App that locks Touchscreen and Buttons

Hi,

I've got a little problem. I don't have a case for my X5 yet and when I listen to mp3s and put the Ax in my pocket, the Touchscreen often reacts / a button gets pressed and the music stops :( Has anyone an idea how to fix this? A tiny little utility which locks the screen and the keys when I press a button combination or something?

Hope, one of you can help,
Flo

This will solve most of the problem. In windows media player configuration, there's an option to set what each button does when you have media player as the active application. Tools>Settings>Buttons.

One of these options is to turn off the screen "screen toggle", solving that problem. You'll then want to assign the rest of the buttons to "full screen toggle." What this does is nullify those buttons. When the screen is off, the full screen toggles will do nothing. The have basically been locked.

That way, as long as media plyer is the active application , only one button works, and that one turns the screen off. This has the added bonus of saving battery life, because the screen doesn't need to be on when the music's playing.

I'm sure there's an app that does this much more gracefully, but I don't know what it is.
