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.
When my HTC pro is locked the both volume buttons still work.
Is there a way to disable these 2 buttons when my phone is locked, the should only work if the HTC pro is not locked!
How can I change this?
good question. I would like to know as well...
a friend of mine told me, htat the diamond has got the buttons locked in locked mode, too.
2 of my working partners have both a touch diamond and they both confirmed that the button keys are turned off when the phone is locked.
you guys should check out the sensor lock app, it's free and by a peep on here, it's pretty good
this app is quite cool (sensorlock), but we just want a simple lock of the volume buttons when the device is locked by the default procedure.
sensorlock does not what i want.
I just want the default lock in wm to lock the volume keys.
So if I press the "end call" and hold it down the phone locks, it should also lock the volume keys, the on/off button should NOT be locked!
More function I do not need for locking.
It would be OK if a app does the same with a software/sensor lock function, but important is that it is enabled by long press of end call button.
Sorry no answer to your question but I agree: the fact that the volume buttons are not locked is really annoying!
volume buttons not locked
They are locked on my original Dutch T-Mobile Rom.
(and yes, I've checked that)
On my vodafone rom not, I am now runnin romeos and on this rom there are also not locked.
Note: we are speaking here about the default lock of the OS, NOT the sensorlock! So holding down the "end all button" for approx 2 seconds. The phone now locks itself and display is dimped, now all keys execpt the on/off and volume keys are locked. What I want is that volume keys are also locked.
It is possible to lock the volume keys using apps such as sensorlock, but this lock does not work with the end call button, you must rotate the phone of use the stylus to (un)lock it.
tis true. when locked, volume buttons work. when display is off, they do not
3 Australia Rom also comes with this problem. It would be interesting to know how they fixed it in the T Mobile Dutch rom.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not really, it does not what I ask
I just want: lock using hold own end key, all keys (including volume) are OFF.
This tool does not do this, if I set is using wm in lock modus the volume keys still work, all other options are not for me...
It is great that people suggest which tools to use for locking but please only suggest a tool which locks does exactly as I ask.
If anyone Finds an answer to this I would love to know as well!
yeah kinda of a big problem. I lock the phone. Put it on vibrate or silent and put it in my pocket. because of the location of the keys, it sometimes increases the volume. Quite annoying since use an mp3player where i go, i don't hear my phone (thats why i prefer to use only vibrate).
Turning the display off is a workaround that helps a bit.. but that button also works when locked (not weird ofcourse)
Nevermind, I've found the best way to get past this is after locking the phone (by holding the end call key) if you press the power key and release it puts it into "Sleep Mode" and turns off the screen. After this the volume keys cannot be used unless you press and release the power button to wake it up.
Seems to cure my problem.
any person can help me how enable volume buttons when device is locked ?
rom: ROMeOS ver.1.70.3
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?
-m
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..
-m
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
Precursors to behaviour:
-Pin security is set (required by exhange email policy)
-an ap in full screen (such as google clock) stays open past the security timeout
When I close that ap and return to the homescreen and subsequently fast press the power button to lock the screen the following happens:
-Screen goes blank (as it should) BUT...
-Fast press the power button fails to wake the phone
-Long press of the power button does not power off the phone
-Touch buttons light but the phone is otherwise blank/black and unresponsive
Ultimately, a battery pull is required to reboot the phone.
This has happened with both cognition and di11igaf's rom (the one I am currently using) and seems to be 2.2 related as rogers 2.1 only required the pin when powering up and used the slider for sleep.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Cheers!
I should also add that using SGS Info to change the "Power" button action in your phone will fix this, but only because it removes the lock screen entirely, negating any security you might want to implement (including the plain swipe option)
Wrong forum category perhaps?
I'm using Tasker to disable the key guard when connected to home wifi. Most of the time this works. But quite often after I've connected to wifi and the key guard has been disabled it will become enabled again (usually after I press the "Home" button on the phone).
Have you guys experienced this and is there a way to prevent this from happening?
i have same problem on desire, villainrom 3.3
And if i turn screen off it dissapears ,but after another home button press, it appears again.
