Also, e-Natives' SmartToolkit has an auto-keylock feature. Just go to www.e-natives.com.

simple phone lock required. can you write one for us all

Hello everyone
After trying all the phone lock software out there I still can’t find what I’m looking for, what I’m looking for is so simple an icon in the start menu to lock the phone then r2u or t2u & unlock when phone rings and that’s it. I don’t like the idea of having to press the power button to wake up the screen to be able to unlock the device I’m also not interested in all of the other features that most of the phone lock’s have. Can someone help?
I have tried sensor lock I did like it a lot but I was unable to configure it and you could tell it was running in the background as the screen would jump. Plus throw in my case and a few beers and I know I’m going to drop it.
Many Thanks Jez
A list of phone lock programs you will need to search for them as some of the links aren’t applicable any more and I did need not save the ones that are working
Throttle lock
S2u2
Sunscape
Touchlock pro
Phone buddy
M lock
Organic lock
Pocket shield
Sensor lock
Lock me tight
Stylus lock

try Auto Lock (CSDEVCTRL), you could slide to the right on the screen to unlock the phone or use the windows default unlock.

Hello gbjack
Just tried that app and it’s just to much setting up and I don't think it’s going to do what I want it to do. Just hope someone is willing to write a program going by all the forums I have searched it will be popular
Cheer’s for the reply and suggestion

I tried many lock apps as well, but in the end the standard windows lock is what im using. No hassle, and it simply works as intended. I just press the "hangup" virtual button, and after the second vibration feedback i can be sure that the phone is locked. Doesn't get any simpler than that.

Then you have to try " WWE-Chobit Company SmartLock 1.7B". Only four or five options but it cannot lock your hardware key during call.

Then you have to try " WWE-Chobit Company SmartLock 1.7B". Only eight very simple options but it cannot lock your hardware key during call.

Just tried that app and it’s not even showing in programs for me to set it up, so I will have to keep looking, it amazes me that no one has written a program like I’m after considering it’s so simple.

This is good specialy the turn on bluetooth on call feature, but when we have an income call, the app takes ages to know what to do and the phone only begins to ring 5 secs after. Lockmelite it's the best one around but has a problem with alarms going to background after unlock. The "almost perfect" one is s2u but huge memory consuption makes background app's close or restart.

Hello jpl69
Tried this app found it to involved to setup and still does not do what I am looking for which is tap the screen to wake up so I than can unlock the phone using a s2u app. I find it bizarre that there are many apps to unlock the phone but you still have to push the power button to operate them. Surely it can’t take much program writing to add this feature. Jez

We have to push an hardware ley to wake up our devices from a low battery consuption state (suspend mode) and unfortunaly only have the power and volume hard keys so if you want to wake up your device with a tap on screen you'll only have a couple of hours with a full charge.

Now it makes sense why the screen sleeps if the battery only last for a couple of hours. Just a shame that the power button is so fiddly to operate. Jez

Yes, and it makes no sense having an device lock app (except on incoming calls). I only use it because of my 2 year old son that found the little tiny power on key , and made a couple of phone calls.
P.S. with a registry tweak you can enable the volume keys to wake up your device.

May be this could be your appropriate application:

It's not in the Programs folder, it's in the Settings Folder.

try smart lock 1.7b

That is brilliant and can be found here.
Simple and effective (needs a reboot after install, and is found under settings.

Just to be helpful... here's the brilliantly useful Reg tweak to allow wake-up from the volume keys.
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd
- set key: defaultkeylock from 1 to 0
- softreset
LockMeLite is definitely my favourite (especially with the above tweak), but as mentioned already, the alarm snooze / disappearing to background problem is a constant frustration.

Hello flid
Sorry for the delay everyone just got back from Canada so been busy catching up and sleeping. So how do I go about tweaking the reg key? I know how navigate to the reg key on a computer but not on my mobile

I changed my left soft key to lock the phone on the Home start screen as it was doing nothing useful except jumping to a phone operators website:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKPath = windows\Endkey.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKText = Lock (or whether text you want).

You just need a windows mobile registry editor. There are several free ones. My current Dutty ROM has one inbuilt, but from what I can gather the popular options are Total Commander (free!), Schap's Registry (free), PHM RegEdit (which is built in to Dutty's ROM) and Resco Registry Editor (not free - but definitely the most finger friendly). There may well be others.

