Hey guys, i noticed that when the screen turns off or goes into stand by and you recieve an SMS/MMS message, the alert sound still comes on, but the screen stays off. Is there a way to change this? It's sort of annoying having to press the top button just to see if a text message comes in. Can it be tweaked in the registry? If so, what would one have to do to change it? I have a registry editor installed on my phone so if anyone has any ideas......go ahead

Any ideas any1?
Thanks in Advance...

Use the power on\off button on top instead of pressing the the Dial button.. it was annoying for me too but the power button does it for me and it's better than to keep the screen on during the whole call since all my calls are above five mins
bump...someone has to have some idea what can be done to fix this
If you install HDTweak ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505 ), you can disable the screen switching off during a call and/or make the device wake up when a new SMS is received. It works for me.
Installing HD tweak and then going to 2.2 will solve your problem.
try the hd tweak or the diamond config both have twaeks to activate the screen when you receive the sms. but be sure to lock the phone for when you have it in your pocket.
NICE!!!! thanks guys for the info, i will try this ASAP when i get home
GAWD I LOVE THIS FORUM

Hi there, I disabled 1.1 and it still does not seem to work for me
However, Enabled 2.1 and that works.
Please help ...
In HDtweak, I have 1.1 disabled, 1.2 Disallow, 1.3 Disabled
The screen doesn't go off during a call. I can always press the power button to turn off/on the screen manually if i want to save battery during a long call (or not attract attention when calling on a dark street!)

I did the above and it worked...I missed those parts of the instructions
Thanks!
My practice is to turn off my HD after use (I use 3rd party app to turn off the machine instead of pressing the power button), and put it back to the pocket. Recently, I found that my HD have do something when it is off, such as,
- make a phone call
- Go the the TF3D Photo tab and viewing a photo
- Showing the Power setting page (I set it to the LSK)
I'm 100% sure that the machine is off, so I wonder if my machine got a problem?
are you REALLY 100% sure it is OFF and not only in standby (aka screen off)? there is a old version of a 3rd party app that when you tap the poweroff icon goes standby and NOT poweroff. you should disable the 3rd party app and shut down your device using the default power button.
instead if you like having it only in standby you should keep in mind that standby does NOT by any means autolocks the screen. I'll try to explain:
you put the machine in standby and put it back in the pocket. you receive, dunno, a ring or a sms or something else. automatically the screen turns itself on, activating the touchscreen, and then all hell breaks loose
there are some solutions to this: a long press of the end key enables the default lock feature of the device. then you can turn off the screen safely (or almost safely)
also you might want to install s2u2 and set it to autolock on screen off. you turn off the screen (either with your app or the power button) and when resuming you have a neat "slide to unlock" screen (iphone-like). This is the solution i suggest more.
I am quite sure i talked too much but i hope i've been useful anyway
I'm running into a usability issue with PocketShield on the Touch HD.
I use Pocket Player for audio book listening quite a bit. Pocket Player has an option to turn off the display after 60 seconds to conserve battery power, while still playing the audio. After I installed PocketShield, it was initially turning off my device every time Pocket Player turned off the screen. (So the audio was stopping too.) I then added Pocket Player to the "application permissions" in PocketShield, so that the device is not locked while Pocket Player is loaded. That prevented the turn-off problem.
But, now, PocketShield is effectively preventing Pocket Player from turning off the screen. Any time Pocket Player times out after 60 seconds and turns off the screen, the screen goes off for only a split second, only to come right back on again. (I know that this is like a power cycle for the device, because if I leave a menu in Pocket Player open--like I sometimes do with the seek menu, to be able to rewind quickly, if I have to, while listening--the menu is closed when the screen comes on again.) Of course, this now means that, as long as PocketShield is on, the screen is always on while using Pocket Player, which multiplies battery usage by a factor of five or more, naturally.
The only workaround that I can think of is to turn PocketShield off (or "disable" it) any time I'll use Pocket Player, and turn it back on after I'm done. This is hardly convenient, and it leaves the door open for forgetting to turn PocketShield back on and ending up with pocket dialing again and all sorts of unintended button use while in my pocket, which completely defeats the purpose of using PocketShield. I look through the settings in PocketShield and I can't see any that would hold any hope in helping me with this problem.,
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know of a workaround? I doubt that Pocket Player would be the only media player with which this would happen.
For anyone interested in the details, my current PocketShield settings are as follows:
LOCKING OPTIONS:
Power off when lock: Disabled
If wakes up, power off in 20 secs: Disabled
Disable hardware keys: Enabled
When phone starts ringing: Keep keys disabled
Do not lock on external power: Enabled
UNLOCKING OPTIONS:
With light: Enabled
With finger slide: Enabled
With movement gestures: Disabled
Round center button: Disabled
On stylus out: Enabled
Produce vibration feedback: Disabled
Application permissions: Pocket Player
Hello,
Its something on how PocketPlayer internally performs the screen off operation, I think it’s a very particular (maybe not standard?) way to do it.
Some other applications that also perform “screen off” do not cause this effect on PocketShield, they all work “in peace” (you can confirm this by using for example HTorch or xdaShutdown or even the native “screen off” during call the HTC Phone has.
The only workaround I can suggest is to disable the “60 secs” timer on PocketPlayer and rely on the “20 secs power off” of PocketShield together with the Application Permissions you already have set. This way, if your device turns on by any event, PS will do screen off after 20 seconds if no unlock is done. And if you want to manually screen off just press the power button. None of the mentioned will stop the player.

