key lock software for sx66?

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

Power Problem

My PDA2k seems to be turning itself off even when in use :?
I use TomTom3 in the car, and even when the power is plugged into the bottom it was turning off ever few minutes.
I just took a phone call and when I has finished talking I noticed the screen had gone blank and pressing the red handset didn't bring it back, the power button did. (I do have screen lock on).
Having said that, thinking about it, I was watching TV progs on WMP on the way home and it never shut itself off once :?:
Anyone have any idea what is going on? Is this normal?

I have an o2 XDA2 S running TomTom 3 with the TomTom cradle. I occassionally find that the pda just turns itself off.
It doesn't happen all the time.
I have also found that sometimes during a call the pda turns itself off and I cant get it back on by pressing the handset key, just the on off button.
Cheers

click start>settings>system>backlight . . in here you can change the time it takes to turn off in not touched the device, 5 mins max.... also if you click button lock in system settings, you can set it so that when it happens, you can tap screen and it comes back on again.... tho i prefer to keep that off, otherwise it may ring people while it its protective case.. :lol:
and going by all the software that is out for these xda's, you can prob find a programe /or hack to change it even longer if you need that!!!

But when it is on external power (plugged into the car using TT3), it shouldn't shut down at all. Aside that, when in use (when receiving a call) I wouldn't think it should shut down should it?
I have a seperate scren lock installed too. I found the built in one not enough. When it is in my belt pouch and I get a text, or connect to my BT car kit or something, it wakes it up. All of a sudden all the keys are being pressed (by the squeeze of the case) and all kinds of applications are opening!

Orbit lock-ups

I have recently upgraded to an XDA Orbit and have twice now had a lock-up
under the following circumstances: I removed the Orbit from the cradle in
the car and diconnected the power lead. Copilot was still running and I
pressed the GPS button to return to the today screen. I then locked the
handset and pressed the power button to turn the screen off before placing
in my pocket. On removing from my pocket again the power switch does not
turn the screen back on and the phone has to be soft reset.The only other
function active would have been the phone.
On reset the handset remains locked and has to be unlocked before entereing
the PIN code for the SIM.
Anyone else had similar lock-up

Hardware Key Screen Lock

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.
Pocketmax is currently updating it's software :

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

Device lock or not so locked

Hello ...
I have strange sitiuation. even when my device is locked but on if i accidentally press any key the backlight keeps turning on! for exemple if i get a message i dont read right i way or if miss a cal while in the trinity is my pocket ....even with the device locked while i walk it sometimes presses some key by acident the device can stay on for hours draining battery
is there a way to really lock keys and the only way to used them is either unlock using the touch screen or if some special event happends like phone call o something but re-lock the keys after this events end?
its a bit complicated i know.... lol by the way im using the latest bepe wm6 rom....
All the best,

Auto lock...
Is it possible to have the device lock after a given period of inactivity like nokia phones and so on can.
I use the program "Device lock" to lock the device. I can but it on the today screen, assign it to a button, but how to autolock the device?
