Hi!
- Does the Universal turn on automatically when the display flip is opened or does the user have to press the Power button first?
- What exactly does the Backlight button do?
I need to know this because I'm investigating a possible wiring damage ...
Thanks!

Depends...
The Universal knows two different states. When you close the display while the device is on, and then open the diplay again the screen will come on.
If however you first press the power button to send the device into standby, and then close and open the display, the screen will not come on, the device will remain in standby.
The backlight button is useless, use the hack to re-assign it to a function of your choice.
Thanks!
That helped a lot!! 8)

I've just scoured through 15 pages on this forum and had no luck on the search.
I would just like to know if the only way to get the screen on whilst in a call is by pressing the power button?
I just find it a bit awkward to get to. Was hoping a simple screen tap would suffice but apparently this doesn't do the trick.
Any ideas?
cheers for any help
Did you try taking out the stylus? This should also turn on the device...
Regards!
Thanks I'll try that
Though i'm not sure that's easier than pressing the power button when in a call
You can also touch the "Home" key on the face of the device and the screen will come on.
Ahhh, was sure I tried that but that seems to do the trick nicely.
Thanks for help guys
Hi All, I have owned a lot of HTC phones and now I have the HD, its the first time I see HTC phone with such small, thin, and hard to press power button !!
especially in the dark, I cant press it and wake up my phone easily !!
I MANAGED TO TWEAK MY HD and now I wake up my device pressing the volume button, but again I have new problem : sometimes when I carry my phone the volume get pressed by mistake and the ringer get muted or low and I miss some calls !!!
Any solution for this problem so I can wake up my phone from the standby without pressing the microscopic power button !!
Take out the stylus and insert it back again. That wakes up the device. Otherwise you might want to search for a G-sensor enabled "wake-up" application. "Shake_it_to_wake" so to speak...

How can you use it to wake up the device? I don't see that option in the description, except the default stylus in and out...
...
I guess S2U won´t help you with waking up your device but if you use volume buttons it will protect you from accidental muting your phone.
I found power hard to press, too, but then I looked closely: This power 'button' is indeed non-symmetrical - at least on *my* device: it stands up a bit on one side, the left side, which is closer to the middle of the HD. So I press it *there*, because obviously enough that's the place where the sensor is located. It works easy every time.

Can you tell me how?
Ducasito. Good observation. I wondered why sometime it was easy and sometimes hard. So the slight non-symmetrical button is not a manufacturing fault but a very subtle design feature. Now I know which side to hit. Thanks
Seems all HD's are different OR I have a very heavy finger.
All I need to do to get it to wake it lightly touch the power button and it comes on.

I suppose it is just a matter of "where" you push the button. Just push it on the left edge (where the small led is placed) and you will not need that much pressure to switch the device on or off. The button sensor is actually under that left edge. the picture shows the powerbutton part (picture taken from the HTC Touch HD service manual). Under the left edge of it is the sensor, so putting the pressure there is the best way of pressing the button

You can use AE button plus. I use this to convert my volum buttons to up and down buttons on single click, select/ok on double click, and volume on hold and press.
Thanks for your answer but I´ve a further question:
Do you "wake up" (from standby) the blackstone by using this AE button? I tried to use this software but I couldn`t wake up the Touch HD from standby by using the volume buttons.
Hello guys.. im searching for some litle app that is able to map the Stylus
for example: When the Stylus is IN the Screen to be OFF backlight in a sleep mode.
When the Stylus is Out the Screen to be ON.. wake up automaticly.
I found this that is avalible in Mobile Magic Button Maper etc.. but there have so many extras with i will not use them and i hear that this app drain the batery fast.
So i need and i think many of you need just one very light simple app for the Stylus... this will not drain out Battery and also we will not need anymore to press the Power Button when we want our phone to go on Sleep and Wake Up
For example if you Map some key for the screen OFF thats work without problem but when the screen is OFF in HTC Touch HD you can`t turn it on with any from the KEYS because they just don`t work in sleep mode.. so you can turn it ON only by presing the Power Buton witch is not good because from so many use of that Litle Button often the peoples have problem with this button and he often Crash.
If someone is able to do this Stylus APP will be Awsome.
i want this as well since my power button is broken....
will wait...thanks
It's part of multi functions in Gyrator.

Hello dude i gound Desigion of the Problem.
Here is full with APPS like this but i was searching for something very Light that don`t dry battery and work fast... i know that in Gyrator and MobileMagic you can do this option but they have alot more stufs to costumize and i need only the Stylus so what you can do is very simple.
Install "Turn Off The Light" this is a CAB and you can install it directly on device memory after you install it just go to Settings, Personal and Buttons
So you can asign a Key i asign my my 1st Hardware Button when i press and long hold to TURN OF THE LIGHT
and thats it...
Also my Stylus when is Out by default my phone Wake UP..
So i don`t need any more applications and etc when i want my phone to sleep just long pressing the hardwere call buton when i want to wake up just pul out the Stylus and there is no need to use the Power Button Anymore.
thanks for the response...anyway by removing the stylus...it seems that it eats up 1-2% of the battery usage...
any alternative solution to turn on from off...
thanks in advance
S2U2 can wake up / unlock the screen when pulling it out and lock it when you put it in.

Did you try StylusLock?
hi, i was reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020003 and i thought it would be great if i can use the volume buttons or lock button to answer my phone calls instead of "drag to answer".
i thought of using tasker but unfortnately it cannot control hardward or physical buttons...
anyone know how this can be done?
sidenote: wrt http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629813, can we have the answer and decline button instead of dragging?
