Location of the Turn Screen Off exe/lnk?
 

When you press and hold the End key you get that pop up with 4 buttons, one of them is "Turn Off Screen"

I like how that turns off the screen instantly (and locks the phone). Anyone know where that exe is, if it even is an exe?
I like the WM6.5 lock, so I'm not looking to replace it yet.

On really easy way to accomplish this is using ChangeScreen

Install changescreen - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468488

in the changescreen_conf - Under the "Advanced" tab check "Suspend device in pocket"

Also - remember to set Manila & Cprog (maybe others) to vertical as default

No more pocket dialing!

Create a shortcut for \Windows\DeviceLock.exe and map it to a hardware key. I use the Media Key since I dont use it for anything else.

Re: Location of the Turn Screen Off exe/lnk?
 

Yeah, I have a shortcut to DeviceLock right on my Today screen. But the display stays lit for 5 seconds or whatever.
No biggie I guess, but I wish I knew how to access the button "Turn Screen Off" instead.

hmmm ... I dont have an issue (yet) from pocket dialing. I just wanted the display off without a pause - not for any real reason, I guess.

I use changescreen already. I hadn't tried that option, but I will. Thanks.

Now you guys have me thinking.

Are there different levels of lock/suspend? Is the device simply locked with the screen off, or is there also some sort of suspend going on? And what are the ways to have it suspend vs merely being locked with the display off?

You can set it so that everytime your screen/backlight turn off the lock is on.

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevi ceLockEnable" from 0 to 1

and AutoDeviceLockTimeout = 0 instead of 5 (secs)

Re: Location of the Turn Screen Off exe/lnk?
 

Damn, I hadn't thought about a regedit for the AutoDeviceLockTimeout!!!
That's exactly what I was looking for. :occasion5:

hmmmm ... on a side note, I'm not sure what happened, but I just went into Resco File Explorer to do the regedit, and man is Resco going blazingly fast. I've never seen it so fast - navigating and also the directories open quicker than the eye can see, almost. Even the registry entries and saving them or whatever.

Re: Location of the Turn Screen Off exe/lnk?
 

hmmm ... I thought I only need the AutoDeviceLockTimeout, so I set that to 0 and rebooted. No go. So I did the other edit and rebooted.

When I press DeviceLock.exe, it goes to lock screen and then about 5 seconds later it dims and then 3 seconds it goes out.

EDIT: though that AutoDeviceLockTimeout does control the number of seconds till display goes out if you lock it by holding down the End key and pressing "Lock Device". So what is the difference between that and \Windows\LockDevice.exe?

Using AE button plus I am able to set my media key to turn off my display on the second press. works well although the program is not free. there has to be an app out there somewhere that will do the shttp://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.phpame thing.

check out the trial and see what you think. http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
