Guys - the only way I can bring my 8525 out of STANDY is with the power button. My "KeyLock" is set to "Lock buttons if device is locked" but its NOT locked yet, just in standby. The only button that can get it to wake up is a quick-push of the Power-Button.
I remember an app being on Black 2.5 that said you could push ANY button to wake it up OR another option of only the Power Button, but I can't find that on Black 3.01. I think it was under the "Personal" menu list.
I'd like to wake it up with the green-phone button or with ANY button, but that doesn't happen. Am I missing something - how are you waking up yours?
Thanks.
Did you try Settings>System>Key Lock?
Select the "don't lock any buttons"

Maybe the button assignments are set to <None>. Check Start>Settings>Buttons
Running Black 3.0, my device can be woken using any button when set to the setting you describe (as per normal behaviour). Sorry, doesn't help much I know, perhaps its a 3.01 thing.
And mine cant. so strange!

Thanks - Yes, I have it set to "lock buttons if device is locked," so I would think that would mean any button could turn it on, if its not locked, but thats NOT the way mine is working. I ALWAYS have to hit the powerbutton to wake it up. I'll keep looking, but I'm sure there was a 2nd small app that had something to do with this, but its just not in 3.01. Thanks again.

Hi,
In general I am very happy with my new TP2, however, I keep forgetting to press the lock button (hold down the call end buttoun until it vibrates) prior to pussing the power button and putting it in the case.
Does anyone know of a way of adding this function to the power button, so that it automatically locks?

If you use S2U2 you get this functionality, I don't know how to do it with normal screen lock.
Dave
Or if you use Throttle Lock you can use a pattern to unlock your device, and you can set it up that when you push the powerbutton it gets locked with the pattern, or that when you push the powerbutton it will wait a x given minutes and then your device get's locked with a pattern.
I don't know how to do it with normal screen lock.
i have this on mine dont know how i got it take it came with some app i have installed
Anyone know how to fix this so that the phone's standard lock autolocks? Tried throttle etc but I still really like the simplicity of the normal phonelock, just need to get it to do it by itself.
Homescreen plusplus (Batterystatus) has this option. You can select lock on standby, it uses normal wm lock app. Used it on my Wizard, not sure if it's compatible with the TP2...

Use TouchLockPro as locking utility. Automatically locks at power on and unlocks by light sensor. And you can configure a key unlock sequence. And with a slide to answer solution, you can only lock the hardware keys at incoming call.
if you simply press the power button that switches off the screen and locks all buttons.
uilt-in WM feature.
If you set a password it also automatically locks it
how do you enable ALL BUTTONS UNLOCK ?
in older devices there was an option somewhere in the keys section, now only the power button turns the phone on,. i want all the keys to turn it on, since i use the s2u2...
thanx

When not removed from ROM you will find it as \Windows\keylock.exe

I am still looking for auto lock at suspend. I don't want to install a program bringing with it 100.000 functions.
I dont see the point in adding extra features to a lock screen. its there to keep the screen locked and thats it lol
Anyways, try 'lock device GUI'
It just adds the function to lock the device when the power button is pushed (Sleep).
Keeps the old lock screen, only adds function
Yea check out LockDevice. I use it and it works great..

DeviceLock.cab Works As Well...
I had similar issue. So I installed "DeviceLock.cab" and added it as a Quick Link on HCT Sense 2.5 Homescreen. Now I just have to click on the link to lock the device. Once the screen if off the keys don't matter.
Also used "Lock Screen With Bottom Slider" for easy access.
I can't post links, but if you search for quote phrase, you should be able to find a download.
Hope that helps.
Try smartlock. Works perfect! Just install the cab, then it can be found in: Start/Settings/System

how do i enable slide 2 lock on the phone when it's power off or back light goes off? it seems the only way to get slide 2 lock is to hit start then tap lock....
I think this is what you are looking for. Its what i use and works perfect! my screen locks when my backloight goes out or i hit my power button to turn it back on.
http://thewingster.com/autolockscreen.aspx
Also Got it from this thread in the software forum. Good place to look for good apps and utilities for the TP2
There are also a couple other auto lock screens here too but the link above is what i use.

Its in the start --> settings --> system area of the phone and its called smart lock. To autolock when backlight goes off check the suspend lock box
do you know if there's a way to lock when pressing the power button slightly?
thats what it does the hit the power button to turn the backlight off and when you turn it back on it will be locked
i just soft reset and now it hangs on the windows screen and won't boot. not sure what to do.

This program WAS working great for me earlier this evening, and I was happy with it.
But it randomly stops working (I'll hit the power button and then hit it again, and it won't have locked the device).
>_> Any thoughts / solutions?

You can also manually lock (with WM6.5) by pressing and holding the end/home key, unless you've assigned it to something else (see Settings --> Personal --> Buttons). Additionally under Settings --> Lock you can check the "Prompt if phone unused for" box and set a time (i.e. the same time as you set the backlight off), but you then do have to enter a PIN or password of your choice, I believe (which I do anyway for security).
I tried various apps such as S2U2, but found them excessively battery heavy or buggy, although Touchlock pro had loads of settings (including using stylus, keyboard, g-sensor etc.) which I possibly didn't configure right!
thanks for the feedback, i do notice sometimes this does not work...i've switched to s2u2 to see how it goes.
Back in WinMo days I was so happy that i could disable lock screen because I find it very annoying, I really don't need it.
So I was wondering is it possible that when I press power on button that it automatically goes to home screen without need to unlock it first?
I have found few mods for that, but whatever mod(or app) I applied it would also enable power on by trackball or any other hw key(menu, home..) what I don't want since I can accidently press those keys in pocket and than my battery will drain usless!
I have found the mod I need, but it is for EVO 4G, maybe it needs little modification so that it can be applied to our Desire?
on some ROM's you get the optionj where you unlock via power button.. and for the lock screen you can just use Menu button.. I use it.. and very easy, better than the vanilla lock screen
hope this helps!
try searching for No Lock in the market. works dandy for me.
yea same, go with no lock, also has a handy widget

There is an option in the widget locker settings that allows you to disable this.
Open WidgetLocker, hit the menu key and scroll through the settings. you should see it

HI guys,
My power button is not functioning right, so I want to disable it. I thought that there is a file for the power button mapping in system/usr/keylayout from other device thread, but i can't find power button related file. only soft buttons.
Can someone please help?
Thanks.

I partially solve it. It's only disabled when the OS is booted up, so when the phone is off, I can still use the power button. The file I edited is Generic or something in System/usr/keylayout
But another problem is that long press (10+ sec) reboot is still not disabled so sticking power button issue was still annoying me.
However, I kind of got the power button fixed now after keep hitting the power button a lot hard. But I have a feeling it's gonna be back again soon..
Oh btw, CM12 has screen on with volume button feature and double tap notification bar for screen off. So No problem there.

And Cm12 has home button to wake. Only problem can be it wakes up in your pocket sometimes. If your problem is solved, please add "[SOLVED]" to the beginning of the thread title.
