"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

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,

Long End Key Press Delay

Guys,
Anyone know a way to tweak the time needed for the long press of the end key to take effect and lock the keypad?
At the moment it takes too long holding it down before it kicks in so it would be great to reduce the time and make locking the handset a bit easier.
Thanks
Al

Perhaps have a look in the registry??...i woudlnt know myself which entry it may be but hopefully bumping this up...will get someones attention.
Personally i use my long key press to kill off my data connection...

Also searched for the key in the registry, but i didn't found anything yet..

I have exactly the same wish. Nobody any idea? Com on registry specialists

Is there any other way to lock the keypad apart from the long press?
I'd quite like to change my long press to 'Disconnect Data Connections' - but dont want to lose the ability to lock the keypad.

If you use advanced config and start it up...go into menu and comm settings..you can specify how long your connections stays on till it disconnects automatically. So you can use the button for locking the phone.
Or you could go into your battery settings and under advanced...specify how long you want the phone turned off ie locked if its not being used..goes from 40 secs to 5 mins.
Dont know if that will help but its the only thing i can think of.

I am also searching for a way to shorten the delay for both phone buttons. I would need about half the time...

I have the solution! At least, I'm satisfied with it.
Install AE Button Plus on your machine (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php). It's not free, but it took away a lot of my annoyances lol.
You can assign multiple functions to any key. The way I've sorted it out now, is that a long press on the disconnect button shows up a TF3D menu, a double press brings up the Start menu and a triple press locks the device. And my triple press is definately faster then pressing it and holding it till it locks lol.

Are we talking about the on/off button on the top of the Diamond here? I only ask because I thought I`d set it to `Disconnect Data Connections` but it still will only turn off the phone.

+1 also
It's unusualy long delay...

it is really too long. tweak is needed immediateli
c'mon developers run....

+1 same wishes here.
i've set the key to lock phone and it takes toooooo long...

+1 Needed ASAP

There has to be a tweak for this.....
HastaSSSS

I'm giving this a little bump.

It's a WM bad thing, not the only one
Wait for WM7 or install AEButtons

hold time is too long

to lock my diamond I set long press on Lock Device, and create a shortcut under the home touchflo with the path EndKey.exe
it's the better solution I have found to lock the diamond quickly
I hope it's clear....!

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 ?

why you just don't try it?

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 .....

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

you have to hold the button for a few seconds 2 at least, unless you are using some kind of app to remap the keys, this works very well.
