is there any software to lock screen for blue angel? thanks
Yes there is...
I just found an excellent program called "ScreenLock". It turns the screen off and locks all the buttons. The only way to unlock the screen is to press button 1 and button 4 together (on the XDAIIs this is the Calender and messenging buttons) or do a soft reset. This program is perfect for listening to music and also save battery life too.
The cab file is attached below. Drag it to your device and run it from there.
Hope this helps.

Cheers for this!
xdadom - top app, thanks

Yep, leapt straight in to my "must have" list.
Fantastic little tool!
The best thing I found to do was assign it a button like the "Record" button which I never used! You can then lock the screen with one touch.
Great when playing MP3s and beats paying loads of dosh for an iPod!

There's also MortSaver

Thanks XDADOM, works on XDA1 as well.
On my QTEK 9090:
START --> Settings --> System (folder) --> Button lock
No need of 3rd party software.

button lock doesn't work if you want to keep on playing music.
problems with screenlock
Installed screenlock on my blue angel (SX66). When I launch it from the program panel, the screen goes black and then a moment later it flashes, the black then flashes. This continues until I manage to get a screen press in during the momentary flash at which time the screen then remains on and active. Not sure what is happening, anyone else see this or am I trying to use it incorrectly.
Thanks
David
is there anyway to change the unlock key(use other key except calender and message?) how?
I think they're the only keys that you can use. I expect that they are coded into the software itself.
on my imate
START --> Settings --> System (folder) --> Button lock
never the less, good aplication
tnx

i think you might installed it the storage card. i have same experience as you when i first time install it, you should install it to the default directory.
psShutXP
Try psShutXP, excellent freeware with lot of functionality
Do you guys use media player for playing mp3s? Cause it's pretty damn easy to configure a button to toggle the screen off. And you can still keep your buttons free for song functions like previous, next or volume up/down.

Hello,
I have a problem with my Hermes. Always, after I turn on my PDA, it go direct to "Today" screen. That means that if I have one program open, I turn off PDA, and then turn on again, instead of have this program open, I get "Today", and I need to use a "task manager" or similar for change to the original program .
Anybody can help me?
Thanks!

UPDATE: From samw52000:
This is a retarded WM6 feature that is enabled as soon as you have a password set for the device.
Remove the password, apps will stay open when the device is powered back on.
Is there any way to fix it without removing the password? I need the password!
Sesaru,
Can you explain a bit more what you mean? When you switch on the Hermes it does go to the today screen after the boot screens as its default behaviour. Not sure what you believe the problem is.

You need the software X-Button
It adds a little icon on top-left corner of your screen.
When you click on it, it shows all the programs that are running, you can click on whichever one you want to bring it back up to your front screen.
It is similar to ALT-TAB on a PC.
I had nothing but poor performance out of X-button.
handy switcher is a better app and much cleaner way of doing it.

Hello;
I'll try again (I made the post at 3AM).
The problem is: I'm using the PDA in anyway (File Explorer, Office, etc); imagine that I'm using Pocket Word. Then, I wait sometime without touching any button or I push on/off button --> the PDA turn off (normal )
After that, I press on/off button (and then, the PDA turn on). The normal behaviour (I think) is to have open in my screen the last application I was using (Pocket Word), so then I can continue working directly... but the PDA always change to "Today" screen. So I have to use X-Button (or similar) to switch to the app I was using. And that is quite annoying ...
I hope I could explain better myself.
Thanks!
Go to SETTINGS, then TODAY. Click on the ITEMS tab at the bottom.
Is "Today timeout:" checked? What does it have in the drop down box?

If not then you're SOL (just like me).
i don´t know why, but i always have my desktop when i turn on my pc
that´s sounds really bad or not?

Hey guys, Ok I know that S2u2 and S2P are intended for touch screens. However, I was able to get S2u2 to work perfectly with a few minor registry changes. I would like to use S2P (another one of A_C programs), but I have not been able to get it to work. I am using version .40 and have found no registry keys that can help. Does anyone have any ideas? It looks like a cool program to incorportate with S2u2. Thanks for the advise.

