Disabling backlight on notification

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!

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:

Treo 750. screen & keyboard lock problems...HELP NEEDED

Before, when I pressed the call end button(red button) my screen would go black. This was good because I had keyguard enabled. Now I think one of the apps I installed took the ability to lock the device with this one button.
Is there some kind of registry edit or phone option which can make the call end button lock my device????

have you checked your keyguard and lock settings? what are they set to?

PROBLEM SOLVED. HTC HOME plugin seems to disable some of the effects of pressing the (send) and (end) button. If you enable Dial Lookup on the Today setting it fixes the problem.

Thanks mate, I flashed my treo over a year ago but I don't use him quite alot because of the red button problem. Never thought that the solution was so simple...

Keep fuze from turning off the screen during call?

Ok new annoying problem. Has anyone noticed that when you call your voice mail by the time you are ready to delete the message the damn screen is off and you have to wake it back up with the power button?
Is there a way to keep the screen from turning off? or for it to wake up when you take it away from your ear?
Im guessing the light sensor is turning it off when its next to your ear so your face dosent "push buttons". Thats merely just a guess I really have no clue. I guess it could just be a timer thing.

its an option if you get advanced config in the diamond section you can adjust it

I may be a moron (that's usually the case) but I installed the Advanced Config from touchxperience.com and I do not see this option. Is this the same cab that's in the diamond section?

This is the same problem with Tilt
This was the same problem with the tilt and I'm amazed it is still in the fuze as HTC released a hotfix for the tilt. They must have known it was an issue all along.
Maybe the tilt hotfix would work on the fuze?
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=1&dl_id=269
I didn't want to try it in case it had a undesired effect and i'm not setup right now to fix any issues...

I installed it the same advance config it shows the option on the list on the website. but its def not on the list on the phone. :-(

watching...

any new ideas?

search for diamond tweak or advance config.....the option is there. just disable sleep and fast sleep.

Can anyone verify that the latest Diamond Tweak will work on the AT&T Fuze default ROM. I know I can always hard reset, but I have my phone setup and working just about the way I want.

i installed romeos i used advanced config and it worked

In Advanced Config > Phone > Phone Sleep During Call
And Advanced Config > Phone > Fast Sleep During Call
I have those both set to "Not Allowed"
Still, the screen switches off during calls...

i used the Diamond Tweak and disabled both Fast Sleep, and Sleep.
Doesn't turn off during calls now.

I can confirm that Advanced Config on my stock Fuze does NOT have those options
Used Diamond Tweaks to do it

I emailed HTC support about this issue. Here is there response.
"We do apologize for your frustration, however there is no possible way to keep the screen lit up while on a call as it is like that for a purpose. the purpose is to avoid the pressing of the on screen buttons while on a call. If you would like to reactivate the screen while on a call you can simply press the power button and it will wake the screen backup."

It would be nice to have the phone behave exactly like an iphone during a call. Using the accelerometer to turn on and off the screen.

I already searched and found what I believe to be the diamond tweak you are all talking about...
But just to be sure, would someone mind linking to it, so I know I'm using the same thing that worked for you guys?
Thanks

I tried Diamond Tweak with my phone and it does not work for me.

Diamond Tweak works on my fuze.

This tip doesn't help the Fuze screen "stay on" but it can be used to at least turn the screen on easier while in call. Just hit the volume key (up or down) and the screen will pop back on. For a moment it shows the volume setting but then goes back to the home screen. I'm not using the TouchFlo shell so in my case it pops back to my home screen.

try a search in this forum for a file called No_Sleep_Raph
There is a catch you will loose mute phone on flip.
I would like to see this regedit as a program so you can turn it on or off rather then default on. Cause I keep hitting the screen buttons during a call

is it possible to turn off touch screen dialing?

Hi,
what i want to do is disable the touch screen dialing so that i can only start a phone call by pressing the "pick up phone" button. is this possible?
reason being is because whilst looking through my contacts and menus it is so simple to accidently start a phone call when i dont want to.
this must be a common complaint surely?
thanks
