Does anyone know if there's a popup clock that would display for 1-2 seconds when a button is pressed and would shut of the screen after that. Like the one found in Palm Tungsten T's?
I know a tool that does the reverse - ae button plus has a function to display a clock for a few seconds when switch on.
HI, this sounds pretty simple to me, just having a clock program, (i do have on I made on my phone (actually very simple c# script) but i am at work at the mo, will upload it when management leave )
But with just this simple clock, i could easily add a timer, which would close the app after a couple of seconds. Job Done?
I'll get on it later tonight, when i get home.
Hmm, just loaded the app on my new phone, turns out you need the .NET compact framework, maybe i will remake a similar app in C++ when i can be arsed , but for now i will modify it to close after a couple of seconds. and if you dont midn the fact it need .net then it will work for you just fine

Very easy to do with MortScript http://www.sto-helit.de/
Code:
utime=FormatTime("h:i A")
SetMessageFont(24)
SleepMessage(5,utime,"Time")
ToggleDisplay(False)
Plus you can customize it to suit your style. Be warned, MortScript can be addictive.
cool. can anyone create this small program?
Something kinda like S2U2, spb Time, or spb Mobile Shell's Now Screen... They all have a clock display on device wakeup.
yeah but what about when im just checking the time? I dont want to press powerup and power off just to check time. just press 1 button and it will auto shut off after 2 sec is better
I think vijay did something like this

You can see the time displayed in the taskbar in every program by tapping start menu/settings/system bar/clock/ tap "more" at bottom, check box. or you can install this zip, and map it to a hardware button. Mine is mapped where the messaging button is. You need visual basic runtime installed before the clock will work.

You control the clock talking by tapping anywhere in the center. To close the program, you need to tap the ok button in the taskbar.

Or you may want to install this zip file and map it to a hardware button. This is actually an alarm clock, but does'nt have to be used as one.

Clock shows the actual time with sweep second hand movement. Like wearing a wrist watch.
thanks but not quite the solution im looking for.
would be nice if we can check the time with 1 button and will shut off the screen after 2-3 secs
i dont know if this is where to post this but, i was wondering if any one has seen the black berry storm was wndering if you could come up or have already made something like when your using the touchscreen key boad theat it makes a click sound and pulsates when you touch a key? just wanted to throw that out there.
you can have it make a sound when you touch the screen go into settings and personal and sounds notifications it will click but the vibration maybe someone can make that
alpine radios use this thing called PulseTouch™ technology, the screen gives off pulses, vibrations, and sounds when touched. The system emits vibrations and pressures that simulate what it feels like when you push a real button. You get a different feel when tapping a button, holding down a button, or moving a slider. This smart menu layout, together with its tactile response, ensures that you can navigate quickly and easily through music lists and menus.
A few Verizon phones have this feature where they pulse just slightly when you touch the screen. I really like it and seem to recall it being available for the Tilt although I never had it. I would love to add this little bell to my Fuze!
Is there a program so that when your screen is locked, you can assign one button only to wake your screen and have access to the unlock slider? Now, if any of the 4 hard buttons are pressed, it brings up the unlock screen. The problem is, when the phone is in my pocket, any one of the 4 buttons, if accidentally pressed, wakes up the screen. Then of course, I hear my phone in my pocket clicking because the heat from my leg is "tapping" the screen. I just want to have the right hard button wake the phone up.
I cant find an option in the settings for this, nor any threads that discuss it.
Thanks.
I really admire you if you're able to slide the slider with the phone in your pocket.
LOL. No, I dont slide it. Just that when in my pocket, when any one of the 4 hard buttons are pressed(accidentally), i have to press the power button to lock the screen again. A pain in the butt. I what the phone to have only one hard button, not 4, that will shut off the screen when the phone is locked.
I'd like it too.
Maybe even some old school unlocking shortcut that uses hardware key combination (e.g. Home + Vol Down), rather than slide.
The Diamond, or was it the HD, had a button on the top to wake the phone up. That was nice because it was hard to accidentally press that button when it was in your pocket.
I use pocketshield for automatically unlocking my phone when the light sensor senses light coming in. An added benefit for this is that when the phone is in my pocket and I accidentally press any button, the screen will automatically shut itself off again after 10 seconds since there is no incoming light. This tool has really made my life so much easier as it gets rid of the stupid slider thing as well; you can use the lightsensor, the motion sensor and an old school sliding mechanism to unlock your phone- brilliant stuff!
Iarapilot might have meant something else indeed. Most of WM6.1-WM6.5 have a tab in the Start->Settings->Buttons screen that allows you to choose which kind of wake-up you need: waking up by pressing the Pw-ON button or waking up pressing whatever button you want. Sudden power-on is very boring, even thought you can't make your device work as you need to slide the screen. But this is a power comsuption anyway and I wonder why previous version had this chance regardless the home screen features. I do want it!!
I think it's a matter of regkeys, somebody of us who's used to "playing" with regkeys should figure out how this feature could be resumed.
Hope you help us!!
Maybe I didnt make my point very well. I just would like to have only the R hardware key, when pressed, wake up the screen so as to be able to slide to unlock. Not 4 buttons, that when any of those are pressed, wake up the screen.
I also have the problem, I only want to have only one key to wake up not other key
Please help us
Since it's free, I add myself to the request queue Having the screen wake up only on powerbutton press could be useful to reduce to 25% the probabilityof screen turning on by accident when buttons are pressed inside the pocket. Battery saver for sure.
Same here. I've been looking for this since I first got the phone! My old kaiser could do this, surely it wouldn't be too hard to implement on the HD2?
edit: nevermind, posted in the wrong thread
I don't think any software can control that as key presses send electrical signals direct to the chip/power unit, where the "power on" circuits reside. What software can do is turn it off again if not unlocked within a specific amount of time, so battery is saved. Screen touches shouldn't be an issue either if using a lock screen.

