Hello,
Yes, I searched everywhere but didn't find any answer.
Is it possible to disable the backlight when notifications comes ? For example, when a SMS or an e-mail arrives, the screen powers up and my pocket presses the screen and do bad things on the screen. This would be a cleaner idea than locking the screen!
I know that phoneAlarm have an option for this but I'm using PhoneWeaver for this profiling job (which is smaller than it). I think it must be a reg key somewhere for this :/
Thanks in advance for your precious help!
To be honest, I do not understand you question but I think you are searching for the sound and alert settings?
Go to start > settings > sound and alerts (and then the 2nd tab)
If this is not what you are looking for, could you be more specific?
he want it to when it turns on because of an alarm or sms or the likes that it
dont have backlight on the lcd
personaly i doubt it's possible i believe that when notifications turn the device on it's 100% the same thing that is sendt to the os as when one press the on button if that is the case that the os cant tell the diff
i doubt it could have different backlight settings depending one
what turns it on
holding the button down for a bit turn off the backlight on many devices
untill the button is pressed for a bit again
also when it's turned off so when the notification turns it on the backlight will be off
but ofcause so will it when power button turns it on
I would like my device (TyTN/Hermes) under windows mobile 6 not to "turn on" when a message arrives because my phone case press on the screen while on my pocket and some strange things arrives (delete messages, surf on the Internet, ...) as random parts and buttons are pressed...
I was hoping this simple thing could have been done easily
slide2unlock
I was wanting the same thing also since I carry my phone in my pocket(htc mogul). As I would reach into my pocket to pull out the phone I would end up pressing button to where programs would open and what not. I tried slide2unlock and I think that has solved my problem pretty good. The only time the phone get unlocked is with an incoming call. Other than that the screen just turns on with an incoming text. Good thing about this program is that if you turn on your screen, the buttons won't do anything without sliding the slider to unlock.
if a password is set it dont go to the today screen and random screen pokes will not result in wild pr0n surfing
or getting a case with s screen in front like the silicon ones or the
full plastic ones will safe the screen from clicks and damage too
I am also looking for a solution. I am currently using slide2unlock, but I would prefer the behavior mentioned above. Specifically, I would like the phone to stay in standby mode (screen off, not responding to button presses or screen taps) when an incoming SMS arrives or phone acquires or loses signal. Currently these behaviors will turn on the phone by itself.
I recently updated to Shamanix 1.3 (aka Schap's 4.01 customized) which has this behaviour
The phone don't turn on when an e-mail/sms/mms arrives (only when a phone call arrives)
Anyone has found the solution for this?
Thanks!

Hi there,
I have the following little prob with my Polaris:
whenever I make a call the display will go dark after a couple secs (which by itself isn't bad). However, seems like the polaris enters the standby-mode after acouple more secs, since I won't be able to touch the display to bring it up again-instead I will have to press the green or red button. This is a little annoying since I'm not able to easily access, e.g., the contacts during a call or press a key to, say, delete a message when checking my voicemails.
Any suggestions on how to tackle this?
Thanx
Two things you can do:
When you are in a call you can always press the power button and the screen will switch back on giving you access to all your applications and contacts, etc..
Better solution is to install the Backlite application. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360657
This will stop the backlight switching off during a call. Works fine for me.

Thank you!
Yap, I knew about the power button but think hitting this one is a little annoying, too. What I'd aktually like is that - during a call - the display IS indeed turned off or at least dimmed down to very dark in order to safe battery. However, I'd like it to stay touch-sensitive and come back on if I touch it. Will the Backlite application do this for me?
Thanx again!

I think the point of making the screen "non touch-sensitive" during a call is that it is easy to touch it with your face during a call and you could end up disconnecting the call or doing other unexpected things.

I was a bit surprised to just discover, by accident, that whenever I press any of the front hardware buttons when my device is in standby then the Touch Cruise doesn't completely ignore them, it switches on the button-panel lights for a while and then they go off after the timeout. For the red hangup key it also makes a beep when the button is pressed as well as activating the button lights.
As far as I can tell this is all the device does, it doesn't switch on the screen or activate any of the functions associated with the buttons I press (as far as I can tell) but I still worry that if I accidentally get the TC in a position in my pocket (when I'm driving or just sitting down for instance) where I'm constantly activating a button then after a few hours I could either drain the battery unnecessarily by keeping the button lights permanently on and/or I could crash the device by swamping it with button-pressed messages.
Do other people see the same behaviour when their TC is in standby and is there any hack to disable this?

Try going into Settings - System - Key Lock
and change it to the top option "Lock all buttons except power button"
Same suggestion - doesn't make a sound here
That DOES happen when he is locked and NOT in standby. Still then - the volume keys work which is not really desired but hey...
Thank you mouseymousey and SabbeRubbish. You fixed my problem, but not in the way you probably intended.
I'd just been narrow minded and assumed that, if this option was available, it would be in the Button settings app so I hadn't seen the Key Lock settings app. Thanks to you both I found this and, guess what, the top "Lock all buttons except power button" WAS set but my buttons still activated the backlight and sometimes beeped.
Confused, I changed the option to the bottom "Do not lock buttons" and it behaved as expected, i.e. any button press completely woke up the device. I then set the option back to the top "Lock all buttons except power button" and this time my problem is solved, i.e. no reaction whatsoever from pressing the front buttons.
Wierd. My TC obviously got itself into an odd state and toggling the button lock preference seems to have fixed it. I'll keep an eye on this one.
Thanks again for the invaluable advice.
- Julian
I shouldn't let misleading info lie here so here's my confession. This issue turned out to be nothing to do with my device getting confused about its key lock setting. The fact that it fixed itself when I toggled the key lock setting was a coincidence, what I did at the same time as toggling the setting was to also close down Conduits PocketPlayer which I had still minimised and running (although not playing any music) in the background.
The problem appears to be with PocketPlayer (PP) and is 100% reproducible. If PP is still running (even minimized) when the device is put into standby then I get the behaviour described in my initial post, close down PP before going into standby and everything is OK and the front buttons are totally inactive.
I have of course filed a bug with Conduits but the good news is that noone needs to worry about any generic TC/WM6 wierdness here.

