i was wondering if it was possibloe to switch of and on flight mode using a button. couldnt find this option. the significance of this is that those who have dual sims can switch between networks easily. i know there are today profile manager avilbale like phonealarm and zenphone but i dont see a point using them as they just clogg up my today screen. im just trying to keep as little aplications on there as needed. someday ill get myself to remove pocktplus if i can find a good close program. ive tried magic button and battery pack both are no where close.
I use tel-on-off.exe from www.freecabs.de, a very small util. I bound it to a hardware button using AEBPLus, found on this forum. When I now press the calendar button twice, the phone radio shuts down and I go into flightmode. Pressing twice again reactivates the phone and shuts flight mode down.
You can also find a flight mode switcher on the site of Crino, who made Call SMS Blocker. You can find that thread with his homepage link on this forum.
That link doesn't seem to be working, try this one! http://www.inntalinfo.de/apboard/useraction.php?action=get_upload&id=252
thanks found tel.on-off.aebplus caused a mess with my phone last time so not installing that. another question i have is..
how do i display on today screen which operator is being used at present. (i.e. when i switch from orange to o2 it should show me on screen in big leeters)
Use pocketzen. gives u a lot of functionality

hi guys,
i'm looking for a program for my sx66 that will allow me to lock the hardware keys and screen when i place it in it's holster. i have tried screenlock 1.2 and mortsaver but they don't seem to work.
anyone know of any programs that do this?
thanks!
try settings ->system ->button lock
it is already build into windows
Isn't that designed for only when the phone is turned off? I'd like to keep the phone on and lock the keys.
The phone will keep functioning with keylock on just lock the keys and give yourself a call from another phone , you'll see it works
Doh! Why didn't I think of that?
You are referring to toggling the keylock on from within the programs, not pressing the power button (which I assume does power the unit off), correct?
Thanks.
The power button does not power off the unit, it just turns off the screen or if you hold it for a few seconds, it turns off the backlight.
you may try Start->Settings->Personal->Password along with Button Lock in the System Settings. This will have your keys completly locked.
Thanks guys. That will do what I need.
I think that mortsaver is sort of a work in progress. There is a beta that works way better, but the only place I've found it is here not on any website:

You can get the latest beta from the last or second to last page, but you might want to read the entire thread to get an idea of how to use the program. I think it will soon be a killer app up there with pzp
hi,
does anyone know how i can set it so the screen auto locks after a given amount of time or is there a freeware app that can do this please. because i rather have it that having to remember to press the power button to lock everytime, sometimes i might forget.
cheerz,
snoop
Lock the Screen? Power-Button simply switches the Device of, e.g. the screen. In Power Management you can set a Device timeout in Battery Mode and on AC Operation. This is equal to pushing the Power Button
I think i see the problem, or i'll tell my problem with that issue...
When you push the power-button the screen turns off and is locked, but if you receive a sms or so, the screen returns back on and is not locked...
ok ye i think u get my point.
i dont know about screen lock after receiveing sms or call.
but i c the point of samson, pressing the power botton does lock the screen.

look for deviceock or vj devicelock.
There is a today-application called BatteryStatus. With its help you can lock the device automatically when it is shut down. Does the job for me - of course you allways have to unlock the device after turning it on.

If you had bothered typing 'BatteryStatus' into Google you'd have seen it was the first hit. Establishing it is the right program is simply a case of reading the web page. Why are people so goddam lazy these days?
yes ok i get your point. sorry.
right i have installed. lots of nice options and things. but have little problem now. As we knw the device has the function where as the backlight will turn off after a set amount of time. Mines set to 30sec for battery power and 1min for external power.
After 30secs (using battery) it does its job and turns off the backlight. Normally i would press the power button and device turns back on. HOWEVER! since installing batterystatus the device just wont turn back on. I mean its got enough battery, i can tell this because 1) the light at the top flashes 2) Heres the strange thing , the only way i seem to be able to waking the device from backlight is by pluging in the usb cable.
So i thought i would try and un-install the app see if that would help..but nope that didnt help because it still does the same thing.
After installing the app i did a soft rest. I thought it might help, but it didnt. This is the other thing, once i did this, i see the t-mobile splash screen where shows the ROM and other info. And then i just goes blank for a while....and then i see the T-mobile PIN entry keypad splashing by every few secs. I was only able to by pass this after trying and trying to enter pin number on a black screen.
Do you think i should do a hard-rest? Dont really want to do this. Means i have to re-install my little apps and contacts, email settings etc etc.
Can anyone help me with this problem please??
Hi there, i had quite te same problem, after a soft reset the backlight turns on until the bootup screen dissapears, then the screen seems to be blank, but it shows everything, but without the backlight on. You have to point a light onto the screen and you can hardly see wats on it.
Then go to the backlight settings and turn it up.
Then you have to look at every program, thats adjusting the backlight settings and turn of automatic darken screen or so in the program.
That helped for me.

