Does anyone know a software that can toggle touch-screen feature on/off on Magitians?
I don't mean blanking the screenduring a call, but rather a program that blocks screen tapping. I want to operate my S110 with buttons without worrying about accidental screen touches.

Hi

You can always use TPenable.exe and TPdisable.exe from any Extended ROM.

Good luck

Thanks but... TPDisable.exe disables all buttons also. So, it doesn't work for me.

Hi, do a search for "mortsaver".

I know MortSaver. This program turns screen off entirely, not only touch-screen feature. So, doesn't work for me either.

As far i understud, you can configurate it to do what ever you need:

"What is it good for?

MortSaver is a combination of screensaver, keylock, and a "stay off!" function.
Screensaver:
The display's turned off, but the PPC keeps running (e.g. for audio players). In spite to other tools, MortSaver turns off the dispay again if it's been switched on by e.g. an alert or the on/off button.
Keylock: All buttons (except the one necessary for deactivation, of course) are locked, as far as it's possible to me. A few programs sadly use some undocumented tricks, which allows them to get the button presses even if they're assigned to MortSaver in the system, or set themselfes as topmost window, by which the direction pad keys will be sent to this window. Disabling MortSaver can be done either with one button or a sequence of two buttons.
"Stay off!": PocketPCs are often switched on by themselves or accidentally - by alerts (appointments, SMS, ...) or accidental button presses in your pocket. In those cases, MortSaver can turn off the device again after a selectable timespan (so you recognize MortSaver's active and the device alive).

After power on or system-caused disabling of the screensaver, MortSaver shows a countdown until the screen or device (depending on settings, also see instructions), the button(s) to deactivate it, the time, battery level, a user definable text (e.g. owner infos), and on Phone Edition devices also signal strength and hints about missed calls and SMS."

I am not saying that Mortsaver does not deliver what promises. Simply I am looking for something different.

To rephrase what I need in other words:
1/ having screen on (to see what is on the screen)
2/ having device making no reaction on screen taps
3/ having all button working (slider, power, application)

I've configured my S110 to operate and run everything I need on the run by one hand using just buttins. But quite often accidental touch by finger or cloth (when I pulling it of the pocket or putting it back) stops what I run or making a second call to the person I've just talked.

Look for Pocketmax ScreenGuard works perfectly. Costs some money though.

ScreenGuard ( http://www.pocketmax.net/screenGuard.htm ) still locks the buttons, though? Except for the green call button - and then only when you also use their PhoneAlarm app.

ScreenGuard falls close to what I am looking to. But it locks buttons and couple of times it locked "too good" - I couldn't unlock my device and needed to HR.
