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 button problem

Hi all,
My XDA IIs works well before. But few days ago the Power button doesnt work properly, it can turn on the phone, hold to turn off the back light, but I can't use it to turn my phone screen off like before. Anyone has same problem ?

Can you see any part of the screen? It might just be that the backlight adjustments are set too low when the unit isn't cradled. You might be able to see the screen in daylight.. or maybe it was inside your home. I forgot where I was at when it happened to me. In anycase, if you can see a bit of images on your screen, go into the Backlight properties and change the setting to your liking.
Good luck..

The problem is i can just press the power button to turn off my phone BEFORE (the screen is completly off), and NOW it doesnt work at all ! When my phone was off, I can press the Power button to turn it on, or when I hold it for few seconds the back light will be turned off, but press once to turn off. I dont know why, if somthing wrong with the Power button it should be doesnt work at all, that's mean i cannot turn on my phone as well. But other functions of the Power button are still work well, except the 'Turn off' :roll:

power off doesn't work anymore
I have the same problem here. I can't use the power button to power off my qtek 9090!!
i can use the power button to turn my pda on and to switch the background light on and off - so the "hardware side" of the power button is working.
however, i can't use the power button to turn off the device. it's very annoying, because i can't put it in my pocket after finishing a call :-(
this should be some sort of a software problem - so i hard resetted my device (a couple of times) - but that didn't help!
can anyone help?
thanks,
lorenz

the ba doesn't turn off it is always on staand by mode. ->settings -> system -> button lock
this will stop any missed call because when the ba is in standby the power button is the only one to work

power on is no problem. i can't put my BA into standby mode. if i press the power button while the BA is turned on, nothing will happen. the screen will stay on, the background light stays on.
i have no way to put it into stand-by with the power button!

try this and see if it works. it's a software app that wil rest, shut down, and turn the screen off. just copy it to your BA temp directory and install it.

Is your problem solved ?

Power of switch doesn't work !!!
Any help would be welcome.

power button problem
Does anyone solve the problem???

Had the same problem...
I had the same problem going on for about two weeks or so...never changed anything and it went away all by itself.
The problem has not come back now in over 4 months.
Sure would love to know what the problem was tho...
Greetings,

Power Off does not work
Add my name to people with this problem.
The only event I can link it to is this: I deleted my Motorola Bluetooth headset and installed a Logitech headset. I noticed the problem (can't turn OFF with POWER BUTTON) soon after that.

same problem for me ..... someone must know !!!!

I think it is a hardware problem. The contact is not making cleanly. Disassemble and spray time, perhaps.

It's a standard push switch, easy enough to replace, I occasionally list themon ebay but any phone repairier should have them in stock.

i had same problem yesterday afternoon, but it is ok now. recovered by himself

Write again in two weeks and let us know if it is still healthy. In my case, anintermittent problem became continuous.

Can't turn the screen on after pressing power button
I have a problem with my Bell Atrix. After pressing power button to lock the screen, i can't wake up the screen up by pressing that button again. Could anyone tell me how to fix it pls.

Alternate way to "wake up" your phone??

Folks can anyone tell me if there is an alternative way to wake up your phone besides pushing the power button, i know there are alot of threads about it but havent been able to find the answer?
Any help would be appreciated

You could try screaming at it or violently shaking it, or perhaps banging a loud drum in close proximity to it. No guarantees that those methods would work but they would sure wake me up in a jiff.

Not as far as I know.

Myn's rom has a way you can put a sleep button in the notification bar. Edit: I just contradicted the question, idk of another way to wake it up. -_-

widgetlocker allows you to wake the phone with the volume keys

Plug it into a power source...this brings up the unlock screen.

Simple answer is......................... No

Slap it's ass and then throw water on it. Works on my ex. LOL
Send yourself a text message, plug it into USB.

Try this
Proximity Screen Off
It uses the proximity sensor to turn your phone on and off without touching the phone. It takes a bit of work to set it up but it does what you want.

If you turn off auto screen lock then you can wake up the phone with the volume buttons. There are several apps that turn ASL off. I only use screen lock when I go out and have my phone in its case. At home and more so when I'm tinkering around with the phone the screen lock can be a pain. Can I say screen lock more times or what? lol

download No Lock from the Market. Disable the lock screen, then you can use the power button, or the volume buttons to wake the phone

How important is the power/wake button?

My GNex took a bath today. I stuck it in a bag of rice and after a whole day, its back alive. Almost everything is working fine except the power button. The ROM I'm running allows to wake up the screen via the volume rockers. So, I'm good there. I have a toggle to put the screen to sleep as well. TiBu, TKT etc will let me reboot or reboot into recovery. PGM will also let me wake up the screen.
The only thing I'm missing so far is ability to take screenshots. Is there an app for that? Besides that, how important is the power button?
Also, so far every time I've removed the battery and popped it back in, my phone has booted up automatically. My fear is if for some reason, it doesn't power up, what would be my options? With the busted power button, how would I turn on my phone?

