Question

I keep my Visor in a wallet case that is fairly tight. Throughout the day the buttons are being hit or squeezed and my Visor turns on and stays on - probably from constant pressure on the buttons or frequent taps. My battery life is suffering because of this. How can I either turn these buttons off until the power button is hit or keep my Visor from staying on? Ideas? Software? I've already tried a password program but it didn't do the trick. I have auto power off set to 2 minutes.
Thanks for your help!

Exclamation

AndyW:
Try StayOffHack. It causes your Visor to shut off immediately after it was turned on by pressing one of the hardware buttons.
It is shareware, $ 5.
You can find it at palmgear.com: http://www.palmgear.com/software/sh...amp;prodID=3043

Hope this helps,

Tried the crummy hard cover that came with the unit?

Cool

mc9-
Thanks for the info! I actually looked on Palm Gear for this type of software but couldn't find it. I'm giving the software a try right now.
The crummy hard cover doesn't fit well in my wallet and is quite hard to take on and off.

Thanks again for your help!
