I used Pocketmax Screen Guard back in the days of WM2003SE
But I have been looking for a similar program or a way of mapping one of the keys on my Hermes to lock the screen.
Anybody any idea's on how to do this.

So... what do you mean? Pressing the power button for a second or two does that now - put's it in standby. That renders the screen basically "locked". Do you mean something else, or is that what you were looking for.
Okay I should have been more clearer :
I want to Map say for example the Camera button, so that when pressed it locked the screen the same way as tapping the Device Lock on the actual screen.
So i can do it without touching the screen itself.

Hey woody, I have been looking for a way to 'unlock' my device without touching the screen or sliding out my keyboard to hit '*'. If went so far as to dumping my rom to look at the device lock app. Does VJ's tool allow you assign a hardware button for 'unlock'? Thks.
I think it is only lock.
Pocket master has that function but currently only for wm2003se
My Artemis Orbit on O2 froze so I did a soft reset - no luck so I did a hard reset. The phone boots to the green screen which says 'Tap the screen to set up your Windows Mobile-based device etc'
However there is no cross to tap and screen taps do nothing.
I've flashed the ROM via the Bootloader screen (followed instructions to load the correct O2 Operator NBH file to the root of a Micro SD card) a few times but no luck.
I cannot find anything on this problem on the site but I can miss things!
Can anyone advise what I need to do?
Thanks,
Stew
Seems nobody knows what I should do here.
I can get to Bootloader and see ActiveSync but it won't go past the 'setup screen' where it asks for screen taps to align the screen. There is no 'cross' on display.
Which part of the software controls this?
On the inital screen there is no cross, but a screen tap anywhere should start the setup proceedure.
I cannot get a screen tap to be accepted anywhere. The Green Setup screen appears asking for a tap but that does nothing - I'm thinking a tap with a large hammer is coming to it soon! Only joking!
Is this a hardware fault I've got rather than a software problem?
There is no screen cover on it as I've read than can hamper screen taps.
My Touch screen won't align.When I hit on the target, it doesn't rotate to the four corners of the screen as it would normally do. When I tap on the lower right corner of the screen, the target marker will rotate to the four corners of the screen. It ends up not taking me to the Today Screen. I'm confused on what to do. I got to this point becos I had to hard reset the phone when the stylus won't respond.
Any suggestion will be so much appreciated.

What unit?
What unit do you have make/mdl? This info will be needed to help!
As far as a hard reset to get it working ??? I don't think it should have needed more then a soft reset? Unless the touch screen is broken!
Thanks for the concern.I have a vodafone 1620 PPC,
I just resurected my xda IIs from the grave and upon start I come to the Align screen stage. I follow the directions as usual but it just keeps asking for the taps over and over and over. It never passes the same five steps. I've tried different ROMs but they all stop there. Could it be caused by the little internal battery being dead? Is my digitizer crap? Is it martians? Are the forces of evil combining against me? Am I doomed?
I'd like to see this old guy work again.
Thanks for any tips in advance.

hard rest then hold the 2 buttons next to the volume slider only and press the rest button on the bottom using the stylus.this should take you to the 4 color screen with 3 options to be set
1st one leave as NO just press the top button
2nd option as yes by pressing the bottom button then press the top button to goto the 3rd
3rd option change to yes again by pressing the bottom button
then press the message button on the front that looks like an postal letter
this wil reset the options saved kind of like resetting a pc bios to manufacture defaults .
then try again to do the alignment.
I had similar when I flashed pdaviets rom to my blue angel and that resolved it
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I broke me screen tinkering with it so I'm not able to test your idea.
I started with two LCDs one with a bad digitizer and one with a broken screen. I touch the digitizer off the one a replaced the other so that I had a working screen but then I had the problem listed above. Before I saw your response I thought I might have some dirt or something under the screen causing it to not work so I took it apart but I guess I was just a little too rough this time and cracked the LCD
I'll have to find a new LCD if I plan to resurrect this phone.
Thanks anyways for the help

I´ve tried everything with my XDA III PH20B1 - no camera model -, but I never get the 3 options screen. Just the 4 colors and bottom right the radio version R 1.10.00.
Is there any other way how to make my O2 XDA III boot after the WM6.1 upgrade ( from 2003se) ?
I have the same problem (I have already reply in another thread...), I am still trying to fix it. I suspect from the backup battery, since before I hard reset my SX66 all programs lost their configuration when I turn off and on again my SX66, and when I tried to realign the screen the align cycle repeated forever. Then I tried hard resetting, reflashing to various OS's and I can not pass the initial calibration screen.
Please keep me posted if someone have found the way to solve it.
Thanks !
no need to upgrade or delete anything from bios,this is not a cause of motherboard and software.I removed the motherboard and essembled in a working screen phone.there is no problem all ok,its not a problem with backup battery too.Then i changed working phone motherboard to cant align phone but same as before it dsnt align.Therefore in my investigation its a problem with the touch or screen.
its not a problem with screen cover too.
If any knows the exact solution for align problem screen ,please post it.
eway - press the power/stand by and leave for 15-30secs
then pen reset, press [cam] + [rec] as the 4 colour screen comes on and change 2/3 - as previously stated countless times - press [mail] to reset - this will reboot your new rom.
touch flo user manual is a little allusive
but, soo much too test, soo little time

How to bypass Align Screen?
If you have flashed a proper rom/ hard reset your device, there could be some dust on display which won't let the align screen pass. This is a real annoying feature on WM platform. But guess there are always ways to bypass software related issues.
The display can be cleaned by patting a small amount of water on it, and then running the water along with a visiting card on the edges of the screen. This will take off all the dust on the sides, and will let you pass the align screen easily. You can simply wipe the display propely with a glass cleaner.
If this doesn't help then :
When your phone says align screen, connect the phone with computer and get it detected in Active Sync. Next, you could be able to access Tree/Files on your phone. If you are able to do so, then go to startup and delete files directing to Align Screen, if I remb it was "welcome" something. Delete the file, and there won't be any align screen.
or
You can always go for an easier method. Download Code Factory's Remore Screen Alignment (http://www.codefactory.es/en/downloads.asp?id=108). And simply enjoy.
In both of the case, active connection with Active Sync is important. If you are unable to connect your phone, then I believe there ain't any way other than changing the display.
Hope it helps.

O2 Flame
Hello everybody,
I've got a serious problem with my 2 years old O2 Flame: sometimes, when I reboot my pda, I can't realign the screen. And when I can do it, after a while, the left of the screen doesn't respond, or, when I click on it, it's another part of the screen that answers! I flashed the bios already: nothing changed.
@Gerd
Did you try Remote Screen Alignment?

This is for HTC Wizard, but it should work.
Hi guys.
I just had a problem with my XDAIIs. After I sync it with my PC and restored the back up files, the touch screen suddenly doesn't work. I reset it to scratch, now I couldn't even proceed with the reinstallation of the OS as I can no longer proceed with the touchscreen alignment..
Im stucked with nothing on my XDAIIs.. any help?
THanks
There is a program called "Remote screen alignment" from Code factory (http://www.codefactory.es/en/products.asp?id=244) which will allow you to skip the alighnment process. This can, however, result in an incorrectly alligned screen (Don't count on entering your pin from the touch screen, use the keyboard instead.)
My touch screen was unable to sense some of the screen which made it useless, after it broke (don't drop it on rocks) I completely replaced the touch screen. This requires some expertese in the use of a soldering iron and how to dismantle your device (Tx-6 required).
