well i think this would be an odd topic with all the unlocking talk going around...but this is exactly what i want to know...
how do i lock my imate jam i mean how many locks could be put on the phone and the pda itself...powerfull locks so no one would be breaking those except for u guys xda-developers.com
is there a way to bootlock it like the one a PC has? you could just put a password for booting
and how does the sim lock work? i tried the option given in my phone which says "Require PIN when phone is used", but that is just for MY sim and it wont lock the whole thing. so basically what i want is a lock that would not allow any other sim to work in my phone.
thanks
hi...
simply...go to settings/personal tab/password,and lock it :wink:
it's too strong that it will prompt password after each soft reset,and if u put 0 minutes near "prompt if device unused for",will prompt password each time u turn on ur phone(after standby).....
it cannot be hacked....without....HARD RESET...
so i guess,ur looking for something stronger.. :wink: ,or u think it's enought???
RAGO :lol:
stronger one
well that is i think the weakest one i mean it just needs a hard reset im certainly looking for something stronger
I've installed the new ROM - so far mostly positive.
There is one thing driving me mad (no not the time on the today screen )
I leave the Jasjar switched on and connected / charging via USB. It stays on OK but keeps going back to the password screen.
What I want is to enter the password when ever it switches on. If the device stays on then I don't want to have to enter a password.
Anyone got any ideas???
do you have push mail setup?? if so it could be exchange policy enforcing it.

More information...
The problem is with the device password - NOT the SIM password which works as expected.
Under...
Settings -> Lock
I have ticked "Prompt if device is unused for" and set the time to 0 minutes.
In the previous ROM this meant that when-ever the device is switched off / on it would prompt for the password. However if the device stays on, for example when it's connected to external power then it just stays on - the password screen never appears.
In the new ROM after 1 minute without being used it reverts to the password screen. If you change the "Prompt if device is unused for" time as above then you can make this longer but then you lose the benefit of the switch-on password for this ammount of time.
What I want...
If you turn the device off it prompts for password when you turn it back on.
If the device stays on it never prompts for a password.
I suspect this is a side effect of the new security features that allow IT administrators to set a password timeout. They probably wouldn't want the user bypassing this by leaving the device on. However they have chosen what to me is a strange behavior for "0 minutes" with a timeout of 1 minute when the device is on.

even without push email ... once your administrator decides to install Exchange SP2 the e-mail sync won't work without password setup unless he manaully disable it (the default is simple PIN and time is 5 minutes).
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
It's driving me nuts so I've had to turn the password feature off, but I'd really like to be able to turn it back on.
Thanks guys.
Hello everybody,
still no solution for this password problem.
I'm having the same problem since upgrading the rom on the tek 9000.
Even if you are using the TOM TOM the pda after about a minute it reverts back to the password screen.
Anybody??????????????????????

yes, with tomtom it makes very hard to keep writing the password when you are driving.. There must be a solution!!
Hello everybody,
looks like nobody has find a solution to this problem yet.
Lets try to keep this thread open to see if anybody while come up with an idea.
Have a Good Easter everyone.

Not a complete fix but you could set the timeout to something like an hour.
I've got the password set on mine and don't find it too intruative with a decent timeout set.
I'd guess that it doesn't activate with certain apps as I've not noticed it locking with TCPMP though I may just end up pausing it before the timeout occurs and resetting the countdown.
Ok, after being extremely peeved about this bug I just found a solution that works fine, at least on my Universal:
http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=221
This official M$ password utility from the stone age of Pocket PCs works as it should. (Just remember to turn off the WM5-password lock before turning on the old password utility.)
Hello every1
after a lot of searching for the past month after I did the Rom upgrade on my Qtek 9000 I've find the solution to stop the Password screen to appear when you are using TOM TOM Navigator 5.
Go to this URL and you well find the instraction on how to do it.
http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=51293
Hope this well be helpful to someone.
I've been using it for a month now and it works fine.
Ciao

