How preventing incoming SMS to wake up device?
When I have the trinity in my trousers and a SMS is received, the device switches on. This is not so good because then accidentally keystrokes may happen, or the device will not switch off because of interaction.

you can set security password stand by at 2 minutes. If you recieve an sms notification you have to insert the code to unlock the device and read the sms preventing you from keystrokes.

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.
hello,
Is there anybody that know of its possible te turn OFF, that when a SMS receive or a Event comming up, that the screen/device is not go on.
When I have my p3600 in my jacket or so and a SMS receive, then my device is turning on.
Sometimes I don't hear that and the p3600 start a few programms...
I don't want to lock my screen, because I must then everytime a turn the device on more actions do before I can do something.
When I become a email the p3600 go not on, thats what I want also for SMS and Events.
I have try to say 'not display on screen' but that isn't the solution.

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.
I have solved the problem of accidentally answering incoming phone calls whilst the device is in my pocket (thank you Answerkeydisable), but a bigger problem for me is that (only sometimes) an incoming SMS message automatically fires up the reply screen (including the keyboard). The leather case then types millions of characters - completely draining the battery on occasions. I can't find any way of turning off this auto-reply screen - am I missing something?

It only happens with incoming email, SMS and calls are fine.
When I try to reproduce the problem, I simply have to wait for the phone to check for new mail. The the phone notifies me about new email. If I try to turn the screen on, it won't. The hard button lights up, indicating the phone is on but I can't interact with the screen. Resetting the phone via the red button is the only remedy.
If I act real fast when new mail comes, sometimes I'm able to start sliding to unlock but it still crashes. If I'm really fast I'm able to even get to the mail screen but it still crashes.
But the crash does not occur if I'm already using the phone when new email comes in. If I want to reproduce it, I have to leave the phone "alone", with the screen off. If the screen is on when the new mail comes in, the crash does not occur.
The problem started occurring with completely stock phone, the very first day, without making changes. As I cab tweaked the phone, (no ROM) the problem persists, it happens.
Because of this problem, when I wake up in the morning, I can't use my phone because the screen doesn't turn on and I have to restart the phone so I can use it. My mail send/receive interval is set for 4 hours so while I sleep the phone receives new email at least once.
I investigated similar problems for TP2 and Touch HD but it does not help.
I backed up everything on my phone so I'm ready to make changes if you have any advice. I checked for: changing the email ring tone, wake up on new email setting. They have no effect on this problem.
After this happens, I tried calling my phone. It will not ring, but the hard buttons light up but are unresponsive, I can't neither pick up nor reject the incoming call. I sent an SMS to the phone in this state, it didn't do anything.
Do you have knowledge that can help me? Is anyone willing to try to reproduce the problem on their phone?
All you would do is set any ring tone for incoming mail, leave the phone with the screen off and "wait" for new email to come in. Don't do anything for a minute and then check if the crash occurred.
Please help, I hate waking up to a crashed phone that I need to restart every time. Because of this problem, setting a wake up alarm is useless.
If you can't help with this, at least is there any way I can "force" the phone to restart without removing the battery cover?
Thank you.
