Does anyone know the file that shuts down the today screen? I want to add it to Resco Explorer so I can shut the screen down when I'm done. The pwr button on the right side closes down or shuts the screen down and that's what I'm looking to do and without adding another application to the startup menu...TJ

You mean to put Athe into sleep mode, cause this is what the button does?
Many ups have this feature, but it is usualy a feature of some bigger up. First to look for would be pBar, then wkTask, then SPB Plus and some more. There are also options to swith off the screen without putting the device into sleep mode. But I never heard of a file which would do only that. It would be a waste of space.
Thanks fore the reply. I'm trying to do this without putting another program on. I had wisbar lite which did this but most programs are memory hogs and slow the phone down some. What I'm looking for is the command the sleep button gives to the phone to make it sleep. Thanks again...TJ

Yes, I know what you mean, but you need a good task manager anyway, so it is better to have one with some other functions, but still light for the OS, then not to have one. Forget about HTC task manager. This is rubbish. Get yourself pBar or/and wkTask and then you see what I mean. Both of them have this function on board. pBar is very light for the system, so light that I use wkTask as well, cause I like them both.
OK thanks I will try them. I appreciate your help. I am going to flash a new Radio/ROM as soon as I can learn how to without bricking the phone...TJ
I just installed pBar and I like it, thank you again.

I recently got my HD and need to figure out which auto-rotator is better. Also would like some instructions on how to install. THANK YOU!!!
Hi,
I use Flip it by Wild Berry team, its much simpler to use and configure than the two you mentioned.
http://rapidshare.com/files/172926970/Flip_IT_by_WildBerry_Team.cab
Simply copy the cab to your phone and run the cab. Cant for the life of me remember if it needs a soft reset but if its not working then do one.

I did use gyrater but stopped and now use AEButton Plus. I don't now use an automatic rotate app.
AEB+ has a screen rotate function. I have assigned this function to a double press on the OK button.
This allows me to rotate quickly when I want and not automatically. This is my preference since I don't always want the screen rotated.
Find it here: http://ae.inc.ru
I also use it to map the volume up/down to actual up/down and double press for volume control and long press up gives a flash lamp (plamp) and long press down gives auto record on Resco recorder.
AEB+ is shareware but has virtually all the functions available in the unregistered state.
Worked through of few rotational apps but now staying with ChangeScreen. Very easy to use and exclude programmmes (just type in the name). Am finding my list of exclusions keeps growing and wondered whether it is mainly a gimmick.
I think this is because, unless the app is full screen, in widescreen you end up with a long header and footer plate and a lot less screen doing the real business.
Anyway try ChangeScreen .

Hello nogs,
I did 2 times an reboot, but still it don't works.
Do you have any idea.
btw i have a HTC HD
Personally I'd recommend either Changescreen or FlipIt. Both easy to set up and both work a charm!!
anybody got a clue how to totally remove flip it? ive tried with touch flo on and off and just normally remove and removing through activ sync but it still remains in the list of programs and also when i go to start/settings/menus its in there and the box is checked and when i try to uncheck the box it says "cannot move that item",only other way i can think to get rid of it totally is to reflash the rom ag ain which seems a bit extreme to remove an app.