That fix is too complicated for me.
Anyone else got a simpler solution?
This password reset is driving me nuts too!
If Windows Mobile 5 is supposed to be more secure, this just makes me want to turn the password option off - making it less secure!!
NEW ROM - £$%$^ Password screen keeps appearing
I have a fix! (I think)
1. Get a registry editor (I used minied of sourecforge.net, because its opensource, but there are many others available)
2. Go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}
- The value called AEFrequencyType will be 1. Change it to 2.
- Ensure the value called AEFrequencyValue is 0
Exit the editor and reset the device.
From now the device should only lock to the password screen when the power shuts off, as per pre-AUK2 behaviour.
Note that if you go in to the lock settings screen, it will try to change the AEFrequencyType value back to 1. Also, this will *not* work if you have an Exchange 2003 enforced policy for this setting active. The policy will overwrite it.
Mine says ASFrequencyType\0 (0x0)
Is this what I edit?
When I click to edit, I have options of 'New DWORD' or 'New String'
Not sure what to do now.
Any idea please?
Which registry editor are you using? It sounds like when you're clicking, it's trying to create a new value, possibly the default value for the key, rather than edit the existing AEFrequencyType value. Most registry editors have a tree structure of the keys in the left hand or upper pane, and the list of values in the right or lower pane. Make sure you have the value highlighted in the right or lower pane before you click edit.
First though, my apologies, one step I missed: Before you do the registry edit part, make sure you have set a password and set the device to prompt if device unused for 0 minutes in Settings -> Lock.
Lastly, can you clarify - is the ASFrequencyType or AEFrequencyType you've got in your registry?
hey "Mutant"....I just tried your method by changing the registry AEFrequencyType from 1 to 2, and it seems to be working fine, thanks a lot. Have you up to now, found any other problems?
is there a password software for BA wm6.5???
some members here said passwords are bugs in cooked roms and therefore do not work properly...
looking forward for replies...
thanks...
Yes the password has bugs in it in wm6.5, so it may work for a while, but eventually you will be unable to unlock your phone. I used organic lock for a while, but stopped once my BA stopped being my PDA and just became my phone.
i know password doesn't work...well, they worked once but i have to hard reset my BA to be unlocked...
so, any password software won't work on wm6.5?
I think password software will work, as long as it is not the built in one.
i think so too...
does anyone know a not built-in password software?
hi,
you can try using S2U2 made by a_c. basically, it is a program that show you an iphone lock screen on your WM device, it comes with a password locked features, so you just configure it to enable locking once your device is being turned on
hope that helps you. fyi, I'm using it right now and so far its good and stable
Hi All
I have a Touch Pro 2 brended T-Mobile. I tried many version of ROM, but the autolock never work when I turn it on. I can lock it only by software pressing "lock" in the start menu. I must always install S2U2 to lock the device, but it give me some problem with GPS softwares. Somebody know if there is a Cab to fix this problem?
Thanks
For the GPS issues, I would recommend adding whatever program you're using (such as Google Maps or Waze) to S2U2's Exceptions list
Otherwise, try downloading LockDevice or a similar auto-locker.
Hallo Guys,
my Name is Veit and im from Germany, so please dont hang me up if my english is incorrect.
Ive bought a HTC Desire and i know an App called "Best Profiles" from my Nokia-Symbian-Phone and now i want to get something else on my Desire.
Best Profiles could switch my Nokia during the night into a "Offline-Profile" where Networking and WLAN is disabled so save Battery. In the morning it automatically switch back to a "Online-Profile" WITHOUT entry of the PIN.
I found some apps that could switch between several Profiles by time-schedule but always the PIN needs to be re-entered.
Is there a way to get it like on the Symbian-Phone ???
Will it be possible with a other App or with a Custom-ROM ?? My Desire is already rooted and my current ROM is the Offficial Untouched Froyo 2.2 from the Forums here !!
Hoping for future answers and a big THX for the guys who do the hard work here !!!
Have you looked at JuiceDefender on the market?
Can do all you want and more
It's free for controlling the mobile internet but you will need to buy UltimateJuice if you want to be able to control WiFi etc.
Hey, thats a good question. I didnt know that app before now.
So if i install / buy that app i should set the phone into Flight-Profile ( Disconnect from Network, shut down WiFi, shutdown Bluetooth ) and reverse all those settings after sleeping without retyping my PIN ???
Hello,
its me again. Ive tried 3 different Apps but everytime the same situation:
I have to re-enter my PIN after reconnect to the Network !!
Any suggestions ????
I don't think you will get an app to do exactly what you want.
When the desire is in flight mode it turns the radio off, turning the radio back on requires the pin entry.
Ultimate juice can turn off wifi, apn's etc, but would leave the radio on so it's not ideal for you.
Other than turning the pin prompt off, I can't see an easy solution for you.
S..t,
OK if its the only way i will switch off my PINcheck and will secure my Phone with the Unlock-Figure.
Maybe in the future some of the ROM-Kookers could switch of the PIN-Reentry procedure after switch off the Flight-profile.
Regards
Veit

Good idea! It might be worth asking for this feature in a specific rom thread so you can be sure the dev knows about it?