Hi all,
After a phone call i often see that a lot of programms has been launched accidentally due to the contact between my ear and the touch screen.

Lol, my ear once accepted another incoming call from this girl that I was avoiding for ages... and I didn't even realise I was talking to her, thought it was my other mate.

Ouch!
If i'm not wrong, S2U2 can turn display off during a call. Great software!
I've tried two progs more: PhoneScreenLock and InesoftAddressBook.
Inesoft provide many features including display switch off during a call.
Phonescreenlock keep the display on showing info about the call, locking the screen.. but with long conversation you may frie your ear
Bye

Any updates on this one please? I have the same problem with running gazillion apps on my Polaris with my ear in call as benjb did.
Tried PhoneScreenLock - did not work well for me because its buggy (the lock screen pretty often appears somewhere BELOW the in-call buttons or start menu and needs to be switched to via closing in-call screen, which obviously renders it useless).
The InesoftAddressBook is not an option either, cause I already have other address book app and would like to stick with it (BTW my current address book has "slide-to-pick-up-call" feature, which makes me afraid that it would conflict with S2U2).
Sadly the Polaris doesn't have motion or light sensor... It would make my life sooooo easier with ZuinigeRijder's TouchLockPro...
So any ideas on what else I could use please? Thanks!
two things...
1) Are you aware that after you answer/make a call but before you put the phone up to your ear you can press the power button (not press & hold, just press & release) which will turn off the display, but not disconnect your call (or, turn off your phone)? No stray on-screen button pushing this way! With the screen off the "end call/hang up" button still functions and when you press it the screen will come back on immediately. If you need to access your address book or make a note etc during a call, press & release the power button and it will turn the screen back on and not effect your call in any way. If your phone is set up like mine and it returns to the home screen each time the screen is turned on, then simply press the green phone button and the dialer comes back to the top.
2) If #1 doesn't do it for you and you need software to accomplish this, then search this forum for MissedCallReminder (just like that - no spaces). Besides having an option to "lock screen on connect" it has a very handy feature (the main feature actually, as the name indicates) of being able to set up repeat reminders for missed calls and missed sms messages. Very handy. It can be setup to run automatically at startup so you don't have to remember to start it up manually. It also automatically unlocks the screen when you end your call.
Turned out I had bookmarked the app, so here's a link:

Greetings all.
Does anyone know of a good way of locking the screen while making a phone call? I've tried proximity sensor, which does not work on my phone. I currently have my time out setting at 15 seconds, but that does not work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm sick of face dialing/hanging up.
Proximity sensor does not work at all for me, either. I have been begging and begging people on the forum to help come up with a way to remove or disable the huge "End call" button, as I am constantly hanging up on people with my face.
It is the number one suckiest thing about my Hero right now.
oh, i am looking for this kind of software but found nothing
Probably one of the best "answer/hang up" functions I saw was with SIPdroid. Slide up to answer, slide down to hang up. Of course, the data service is not good enough to always use that though.....
I put the notification bar down down, but it seems almost buggy, sometimes the notification bar stays down and sometimes it just moves up by itself again.
Hit the home button to get out of the dialer window...

And, then, enjoy the vibrations as you move your homescreen icons around with your face.
Why is there so much resistance to figuring out how to either lock the screen during a call or just disable or remove the stupid soft "End call" button?
Is it significantly more difficult than changing the button color or creating a ROM?

Home button is cool if you happen to only touch the end call button and never anything else. I personally called a friend and sent 4 blank texts to someone, don't ask me how....
Home button will cause as many problems. Notification bar coming down is the best way I've found....
an even better way. hold the menu button down.
the keyboard is a great shield.

I will try that one. Seems like it could work, thanks.
Well, google is my friend, i don't know why I doubted ye...
Screen Suite does it for me. The app is $1.99, but it has a setting where it automatically locks the screen on calls.
A bluetooth headset negates that problem completely......

How do you like it? I found it and it seemed kind of bloated with a lot of features I don't need. Does it eat up memory/power?
I am interested....
I don't get why you guys are having so many issues with this, my phone screen locks at the default of 30s when in calls, it has done this as long as I have had the phone.

Mine usually does. Unless it thinks I'm pressing things with my face, which keeps it awake.
That is... if my face doesn't end the call by the time the 30 seconds is up. My guess? It's probably the shape of our faces?
I just try to hold the bottom part of the screen away from my face. Once the screen turns off I've never hung up on someone.

Hmm another good one! Any keyboard presses do anything nasty? I'm on swype but I wonder if hitting the mic button on the hacked keyboard would do anything annoying.
Thanks for the tip!
My main problem is when my wife calls, and wants to talk to my son. His face is a lot smaller, and well, everything get screwed up when he uses the phone. As for the program, it does have a lot of features, but all I did was have it set to auto-lock on phone calls. I still have my default vanilla lock screen.
Lack of a both a proximity sensor and dedicated screen-off button is this phone's single unforgivable flaw.
I will never again buy a touchscreen device without at least one of these.
