Is there any option / registry hack how to disable keylock in touch pro?
HTC Touch has an icon - keylock - in the settings, but HTC touch pro doesn't.
It is very uncomfortable to activate (not start, but turn the phone on from saving state) phone via power button.
Maybe I have an idea for new useful program.
Once the display is off, make a round with your finger around the main button on the sensitive desk (like if you want to zoom the page in the Opera). This could be great.
Anyone knows how to disable automatic HW keylock?
Thanks for your thoughts.

you should ask the raph owners in the appropriate thread.
BUT! on the diamond, you can disable the key lock in settings.
Sorry for wrong thread
I know how to do it on diamond, but I don't on raphael.
in registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd
set:
defaultkeylock
from 1 to 0
Then soft reset.
touch pro has it in settings under the system tab for me (was just educated on this earlier)
In standard ROM Keylock for setup wakeup key missing. It is possible set up only password.
Any idea how to get it back? I want traditional keylock back

I recently got a Qtek 8300 (similar to an i-Mate SP5m). It's working pretty well and I'm pleased with it. However, one thing I wish I could correct is that when I have my phone in a case, slightly touching the front of the case causes the locked keyboard to unblank the screen. I have an eBook reader so I have the screen stay on for a longer-than-usual time. The problem is that unblanking the screen for no reason wastes battery power. Half the time when I glance down at the phone case, the screen is on.
Is there any way to get only the left soft key, or any other key, to unblank the screen to unlock the keyboard, and have all the other keys ignored? Thanks.

I'd be very curious to get a solution to this problem too. Even the Automatic Keylock utility seems to end up calling the canned WM5 keylock routine, which turns on the light whenever you touch a locked key...
I really liked the way WM2003SE locked the keys on a PocketPC phone. With that, the light stayed off until I pressed the power button. The beauty of the power button is that it's recessed and won't be pressed by a carrying case. Plus, I always knew where the power button was - even in the dark.

This is a BAD flaw in the software build.
Has anyone found a fix to this?
I do know that the PPC version of WM5 has a checkbox somewhere in settings that actually allows you to disable all keys except the power button, when the keylock is applied. So there's got to be some extra registry entries on the PPC. Anyone got a Wizard or similar rhey can take a look at the registry and see?
I am SURE standby time would be GREATLY improved if we could invoke this on the Smartphone platform.......

From my Wizard (XDA Mini-S), turning the "lock all keys" option on and off, changes this value:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"DefaultKeyLock"=dword:00000000 (unlocked)
"DefaultKeyLock"=dword:00000001 (locked)
unfortunately, there is no "Keybd" key on my Tornado (Xda IQ, specifically) so I suspect this won't work. Shame...

I think I am going mad so forgive me.
Can someone help me to rotate the screen to landscape with the keyboard closed? IE. manually rotate the screen.
I can't seem to find the function anywhere.
or have I missed something?
Thanks.
Just rotate the device?!
This only works in certain apps, like picture etc.
I want the Home screen, and TT7 in Landscape when in the car, and turning the screen doesn't do anything.
Any help?
The Apps themselves need to support the Rotation of the phone by implementing a hook into the Accelerometer/G-Sensor.
Like said above, TouchFlo3D Pictures and Opera do this, but most other apps do not! Just need to wait for later versions or change to landscape mode manually - if supported!
Should be (although HTC may have removed it) in Start->Settings->System (tab)->Screen, and then change the orientation. It's possible HTC removed this functionality though...
I'm guessing that Mortscript will still work on the Touch.
You could use this to rotate the screen then call the app in question?
Then when you quit the app it'll rotate back.
I forgot the name of the app, but it allowed you to rotate the Diamond for any app or any situation in the phone. It should also be able to work on the Touch Pro then.
Its called GSen it works on diamond and probably it should work for this and if its not working just wait for new release.