Some roms have apps embedded into them so you cannot remove them unfortunately

im using duttys 3.9 xt and flip it was installed by me seperately
@MaskedMarauder yeah suppose thats the best option although it will probably nip my head and i will reflash anyway
I have a Kaiser, and there's nothing more irritating than accidentally bumping a button while having the phone in your pocket, then having random things in your pocket scroll through your address book until it calls someone. Or opens up IE and finds a high-bandwidth website. When you don't have a data plan.
Things like this hurt. I've been trying to find a solution to it, and I happened to stumble upon an olllllld application on another forum. It's called AutoLock. I found it Here.
Anyways, long story short, it uses the built-in Windows Mobile screen lock and turns it on whenever the phone's screen turns on. So hitting the power button is enough to lock your phone. It's super convenient, and for the most part, it's not too buggy.
I've been using this for probably over a month now. It's a lifesaver. I had the .exe on my SD card, and every time I reflashed, I had to make a new shortcut and place it into the startup folder. So tonight, I made a CAB file out of it.
I hope you guys get as much use out of it as I do.
A quick note: It runs in the background. Terminating it will not allow it to function. The CAB will add a shortcut to the startup folder, so a soft reset will start it. Otherwise you can start it from the shortcut in the Programs folder.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is there a way to disable the program window that pops up after a soft-reset?
A: There is no way to disable the message screen on startup. Just hit the X in the top right corner, and it should minimize out of sight.
Q: When receiving a call, does the answer button and screen stay locked?
A: The answer button and the screen both unlock when the phone is ringing. If the call is answered/ignored/stops ringing, the screen will be re-locked.
Q: Will it work with my phone?
A: This program has been confirmed to work on a few models. I believe that it should work on pretty much any touchscreen device running Windows Mobile. Please, try it and tell me if it works!
Tested Phones:
Kaiser (ATT Tilt)
Touch Pro (Fuze)
Xperia

this is a very usefull program.is there anyway to disable message screen when program start after softreset?thanks a lot in advance
It's unfortunate that I didn't create this program. I only found it through about six months of searching on the internet. Maybe a friendly XDA-Developer could write a similar program and keep it updated with new features!
As far as I know, there's no way to disable the message screen on startup. Just hit the X in the top right corner, and it should minimize out of sight.
As for if it works on a Diamond... go try it and tell me how it works!
Awesome program! Thanks
Looks interesting. Thx for sharing!

So what happens when a call comes? Does it lock the answer button too? And the screen?
kull said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since it's the inbuilt Windows Mobile locking setup, when a call comes in, the phone is still locked, but the answer skin floats above the lock. So the screen "unlocks" so you can answer or reject the call, but it locks as soon as you answer or ignore it again.
I've discovered, using my Jade, that you can do the same thing by just setting the built-in Windows Mobile device lock to 0 minutes... You'd need to provide a password, though...
First press of the power button puts the phone to sleep... Press it again, it will ask for your password to unlock...
I have tried to make this myself but im not the best at c# I was hoping someone would like to write a small app that disables and enables the touch panel without using the gsensor or light sensor or nav sensor. i want to use this with a mort script so it would launch the app to disable touch panel then run the rest of the script then launch the app to enable it. i don't care if its two separate apps. if someone can help i would appreciate it so much. thanks
This isn't an actual shortcut, its a bit better than that if you ask me.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-sensorlock.html
Basically you just spin the phone in your hands and it will lock, watch the video, it shows what to do
I've also found an application called sleep, I used that for a while but now I'm on WinMo 6.5 and I just use the lock button instead. Just do a quick google for a program called sleep, shouldn't be too hard to find.
And also there is an inbuilt lock thingie where you can set your phone to lock the screen if you hold down the end call button for like 5 seconds but that one is a bit of a pain cause you gotta hold it for ages before it locks and then when you try to unlock it is hard especially if youre outside with the sun shining.

question about SIP default
i know this may not be the most appropriate thread to put this question on, my apologies. From the title I thought it may be. Anyhow, I installed phm registry editor and am trying to learn to use it, but not sure how to find something im wanting to change. My SIP default seems to be that anytime i open my sms inbox, or email, etc, my keyboard pops up without me selecting it to do so. I want to change it so it only pops up when I select the little tab/icon to MAKE it pop up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks in advance.
UPDATE
Now working but........
...You need to have ChangeScreen installed for this little app to work. I have included the cab at the end of the post.
I have updated the cab below.
The screen now turns off when the phone is face down and turns back on as you turn it over.
When the phone is face up normal operation is restored.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Previous Release Notes
I put together this little APP after a post by Maverick777.
Install to your device and when you place the phone facedown the backlight will turn off.
When you flip the phone over the backlight will turn back on.
Hopefully, a few people will find this useful.
Thanks for this