How did you get s2u2 to work exactly, can you share which version you used and the reg settings? If i can get that going, I'll try to help you with the s2p.
The version of S2u2 is v1.01. When I first installed it it seemed to work but the default setting is to shut the phone off after 30 seconds of being locked so I changed that setting
hkey current user\ Software\ A_C\ S2u2\ OffLCD=17
OffLCD should be 0
THe other settings are just cosmetic. I changed the clock setting to "h" instead of "HH" so it wouldnt show military time. And I changed the file path in hkey current user\ Software\ A_C\ S2u2\ wallpaper to point to .gif files for animated wallpaper.
Thanks a bunch for the help. I really like the look of s2u2 and I think that you will to.
I also got S2U2 to work. The only problem,,,, and this is a BIG problem for me, is that the S2U2 "screensaver" would not stay on infinitely for me. If i had the phone setting there for a while and "woke up" the screen i saw that the s2U2's program was not running in the foreground and showed me the default homescreen. It was still running, however, in the background since i saw it in task manager. If i clicked on it again in task manager, the program started right back up. I'm not sure if this is a conflict of another program ( like smarttoolkit, or the weather app, or photo contacts pro) or if it's because it wasn't made for smartphones. I would love to get a fully ported version for WM 6.1 standard though.
I am still running 6.0. This could be why I have had a different result with
S2u2.
why don't u guys post what others ppc apps that works on dash??
I tried the s2u2 v 1.05 and my phone doesn't like it, maybe i had the settings wrong. I installed and then tried to run ilock, and got error. I could run s2u2 and start the lock manually though. Once i locked it, if i pressed any key, the display would light up. If i was on battery power and pressed the center key to wake it up, then the display would not come on at all , but my keypad lights would and it would lock up my phone and get stuck like that until i removed the battery. I thought I disabled it, but then I got a phone call and the slide to answer screen came up(without the slide though) and then i couldn't unlock the phone and had to pull the battery again. I finally uninstalled. Is there some reg settings that are mandatory to get it to work or is it just that buggy on smartphones?
The only reg change thats manditor is the offlcd=0. I am using V1.01. I wonder if that could be part of the issue. It never did that for me but I am on the old 6.0.

yeah, I did the offlcd=0, because without it when I manually ran it, it turned power completely off, like you said earlier. I couldn't find the 1.01 version.

Ok, got 101, now no more glitches, so it was problems caused by 1.05. But s2p doesn't seem to have a chance without dpad controls available. On the s2u2, how come it doesn't autoset when display turns off? Is there a reg setting for this? And is it just me, or is the display supposed to light up whenever a key is pressed. I still have to unlock for the key to work, but I can't have the display turning on whenever I accidentally touch a key.
hi all

This happens to me sometimes, because of an installation of an app or a skin.. I beleive it has something to do with the volume control scripts or somethin'..
If I were you I wouldn't worry so much, as it fixes up itself when you uninstall whatever caused this problem, or install another app or skin that could fix the problem without you knowing..!
Anyhow, attached is the original volume control files; transfer to your device & replace to WINDOWS folder using TotalCommander...
@chanmama
Would this be your case..?

As I mentioned earlier; this could happen because of an installation of an app or a skin that is not FULLY compatible with the HD, although it works fine.
Try to remember when did this happen so that you'd be able to specify which apps/skins have such effect on your device.
Moreover, you shouldn't worry much about this matter since it solves itself as you install/uninstall applications

Hello,
I have a similar problem: for some reasons, my volume buttons do not work anymore; if I press them once, I go to the usual volume screen. But if I press them again, it returns to the previous screen and act as "go up/go down".
For example : if I am in the Music tab and press the volume button once, it goes to the volume screen. But if I press it again, instead of increasing/decreasing the volume, it returns to the music tab and go to the next/ previous song.
It is quite annoying, so any help would be greatly appreciated
BTW, I installed Reales Task Bar yesterday, and I noticed the problem after that, so maybe it is linked. I uninstalled Reales Task Bar but nothing changed.
**Edit** In fact it was Resco Contact Manager 0.95 Beta that caused that problem.
thanks!!
had the same problem now solves..
resco contacts beta
similar problem here...
the keys won't work anymore if i press them, i always have to open the title bar and manually go into the volume settings and raise or lower the volume with the keys or with the finger.
outside the volume settings it does absolutly nothing?!
I guess it's Mobile Magic, because it changes the keys' behaviour, but i turned it off already.
can someone help?
Same problem with Pocket Shield
I did get the same problem after I installed (and payed for) PocketShield....
Will try to replace the files (mentioned above) unless someone has a better solution?
ya definitely thats because of app installation that is not fully compatible often i have seen those problems and i started making another folder in my pc and mobile saying fully working and now i dont have that problem and ofcourse one of you mentioned the problem bcoz of topbar ya definately dont believe those topbar thats rediculous thing coz u cant uninstall even if u uninstall its always in ur remove program and that effects u on ur screen rotation aswell.
happened to me yesterday so i just did a hard reset and now its perfectly working again

