I'm creating a Bluetooth application using the (Java JSR-82) with the objective of constantly send/receive data with another Bluetooth device. Currently with my application if the BlackBerry is left unattended the screen goes black and I assume goes into sleep mode. The problem with this is that it does not allow me to send/receive Bluetooth data to my other device anymore.
Is there a way to prevent the BlackBerry from going into sleep mode? I've read elsewhere that I could use the BB API to keep the screen on, but that requires a signed application. Does anyone have any solutions for me? Thanks!
Seems like that would work, but The EventInjector requires the application to be signed, I'm looking for a solution that does not require this. So far I'm not sure if this is going to be possible. Thanks for your suggestion though.
Signing keys cost just 20 USD for unlimited signatures for unlimited qty of applications.
In case you intend to make an application that is a bit more complex than helloworld you will need to use classes which use signed API and will need to sign the cod file.

After signing you will also have the challenge of requesting that the user set the event injector permissions to allow. By default on many distributions this is set to deny. Not really a huge deal, but "Input Simulation" is a scary term for users.
Another thing to add, do you think it is possible to turn the screen off and still prevent it from going to sleep. I need a solution to maximize the battery life.