I have updated the cab. I suspect it doesn't work because I did not realise you need to have ChangeScreen installed to make my little app work. I am a ROM Flash Junkie and after flashing a new ROM I tried hAndyFlip and it did not work. I had not put ChangeScreen in my auto setup and once installed it worked.
hAndyFlip reads the registry keys to establish the rotation of the device and at present the keys that dynamically change are created by ChangeScreen.
To be honest ChangeScreen is one of the cab's I install after every flash. I would give it a try whether of not you find hAndyFlip useful.
Thank you for this program. But I have a problem.

This doesn´t work. When I flip the phone, the display remains black.
The other way around (phone is face down) it´s o.k.
Is there something to set up? By the way, i didn´t find an icon of handyflip.

Have you installed ChangeScreen ?
I have it on my device and it works - in fact I now install it after each Flash.
The ICON is in \windows\startup
Would you prefer it in programs ? and maybe the option to toggle on/off ?
I deleted the shortcut in the autostart folder and made a shortcut by hand. I don't know why but now the program works as it should.

I think it's ok how it is because you can "deactivate" it when you push the power button to turn the display off by hand.

Just realised that I made an error in the cab. The shortcut it creates is wrong ! That was the problem.

Thank you, Andy!
Could it be that the application drains the battery? The battery has drained very fast although I haven´t used the phone (Touch HD) as much.
Has someone else noticed higher battery consumption?
Or maybe ChangeScreen is the culprit?

Max, I've a feeling it maybe changescreen.
I'll do a bit of testing and come back to you.
I observed that that the cpu-usage of handyflip is very high (about 17-20%). So I deactivated it and now the battery consumption is normal (although changescreen is enabled).

Dahoarty,
Thanks for this very useful application. It works fine on my HD.
Looking forward for ur next version
This looks like a really useful app. Noticed though that the startup link is still broken and also high CPU usage as per previous posts. One request, when I turn face up and screen comes back on it doesn't just switch the screen on but it also takes me back to the home screen. Can it be adjusted so when I turn face up the screen light comes on only and it will still be in the program I was using (say music player etc).
Cheers
Barney

Hi Barney,
I am working on a new version and I will try to include your request. Please bear with me.

waiting for update.
have there been any update? I really like the idea of the program, but it doesn workin on my tillt2
got it working.but
so I changed the path in the lnk file and got it working.. but it works a bit too well... it never allows the phone to go to sleep.. If I suspend the device and leave it perfectly still, it will stay suspended . if I move it at all, it wakes us.
I wonder if there is a way to only have the script fire if your phone is face down .. and then once it is face up, it doesnt run again till it is face down again..
I figure that is why the battery drains so much
thanks!
Nice little app - useful when you're listening to music. Thanks, I have been looking for something like this.
does anyone know how to set the phone keypad as default as opposed to keep reverting back to qwerty keypad everytime? also does minimizing programs still use a lot of battery? if so is these a application so when you press the x button its exits the program rather than minimize?
anyone? thanks

On my phone, if I chose keypad, it stays that way until i change it back.
Minimized apps drains battery and may slow down your phone (it takes a lot to slow HD2 down.. but anyway)
You can install an Taskmanager from this forum, for instance this one:
e-Natives Showcase 1.1.0 - Finger Friendly Task Switcher ---- Official Thread
my key pad keeps reverting back to qwerty still. any ideals?
Minimized apps can drain battery, but most don't. Most applications need user interaction before they do anything. Excel, for example, just sits there and does absolutely nothing if you don't use it. That won't use battery. Anything that does things in the background, like polling system states (screen on, rotation, waiting for screen gestures etc..), they will use the battery. It basically depends what application it is, but most do not.
Install the task manager from this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415
When you open it on the home page you can go into settings and choose between apps minimizing or closing when you press the X.
