Unlock with power button ?

When I leave my Jasjar running for a few minutes without touching it, the screen goes black and the only way to bring it back is to press the power button... but I would like to be able to press the keyboard buttons or touch the screen to bring it back... any ideas ?
and yes, "Do not lock buttons" has been checked in the Lock tab of the Buttons settings...
Any ideas greatly appreciated !

If you press that stupid 'Backlight' button it comes back on too!
Although thats pretty useless too! :roll:

any way to lock phone when making calls

I get annoyed of my cheeck touching the screen and pressing buttons. I want it to lock so I don't touch it by accident. Any options like that?

Newest version of Slide 2 Unlock can do this for you, its in the forums

Can't you just turn the power off when you start a call?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this is what i do, because i don't like the random button pressing either. just hit the power button on the top of the phone after you make the call, so the screen turns off. you'll still be connected to your call.

Or you can just go to the home screen and lock the the device

How to wake up phone with power or end call button?

So I run S2U2 and have it set to blank screen on talk. This works great since I occasionally would hang up on people or press buttons when my face touched the soft buttons on the screen. However, I also have Key Lock setup so my phone doesn't randomly come on all the time and drain the battery while it's in the holster. I also had a couple occasions (before turning on key lock) where S2U2 didn't come on and I ended up calling someone without knowing it.
Anyway, the problem I run into now is that when I'm done on the phone and want to hang up, the end call button is locked out and I have to first press power to get the screen back and then hang up. Is there something in between where I can have both the power and hang up button enabled while locked? Optimally the hang up button would only be enabled during a call so it wouldn't wake up the phone when not in use. A search brought up products like AE Buttons, but I didn't see an option to do what I want.
Thanks,

software to lock keys during call?

Is there a software that will lock my keys and buttons including the ones on the side during a call? I'm always inadvertently hitting or pressing some button during a call.

Just press the power button to turn the display off which in turns locks the keys. you have to press the power button again to turn the display back on

thanks but i'm not looking to turn the phone OFF, i need to not have the buttons active during a phone call when the phone is ON.
I oftentimes accidentally press some button or another when I get a phone call. When I used to have a Treo 700wx there was a feature to lock all buttons during a phonecall. I'm looking for that functionality here as well.

I also had a Treo, but I don't find the need for the key lock anymore on my XV6800. I don't think I've ever accidentally pushed a button during a call.

Screen lock unusable?

With all that screen to touch, having this thing wake up in your pocket (or holster in my case) it bad - it registers keypresses all over the place, and so far it's deleted appointments and other fun stuff for me.
There is the screen lock (hold down right-most softkey a few seconds) but for me at least if an alert wakes the phone, the screen activates and looks normal, but all hardkeys are disabled. Can't even shut the phone down, have to hit the soft reset button, so conveniently located under the battery cover (argh, talk about dumb design choices...)
So anyone have any ideas on the screen lock? I'd even be willing to dedicate the left-most soft-key long-press to a third party lock, as long as it works properly.

u can use s2u2 IPHONE like screen lock

Hold the hang up button to lock, to unlock press the word unlock and a screen will apear saying To unlock device Tap unlock.

Yeah I did that, the hold hang up button thing... that's what's partly unlocking itself, which is a pain to say the least.
Gonna try Throttlelock. Haven't found any really Manila-lookalike skin yet but it seems to do what I want - lock the device - and even adds a little security.

And what about just clicking once on the power button after locking the device using the hold hang up thing?
Doesn't it does what you need? Press again to wake up the mobile?

No, what happen is: I hold down end call to get the device to lock. Then I tap the power button to close down the screen too.
However, a reminder kicks in and that brings the screen back online AND live, so touching it can do stuff. But, the device is still somehow "locked"... except the only thing that is well and truly locked are all the buttons. Power button, volume buttons, even the softkeys on the front, none of them do anything, but the screen works only too well.
There is now way I found to recover from that state except a soft reset. That boots the device - in locked mode, so I have to hit Unlock and then tap the button on the middle of the screen.
I need a lock that is lock, ie it doesn't activate the screen or buttons no matter what, until I unlock it myself. Looks like Throttlelock may be the answer though.
