Hi,
I've got a problem with my wired remote (w100) in combination with HTC audio manager. When I want to skip a song using the wired remote it unlocks my phone, resulting in pressing several buttons. When I use the same remote with HTC audio manager with the Kaiser (using DSC 1.5 rom) this problem never occures and the phone keeps locked. Could someone please help me with this problem?

I have the same problem. Whenever I use my wired remote I have to press the power button on my phone to turn of the screen. S2U2 won't even stay above the audio manager. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a HTC P3600 (Trinity) with WM5, and have just bought the W100 wired remote. I use PointUI Home ( http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx ) which has a built-in screen lock.
But when I used the remote (play/pause, skip song and so on) together with Windows Media Player it would make WMP come into the foreground and stay there, so that the buttons could be pressed. I tried to install S2U2, but experienced the same problem.
Then I found out, that if I use the default device lock in WM5, I can still use the remote without bringing WMP into the foreground.
So I installed Matt Armstrong's DeviceLock ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=261277 ). It is a small utility that, when executed, puts on the default WM5 device lock. I assigned DeviceLock to a hardware button and ... voila!
Now I can start a song in WMP, activate the default WM5 device lock by pressing the hardware button to which I assigned DeviceLock, and use the remote. It will still bring WMP into the foreground BUT the default WM5 device lock must be unlocked before I can press any buttons on the screen.
I hope this helps you.
PS: I also assigned the DeviceLock to the lock icon in PointUI Home so I can start it from here. Let me know if you need help to do this.
You should only install S2U2 and enable option "Lock when device wakes on" and set option "Power off in" to 5 sec. All functionality of hands free RC W100 preserved! Screen of your PDA will be turned off and buttons will be locked.

hello...
is there any way to lock all the keys.....but still be able to recieve calls (and txts etc)?
The reason i ask is beacuse i want to be able to listen to mp3s while the xda is in my pocket.....
thanks

On phone app, choose Tools->Options->More
Hardware button Lock
'Lock all buttons except Power'
Sorry, misunderstood.
You want to lock it whilst it is powered on. Don't know how.
On PocketDiVX and PocketMVP, you can map the hardware buttons. So if you map both hardware buttons and all directions on the rocker keypad to something which doesn't interfere with MP3 playing (such as 'increase brightness'), you're all set.
I would keep one (maybe a rocker direction?) mapped to toggling the screen on and off to save batteries though.
sorry for souding stupid but...
WHAT???? LOL :lol:
i have no idea what you said.....sorry, i have only had my xda 1 day and i dont even know how to use msn messenger yet
lol.....if u could explain in dumb terms...i would be greatful

well windows have smart key settings like if you
hold down the ALT key and press the F4 key the active problem close
and if you hold down CTRL + ALT and hit DELETE it reboot if it's win9X and give you the taskmanager if it's NT/2k/XP
some you can set yourself to do what ever action you want it to
well it's the the same thing with your XDA when you are running a program you can change what the buttons on your device does
so when you are listening to mp3 then you set the keys actions to something which does not interfear with your music playing, you can prob set these up in the program you use to listen to music with
and in the end a7GH add that it would prob be a good idea to set on off the buttons action to turning off the display to save juice
Does anyone know a way of mapping one of the h/w buttons to switch BT on and off. This would be espescially useful for when driving and using BT tools and wanting to switch on BT using a one handed action without looking at the screen.
One way I can see this happening is if I can get hold of the command that can be inputted using the run function provided by PHM powertoys (that can be mapped in the buttons section in the settings-> personal menu) that could toggle BT on and off in the same way as pressing the BT icon on the today screen that is installed with BT tools.
Any other ideas welcomed
Hi.
I found the programm for button mapping called AE Button Plus It works perfect on the Rose.
You can use it f.e. for display off/on switching, toggle wifi, bluetooth and mapping of all buttons for functions you would like.
Its really, my recomendation!
I tried the app but it broke all the default button mapping, power switch and holding the end key down didnt lock the screen any more, the camera button still works. Do you have any tips on using the software? I dont see a manual or documentation for it.
Thanks.
Ok, so loving my HTC S740 after changing from Qtek 8500. I know to initiate keylock you have to hold down the End Key for 2 seconds, but I am used to just closing my Qtek 8500 after a call to lock it. I also know you can activate auto keylock, but I need to keep my keys open sometimes. I would like to be able to just short press the Camera button to Keylock the phone. I have got as far as remapping the Camera button by changing the shortcut Short_Camera.lnk. Tried it by renaming Internet Explorer shorcut and it works! So far so good. But what shortcut to use or how to setup a shortcut for keyLock to remap to Short_Camera.lnk.
I know this sounds really petty, but can't wait and hold the End Key for 2 seconds every time!
Any help appreciated.
I don't know if it's possible by clean way without installing anything, but I have done this by assigning one harware button to 'turn off display' in AE Button Plus (which also locks keypad)
btw, I really like behaviour of some touchscreen htc devices where is device switched to standby by upper hardware button, and no other button can wake up device. It would be great to set up my S740 this way - anyone know if it is possilbe somehow?
