"Waking" up from Sleep Mode

Anyone know of a software that will enable the user to "wake" up from sleep mode by just touching the screen?

wow someone is lazy. haha. whats wrong with touching the power button?
If you could touch the screen and it would awake from sleep mode putting the device in your pocket would suck ass because 1) you'd be draining the battery quicker than it already drains and 2) if you didn't lock your phone you'd be dialing numbers, starting applications, or turning the volume on. Now, wouldn't it be embarrassing that you were in a meeting and the "Eye of the Tiger" started playing because someone is called you?
oh don't deny the fact that you considered putting a Rocky theme song as your ringtone to motivate yourself each day.
lol
BUT if i had s2u2 then i wouldnt have to worry about that. i love slide to unlock but i see no point in having it if i have to press the power button to wake up the phone AND slide to unlock it.
I've been in search of such progam for a while now and i still can't find one. It was great on my HP Jornada 567 how i can do it, but not with the Tilt

you make a valid argument. However, you still have to consider battery drain with the device in your pocket the backlight would always be on. I like s2u2 as well but it tends to slow the device down considerably, therefore, i stopped utilizing the application.
Good luck on your searching and please report back to this thread if you do find the software you are looking for.
I am just plain too lazy to hit the power button. Could someone make a slide-to- unlock that is active with the screen backlight off?

Try settings-system-key lock-do not lock buttons. Then you can wake up yor phone by pressing any button except the d-pad and center button

Awesome, that works great. Even easier then sliding the phone open a little. Thanks!
s2u2
s2u2 can wake device with any button if you set it in options. you can also map some button to activate s2u2, so you don't need to press power button

hey, this is interesting for me.
Do you mean that by S2U2 I could map another button to perform Sleep function? I am looking for to map On/Off button to the button #6. I would to sleep my tytn through that button.
any help?
thanks
fausto
I use S2U2, have it mapped to my PTT+hold button. Then settings->system->key lock, set it to lock buttons if device is locked. I usually wake it now by flipping the scroll wheel, then slide to unlock it.
I only use the power button to actually power off or on.

thanks gwnorth, this is very usefull and interesting and I will use for the moment, but this is not yet exactly what I am looking for. What I wanna do is to assign to the ptt button the same functions now assigned to the on/off button, I am shure that there is a command to launch and perform sleep or resume when a button is pressed.
btw, thanks again for the suggestion, it is very appreciated.
ciao
fausto
you should just set all the options you want in s2u2, and then just assign button#6 to s2u2. right now i'm trying to assign long push of end button to s2u2. you can find something about remaping keys here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356322&highlight=remap

thanks anti,
I have just installed PHM Keys and it does about 50% of my need. Now when I push the Ptt button it goes in suspend mode. To resume I can use the On/Off button or if i prefer any other button.
thanks,

Hard buttons assignment

Hello,
Could you confirm that only the "Call" (hold) button can be customized ? (via the out of the box settings, buttons)
Did somebody manage to customize the "OK" button (hold) ? that would work from any application ?
Thanks

With my firmware the only available button I have on the list is the call button (Button 1).
The second button is hardcoded to lock phone.
And there is not way to associate anything to any other button.
C'mon HTC, this is SICK!
Ciao,
Davide.
The second button can be assigned other functions like Data connection termination, airplane mode etc

It works, but you can't customize the new Back Key.
How about Hbutton? It works great on my Diamond and you can assign different programs to the Call ( hold) button at the same time.

Yes, but only to the call button. With this phone is just like you have two buttons when you really have 9 more but you can't customize them!

That's funny because I just did.
I set the "OK key" (in AEBPlus) this way:
1: Close active application
Long: "Coreplayer"
Now that dreaded back key actually closes the running program!
On the MDA compact 4 you cant even configure the call button!
I'm using Spb Pocket plus 4.02 TF3D and the taskmanager turned off
(using SPB Shell)
OK button = close
I think it's better then AE button plus, it doesn't support ok/close together.
So with SPB pocket plus you can make an appointment and push the back button to save and close the appointment

It works but with some bugs. No problem al all when TF 3D is not active as today plugin, you can configure every hard button to whatever behaviour you like. But when TF active strange things happen:
Red (hang) button, enter (circled one) and volume buttons always work in simple, double, triple and hold pressing.
Home button and return only work when you are not in home screen or if an app has been launched. Also they work if you are in home screen but after pressing start and the menu is showed.
Weird, don't you think?

