    Hi buddies,
    In spite of locking the screen, it still comes to life to inform that the screen is locked, if the screen is accidentally pressed. Is there a way to prevent the screen from lighting up (besides stopping the annoying beeps!!) (and stop draining battery) when in holster or pocket? I want the screen to get active only after pressing the unlock button on top.

    In holster it should always remain asleep unless you physically remove it from the holster.

    You can try belt clips with magnets.

    You can try leather sleeves with magnets.

    I use the leather pouch myself (again, with magnet) on a belt clip. Pressing any of the buttons or the screen while in the pouch still doesn't activate the phone.

    I'm not saying it gets activated, what I mean is, it glows everytime the screen is clicked accidentally and keeps beeping. I'm seeing if there is a way to put it to sleep (full black screen) and not "wake-up" on touch until the "unlock" key is pushed.
    Note that none of the belt clips are "female-friendly". I carry the phone in pocket at present.

    When holstered (ie magnets shut screen off) the screen will NOT turn on even when pushed

    I know, pressing in the pouch still should prevent the screen from glowing.

    If you are talking about the phone barenekkid with no holster/pouch, then I'd have to say I'm not sure. I believe it was an option to enter sleep mode with past blackberries. Not sure why they did away with this useful feature.
