Aaaahhhh! So many questions, my head's going to explode!
I don't have a wing, but all your questions are pretty basic and something you SHOULD be able to figure out by just playing around with the phone, reading the manual and reading the Herald forums. I'll just give you some good or possibly bad advice here.
1. My sure-fire method to lock my phone? Hit the power button. Locked.
2. I'm not sure if you're asking about the T-Zones app, or the T-Zones connection. Please clarify.
3. Are you asking how to remove the calendar from your mainscreen? If so, Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items (lower tab) -> uncheck "Calendar".
4. No ideas there. I never use it.
5. More apps, games? Lots of them here. Even more here.
6. Not sure about the Wing, but with the Wizard and Hermes it will dim then go black. Maybe you're not giving it enough time?
7. Scrap the install CD. Just download Activesync from Microsoft.
(Just a side note to #7. To fix your Flash problem, download and install this, reboot, then redownload and install Flash from here) Voila!
Have fun!
P.S. This one was a "gimme". Next time, please make an effort to find your own answers to such simple questions.
thanks for the quick response. sorry for the silly questions, first time i've ever owned a smartphone. use to have experience flashing/flexing motos, but this is a different story
anyways
1. what exactly does clicking the power button do? it seems to make the screen go black and "locks" the phone
2. well i don't use tzones i just want to get rid of it from bottom right of screen, the tray. searched the forums a little and pple say you need to change the registry but i am not sure what to use to edit the registry. any suggestions?
3. nope i'm trying to get rid of the soft/smart key shortcut button. already got it off the menu so that didn't really help
4. anyone else?
5. lol i assume i just search for WM6 games/apps?
6. i give it enough time...30 minutes later screen still isn't black. what exactly is "Wizard and Hermes"? and your answer to #1 kinda solves the problem but yea still would like answers to #1 and to #6 that i just wrote
7. didn't work guess i'll try to download/install directly

No worries about the questions. We all have to start somewhere. Just remember to check out FAQs up top. You'll find some general guidelines about the site there.
Okay, let's keep this number pattern going, it's easy.
1. Hitting the power button puts your device in "standby". A phone call, alarm, reminder, or whatever will still wake it up for you.
2. PHM Registry Editor is super easy to use.
3. You can remap button behavior by clicking Start -> Settings -> Buttons.
4. uhhh....
5. Exactly!
6. Try this, Start -> Settings -> Power -> "Advanced tab", then set when to turn the device off. It sounds like your backlight is going off, but your device isn't, but should shortly after.
7. Darn
1. awesome this makes it easy to put into my pocket
2. will try that out after i got activesync working
3. still no. it's the bottom left shortcut key. that button wasn't listed
4. do you know any other alarm programs?
5. lol yay
6. ahhhh i turned that off myself. when it said "turn off" what i thought was like the phone actually turns off. it just puts it in standby so all is good
7. just installed it directly from ms need to restart i'll try it tmr and update you on it
okay i can't install PHM Registry Editor. tried running the setup but it's not appearing in activesync. any ideas?

But bumping one of the phone buttons will turn it back on.

No, that's not true. Only tapping the power button again will get it out of standby.

Actually, under Settings -> System -> Key lock you can set it to wake up on just the power button or by any button press.
i just decided to go with the standby power button mode. it works fine. i still can't get rid of t-zones from the tray. please refer to my post in this thread

Why would the OP do that? That seems a bit counter-productive, don't you think?

Wow, i installed it, awesome...right?
Kinda, except the home button is glitchy, i click it and the current app im on will disappear and reappear, so i click it again and the same happens so im stuck in the app. The only way is to reset the phone.

Why dont you click the back button?
Btw, this thread is for "Development".
I guess
Sorry for wrong place to post but still, even if i press the back button, that will sometime's take me to some random app i opened half an hour ago and then wont go back any further and then the home button will still do the same thing.
Dont press and hold just press and release
I know im not the only one who has this issue...If im on a call and have a black screen the want to hang up, more often than not I find myself waiving my phone around or trying to find a button that will wake up the screen so I can end the call. anyone have a quick way to get this done? thanks.
just move the screen away from your head and the screen should light up
If it doesn't return phone to stock with odin then take it into sprint and tell them you want it fixed (If you have insurance)
its normally when im on speakerphone and have my phone on a table or center console
I have some icon on my screen that I can't get off... Can you help?"?????D?SD
OO then try changing your "screen timeout"
Settings---> Display--->Screen timeout
try setting it a little higher so it wouldn't turn off

Sorry It was tongue in cheek...
Just implying, that we can't help out unless we are given some more info... :\
Ie... OP.... What is the rom you are running, what kernel have you flashed, what add ons have you messed around with, what themes have you tried, etc...

Hey! Don't say that! It's only true if you believe it to be! lol..
BTW.. I love your signature...
OP.. Try waving your finger over the top portion of the housing above the screen and see if it is your screen protector messing with the proximity sensor by lifting the corner to give it unobstructed access to light..... That is a pretty common issue...
Another option is to enable ending the call with the power key (assuming your on 2.2)... This way, even if the screen is unlit, a simple press of the power key will disconnect the call.
To enable this option, hit Menu->Settings->Accessibility->(if you get a popup saying "No accessibility applications found", just hit cancel)->then toggle the box next to "The power key ends calls".

the only problem with this is if you're on a call that you need to press numbers on (like press 1 for english, 2 for spanish, etc).
the only way I know to wake up the screen when on speaker is the power button so for that reason only, I'd advise against this. I say just tap the power button and be on your way.

PERFECT! Thats just what I needed
Slightly wet the button area, now the home button keeps triggering non stop. Everything else works fine.
Ive tried the following solutionsb
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/guide-oneplus-2-home-button-dead-t3324321
Phone is currently sitting in a bag of rice so let's see how that goes.
Meanwhile, can anybody think of a way to disable the home button (perhaps through terminal or something)? Because the phone would basically be usable.. I know there are button settings, so if only I could somehow put home button as "no action".

The thing is the constant pressing of home button makes me not able to navigate anywhere.
The only place I can actually do something is in recovery, because the home button doesn't actually do anything.
If there's a way I can enable it in terminal in recovery mode that would be great.

Edit: figured it all out!

Hope the moisture dries out and your fingerprint reader starts working normally
Tip of advice for everyone who has problems with the fingerprint reader after it got wet or started to get crazy for any weird reasons at all.
Drain the phone battery until it dies. Then try to boot it up to drain even the last power in it.
Then recharge the phone.
By draining the battery and recharghing it you reset the phone's sensors.
Be lucky some of you aren't living in a country like me where the weather is moist all the time. I had to do this method thrice this week ??

I don't know at which time this got activated, maybe its a "feature" of the CarHD mod I am using, but its so annoying and I cant find how to disable it. I googled it, searched it here and in the phone menu, but no luck. Taping the front camera notch locks the phone, and holding it brings up the power menu. Its so useless and annoying, because I press it by mistake and lock my phone. The actual power button is much more easy to press. Anyone has the same issue? Have you found how to disable it?
Thanks in advance.
There would be an option in the carhd rom control app, perhaps in the status at section