and doesnt create any problem in normal use? u ask because if u are in call and let some other app start while talk (maybe with earphones) its quietly impossible use portrait mode because left hand always cover light sensor and screen shut down.. its the same with that app?
Did someone already found a solution? I would like such a option too. wake up only by centerbutton for instance....
Basically, im sure others would like this too, i want to be able to unlock the screen without having to reach up on top of the phone. I previously had the HTC Hero and i found out the trick to unlock the phone by hitting menu twice. Would someone be able to configure an app that changes the way the phone unlocks. ps i saw something with the ringer keys, im not really too fond of it. Thanks
Even the Volume keys would be much better than the power button. The menu button as you mentioned would be even better. The power button to unlock when you have a hard case on is stressful lol. I cuss'd it every time i had to use it. I use No lock now which disables the lock screen and allows the volume keys to wake it. Even using the volume keys can get annoying though. No lock screen at all is the downside (to some), so no cool sense weather animations when you wake it. Having the actual lock screen appear after waking with volume (instead of power) would be teh shiznit, Menu buttons would be even better, A rapid shaking of the phone to display the Lock screen would be my favorite though!
yeah the ringer key one is out somewhere but i want something different. Anyone up to it or trying to ATM
waking up by touching the screen would be nice too. maybe a gesture of some sort could be an option.
I'm pretty sure we can't use the touch buttons to unlock the screen as they only function when the screen is on, so an app that allows that would prolly kill the battery 10fold because it would need the screen to remain semi on.
Only other options are the volume keys, those are right there by the power button...soo yeah.
I could be wrong, who knows.
NM..........
download "no lock" from the market. it enables the volume rocker to unlock the evo. it also bypasses the slide to unlock button as well. goes right onto the homescreen. whenever i need my phone, password secured, i just use the widget to turn it off. reverts back to normal. this should be exactly what you are looking for. free app.

What? That's a reg key. I'm pretty sure Android doesn't even have a registry...

yeah, I was wondering the same thing..
so finally did anyone find out a way to do it?
Thanks
Capacitive buttons = no go...
Via EVO on XDA app...
Hi.
I was wondering if there's a way to make something that would unlock my phone on an interval? I.e. phone automatically presses power button then swipes to the right three times then presses the power button again every 5 minutes.
for interfacing with android, u could use github.com/kivy/pyjnius This is quite advanced stuff and I am not sure if there is anything for the unlock screen or you can develop an app for likewise feature. Visit : maxtratechnologies.com/mobile-application-development.php
