Hi everyone,
Do you know any free application that allows the user to turn off the device without pressing any hardware button (just like you do on a real PC) ?
Maybe is it possible to do it with WM 6.5 ?

I'm using NRG's rom and it has got a backlight program (I think it's standard for wm 6.1/5). Open the program and click on menu, there you can click on SCREEN OFF. The screen will then turn off.
Cheers!
Thanks for the answer but I'm not searching for an app to turn off the screen but to turn the whole phone off.
Can you you think of any app compatible with the diamond 2 ?

Oh ok...yes no problem.
Try this application, works very well. Just install it and when you click on it, it will turn off your phone.
Cheers!
Or you could try this app - its a 12 button action screen which includes a button to turn off the phone - very useful and works great on topaz phones
Thanks a lot both of you
"TD2ShutDown.CAB" was the exact file I was looking for simple & efficient. Thanks a lot Lobo81.
Did you program the file yourself ?
You're welcome!!
No, I did not program the application, all credit goes to the maker. I have no idea from whom it is, I got it in this forum though.
Greets!

It's BUILT in ....
Start/ParametersSecurity/Lock
You have to choose how long (60 sec etc) and a code pin to lock .
BUT
I believe there is another option to lock automatically without a pin code.
Simply hold the red button and your phone will be locked.

Er... I think he knows the red button locks the device, he's searching for an auto-lock function.

OK
You're right Kevin, I've searched for an auto lock program.
I've tried the Maniac tools. It's TOTALLY perfect. I like a lot the custom screen saver function.
Many thanks for your hint !
I use smart toolkit from e-native
http://www.e-natives.web.id/
it's free but does more than just auto lock...you can cut and paste several items, adds a task manager bar, lets you take screen shots, it's really cool, but at first it's not very easy to use...however, now I absolutely love it

...I use this mainly to do dynamic overclocking on my Wizard, but it has the option for "device lock on wakeup". when I've finished with my phone, I turn the display off and I'm good to go. Not quite an autokeylock but in use I prefer it...

Really would like to have this key lock feature. Any idea and guidence to sort this problem out.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I am looking for a lock feature that locks the phone simply when you depress the power button. I have come accross all sorts of fancy ways of locking the phone, but not this.
Can someone please point me to this tweak (if it is indeed available)
Try the Advanced Settings of Sensorlock.
Ther is a option in AdvancedConfig, to do exaxtly that

ok - installed. seems to be what I want. Thanks!
If I don't want to enable that feature in Advanced Configuration tool, is there another way to get to it? Or is there a Cab/App That I can use to lock unlock my phone? I like that ACT lets you lock the screen by pushine the power button, but sometime I just want to turn off the screen not lock it,,,

I can't seem to find this option in Advanced Config 3.3 either.
I'm sure it's probably a well known tip but I only just found it out (Got my Touch Pro yesterday) that you can hold the call end key to lock the device, which is better than nothing but I'd still rather have a way of making the power button do this too.

Ok, another question on the topic is there a way to add a lock button to the touchflo homepage?
Full Lock???
I have this thing that is bothering me.
When I have my Fuze on my belt ( screen locked using S2U2 ) and I activate Voice Command to make a call or just answer a call using my BT Headset the phone menu will come on with a big end call button in the middle.
Without fail I would move around and nudge the phone with the right force through the case and hang up on whoever I was talking to.
Is there an option in the S2U2 or another way of locking the phone so that when the screen is locked it's really locked?
thanks!
I reflashed and now can't get my device to lock when I press the power button. The device won't lock at all, even when I hold the end key.
How did you get it to lock when you press the power button?
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.

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.

There's a button to do that. Why do you need software?
Anyway, I'm not sure if this is for power off or screen off, and there currently isn't a definite answer on the thread (or in the OP!)

Thanks. I can understand a software button so you can quicklink and have 1 touch for power off, but can't understand one for locking the device. We already have a dedicated button for that.

well in this case install S2U2 and paste a link in the shortcut and then your problem is solved. otherwise install one touch power button and it makes your device sleep right away and at the same time locked
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.
