How to Power Down a Universal

Does anyone know how to power down a Universal ?? Just like for example a Wizard or Hermes. When you press and hold the power button on those two devices you get asked if you would like to power the device down and once choosing Yes the device is turned off.
On the Universal if you press and hold the power button all that happens is the light that dims.
Any Ideas ??

VJEschaton can do this I think.

Remove and re-insert the battery - that's what I do when I want the device totally 'off'. Then just press the power button to start it up.

VJEschaton? What is that ?

I am aware of that method... But that is really unhandy

Look in my signature. Find my website - Google might assist.
From there, find VJEschaton, install and launch the shortcut "Sleep".

Hi vijay555,
it's possible your Vjcandela starting with the "camera" button "press and hold" with a simple registry changing or needed a third party software like buttonmapper?

VJCandela could be written to do press and hold, I think the lite version does already.For VJeschaton you may have to make your own shortcut, it wasn't a widely used feature. It's Intel Xscale only (ie not hermes). Make a shortcut with -sleepV

But with VJEschaton do not turn off the device...only sleep mode.

It puts the xscale into deep sleep mode, which is deeper then normal standby. It's for long term shutdown.V

Unfortunately not is possible turn off completely the device.Like s200..9100..etc..!Sleep mode yes,no network gsm,but always an minimal usage of battery.

"Lock" shortcut not working in WM6.1?

I've noticed since installing Kavana's 6.1 ROM (great ROM, btw), that I can no longer use my red disconnect button as a shortcut to lock my phone.
In the past, I would just depress the red disconnect button for a few seconds and it would lock the phone, now I can only do this by hitting the left side power button to bring up the quick menu to do this.
Is there a way to get the shortcut back?
Thank you,
Tim

Locking Dash
I have always held down the z key to lock my phone. This works for me in WM6.1

Thank you, never tried that method, the key is smaller than the red disconnect button, but it'll do. - Tim

Strange. It works for me by default and I am using this ROM:
RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080320_WWE.exe
(apparently this is the same as the 080318 ROM, but with the defaults that he said were turned off actually turned off).

Strange it's working for me now as well.... but yesterday depressing the key would do nothing. Being a Windows OS I should have known I'd need to reboot. ;-)
False Alarm
- Tim

when in doubt.... Reboot!!!!!!!

Is there an auto key lock function or application available for WM 6.1?

Automatic Keylock

Add auto lock to the power button?

Hi,
In general I am very happy with my new TP2, however, I keep forgetting to press the lock button (hold down the call end buttoun until it vibrates) prior to pussing the power button and putting it in the case.
Does anyone know of a way of adding this function to the power button, so that it automatically locks?

If you use S2U2 you get this functionality, I don't know how to do it with normal screen lock.
Dave

Or if you use Throttle Lock you can use a pattern to unlock your device, and you can set it up that when you push the powerbutton it gets locked with the pattern, or that when you push the powerbutton it will wait a x given minutes and then your device get's locked with a pattern.
I don't know how to do it with normal screen lock.

i have this on mine dont know how i got it take it came with some app i have installed

Anyone know how to fix this so that the phone's standard lock autolocks? Tried throttle etc but I still really like the simplicity of the normal phonelock, just need to get it to do it by itself.

Homescreen plusplus (Batterystatus) has this option. You can select lock on standby, it uses normal wm lock app. Used it on my Wizard, not sure if it's compatible with the TP2...

Use TouchLockPro as locking utility. Automatically locks at power on and unlocks by light sensor. And you can configure a key unlock sequence. And with a slide to answer solution, you can only lock the hardware keys at incoming call.

if you simply press the power button that switches off the screen and locks all buttons.
uilt-in WM feature.

If you set a password it also automatically locks it

how do you enable ALL BUTTONS UNLOCK ?
in older devices there was an option somewhere in the keys section, now only the power button turns the phone on,. i want all the keys to turn it on, since i use the s2u2...
thanx

When not removed from ROM you will find it as \Windows\keylock.exe
Otherwise try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5875933&postcount=5
I am still looking for auto lock at suspend. I don't want to install a program bringing with it 100.000 functions.

I dont see the point in adding extra features to a lock screen. its there to keep the screen locked and thats it lol
Anyways, try 'lock device GUI'
It just adds the function to lock the device when the power button is pushed (Sleep).
Keeps the old lock screen, only adds function

Yea check out LockDevice. I use it and it works great..

DeviceLock.cab Works As Well...
I had similar issue. So I installed "DeviceLock.cab" and added it as a Quick Link on HCT Sense 2.5 Homescreen. Now I just have to click on the link to lock the device. Once the screen if off the keys don't matter.
Also used "Lock Screen With Bottom Slider" for easy access.
I can't post links, but if you search for quote phrase, you should be able to find a download.
Hope that helps.

Try smartlock. Works perfect! Just install the cab, then it can be found in: Start/Settings/System

Screen locking application

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 phonewindows->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. =)

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.

Power Button Anomaly

So, I've purchased a replacement LCD top portion for a sprint TP2, and everything works fine after installing it, except the new power button only works when powering the phone on initially (when it's in a completely offline state), but after that it doesn't work to shut the phone off, or wake up from standby (phone on, screen off). You must open the keyboard to get the screen back on, and either remove the battery or use some program (I've installed a CAB for this already) to shut down from the OS...
Does anybody know why this might be occurring? Another weird thing is that when the phone is not even charging, but has a battery in it (and is not powered on), it shows an orange light that would suggest it is actually charging. I've already contacted the seller of the replacement LCD (which is basically the whole top portion that includes the LCD, power button, end call buttons, etc. (the part that "slides up")...they're willing to send a replacement, but I'm wondering if this is something I can actually easily fix myself?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, if there's no way to fix this, does anybody know of how I might be able to remap another button as the power button?
Any help would be appreciated.

If you are using the NRG ROM, there is a command in the Windows directory called PowerOffWarning.exe. It executes the slide to shutdown program. You can map that to a button using the Settings / Buttons icon.

The problem is if the device goes to sleep I can't wake it back up unless I slide open the keyboard.
Is there a way to map another button to wake up the screen again also?

You can change the lock behavior such that it will answer one of the buttons. It is in the Settings / System / Key Lock icon. However that means that while it is in your pocket or case, the phone may (and probably will) come unlocked and perform some function or another.

Under Settings --> System, I don't have a key lock icon. I'm using the default Sprint ROM. Is it possible that this ROM doesn't have that icon?

Drat, I'm using NRG. However I recall that the setting is also present elsewhere in WM 6, but I'm sorry, I can't remember where. It may be in with the power application in Settings / System.

I do have WinMo 6.5, but no real option for this unfortunately..

Taking the stylus out might be another option for switching on the screen, although it's probably more convenient to slide the keyboard open given the choice!

It seems that link is for remapping keys on the qwerty slider, but what about keys on the actual device?

I believe it works with any key on the device.
So, what is it ? It's a patched keyboard driver with configurator application for keys setup. Any key (yeah, i mean ANY, including Home and Back keys) can be reassigned to perform desired actions.
