Hi,
I maybe wrong but so far I think I've nailed this down to task managers installed by either the rom developer or the user that normally aren't in the base rom.
Examples: spb mobile shell, spb plus, possibly even htc task manger.
reason: if you notice spb plus has a Red X option for closing applications when you tap the X, instead of minimizing them to the background. it also brings up a quick menu if you hold the stylus too long on a scroll bar and are scrolling a page slowly using the stylus. if you have this menu drop downwhenyou lift the stylus in that brief period that you do to put it back at the top to scroll further you may end up accidently taping the close application that shows on that menu. it can be triggered by other means on screen and maybe behind the problem.
I've had similar since I run both spb mobile shell and spb plus and have been too lazy to disable the task managers since the schaps rom I run now already has htc's task manager in it by default and is loaded on boot.
try disabling all task managers the show one the top task bar and that recognise screen gestures.
*thank god for full qwerty keyboard on this hermes as i've already done 2 posts today and were this an artimis i' be crazy or not post when I'm out and just relaxing in car in the morning due to artimis doesn't have a mechanical keyboard only onscreen hahaha*
Hi there,
I have the brilliant Dutch ADW 1.1 ROM. Since yesterday however the HTC AudioManager stops playing when I press the off button, while before it didn't.
Does anyone know how to keep it playing again when the device is "off"?
TIA
PS. A program that keep all buttons but power and the screen locked, even when a call comes in also would to the trick.
On my P3600 + Faman WM6 french ROM, I manage to do it the following way :
1 - allow the WM6 screen lock option to appear into the Today screen (trying to translate from French : open the parameters panel in the start menu, select Today/Elements, select "Screen lock" and press "OK" ;
2 - go back to the Today screen and lock the screen ;
3 - now, pressing the on/off button will switch the screen backlight off without stopping the HTC manager.
Hope it works for you.
I use S2U2 and FTouchFlo, so that when I slide my finger right to left, it activates S2U2. Pretty nifty
Doesn't use that much extra battery either.
@deago, I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work. Music still stops when I press the off button, but thanks though
I'll try S2u2 tonight, but I think it is basically the same as slide2unlock, and that works, but not realy how I would like.
And... it workt before, so what's changed?? :S
I use AudioManager with the HTC Home Plugin thing and music keeps playing when I hit the off button. I'm using udk 6.1 rom
I was having the same problem on my P3600, with Axel's wm6 rom. Deago's fix didnt work for me, the only thing i've found so far is that if u install SPB Pocket Plus, u can get a little icon on your Today Screen that's called "Screen Toggle" and when u press it it turns the screen off and locks the keys and everything but the music continues to play in the background.
Hope i helped =)
anyway to have a hermes device wake from sleep using any button?
that would work nicely with s2u2
discover your device
an important thing you should keep into consideration is that with WME you don't own only a phone but a simplified personal computer in addition.
surf your device and discover its abilities!
Hint: your device has a "Programs" folder and also "Settings".
Details: check Settings->System->Key Lock
I have done something like what you say, but the problem is that the buttons *also* activate the feature of the button you press. I think you just want all buttons to pull up s2u2.
I also would think that touching the screen should pull it up, but when you finally work out how to get that to work (it will), you end up killing your battery.
Very simple and very very light application.
Does exactly what it says on the TIN.
The reason I compiled this application is purely to avoid using power button as I don’t want it to worn out. To turn the screen on or off we have to use power button which might stop working if we use the button too much. This application will cut the use of the power button by 50% at least
Rather than using the power button to turn the screen on and off, tap on this application to turn the screen off. Very small application V1.0
I might release another one when I get feedback from the users.
If you want just exe file then copy it in to your phonewindows->start menu-> program folder
Or use cab file which will install it on the above location for you
Enjoy !!!!
Trying to be contructive, the way this application could be more useful (to me) would be if it triggered the standard screen lock at the same time as switching off the screen. This would save me tapping 'start' then 'lock' and then pressing the power button.

hiya,
much appreciate for your comments. do you mean turning screen off as well as locking the screen..? so that when you touch the screen it won't come back on...?
I'm working on to prepare better version i.e. it would be on the home screen so that no clicking on start menu and then this app.
cheers

I think he means that you program should not only turn off the devise, but also lock it with the standard WM lock at the same time. That would be good for me, at least.

screen off + lock at same time only pressing Powerbutton.
It work perfectly for me so as it is. I changed the left soft-key so that it will start "turn off the light.exe" .When the screen is off S2U2 will lock the screen. So I can turn off and lock the screen with only one click.
To change the soft key do this:
with a registry editor go to HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/ . in HomeLSKPath (left softkey) or HomeRSKPath (right softkey) write the address to "turn off the light.exe". HomeLSKText and HomeRSKText are the text for the softkeys.
That´s it!
update for touch diamond
hi everyone,
massive thanks to all those who provided replies. I have tried on my blackstone (Touch HD) and it does seems to turn off the screen plus all keys as well.
I can confirm that it doesnt lock all the keys i.e. doesnt lock the device on touch diamond model. I'll modify the program and upload the newer version with the feature of locking the keys plus turning off the screen.
once agian special thanks to everyone.
Certainly reading the comments above, people seemed to understand what I was getting at. With the screen off, the buttons on a HD will indeed be non-responsive, however if an event (SMS or similar) woke the screen, the device would be in an unlocked state. What I would be interested in is a program that turned off the screen and invoked the standard WM lock program (gwes.exe?).
Hope that makes sense.
i like this application but i think the icon is really ugly..
Hi,
is there a possibility to do a screen unlock application which can be activated by voice commander? the situation is this...
I used voice commander to launch google maps while my hand is busy when the screen is lock. however, i will need a program which can be initiated by the voice commander to unlock the screen so that i can navigate the maps. Right now i will have to unlock the screen the normal way which i find voice commander redundant since i'll have to use my finger during lunching anyway.
Can you help me on this? Many thanks in advance. =)

