Hey so I've tried all the different music players and I'm back to WMP as my favorite.
My question is, how can I lock the screen and shut off the lcd at the same time?
I bike with it in my jersey pocket and the screen is sensitive enough that it needs to be locked, but I'd also like to turn off the LCD.
Lock is programed as long hold of the end key, and I remapped the windows button while in WMP to shut off the lcd (used the keyboard mapper posted in these forums to do that).
Is it possible to use the powerbutton on the top, and keep the music playing?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I know the BA has a built in Screen lock that means I have to press the power button and no other ones, to get it to turn on, but... if I have bluetooth on and it connects to my car kit, that 'wakes' the PDA and before I know it I have all kinds of applications opened cause my case is pressing keys.
I installed a Screen Lock I used on my 2210 which, when activated means I have to first press power to wake the PDA, then press key 4 and 1 to actually bring the screen back. None of the other keys will work unless I press 1 and 4 together first. This is great if I'm listening to music, I tap Screen Lock and put it in my belt case.
The problem with this is, when someone calls me, I don't seem to be able to wake it by pressing 1st and 4th keys like normal. I have to let the call go to answer machine, then I can wake the PDA...
Does anyone know of a better screen lock program that will let me take calls (or should I say, let me wake the PDA when a call comes in)?
Thanks.
No one can help with this?
HI,
I use TCPMP player all the time on my BA-its my killer app!!!, but I have a problem with the buttons going off on my pocket all the time when I am riding my bike listening to mp3s.
If I use the standard way of butting locking .ie. only allowing the power button to react and i start TCPMP then hit the power button it shuts down TCPMP.
Is there a way to turn the screen off and lock all the buttons except the power button?
Cheers!
I picked up a freebi program called "Delta lock" that locks all buttons and blanks the screen, but prevents the device from shutting down

Hey guys, after some searching I still didn't find anything regarding the registration of input, eg buttons or display pressed when the device is asleep.
To be more specific, I would like to see an app that blanks the screen but still leaves WM running, for instance while listening to music - just as some do already.
But then it would be awesome to change the track or pause/play by pushing the big screen - currently programs as Mortplayer support control while the screen is black to save power, but sometimes I think it's to fiddly to press on tiny little button, while the device is in my pocket.
Or can't this be done, as when the screen is powered off also the input driver shuts down?
TIA
My power button has finally gone to complete crap. The only way I can use it is if I pull the back off and press down at a certain angle. Which is rather annoying and not worth the troubles just to turn my screen off. It's a snap to wake my device because all I have to do is press the Home key and it pops right on. I'd like to avoid apps that put a widget on your home screen, I've already played around with those and it feels wonky to turn my screen off like that. Though if I have to, I'll deal with it. So any alternatives anyone has to offer? Perhaps maybe mapping it to the search key since I never use it?
You can use screen timeout option from settings to lock the device automateclly after 15 seconds
And if 15 seconds is long, there are apps in the store that lock the phone after 5 seconds
Yeah, I have it set to 15 seconds, but it's not quite quick enough since I usually whip it out to text then immediatly put it away. My leg likes to open a bunch of crap up and pocket dial people. I'll look into that five second app though, that sounds nice.
I use screen off and lock from market but I dont use the short cut,I just link swipe up in gestures with ADW Launcher to the app.So just one swipe of the screen switches screen off.
Well I mean if you manage to flash custom roms like CyanogenMod it have the feature "Volume rocker wake" under Display.
And if you don't want to use LockScreen, the app App Locker can lock specific apps using pin numbers.
Some kernel for Galaxy devices have the feature to touch screen to wake, but I don't know if there is one available for this device.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, but I think I finally found my resolution. I installed Holo Launcher and it let's you link your Home button to do an action if you're already on your default screen. I installed a Screen Off app and linked it with the Home button. So all I have to do is press Home twice to shut off my screen. Much nicer.
my 10 month old likes to watch a youtube video but of course ends up touching the screen or pushing the home button. Is there a way to lock the screen so its not touch sensitive and disable the home button ? thanks
