Locking the Diamond

I was wondering is there a app that will lock my Diamond by clicking a shortcut?
I don't want S2u2 it's buggy imo. But i would just like to use the std. locking through a shortcut.
Pressing and holding the hang-up button just doesn't work for me.

If pressing and holding a button for 2 seconds is too hard for you then perhaps you should consider buying a slave to do it for you....

It isn't the fact that i don't wanna push it.
But after using it one week i already notice that the pad hangs to the hang-up button a heightdifference of a mm is already present.
I don't like that so i'd rather push a shortcut.

I press the power button briefly, not sure if that's lock, but it works for me.

chech the thread "Lock Screen or put into "standby"? Best set-up?", post 9 & 10.

You could do HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLock Enable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off (which is quite quick with the Diamond) the device will automatically lock

Ensure that Long Press End Key is set to lock your device (Start -> Settings -> System -> Long Press End Key -> Automatically execute the seleted action: Lock device.
Next open a registry editing program and navigate to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKPath and enter \windows\endkey.exe.
Then navigate to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKText and enter Lock (or whatever text you want to be displayed on the button).
Save the changes and soft-reset the device (or disable and re-enable HTC Touch Flow 3D) to implement the change.

Personally i've started using Sensor Lock which seems to work really well

Locks and unlocks by rotating the screen. Has lots of nice options and locks the hardware buttons too which is good.

PocketShield looks pretty cool. It's around $11 if you decide to buy it.

S2U2 and HTC Taks Manager

These two programs have been killing me lately. The biggest problem (and the one I didnt see anything on when I searched) is with S2U2. My problem is that pressing the end key on my Verizon Touch Pro seems to stop S2U2 and puts me on the home screen. This is a problem because I installed S2U2 so that I wouldnt accidentally call people when the phone is in my pocket. The only reason I posted this is because I accidentally called someone today because of this problem. Is there any fix that will stop S2U2 from ending when the end key is accidentally pressed? Right now I am locking the keys using windows built in key lock and then using S2U2. This takes much more time than just pressing the power button and letting S2U2 kick in when it wakes up. If I could get the built in keylock to kick in on wakeup also or if I could get S2U2 to not respond to the end key, my problem would be fixed.
My second problem is with HTC's Task Manager in the top righthand corner of touchflo. Every once and awhile it will just disappear. I searched for this and came up with a couple of solutions that didnt work. I tried checking and unchecking the box in the buttons section that says "Enable quick menu on today screen." The only way to get it to reappear is to do a soft reset. Thats really frustrating. So is there any real fix for that? If not, what would you suggest for a replacement task manager that blends in with touchflo? I really just want something simple like HTC's task manager where it shows my tasks in a drop down and I can exit out of each one just like I do now. I really like how HTC's task manager is setup, but I cant deal with it disappearing.

Lock button on Home

Hi, im quite new to the Touch Diamond Pro. Is there a program that displays on the main screen a button to lock the Touch pro (Raphael) ?
I found some programs to turn and it locks, to take out the styles and put it back in it locks, but nowhere a simple program that had a button (for instance next to the time...) that displays a lock icon, wich is pressed and the Diamond is locked.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks

The default Windows Mobile home screen(Today screen with TF3D turned OFF) has an option for this under Settings>Today>Items.
Don't know about similar option/program when TF3D is ON.

Hold the end key for 3 seconds and you should get a menu including a lock option. You can set this program to automatically lock without showing the menu.
The program that makes this work is Windows\Endkey.exe so you can assign this program to your left soft key for quick access.

switch on the display

Is it possible to use central circle button to switch on the display of the PDA instead of use ON/OFF button?
Thank you.

would like to know if the center button can be map as the power button too.

Its not as you asked, bight might be worht considering:
If you go to settings>system>Lock Buttons and choose do not lock buttons, then all the buttons including the center button will trun on the screen.

Yes. Now every time I want to switch on the display I have to push the upper ON/OFF button and I think it would be better if i could do it by pressing the central circle button?
Thank you

Yes omar32, but i do not like this option because if all buttons are enabled, it is very easy to push them accidentalty and to do calls, etc that you do not want. I want that when the PDA is deactivated, i can switch display on with ON/OFF button or pressing the central circle button, but with others buttons disabled.
Thank you

I agree with you guys. If diamond is a phone why it can behave like a real normal phone. Using this stupid ON/OFF button is very inconvenient and annoying! I miss normal lock keypad-I mean like in SE press * and lock button(s0ft button) to unlock in reverse direction.To get this feature I have to use 3d party software like s2u2 which does the thing but destroys other like receiving MMS etc. I'm getting bored of this phone ale looking for all the time for the compromise between one feature I need and another.Just wanted a PHONE with possibilities of PDA not PDA with option of PHONE

So, is it no possible to use central circular hw button to switch on the display?

Hi
I can tell you how I "resolved" this problem possibly closest to the "normal" phone
First: in settings /system -> key lock -> set: DON't lock the buttons
Second: because pressing ON/OFF button is very inconvenient we have to bypass it..There are few programs *.exe which does exactly the same what ON/OFF button. So search the web for turnOff.exe and map it with soft key manager to any of the soft buttons you like(right or left).This lets you turn off the phone without pressing ON/OFF button on the top.
Third: Because now buttons are not locked it's easy to wake up the phone in the pocket and press sth on the touch screen so you have to use s2u2 for locking/unlocking. And that's all you have to do is spend some time on configuring s2u2 this is the hardest thing here.
Now you can wake up the phone with any button you like and unlock it in iPhone style(thanks to s2u2), when want to lock it you press the soft button mapped to turnOff.exe and that's it- you got your phone locked and turned off.

If somebody knows a different way to do it please share with us

[Q]app to disable touch screen while reading

Before you think i'm crazy let me explain why i want it.
I want to be able to hold my nook however i want with out the fear i might turn the page by accident. Where it my be my fingers touching the screen, the sheets or cookie crumbs.
So, im looking for an app that will disable the touch screen and can be linked to a hardware button(any turn page button, probably the left ones as i use those the least) whether by script of done by the app itself.

CoolReader have a possibility to disable touchscreen while reading. It can be assigned to some of the page-turning buttons - press a button, double press or long press.

I tried some tool called Screen tools 1 and i manage to "disable" touch but it would disable the buttons as well. I'll try coolreader, thanks for the tip
