I saw this idea in another thread that I don't currently remember, and I thought I could do it.
Kontoor fades out the screen, suspends the device, and when it is resumed, the screen comes in fading.
The zipped EXE file is attached below. You're supposed to place it somewhere into internal memory and put a shortcut to it to \Windows and name it "Short_Power.lnk", but it doesn't work on my device and Kontoor doesn't run. I'm seeking help for that! Many thanks.
Note that the attached EXE file is a test version.
Also, note that there may be other problems or improveable areas:
- starting the program 2 times will most probably wreck havoc (or pressing the power button 2 times , if it works for you)
- most probably, will not work when in games and other framebuffer-apps
- taskbar changes to "Start" before fading, if nothing changes it's better
- sluggish PDA's (like the HTC Universal I have) may experience added slowdown during resume
- ****ty PDA's (like the HTC Universal ) flash a brief white screen when resuming... it's a bit anti-aesthetic, and I can't control that
many thanks for you audience
yeah..it was requested by nesty24...thanks
wtf... i post something here, hoping it'll get some attention, and the only attention I get is the spam's
I tried it on my Prophet and Kaiser on prophet it does nothing at all. on kaiser it fades out nicely and I like it but when I press to turn screen on it fades out again. having real dificulties turning my screen back on. but the fading looks cool and now I have a reason to flash my next test rom
The exe works fine on my Sprint Vogue. I don't have a Short_Power.lnk in my Windows dir so when I copied it over, it did nothing. Any other way to set this app to run when the power button is pressed?

You guys probably haven't heard of SuspendFX havent you?
Not all devices use the "short_power.lnk" method. I think newer devices like the Kaiser do, but older devices such as the universal and the Prophet have a different method. I shall look into the registry and see if it links from there.

It costs money is the problem ! However in this case it is such a showstopping program, and if remember very cheap, then I agree with you.... Give him some money and enjoy !(My kids keep asking me to switch on/off my PDA since I bought it !)

hmmm. it is somehow like that, but not fading, i mean, maybe fading maybe a feature, but it's not the real function. The idea was on the backlight, when you didn't touch your device (it is power on) for a several seconds, it fades out or dims and get to normal when you touches it again.
Battery Drain?
I try this on my HTC Touch Cruise. It works perfect, but i think my battery is draining faster. Anyone else who had the some problem?
I think it goes not in really standby mode and the screen is only going blank.
I will test it over night again.

Maybe a mortscript could be written that detects any kind of usage (or lack of usage) and then executes this program after a set time.

That could be done, but I don't think it would work just right on every PDA... most PDA have different screen backlight settings, some have more light steps, some only 3 settings.... and I think it would stress the light hardware....

you're right, the app just turns off the screen but doesn't go on standby mode right away, however, it should still go on automatic standby mode (after 30 seconds for me) if you have configured it on your power settings
if you are using spb mobile shell and have configured to show Now screen when device wakes up, you'll notice if you use this app to turn off the screen and you press power button to wake up your device right away, spb gives a sign that it didn't came from standby mode, it shows the last screen you've left.. just my observation, i could be wrong though

Hi all, just been playing around with Vario II Hermes and when I held the side power on/off button for five seconds it powered down the phone and turned everything off, radio etc just like I a normal mobile. When I do this with the Universal it just turns off the backlight. My question is was this feature built into the Hermes or can I purchase some some software that will do the same on my Uni.
Thanks all for taking the time to read.

Hi cktlcmd, but i think UR mistaken, pshutxp can only restart, switch off display but switch off device cannot- radio is still on and some other progs as well. I think college's looking for something that can switch Uni totaly like if U remove battery. Artemis if i hold powerbutton asks me if i wanna switch off and if yes it switches itself absolutly off (radio, screen ....... no battery drain)
Thanks to the above two for attempting to answer my questions. cktlcmd and phsnake. However as phsnake points out this is EXACTLY what I am looking for. I do not mind paying the price for the software if it exists. Thanks again both of you for replying. The search goes on...

