Total screen lock

[t0flus]

Every time an event occur on my device, like incomming SMS or so, the screen is enabled and the button lock is turned off. I want the device to play the sound but not unlock the screen and hardware buttons.

Has anyone developed a program that can run in the background and take care of this? I'm sick and tired of taking the phone out of my pocket and ten programs are running and using battery!

Sitting in classroom......recieve SMS (i forgot to turn volume down)........embarrassed....thinking.....I'll read it later.....ten seconds later.... my favorite song is all over the room.....thanks to my windows media player shortcut on the today screen...

oops; silly me i forgot to include how the bloody thing works 8)

--------------------------
ScreenLock is a very small and handy tool to turn off a PPC's display, and lock all the hardware keys, including power button. It'll keep your PPC alive even without any program running. It'll help you to save battery power while streaming or downloading big files, or playing music.
To turn on the display and release the lock, just press on the left most hardware button (first button) and the right most hardware button (forth button) simultaneously. Only these two buttons are pressed down together can unlock your PPC.

I can't unlock the screen.....The left most hardwarebutton must be the Startmenu button... and the rightmost must be the OK button.....?

ok guys, it works this way:

think
in settings disable default "button lock"
to unlock use record+calendar hardware buttons pressed simultaneously.

... as it was not designed for pda phones, it doesnt lock green and red buttons. this is good and bad. good is that you can pick and hang up phonecalls. bad is, that you don't see who is calling, and when phone buttons are pressed, screen is flashing very funny way.

i've been looking for a similar app for ages so downloaded the trial of 1-pass.

After 15 minutes of trying to get it to work I've given up and uninstalled it. Problems I encountered were:-

1) tapping my soft key password did not unlock the machine, it just sat on the 1-pass security screen (there is no enter key to tap after entering the soft key password).

2) activesync claimed the password was incorrect and refused to connect.

I changed password several times, studied the help file and the support web pages but found nothing to help.

Maybe I was missing something, but if I have to spend more than 10 minutes and 3 resets to get something working on my xda II then its not worth keeping it in my opinion.

I'm not sure, but I think you don't have to enter the password. You can just assign the password to the button combination.

According to the help, to enable activesync to connect, you must enter the soft key password. Also I don't remember seeing the option of not assigning a soft key password in settings.

GREETINGS!
It is worth keeping in, if you get it right.
After first installation you get the screen like " Wecome to 1-pass....." wherein you had to feed the hard keys password. The next is "Retype hardware key Password.....", then comes the"Enter backup password", retype it and comes the screen "Thank You the password have been successfully changed. I think this can be done by going to >Start>settings>1-Pass, and then change password.
If the password is not accepted then, any of the two will let u enter the setting.
As far as active synch is concerned, it only accept your backup, softkey password.
