[Q]How to turn off backlight! - Touch GSM General

Hi need help... i am using WM6.5 Onyx rel 5.2 and i need a way by which i can turn off the backlight when a call gets connected. Currently the phone vibrates when the call gets connected.
I also wrote a mortscript for turning the backlight off but i think we can implement it in some other way. pls guide...

there is an option in S2U2 that lets u do it, and u can deactivate all the other things so it wont interfere with ur normal usage (like locking itself, etc.)

Thanks crapula, i already scripted a mortscript to do this but i wanted some other way(inbuilt)... maybe like modifying the phone canvas so that it can turn off the screen like it is vibrating when the call gets connected... just in a similar way.

My screen wont stay turned on!!!

Hi All...
I would like to set any program (each one i want...) not to switch off following the normal settings of my pocket pc...
Example:
When you start Tom Tom, your screen remains turned on, even if you set 1,2,3... minutes after then your screen must normally switch off...
So, i'd like a solution to set any program like TomTom and make my screen stay turned on untill i close that program.
Please can anybody help me???
I'll waiting for your solutions...
Thank you in advance!!!
Setting -> power -> advanced
and in TomTom -> Backlight on never
???
I didnt understand what you mean... The way you suggest doesnt make choose which program make my screen stay switched on or not bypassing the "normal" power settings...
I'd like to set any program (TomTom do the same thing by default!!!) deciding which one can bypass the power settings remaining with the light screen on!!!
But not all program, just the one i decide!!!
So.... i can i set my pocket pc to do this??? And how TomTom works doing this by default???
HEY?!?!
............ Really???
No one can help me??? What the...
I still waiting...
Pleeeaseeeeee!!!!!!!
No one... No one.....
SIGH.....
HELP!!!

[REQ] Diamond Lock

To all good developers out there.
I (we) need a DeviceLock Application for the Touch Diamond cause existing lock APPs are to buggy for the Diamond. One is extremly draining the battery and dont lock all hardware keys another one lock all keys but slows down the device that the incoming call is not shown.
I am searching for a simple application that locks the device after I press the power button and unlock it by a slide to right on the TouchScreen. Same if a call is incoming.
Not more!!! A simple lock without additional features. Is there a way that anyone can develop this?????
What about the standard device lock that comes with WM?
You can also activate a today plugin for it, so on your today screen you press on the lock and your device is locked and the screen light is dimmed down and after some more time shut off.
Or you press the power button, then the device is locked and the screen light is immediately shut off.
To unlock you only need to press two buttons on the screen.
To unlock you can also press the power button to turn on the device and then pull out the stylus, no need to press the screen because with these two actions the device is also unlocked.
What's wrong about the standard WM device lock?
standard WM device lock is stupid! it is very difficult to unlock device in daylight. Gray button on gray background and dim backlight... what can be worst?
If anyone know how to change colors in that screen - it would be great!

Ok, that's a point. The screen is unlocked and things could happen unintentionally.
There is a thread about this, with some idea, but I think there is no good solution yet for this issue:

Hi all
have you try Throttlelocker ?
i have install on my Diamond and it run good. light version, no battery problem, skinnable........
i think can be a good compromise.
main point: Throttlelocker can totally lock the device.
problem: you need to turn device in suspend mode manually. since now i have not found a way to use it under the backlight.
ciao
I personally use S2U2, it works perfectly on the Diamond and is fairly easy to unlock. The Slide 2 Answer feature is pretty good too - stopps you accidentally answering calls.

infact on Diamond S2U2 dont lock the home button, and battery slow down very very fast, expecially last version.
with S2U2 battery life is less than one day (medium device usage)
with Throttlelocker battery life is more than 2 days (medium usage too)
due to the fact that diamond have little (big!) batteryproblem, for me better to use Throttlelocker.

And that is the problem. At work I carry my phone in my pocket and if I get a call and dont recognize them my phone answer the call. That is the reason I want a lock software that locks on calls although.

I haven't noticed any battery problems when using S2U2 on my diamond. Every time I put my phone down, i invoke S2U2 (I have it mapped to the long press call button - never automatically, maybe this has something to do with it).
I can normally go about 3-4 days on a single charge while S2U2 is running when I'm not using it.
The version I'm using is 1.18, but I'm going to update it soon.

