Keeping the backlight off in a poor coverage area.

I've tried everything and read lots of posts. I've installed proximity sensor and kept my phone in a case. That didn't work and assumed it was the magnet on my case, so I changed the registry to not turn on the phone screen when the keyboard was slid open. That hasn't worked, so I installed an app called screen off that keeps the screen off while running an app like a GPS app, but that doesn't work either. My GF lives on the water, and my phone goes in and out of 1X and EVDO and my screen is constantly turning on by itself. It's annoying, and her Evo screen stays off while my TP2 turns on every few minutes. I have a hi-capacity battery that doesn't even last a day because of this. Anyone have any creative ideas, besides getting her to move or break-up? :P
