I don't know if I'm missing something here, but doesn't the power button already turn off the display when you press it?

first: sorry for reviving this old thread.

never thought I'd ever go back to Windows Phone 7 apps. My daughter dropped her WP7 device into water. Even after several cleaning and drying attempts the power button does not work anymore. All other buttons do work.
This app was a god send! thank you. Now she doesn't have to wait for the 30s screen time out

wonder if it's possible to create an app that does a combination of Vol down and Windows button to accomplish the same.

thanks again.

yeah thanks but I was probably not clear enough and I have this already on her phone.

what I meant is an app that changes the physical button behavior of Vol down and Windows button, when pressed together, to turn screen off. The screen off tile is OK for now. The problem is that once the screen is off the only way to turn the screen off is to open the keyboard (slide phone).

The other issue is that once the phone is off you can't turn it back on because the power button is dead. So you have to plug it into a usb port and it turns on.....

cheers
