Hello,
I want to use my Touch Pro for music, so I use WinvibePro. Well I set everything right. I made my left button for previous song, and the right button for the next song. Up for volume up and Down for Volume down. And the middle action button for pause. When I use it everything works just fine. But when I put the screen off(Not with the powerbutton), the Right and left buttons don't work how I want to let them work. For example; When the screen is off, and I play music, I press the right button, the screen goes on and it doesn't do anything else. When I press it again, it does play the next song. But not when the screen is off.. I want the screen to stay off. Is there anybody who knows how to fix this? Or could fix it?
Thanks in advance

Ofcourse I can lock the screen by pressing the power button (and having de XDA go standby), but I wish to lock the screen while listening to mp3's.... How can I lock the screen ? If I need a separate application, please let me know your suggestions ....

If you meant that you wanted to switch off the screen without putting the XDA on standby, here's how. Just assign one of the buttons to "Screen Toggle" when Windows Media Player is running. On the Windows Media Player menu, select Tools->Settings->Buttons. Then map one of the buttons, such as Button 2 (Contacts), to "Screen Toggle". After that, pressing the mapped button will switch the screen on and off.

I tried this 3 times and each time when I press the button (I assigned button 3- the camera button) I got a strange black and white flashing strobe on the screen which I couldnt get out of without a soft reset. Anyone else had this or knows how to deal with it?

Dunno how to deal with it but I can confirm that I have exactly the same issue. Screen Toggling does not work and ends up in a flash show that doesn't look very healthy for the display.
works fine on xda 1 running ppc2003 :\ any programs to make the screen do this automatically? say if i was to run tomtom gps?

Work's fine with my XDA2, no problems at all, I assigned button 2 to the screen.
no problem doing it for me with xda with 2002 rom 3.1804
Also works fine on my XDA II. have you tried using the Calenda/Contacts buttons to toggle the screen instead of the camera button? Just a thought.
try this nifty lil program i found on emule works great on pc2002/2003 i have jog button installed to my calendar button just press the button and the screens off press power button to turn back on very simple or hold my calendar button down and the calendar coems up
just transfer to your xda/pda and click it to turn screen off or toggle it to one of your buttons

Screenoff works perfect, but how do you manage to let the calendar button have a double function?
Found a prog cald jogbutton here http://www.yorch.net/downloads/JogButtonSetup.zip, but this doesn't seem to work on Pocket PC PE 2003.
job button works fine on ppc2003 i have it on my xda :\ just assign calendar or contacts to job button then load up jog button click on setup then apply it to the progs you want it to open.
prob i found with pc2002 with screen off is it doesnt come back on with the power button lol so here is screen on for peeps with pc2003 no need to install this if on pc2003 as it works fine on it
use button plus v2.0 from yorches site i find it better then jog button as it allows double tap buttons and doesnt go crazy when turniong screen off on tomtom 2 lol

I'm not withyou on this jog button thing bro. Can you talk us thru it again from the start. I have this program installed and cant get it to do anything. Much thanx...
install jog button then.....
assign either contacts or the calendar button to the shortcut in th startmenu so it starts up jog button.
then hold the button down you assigned it too....
you will see setup appear i nthe bottom left hand corner with the button still held in click on setup using the stylus then assign programs from within that menu its very simple to do :roll:
anyway found a better program its called button plus v2.0 download it from yorches site in the software section works much nicer
is there a program or something that I can lock the screen with one finger,
to lock the screen I have to hit the White button and the End button at the same time..
I tried hitting the white button twice and trhen the End and it does not work.
is there a program that I could just use to hold the "OK" button or something like that.
ideas, ??
thx

If you set keyguard to "when power is turnoff"
Then when you push the red button (end) the screen will go black, with keygaurd on - Locked.
Is that what you want.
well.. not really..
the reason i want to be able to lock the phone wile in a phone call. the red button will hang up the call.. so what I do is hit the Solid white button and then the Red button, thats fine, but its hard to do when on a call.. and I don't want to disable the touch screen when on a call because sometimes with my BT Headset I use it. and it can't be re-enabled .. (if there is a way I would love to know about it)
thanks.

Hi all
I've had my Omnia for a few weeks now and love just about everything about it now that I've tweaked it to suit me. I've set up the M2D system and think it handles great.
There's just one thing that I'd like to change and I wondered if anyone may have found a solution for me. When you lock the keys/screen by pressing and holding the 'end' button, the volume buttons can still be used - I thought I'd switched my phone to vibrate mode and gone into a meeting but must have caught the volume button a few times because halfway through the meeting my phone started screaming out Paradise City by Guns N Roses at almost full volume when a call came in, which was very embarrasing!
Anyhow - if anyone knows of a way to also lock the volume buttons along with the rest of the hardware buttons and the screen upon pressing and holding the 'end' button, I'd really appreciate the details.
Thanks in advance.
just hold the NO button to lock all the buttons instead of using power button to lock the phone.
i found the way to stop that i had the same problem and all you need to do is go to "settings" then "buttons" then scroll right until you see "wake up" then check the last box!!!!!!
Ok, the story is, my phone goes to sleep every 30 secs to save battery. And since I'm still very excited about it, I turn it on quite often, just to check . And the only way to turn on from sleep (as far as I know) is pressing the power button. Well, that means that button will be pressed a lot! I'm just worrying that it will soon have problems. It would be much cooler if we can touch some Android button down there, Home button for example, to turn on the phone. Do you know anyway to do that?
PS: I tried to google as well as search through out this forum, but the keywords are pretty common, so it's really hard though.
I wouldn't want the capacitive buttons activating my phone, think of all the butt-dialing
I think Widget Locker allows for any hardware button to wake up the device, so then you'd be able to distribute the fun between your volume rocker and the power button.
Widget locker does allow the use of the volume rocker to wake up the phone.
a short term fix or you might be to got o settings-->Applications-->Development-->Stay awake....
so as long as you are charging the screen will not sleep. dont forget to change the setting back if you walk away for a bit... or go to bed
Thanks guy. I think the volume button is good enough

thanks rumur, i going to give widget locker a try.
i hate it must reach for power button to wakeup!
i like "Simply Lockscreen", it also turns on cappy with volume buttons.
give it a try
On a similar note, do you all have any app tips that will allow me to do something special with the volume button while the screen is off (maybe long press or double click, or press both volume buttons at once) that will in turn toggle silent/vibrate on and off?
I am having an issue with my OPO where it is acting like a button is being pressed even when the phone is not being touched. If I have an app open I have noticed my phone will keep going to the home screen and I can feel the haptic feedback like when a button is pressed. This happens even when the phone is not in my hand and I am browsing with either my finger or a stylus. if the phone is on the home screen, it acts like I did a long finger hold on the home screen and brings up the the settings where you can arrange your home screen or select a widget. Even if the phone is just setting on my desk not being touched, the screen will turn on and off like the button on the side is being pressed. Has anybody else experienced anything like this?
