Keep power off when sliding open keyboard

Black06c230 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-03-2008, 02:33 AM

I know....or at least I think before I hard reset my TP that I had found a .cab or a regedit that would keep the power off (screen) when you slide to open the keyboard.

I have searched high/low...to the best of my ability and can not find anything on this.

I used to and still do slide my phone open/close when bored sometimes while waiting in line and what have you.

Please help...it annoying that it keeps turning on. Mogul had it so this must to right???

thanks

You can disable auto-wakeup when keyboard is opened.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DeviceMap\Keybd]
Create new dword "SlideWakeup" with value of 0 and soft reset. To revert, delete the key or set it's data to 1. Source

I've been searching around and this seems to be the closest to what I'm experiencing.
First off, I disabled TouchFlo, and I am using the Default Windows Mobile desktop along with iLauncher (which is priceless to me). I use the same 'Device Locked/Unlocked' today screen option as I did with WM5. However, while its in the official sprint rubber case and clipped on my belt, sometimes the keyboard opens a bit, and this automatically unlocks the phone. Is there a way to prevent the phone from auto-unlocking when the keyboard is opened?

What these guys have offered is that the screen will not come on therefore the device will not unlock or be able to unlock.

Edit: I hope. haha

It works great for me and with S2U2 it really saves battery by protecting the device from accidentally running apps or keeping the device awake.
