hi there,
i get bored of message "Power will be turned off..." that pop-up often on my polaris.
from what can this message come from ?
i use S2U2 can this be the cause ?
This message should only pop-up when you longpress the power button on the top of the device
it seems to appear randomly, whatever i am doing, or when device is in standby.
i will do a rom change this week, perhaps a new romms + tested app could resolve this pb.
maybe your power button is "stuck"...
sorry my english

I'd really like to be able to put my device to sleep, without having to background whatever app I'm using.
It's very strange. I don't think I've seen another phone that doesn't have a separate power button, from the exit this app button.
Any ideas?
Hmm.
No one has any idea?
I know that riddled throughout this board there are probably a half a dozen apps to turn off your phone, and activate the keylock. Does anyone have any suggestions for some good ones, that I could then assign to the "hold and run" button on the left of the Treo?
Ones that work with WM6?
I'm really surprised that other people don't even seem to want or care about this. The only real advantage of WM6 over PalmOS .. to me... are things like multitasking.
What good is a phone that won't let you keep an app on the screen? Why would I want to constantly have to bring apps to the front again and again and again? I want to be able to turn off my phone, turn it on.. make an entry in an app, and turn it off again, all without opening and closing the app.
Gee.. how strange!
WM devices are 'Today' screen based, hence it automatically switch back to Today screen after a set period of time. You can't change this 'habbit', but you can prolong the period of time.
Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Today -> Items -> Today timeout

This has nothing to do with what I'm asking about, but it is helpful info. However, my today option has the ability to turn off the today timeout altogether. Perhaps it is WM6 based?
Regardless, I'm talking.. again.. about the screen off button of the treo.. that is also the exit button, that is also the end call button.

Lets quote what you have said above. "What good is a phone that won't let you keep an app on the screen? Why would I want to constantly have to bring apps to the front again and again and again? I want to be able to turn off my phone, turn it on.. make an entry in an app, and turn it off again, all without opening and closing the app."
If you turn off the timeout, the last app will stay when you switch off your phone (e.g. the Today will not appear and sending your app background).
If this REALLY doesnt have NOTHING to do with what you are asking for, I surrender and good luck on your quest.

I had two separate posts above, and of course they are related in this thread. Context, my man. My first post clearly talks about how my issue is with the power button, and how my issue has to do with the power button forcing you back to the today screen before it will let you power off the unit.
Fair enough, you missed my first post, and only read my second post in this same thread. No harm done.
I am also mystified why the power button constantly forces screen back to Home....I would think this is a real pain for most people??
Any fixes/hacks?
TIA
To do what you want, there's an usefull application: AE Button Plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php) This small applicacion allows you to remap buttons. To switch off the screen what I've done is assign the action "switch off device"
Thast's all
Way off topic... but you wouldn't happen to be the Brad Barnett from The Mustang Source forums, would you?

Back on topic.....
I tried AEBP but this only seems to "Switch Display On/Off" during a phone call, NOT when in an application.
I don't see a "Switch Off Device" option. Did I miss something?

I found "Power off" (I think it was called that) in the list of options to assign to a button. I assigned it to "hold side button", one click. My device now shuts off when I hold that button in.
Thanks to the dude that suggested this! Now to see how it affects my device...
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!
GM.
I was a bit surprised to just discover, by accident, that whenever I press any of the front hardware buttons when my device is in standby then the Touch Cruise doesn't completely ignore them, it switches on the button-panel lights for a while and then they go off after the timeout. For the red hangup key it also makes a beep when the button is pressed as well as activating the button lights.
As far as I can tell this is all the device does, it doesn't switch on the screen or activate any of the functions associated with the buttons I press (as far as I can tell) but I still worry that if I accidentally get the TC in a position in my pocket (when I'm driving or just sitting down for instance) where I'm constantly activating a button then after a few hours I could either drain the battery unnecessarily by keeping the button lights permanently on and/or I could crash the device by swamping it with button-pressed messages.
Do other people see the same behaviour when their TC is in standby and is there any hack to disable this?

Try going into Settings - System - Key Lock
and change it to the top option "Lock all buttons except power button"
Same suggestion - doesn't make a sound here
That DOES happen when he is locked and NOT in standby. Still then - the volume keys work which is not really desired but hey...
Thank you mouseymousey and SabbeRubbish. You fixed my problem, but not in the way you probably intended.
I'd just been narrow minded and assumed that, if this option was available, it would be in the Button settings app so I hadn't seen the Key Lock settings app. Thanks to you both I found this and, guess what, the top "Lock all buttons except power button" WAS set but my buttons still activated the backlight and sometimes beeped.
Confused, I changed the option to the bottom "Do not lock buttons" and it behaved as expected, i.e. any button press completely woke up the device. I then set the option back to the top "Lock all buttons except power button" and this time my problem is solved, i.e. no reaction whatsoever from pressing the front buttons.
Wierd. My TC obviously got itself into an odd state and toggling the button lock preference seems to have fixed it. I'll keep an eye on this one.
Thanks again for the invaluable advice.

I shouldn't let misleading info lie here so here's my confession. This issue turned out to be nothing to do with my device getting confused about its key lock setting. The fact that it fixed itself when I toggled the key lock setting was a coincidence, what I did at the same time as toggling the setting was to also close down Conduits PocketPlayer which I had still minimised and running (although not playing any music) in the background.
The problem appears to be with PocketPlayer (PP) and is 100% reproducible. If PP is still running (even minimized) when the device is put into standby then I get the behaviour described in my initial post, close down PP before going into standby and everything is OK and the front buttons are totally inactive.
I have of course filed a bug with Conduits but the good news is that noone needs to worry about any generic TC/WM6 wierdness here.

Hello,
Is there an option to disable something like "wake up on new call". Because everytime I get a call my pocket pushes the aswer/ignore button, so I need somthing like a regkey to edit, that the call does come in, but the screen stays off until I hit the "on" button on top of the device.
Thanks!
It's a known issue but this will fix it:

I would like to kill the program altogether , ,just going to setting s > speech >unchecking and turning off , doesnt get rid of that annoying feature , if you lay the phone down, or touch somewhere on the phone the goddamn thing pops up up and you have to hit the home button to get rid of it, then you lost whatever else you were doing as well!
It only pops up if you keep the home key pressed for 3 seconds and even then you can just hit the back key to exit.
