I used to keep my Kaiser tilted open on my desk next to my computer monitor at work with the display off. Seems you can't do this with the Rhodium. Any cabs out there that will allow me to turn off the screen with the slide open?
You mean the phone being in sleep mode?
I just slid mine out and tilted it and pushed the power button to shut the display and it did.
It turns off when it is not plugged in, but I have my Tilt plugged in at work, and tilted up so I can see it, ad it will not turn off, only dim and lock.

Go to your power settings and adjust settings there
I did, adn nothing happens. When on external Power: "Dim display after 5 mins" "Turn off power after 10 mins"

Might be silly but make sure you click "ok" on top right. Try soft reset maybe?
I have not had this particular issue on my rhodium but when i was using my tp1 i sometimes had to check the boxes, click ok, then go in and uncheck the boxes, click ok, then go in again and recheck them and hit ok again or the settings wouldn't stick, give that a try and see if it'll work. If you have any other backlight control software chances are it overrides the built in power management also.
To disable keyboard opening from powering on/waking phone
Add this key to your registry under:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"SlideWakeup"=dword:0
Be sure to soft reset after making the edit.
Works on my AT&T Tilt 2 like a charm

PS: this also allows me to slide the keyboard, then power on the TP2 and/or with on then slide open and power off either way

Each time the keyboard slides in or out the screen rotates.
Usually I slide the keyboard out to work with the device. After working I power off the device and slide the keyboard in.
When working again I slide the keyboard out and turn it on (usually it turns on after sliding automatically)
But, it seems that while the screen was off the device rotated anyhow! This means that it has to rotate again when I turn it on. I don't want this. When the device has to rotate, I will do it manually!
So, does anyone know how to disable all this automatically rotating?
I do not understand what you mean. I followed what you did and whenever i turned the screen back on the rotation was always correct as to whether i had the keyboard in or out.

The problem sometimes is that rotating takes some time. In between the screen stays black. So it looks as if the device does not respond and therefor I press the power button once more. I now learned to perss some button on the keyboard - when the light goes on the device is on, but thinking what to do to rotate.
how do i enable slide 2 lock on the phone when it's power off or back light goes off? it seems the only way to get slide 2 lock is to hit start then tap lock....
I think this is what you are looking for. Its what i use and works perfect! my screen locks when my backloight goes out or i hit my power button to turn it back on.

Also Got it from this thread in the software forum. Good place to look for good apps and utilities for the TP2
There are also a couple other auto lock screens here too but the link above is what i use.

Its in the start --> settings --> system area of the phone and its called smart lock. To autolock when backlight goes off check the suspend lock box
do you know if there's a way to lock when pressing the power button slightly?
thats what it does the hit the power button to turn the backlight off and when you turn it back on it will be locked
i just soft reset and now it hangs on the windows screen and won't boot. not sure what to do.

This program WAS working great for me earlier this evening, and I was happy with it.
But it randomly stops working (I'll hit the power button and then hit it again, and it won't have locked the device).
>_> Any thoughts / solutions?

You can also manually lock (with WM6.5) by pressing and holding the end/home key, unless you've assigned it to something else (see Settings --> Personal --> Buttons). Additionally under Settings --> Lock you can check the "Prompt if phone unused for" box and set a time (i.e. the same time as you set the backlight off), but you then do have to enter a PIN or password of your choice, I believe (which I do anyway for security).
I tried various apps such as S2U2, but found them excessively battery heavy or buggy, although Touchlock pro had loads of settings (including using stylus, keyboard, g-sensor etc.) which I possibly didn't configure right!
thanks for the feedback, i do notice sometimes this does not work...i've switched to s2u2 to see how it goes.
Here are some issues with a new VZW TP2 that hopefully some of you can help with:
1. I have my phone set to blank the backlight and go into standby while in either battery and non-battery mode, but there's a glitch. I have always kept the device (previously a TMO MDA) plugged into the computer overnight, but this TP2's blacklight stays on as long as the cable is plugged in, regardless of whether it is charging or not. When I power down the computer the charge light goes out but the backlight stays on dim, so in the morning the battery is nearly exhausted. Is there a way to make the phone turn off the backlight while plugged in, even when there's no power to charge the battery?
2. Is there a registry hack to make the volume buttons increase or decrease volume in lower increments? IOW, now when I hit the "+" button it jumps up maybe three bars when I would like it to go one at a time.
3. When in Opera 9.5 and I click on a link within a website it always gives me several choices, one being to open the page in a new tab. Unfortunately when I do that it always says there are no tabs remaining, and does nothing. There are no options for opening the page in the same page so nothing gets loaded, which is very frustrating. How many tabs are there available and why are there never any remaining for use, even just after launching Opera?
for #1. go to all settings--> system -->power
and click on advance tab...you can set seconds when you want to dim the phone n when to turn off for eitrher when your phone is plugged in or not plugged in...i would suggest you using s2u2 to get more backlight options..hope that helps.
2. Not sure how useful this is, but you can fine-tune the volume by sliding on the bars.
3. You can customize the amount of tabs Opera allows by going into opera:config. If you have push internet enabled, this thread may be helpful.

