    Hello,

    I am a new Blackberry user (just got my elegant Blackberry Passport 2 days ago). Wonder if there is any way or app to turn off screen without hitting the power button or without having to wait for the screen off time take effect? Appreciate if anyone could advise. Many many thanks Crackberry !

    I generally just place it face down on a flat surface. This engages power saving mode and when I pick the phone up it wakes the screen up. Easy!

    Besides this, is there any other solution? Thanks!

    On PassportSQW100-1/10.3.1.1154 I use the stay awake advanced interaction + 10 second screen timeout.

    With the stay awake feature, I wouldn't mind a 5 second timeout

    What inefficient are you trying to overcome? Not sure I understand your need.

    I wish BBOS10 had the icon that you could tap and lock the screen. I remember the older BlackBerry phones having this option, or the lock symbol on the keyboard. But the top button works just as well.

    Yes, something like an onscreen button.

    Yeah, it doesn't exist right now, and it sucks because I really want it as well.

    If we can unlock the device without the power button, would be nice to be able to lock it as well.

    With upcoming OS, you can assign a key to lock the devise just like BBOS if you're using keyboard device.

    As for turning screen off without pressing power button, not sure what you can do about it. I have flip case. So I just close my flip to turn the screen off.
