Toggling touch-screen on/off

Does anyone know a software that can toggle touch-screen feature on/off on Magitians?
I don't mean blanking the screenduring a call, but rather a program that blocks screen tapping. I want to operate my S110 with buttons without worrying about accidental screen touches.

Hi
You can always use TPenable.exe and TPdisable.exe from any Extended ROM.
Good luck

Thanks but... TPDisable.exe disables all buttons also. So, it doesn't work for me.

Hi, do a search for "mortsaver".

I know MortSaver. This program turns screen off entirely, not only touch-screen feature. So, doesn't work for me either.

As far i understud, you can configurate it to do what ever you need:
"What is it good for?
MortSaver is a combination of screensaver, keylock, and a "stay off!" function.
Screensaver:
The display's turned off, but the PPC keeps running (e.g. for audio players). In spite to other tools, MortSaver turns off the dispay again if it's been switched on by e.g. an alert or the on/off button.
Keylock: All buttons (except the one necessary for deactivation, of course) are locked, as far as it's possible to me. A few programs sadly use some undocumented tricks, which allows them to get the button presses even if they're assigned to MortSaver in the system, or set themselfes as topmost window, by which the direction pad keys will be sent to this window. Disabling MortSaver can be done either with one button or a sequence of two buttons.
"Stay off!": PocketPCs are often switched on by themselves or accidentally - by alerts (appointments, SMS, ...) or accidental button presses in your pocket. In those cases, MortSaver can turn off the device again after a selectable timespan (so you recognize MortSaver's active and the device alive).
After power on or system-caused disabling of the screensaver, MortSaver shows a countdown until the screen or device (depending on settings, also see instructions), the button(s) to deactivate it, the time, battery level, a user definable text (e.g. owner infos), and on Phone Edition devices also signal strength and hints about missed calls and SMS."

I am not saying that Mortsaver does not deliver what promises. Simply I am looking for something different.
To rephrase what I need in other words:
1/ having screen on (to see what is on the screen)
2/ having device making no reaction on screen taps
3/ having all button working (slider, power, application)
I've configured my S110 to operate and run everything I need on the run by one hand using just buttins. But quite often accidental touch by finger or cloth (when I pulling it of the pocket or putting it back) stops what I run or making a second call to the person I've just talked.

Ok, now i get your meaning. Perhaps yo can ask directly to mort developer as i did many times at his own email witch you can find at his web page.

Look for Pocketmax ScreenGuard works perfectly. Costs some money though.

ScreenGuard ( http://www.pocketmax.net/screenGuard.htm ) still locks the buttons, though? Except for the green call button - and then only when you also use their PhoneAlarm app.

ScreenGuard falls close to what I am looking to. But it locks buttons and couple of times it locked "too good" - I couldn't unlock my device and needed to HR.

maybe u want to try this...
assign it to any button to lock....
to unlock, hold record button and calendar button...
i assigned it to record button for easy usage...
cheers...

But this one also turns screen off :-(

Program phone lock

I have the Cingular 8525. Is there a way to program the phone lock to a button (email button on the top left). when an email comes I get notified automatically and I don't have the use of that email button on the top left. I would rather have it assigned to lock the phone.
Is there a way to do it, since lock phone is not one of the options in the drop down, in the assigning buttons on the menu.
any help is much appreciated...thank you.

Use the search button! It opens up doorways into the magical worlds, much like Narnia.
Use Yet Another Device Lock, or my own VJDeviceLock.

Can Autolock be disabled?

I want to use an application to control it, can it be disabled?

Im not aware of an application designed to do what you are asking. However, you can use power manager to change the profile to keep the phone awake all the time. It would still lock when in standby, AFAIK.

Settings->sound & display->screen timeout->never

Turning off the screen timeout off wont disable autolock. And yes, there are "slider" programs that immitate the iphone unlocked, which gets annoying to use when i have to hit menu to get out of autolock, and do the slider.

