I have searched the SE forum for an answer to this question with no success.
I am trying to figure out if there is an option or work around on the w580 to lock all the keys during an incoming call. The standard automatic key lock works fine for me in standby mode but it seems that when someone calls the key lock turns off so that that a single button press answers the call. This is rather annoying because like many people I carry my phone in my pocket and if someone calls and I don't want to answer the call, a simple bump of the phone will answer the call in my pocket.
Is there a way to keep the key lock on at all times, so the phone only answers on the slide open?

Thanks for the input, I know I can turn off the ringer, and not answer the call but I am worried about accidentally answering the call while the phone is in my pocket when I don't hear the ringer or answering an unwanted call accidentally while pulling the phone out of my pocket.

There is an "Answering Mode" within the profile settings with the options "Normal", "Any Key" and "Automatic" but the incoming call issue exists in Normal mode and I can't seem to find any documentation or description of how the different answering modes function.

If anyone has a w580 and knows how to turn off all buttons and keep the phone locked on an incoming call until the phone is slid open or a unlock key sequence is pushed I would appreciate the assistance.

you cannot change the lock setting to what you want the phone to do. I also was searching for answers and they all do that. the lock is weird on this phone.