Too Slow To Answer Calls

So, I have PocketShield installed and it's set to slide or light unlock and answer. Quite often when I get a call it takes so long to unlock and answer, the person is gone...
There are maybe a few options -
1) I've installed and uninstalled so much stuff, maybe I need to start fresh? I have noticed the HD is a little 'laggy' now. Should I hard reset and install things back on slowely, testing it's responsiveness as I go?
2) Maybe I should switch to S2U2? I used this for a long time on my Kaiser, but have been concerned by everyone saying it drains battery power.
3) Do I need a screen lock program? The device only wakes up on a phone call and now you have a slide to answer/ignore anyway. Do the hardware keys do anything at this point? Am I safe to carry it round in my case without a screen lock?
Does anyone else suffer from this, or just me?
Thanks for any help/advice in advance.
Having the same issue. Sometimes my slide option simply doesn't work first few attempts. My solution is to use the "answer call" key beneath the main screen until this gets resolved.
S2U2 works like a charm on the HD and it doesn't draw additional battery as far as I have seen over the past few days.
When u have a call, u don't need to slide so you unlock the device then accept/reject the call.
Depends on what you have set, you can either have the original accepting/rejecting HTC screen poping up to take/reject your calls,
or you can set it so u have a new slider appearing on the wallpaper of S2U2 to accept/reject the calls
Try it, you won't regret it guys.
Well, yesterday I hard reset my HD and installed just the stuff I wanted. I've gone back to S2U2 and everything seems much much better so far. The only annoying thing is sometimes the phone wakes in landscape mode still, even though it's set to not rotate in Gyrator (and doesn't when it's woken, it stays in whatever it is in.)
Whats the difference between S2U2 and the phones default slide to answer phone ?
In other words, why install S2U2?
Its a very well presented Screen Lock, that's why. The question is just how to go from that to answering a call...
Id I have S2U2 installed, and a call comes in on my HD, what happens? does s2u2 take over from the default "slide to answer" system?
Yes it does. I think the problem I had was it wasn't doing that properly before hand. They were obviously conflicting with each other and I was struggling to answer calls.

Well S2U2 will lock your phone screen and buttons so you do not start by mistake an application or a phone call when the device is in your pocket.
Even if by mistake u click on the power on button, ur device is still locked until u unlock it using a slider like on the i-phone.
It allows u to display a wallpaper of your choice, different then the one on your today screen or in TF3D. It allows u to display clock date, network signal, tasks, missed calls, SMS, etc ...
Try it, it's free and very nicely designed
I tried to use S2U2 and found that just like every other locker it is behaving wrongly after a call - it leaves the device unlocked! So if I listen to music and get a phone call I'll have to pull it out of the pocket to lock again. There is a silly option to lock after each call of course, but this is just stupid - I just want the device to stay locked until I unlock it - how difficult is this?
Funnily, the only locker behaving properly is the stock Windows one, but it has a backlight bug and switches the device to Home screen.
It's just amazing how nobody can do such a basic function right.

Just tried it few seconds before posting, called myself from the office phone, answered the call using the slider is S2U2, the screen turned off, I ended the call by pressing on the end call button on my HTC touch HD, and the S2U2 screen lock was there, the device was still locked.
It works perfectly with the touch HD.

Hello,
When the light captor detect that you are calling, the screen is turning off.
Why it isn't turning on when you end the call ?
Is it possible to custurmize it ?

You can use hd tweak or advanced configuration tool to set this up.
yes, but you can just activate or desactivate the option (phone option).
I activated it but the screen is not turning on when i end the conversation.
I have the same problem here. The screen goes off when receiving but I don´t get the screen on when I finish OR when I take the phone away from the ear.
I remember this problem before i install programs.
Is it the same for you ?
I don't think hard reset resolve this.
i ve this problem too. any help?
Same for me, and tweaking the HDTweak settings/AdvancedConfig settings didn't change anything.
Maybe because I tested in the evening on the street though...will report tomorrow when I get a call during daylight
UP
Pleeease !

My ear is touching screen...

I have big problems when i speak in the phone, almost everytime i hang up a few apps have started. Is there a way to deactivate the touchscreen or something when a call is active?
Simply press the power button to deactivate the screen.
Am I missing something?
I always had this till I realized you could turn the screen off during a call. I have a few programs installed, Inesoft being one of them. I believe it's that which auto turns my screen off when I accept an incoming call.

Thanks, that sounds great. I will check it out!
XperiaTweek has an option for this too afaik
please correct me if I am wrong, but i think the Xperia default setting is that the screen IS turned off during a call!
Xperia Tweak offered the option to switch this off and leave the screen on

Do you know the registry key behind this?
if someone can make a program to relate the light sensor with the screen off, coz when am using my BT headset i dont want my screen to be off and when i dont use it i want the screen to be off, so if has a light sensor we should utilize it saying "during a call when u see light dont go off coz it means he is using BT headset otherwise screen is off" or if we can know from BT activity, again a program saying if ur using phone then off is ur using BT Headset then dont off"

Wouldn't it be easier to tell x1 not to screen off when using a Bluetooth headset? or when wired headset is plugged in? But you idea sounds cool too.
it would only the application that does that requires a restart switching between options which makes it a bit inconvenient

I mean X1 does it automatically with my idea. ??
Wouldn't it be easier to to write a program for X1 to know when there's a bluetooth/wired headset connection then mess with the light sensor?
But either would be cool....if possible.
My X1's screen is switched ON by default when I get a call. Its pretty annoying actually.
FURTHERMORE, I've got a password lock on it. So if I speak longer than 5 mins (thats the limit I put for the password), then when I end the call, it asks me for the unlock code before I can see the today screen again!!
Can someone tell me if there's a solution to this??
Thanks
