Hi all, if you try the following...
1. Click 'Device unlocked' on the Today screen so it changes to 'Device locked'
2. Turn device off / wait for it to go to sleep
3. Turn device on / wait for something to wake it up
...the device has unlocked itself, correct or is it just my Xda Mini S?
So how are we supposed to lock the device properly from accidentaly screen taps -- a problem I keep encountering?
Also, is there any way to add a timeout to the device lock, so if the screen isn't tapped for 5 mins, it automatically locks (assuming we actually make the lock feature work in the first place!).
My K-JAM used to do this all the time.
I never actually worked out the exact cause, i have a feeling it may have been caused by software i was testing when i 1st recieved the k-jam.
It stopped doing it altogether after a recent hard reset.
Sorry i wasnt more help.
Cheers
Chris
the device lock wasn't made with these systems in mind... it's intended for smartphone devices which don't have a 'suspend' state - let alone a button you can push to put it into, and bring it out of, that state.
If you want a free, proper locker, put the following in your today-screen-app-launcher of choice:
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14621
This'll 'lock' even the on/off button (immediately 'locks' again if you try to turn it back on, or shut it off (by holding down the on/off button - as you need to confirm by dialog)).
On the down side, it'll also turn your display off.
To unlock, on the Wizard, you need to press the Messaging (top-left, front side) button and the Voice Dial/Memo (top-right, side) button at the same time.
That lock/unlock feature on the Today screen is pretty crappy actually. I locked my keys religiously. And half the time, I would pull my phone out and it was on a webpage or on my email... and I never opened them.
I'm hoping they fix this...

Well it's ridiculous that O2 etc. keep the function enabled by default on the Today screen of their units, if the feature is for Smartphones only! But then, there's a lot of things O2 don't understand about the world but don't get me started on that.
Warning! Do not use Screenlock!
Warning: I think this program just killed my Wizard. Don't install unless you know the risks.

People, please don't recommend software on here that is not tried and tested on WM5.0.
On my Qtek 9100 it works. The only button that doesn't lock is the power button. Accidental tap of the power button will turn the screen on. You cannot even press and hold to power off when locked. When phone comes back on it stays locked.
I have been using this application for a while now - but I think the warning for installing sofware goes for all software. Who is to say that SPB doesn't install something that 'phones home'? Or that Mort Script doesn't cause irreperable harm to the registry stack when using its registry functions?
I've had no problems with it, but I guess I'll continue in your other thread.
I also can't just quickly tap the on/off button. Sure, it goes on - but it then immediately goes off again as well.
Thanks. What happens if the device crashes or you soft reset whilst the screen is locked? Does it reboot unlocked with the screen on? I wondered if mine had somehow locked completely, so the screen is off when it reboots ...but that wouldn't explain no LEDs working either :?
I don't know about crashes but, with some reluctance - admittedly, I tried the soft-reset (pin button at the right) while the screen [w]as locked...
...the device switched off, switched back on, booted up, and displayed my Personal Info screen.
So... no problem there, sorry :/
Well I have my replacement Mini S now. Any other programs than ScreenLock that do this? I'm sure I found once, but I can't find it any more :?
I couldnt get screenlock to work on the ppc6700, but mortsaver worked just fine, you might want to try that.
I'm perhaps misreading this, but the device locking seems to work ok for me on my XDA Mini S. Once I've locked the Mini S the only way I can use it again is to unlock it - if I touch the power button or let it go standby itself, when I touch the power button to wake it up, it remains locked. Also, if I hold down the power button for five seconds or more the Mini S will not give me the option to switch off entirely.

Hi John,
Do you have a Device Password setup? ( Start > Settings > Personal > Password > [x] Prompt if device unused for... )
I find that when
1. Device Password is enabled
2. you lock the device
3. you press the device on/off button (goes to standby)
4. you press the device on/off button again (goes back on), the device is unlocked.
When Device Password is disabled, and you then follow steps 2-4, the device remains locked
In my experience this is true [it sort of makes some sense you can't type in your password with the device/screen locked].
it would make sense if...
A. the password dialog would actually pop up (note that if you turn the device off/on manually, before the password prompt timeout, the password dialog does not show up)
and
B. they would first show the unlock screen and -then- the password prompt
The password prompt facility effectively overriding the unlock screen is just bad software design.
well put zeboxx... i wanted to say something in those lines but couldn't articulate them properly [ended up with a it sort of makes some sense jibe...]