And :S stranger thing was that the problem didnt happen this time, i saw the t-mob splash screen, saw the windows mobile green splash screen and then my keylock and then pin number screens.
hmmmm no idea wots that was all about. but hey its all working K.O so im happy now. just got to fiddle with the settings now

Hi all,
received my O2 Oribt this morning and have spent most of the day playing around and trying to get it set up. I have tried a few things and failed at a few things and now have some questions.
1) as far as a stand-by mode goes...it just fades out the backlight right? theres no screen saver or blank screen option? I did see an option to turn the unit off after x number of minutes but surely this means it wont receive calls or anything, not much good as a phone when it's turned off.
2) I can't find anywhere where I can set the device name for bluetooth. Is there anywhere to do this?
3) is it possible to change the text message alert tone?
4) I recently read a thread about a T9 input cab. does this allow you to write text messages as in a 'normal' phone - using a number pad and not the keyboard and stylus?
I'm sure I'll have some more questions at some point!!
many thanks for any help
I would start by saying having taken the manual out of the box? and secondly have you actually started to read it.
1/ You are pressing the power button for too long a simple press and release is all that is needed to turn the unit off. Press and hold the power button and the back light goes out (as you have found). The phone part is not actually switched off even with the screen off, if a call comes in it will wake up, you can turn the phone off by putting the device in flight mode, or settings/ Phone.
2/ Why do you want to change the BT device name, it should be the same as the owner IIRC
3/ Start/ Settings/ personal/ Sounds and notifications
4/ Never used that so cannot comment - Mike
i've been searching but with no success for an app that only puts phone in deep sleep like the power button does so i can put it in my quick links like i have restart button that came with dutty's rom and put the phone into sleep with one tap. i know about xdashutdown and similar programs but i'm searching just for standby app. i've been reading about mortscripting and i think it could be made throug that but i'm not that good at programing.can someone help me, pls.
sorry for bothering i found it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544475 ), only problem is it doesn't work with smartlock 2.0f, wich settings are to lock the phone on suspend, it works with pressing the power button (the phone locks)but not with this app that also do the same, puts phone into sleep?
So I activated Universal Switch on S6 Edge to check it out, something went wrong in the settings (long story short, got a pop up while setting it up), now screen unresponsive.
It works, I just get this blue horizontal line scanning the screen and nothing else but the power button and home button works. Tried safe mode, no bueno. How can I disable US feature without resetting to factory or at least no data wipe (if possible!)?
Android 5.0, rooted with pingpong, no custom recovery, knox 0x0.
All help is appreciated.
Same
[The exact same thing just happened to me someone please help
Fixed!
The way I had fixed this is by holding down the power button, both up and down sound buttons, and the home button until it restarted. When the device turned back on it gave the option to turn the setting off. Hope it helped!

how to turn off universal switch
hit home button 3 times
Thanks alot
It worked buddy
It doesn't give me the option to turn it off
Hi,
I have been struggling with Universal Switch on a Samsung S5 Neo. I switched it on, but was never able to switch it off again.
These are findings so far:
-> Did a factory reset using "Sound Up", "Home" and "Power" button simultaneous.
-> The device comes back and wants to configure itself again.
-> I restored my settings from Google, but this immediately brought back "Universal Switch"
-> Factory Reset again and configured the device, but told Google that I want to use it as a "New Device".
-> Now I can use my device in a proper way.
-> In Google Play Store I find all my Apps which were linked to my account and reinstalled them and I am back in business again.
-> Took me half a day to sort this out.
The programmer who designed and programmed this should be hung and shot and poisoned, because this is absolute Crapware.
Hope this helps for all the others who are suffering.
You can also push the home button three times and it should turn it off.
thank u ur the best
Ok, so i have exactly the same problem except my home button doesn't work
Anyone one know how to sort this without having to take it in to a store?
I was faced with this problem before and looked everywhere and couldnt find a fix. This was a while ago. So I dont remember what I did to clear it. I was cleaning off the screen and touched the home button as I was wiping it off and the problem began again.... I just came across your comment because all the others failed. I pressed the home button 3 times quickly and the blue lines stopped scrolling. In addition, I went over the accessibility and I turned off the "Universal Switch" option as much as the option allows. I hate this function. I do not use it or need it (for my needs). I hope I can remember what to do next time this happens. I swore to myself I would remember last time, but apparently that wasnt a guarantee. This time, I will write it down and put is somewhere I know I will find it next time I see these nefarious blue lines scrolling. Hopefully I wont see it again since I disabled it more than it was to begin with. Thank you ever so for commenting. You saved me a lot of frustration!
great fix