I did that and it's set at 2 and 5 sec. respectively for "On external power." Keep in mind it isn't really on external power at that point, just plugged in, as there's apparently no power coming in (charge light is off on the phone). If I unplug the USB cable the backlight gets brighter but then turns off in 2 min. under internal power.
Oddly, if I connect the phone to a USB cable that's not connected to the computer it will operate normally. But if it's connected to the computer when it has been powered down by XP (Shutdown), i.e. power is not actually cut like if the PSU is switched off, the display will remain dim all night and in the morning the battery will be nearly exhausted. It is as if there is still some signal coming from the computer telling it to stay on, even though I have the phone set to switch the backlight off and go into standby when under both internal and external power. I would like to not have to unplug it every night, as I don't always remember to do it. It's normal position in the house is plugged-in where it can continually sync with Outlook. My old MDA phone had no problem with this and would go into standby whether plugged into the computer or not.
Hello, sometimes it is unpossible to unlock the screen. When I press the "windows" button. It just vibrates and nothing happens!
Anyone got an idea?

Is it not showing the keyboard? Mine does the same thing from time to time. I just use the accessibility on screen keyboard to unlock when it does it.
it vibrates but the screen does not turn on? then try to hold volume down and power button to soft reset your device.

Yup, just vibrate. no Screen Goes on. When I'm supposed to press that combination? I tried recovery in settings but I don't have enough space ��
Edit ok i reset it. Seems to be one of the updates. But which one?
Edit 2: Back to step one ...

You have to disable the sleep mode for USB ports, it works for me :
-> Go to the device manager (you can go to control panel and click on SYSTEM and then device manager will be in the upper left corner). Go to the very bottom and find Universal Serial Bus controllers.
-> Click on the arrow next to it and it will reveal 2 "USB Root Hub" devices. Double click (or double tap).
-> On each one, choose Power Management tab from the top. Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". Then click on OK.
-> Be sure to do this on both device USB Root Hub listings.”

You are kidding me right? ... this will drain battery..
I send my tablet back for repair, they send it back with the note nothing were wrong... what the **** is that?
Tested it now for a few days and still deep sleep errors (not waking up, just vibrating) well I will call them tomorrow and will send it back again until it is repaired or I get a working tablet!
Update: Got my tablet back and now it switches on / off as normal. BUT the ****er loses all ENERGY over night (out of energy at morning after switched off over night) GAH! Should have never bought that piece of ****....

Non battery drain for me... also without power saving on USB !
I guess the tablet isn't actually powering down, it's just going into sleep mode, or whatever it's called when the screen shuts off. Anyway, is there a way to keep this from happening when the tablet is plugged into the wall charger? It isn't a major deal but it is sort of annoying when I have something large downloading or have the tablet otherwise doing something on its own, but I'm not actively using it. I like to walk by occasionally and check in on things, but will often find that the tablet has shut off. Then I have to turn it back on, swipe the screen, or login if I have security on. Anyway, it would be much nicer if it would just stay on when plugged in. I've looked through the settings and can't seem to find anything related. If it's there, I'm missing it.
Thanks.
There are different between shut off and standby (sleep mode):
1- Shut off: Your tablet is shutdown, the only way to turn it on is power button.
2- Standby: the screen is off, you just need to press power or home button to turn the screen on in 2 seconds. In order to prevent the screen turn off so quickly, you only need to change the screen timeout to 10 or 30 minutes. If it turns off by itself, your tablet has a problem.
Mine can standby a whole week and it only loses a little charge when waking up.

There is no 30 minute screen timeout on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5. The most I can set it to is 10 minutes, and that's where it's at.
Thanks anyway.

we call that a screen time out... you can activate the stay awake while charging feature in developer option... how to activate developer option.... go to setting -> about device -> and press the Build Number 7 times. you will see something like developer option activate. then find the stay awake while charging option. that's all. :victory:
