I use Ozi Explorer as a Offroad Navigation System with voice guidance - normaly. But at the topaz, gps is off at the moment, the screen is off. (On my former P525, GPS kept running).
Is there a tweak to keep GPS running, without having the screen to be on??

Hello
I ran into the same issue with ozi explorer. And the solution that work for me is:
-In Ozi, from the filemenu, choose "lock/display" then "display off".
-Then press the hardware "hang up/home"button once. (this takes you back to home screen, (of course you can´t see it though because the screen is off ).
-Then hold down homebutton again until the phone vibrates and the keylock is activated.
Now you can´t accidentally press any keys.
To wake it up, simply use the standard button on top of the phone, deactivate key lock. And re-enter Ozi.
For me It works fine, Gps keeps the fix, so i can record tracks while screen is off.
Hope It helps u
I'm using this cab to use the gps when device is in standby. I don't know if it is good for what you want. I've got it from here, in xda-devs forum, but I don't remember the topic. Simply put the exe file to your device (storage card or device) and run it. Press ON and then close it. If you want to revert, just run the program again and press OFF and close it.

..thanks; can you tell me what the exe file exact does???
Thanks,

I must admit I've never had a problem with GPS when the phone goes into standby. I use sportypal for tracking my runs (ugh - that sounds gross, but honestly it's not!!) and it always continues to log my progress even in standby.
Memory Map
I use Memory Map when out cycling. I start the program, then press the power button to switch off the screen. At the end of my journey, I press the power button to re-activate the screen. The whole journey is logged.
I didn't need to add anything to my Topaz, so I guess the problem is with Ozi Explorer.

Is Sportypal installed internally or on storage card?

Hello,
Is it posible to call task manager in games or other full screen programs where all HW buttons are reassigned to them?
I have tryed to assign task manager to HW key in Windows settings, but it doesnt work in games etc. Only thing that woks almost every time was HTC Cube from Touch FLO v2, but it was more bad than good (because sliding up is quite common move in games) and I am not using HTC Cube at all now.
So is there any way (by long press of any button for example or special touch move), any program or any task manager where such thing is possible and works in every (or most of) game and full screen program?
Any help will be great,
thanks.
Why do you need to reach the task manager from the games?
Because some programs running in full sreen (and not necessarily games) stop responding, dont have exit button, hang-up... and I cant escape them other than soft-reseting the device.
So I need something how to reach task manager from these stucked programs and close them without reseting.
Also sometimes could be handy, if I can minimize them and switch to other program (SMS, music player etc.) and than go back. But still most important is the first thing.
Every program except the games can be minimized whith the red button... but I don't know if the WM6 can handle hung programs as a normal desktop OS... even if it comes around it's still faster to do a soft-reset (in most cases)...
Yeah I am talking about programs where red button is remaped or not working at all.
So there is no possibility how to close such apps without SR?

not really... unless some1 knows otherwise...
Yes, it a Multi-Task device, but don't expect it to handle crashed apps like the desktop versions of Windows..
Ok, thanks,
even if I dont mean directly "crashed" apps like on desktop PC. But sometimes it didnt have hw exit button and touch screen didnt reponding or something like that.
Never mind I keep SR device
I use GPSCycleComputer for the Diamond on my HTC Touch HD (with great success) but due to the way the GPS drivers have been implemented, if I power the THD off, the GPS drops off.
I have done a search within the archive and there was some code which could be written into a program but nothing that appeared to be a standalone application.
I also note that someone has written an application called MagicMobile which is really overkill for what I want. Is it possible to have this as a standalone application?
Thanks
Have you tried turning the screen off? Instead of pressing the power button and suspend the HD, you can use turn the screen off. That way your HTC will still be working.
Really numpty question, how do I do that manually? I can time out the screen using screen/power parameters but would like a shortcut to do this.
I have WkTask which has a an option but I use WAD2 for everything and would like to create a .lnk file to link to from the Apps screen I have.
Thanks in advance
As we know, WM has its oem locker, which can turn off (suspend) the device after some time period. This unfortunetaly turns off allso gps module.
I want to turn off my device when using GPS for tracking routes (Ozi Explorer), which means turning off display, locking hw buttons, but lets GPS working.
I looking for some app, that can do "turn off my device without turning odd gps" by one of the following:
* g-sensor
* nav sensor
* 2 hw buttons combination
* power button (instead of WM "complete" turning off)
Do you know about some app which can do that?
Touchlockpro, what is great app, unfortunetaly does not support G and NAV sensors in Diamond 2). I did not find any solution yet.
What do you use for tracking route with GPS for power management?
Thanks a lot
Ozi Explorer can do this without any additional software (File - Lock) ...
You can modify your Screen with Ozi Screen Designer, and then you have every function just a click away. The purple button on the screenshot
locks the keys and turns off the screen, logging continues ...

