Keylock and self activation on appointements - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hi!
I care the phone in my pants and when the device activates itself cause of some appointements, the keys are unlocked and it starts entering garbage, calls someone etc...
Is it possible that the key stay locked?
Thanks

You can try going into Settings > Sounds and notifications, then select the Reminders sound, and untick display alert on screen.. that should stop the device "waking up" but will still alert you with the reminder sounds.

Disable wake up for notifications?

I noticed that the 8525 does not wake for new email - just get audible alert. Any way to have it behave like this for other notifications such as new txt msg or incoming call? My device spends the majority of the day in my pocket.
After some further research I found some apps for Palm that appear to do this and an app for PPC called Pocket Guard that comes close. What I really want is to make it so that my device will not wake unless I press the power button. I just want audible or vibration alerts when the device is off. Any input is greatly appreciated.
I'm confused. Anyway, try Setting->S & Notification -> New email messages
I like the way it behaves with new email - I just get an audible alert and the device does not turn on. I want to setup all other notifications to behave this way including incoming calls. I wouldn't mind pressing the power button before answering a call. There are no notification settings to prevent wake.
All other PDAs I have used turned on when receiving new email. This leads me to believe that there might be a reg hack or something to disable wake with other notifications as well.
Me too. I'm bothered by my pda2k waking up when it's in my pocket (e.g. going in/out of bluetooth car kit range, receiving call, receiving sms). The screen can come on, but the screen and easy-to-bump buttons should remain locked until one of the firm buttons is pushed.
Do the designers actually use these devices?!
The program I mentioned above is actually called ScreenGuard (http://www.pocketmax.net/) and will probably do what you want. It will allow the screen to come on but all buttons and screen are locked. You have to enter a combination of 2 programmable keys to unlock. WM5 beta is available in the support forum. I believe that are still working Hermes support but you can check it out. It didn't fully lock everything when I tried it.
I am not interested in any locking security. Just wanting to keep it from waking when I don't want it to. You also cannot use the power button for ScreenGuard.

light up when recieve text?

Hi, site looks great, need to explore more, but reason i am here at mo is i'm trying to find out if there is a way to let the phone light up when a text is received? like a conventional phone/ this is my first wondows mobile / pocket pc thing, so its taking some time getting used to it
At moment though i have to press the power button to check if any texts, and this will be using power as pressing it when no texts are in (phone is silent at work)
IS this poss to achieve? either through settings, or a app?
You can use HD Tweak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505) to turn on a feature that causes your phone to turn on when you receive a text.
You can also go to the Sounds and Notifications setting in your phone and check the box that will cause your little LED light on the power button to keep flashing until you check your message.
thanks for the help, will look into that
I did that and works great (thanks to HD Tweak) but I found out why they decided to not turn on the screen by default... whenever I receive a SMS and the phone is on my pocket, I start making calls by mistake...

Go to "Settings, Buttons"
Either select "Lock Device" or "Always display Quick list"
Long press on the end call key will then Lock all input so even if the phone does wake, it wont respond unless unlocked.
Locked phone is essential if you have a Bluetooth car or Earpiece as the phone will wake everytime on connect/disconnect also.

You should try csdevctrl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386451 this program has an option to auto unlock the phone if it has woken up manually. If the phone has woken up by itself (incoming call, new reminder, alarm, new sms, low battery life warning, etc) it remains locked. Try it
It's not what you asked EXACTLY but it should cover your needs.

Vibration in SILENT MODE?

I hate vibration on phones. Period. Hate it. I must be doing something wrong because when I silence my phone, it always seems to vibrate when I get a phone call.
This is how I am setting my HD2 to silent:
Scroll over to setting Tab in manila>Sound & Display>Check Silent.
Sometimes I like to play music (with HD2 in pocket) while I am doing my work but don't want to be interrupted with a vibration from phone call, so I use the hardware button to lower volume to zero (Not pressing the silent button) while keeping system's volume up so I can hear the music.
No matter what, I my HD2 still vibrates when I get a phone call.
Help me get rid of the Vibrations!!
Actually I was just hunting for a solution to this.
I don't understand what the point of having separate options for "silent" and "vibrate" are when silent also vibrates?
I have no issue with vibration for other reasons - I just want silent to be just that; when I want it to vibrate I would select vibrate....
When you check 'silent', scroll down to 'notification sounds' and in there you'll probably see the slider is set to vibrate. turn it off there and see if that works

When I do this, or press a volume key and tap "Silent" at the bottom of the volume screen, my phone stays correctly silent with no vibration.
My usual ring settings are even on "vibrate and ring".

[Q] Vibrate on call

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with my S5 which is starting to become problematic. When I set my phone to vibration mode and I am called, the phone only vibrates once (shortly) and then goes silent. It does not keep vibrating. This is an issue as my phone is always on vibrate whenever I am at work and I'm missing a lot of calls due to this.
I've tried setting a custom vibrate pattern to no success. When sound is on I can choose to 'vibrate when ringing', but this option is greyed out when I set the phone to vibrate only.
Is this the intended way of functoning? Can I change it somehow? Thanks in advance!
