Disable New SMS Auto Wake Up and Turn On Screen?

Hi,
I've owned the Xperia for a week and it's a great WinMo device. However unlike Touch Pro or Diamond, there's no registry tweak available to turn off the auto wake up on new sms feature.
I found it really annoying. Everytime a new SMS arrived when the phone was in my pocket the screen automatically turned on, and as I was walking my jeans' pocket continuously "touched" on the phone screen and accidentally opened bunches of programs and scroll up and down until it hanged.
It will be perfect to just make sound + vibrate, but keep the screen off, as I could do on Touch Pro.
Anyone knows of such a solution please do help!

I need to bump on that...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
aint advanced config 3.3 working for that?

I was having this problem too... the only thing I changed to attempt to fix this was instead of pressing the power button to sleep the phone before I put it into my pocket, I press and hold the end key so that it locks the phone and dims the screen. The screen eventually turns off and it requires you to unlock the phone when you power it back on. When you receive an SMS or Email, the screen still lights up, but you have to press unlock, then tap unlock to start using it.

Yes, I have the same problem too and hope we can have the option to turn it off so that the screen will not lighted up when there is new sms or call.
Can someone work on this?

The registry key used for the tweak that works on Touch Pro does not exist, which is HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL

That option is for Touch Diamond and Touch Pro only, and it does not show on Xperia when you use Advanced Config. It's obviously related to the registry key mentioned above.

I have found the solution, just need to use any registry editor like the Resco Registry Explorer or the SKTools to edit the registry.
Dont want the device to wake up on new SMS ?
It still notifies you with sound/vibrate/LEDs, but the screen will not turn ON
Just add in the below line into the registry location :
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1

Has anyone tried this out to see if it works...???
Cheers

I have tried it myself and it works, I don't have to worry that I might press anything on the screen when there is incoming SMS.

Thanks for getting back to me...
I was having this problem... when in my pcoket and getting tx message and the opt pad going all over the screen... kinda funny...
Im assuming when updating this key will be deleted and have to be put in again???
Thanks

Not sure about yours but I do not have this key so I have to create a new one and it is working.

I need to create it...
Does it need to be where the
HKCR
HKCU
HKLM
are???
Cheers
Sorted now and working well...
Thanks again

Put it in HKLM.
However Resco registry give me an error and doesn't create this dword. Very very strange...

Using your Registry Explorer an go to the below location :
Location in Registry : HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
Select "New" D_Word and you will be asked to enter the details :
Top portion just enter : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
and bottom portion just enter the value : 1
Save it and you should find the details there :
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1

For easier way, you can download the latest Xperia Tweak and it include the option to turn off the screen for any incoming sms.

Confirmed Work!
I can confirm this solution works perfectly! I thought if the value does not exist means the device does not support it. Thanks chongbh!

turn off screen after new sms

Hi,
It's possible, turn off screen when i got new sms? And turn off screen after missed call??
But, please tell me step by step, what can i do? I'm newbe windows mobile user, and never changed in registry.
P.S Xperiatweak doesn't work.

you want your device to turn off if you recieve a sms when you'r pda is on?

He wants to disable input / turn off the screen.
It is possible with XperiaTweak, I've done it myself.
So, when a new message arrives, the screen does not wake up.

Exacly, but xperiatweak doesnt work, because i have new itje's ROM, base on RA2 and RA3. Maybe someone know, how i can do this without xperiatweak?

[problem] WM 6.5 slide lock problem: UNKNOWN CALLER ID when in suspend/power off mode

there is a problem with WM6.5 roms lock slider:
if a call comes in & the lock is active but the phone is in suspend (power off or manually pressed the power button) the call will show "unknown caller"
you will not see the name until you answer od then you can see it later as missed call
this is annoying as you can not screen the calls & answer/ignore the ones you like
the slider lock will show the name only if the sceen has not turned off yet (did not enter suspend mode yet)
is there any fix out there?
I am thinking if someone knows how to make the screen light dim firest the turn off only (without power off / suspend) then it will work
anyone has a registry tweak to just turn screen off & leave the ppc running without suspend?
or any other fix????
i like to use the wm6.5 lock, i know i can use S2U2 but i prefer this one & hope we can fix it
thanks

Same issue !
Same problem here...
i use Chobit Company SmartLock and HTC phone Canvas...
HTC phone canvas is first to present ID caller then in communication WM6.5 lock is activate by Suspend mode in communication... because Chobit Smartlock is in use... other i have the same issue like You...
unknown caller with WM6.5 lock when it s suspend mode...
i agree, if anybody knows how to solve this problem... i buy it !

