Try this software developer, go to Start -> Settings -> System Tab -> Key Lock

When device is off:

Lock all buttons except Power button
Lock buttons if device is locked
No not lock buttons

All you have to do is set it to the first one, hit ok and call it a day.

If you're phone still did this even after setting that setting, then it's your phone that's at fault, not Windows Mobile.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/
Realize that even your good driver lacking Touch Pro has a decent shot of performing the tricks done this video if its processor was 1ghz. What qualcomm needs is optimization, not MOAR power. This processor will be terrible on battery life (by general account).

And also remember that this is a very long time from being released, and not a guarantee to come to sprint. TBH, the newest batch of winmo phones usually makes a stop in the US around late summer. . . and dont believe the palm pre hype, its looking a lot like the Bold IMO, wait till you get a chance to play with it IRL.

No, Nerds like to have full access to their system. And they also like to spend their time on accessing ththeir system on their device and making that the "content" of it, instead of using a well designed device that simply delivers to aid them in the REAL WORLD.

PEOPLE like stuff that works. People then don't care HOW it works.
95% of users don't have to know that.
And that doesn't make them stupid, so please don't follow up with any "if you are too stupid to launch the taskmanager and force quit an app that blocks your mobile from responding you shouldn't ... blah blah."

Apple sells BECAUSE it works and you don't have to care how the thing works. The thing is designed to know how you work. And Apple stuff is still not perfect. But lightyears ahead of the retarted stuff WinMo is, which is clearly not done by designers, but by programmers.

but hey, to each his own.
And the market reflects that. The majority buys devices that work and don't hassle them with needing to learn computer language. The minority will keep to their "if installed a system extension and know every key stroke makes a star trek tricorder noise" or "I have installed a background Application that monitors if my computer at home is still downloading the porn que I set up and alerts me with a Star Trek video every time some unimportant trivial thing happens. Sometime it hangs, but no problem, I just launch the TASKMANAGER on miy MOBILE, search the task, open the terminal, send a force quit, run the reset script via terminal and load the app through the terminal launch script I wrote. Cool! This is how a mobile pda should be!"

Haha.]]>Feb 4th 2009 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/
Apple spent 5 years developing the iPhone. And it shows. I think the next revision will makeup for the current flaws. And if it is as thin and has a screen of equal or greater res than the current iPhone (3G), then life will be good.

All good reason why I think Apple should license the iPhone OS (X). Companies like Tosh would build it solid and leave Apple to the default spec and software.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/I think the real innovation for iphone os starts now. They created the foundation with os 1.0, they released the sdk and app store with 2.0 for developers ahead of the competition, and now we will see ui improvements, new features and optimizations.
Think of it like Mac os x. os 1.0 was OSX Cheetah, os 2.0 was Jaguar, and now the awesomeness begins with os 3.0 (Panther).

Bad comment by Shattered Ice. Which also seems like a natural fit. He's gonna be your supervillan.

WonderKid and Titanium face of against Shattered Ice, the mutant from Planet WinMo.
Lol.

Ok, enough kidding:
„You know full well they will add copy and paste and that will be it. What apple need to do is listen to the people instead of the finance manager to really sell the iPhone.”

How much bullshit can you count. It's this weeks puzzle question!

HEY, SHATTERED ICE DUDE:

Apple doesn't listen to the people, because people can't articulate shit and don't know shit.
A Designer is a designer because he knows how to design.
If you ask people, like I regulary have to do they will tell you that they want their phone with a TV Tuner, a Zoom Camera, a video recorder, ham and eggs, a toaster, beer dispenser and all that for free.

That's how marketing and R&D works for everybody else works - feature lists, feature lists, feature lists and useless crapp - EXCEPT for Apple.

Apple designs for USABILITY. And that's why they sell the iPhone ALREADY.
And copy & paste might be a valid argument. But that's about all that is REALLY wrong on the iPhone. And I can live without. Really good.

Now let's start counting what's wrong with all other smartphones and the surrounding infrastructure - yes, that counts, too.
This will be our question for next week.
I'm expecting you to make the first entry right after my comment, because you all can't resist trolling me. ;)

Damn, what about WonderKid and TitaniumMan? Will we ever see them again?]]>Feb 3rd 2009 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 8:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/

The video playback looks smooth, but they are using Core Player, and there is no mention of the codec used (DivX?), or the resolution, framerate and bitrate of the encoding. I am presuming it is at native resolution, and if so then I am impressed.

The other pertinent unknowns are battery life and price of course. ]]>Feb 3rd 2009 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/Feb 3rd 2009 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-gui-video-playback-demoed-on-film/

so this year I may be adding this to the list of mobiles I will be choosing form.
Meizu M8, Asus Galaxy 7, HTC Touch HD (cant afford this one), or Toshiba TG01 (the UI is not for me)