Every time an event occur on my device, like incomming SMS or so, the screen is enabled and the button lock is turned off. I want the device to play the sound but not unlock the screen and hardware buttons.

something like this? not sure if it'll solve your prob but give it a go...
oops; silly me i forgot to include how the bloody thing works 8)
--------------------------
ScreenLock is a very small and handy tool to turn off a PPC's display, and lock all the hardware keys, including power button. It'll keep your PPC alive even without any program running. It'll help you to save battery power while streaming or downloading big files, or playing music.
To turn on the display and release the lock, just press on the left most hardware button (first button) and the right most hardware button (forth button) simultaneously. Only these two buttons are pressed down together can unlock your PPC.
I can't unlock the screen.....The left most hardwarebutton must be the Startmenu button... and the rightmost must be the OK button.....?

Answer ricmo2004 about u can't unlock
I can't remember all buttons but i know how to unlock it.
On top of your xda u can see 2 buttons right?
top right is one of unlock key.
And under your screen u'll see 4 buttons
It's the second fronm the left it should b messege i think.
Press these two together ...........
It'll unlock your phone
ok guys, it works this way:
think
in settings disable default "button lock"
to unlock use record+calendar hardware buttons pressed simultaneously.

... as it was not designed for pda phones, it doesnt lock green and red buttons. this is good and bad. good is that you can pick and hang up phonecalls. bad is, that you don't see who is calling, and when phone buttons are pressed, screen is flashing very funny way.
I've found the perfect application that locks my device! 1-pass from Omega One! It does exactly what I want

1-pass does not pass!
i've been looking for a similar app for ages so downloaded the trial of 1-pass.
After 15 minutes of trying to get it to work I've given up and uninstalled it. Problems I encountered were:-
1) tapping my soft key password did not unlock the machine, it just sat on the 1-pass security screen (there is no enter key to tap after entering the soft key password).
2) activesync claimed the password was incorrect and refused to connect.
I changed password several times, studied the help file and the support web pages but found nothing to help.
Maybe I was missing something, but if I have to spend more than 10 minutes and 3 resets to get something working on my xda II then its not worth keeping it in my opinion.

I'm not sure, but I think you don't have to enter the password. You can just assign the password to the button combination.
According to the help, to enable activesync to connect, you must enter the soft key password. Also I don't remember seeing the option of not assigning a soft key password in settings.

GREETINGS!
It is worth keeping in, if you get it right.
After first installation you get the screen like " Wecome to 1-pass....." wherein you had to feed the hard keys password. The next is "Retype hardware key Password.....", then comes the"Enter backup password", retype it and comes the screen "Thank You the password have been successfully changed. I think this can be done by going to >Start>settings>1-Pass, and then change password.
If the password is not accepted then, any of the two will let u enter the setting.
As far as active synch is concerned, it only accept your backup, softkey password.

Anyone have a solution for this? I have my Wizard go to standby after a short time and always make sure it is in standby when I put in in my case. However, when I receive a call and pull it out of the case, I almost always press one of the buttons. So when I answer the phone I have the camera going, contacts open or the connection manager open. I use all the buttons so I don't want to disable them completly. I wash there was a way to disable all buttons except the answer button for like 5 seconds after a call starts ringing. Or, be able to set buttons to not activate unless pressed for 2 seconds or so. Or, require 2 presses to activate. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Turn on the password (4 digit one is fine) and set to 0 minutes, the phone will "lock" as soon as you go into standby but when it rings you will be able to answer with the red/green buttons but nothing else until you put in your password.
Thanks, I will give that a try. I used a password before but it slowed things down so much that I removed it. I have done quite a bit of optimizing since then and will try it once more.
it does slow the use, and gets annoying (i still use it) but it does work until i find a decent app to do it. All it really needs is 2 touches or 2 buttons to unlock but not found anything yet... \
I have solved this with litle less work .I have Device lock Bar on the top, under date , so you need twice down and middle buton to lock the
device.
device lock doesn't seem to play well with the password application. if you have password activated you can do a device lock but when you put your device on standby and bring it to full power it is unlocked. if you use device lock without password it works.
any solution to lock keyboard during a call ? i always active some functions with my ears(...) when i speak
starseb - switch your phone to stand-by mode... the radio (phone part) should remain on, and you can continue calling. Then just switch it back on when done ( or not %) )
sorry for my english, but i make i make a mistake. i would say how to lock screen during a call.

Is there a good way to unlock by pressing just keys?
Try christoph's deltaLock map it to a hw button then set it to be unlocked by the same hw button.
Hi all,
I have decided to uninstall S2U2 and I don't want any other locking applications. However, is there is a way I can have the standard device lock activated with a short press of the power button?
Currently I am having to hold the 'End call' button until it locks, then turn the screen off with the power button.
Thanks
I have a pin setup and use the short press of the power button to put the phone into powersave 0 whixh then outs the phone into pin lock after a short while
If you push the hang off button for more than 10seconds, it will be locked
No...

