How to lock the f*in' display ?

[McBright]

I'm really annoyed by the screen.

What i mean is that when i'm using Beta Player, or whatever program that plays music (incl. Media Player) the screen stays active, and keeping in my pocket the phone means that after getting it out i see that i had sent several sms, opend tons of apps, and activated at least the GPS, very often GPRS also activates.

So please can you tell me what program to use (because in o2 German version of the firmware there is no possibility to lock the screen and hard buttons) to lock the device ?

As u might guess, when i use the on/off button it stops my music ...

So i nead a program to lock the device, cuz otherwise it costs me pretty annoying bill raises ...

I don't know of any Utility that does this, but is there no Music/Media Player that keeps playing even when you turn off the device? I think my MDA Compact II did so with Windows Media Player, if i'm not wrong, although you're right about the XDA Orbit, it stops playback. But since the FM Radio keeps playing when the device is switched of, maybe you will have more success with searching for a Mediaplayer that just does not stop playback...

Um, can't you use the Device Lock today plugin?
Or VJDeviceLock, or Matt's Yet Another Device Lock?
