Searching for "real" touch-screen locker and software to put Omnia into sleep if not unlocked

I searching for software witch "really" locks touch-screen.

"Really" I mean that when any kind of notification arrives then screen is still touch insensitive.

Examples:

1. in bulitin Lock/Unlock when notification is displayed then screen remains locked - good. But when call income then screen is touch sensitive, because softkeys are clickable (left softkey = pick up; rigth softkey = ignore). so if I try to dig out the phone from my pocket then almost always I pickup or ignore incoming call unintentionally.

2. in S2U2 1.22 there are red and green phone buttons if call arrives (actually I have disabled those phone buttons in S2U2 settings, but they appear nonetheless - probably some bug). so issue is the same. moreover S2U2 unlock touch screen when any notification is displayed - so it is even worst than builtin screen lock, because when phone turns on in my pocket, then almost instantly softkeys "dissmis" or "snooze" was pressed, and I miss notification again. There are Slide2Answer option in S2U2, but I notice freezes with this option, and I have many unanswered calls.

So in fact I want to have screen locked all the time, and answer calls with hardware button only, and unlock screen only with hardware button or gesture on the screen. Any kind of auto-unlock in any case!

Anyone known a screen lock software which do not unlock it when call or notification arrives?

And another software question...

Consider this scenario: phone power off is set to 2 mins. so after 2 mins of idle it locks and turns itself. That is ok.

But when I turn phone on in my pocket by pressing hardware button accidentally then it stays on for at least 2 mins. What a waste of battery! But this is nothing... because in pocket I continously press the screen so idle timer is resetted and 2 mins countdown to poweroff is start over from the beginning. So practically if you walk and accidentally turn on phone in your pocket then it stays on almost forever. Another battery drain.

So I looking for a software that if the phone was not unlocked for few seconds after turning on - turns it off unconditionally.

Any clues?

(BTW S2U2 have option like this, but I have other issues with S2U2, so I must uninstall it anyway).

on of the better options is to not actually rely on software but to put the phone in a holder

in S2U2 you can turn off S2U answer/end call buttons in config. try that.

problem for me with S2U2 is that battery drain in big in version 1.22 so i'm waiting for next one, if someone know how to fix it pls let me know.

it not works for me. I can have Slide2Answer or Red/Green buttons on. if I turn off all then Red/Green buttons still are displayed and activated if call income. I think that this is bug in lastest version.

but anyway S2U2 do not lock displayed notifications, alarms, etc. so this is "fake" screen locker - unusable in pocket.

I am still using V1.00, no battery drain. Works fine for me, since I was with my HTC Wizard..

Have you tried the combination of hide all soft keys->ON with only Slide to Answer-> ON. I don't use this but this if works should make it usable in pocket as it is unlikely you can press any soft keys(if they are indeed hidden) and you will have very little chance to slide to answer unintentionally.
