That I would agree with you as well, although I have already gotten the hang of sliding the phone in then pressing the sleep button...

Re: Magnet in case turns LCD on

ok so it meems to be linked to the keyboard sensor, because I put the device lock back on, (which didn't lock the phone when you slid the KB out from sleep) and the device lock doesn't turn on when you pull the phone out of the case.

does anyone know of a way to basically disable that? so when the KB is slid out the phone doesn't turn on; that should eliminate the issue of it turning itself on when you put in in the case, or take it out...

thanks,

This is not neccesarily true. The touch pro 2 is running a TFT-LCD. This is completely different from a traditional CRT and should not be affected by a magnet.

thank you

Magnets affect CRT screens. When's the last time your phone had a CRT screen? They're all TFT LCD screens, magnets don't affect them. Are you stuck in 1990?

do you 3 actually read enitre threads or no?? but thanks for the repeat answers..

How can you not like sliding out your phone and your screen automatically turning on for you?
Wake up on slide out feature = WIN

i dont know what your using since your MightyMike and all(no sarcasm intended), but sliding the keyboard to wake the device is standard

Sliding the keyboard open (to expose it) and sliding the whole phone out of a leather case, are 2 different things.

gotcha, just misunderstood i guess... i can understand on the TP2, its new.. but mikes on a TP, how can the magnet wake the device?? im stoned and just ran a magnet all around my TP and it doesnt wake up, so i dont see how the magnet from a case could..

I would have had mine at almost exactly the same time if the idiot at Best Buy could have figured out how to activate it. I had to take directions in to them so they could make it work.

When i swapped my touch pro for the touch pro 2, i told him I was doing the activation myself lol. He started rambling on the $25/esn swap and I was like yeah whatever man just give me the phone. On mytelusmobility.com I have $0 esn swap's, so I can just swap for free whenever I want. Don't ask me how I scored that sweet feature, one day It just went from $10 to $0 all by itself lol.

Re: Magnet in case turns LCD on