Hi, please, if you find something, tell us.
best regards
For powering down (not putting into standby) a Universal or other xscale htc, try my app VJEschaton (on my website), using the command line -sleep
Please read the info on my website on usage etc. Let me know if it works for you.
V
Perfect, eschalon is working, but after using it it looks like, that U need to use reset hole to start uni.
thx
You do need to poke it I'm afraid. I do mention that on the webpage I think. I never bothered to tweak the app beyond the initial test, it does what I need to do
BTW, Eschaton, not eschalon.
V
Sorry vijay555..but whit this program,you can power off entirely the Universal??No sleep mode,i intend..
It is possible??
IRREAL: yes, this will power off the Universal and the Magician, and maybe other xscale phones. Not standby, but power off.
I call it "sleep" because I'm not sure if it's 100% off, but I reckon it's about 99% off As far as I can tell, it's off.
V
Sorry, eschaton.
to vijay555, i don't know how it works i gues it "underclocks" processor to i.e. 1hz? just curious.
No, but it does change the processor operation mode to off.
However, there are various hardware components that should normally be "gracefully" powered down, eg the various clocks, LCD, and you should normally ensure that all pending writes to memory have been completed before shutdown.
My version doesn't do all of those things, so you probably couldn't call it a "retail" solution, but it does work, at least for Xscales. The Mio a701 which is also xscale didn't work, so I need to rewrite it, but as I don't use my mio much these days, I didn't bother rewriting it. And now I have a hermes as my main device, which has the samsung processor so is not compatible. I could probably rewrite it to be compatible, but the Hermes already has a power down mode. I've not had time to fully investigate how HTC are shutting it down. It appears to be using some odd undocumented API calls, but it may be something else entirely.

vijay555: I know it's slightly off this topic but how does the Hermes compare to the Universal - I am thinking of upgrading.
I think the Hermes is a great phone, IMHO the best HTC have done of the pre WM6 generation. However, other manufactures have some good stuff out, like the eten GloFish and gigabytes, and the WM6 phones are coming with great VGA screens etc.
But if you're asking how the Hermes is, I think it's great. A little chunky, but not unduly. Highly functional, keyboard is discrete but very usable. Bright screen (with VJLumos III). Does the job, and does it well!
Universal - I don't miss it at all, except for the VGA screen. I've never found the Universal to be a useful phone as I wear a suit all day, and need a phone that slips in my pocket. It's a great phone from a technical point of view, but just too big!
Hermes gets an 8/10 from me, at the time of release. Take into account it's a bit old now though.

Thanks for that. I love the Uni (even as a phone in a suit) but I'm going to have a chance to upgrade soon and I'd like a bit more speed. Open options at the moment seem to be the Hermes, the O2 Zinc. I'd quite like an Imate Ultimate 7150 but I'd have to pay for that!!
Ok..i have installed this app on my Universal..but the function for Power off not is visible in the list??
Vijay how to apply this function?
Thanks.
make shortcut with commandline parameter sleep i.e: ....vjeschaton.exe sleep
for exam with ilauncher or trru aebuttonplus
Can you be more precise for the explanation?
My directory of installation is in the main memory..
thanks.
in resco fileexplorer tap vj...exe,send to starmenu or smth. then edit shcut in npad & at the end add [space]sleep
Make sure that you're using the BETA version, at the bottom of the page on my webpage. (v0.2 at time of writing).
My advice, download the normal cab, install, then download the beta v0.2, write this over the .exe file in the original cab (ie drop it into \program files\vijay555\vjeschaton)
Now you need to make the shortcut as described above.
Easiest way is to find the example shortcuts in your \windows\start menu directory, COPY one, paste it back in as a copy (so you have two copies of a shortcut), then edit the COPIED shortcut, rename it to Sleep, and editing the command line to say sleep)
That should do the job.

Here's a release of a simple flashlight application I created for the mogul based on code Vijay was kind enough to release a while back. Launch the exe once to turn on the camera light, launch it again to disable.
That's the only feature! I've messaged vijay with the value he needs to update his application with mogul support, so I hope he'll do that in the future if he has time. But until then, I whipped up this.
It might be buggy and it isn't quite the fastest application out there (I wish I knew how to query the camera for the current status of the LED) but it's a neat little tech demo that someone might find useful. I'll post the source code later after I have a chance to clean it up.
Report back with any problems as I've only tested this on my device! (Sprint Mogul)
Also, here's the obligatory "this program could possible harm your device and I take no responsibility for such an event." Use with caution and I wouldn't recommend leaving this on for long periods of time.
I'm using it with AEBPlus and have it bound to my camera key.
GREAT WORK! ya i know.... the reason i made the script is 1 for a safety catch and 2 for ikandy...
the script will turn the light on for 30 sec and hten off... 60 sec the off.. or let u do it manually... i personally know i hit buttons sometimes so i set my side button to the 30 sec script...
heres the beta script the icons dont work perfect yet but hell for those of u who cant wait let me introduce... Flashlight by Nilisco WoW and Stroths
**THIS NO LONGER NEEDS MORTSCRIPT!**
ahhhh we have been waiting for this one...good work guys, can't wait to get this tested!

