Hi all,
I just can't find an answer to this.
I would like to map the "Device Unlocked" function to a button on the phone - that is, press a button to lock the phone.
Is this available as a Windows file that I can map to a button?
TIA
If you download Batterystatus (plusplus), there's a "Device Lock on wakeup" function, so when you press the off button on the side to suspend the device the keys lock. Does that help?
Thanks - I'll try it.
I've done this with the program HButton...to programm a 1 second hold button to lock the device....programm the 1 second hold function to the program devicelock.exe ....you'll find that programm somewhere here....and also HButton....working great!
Got it installed and working.
Brilliant, thanks.
As a tip from another thread, I downloaded BatteryStatus also, and installed it. After that, I copied BSDeviceLock.exe from my Windows dir to the SD card and made a shortcut to the Start Menu.
After that you can map it to any button you like in the normal button setting panel
How about a thread for little tips and tricks for working this new toy? Has anyone found a way to increase the text size in the calendar? Cant read it without glasses...

I don't take credit for all these.

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Streetview > Clear Data
Hold down Menu when powering on goes into safe mode
THIS WAS POSTED ELSEWHERE AND IS VERY IMPORTANT IF YOUR PHONE CRASHES.
Awesome list
getting rid of icons on your home screen
Here's a cool one I just learned. Hold and press the icon you want to get rid of. you'll feel a short vibrate. after the vibration you can move the icon around or delete it by dragging it to the little gray trashcan that appears at the bottom of the page. This won't delete the program, just the icon.
Great tips! Where do you get this information? I would like to
access even more information.
Also, how do you shut down particular programs running in the
background? Thanks.

folders on home and menu????
I see mention of renaming folders but I can't even figure out how to make a folder. Anyone know how?

The easiest way is to:
1. On home screen press and hold
2. when the menu pops up select "shortcur"
3. select the first option "folder"
4. done.
To rename the folder (only cause I didn't understand the first post):
1. open the folder
2. press and hold the top bar of the open folder, otherwise known as the 'dock'
3. type in name and change it.
4. Done.

or what format do they have to be in?

Create a folder on your memory card names 'ringtones' and place your .mp3's in there.
First, unplug your phone from the USB port, then edit a contact. You should see your new ringtones in the list.
Save pictures from messages?
This possible? I can't figure it out?

Only folders can be renamed

I don't think there is a way to change the name of a shortcut once it's made. Also I think only Any Cut gives you a choice about the name at all.

Download anycut and you can rename any app shortcut as well.
While using the web browser, double tap the trackball rapidly to zoom out with a magnified area. Press again to zoom into that area
music?
When doing the ringtones memory card trick, will the ringtones stay out of the music list? For example
, in the music player app... I am hoping that ringtones will stay out of the music app. Can anyone confirm or deny?
I want my phone to lock everytime I switch it off, so far the only way I can do it is by setting up a password. Anyway I can do it skipping that step?
Thanks

us this. wat im using locks when screen goes off.
Get keyboard config remapping tool, then do the following
1. Add key (press the power button on top of the device)
2. Click the + icon next to Actions, and pick Run Program from the drop down menu (browse to Devicelock.exe located in windows folder, or so it seems)
3. then add an additional Action, this time pick Action Type > Power Management > Power Toggle or Suspend Device from the drop down menu
okay everything is done and voila, your device now locks and turns it's screen off every time you press the power button on the top, and when you press the power button again it welcomes you with the slide to unlock screen.
I have attached all the necessary cab files below, the shortcutsandicons cab simply makes shortcut for you to the devicelock.exe in the start menu.
search for smartlock
The first link worked perfect! THANKS!
every suggestion so far locks the screen, but then I have to enter my password to unlock, it is only supposed to ask every 30 minutes, on my old 8525 i could lock the screen and then press a softkey and then a location on the touchscreen to unlock, is there anything similiar for the tilt2, or someway to configure any of the suggestions in this thread for that functionallity?
thanks
i use s2u2 works awesome no password needed ( but optional 4 the nosies lol)

dont worry ive tried it and doesnt work, it opens the short cut key but also opens panled.
how ?
how do you opens the short cut key , because i erased all panels end slideview, and when i push it it does't open nothing
Well - i did it the stupid way, just renamed the application to PanelManager.exe and put it under Program Files/PanelManager ---- works fine it is a little tricky with the slide view because i still need it for the FM Radio and it also opens it by default for many other things live media files and missed calls, however, you can go and remove these defaults one by one...Hope this helps
Try to change some keys in HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/keypad
SlideView button keys - pm_***
nothing like "SlideView button keys" in "HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/keypad"

I've made an alternative radio for X2. For regret, it is only pre-beta with some small bugs, but I have no time to fix them. Hope, you'll forget about SlideView like about fearful dream

I was sending a text message and when I tried to long press the 'm' key to type a question mark I realized all of my long press punctuation options are gone. Puzzled, I looked in the keyboard's settings for a solution but couldn't find anything. I find it much less convenient to have to press the Sym button every time I want to insert punctuation. Has anyone else experienced this?

*EDIT: When i press "m" or other letter i haven't nothing sorry
That is so weird. I swear I could long press a letter and it would come up with a symbol. Oh well thanks for your help
For anyone interested, I did find an app that adds this feature onto your stock keyboard called Samsung Keyboard Alt Symbols, and it can be downloaded through the Xposed Installer.