Hi,
I had a problem with my Jade where the LCD screen blackout while making a call out, and i need to turn the screen on again pressing the power button.
Can anyone advise me?
Thank you in advance for your advise.
Vincent
No problem, is a normal function
Yup, that's normal behavior. There is a sensor which senses when you have the phone touching your face. It then turns the screen off. You wouldn't want it to activate all kinds of options while rubbing your face.
Thanks a lot! but Garmin problem now..
Hi ralfbonne, Arunia,
Thanks alot for your advise.
I have another problem which is the Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.10W.
Is a cracked version, after i installed S2U2 v1.60, the below error message pops up while half way using the Garmin GPS:
"Read access violation at data address 0xF9C3D650. Program address 0x0016FAF4 in background thread NULL (GfxFieldWindowProc)".
Is this caused by the settings for S2U2?
Besides, sometimes it took too long time to get the satellites signals, can be up to 20mins long!
Could you please kindly advise me too?
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day.
Vincent
How to keep screen on in call (no blackout): solution
All registry hacks & Advanced Config tricks for keeping the screen on while a call is in progress do not apply to the Jade/3G.
However, there is a solution to overcome this annoying feature:
install Touch InCall Screen Tweak, and set the options "Ignore first screen off" and "Always On" in the options.
Why keep the screen on during call? Your face will just start activating things at random. If you really need it on (maybe using earpiece) you can always press the power button.
It's annoying
I have never accidently pressed anything on the screen while calling.
However, having to press the power button to bring the screen back while calling voicemail has annoyed me many times.
I also believe it is annoying that the screen blacks out. Even when I have the phone facing down and not to my ear, the screen blacks
I need to get it on, so I could use speakerphone. I'm one of those that love using speakerphone, so yea
I will try the InCall cab file.
First of all, I was using PM Recorder and now I use Audio Notes Touch from VITO, to record all my phone calls. It is very useful to have the phone call recorded when somebody gives you an address, a phone number, or a name of a person, you don’t need a pen to write it down.
Now the problem: After the other person answers or you answer and the application starts recording, the backlight of the screen turns on to maximum level of intensity and it stays like this until you finish your phone call. It does not reduce the light level of intensity after a minute or so. When not using the application to record, the light is reduced to minimum level and it stays like this until I hang up. I have found a workaround to press the power button to turn off the whole screen and the light when I am in a call, but sometimes I forget and a lot of battery power is consumed during the call. I have also tried to set the backlight level both on battery and on power to minimum level, but still the recorder application is able to turn the light at maximum level, I don’t know how.
If you want to do a test, set the backlight level on battery and on power to the lowest level, and then start the Voice Commander. You will be surprised, because you will see the backlight to maximum level.
Now the question is: How can we turn the backlight off completely and automatically when in a call? I think the battery consumption is double or maybe triple when in a call and with the backlight turned on to maximum level.
Maybe using S2U2 will help you. Also look at this thread.
I have installed the application.
With the black screen option the screen is black, indeed, but the backlight is still on at maximum power.
How is it possible to put the device into standby when talking instead of black screen? Something similar when I press the power button one.
Thank you.
there is a design flaw that prevent the backlight from turning off when blanking screen..the only solution is to use the backlight controller to turn off the screen.
I am not aware of any ways to put the phone in standby when talking.
If you are using custom rom you can use built-in in-call recording if it is good enough for you
Hello keyx. I tried all the custom roms including yours, I really appreciate your work, but for me the original rom fits the best.
Audio Notes Touch and even S2U2 somehow have a method or triggers a function to detect when a conversation is started.
Is there a possibility to add a script via Mort Script, maybe, to launch the backlight controller when I am on the phone?
I have no idea you would have to try to code that yourself..
Does anybody have an idea how can I trigger a started conversation?
What function or procedure can I call to find this?
Thanks.
Finally I succeded. If anyone interested I will post my solution. Thanks for your answers.

post ahead!
I have created a script with MortScript.
While(1)
If(ProcExists("Audio Notes Touch.exe")=1)
Run("\iPAQ File Store\Program Files\Backlight Controller\WM6_612C_Backlight.lnk")
EndIf
Sleep(10000)
EndWhile

WM6_612C_Backlight.lnk it is a shortcut with the /togglescreen parameter.
I have made a copy for Audio Notes Touch.exe and renamed it to Audio.exe and modified the Start Menu shortcut to point to the Audio.exe. This way I can listen to my recorded phonecalls afterwards.