With that setup only screen is turned off, hw keys are not locked, but as I can see there are ways to configure it. I will try Ozi Screen designer. Thanks for perfect tip.

uuups, you're right, seems to be a problem with the Screen Designer CE. The function is definitively 'Display Off and Lock', but the keys are not really locked ... at least not on the TD2 ...
Edit: Just tried it again, Screen Off & Lock doesn't Lock the keys on TD2, no matter if you use the Menu to lock or a special Box in a custom design. On the TD1 it works as it should, so there's a different way to lock the keys on the TD2.
Hey all,
First, I'd like to say that so far the Touch Pro 2 is freaking awesome, but It's been doing something since I got it that is driving me up the wall;
So, say I'm in gsplayer or Opera, and for whatever reason, the screen turns off ( I hit the power button, it times out for power conservation, whatever... ). Whenever I turn the screen back on, the Clock in Touch Flow 3D shows up. GAH >_<
Is there any way to just open the phone back up to what I was looking at when the screen turned off? Help me XDA-Developers, you're my only hope!
-AceSmythe
update:
I went to the home configuration and disabled TouchFlo 3D , and it doesn't revert to the home screen when I reset
Does anyone know how to tell TouchFlo 3D to not re-assert itself every time I turn the screen on? I didn't see anything obvious in the registery
Thanks,
AceSmythe
I have a Touch Diamond 2 and i don't have this problem..
When i just hit the power button to turn the screen off, and 1 minute later when i turn it back on, everything is still the same as i left it. All the programs are still opened.
Maybe you hit the right 'hang up' key?? Because when you press it you go back to the homescreen
I'm pretty sure I know the difference between the power button at the top of the device and the hang up button near the bottom, thanks.
Anyone around who actually has a Touch Pro 2?
I have this issue with my Blackstone, using Duttys 3.9.
I have seen this issue before and as far as i have found out there is no soution to this. The only thing that could help is turning off the Msofts LOCK app. Unfortunately mine is on due to exchange security policy.
If your lock is not on, then im afraid i dont know

What does that app do and how would I turn it off?
I also went into the registry and disabled the Home tab for TouchFlo 3D, but the issue persists
( registry entry HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration\0\Enable , set to 0 )
To any who are curious, this appears to be a viable method of removing Home, Programs, and Settings from the TouchFlo 3D tabs. On my device, 0 is Home, 2 is Programs, and 12 is settings
On another note that's completely unrelated, don't install the SRSwow control panel if you don't have drivers/hardware for it. It completely crippled the speakers and mic on the phone, and Voice Command ( voicecommand.exe ) freaked out whenever I tried to start it. Luckily, removing the software through Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs and doing a full reset fixed everything
( above 2 paragraphs included for people Googling either issue )
Anyway, back to the home screen thing... any other thoughts?

If you are using the lock app (which locks the screen) you can turn it off/on by going to (on my HD) settings/all settings/personal/lock and disable it if enabled.
It may not help you, but is a known issue regarding this particular problem.
Greetz.
Have you unchecked the today timeout?
Go to Settings/Personal/Today/Items and make sure it's unchecked.

Yes and makes no difference, but cheers for the idea.
Yeah, that was the first thing I tried aswell
** Warning **
Do not install the TouchFlo Detacher, it WILL break TouchFlo on your system
See http://freewareppc.com/utilities/touchflodetacher.shtml , then avoid it like the plauge
-AceSmythe
Sorry for the lateness of this post, after a full wipe and reinstall of everything ( after the TouchFlo 3D disaster mentioned above ) the home screen does not assert itself anymore. Per suggestion, I did not enable the lock. I'd test turning on the lock and off again, but I don't want to push my luck
Thanks one and all

Mod Edit : No probelms, but no need for the final comment, so I have removed it
Now what would really solve this if you could check the registery to find the key responsible. I will have a look at mine in depth but i fear i will not find it.
Cheers.

I've been all up and down that thing and either I'm just ignorant of some term that I should be looking for or there's just no entry for it
Maybe someone could write an app to fix it or a replacement locking app

Hello,
I have an HTC Touch Cruise with windows mobile 6.1. I use it on my motorcycle with TOMTOM NAVIGATOR, and earphones. I config TOMTOM, push the today screen and lock my phone. It works perfect for 10 min.
After the 10 min, windows mobile displays a message:
"TOMTOM NAVIGATOR is still running an using the battery would you like to close NAVIGATOR", you must aswer the question with YES or NO.
If you do not answer the question, windows mobile close the NAVIGATION software. > very irritating....
Is there an solution to disable this battery saving function, so the NAVIGATION software must never stop automatically...
Thanks
I think you should go check out the Power configuration. it seems to be that after 10min the phone goes in standby mode.

Yes just power off and wait.
no solution
No that not the problem, i hav already tried. Look also at the picture
well, then it's caused by the software it self. did you go through the setting of tomtom? i'm sure you can disable it. but how do you use it when you go to the today screen?only with the headphones?

ah, now I understands this. so you minimize tomtom window!
I was so shure something is stealing focus from it but you've been doing it yourself
well then solution is easy, tomtom has to be on top. There is no option to disable this popup feature.
You need a diferent screen screen locker, you can't minimize TT (going to today screen)
try the one I am posting here, map it to a button (long press green)
this is from PHM tools, quite old, it will blank screen (no input possible)
to unblock you need to press 'action' button.
If this won't work, I am quite sure another will. search forum for one,
eventually you can set up autolock, but that's not too practical, you wound need to wait for it to lock screen before driving.
OR by doing this script:
- you run TT
- start the script and it would:
1. press start
2. press left softkey
3. return focus to TT
try all above options first, if nothing I can write you this script.