Confirmed.
The best thing for MDA Compact IV is to reassign the 2nd Softbutton in the registry to VoiceCommand, make your own HButtons for WiFi-toggle e.g. and rename them.
My Perfect solution.

Hi guys, i know how to change the soft key on the home screen - but does anyone know if and how you can change it so that the soft key just locks the keypad?
thanks

search the internet for the programm "devicelock.cab". Install this programm and change the function of the left softkey to this devicelock-programm. You find in the tweak-section how to change the softkey.
Hope this helps.
Bye
This small app will lock and turn off your phone. Hope this will help you.
If you press an hold on the 'end call' button it locks the phone.
does the lockandoff program work with diamond ?
dat would be awesome not having to wait for it to timeout after locking the keypad

..yes you are right, but not only the lock function, really useful
i also have a question, once the htc is locked can i still answer my phone call in "locked mode" ?
and ..
why not implement in the setup: lock and turn off htc ?

Because its pretty hard to call yourself to test!?
I tried it and when the phone rings it get's unlocked to be able to touch the screen... This program works exaktly as holding down the End Call button.
why not use S2U2 and link a softkey to ilock ?
Tried S2U2 and it works a bit better... To bad the screenbuttons can't be locked while a caller rings the phone. Want to remove any accidently answering/declining when pulling the phone out of the pocket....
That is an option in S2U2. Its exactly why I use it.
thank you mate
Thanks guys for your answers - those of you who said hold down the end key - i should have said - i do know that you can do that, but it just feels way to long winded and i wanted a 1 button press rather than holding the phone for about 5 seconds to lock it. Ive been using the lockandoff.exe, i like it. my only problem is, its starting to bug me that the light is always dim when the phone is locked - i have tried changing this with Advanced Config but it sticks and doesnt work. any guesses?
S2U2 is far and away the best and most comfortable locking solution for wm. in my opinion.
when i lock my HTC with devicelock and a call is coming in it will "UNLOCK" my HTC. I would prefere my HTC will keep locked until i unlock it
what do you think ? can the developer implement / change devicelock or maybe at least let the user choose if he want unlock the phone when a call is coming in or not. It happen already, when my HTC is in my poket and i rush to answer i press the wrong button and maybe close the call
A question: i set my devicelock to lock my HTC when i hold down the Phone OFF key. How to enter devicelock.cab settings if i want to change parameters? default i can enter settings by hold down the Phone OFF key, after i changed i don't know how
I also tried to uninstall devicelock with HTC software remove, it say ...removed but it is still inside because i still can use the"unlock" function. I don't know how to uninstall .....

To turn wifi on and off, I put a shortcut to Comm Manager in my Start menu. So I have to press the physical Windows button, then Comm Manager, then WiFi. Three presses.
Go to the settings tab in TF3D, choose communication. On the bottom there's data connection, hit the on/off button.

Hi man
I did that, of course!! Simple its not working ...
On Data conetction opens automatically configuration for the operator.
On WiFi does nothing
I tried GProfile but works fine in TD1, not satisfactory in TD2
Tell me more of your TD2 ... ROM version?
I'm using the standard NL WM6.1 ROM. Maybe a stupid question, but do you tap on the on/off button part of the bar? Tapping on the main part of the bar opens the configuration window.

Any way to rotate screen through button press?

Hi! I know there's a trick that holding the Power button when the keyboard pops up and quickly pressing Back does it sometimes, but I often get stuck on Landscape and it won't go back to Portrait. Is there a way to assign a button to rotate the screen, or an app/widget to mess w. the internal coding to do the same function? I know Windows Mobile allows for hardware buttons to switch screen... Thanks!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5665206&postcount=51
top power: short press = turn on power, wake screen, menu. 1-second long press = toggle keyboard. 2-second long press = toggle portrait/landscape orientation
