Hello,
Yes, I searched everywhere but didn't find any answer.
Is it possible to disable the backlight when notifications comes ? For example, when a SMS or an e-mail arrives, the screen powers up and my pocket presses the screen and do bad things on the screen. This would be a cleaner idea than locking the screen!
I know that phoneAlarm have an option for this but I'm using PhoneWeaver for this profiling job (which is smaller than it). I think it must be a reg key somewhere for this :/
Thanks in advance for your precious help!
To be honest, I do not understand you question but I think you are searching for the sound and alert settings?
Go to start > settings > sound and alerts (and then the 2nd tab)
If this is not what you are looking for, could you be more specific?
he want it to when it turns on because of an alarm or sms or the likes that it
dont have backlight on the lcd
personaly i doubt it's possible i believe that when notifications turn the device on it's 100% the same thing that is sendt to the os as when one press the on button if that is the case that the os cant tell the diff
i doubt it could have different backlight settings depending one
what turns it on
holding the button down for a bit turn off the backlight on many devices
untill the button is pressed for a bit again
also when it's turned off so when the notification turns it on the backlight will be off
but ofcause so will it when power button turns it on
I would like my device (TyTN/Hermes) under windows mobile 6 not to "turn on" when a message arrives because my phone case press on the screen while on my pocket and some strange things arrives (delete messages, surf on the Internet, ...) as random parts and buttons are pressed...
I was hoping this simple thing could have been done easily
slide2unlock
I was wanting the same thing also since I carry my phone in my pocket(htc mogul). As I would reach into my pocket to pull out the phone I would end up pressing button to where programs would open and what not. I tried slide2unlock and I think that has solved my problem pretty good. The only time the phone get unlocked is with an incoming call. Other than that the screen just turns on with an incoming text. Good thing about this program is that if you turn on your screen, the buttons won't do anything without sliding the slider to unlock.
if a password is set it dont go to the today screen and random screen pokes will not result in wild pr0n surfing
or getting a case with s screen in front like the silicon ones or the
full plastic ones will safe the screen from clicks and damage too
I am also looking for a solution. I am currently using slide2unlock, but I would prefer the behavior mentioned above. Specifically, I would like the phone to stay in standby mode (screen off, not responding to button presses or screen taps) when an incoming SMS arrives or phone acquires or loses signal. Currently these behaviors will turn on the phone by itself.
I recently updated to Shamanix 1.3 (aka Schap's 4.01 customized) which has this behaviour
The phone don't turn on when an e-mail/sms/mms arrives (only when a phone call arrives)
Anyone has found the solution for this?
Thanks!

I am looking for an option whereby one can tap the screen to wake up device after lock. I tried to look for this setting but it isn't anywhere in the settings, its only for the hardware keys. Since I am using S2U2 I thought this would be useful, but the only way seems to be using the power button, anyway of using the tap on the screen to bring up the S2U2 interface? Thanks in advance.
I've got a different oppnion of usefulness in this case... I'd hate the thought of the PDA activating in my pocket waiting for me to unlock it, the screen always on is a miniature black hole for the battery...
I don't think there's a feature that would enable this, or any 3rd party program that would help you do this... but then again maybe I'm worng...
I agree with you, the only reason that prompted me to look for this option was because I installed S2U2. Now when I want to unlock device I have to switch on power before I use S2U2, whereas it would have been more convenient if I were to only tap the screen and the power turned on. Anyway S2U2 has an option to power down which can be set for seconds, there by saving battery power too. Strangely this option was there when I was using the XDA Wizard on WM 5. Maybe they removed it in WM 6?
Sorry, I don't know about that, I've never used S2U2 before, and I never will because when I want access to my PDA then I want it now, without any delays... but even if it has a power down option it wont help if its the pocket of my jeans...
i have couple of quick questions?
1) how can I make the menus rotate without having to open the keyboard.
2) when the phone goes in standby, i have to open the keyboard to make it come back, none of the buttons work. is there a way around this.
thanks please help
1) I dont think there is a way to just rotate menus without rotating the entire screen
2) according to the pithiness of the previous question I would ask - which buttons did you try?

Take a look at a program called Gyrator. I think it will rotate various screens as you were seeking. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like what you are looking for. Here is a link:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gyrator.html
you could also do it via a button which i like because gyrator rotates sometimes when you dont want it to. If you are willing to go through the registry than you can go to HKLM/System/GDI/Rotation and change "HideOrientationUI" to 1 (decimal). and after you do that go to Settings->personal->Buttons and it should say <Rotate Screen>
Edit: Change it to 0. It should be 1 by default.
have mine set to rotate to left with one key press (Long Send)
Setting -> Buttons -> Button 1(Hold) : <Rotate Screen>
You can also set the Short & Long press of PPT button to go into the Screen:General tab, but then you still would have to make your selection and then press ok.
Hey this works pretty well. I think some programs may display funny, but a cool tip. thx.
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...

Sent from my Evo...
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...
I'm playing s8+ for over a week. Slowly the first dust settles down and I start thinking about the phone in a more reasonable way. One day I was using an app that allows rotating screen 180° (*). My first thought was: what will happen with the home button when it will be on the other side of the screen?
Will the force touch work?
It doesn't of course.
So will I be able to launch the assistant app? Yes. It launches when you keep your finger on the home button a bit longer.
Ok then. So I asked the question myself:
What this force touch is made for?
The only use I find is: enable use of Home button in immersive mode (On the AOD screen you need to double click to "turn on" the screen so I can't say that the force touch is necessary there).
Any other use you find for this sophisticated tech?

It's just to show off when the screen is off, and Always on Display is off (I don't use it due to it being a waste of battery) and allows someone to turn on the screen without using the power button.
Is just f'n awesome straight up bragging rights when you tell your friends that I can turn my phone on by touching the invisible button lol that's my only reason for needing it
I love the feature.... no screwing around with power button or anything just press and hold to unlock:good:
The only uses are turning on your screen from a screen-off state, and to return to home straight away when the buttons are gone. You can force-touch the place where the home button would be when the home buttons aren't there to go straight to your home screen, pretty useful when playing full-screen games. And it's super easy to unlock your phone when you set the touch sensitivity to the highest, just a small touch unlocks the screen easily
Heres a tip: If you leave the home button on with the always on display, you can also double tap it to have it open the lock screen instead of unlocking.

Why do people keep saying this? Is there some feature I'm not aware of? It's a hard-press or, in the alternative, a double tap if the home button is showing. I've never seen any option to "press and hold" (a/k/a "long-press") like you and others keep saying. What am I missing?

go to display settings then to navigation bar settings then there is option for unlock with home button, once that is on, with AOD on you just touch and hold the button and it will go right to your home screen or you can shut off AOD and with the screen off you can still press and hold in the same area where the home button would be and it will unlock the phone and take you to your home screen:good:

Strange. That doesn't work for me. I enabled "Unlock with Home Button," and when my screen is on AOD, I touch-and-hold on the home button, and nothing happens. Only double-touching or hard-pressing do anything. I'm on Verizon S8+.
Main use is for AOD. You wouldnt want your phone turning on simply be the home button screen area being rub.
But outside of that. There isnt a need for it. There had been phones with on screen home buttons before. This thing here is that they disapper when using full screen on the s8