They have removed this option, but you can bring it back with Schap's advanced config 3.0! I haven't tried it, but I've seen the option there!
Reg Edit to set Talk key to rotate screen manually
Here's a reg hack to manually rotate your screen, only when desired.
In Settings/Buttons/ one used to be able to assign a button to <Rotate Screen>. This feature is hidden on the Touch Pro.
To get it back:
Using a Registry editor, go to:
HKeyLocalMachine/System/GDI/Rotation
Change the "HideOrientationUI" from 1 to 0
Now you can remap the talk key to do this on long press.
Pocketpowermanager puts a little icon at the bottom of the Today screen which rotates the screen (and an icon for power off, and another for soft reset). It's a great application.
Hi there
Both Gens and Gyrator work well on the Touch Pro.
Just Bing them (at bing.com).
David
You can get an application called gyrator 2 which will allow you to rotate without sliding out the keyboard in any screen, so like you can use it in the start menu or anywhere else, http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6068

hi, i can't seem to find keylock application that locks all hardware buttons but power when device is on sleep mode. have you got it on yours? i had it on my old tytn II
do you have a
settings->buttons->lock ?
no. have you? i've got only Program buttons, Up/Down Control and backlight tabs there
hmm...you mean setting up a lock to turn off all keys until you hit Unlock then confirm by tapping the key on the screen?
Press and hold the "End" button and that locks the device.
It is configured under start>setting>Long key press.
MIGHT NOT be the thing you are meaning though.
no, you know when you pres power button phone goes sleep mode? there should be a setting where you can decide if you want to allow other hardware buttons wake phone from sleep or other wise.
currently which ever hw button i press phone wakes up i.e send (green) button, terminate call (red button) or action (round) button.
this is no good when phone in your pocket. a small touch to any of them wakes phone up. i thought it is standart wm option as i had it since wizard
Hmm, when i power off the only thing which will power back on is pressing the power button, opening the keyboard or removing the stylus?
I've just got a touch pro and when I power off, no other buttons will wake up the phone.
That being said, I still have my Tytn II and the Key Lock application is found under Start...Settings...System...Key Lock. The Long Key Press app is not what you're after.
It seems strange that your Touch Pro wakes up on any button push. Maybe you need to change a registry setting instead?
wierd ; on mine apart from those, any button powers it up. only config tool i used is advanced confing and there isint any setting regarding this on that tool

On touch Pro there is no Keylock option in the settings.
Only way how to activate the device is to:
1. press power button
2. open the keyboard
3. take out the stylus
There is no config like on the HTC Touch/Diamond.
I've contacted Julien Schapman, vendor of advanced config and asked him to add this settings to his application.
this is his answer:
Ok I will look at it when I could get a Touch Pro.
Best regards,
Julien Schapman.
So I hope his new version will have this settings. This is really missing.
But maybe someone is able to export this registry path on the HTC Diamond:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD
there should me something like
"KeyLock"=dword:1
Or maybe another. I don't know.

very cool app to unlock and lock the phone.
Tested and works on touch pro.
I'll be replacing S2U2 with this!

It should be in the \Windows directory:
\Windows\Keylock.lnk
\Windows\Keylock.exe
Create a shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Settings
I don't have this in my HD2 - any ideas if it can be installed seperately?
No idea as I have an at&t Fuze and this is a RAPH/TP/Fuze forum You might have better luck if you posted a link to this thread in the HD2 forum? Also, an alternative to s2u2, check THIS thread (QuickShutdown)
n-Joie! (Enjoy)

Unpack it and put enywhere (in example: "Windows" or "Program Files" and run).
Greetings.

Doesn't that just wake the keyboard? And not the screen?
Get a registry editor (Total Commander, Resco, Regedit... whichever you prefer)
Go to
HKLM/Hardware/DeviceMap/Keybd
edit the existing key of SlideWakeup or create the key SlideWakeup as a dword value and set to 1 to enable or 0 to disable this wake up on slide out.
Soft reset and enjoy.
This should work on any device (with a keyboard) any rom. 6.0, 6.1 or 6.5.
Personally, I hate wake up on slide out as it causes the phone to wake up in my pocket and always have to add this key to disable it.
