Ofcourse I can lock the screen by pressing the power button (and having de XDA go standby), but I wish to lock the screen while listening to mp3's.... How can I lock the screen ? If I need a separate application, please let me know your suggestions ....

If you meant that you wanted to switch off the screen without putting the XDA on standby, here's how. Just assign one of the buttons to "Screen Toggle" when Windows Media Player is running. On the Windows Media Player menu, select Tools->Settings->Buttons. Then map one of the buttons, such as Button 2 (Contacts), to "Screen Toggle". After that, pressing the mapped button will switch the screen on and off.

I tried this 3 times and each time when I press the button (I assigned button 3- the camera button) I got a strange black and white flashing strobe on the screen which I couldnt get out of without a soft reset. Anyone else had this or knows how to deal with it?

Dunno how to deal with it but I can confirm that I have exactly the same issue. Screen Toggling does not work and ends up in a flash show that doesn't look very healthy for the display.
works fine on xda 1 running ppc2003 :\ any programs to make the screen do this automatically? say if i was to run tomtom gps?

Work's fine with my XDA2, no problems at all, I assigned button 2 to the screen.
no problem doing it for me with xda with 2002 rom 3.1804
Also works fine on my XDA II. have you tried using the Calenda/Contacts buttons to toggle the screen instead of the camera button? Just a thought.
try this nifty lil program i found on emule works great on pc2002/2003 i have jog button installed to my calendar button just press the button and the screens off press power button to turn back on very simple or hold my calendar button down and the calendar coems up
just transfer to your xda/pda and click it to turn screen off or toggle it to one of your buttons

Screenoff works perfect, but how do you manage to let the calendar button have a double function?
Found a prog cald jogbutton here http://www.yorch.net/downloads/JogButtonSetup.zip, but this doesn't seem to work on Pocket PC PE 2003.
job button works fine on ppc2003 i have it on my xda :\ just assign calendar or contacts to job button then load up jog button click on setup then apply it to the progs you want it to open.
prob i found with pc2002 with screen off is it doesnt come back on with the power button lol so here is screen on for peeps with pc2003 no need to install this if on pc2003 as it works fine on it
use button plus v2.0 from yorches site i find it better then jog button as it allows double tap buttons and doesnt go crazy when turniong screen off on tomtom 2 lol

I'm not withyou on this jog button thing bro. Can you talk us thru it again from the start. I have this program installed and cant get it to do anything. Much thanx...
install jog button then.....
assign either contacts or the calendar button to the shortcut in th startmenu so it starts up jog button.
then hold the button down you assigned it too....
you will see setup appear i nthe bottom left hand corner with the button still held in click on setup using the stylus then assign programs from within that menu its very simple to do :roll:
anyway found a better program its called button plus v2.0 download it from yorches site in the software section works much nicer
everything I have is in German (I think), does anyone have a english manual, and or be able to advise me how to perform a hard reset?

Totally wrong.
Press and hold the Comm Manager and Voice Record buttons.
Keep hold of these buttons and momentarily press the soft rest button with the stylus.
Carry on holding the side buttons for about 5 seconds until a black and white warning message appears on the screen
Release the side buttons and press the Green Send key to perform the Hard Reset.
Sounds complicated, but isn't once you know how.
Or you could use Start / Programs / Clear Storage. (I've deleted the shortcut to the latter because it's FAR too dangerous when someone else is playing with your phone!)
I need to make a hardreset om my Cruise. It wount start up.
What do I have to do?.
See 13.3 of your manual!
Press and hold the GPS and IE buttons, and at the same time use the stylus to press the reset button at the bottom of your device.
A message will appear and then you can release the buttons and press the send button (call).
Thanks, you saved my day.
I'm at work an the manual is at home.
Yes and for those looking for the "send" button, it is in fact the "green" button ;-)
Please let me know the sequence of buttons to press for a HARD RESET in Wizard.
Thanks.
please take some time to read the wizard wiki page, you'll learn alot
Press the comm manager button+voice dial button and hold this 2 buttons. Then make soft reset with stylus and u have to hold this 2 button so long, that u see a message on the screen.
Is it possible to get rid of the action screen that pop-up after pressing the Power-Off hardware button to turn the phone of?
The action screen is both annyoing, useless and slow and I'd love for the HD2 to simply shut down after pressing the power button for a few seconds like most phones do. Is there an app/patch or registry mod to totally bypass/eliminate the action screen?
Thanks for the advice
Try this cab it works for me short press is like normal and long press is a reset

No, this makes it reset, now I dont even have a way to turn the phone off except taking the battery out. I need a TurnOff_EndKey not Reset_EndKey
Thanks anyway
