I just got stereo bluetooth headphones, and I'd like to be able to turn off the screen and lock all the buttons when playing music.
Is there anything I can do or any programs what will allow me to do this?
If you are using WMP, you can assign a button to 'toggle screen' which will switch off your screen and probably lock the buttons (not sure) unless you assign it.
hope this works

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.
Firstly - hello all! What a great forum, I've gone from knowing nothing about Windows Mobile to having a fully customised Raphael in about 48 hours!
But: I have a set of Motorola S9 Bluetooth headphones which work excellently (although I haven't yet made or received a call using them). I also have a Sony a2dp Bluetooth headunit which also works excellently.
However .... As a matter of course I use the one touch power button to lock/standby, and when I press play/pause on either bluetooth device it automatically unlocks the phone.
When I'm driving this isn't such an issue as I will be ordering a Brodit Car Cradle very soon. But when I have the handset in my pocket using the S9 having it unlocked is a recipe for unwanted screen presses. I use the Touch Media Player (I know it's not the best but it seems to work OK for what I want) and the handset switches to the Music screen automatically (as well as unlocking) whenever I press play/pause. So theoretically it's pretty likely that it's only the media player that will get messed with, but you never know...
So my question is: Is there any way of stopping it from unlocking like this without introducing extra locking/unlocking complications?
hi
im using the Jabra BT3030, that uses A2DP aswel, on my touch pro and my phone stays locked when i start stop use the voice dailing, changing volume or song.
the phone turns on that is true, are u sure u are using the lock function
to realy lock ure phone u have to press and hold the end call button for 2 seconds(lower right button). if that button is not set to lock u can change that in ure phone settings under settings>long press end key there u can chose lock device
i hope this helps, let me know

Yeah, I'm using SonyEricsson HBH-DS980, and for me too the phone only turns on upon play/pause etc., but does not unlock.
Have you guys had any problems with receiving/making call using your headests? I have a problem that after a few minutes into a call my headset disconnects, although BT stays on, and I have to restart the headset to re-acquire BT-lock. And it keeps doing this every few minutes. Highly annoying - renders my headset completely useless for phone calls (luckily it still rocks for listening to music).
Mine does the same. Both with my HBH-DS970 and with my HTC BT headphones. I tried the long-press end key lock which works, but prevents me from changing tracks using the HTC headset, yet the volume control works. Weird huh?
I haven't tried the long end key press to lock the device. But thats because I use that for switching on vibrate mode.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
I'm using the motorola S9 too, and my TP doesn't unlock when I press play/pause.
Note that I've installed Answerkeydisabler and Advanced Config Tool and played with locking/screen-off, and may have activate some options leading to this behaviour...

u can always set the long key to "always display the quick list" so u can chose to lock ure device or set ure vibrate ringer
also u can just use the volume keys to change ure ringer to vibrate/sound to
I am now using the quick list so it sort of solves the problem. But it still seems a little awkward compared to just pressing the power button once and not having the a2dp commands reactivating it.
Are we saying that this cant be done?
Any ideas?
Hi. My HTC blackstone has a problem in power button. This way i mapped the answer call button long press to turn off screen. However, that doesnt solve my problem.
This way i want to find a screen toggle so i can map it to long press so it turns screen on and off, or alternately find a screen on to map ti to end call key.
Thanks
I'm using Tasker to disable the key guard when connected to home wifi. Most of the time this works. But quite often after I've connected to wifi and the key guard has been disabled it will become enabled again (usually after I press the "Home" button on the phone).
Have you guys experienced this and is there a way to prevent this from happening?
i have same problem on desire, villainrom 3.3
And if i turn screen off it dissapears ,but after another home button press, it appears again.