Here is the app that has the feature which you prefer:

Thanks for the link!
Been using this app so i dont have to fumble with the power button to turn the screen off. Seems this app only turns off the screen and doesnt actualy put the phone in sleep. I would like an app like this that acts as the power button does. So when i put the phone to sleep with the icon, i cant accidently slide the keyboard out a touch and have the phone wake up.
The whole deal has to do with tilt 2's keyboard sensor and magnet cases. With this app, the keyboard sensor still activates when sliding into a magnet flap case, while having slie to wake disabled

Hiya,
I'm working on the program so that you can have configuration option to simulate power button to put phone in sleep mode or jus to turn the screen off. This utility was just for people who want to save power whilst listening to the music, etc.
Please keep any ideas/suggestion coming. Much appreciated guys.
Watch the space guys....
That is great inítiative. I use the screen off function actually for the purpose to save power when navigation. screen off when there is a long straíght way to drive.
Put device to sleep mode will cause gps signal lost, which is not so nice.
I can image that there will be a lot of person who wnat to have different adds-on on this small application, it might be a solution to provide command argument.
Thank you.
I will try to see whether this one works for my purpose. Actually in my situation, I even don't want any key be locked as these keys are mapped for navigation.
How about screen toggle thus it is possible to map this application to a key?
awesome, i mapped the exe to a hardware key next to standby. now i can easily save power while wardr listening to music. ^_^
it combines very well with s2u2 locking function too.
big thanks!

Tom, may be it was to late to find your toggle light off switch, but it was very important for me to find it, thank you man, you solved a terrible issue for me, which is that programs stop updating (eg: twitter) when the device is in standby mode.
I heard that you can release another one, so my feedback is:
it takes about 2 seconds to turn off the light, isn't there any faster??? ))
This application is great. Combined with the S2U2 and HD Tweak i don't even have to use the power button at all. Device locked by S2U2 as soon as i turn off the light, waking up device by pulling out the stylus and rebooting with the help of HD Soft reset. Thanks
P.S. You should really add a decent icon, even though people can change it if they want to.
Now im sure i had this working, but not 100%, now it dont work, ive searched, but there only seems to be mention of in the media players, ie tcpmp, core, nitrogen etc, the option to turn the screen off.
Theres other threads on here about getting the screen off, but not locking the keys, i allways seem to dial someone when doing it this way!
Now ive just dug out my TyTn 2 and tested
run tcpmp, played an mp3, gone back to my main screen, locked the keys and hit the standby button, = phone screen off, phone lock, but still getting mp3 playback.
Why cant i get my touch pro 2 to do this????
I use Nitrogen with S2U2 and it works just fine. No amount of button presses turn the device on, except for the power button.

Tried that, but you still cant lock the phone 1st then turn the screen off, unless im missing something?
Has this S2U2 got anything to do with what i want?
I think it has to do something with the headphones being used. I can lock my device with s2p running being pluged in to a 3.5 cable while i drive.
no one share this issue then? still bugs me i can do it on older devices and not my TP2?

I'm guessing you're trying to use the standard windows lock screen and then power button? I don't use the built-in screen lock, and just use S2U2, which I've set to only come on when the power button is pressed. So I can start nitrogen, play music, hit the "screen off" button on the default skin, which blanks the screen, and when I hit the power button, S2U2 comes up first.
The other thing to look at is possibly the Keylock under start, settings, system. Not sure which ROM you're running, so it may or may not be there. I have mine set to disable all buttons except the power button when screen is off.
I'm having the same problem, when I play my music on my TP2 on speakerphone and press the power button to turn the screen off (to save power) it shuts the music off. I would like this to stop.
Try looking at
Code:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\BattPowerOff
I think on some ROMs it's set to 180. Try changing it to 0 and soft-reset & test.
not to be thick in the head...but could you spell it out for me what this would do before I do it
ok, so I regedit it and the value was 0 already so now what do I do? I tried changing it to 2 but I don;t know what I'm doing
since no one seems to care about this lol, I found a solution. I just downloaded "turn off the light" app and that works great. it cuts off the screen to conserve power but doesn't kill the music

I realize I am a bit late to the discussion, but mortsaver is an older but functional utility for this. There are probably more elegant ones nowadays, but on my apache I use mortsaver with wm6.5 when I am listening to music or even with google maps when it used to freeze if the phone was put on standby.
Hope this is helpful. It's attached. Thanks to everyone on these forums!

I just tested this and you're right, it won't work this way. By pressing the standby button, it suspends the audio. I'm sure it does that by design, and most likely to save battery. So there's possibly a regkey to address that. But in the meantime, why not do it this way:
setup s2u2 to lock on power button press
run nitrogen
play an mp3
hit nitrogen's screen off button on the default skin
profit
That's how I do it, and the music keeps on playing indefinitely. All the keys are locked, and the only one you can hit is the standby/power button, at which time s2u2 comes up and prompts for either a password (if enabled) or a slide to unlock, all the while music is still playing.
Cheers agentdr8 that does the job, but after using s2u2 for a day, i dont like it! The touching the slide to unlock tab on the screen just aint big or as usable as i like.
Pocket Player by default has "do not suspend power while playing," it keeps the music playing when your phone turns off.
Unfortunately, pocket player costs $25 or something like that.
