Pretty please?

not sure what you mean by standby mode, but if you don't wanna be notified of an incoming text go to profiles and select none for sms.

[phrostbyte]

How do you not know what standby mode is? It's the button on the top you have to hold to stop the keyboard from activating in your pocket.

[PRB7763]

Gee, I was just trying to help. But if you wanna go that route...

How do you not know how to turn off text notification?!?!?

[phrostbyte]

I don't want to turn it off I just don't want texts to knock me out of standby mode. I still want a vibration when I get texts.

[AraiRider77]

How about using the keyboard lock instead of standby?

[Motorcycle Mama]

Sorry, you can't change that. You might need to use the keyboard lock if this is causing you problems.

[phrostbyte]

Darn! I don't like keyboard lock.. anyway thanks for the help. If anyone has any other ideas, please post!

Incoming calls or sms/mms notifications bring the BB out of standby mode. You'll have to press & hold mute again to re-enter standby mode again. As suggested, use keylock.

Do you use a program to light up the screen with text messages? I have autostandby but have taken off my SMS Display on, so it doesnt wake up, just alerts me...

[phrostbyte]

Yea, I use BBLight. What's auto-standby?

[rachel0179]

if you take off BBlight, then it will not wake up during a text.

Autostandy - a 3rd party app that automacially puts my phone to sleep if i forget too after my own predetermined time once the screen blanks, its great.. so this might be another option - if you like it lighting up, then autostandy will put it back to sleep, other than that.. BBLight is whats making it come out of sleep mode.

[phrostbyte]

*rubs chin*

That.... makes a lot of sense. Now the question is, is it worth the light-up on text to be knocked out of standby mode?

[rachel0179]

BBlight is free, take it off for a bit, see how you like it, or disable, then see which way you prefer best.

[phrostbyte]

Well, the only BBLight functions I have activated are:
-on external power
-on text

I guess I'll just turn off on text.

[rachel0179]

Yeh, well, thats whats making it come out

soooooo, there ya go.

[mreschkebb0626]

I've never had my 8330 come out of StandBy for texts, MMS, e-mail or any other notification. Phone calls yes, messages no. And I don't have any 3rd party apps like BBLight installed.

Rachel,

How is Autostandy different from just pressing & holding the mute button?

[rachel0179]

It does it for you and if you forget.. it will put itself to sleep

[Stevec325]

Oh - OK... I thought it might be doing something differently than from just activating standby automatically. Pretty cool
