I'm using Spb Pocket Plus Today Plug in and one icon I put is the "Suspend" system function. It works generally fine but if the light of phone buttons (red and green) are still on when I click the suspend button, they just don't go off. The power button on the phone works fine.....
How to resolve this? Please let me know!
use toggle button
use toggle button, this will be fine

I use the MDA Pro.
On the right side of the IR-port is a button to switch backlight on/off.
I can only manage to switch backlight off. What about you?
Is there a chance to give this button a more usefull function?
Btw. the button right of the camera button has assigned two funktions (press/keep pressed). Can this multifunction be added to other buttons?
yes that's what happens with my one too - i hope there will be chance to change the function - atm this button is pretty useless.
About one week after my post I use the button very often.
Mostly because the Universal does not switch "on" when I open the lid.
Downloaded and installed the Shut Down Cab on my Wing. The three options are:
1. Light Off
2. Shut Down (Does not Power Off, only turns off screen?)
3. Soft Reset
My question is: Should Shut Down turn the Power Off? If not, what is the purpose of this compare to Light Off?
Thanks
Press any key if you press Lights off. You'll see that your phone is still on but just with the lights off.
Shutdown is like when you press your power button on the top.
Soft reset, well... speaks for itself.

Thank you. Apparently Shutdown and Lights off do the same thing for me as I can touch any key after using either one and the phone works as if it were Lights off.
Maybe I don't see the purpose of them as being separate functions.
Check "keyboard lock" (more or less.. my wing rom is in spanish) under configuration - system and make sure it's set to "block all buttons except power button" if not, every button will power on your device after shutdown, making it look like turning the lights on.
Hope works for you.

Yes, that is correct. That is why I said that both options are doing the same thing. I would have thought that one would Power Off.
Again, thank you for your input. I do appreciate it.
Is is possible / any way to mod the power button??
like... trigger an event ( apps, wav/mp3 clip...etc) when it is being pressed??
guess it would be fun to play with
AE Button Plus seems to work on all buttons except the X panel button and the power button. But do you really want to modify that button that you use so often to switch the phone into standby?
I'm using the first state of the camera button for the alt+tab function from pocket plus. There you have a tip on a button that isn't used for anything as long as you are not using the camera.
programmatically this can be done, since it is possible to trap power on and power off event..

Power red Led on X1
Since you are talking about the power button have any of you noticed that it have a red led?
I've seen mine lit some times, but only when my X1 runs completely out of battery, when I plug it to the charger the led it's on for 5 Min +- and I think the purpose of it is to announce that the device isn't charged enough to start as it wont star if I press the button, only when the standard 4 led's begin to do the usual animation it will start (by this time the power red led it off).
I've look in some manual's and didn't even find a reference to this led..
I think it would be great if we could port this led to do some notifications as it is way more noticeable than the regular led notifications.
really? but how?
I know nothing abt programming...seriously.....
I just wanna play a sound clip when it is pressed on and another one when off
I had noticed when I tried to update though sony ericsson's update tool, I was connected it with the computer by usb cable, and when I removed the batt. the LED lits

new prog that uses the power button
Hi All
Anyone have a fix for getting the key mapped (in Nitrogen) HTC side volume toggle to work with the screen off..?
It works OK with the screen on, but going to blank screen while listening makes it cease to work. I am using v1.2 Alpha 4, all else seems to work well (apart from the shuffle-play repeating some tracks).
Oh, locking keys in the general settings produces a message "your device has no key lock support".
Any insight appeciated.....
Cheers
Jabberoo
Anyone at all....?
Cheers

Really...
I have a stock 6.5 SEA ROM, with Alpha 4. I have mapped the volume (side) toggle thru the options and it works just fine, with the screen ON.
Turn the screen OFF and it does nothing?
So, does yours work OK with the screen OFF..?
If so, i need to perhaps grab another copy and reinstall, or.........
Cheers
jabberoo
they will work with the screen off if i press the sleep screen button on nitrogen (the power looking button).
if i press my hard power button to sleep then i dont think the keys work

Oh OK, thx for the info.
It seems mine doesn't work like yours for some reason, my mapped volume buttons do not work when activate the blank screen button on the Nitrogen Player...?
I think i will reinstall it and see if it changes.....
Later.....
Tried a reinstall but no change for my device, the volume toggle still does not work with the screen off??

Hi,
I've read on here that you can do a soft reset without taking cover off and pressing the actual reset button, but I can't find it again. I've looked on hints and tips, wiki, and searched. Can anyone help please?
Cheers
You'll be needing the TouchX Reset & Wifi shortcuts then
You can get them off this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4947950&postcount=1
It creates 2 shortcuts in your start menu. 1 for resetting, and 1 for toggling wifi. You can then add to your quicklinks, if you so wish.
Hope this helps
You could always switch off + switch on but johncmolyneux suggested works as well, although I used a cab so as when I push the switch off button, I get a new menu with various options, including soft reset.
Forgot which one it is though
Snerkler,
Some good suggestions here. Be aware that these will only work if the device is NOT in the grip of death, as I call it.
If it has died then there's no option but to take the back off and either press the little red button or take the battery out.

The 'out of the box' method, without resorting to additional applications is to press and hold the Power key for 3 seconds.
This opens up a context menu which includes 'Power Off'. This is a full 'power off' state with all background processes stopped. Pressing the power button again restarts the phone as in a soft reset.

So turning the phone off and on again is a soft reset???? If that's the case why are there cabs for soft reset, seems a bit strange to me. Wish I'd known that before when installing some of the cabs and taking the back cover off to press the reset button

I know what you mean about the "grip of death" lol. Been there already.
Turning the phone fully off then on again is the same as a soft reset. A simple on/off isn't.
If the device goes through the splash screens on restarting (as after the power button 'hold' switch off) that is a soft reset.
I use a stand alone program called psShutXP which is available on This Page - download the VGA version. It runs as a small Screen Off/Suspend/Power Off utility.

I'm not sure what you mean by fully off, and simple on/off. Are you referring to power off, and sleep? In which case I was referring to power off, ie hold power button and then select power off

Sorry - could you explain that please? Is there a difference between turning the phone off, and "fully" off?? I assume you're not refering to simply switching off the display when you say a "simple on/off", as that's not off at all.
You've lost me there mate.
There are 3 or 4 suspend states- sorry, but I can't remember what all 4 are
There is 'screen off' which simply turns off the screen but keeps all currently active programs running. This is only available by using a 'Display Off' or 'Screen Off' switch such as the 'Toggle Screen' option in Media Player. WFi and GPS remain active in this state.
The next is 'Suspend' by pressing the power button. This turns off the screen and some functions such as WiFi and GPS and some media players also stop working but the phone remains responsive and timed notifications will still work.
Next is the 'full power off' I mentioned which you get by pressing and holding the power button. This turns off all functions, phone features and stops all notifications working.
That's what I was clumsily trying to say when I mentioned that a 'full power off' has the same effect as a soft reset- as opposed to a 'screen off' or 'suspend'.
[Edit: Having tried this a little more, it may be that the HD2 doesn't differentiate between states 1 and 2 ?. Due to the lack of hardware button configuration, Media Player's Screen Toggle can't be assigned to a button. psShutXP's Display Off button works, but on turning on again, the lock screen starts, which shouldn't happed with a simple display switch. ]

OK, thanks for the explanation