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to get this working on our beloved HD's? I hate the way the screen goes completely black during a call, we can't use the light sensor to tell the phone that the call has finished and it is away from your ear (so screen comes back on a la iphone), and i keep doing things during a call with my ear!!
So this seems like the ideal solution - but i can't get it to work!!
I've copied over the file to the windows folder, then soft reset. Changed the registry entry for phoneLockEnable to 1 in HKLM/Software/HTC/Phone but still no joy!
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
DF

Beside this transparent canvas, where can I get the orginal canvas?
I am using a offical ROM but I don't see this function!

that's interesting, because my screen doesn't go blank during calls and it happens quite often that i accidently disconnect a call (i suppose because i hit a button with my ear).
so in search for i solution i found in Advanced config a tab Light sensor > Light sensor polling which i set enabled. the explanation says "uses light sensor to automatically turn screen off when the phone come near from your ear to answer a call". so this should set it like the i-phone does, right?
hence when i tested it, the screen still was on, even when i put my thumb onto the light-sensor.
is this because i don't have a stock rom (i use Duttys HD V1.9b XTREME) or is there something i can do about it.
it would be really nice to have the screen locked when i answer a call and to outomatically unlock it if i remove it from my head to use some function on the screen..

Hi take55,
Yes, i'm aware of the advanced config tweak (also in HD Tweak), and as you correctly state, the screen should/will go blank on call connection (i'm running kwbr's A Touch Of HD 3.3.4 and mine doesn't, even with tweak applied!!).
Unfortunately, when the call ends and you move the phone away from your ear, the screen still stays blank????? I've read somewhere on these forums that it never will work like the iphone (not sure why, as the light sensor should recognise that we've moved the phone away from our ears).
So that is why i'm trying to get this other method to work. What i have noticed is that with the bmp copied over to the windows folder or with a cab i found by A-Math installed, my dialler locks up after every call (as if the transparent phone lock is in place) but i can't actually see it. None of the screen works and i have to soft reset. Maybe something is stopping the bmp to show on the phone....who knows.
It also might be the fact that this was designed for the Diamond (found the cab on the Diamond forums).
Just hoping some genius here might now how to sort this.
I've attached the cab file i've found, give it a try and see if you have the same issue as me.
Regards
DF

It has nothing to do with the BMPs but with the registry setting that the CAB also makes. It sets HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\PhoneLockEnable to 1, in wich case you'll have to press the power button to unock (no need to soft reset). For the BMP to work the phone/dialer software will have to support it, otherwise it just locks the phone in the usual way: black screen, power button to unlock.

I've also found this problem to be quite annoying during a phone call but have found some sort of way to deal with it.
Firstly my ROM isn't tweaked, its just the basic one already installed.
After a call is connected, the screen switches off. But if you need to access the screen again during a call, I just press the "Back Arrow" key, one of the four hard buttons on the bottom which brings the screen back up again.
If you press the phone button instead whilst the screen is off, the screen lights up again but it puts the call on hold.
This probably isn't the best way to deal with this, but it seems to work for me for the time being, hope this helps anyone else here.

Useful info - I found this particularly annoying yesterday during a ouple of calls.
Also discovered Gyrator tries to turn the phone screen and was laggy - which was even more annoying!
Everyone!!!
CHECK THIS OUT - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489034
Answer to all our prayers - a screen lock which uses the g-sensor and not the light sensor.
Now, when a call is connected, holding the phone to the ear blacks the screen, but when you bring the phone down (to use the keypad or something), THE SCREEN COMES BACK ON!!!!!!!
Tried and tested on kwbr's A Touch Of HD v3.3.4 (probably the best manila2 ROM out there!)