thanks but dont give me the credit ... this one is ALL Nilisco
anyone know how to add a icon to it, so when it shows up on my quicklaunch for the HTC home tab, it has a pretty little icon?
cab updated .... mortscript no longer needed
Vijay's code was the key:
Code:
void fn_FlashMode(int Mode_int)
{
HANDLE CamHandle;
//1=on
//2=off
//DWORD FlashMode=1;
//open camera
CamHandle = CreateFile(TEXT("CIF1:"), GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, 3, 0, NULL);
//Mogul specific device io
DWORD a=0x90002014;
DeviceIoControl(CamHandle, a, LPVOID(&Mode_int), sizeof(Mode_int), 0, NULL, NULL, NULL);
CloseHandle(CamHandle);
}
The only challenge in getting the flashlight working was to find the mogul io, which was right in the htc camera dll. The only way developers can communicate with it (I believe) is the DeviceIoControl win32 function, which is abstracted into functions in the camera dll. So, you just disassemble the driver dll, look for a DeviceIoControl command that looks to have something to do with flash, and bam, you've found the IO as it's a parameter in the function.

}
I didn't bother with the rest of my code (mainly just win32 registry changes to keep track if the light was on or off) as I believe my program will become a bit outdated as soon as someone posts the VJCandela hack they did without his permission.
I like this a lot. Also I'm impressed with the brightness of the moguls flash.
This works great. Any chance of making a version that stays on only if I am holding the specified button?
Vijay had one of his apps that I could assign to my left side 'press and hold' voice dial key. It would only stay on if I held it down and would also turn off after 15 secs of being held.
The current one works, but I am afraid of it staying on, and would also prefer it to turn off sooner when I am done with it.
So far so good though!
This is awesome!
I like the icons too!
Speaking of device-specific code, has anyone considered writing some code to re-route the audio to the internal handset speaker versus the external amplified one?
There are times that I think it would be useful to have audio coming through the handset... like if I want to play back voice recordings for only me to hear (vs the whole world when I play it out loud), or for VOIP apps like Skype. Right now, most voip apps use the outer loud speaker because every device accesses the internal one differently (or so they say).
This is quite a bit more complicated than a flashlite app, but there aren't enough Titan-specific developers yet to ask this anywhere else!
Figured I'd get your thoughts on this idea... what do you think it would take to write a small app to toggle the direction of audio?

LED Killer uses the scripticons.dll file for its icon. The flashlight app must have a customized version of this dll with its own icons added. Try uninstalling then reinstalling the flashlight app, soft reset and you will probably be fine. This will cause the flashlight's scripticons.dll to overwrite the LED Killer one.
EDIT: Don't worry about a virus from wowthatisrandom's post. I did a little work with him on this and its clean.
any one know how to add a icon to this exe? its a nice program but sucks that it has no icon...

if you go to the settings screen and then to buttons, you can reprogram any of the buttons on your device to launch the program. I have my voice recognition speeddial button reset to launch the program. Press it once, it turns on, push it again, it turns off. No need to hold down any buttons.
I was reading through this page:

I was thinking this sort of "transition" before going to sleep would be possible using something like mortscript. I havn't done a lot with mortscript but I was wondering if anyone else thinks this is possible?
WELL! this reminds me of a third party program .. I wish I could remember or find the name. It was posted to a free software forum (which I can't mention unless you PM).
Basically it had 6-10 transitions (that you can set for random if desired) that occurred wwen you woke up the device or put it into standby. IT was fluid, worked well, and looked awesome. IIRC, it even had a "Swoosh" sound when the screen spun around and zoomed down to a dot, then shut off. I got rid of it because the activation wasn't working correctly.
It will certainly look awesome on my phone now, with pointUI and slide2unlock on it. I would buy it today if I could find it ........
If I remember or discover it, I will reply to this.
Of course, RE: your original post, it would certain be amazing to see this feature built-in to WM7. I would like to see the whole entire OS have MUCH more animation, fluid sliding/scrolling movements .. like the iPhone. The hardware is certainly capable of it (as seen in PointUI)!