Major Catch 22 - Desire got Wet now have 3 issues! PLEASE HELP

Hi guys.
So i managed to get my desire wet/damp and whilst it still works it has developed 3 issues:
1) The weirdest of all - the phone wont go into standby, as soon as you press the power button or let it timeout the screen goes off and they instantly turns back on to the lock screen. If i leave it, it will timeout again on lockscreen and come back on, it does this forever. I have done factory resets etc, all the same. Weird right. As i result i would like to reflash the mod and see if that fixed it as assuming its software related (somehow).
2) Volume keys do not work - think means i had issues getting into recovery. Finally found a widget to do it and then....
3) Trackpad does not work in recovery so i cannot re-flash or try any new rom to see if that fixed (1)
Proper catch 22
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Install 4ext touch recovery.

Update after installing touch recovery
OK I HAVE AN UPDATE:
The plot thickens but i have managed to S-OFF my Desire and eventually install Clockworkmod Touch which obviously doesn't require me to use the trackpad button so I was able to use Recovery. I wiped the phone and tried reflashing the ROM i had been using (Insertcoin) but this made no difference, the phone still keeps waking up immediately that it goes to sleep (either with power button or by sleeping timeout).
So i decided to install a completely different ROM (CM10_VJ_4.1.2_v3.0) and this installed fine. Now the phone will go to sleep and stay asleep if I press the power button. Problem solved I thought!
Now when the phone is asleep 50% of the time, trying to wake it with the power button will cause it to reset immediately and goto the white HTC screen. When it restarted it sits on the unlock screen and keeps timing out, screen goes off, then immediately on again - weird. If i unlock and lock with power button it will behave. For some reason the Search key will wake the phone every time no issues. Only the power key to unlock causes it to reset. Phone is sleeping according to Battery info.
Any other suggestions for what I could try. Could this possibly be something hardware related now? If there a way i can log the key presses or reason it wakes/resets?
Any help really appreciated, the phone is pretty unusable with this reset issue now.
THanks

theres a few videos on youtube, if it was me i would take the phone apart and clean all round the buttons. mite solve it. But as it got wet, the water could of damaged something in around the trackpad r power button, hense always waking the phone.

Thanks mate. So i tried this and installed CM7 today and have discovered something. As i said above the volume down button doesn't work and the volume up only works with some persuasion. Once i installed CM7 the problem where I lock phone with power key and it instantly wakes up now persists (on the JB rom it at least stayed asleep but reset if power button was pressed again).
However whe i changed the display timeout to 15seconds i watched as it timed out and instantly woke then noticed the volume would increment down one notch each it woke up again. This leads me to think that rather then the volume down not working at all it is actually stuck down permanently and could be causing the issue here. Is there any way I can find out if this is the case and disable the volume keys through software or do i need to open up the phone and disconnect it?
Thanks for any help - i think we are getting there!
Bridgstfer

I actually worked out that the trackpad is being pressed down constantly too because on CM7 when i disable trackpad to wake the phone actually stays asleep. Stil the phone resets if i try to wake with power button though, must be something to do with the button combo being held down.
Is there any way to disable both volume and trackpad buttons at the kernal/system level?
Tried button remapper but does not allow to remap the trackpad press.

With a file explorer, go to
system>usr>keylayout and modify bravo-keypad.kl.

I'm just back from holiday where my Desire had a ten-minute swim in sea water!
Naturally it was stone dead when I remembered it was in my pocket as I waded across an inlet which was supposed to be ankle- deep but was over 1.5 metres in places
I thought there was no point in drying it out without first removing all salt so (minus battery and cards) held it under a tap for several minutes then left it to soak in tap water in the sink for 30 minutes.
I then dried it over gentle heat for a few days then tried the battery. The vibrator ran continually and the white LED flashed randomly but nothing else. After another two days drying it booted - but only into Fastboot and the vol switch didn't move the cursor. But after another two days - it worked almost perfectly! The vibrator is dead and the screen a bit streaky, but all the other sensors work just fine and it's quite useable.
I had been logging the hike using My Tracks and it actually shows the course going a short way into the sea.

do you have an assurance or warranty?
if yes-->change phone.

Thanks for this. I actually got an app that let you remap the keys but it does not let you do anything to the trackpad click button (which is now the one stuck down). See photo of whats in my bravo-keypad.kl file here:

Any other way i can disable the trackpad completely. Perhaps at the kernel level?
Thanks
