I only want the hard keys disabled while the phone is locked. It amazes me that some nitwit overlooked this when coding the TP2 interface.

Does the solution proposed here work like this, or do I lose the hard key answer and hangup at all times? Does the pocketshield disable both the device lock AND the slide to answer/ignore that are built into the TP2?

TouchLockPro version 2.9 has now *NEW* ZoomBar unlock.
Great for HTC Touch Pro 2.

Trevor, have you looked into using the keyboard config program + the stock lock/unlock program? I'm trying to make it where if I long press the end key, the phone will lock, then turn the screen off.

Hmmm. Haven't tried that, but good idea!

Of course, if you could find an executable somewhere for the stock WinMo lock program, this would be a breeze. I don't think one exists (however, I haven't done any research). Anyone else? Let me know if you find out.

I do prefer TouchLockPro however, as it doesn't block your screen when the device wakes up like the stock screen lock does. You'll see a little white box appear on the top right (when locked) but that's it -- so the rest of your screen is viewable.

yeah, i browsed quickly through the windows folder hunting a exe but didn't see one.

Ok, I've gotten a .exe to run. But how do I make the end key do multiple things, ie run an exe file and then power management turn off the screen all with just one long press?

I don't think you can assign multiple actions to keypresses. Actually, I've never seen an app that could accomplish that, as it would also have to execute things in the proper order as well (or it simply wouldn't work).

However - try assigning your POWER key to unlock with a double press or long press. So your unlock mechanism would be: 1 click of the POWER key to turn the device on, and another click to unlock it. I've tried this and it seems to work, and it's a good workaround I think?

Trevor, which key is the power key in the config program? I've looked endlessly and can't find it. I know if you want to assign something to your power key, if you hold it down it comes up as POWER. But if you want to remap the end key to the power button, in the drop down menu there is nothing in the list on the power key.

Your unlock key assignment sound great, but I just would like to long press the end key and have the phone lock and power the screen off. i see where per key, you can have several rules. I don't know exactly how to use the rules.

Switch the Action to "emulate key press" And the "End" key should be in that list as well as "End Call"

I probably misunderstood what you were saying SO let's go for approach number two

Switch the Action to "power management" and "Screen power toggle" should be what you want?