I don't know about your device...
On my HD you can press the end button and count until 3, and the device is locked
I can't remember whether it's in HD Tweak or Advanced Config, but there's an option to automatically lock the keypad on screen turning off (both timed out or power button press I assume, but not tested) so you could try that?
Edit: instead of being lazy I actually looked it up - it's in HD Tweak, option 4.1; Lock -> AutoLock
Just tried it and it works, turn backlight off by short power press and it's locked a well as screen turning off!
Good tip: works for me!
By the way: you can configure what happens when you pres the "disconnect" button too.
Guys
Thanks for this thread. I am very confused when it comes to locking the phone. Can anyone tell me...
Does the built in device lock work well? Will it keep the phone locked when a call comes in ?
If so, then why do people use S2U2 or other third party apps? Also some people say that S2U2 drains the battery. Is this true? How does it drain the battery?
The HD tweak had the disadvantage that when the screen turns in 'shaded' state the device is also locked.
Then when unlocking the device the screen stays 'shaded'.

Maybe it takes you 10 seconds to count to 3.
I've finally got there with locking my HD... I had a S710 before the HD, and I liked the fact that on that I could hold down the "end call" button, and that it would lock the phone and turn the backlight off. The screen would then turn off completely after whatever time I had entered (2 mins I think). And on unlocking the device the backlight would turn on.
On my HD I have now disabled the device password, but enabled my PIN request, so that it secures the phone if it has been turned off completely. This means that I can now hold down the "end call" button for 3 seconds or so and it locks the device (requiring a 2-tap process to unlock, like the S710). I have also used the standard windows mobile settings (power) to have the backlight automatically turnoff after 30 seconds, and have used HD Tweak (setting 4.1) to autolock the device when the backlight turnsoff. The only problem is that when AutoLock happens using HDTweak, when I unlock it the backlight fails to turn back on, even once I have started using the screen. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Just to confirm my above question regarding this specific feature of HD Tweak... I have got this working on my HD now too, but when it autolocks, and I unlock it, the backlight doesn't turn back on, and the only way to make it turn back on is to hardbutton off and on the device (not power-off, just press the button the top of the phone and press it again).
This is stopping me from using the HD Tweak autolock now, which is annoying because it does precisely what I need! Can anyone offer any advice?
I've just realised that it actually says within HD Tweak itself (on 4.1 option selector) that this is a known issue... any idea on if and when it will get fixed?
How about using Gyrator to lock the device? I have set it to lock the device and switch off the screen on inserting the stylus. Also, I have it set to unlock and switch the PDA on when the stylus in removed.
Simple. Works for me, anyway!

Hi,
Is this similar to an application my friend had on his iphone. Basically, when he needs to use the phone, he needs to put in a pin to unlock. I think the Nokia E61 has a similar feature.

Mhh, I also think it's very annoying. I first used the auto lock feature by setting
HKey_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/BackLight/AutoDeviceLockEnable = 1, but I also have the backlight-issue, which is really annoying.
I also installed S2U2, but after installing that program the battery-life was inacceptable. By now I'm using the manual method, pressing hang-up for 3 seconds. It works, but I often forget it, and it then happens easily that I press the hard-button which awakes the phone from standby and I make pocket-calls.
The auto-lock feature is also exactly the thing I need, except the fact that I get the backlight issue then. Does anybody know how to fix the backlight issue? Maybe by editing another key in the registry?
Regards,
Tobi
As I said in the hint topic, in order to lock my device I just press the power off button (this activate the stand by), simple and fast
I use S2U2 at first, but it drains power too much, so I uninstall it after 2 days.
Then I use your method - hold the end call button to lock the device.
Now, I change the right softkey to invoke a small application that will turn off the machine (just like press power button). When I take out the stylus, the machine will on again.
Thus, I don't need to press any button, and I feel it is better......personally.......

Hi,
Phone Lock on my HD2 is set to ask for password if phone is unused for 15 minutes. But my HD2 ask for Phone Lock password each time the screen goes off. Is it possible to change this behavior?
I have the same problem. The phone lock is set to 24 hours, but if the dispaly goes off and i power it on the hd ask for the phone lock password, too.
Can someone help?
Usually if I don't want the phone to lock, I just set the screen not to turn off at all. Under settings, display etc.
HI,
i want, that the screen is locked but only with the slider. At the moment i slide to unlick and then i have to enter the phone lock passwort. But this password should only appear if i restart my HD2 (for this reason i set the phone lock password option to 24 hours).
with my "old" HD this works great.

Strange, does this fix work for everyone else?
After I installed it, once I press the power button to shut the screen off, when I press any of the hardware buttons, it dumps me to the screen that I was on, but no longer asking me to swipe. I guess I'm looking for the fix so that the below behavior happens:
1) If I press any of the buttons before my "timeout" happens, phone should ask me to swipe my finger to "unlock" the screen.
2) If I press any of the button after the "timeout", then phone should ask me to swipe but then also ask me to punch in a PIN or complex passwd, depending on the setting.
Are there any registry hacks that can do what I described? or does it do exactly that and it's my particular phone that isn't working?
thanks!