Go to anycut create an activity for setup wizard when it says touch screen, touch and quickly remove the battery, when you restart it will be disabled but you also loose the home key function, along with the green function, but it works if you can live without those.

that worked great but i dont think i can live with out the home and call buttons, how do i get them back?

Just run the wizard again and follow it through till the end and reset your phone.

¸¸.•*¨*•.¸¸ screen activation option with BT ear set

Is there a way in which I can keep the screen locked while a BlueTooth ear set is being used in order to keep the active screen from opening other programs and calling others while in my pocket?

I believe if you hit the settings menue at the bottom left corner it says "LOCK SCREEN"

I'm failing to find "lockscreen"
clicking the "menu" button under the settings tab only brings up "all settings"
Is there another way to find lockscreen or did you, by chance, leave out a few steps?

Lock screen slider no longer appears and on/off button behaving weirdly

Lock screen suddenly stopped working without me changing any settings, etc. Tried a couple of fixes and now the off button no longer sends the phone to sleep, instead it just freezes the whole phone. I have to then hold it for 2-3 seconds to get the "Turn phone off ... lock phone ..." popup > press cancel > phone returns to home screen and it's working again.
As I write this, I've removed "Chris' lock slider middle" app and now the off button sends the phone to sleep. But when I wake it up, the home screen flashes/blinks as it does so.
Loads of info comes up on forum search, but I haven't been able to find a straightforward fix. Any ideas? The problem with this is that the phone keeps waking up (to home screen) in its pouch when in my pocket etc - not good because random things can then happen.
EDIT: Have just removed the password unlock option and that has at least stopped the screen from flashing/blinking on wake up. But still no lock slider.
Thanks

lock
Usually for example after flashing is necessary to lock device ones in WM itself. Have you already tried this simple procedure?
Press HW button with WM logo - > at bottom menu press "Lock"

I haven't flashed the ROM - it's a stock unbranded one.
Pressing WM logo button > lock = shows the old style lock message, not the slider. The weird thing is that even this doesn't work when I'm running Sportypal. And I use Sportypal to record my runs/mtbing - hence I need to be sure the phone locks properly when this and GPS is on in the background, otherwise the home screen get activated (by movement) and anything can happen.
Am also running CHT 1.8.5, B&B tweaks ...
Cheers

You guys are running a lot more programs than I am, but I just had the lock slider screen disappear again after installing a small program. This has happened before, too.
To get the slider screen back I just have to press on the bottom right end hardkey and then press "Lock Device." The slider screen comes back and then reappears each time the screen shuts off.
You've probably already done this.

Yes I have, but the slide lock doesn't appear. It reverts to the "To unlock the device, tap Unlock" screen instead. I.e the whole slider thing just doesn't exist anymore.
I thought I might be able to change it using CHT Editor 1.8, but it won't launch (never has) - I just get the same error as always:
"CHTEditor.exe
NullRefernceException

CHTEditor.CHTEditor_MainWindow.Check
Version()
at
CHTEditor.CHTEditor_MainWindow.RunSt
artupProcess()
at
CHTEditor.CHTEditor_MainWindow..ctor()
at CHTEditor.Program.Main(String{}
args)"
I've read that you can "control" the slider from within CHT Editor but unfortunately I've never been able to open it. All I can do it use home screen > menu > Edit quick links OR Edit home layout.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

ohh, now I have the same problem ones
I have installed CHT 1.8.5 and uninstaled Metro lock ... seems to be a problem of new CHT, better check the original CHT thread, maybe someone already solve it

I uninstalled 1.8.5 and installed 1.8.5.1.
CHT Editor now launches properly so I've set up the CHT lock slider to work - and it does. I still have to click WM > lock > on/off for it to do it though - but that's not really a problem. Still no sign of the original HTC lock slider though.
Only other problem is CHT Editor can no longer be launched via home screens > menu > CHT Editor. It says it's not installed. I guess this is because when I originally installed CHT it was set to open 1.8.5 - and now that's been uninstalled, it needs to point to 1.8.5.1. I'll have a search for that - but I'm hoping everything is available via the app icon anyway because that works.
