Turn off screen on Windows Mobile

[InTheater]

Hello everyone,

I have been searching for some time about a possibilitie / software that will work for my actual HTC (Diamond pro) but nothing comes to be even good. And then I remember the old times with an old HTC (sorry I do not remember the model) where a dedicate key could turn off the screen

what I am looking for, if anybody has an idea, please share it,

- hot key, shortcut that turn off the screen, and disable the touch screen
- the screen come become a-live with same key-press
that's all !!

and what I think would be the perfect solution.
- and application that as soon as it get started turn off the screen and disable the touch screen, letting still the functinality for the device to be controlled by the PC (personally I use MyMobileR )
- in that way it could be assign to a hot key, or to a short cut in the screen/menus (I will love to be possible to assign to a long touch on the central pad/button)
- it could have advance configuration options :
dim light levels instead of complete turn off
splash a logo / screen instead of black screen
- configurable key to let the app go, again lovely if a long central pad touch would make it

mainly the idea is to save battery / turn off the screen (touch also) in a easy way without lose any other functionality when the device think is not time to do it (connected to PC, GPS application, Music playing, etc...)

any idea ?

I would love to program it, but I lack the skills necessary for it. within my ignorance I presume is not a difficult app to be develop

thanks in advance

you can make a .lnk file of "lights out" and assign it to a button.

Hello dude i can share what i think

Im using Turn the Screen OFF
Its very litle and simple app so after install it on the Main Memory she will apear in the start menu, you need just to go in settings, personal, buttons and there to map some of the hardware keys to use Turn of the light.
I didt it with my Answering Button and when i press and hold that Button my phone go to sleep mode fast.. when i wana wake up the phone i can do it by the Stylus.. if i pull out the stylus the phone wake up or the second variant is to press the Power button.

Im using this app because i don`t want to use my power button anymore and this program really work for me and is free

Im using Touch HD but the program will work on any WM Device
