Hello ...
I have strange sitiuation. even when my device is locked but on if i accidentally press any key the backlight keeps turning on! for exemple if i get a message i dont read right i way or if miss a cal while in the trinity is my pocket ....even with the device locked while i walk it sometimes presses some key by acident the device can stay on for hours draining battery
is there a way to really lock keys and the only way to used them is either unlock using the touch screen or if some special event happends like phone call o something but re-lock the keys after this events end?
its a bit complicated i know.... lol by the way im using the latest bepe wm6 rom....
All the best,
OliveiraJMR
Auto lock...
Is it possible to have the device lock after a given period of inactivity like nokia phones and so on can.
I use the program "Device lock" to lock the device. I can but it on the today screen, assign it to a button, but how to autolock the device?

hi guys,
i'm looking for a program for my sx66 that will allow me to lock the hardware keys and screen when i place it in it's holster. i have tried screenlock 1.2 and mortsaver but they don't seem to work.
anyone know of any programs that do this?
thanks!
try settings ->system ->button lock
it is already build into windows
Isn't that designed for only when the phone is turned off? I'd like to keep the phone on and lock the keys.
The phone will keep functioning with keylock on just lock the keys and give yourself a call from another phone , you'll see it works
Doh! Why didn't I think of that?
You are referring to toggling the keylock on from within the programs, not pressing the power button (which I assume does power the unit off), correct?
Thanks.
The power button does not power off the unit, it just turns off the screen or if you hold it for a few seconds, it turns off the backlight.
you may try Start->Settings->Personal->Password along with Button Lock in the System Settings. This will have your keys completly locked.
Thanks guys. That will do what I need.
I think that mortsaver is sort of a work in progress. There is a beta that works way better, but the only place I've found it is here not on any website:

You can get the latest beta from the last or second to last page, but you might want to read the entire thread to get an idea of how to use the program. I think it will soon be a killer app up there with pzp
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.

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

Search S2U2 (Slide to Unlock 2). Unfortunately, on the TP2 there is an issue with the landscape mode being garbled.

Any way to disable auto device lock after ending a call on the Verizon TP2? I tried a cab but it didn't work. After I hang up or end a call, the phone automatically locks itself requiring me to press Unlock then type in the password (none in my case, just tap Unlock again).
Also, is there any hack/tweak to add a "screen off" button for Windows Media Player? It lets you set one but anything other than a keyboard key isn't recognized. Closing the device after turning the screen off just turns the screen back on, and using the standby power button on top stops the music from playing.
Finally, is there a way to make it so the power button (standby power on top) has to be held for a couple of seconds before it turns the screen on, or off?
This is for the Verizon Touch Pro 2. Thanks for any help in advance!
Bump! Anyone?
I have the same problem with locking after a call. Anyone have any idea?
i believe the cab ur looking for to disable the auto lock is called "disable_devide_autolock" or something of that nature ***note, you must soft reset after install for the changes totake effect***
Has it always done this? I have a VZ TP2, and it doesn't lock after a call. It only locks when the phone reaches the pre-set time limit. Maybe setting got bumped somehow?
I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2. Is there a way to make the phone wake up if it receives a phone call but still keep the phone locked? Like I want to have to unlock it before answering the call.
Sometimes at work I don't necessarily hear a call or want to answer it. The phone unlocks and then while it's in the case in my pocket, it's vulnerable to screen taps and hard buttons presses because it's not locked anymore until it goes to sleep again...that's if it goes to sleep cause I am physically active at work and the case may press against the screen a little and etc.
I use LockDevice v1.6 too

LockDevice v1.6 is a program to turn on the phones stock lock when you hit the power button...not a soft/hard button lock.
To lock the hard buttons/soft buttons.screen tabs when you get a call, reminder, ect you will need a lock program such as:
S2U2, TouchLockPro, or PocketShield. These are probably the more well known ones.
I have tried Pocketshield and am now trying S2U2, both seam to be doing the job good.
