possibly the magnet in my case is stronger than yours, as that's the way I put my phone back in the case and it does it... screen in or out, same result.

haa "My magnet's stronger than yours!!"

...jokes aside, my TP2 does the same thing with the magnetic case. Try turning the slide-out sound on, it makes noise every time you put the thing in its case. I kind of wanna change the sound to
"Noo!!! Not the case again!"

That pretty much confirms my suspicions. The magnet sensor is there to sense when the keyboard is slid open.

Using the HTC Diamond stylus (magnetic) i found out that with the keyboard slid open you can actually force the screen into portrait by holding the magnet near the send/end buttons. not particularly useful, but interesting nonetheless.

so then a solution would be to disable to auto on when the screen is slid out... personally I rarely slid the screen out to wake the device; usually if the phone tell me a new txt or email arrived, I generally wake and read it portrait then if I want to respond slide the KB out...

if a reg edit could disable the phone waking when the screen is slid out, then that would solve my problem...

for me, S2U2 has fixed this bug.
when the magnet wake up the TP2. it can't go any further

If you're still looking for a reg edit to disable the ''Slide Wake Up'' try this:

To disable auto-wakeup when keyboard is opened:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DeviceMap\Keybd] Create new dword "SlideWakeup" with value of 0 and soft reset. To revert, delete the key or set it's data to 1

Just did it on my TP2, it solved the problem...

Works like a charm. Device does not turn on when you slide the keyboard out, or insert it into a case with a magnetic flap!!!

I've cab'ed it up and attached it (DisableSlideWakeup.cab). This will automatically soft reset after being installed. There's also a cab to enable it again if needed.

EDIT: Okay, scratch all of that....this fix seems to work at first, but after a short perod of time after the reset it seems to revert back to normal e.g. device turns on when you slide out the kbd! I guess I'll delete this post, but will wait to see if others can confirm the registry change does not work.

Thank you Sir!

"Thank you" the cab worked full time, or "Thank you" you tried the reg edit and found it only worked for a brief period of time after the soft reset?
