Turn on HD

Hi all, I would like to ask how can we turn on my HD without press the power bottom. I hope just press the volume bottom to turn on the screen.

Do you mean wake up from sleep or turn on from power off?

Yes, it's very simple : get out the stylus and *voila*, your HD is ready to work

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd
set key: defaultkeylock
from 1
to 0
softreset - that's it.

yes, i want to wake up from sleep or turn on from power off. but don't want to get out the stylus. just press the volume up or down can make it wakeup. tks! I can do this on my diamond.

How do you do this in practice? Some kind of regedit tool?

Yes you need a tool to edit the registry.
There are free one's you can download (Google pocketpc registry editor) but I use the one that comes with Resco Explorer.

Sorry, found the way.

wouldnt it be usefull to somehow use the gsensor to wake it? Like shaking.
Your talking, the screen goes black, you need to see the screen and shakes it hard 2 times right in the middle of conversation.
Would it be possible?

I raised that question elsewhere and was told that when the device if powered off, the sensor are also powered- off ... so !

Just press the 'Home' key to get the screen back on when in conversation

This is great tip especially if you combine it with S2U2 "Slide to unlock"

Turn on using "Home"
Could you tell me how can we turn on HD press "Home" button ?

Miland, any ideas on how HTC control the hardware 'Home button' in the registry? I've been wading through for hours trying to find something as I want to do something similar and "unbind" the key. I previously used AEButtonPlus, but the Home key isn't in the list of configurable buttons on that application, I've emailled the author obviously.
So I thought a brute force approach of changing the registry entry would be the way, but finding it isn't easy!

Is there any way to make, that first press of any button just wake up device without anny action? Like power key.

Thanks! It works perfect.
Now the power button use is minimal

Suspend the HD

Hi All,
Is there any small application, which can simulate I press the power button?
Because the power button is hard to press, I wish to add a shortcut to this application, and tap the screen instead.
I found some which is to turn off the screen only, but I want to put the machine in suspend mode just like press the power button.
Thanks.

Thats not true, you are pressing the button in the wrong way .
Read this.
If you really want a application that can suspend your device look for psShutXp or iLauncher. I think there are really many applications able to do that.

sure there are tons of applications for pocketpc which when started turn off the pda
http://www.google.dk/search?source=...off+program&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=lr=&aq=f
used a few of them myself works just fine

Haa......I also read this post before, I knew how to press the power button correctly......
To be more precise, I don't want to press the power button frequently in order to protect it from damage.

Hi,
How do you change the soft key to this exe.
And can this exe be used to wake up the device by tapping on the screen.
Thanks

You can modify it by changing registry
\HKLM\Software\HTM\Manila\HomeLSK* and HomeRSK* values.
I think a hardware trigger is needed if you want to wake up the device.
To wake up by tapping on the screen, the device cannot be in suspend mode then, just the screen is off.

Any key press wake up - WM6.5?

Hi Guys,
Simple question:
Does anyone know the registry key or a setting change to enable pressing ANY key to wake up the device, rather than JUST the power button in WM6.5?
I am sure this has been asked before, but the search could not yield useable results, since the words, "any" "key" "wake" "up" are so common and are hitting anything and everything.
Thanks for your help in advance!

I would like to know the opposite, wake up my HD2 only with power button.

OK nice... so any help guys ?

settings/system/key lock

Thanks man! Works great !

Use widgetlocker and you can switch on with any button.

thanks a lot for your suggestion. I installed widgetlocker, but in no way I can wake up the display.
I can wak up the display by pressing the volume button or the on/off and the camera button, but in no way with the home button.
Do you can?
