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

To lock the keys on the treo 750 you hold the option key then press the red hangup/power button. option+power that is.
Does anyone know how to bind a key so that this will work?
For instance... I currently am using AE Buttons on my treo and want to map the red power button to lock the keys if I press and hold it.
help!
Why wouldn't you just set the keyguard to always lock when power is switched off?
Then it requires no keypresses to lock the device, it always wakes up locked.
Settings-Keyguard-"When power is turned off".
One of my favorite Treo features.
ahh sweet, didnt know that option was there.. thanks
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.
So I'm looking for a Lock Screen program that will fit my needs and so far I've come up very blank...
Here are my needs:
1. Lock the screen when I hit the power button.
2. Prevent the phone from powering off when holding down the End Key when the device is locked.
My device is a Touch Pro 2. The built in Lock screen works great at preventing a power down, but it doesn't lock when I press the power button.
Most of the replacement programs S2U2, PocketShield, TouchLockPro, LockMeLite... they all lock when I hit the power button but they don't prevent powering off when holding down the End Key. S2U2 is supposed to have a setting that will lock this but it doesn't work.
So, any recommendations?
Okay, I found a program (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649695&highlight=lock) that makes the default lock screen show up whenever the system goes into stand by.
Is there any way, when using the default windows lock program that comes with the Verizon Wireless Touch Pro2, to make the phone lock when pressing the power button on top?
I'm struggling to find a program that will prevent my phone from powering down when I have it in my belt holster. Most of the replacement programs out there do NOT prevent the phone from turning off by holding down the end key when the screen is locked. The only lock program that I found that can is the default lock program. But that won't automatically lock the phone when I press the power button on top. It will only lock if it tap the 'lock' soft key.
Any suggestions?
Found my solution! A little program that causes the lock to happen whenever the phone goes into standby.

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