Its not freeware. It was once offered on handago, but no longer. The developers website is under construction [http://solidorb.marvelz.com/index.html]
I emailed them asking about it, you might want to do the same (email is on their website).
FYI the program costs $10.
I absolutely love that transitions program except that there's no way (at least not that I've heard of) to map that program to work when you hit the power button. Perhaps I will pay for it when someone cracks how to remap the power key.

Hello
Since some of you guys asked about this , well there you go:
if you look inside the keyboard driver with a good disassembler (IDA Pro) you would see that you can create these link files :
Long_PTT.lnk (push to talk button+long press)
Long_End.lnk (the read key+long press)
Long_Send.lnk (the green key+long press)
Short_PTT.lnk (push to talk button)
Long_Power.lnk (Power button +long press)
Short_Power.lnl (Power button)
So basically all you need is to create these link files and put them in to windows folder. You can assign these keys to any shortcut you want
I attached one of my favorite short cuts unzip the file then put it in to your windows folder. then press Send Key for about 2 to 3 second to run the shortcut. It will bring up the wifi networks.
Have fun.

1 and 2 are the same just yhe second one is a cab file for pocket suspend fx and first one is pc exe file and the third and fourth are htc end key if u have the latest htc device then it does have it if u have other device then htc then u can install this htc software to your device and the last one fourth is a hack to map a button to a software !!
and sorry pocket suspend fx is not [email protected] !!! you can find it in other places !!!
i set the short press power button to enable pocket suspend FX but there is no way to wake up the screen with the push of the power button is there anyway to fix that?
hah .. good question. How did you turn your pda back on?!
You would think the Pocket Suspend FX dev's would have figured that part out ....
Looking forward to the answer.
haha i turned it on by connecting it to activesync and then i deleted the shortcut i made until i find a way to turn it on with the power button
seems to work fine when mapped to the short press power button, but when depressing the power button from standby (short press), my device wont wake up unless i hold the power button for longer than usually necessary?
for now, ive assigned power suspend fx to the long press power button unless i can get it to work in a more traditional manner
jd
i used this app a while ago but i hate it that when my screen is off the program is already transitioning back to the normal screen what normaly should only happen when you put the device back on.
is this the same with you guys?
how do you know if your screen is off whats happening on your screen?
jd
Anyone
Did anyone try again something to know how really Suspend FX works ??
Hate to bring this up again after its been dead for a while but any new updates from any of you on getting this to work?
I tried messing around with s2u2 and replacing the exes with the PocketSuspend one since s2u2 starts and stops with the press of the power button... but not luck yet other than it works like it supposed to the first time then just dies or something.
Hi,
Is it possible to have the time and missed calls/messages information when the backlight is off with Xperia? I mean just like it is on usual mobile phones like SE W850i or the others..
Otherwise, it's a bit of a burden to switch on/off the backlight just to check if I have missed calls instead of taking a second of glance to the screen..

I guess the best way would be to set the LED's to flash until noticed.. Then you will know if you have an sms or missed call.

thanks for the advice.
but is there anyone who could kindly answer the question I asked?
Dont think so - from what I understood, when you press upper button then WM61 goes to some kind of sleep mode, leaving only basic functions like mobile and some others running, saving as much power as possible. Including disabled display. If you want to see something on screen, then you have to keep it turned on, which equals increased power consumption.
I haven't got the manual to hand but surely it there is a section on power-saving/backlight settings?!?
Go to settings>system>power>advanced>On Battery Power and untick turn off device is not used for...
Beware that the screen is one of the major battery drains...

thanks. but unfortunately this will not solve the issue..
I was looking for sth. like these actually:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then you are out of luck. The x1 does not do this.
Unless someone knows of/writes an app to do this.
As was said above, the best other option would be to set the 4 corner LEDs to flash indefinately till you notice them.
Or, buy a different phone.
Sadly the industry is not giving out the right info with Winmo "phones".
They are a PDA first, with a phone fitted in as a second thought. Not the other way around. So, they still lack many base features from "simpler" phones.

