Is this supposed to do anything?
If you have the "power off after..." option set, then you can switch it back on again with that button. Other than that, I'm not sure it has a purpose.
Cheers,
Steve.

I've got my Exec setup to switch off the screen backlight after a short delay when on battery. Pressing the lightbulb button switches the backlight on again.
If you don't set your exec to switch off the backlight, then I can see why this button won't be massively useful for you.
Read the threads on how to assign apps to the lightbulb button, to make it useful.

Got that set - but the button doesn't do anything for me. I'll try the reg hack version that's in this thread and see if it then works.

Is there a way to enable automatic key lock? I know you can put a security code lock but that is not what I am refering to. On the today screen you can press the lock icon "device unlocked" to lock the screen on the phone. I am looking for an automatic version of this function.
come on i know there has to be a solution to this

Hi,
On my MDA Vario, under Settings, System then Power, under advance you can set the device to turn off, i.e. still working, but can not be unlocked by tapping, you have to press the power button.
Hope it helps.

I know that option, its default. I want to have to power it on AND then press the unlock button on the screen.

There's a program here made for Windows Mobile Smartphone. You could try and see if it works on the Wizard. If it does let us know.

Hi,
Has anybody found a solution please ?
Automatic keylock does not work on my HTC cruise.
Also, has anyone found a better solution than the original one to unlock the device since it is hard to see something under the sun to unluck it while screen is in the dark, isn't it ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I found a ggod program to lock the htouch: S2U2.
Working perfectly.
Have a nice day.
Ok I tried to do some searching for the front "Ok" button but either I didn't find any or I'm not searching using the right words so if you know of the answer, if you could either help or point me to the correct thread that'd be greatly appreciated.
Anyways, I am looking to, if possible, set the front "ok" button to actually close the program rather than minimize it.
SPB Pocket Plus?
Hi,
Check the quick menu (which actually replaces the default startmenu).
quick menu have an option to close the application on OK button instead of minimize.
good luck

Is there any way i can shorten the time that long press+endkey takes to lock my htc 3g? I'd like to have 1 sec, not 2 or 3..
i found in HKCU\software\htc\longpressendkey that changing the value you change the function (es 1=airplane mode, 2= lock, and so on), but nothing about the lenght..
cheers everyone!
I dare to say that NO. You cannot shorten it. This sucks big time. I am using a hardware key mapper to assign one of the volume keys to lock the device instead. And there is a REALLY great 3d party locking app out there called Pocketshield. It is cheap and perfect and the latest v3 beta looks even better. All the updates for this app are almost always very handy. This is self-initiative promotion. It REALLY IS GREAT!
Why not use this customised method.. one tap >> locked instantly

Come on no need to apologize... I just mentioned it. BTW maybe someone likes to have the homescreen always there
You can use CSDEVCTRL.
I set it to lock after 10secs of idle time, or right after I press the power button.
So many other options available. Ref: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386451
Come on guys - s2u2 is simply the best! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527523

Well no doubt about it: s2u2 takes the cake!

Locking won't work unless you go to start, Lock, then the mail and locking via the power button will work again.
That's what i meant. Start->Lock and then unlock and open email.
Not power button to turn off the screen and power button to turn it back on
Anyway, i hope it helped.

I just thought an explanation was needed. You can imagine the response would have been "but it doesn't lock when I press the button"

Is there no personalize option on your settings tab, or no vibration option in the personalize screen...?

Ok this one is gonna drive me batty until I figure it out
(Pardon the questions, just want to be sure)...Are we talking about the same thing, the "Settings" tab in Sense, not the "all settings" screen (the WM settings group that looks like the start menu)..?
And, when you're on the settings tab, are you sure you're scrolled all the way to the top of that list?
How in the world does my stock ROM have it there, and yours doesn't??
MINE DOES

I am running the Stock ROM as well and it is exactly as you stated sirphunkee! These guys must be a little confused. That is the first thing I stopped. It saved a lot on battery life.
HERE IT IS AGAIN. START/SETTINGS/PERSONALIZE/VIBRATION!
If I knew how to track registry changes in real-time, I'd just change the setting and see what change gets made as a result. But, I don't

Hit the keyboard so swype comes up.... Hit the "SYM" Key, then hit the shift key/the arrow pointing up/then hit OPT then you will see it listed and uncheck! BINGO!

Sir Phunk have you seen anything on the boards about disabling or turning off vibration during call waiting? I'm running Core Cell V3 ROM and when you are in a call and get another the handset vibrates which 1.) Isn't pleasant to your ear, 2.) Whoever you are talking to can hear it really loud. Figured you might now, thanks ahead of time...
Nevermind, found it on the boards
I have another question related to vibration on the HD2. This has been asked before, in another thread, but has anybody found a solution to the stuck vibration issue? I usually get it from time to time through e-mail notification vibration. It will vibrate in pulses 3 times. On the third time it will hang until I press a hard button. This is very annoying, and I have disabled the notification vibrate for now.

Honestly, no, I don't know off the top of my head where that setting is, I might have guessed in the notifications settings? I'm curious to hear what you found out...
