I have just now set it to 8, and that is sticking. And I like 8 better too.

I set the Front to Back to Minimize (you can chose minimize or close) and the Back to Front to ScreenToggle.

It works ok. It is a lot easier to flick a program closed than to press the X, though I could of course just press the End button.
You sort of flick it back to front, or vice versa. You have to travel a significant distance, but not six inches like the author suggest. Just make sure to come to an abrupt stop.

The ScreenToggle flick still works for me if the screen is off, which is how it is supposed to and how I have it set, but after the screen has been off for a few minutes it no longer willl work froom G-Trigger.

Also I set the Left to Right to my SPB Keyboard, but that does nothing. Though I could only point it to the Program Folder for SPB Keyboard - it wont let you chose the .exe (or any) file, just the folder.

And then choose the Sleep option which blanks the screen and locks immediately. Works great. Gives you options to restart and shut down as well. Custom skins on that same thread as well.

Downloaded and installed the above app. It resets, it shutsdown, but it does not lock my phone. It only shuts down the screen but when I bring it back up it is where I left it, unlocked.

I wonder if the behavior of the app is because of the initial not going into lock mode. IE, whatever is causing it to not happen is also causing the app to not lock?

I keep seeing posts about this problem but no one seems interested in determining if it is software or hardware. Sounds like it is a hardware problem.

This bug is exactly how the phone will behave if the stylus is removed or if the hardware sensor for the stylus is broken.

Do a hard reset. If the problem still occurs, return the phone because that means it is hardware and can't be fixed.

i used this app for a day and it always locked my phone.
i have never had my phone not lock when the screen turns off.
sometimes i wish it wouldn't lock as it is a pain when getting lots of texts....

anyway i uninstalled the program because it started to crash my phone (memory errors).

You can map the multimedia key to "Display Switch" in the Advanced Settings\Personal\Buttons option. Once you do this, a double tap on multimedia key will immediately turn off the screen and lock the device.

Update: The "Display Switch" option is available after installing psshutxp (a link to the program is provided in the Imagio Setup Guide thread.

Ah, another nice solution kdittha.
I use that key for SPB Keyboard though.
But now I like using G-Trigger for doing an xdashutdown -lightsout
though I use G-Trigger for opening the SPB Keyboard as well, so maybe I'll give the media key method a try.

EDIT: I need another button. I'm gonna go find regedit for the windows key - with Mobile Shell, I rarely use that now and certainly dont need it.

I must be missing something kdittha...

I am trying to do what you said but I do not see "Display Switch" in the drop down box. Do you have to install the XDAShutdown?

"Display switch" is one of the choices that appeared for me in drop down menu of available programs that I can assign to the multimedia key. I did not have to install any extra programs.

Do you have the Imagio?

I just double checked the drop down box options. "Display switch" is listed in alphabetical order between "contacts" and "e-mail."
