Productivity power and customizing system keys
| Telephony

Complete keys customization
With PowerDay Pro you can customize all device keys (if you want to). PowerDay automatically determines your device and determines what keys are available. Moreover, with each key you can have multiple actions. One for standard key press, second when the key is held (for 1 sec) and third when you are in Flip Closed mode (if your device supports it). With each key you can have the following actions: - Don't handle - [default] if selected then PowerDay won't intercept this key, and when you press this key a default system action will be performed.
- Handle but do nothing - PowerDay intercepts the key, but no action is performed when you press this key.
- Reject/End call - see [Telephony].
- Answer phone call - see [Telephony].
- Answer/End call - see [Telephony].
- New/Answer/End call - see [Telephony].

- Lock/Unlock keys - if you want to use 'Lock screen PowerDay feature' you have to define a locking key. When you press this key, all input will be locked till you press the same key twice. Note: it's possible to set up this action on 'Held' press as well, in this case to lock input you need to perform held press on this key, but to unlock it's enough to press this key twice fast (without holding).
- Show connections menu - shows connections menu. Allows to manage Bluetooth, Infrared and cable connections.
- Today view/Today - double action on a key. First it pops up PowerDay (if needed) and opens the page with today view automatically. If this page is already opened then by pressing this key current date-time will be selected as today (used in summary, day, week and month views).
- Today view/Cycle view - double action on a key. First it pops up PowerDay (if needed) and opens the page with today view automatically. If this page is already opened then by pressing this key today view will be cycled (e.g. from Day view to week view, to month view, to tasks view, etc).
Note1: all productivity operations are optimized for fast one-hand use (without stylus). But of course if you prefer to use a stylus it won't be a problem as well.
Note2: all productivity operations work not only when PowerDay is in foreground. E.g. you can pop up task list any time, when speaking, looking your photos, browsing internet or playing a game, etc.
Note: PowerDay's keys customization is not compatible with other 3rd party key mappers. If some other application will intercept a key after PowerDay then PowerDay's action assigned to this key won't be performed while the application is running or holding the key. If you want to set up some other application to handle some key all the time then simply set 'Don't handle' for this key in PowerDay and PowerDay won't touch and intercept this key at all.
Note: (for SE P900/P910 owners) If you use built-in system lock function then you have to leave one of Jog dial press down or Jog dial press up in PowerDay to 'Don't handle'. Otherwise to unlock the phone you'll have to close flip or restart your device.
Screen lock feature
Screen lock feature can be highly used when flip removed (on SE P800 phones). When locked (by specified timeout of inactivity or with defined key press) special icon will be displayed on PowerDay's screen. All keys and pointer events are blocked until it's unlocked. You can unlock it by double pressing the defined key. (Press defined key twice faster than 1 sec). When you close the flip it becomes unlocked automatically. Device lock works with PDA part only (flip open or removed state). When flip is closed then the phone part works and it has its own lock and auto lock features.
Note: PowerDay's Pro Screen lock feature is not designed to use with built-in system lock (on P900/P910 phones)! You have to use only one screen lock function at one time.
