HTC Touch - Turn on backlight with any button - General Topics

Not sure is it HTC Touch or WM6, there isn't any selection for
Backlight option "Turn on backlight when a button is pressed
or the screen is tapped". After device Backlight turn off, only
button to turn back on is on/off button. Anyway i can set such
that I can also use buttons like "Call" "End Call" to turn on backlight?

Is there any solution on the above? Probably some registry changes or
edit that can allow the "Call" end "End" button to use to turn on the
backlight?

Exactly the same problem...
Or, said in a different way, I'd like to block the device (screen and buttons), and completely turn backlight off, but being able to see an "active screen".
The current implementation (turn on the screen through power button) is very unconfortable.

Can red key turn off screen directly ?

How can I turn off screen directly?
Hand up key just exit app first...
the red hangup button switches off the screen directly.
he means like in treo650's if you hit the red key/hangup button it turns the screen off when your in an app and when you press it again it is still in the current app, rather then hit the red key takes you to the home screen then hit it again and it turns the screen off.
Similar effect you can have with Opt+Hangup. It activates KeyGuard and turns screen of in 3 or 5 seconds. After pressing hangup again you're back in last app. But you have to use combination of keys

Anyway to TURN ON the screen after it auto off?

Hi!
Besides pressing the power button is there any utility to do so after the screen turns off after its set timing?
What about a software to assign a SCREENON utility to a hardware button?
Thanks
why?

RE
Because my power switch button is blocked by my hand pouch so I need to press a hardware button to turn on the screen after it auto turns off
under settings/buttons, the htc touch pro defaults to locking all keys except the power key - try unsetting the lock keys - it may make the other keys wake it up..

RE
I don't really get what you're saying
By default, except for the button for 'Today', the rest of the keys are assigned as 'Context Menu'
I tried to assign one button to a SCREENON utility but after a soft reset it returns back to 'Context Menu'. Apparaently, it's not sticking
BTW, how to get out of the Buttons screen? I need to soft reset to do so.
May be my SCREENON utility is the wrong one. What I need is a POWERON utility.
Thanks

True Keylock

If someone is interested:
I had an issue with AEButton+ and the Device lock as the green/red buttons are not locked. As my green button turns by multiple clicking WiFi on/off and BT on/of my TouchPro kept turning WiFi/BT on/off in my pocket (if the power button was pressed so the screen is actually on but device locked) and for some reason - see below - the buttons aren't locked at all.
So here is the registry key to lock all the buttons:
Anyone who wants to act the keylock as the device lock:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\KeyLock]
"SameAsDeviceLock"=dword:00000001
Seems that it doesnt work that way either

Turn screen on with keypad

Reprogramming the power button?

My phone tends to turn off in my pocket due to the power button being held and then, somehow, the "turn off" on the screen clicked. Is there any way to make screen lock lock the physical buttons as well? So that clicking the power button turns the screen on like it does now but holding it doesn't make the window prompt. From what I see, there's no such option in the android itself so some app maybe?
