I recommend you to use psShutXP, you will see it in this forum, It has other useful features such as turning the screen off. I have it on my start menu.

You can also soft reset by holding down the power button until the "Power will be turned off..." message appears. Hit "yes", then power on again.
As I'd like to avoid installing bunches of different programs, I simply use Quick Menu (which is - IMHO - a "must" for WM users) which also allows to SR the phone.

"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

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

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,

Assign "Power off" button function to left soft key

Hi guys,
For suspending power on my Topaz I use a little programm called MySuspend.
However, it started to make problems on my analog clock in my Co0kie Home Tab home screen. This clock seams to stop going when the device is suspended.
BTW, the nominal flip-clock goes as it should.
I marked also that when suspending (turning off screen) with the power button, it does not influence that analog clock, so....
could anybody help on how to assing the direct functionality ????
(I use Advanced Config to assign. The question is actually what is the actual .exe file, that is nominaly assigned to powef button).
Thanks in advance for any help.
I am not certain of the actual 'power off' function and what .exe initiates it, but if you install TD2 Tools (or whatever the latest version is called) you can set your softkey in HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
Set HomeLSKText"="Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe" to initiate Boot manager Screen, as shown below.

Thanks Bruce for the hint,
but I just would like to click the left soft key and it should be done (suspended).
The choice of couple of options is a bit to many clicks to go.
Thanks anyway
Anybody knows the solution ???
One thing you can try...
I'm not certain if TD2 Tools replaces anything in regards to .exe's but if you can browse through your windows folder and look for some type of power???.exe (not sure what it would be called exactly) but it should start with 'power' and see if you can find the .exe that activates a power down.
That's how I found the .exe in my previous post, but mine may have been replaced....
Sorry, just to be clear, you want to power off device or just suspend?
Bruce,
I want just suspend the device, exactly as the power button does it
I may be wrong but.....
I don't think it can be done as the power button suspends via the baclight settings in the registry.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight]
"ACBrightness"=dword:0000000a
"ACTimeout"=dword:00000000
"ACTimeoutTemp"=dword:00000000
"ACTimeoutUnchecked"=dword:00000000
"AutoBklOffset"=dword:00000000
"AutoDeviceLockEnable"=dword:00000001
"AutoDeviceLockTimeout"=dword:00000005
"AutoSensor"=dword:00000001
"BatteryTimeout"=dword:00000078
"BatteryTimeoutTemp"=dword:00000000
"BatteryTimeoutUnchecked"=dword:00000078
"Brightness"=dword:00000007
"DimBKLinUnlockScreen"=dword:00000000
"LedOnOffAdcValue"=dword:0000013f
"LightDetectOn"=dword:00000000
"MAXBrightnessScale"=dword:0000000a
"MINBrightnessScale"=dword:00000001
"QKeyLedTimeout"=dword:0000000a
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel]
"LockLevel"=dword:00000000
There is no .exe involved.
Well,
I just found poweroff.exe, that makes the action that is done when you press and hold down the power button.
So if that is an exe-file for this action, then ......... ??
I assumed you had checked for the .exe already!

As I wrote before "I found in Windows folder poweroff.exe"
So hopefuly there might be some other option for suspending as the button, but where .......
Perhaps something is getting lost in translation here but....
You stated "I just found poweroff.exe, that makes the action that is done when you press and hold down the power button."
Does that mean when you click the poweroff.exe, your phone goes to suspend as it does when you hit the power button? Did you confirm this?

Sorry, I've been away for a while.
When I click power.exe, it asks "Do you really want to turn off your device?",
ie. it's as if I would press & hold the phisical power button.
So, if that function of the power button exists as an exe-file, I assume that a suspend-function also would, but I can not find anything like "suspend.exe".
Maybe the file has another name ??
Grab Keyboard Config for Topaz from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555821&highlight=keyboard+config
Edit action for button of your choice. Under the Power management category, I have screen power toggle, suspend device and reset device.
Is this what you are after?

My goal was to assign the "suspend" action to the left soft key,
but thanks a lot arrow224 !!
I assigned one of the hardware buttons & will test it

A good idea for making the PTT button useful.

Can someone that knows what they are doin make an app to turn the PTT button into the SOFT RESET button? I mean to function just as the real SOFT RESET button does, push and soft reset happens. No pop-ups askin to confirm just soft reset when pushed.
This would be great and would cut down on having to remove the battery cover.
I've mapped the PTT button on the ATT version to various things, and can tell you that its very easy to hit this button on accident. Therefore, mapping it to soft reset IMO is not a great idea.

This is an interesting idea. I am currently using Rhodium Keyboard Controller. After reading your post, I mapped the START button to "Default Key Action" for Click and I am trying RESET.exe assigned to Triple Click. The location of the Window Start button and Triple Click is less likely to trigger accidently (so far so good)
As a LEFTY, here is how I have mapped the PTT:
CLICK= Back
Double Click=Camera
Triple Click=Send Recieve all
Long Press= Voice Command
I hope this is helpful.
★ Device: AT&T Tilt 2
★ Radio: 4.49.25.95
★ ROM: Energy.RHODIUM.21684.CHT2.0.Sencity.Nov.8
Like syNRGz said, you could use the Keyboard Config app to map the PTT button to the reset function. U can usually find the reset button in the start menu.. so u can access it from Windows/StartMenu/.. and then the reset.ink or sometimes its in tools or settings folder. it will still ask u to confirm but jus like Redpoint said, its really not a good idea to map PTT button to reset. it can be accidently pressed and the phone will restart. You dont need to open the back cover to reset. You can always reset from the start Menu. The ROM comes w/ a reset button.
ANother way is to map the PTT button to 'Power Management' in the keyboard config and then select reset.
I hope this helps.
I use the Rhodium keyboard controller for the PTT button with the following settings.
1 Click - Task Manager or Arkswitch
2 Clicks- Wi-Fi Toggle
Long Press - Camera
Works good for me, do you really want a button where you only have to push it once and it soft resets without confirming? Just use quickshutdown and a long hold to the sleep button will get you a soft reset just a swipe away. Or just drill a hole in the side of the back cover where the reset button is so you don't have to take off the rear cover to press it.
