Hi every one.
So i set "button lock" and also disable mainly all notifications but every time a new sms arrives,the screen goes on.I will like to keep the screen off because if you carry your magician in your pocket and after that sms arrives,you can accidentaly press any button or even touch the screen.
I been checking every thing i could check but i can´t find the answer about this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Third party software Pocket Zen Phone or phoneAlarm.
Ok i´ll check it and see what i can do.
Cheers mate.

There are many occasions the Magician turns on its screen. Rather than trying to find and disable all these, I copied TPDisable.exe and TPEnable.exe from the original Extended ROM into my Program Files folder, and then assigned them to a hardware key (using Hotbutton, so that I can use the same key for both).
As the name implies, TPDisable disables the touchscreen (not the display!), and TPEnable re-enables it. So, before I put my Magician into my pocket, I now disable the touchscreen (one press of a button). That still leaves the keys active, true, but I found that normally the touchscreen is much more likely to be the culprit when strange things happen on your Magician while it's in the pocket, and turned itself on.

@ tadzio
Well,that is a very interesting solution,but i can´t find TPDisable.exe
or TPEnable.exe inside my magician.I need a bit more info from you
Daniel.
Thanks a lot for your replies.
What happens if you hold down power button for 2 seconds to switch off backlight? Does the light still illuminate on receipt of sms?
@ cruisin-thru
I can´t see the point of your question,mainly because the thing i am looking for is to "switch off" my Qtek like a normal mobile phone,i mince buttons locks and screen off when a new sms or incoming call arrives and when you push power button for example,then screen go on and also release the lock of the buttons.
Any one can say that then i can use deltalock.I did it but the battery live is going down very quick.
Screenlock is not working properly also,i will say that Deltalock is 95% a lot better than Screenlock.
And finally,why microsoft is developing this OS without fully screen off selectable option???. Who knows!!!
Cheers

Both programs are in the Extended ROM. Most users have made this visible (though not writable) by performing a Hard Reset, and immediately after completing the initial screen adjustment and mini-tutorial and before the device starts installing programs, a Soft Reset.
If you do not want to do a Hard Reset, search this site's FTP server for Magician Extended ROM downloads. There were a few there last time I looked.
Cheers

Well,after config hotbutton to TPDisable and TPEnable i can´t enable the screen and hardware buttons.
TPDisable is disablind the screen but also all the hardware buttons ( with and without button lock at settins),even the power button.
I use same hardware button for TPDisable and TPEnable ,is that correct or i am doing silly things?
If I arrive an sms the screen is switching on and after a few seconds switching off again if I don't press any key or tap the screen!
It's a changeable registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / System / CurrentControlSet / Control / Power /
WakeupPowerOff =12 (the default is 180)
DisableGwesPowerOff=0 (the default is 1)
If you switch on the Jam (power button) need to press some other key too, because it switches off after 12 seconds!!!

@avers
Well that is another solution but i insist that there should be an easiest way to keep the screen fully off when a new sms or what ever arrives,including hardware buttons off ofcourse.
Any suggestion more?, perhaps at the end and betwen all of us ,we can find the solution.
Cheers.
I think the best solution is third party software like PHONEALARM,
it's easiest way to get main tweaks of Pocket Windows.
get it there
http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
Well my friends,pocketzenphone is not doing what i am looking for.
Next step is to try phonealarm,but probably will work the same way as pocketzenphone,leting the screen to go on every time a new sms arrives.
Sorry for my languaje but F... microsoft and F... devil gates.
As you can read on this post ,phonealarm IS NOT doing it.
http://www.pocketmax.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=429
phonealarm has option named "Don't activate backlight on alarm"
ALARM there means any event, that needs notification.
now i am understanding, that it is some differ that you need.
also i advice you make some registry tweaks to make a very short backlite time when sms arrives.:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\WakeupPowerOff = 10
this timeout in seconds. is used when our device self power on, when SMS arrives or we push the POWER button and do nothing anymore
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\DisableGwesPowerOff = 0
this key is enables this power control system (necessarily change it, or first key will not work)
after the editing registry you need to reboot PDA.

Thank you for your reply i will try like you and others point out and also will keep looking for that utopic soft.
deltaLock locks the screen and buttons even if you get sms or calls. I use it on my JAM and it works so far.

If you read one of my post ,you will see that i allready said that Deltalock is working but it is KILLING the battery live very fast and when i say VERY FAST it mince that you will get almost 6hours against the normal live (more than 15hours).
Cheers mate.
I think if you keep your ppc on all the time you will get this battery life. Anyway I think deltaLock is for keeping your PPC on and having screen and button lock, not having it in suspend mode and not allowing the screen to power up. Sorry about that, seem to have misunderstood your post.
Don´t worry mate, at the end we are all together trying to find a solution to this microsoft silly programing, any comment and any new idea is wellcome.
Cheers.
Hi all,
when you got the screen folded over and facing out, any way of locking the screen?
thanks
ross
I was also woundering about that...
when you have the screen in phone mode, there must be some way of locking the screen!
well if nobody here knows, o2 won't know!
Not sure if this answers your question but mine is set up thus:
In 'Settings/Buttons/Lock' set 'When device is off' to 'Lock all buttons except Power Button'
I keep the screen outwards and use the power button to lock/unlock.
One snag is that the phone seems to unlock itself when receiving an incoming call. I therefore can accidently cancel it trying to get the damn thing out of my pocket.
I do believe it locks the screen during installation of the ext rom..
This is done by running tpdisable.exe from the windows directory..
A word of warning though: IT'S DISABLED!
Unless you bind tpenable.exe to a button FIRST, you're screwed..
(Ok, a soft reset should fix it..)
I think they are called tpenable and tpdisable...
I don't have the device yet, so I can't check right now.
When I was looking at the config file, there was no mention of an exe, it was like a command (unlock your ext rom and take a look at it).
I got the impression this function was now embedded in the OS hence no exe. Probably wring of course....
Then it should be possible to make such a program, and assign it to a button..

