a phone call, that also locks the screen. I often have to make several calls in a row so this is very annoying. If anyone has a solution for this, please please tell me. thanks.

    Try pressing the end button only once?

    It usually isnt you pressing the red button. If you are on the phone for over a minute it will automatically lock up.

    To turn off screen, press the Red Button

    (Problem solved, NO?)
    But if you press the red button, it locks the phone again

    I think I stumbled upon a hackish solution.

    1) using AnyCut, create a shortcut to the activity "Setup Wizard"
    2) run "Setup Wizard"
    3) (you might have to touch the android first, then) replug the battery and turn on the device

    The setup wizard apparently disables the lock and re-enables it when it finishes.