hmm i couldn't get the smartlock to work for me on my xperia
i used CsDevCtrl and it's sorta working... it auto locks my device if the backlight turns off or if i manually put it in suspend mode *power off button* and locks on wake up.... has a bunch of features i'd never use so it's a bit more complex than i'd like. but even with that auto lock i still get the unknown caller... i'll have to read more about htc phone canvas.. i'm not really liking the xperia dialer anyway... never have...
p.s. while we are on this topic of wm 6.5 screen lock... anyone else notice that alarms sometimes don't display the minutes if the phone is locked ? the slider works and everything for snooze and dismiss... but... it just shows the hour of the alarm.. and then dots like "10:...." even though the alarm is for 10:25...? plz post if you are also havin this problem...
again tho.. these problems might just because it's not the offical build yet... these problems may be worked out with an offical release... nothing i can't live with at the momemnt

so i still have no luck with this unknown caller ID issue
i am sure someone knows the registry tweak..as many programs just use screen off
for example media player as you can play music while screen is off
or S2U2 can lock / turn off screen but leave phone working unsuspended
please help
Thanks

I've noticed this also but if you use a dialer that has its own slide to unlock then it tends to work fine..at least for me anyway..
It does take about 2 seconds for it to go from unknown caller to who it actually is though..

not sure if device dependant, when a call comes in and no id showing I simply press the power button twice (off then back on) and i.d then shows

Hmmm, after showing Unknown for the Caller ID this morning, now the caller ID is showing up on wake. Strange. Only thing I have done was install the sdkcerts cab. I'll test further.

no caller id in tmobile wing after installing s2u2 1.62

Has anyone tried changing calleridmatch?
Use a registry editor and go to HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value is by default 8, i.e 8 Digits. Change that to 7 and soft reset.
I will test and see if it helps, it used to help w/wm6.1.....

Hi
i did not notice that i guess because i did not the alarm with lock screen before
but thanks for pointing it out
i fixed the problem
all what you need is to unzip the attached file..use the 2 files inside to replace the ones in "\windows" folder
i used resco explorer to replace because they are protected windows files
then soft-reset...everything works better after that & shows full clock & am/pm too
enjoy

It seems that the latest builds of WM6.5(builds 21221 & 21222) have solved this issue...

DUUUUUDE... haha thx!
u got right on that.. i'll download and give it a try.
although i haven't yet had the chance to check since my latest ROM update if it was just the rom or 6.5... but i'll test and reply with results THX AGAIN!
p.s. i wonder if above mentioned power button trick will work with my alarm situation on the lock screen.. willl also investigate!

SOOO>>> has anyone else tried using a custom .mp3 or .wav msg tone.. a non-short one.. i'm using one about 11 sec long.. and when the device is locked, screen on or off... and a msg comes in.. the tone cuts in and out... as soon as the device is unlocked
it stops cutting in and out... doesn't do it if the device isn't locked....
anyone else experiencing this?

Yes. I notice that the cuts happen when the video plays (the small arrows to the left and right of the slider) Once that times out, the music is contiuous.

did u dl the qvga version? im running s2u2 2.02 qvga with no problem.

I dl'd the vga version but on the qvga version, the program freezes up! is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks for the help

I had the Same problem you have to Chnage Display Mode to "RawBuffer" and it wont freeze anymore.
you have to do this thru the registry editor. \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2 scroll down to "Display Mode" and change the value to "00".
that should fix the freezing problem. Hope This helps

Hi,
seems to me that the KGUSERV runs at startup, if you google you will find instructions on how to disable it.
I disabled Palm Treo Pro keyguard this way:
HKLM\System\KeyTouch, change value of "IsAlignScreen" from 0 to 1
Wait app. 30 seconds after changing then softreset the Treo Pro. Now keyguard is disabled.

How to Disable Auto Screen Lock ?

Hey,
can anyone advise me on how to disable automatic screen lock when powered up from standby?
Thanks!

Just want to know the same.
It is very annoing.

Is this not possible?
Is it a part of Sense - does the screen lock dissapear when Sense is disabled?

There is no solution for this.

Is "HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0" not doing it??
Is the lock a part of SENSE?

Speaking personally (and unless I am missing the spectacularly obvious - which is always a possibility) this key doesn't even exist in the registry of my device.
I also have a sneaking suspicion that it may stop the slider as well and I'm happy to keep that. I just don't want to have to enter my damn password evety time...

I dont use S2US and I dont have this key in my registry of my HD2. Any other registry hack?

The one from tboy2000 works for Windows default screen lock. Thank you!