I'm not sure what you're looking for here -
1) Keeping the screen on but the backlight off, so that you can glance at the screen and see the time/your notifications - per your first post
2) Having a quickview screen with a big clock and your notifications, when your phone is on standby, per the post I have quoted.
3) both
I've already given you an answer for 1). For 2) have you tried using S2U2?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418
it's both I am looking for. but as was put forward before, it looks it is not possible at the moment.
the pdas unfortunately miss some simple phone features; it will take some time to get used to it...
The answer is very easy:
If you have only one display as a PPC has, you need the backlight on to see something.
It is no problem to create the information you want with 3rd party software as WAD2 or PhoneAlarm. But then you have to keep the backlight on and this takes a lot of power.
Easier it is if you only want the screen turning on if a new sms/email/mms/appointment or other thing ist coming. If you use PhoneAlarm for example, you can give the settings to turn on the screen at this alarms. Then the screen turns on, if an alarm arrives (for a new SMS/MMS/EMail or Appointment or whatever) and you can see it. This needs power too.
With this you cannot see the time during 24 h...
What I do is to tell PhoneAlarm to give a sound for a new SMS/Email/MMS but not to turn on the screen. Then I know, when I want to turn the screen on and can see what happend.
And if I want to see the time I just turn on the screen for a short look. At the screenie you see one of the pages with WAD2 and PhoneAlarm in the top, I made for my daily use...

So is the solution not to do both things I suggested?
-now for rhodium...
Action screen assigned to hold powerbutton for 3 seconds. (MUST BE INSTALLED ON PHONE MEMORY)
Smaberg TP2 Powerbutton 12 icons actionscreen v 1.1 - Action screen assigned to hold powerbutton for 3 seconds. This is the full program with softreset and power off option, will install on newer windows mobile 6.1(maybe 6.5).
This is a very useful application, i use it almost all the time.
Thanx vijay555, and thanx AMMAR for the graphics. and dont remember the name for the basic application that i made my work from...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Yeah, thank you very much.
I really missed a working actionscreen on the TP2.
Due to the new Bluetooth driver the one for the Xperia wasn't working anymore.
You made me as happy as with your ROMs back then
sorry, but can you tell me what is it and what does it do?
(sorry for my english)
Have a look at the screenshot. It's an action screen that allows you to select certain actions like new SMS, appointment, task etc.
Works nice! Good to see my BT is working with this version.
Gonna make some changes myself:
- Left softkey to ActionScreen
- No conformation for soft reset
Attached the left softkey for who's interested.
Works fine!
Especially the one-click Wifi switch is very clever.
The only thing is the problem of hitting the powerbutton while typing in landscape mode.
It will launch this app while you're chatting, very annoying.

Hello,
This tips is good if you do not use the TF3D ... otherwise it is replaced by the one from the TF3D ...
Do you know where to modify it in the TF3D ?
Thanks.
Personally I am trying to avoid pushing any buttons, I'd rather have an option on the screen like a shortcut in the Start Menu or something.
Would that be possible?
Hello,
In the start menu, it is a shortcut. Not so difficult. After installing the cab above, you will go to "\Windows" folder and you search for "HTCActionScreen.exe" then you make a copy and after you go to the "Start Menu" folder and "Progams" folder and you make a "Paste shortcut".
And this is done.

I think that's the point, if he's anything like me, everytime I type in landscape mode, I accidentally end up holding the power button for 3 seconds with the side of my finger, I'm forever turning of the phone .
Nice app though, just going to put it on.
For those that don't want to confirm the Soft Reset action:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_10]
"Param"="/s"
Attatched the REG file for those that want to import the file to the registry.
Don't forget to make a soft reset afterwards
This is awesome! I would love to have this app. Is there any way to make the icons a bit more colorful? Thanks so much!
hi! congratulations GREAT app.
is there anyway to change the icon (add + contacts) to one (close screen) without suspend the device. it is very useful to who wants to ear music from the speaker phone. cause when you turn of the device the music stops.
tnx in advance
Excellent! Thanks for thinking about us poor TP2 users!
Very interesting appl.
Does someone test it with touch pro stock rom ?(I have the italian one).
Thanks
Smaberg rocks
Welcome to TP2...I have been an avid follower of yours on Xperia forum...great to see you got a TP2.
Look forward to your inputs in making our TP2 way better than the great device it already is!!!
Hmm after installing i tried the application but it doet not work properly.
When i push the I/O button of my TP2 the screen becomes totally black... but when i touch a button (that i dont see) the rolloverbutton appears in green.
What can i do to make it work normally?