Any one work out what the key combination is to diactivate it on the Universal?
TIA
I guess it would be the equivalent keys of leftmost and rightmost keys on HTC Blue Angel ('Windows' and 'Ok' keys!?)
However you guys, should try MortSaver (freeware also)

At least you can set several parameter according your preferences.

Hi
I want to phone to keypad lock itself automatically as a normal mobile do. There must be a setting for this? As for now I have the lock thing in my today screen and have to press it. I often miss and hit something else and the phone calls people all afternoon while in my pocket. Somewhat anoying.

Would be nice to have a device lock that didnt take up so much space on the today screen.

Then look for the DeviceLock CAB file and assign it to a hardware button so you can remove it from the Today Screen (just like I did last week ).
Did a search for that cab file, but didnt find it. Where is it supposed to be?
/d
i used vjkeypress with the link -133 which will lock the device and assined it to my comm butten because i don´t use it that often and have it in my tray also
I cant seem to install the devicelock.cab on my Blue Angel ... is it because it wont run on WM2003 or some other reason maybe.
Does anybody know about another program for key locking the BA?
Cheers

Hi, here its another doubt...
When i call to the cell phone company to know my credit, the IVR machine answer the call. So, it says: If you need xxx press 1, if you need xxxx press 2, etc etc
The problem its that i cant do nothing during the call!! I press "keypad", "end call", "contacts" etc etc and nothing happends.
The only way to end the call its pressing the no-touchable buttom wich have a "little house"
I really want to know my credit, use the keypad to view contacts or to press 1, 2, 3 etc if i need it!!!!
Someone help me please!!!
Thank a lot!!
Maybe you could map the keypad to a button. On a side note: what ROM are you running?
Hi cmstackar!! thanks for your answer!! im running the original ROM (WM 6.1 in english)
ROM: 1.39.405.2 (47382) WWE
Radio Version: 3.43.25.19
Any idea?
Thanks again!

Keypad option has always been available in call for me in both 6.1 and 6.5 WWE ROMs

I dont know what more can i do... Is it posible that the ROM came corrupted or somthing similar?
I m wondering what happends if i upgrade to WM 6.5...
But the cell its new, so, i dont wanna make any changes
Just a thought, does your dialer have a "curtain" that you swipe down to access the keypad button?
Hi Bruce Inman! you help me with another problem!! i hope you can help me in this too!!
Yes, there is a "curtain" but in the screen appears "slide down for more options" (like hold, add call, note, etc) and down this frase appears "keypad" (in the left) and "end call" (in the right)
Recently i turn off the phone for a wile and i CAN use the keypad (i entered to the menu of an IVR machine without any promblem) and slide down the "curtain". I end the call touching the scree in the "end the call". All was OK!!
When i end the call, the phone do not work good for 5 seconds (that happends allwas, i dont know way... after end a call, the phone do not work properly) When the phone came back to normality i try to make another phone call to use the keypad and i returned to the begining!!! I can do nothing touching the screen... no kaypad, no curtain, no end call, NOTHING!!
I hope someone knows the problem to give me a solution!!
Sorry about my english!!! i m loughting wile im writing because everyword i think: "this is no the correct word tu put right here" jajajaj. Please, try to understand me, im doing my best!!

Love Google translator!
Sounds like an issue with your dialer.
A hard reset or flashing another ROM (assuming you understand how) will fix your problem.
Bruce Inman, i did 2 resets but i dont know if were a hard or soft reset. One was pressing the red buttom and the other was in "start>settings>all settings>System>clear the storage
I know that pressing the red buttom its a "soft reset" but i dont know if the other was a hard reset.
However, today im going to call the seller. If I cant change the phone for a new one, I will try to change ROM
So, the hard reset was OK? First i wanna try that!!
I hope it is resolved soon! thank you all
Hey, one question... i think that the problme is the application "phonecanvas". Can i reinstall? where can i find this program form the Diamond 2?

Yes, the red button is a soft reset, clear storage is one way to hard reset, you can also power the device off, turn back on with power button and immediately hold both volume keys until you get the white screen, then follow the instructions.
I just finished updating the ROM (to original one), specifically this: http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=555

Go to Settings\Personal\Phone and make sure Keypad is set to long tones, see if that helps. Also try short tones if not.
Recently i tired but didnt work!! im going creazy!!!
Which application or software manage the interfaz during the communications? I think that the process or application that manage the communications its the problem!!
Anybody knows another choice?

Does anybody know if it's possible to turn off the phonelight with the button to the right?
You usually use the on-button on the top of the phone but I think it would've been easier to use the button you hang up a conversation with. (just as you are with HTC HD2).
Hoping on a .cab or a positive answer

Yes, that is the TD2 Tool to install.
Then install the enclosed Kbd controll program. Its pretty intuitive, just keep short press as default and set your long or double press to Boot manager.
or..... you can use SSMaHo to map a shortcut from manila home screen.
As far as instructions, you'll have to read as it is too hard to explain in brief.
One thing you will find is that the left soft key is locked for editing in most ROMs.
You can also set it to a softkey in the registry in HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila;
LSK, RSK (left and right soft key path and text)