Having been interested in exactly the same thing, it seems like this cannot be done at present. The lock is either there with a password or not there at all. My current compromise is to set a one digit pin, but that's a bit pointless really.
The slider can be added with S2U2 but this seems to defeat the object somewhat...
I have the same problem. I'd like to be able to lock the device (or at least to turn off the screen) without typing the password at each unlock. I set it to 24 hours.
The patch should be fine as temporary solution
Password lockout problem solved
Great,
this has solved my problem that intermittently and usually overnight I get 'incorrect password message' when I try to unlock, only solved by a soft reset which is rather worrying.
I don't want to have autolock, especially every time I switch on and off like you all.
This little add on allows manual lock (by setting widget on screen with SPB mobile shell), and I have set default to 12 hrs for password screen.
Many thanks

Ha! Think that's worrying? ...You're right.
I had this a few times in the past and each time was able to solve it by a soft reset.
Not the last time, though. After trying numerous soft-resets, I finally saw no other way out than to hard-reset my device. In the end, it didn't even display the "incorrect password" dialog anymore. I suspect I had entered an "incorrect" password too many times, but the device did not manage to present me with the "enter a1b2c3" prompt that it usually does when that happens.
Very, very frustrating. Some quick googling gives a few reports of this happening to other people, not just on HTC handsets either. Not too many though, so it sounds like it's pretty rare.
(For the record, running 1.48 WWE here, had a 7-digit simple PIN set as the device lock password, with Windows Default display)
i have the same problem it asks for password every time i unlock the phone and the bad thing is that sometimes even correct password doesnt seem to work so that i have to soft reset or wait for half an hour b4 trying the password again , just confused about it . australia
i took out my password for now. i have to reset once in 2 days now to unlock phone. i wont be able to make a call in case of an emergency so better option take it out.

Is there any fix for this problem yet?
with S2U2 you can set up a password config. (require password every: 5mins/15mins/1hr/ 4hrs or 12 hrs) S2U2 seems to eat my battery up though, thats the downside. also you have to download the "disable autolock" cab for it to work from the tweaks an mods sticky in themes/ apps forum. its a shame about the battery drain as this app is awesome but definately worth a look.
sorry heres linkhttp://s2u2.ac-s2.com/
Same problem and no answer until now ?
I also have the problem that I cannot configure my HTC HD2 that the screenlock works without PIN. I like to start the secure lock only after a certain time i.E, but there is only the way everytime with PIN or at anytime with PIN.
Sometimes mostly overnight the device "forgets" the correct PIN and I have to make a softreset. After done this , I can enter the oriinal PIN.
Is there no solution until now ?
Is there any idea what to do.
Read tip 27 of the Sticky Tips and Tricks - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638 - then the PIN will only be required after the timeout, not every time you lock the screen.
The bit where it doesn't accept the password is a known bug reported elsewhere, but there's no fix yet; I wish there was, because I get it occasionally.

Until the buggers push it out again and you get fed up of having to set a PIN then edit the registry every day
Incidentally, is there a way to lock the screen without a PIN after a set period of time? All I can find is either a manual lock or a lock with a PIN.

I made these exact reg edits (my very first registry edit!) and it's made no difference at all, my HD2 still asks for pin every time I switch off & on.
I want to keep the slide lock to prevent accidental button presses when device is in my pocket, but the pin input is a pain my previous device only asked for it once every 24 hours or after powering up the phone. Has anyone solved this yet?
Should I change the registry back to pre-edited?
Disable hardware buttons
I realized one thing that is draining my battery is the accidental press on hardware buttons when my hD2 is in my pocket. Is there a way to disable the hardware buttons other than the end/power button when the screen is turned off ? It is silly that the press of any hardware button turn on the screen ...
If I press the right-hand button to put my HD2 in "suspend" (i.e. still on and able to receive calls but with the screen off and saving power) then it always insists on being "unlocked" as soon as I turn it back on. This was originally only mildly annoying - just required me to slide the slider - but since I've connected to my office Exchange server it now also inists on me entering a 4-digit PIN whenever the phone is unlocked. So now, just to bring the phone out of sleep mode I have to press the power button, slide the slider, then enter a 4 digit pin and press the "unlock" key. This is driving me up the wall! Is there any way to get the phone to be already unlocked when it comes out of sleep mode?
I'm using the T-Mobile version of the HD2, unflashed, if that makes a difference.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sounds more like an Exchange issue to me....
I do know that connecting to an exchange server can force the phone to ask for a PIN, which is fair enough really. What happens if you use BsB Tweaks and turn off the Auto Lock now? I'm guessing that it will still ask for a pin, but you won't need to slide to unlock.

Now it should only ask for the PIN after the timeout period, not every time.
Try looking at my reply on the following thread. Works great for me
