The screen is automatically locked during a call when the proximity sensor detects something in close proximity of the device. Therefore it is impossible to reject a call in your pocket. The screen is inactive in your pocket.

@nebel
Yeah It looks like a good solution for this problem, but not working for me either.

It might not be a problem for you, but it certainly is for me.

Consider the following scenario: N900 is in pocket, sensor side up. Phone rings, phone pulled partly out of pocket, so sensor is out, therefore the phone unlocks while most of the phone is still in the pocket. Reject button pressed unintentionally.

Any ideas?
Looking for a way to prevent accidental answering of the phone while it's in my pocket. Slide to answer would be perfect, but I don't think it's available? Otherwise, some way of locking the screen (so requiring more than just one screen press) to answer/reject the call. I seem to accidentally reject 90% of the incoming calls on my N900, and am missing a lot of important ones.
Thanks.
