Poll: Should the 6700 have come with a hardware lock switch?
As much as I love my 6700, the lack of a hardware lock is rather annoying. Today, while I was out and about listening to music, it starts dialing someone on my contacts list (probably from getting tossed around in my bag). I don't like the software lock on it as it takes too much to deactive if I'm just trying to change songs in WMP, but it seems like it's necessary to keep the phone from having a mind of it's own.

I was wondering if maybe there was an app to turn the volume switch on the phone into a lock as it seems less likely to get accidentally hit during ordinary use.

Yes, however, WMP won't play if I use the power button to lock the keys.

options is WMP and set a button to toggle the screen. This will kill the screen allowing WMP to play like normal. hope this helps.

I've tried that. The problem is, unless I have the keypad open, I'm limited to the scroll and its center button which I like as they are to change track/volume and play/pause.

So I guess I can't win .

Try HERE this post has 4 different ways to use device lock and some will alow you to set to a device key. If you want to use the volume button you will need another program but I don't remember what its called. Hope that helps you

Found the perfect program (well, almost perfect. I've realized that the architectual design of the 6700 really prevents me from finding "the one" lock program that works exactly like I need it to).

http://ukaywares.blogspot.com/2005/1...cs-screen.html

It allows me to use the "record" button to lock and I can assign "volume up" to unlock the phone.