Slide to unlock without pin

is it possible to enable the unlock slider without having the pin entry screen pop up afterwards?

to embelish on my issue I am using the latest offical HTC wm 6.5 rom and have tried to edith the registry but changing the reg key for autolock dosen't seem to have any effect. I also tried Advanced Config 3.3 but it's not showing the autolock preferance as an option under the screen heading. I am currently using a pin to keep the screen locked but i'd like a more snappy alternative

try going to settings\lock and uncheck the prompt if phone unused for...should take car of it!!

unfortunatley that setting simply takes away the slide to unlock screen completely. It seems to only appear when I have the pin code enabled :s
I tried to call the lock function when the power button's pressed but the button assignment section on my phone only shows one button for some reason..
Have found my solution for anyone else who had difficulty finding this on the forum heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386451 works like a charm on 6.5

QUESTION - TF3D lock

I have installed S2U2 but still the TF3D nativ lock activates.
is there some way to disable it cause every time I unlock my phone with S2U2 I have to unlock the TF3D lock also and it's getting on my nervs ?

TP2 quick menu and S2U2

Hello,
I have TP2 with TMobile stock Rom. I'm using S2U2 for locking device when inactive.
The problem is that if the device is locked (due to inactivity) and when I unlock it, then it always goes to the home screen. I have disabled "go to homescreen" inside S2U2 settings, but still it goes to home screen.
Also if the screen is displaying certain applications like folderview, blackjack game and its locked->unlocked then these tasks run in background and are not visible using "Quick Menu" from icon area of the titlebar. I have to run the taskmanager and kill these tasks.
Any way to fix it. Other tasks like resco photo manager, htc album, coreplayer etc are OK. They do show up in quick menu.
Thanks

i tried S2U2 (and uninstalled it) and I'm not sure what purpose it serves on the TP2. The power saving locks the screen and it doesn't turn back on unless you press power again. Isn't that what S2U2 accomplishes? My Diamond screen would turn on at random, so S2U2 would be necessary with that phone, but the TP2 (in my stock Sprint ROM) has that functionality built in. Are people using this program by habit?

I think mainly because it has "Slide to Unlock" like the iPhone, .. people are fond by the iPhone, ....
in the TP2 (with Windows Mobile 6.1) there wasnt such thing (slide to unlock) (i think), So it would make sense to use that program, However, in Windows Mobile 6.5 that feature is there (Slide to Unlock)

Also, if you ever run the phone under a magnet (perhaps sliding it through a magnetic-clasped holster), the phone wakes instantly (if the reg tweak/fix was not made). That was a reason why I used S2U2 on my phone before (I now use TouchLockPro).
See_u_then, which version of S2U2 do you have? I was using v2.12 before I abandoned the app, and I don't remember encountering that problem with that particular version.

I'm using version 2.20

Ummm, okay... Would you like to try a different screen locker? I don't know, but S2U2 does have a lot of issues, and I abandoned it because it wasn't very stable and reliable.
If you would like to try another screen locker, TouchLockPro has been great for the past 1 1/2 weeks I've used it! The zoombar lock is great, and you can unlock the phone at the same screen you left it. Of course, you don't get the whole iPhone unlock look, but at least the zoombar gets put to good use (plus, if someone "borrows" your phone, they wouldn't know how to unlock it)!
PM me if you need help with TLP because, imo, the instructions at the developer's site are a little confusing.
BTW, happy new year to everyone!

The reason for using S2U2 is because with WM6.1 (and maybe 6.5, idk) when you recieve a text, the phone unlocks itself..unless you have it "Windows Locked" (actually going in and pressing "Lock"), so there is no very simple easy way to just lock and unlock the phone..and have it stay locked during texts and calls. S2U2 not only emulates the amazing iPhone lock UI and appearance, it also makes it much easier and faster than using the default lock, and solves the problem of not having a way to actually KEEP it locked when recieving texts and calls and other alerts. I personally LOVE S2U2.
Now, to fix your problem, DISABLE TouchFLO3D. TouchFLO3D is the sole cause of every problem on the TP2..at least for me. VERY glitchy and unstable and unuseful. It interferes with almost every app and customization I installed. Once I disabled it, all my problems were solved (including the exact same one you're having here.) It's beautiful and flashy.....but it has several issues including its interference with S2U2. So I've since kept it disabled completely. The standard WM interface may not be as finger friendly or as flashy, but it's far more reliable and useful...at least for now.

except that S2U2 automatically locks the phone, it does NOT by default otherwise.. You'd have to select the Lock option. Also S2U2 has the PIN input which is nicer than the WM one, and looks nice too.
There is a program (LockDevice?) which sort-of accomplishes the auto-lock that S2U2 does but I VERY often find when I turn the phone back on after turning it off and leaving it a few minutes that it is NOT locked, which leads to random programs being launched, phone calls made, etc.. S2U2 always locks.
Don't like S2U2? Don't use it.

MEH, dup, nutty forum.

see_u_then, i am having the same issue with s2u2 on my tp2 with sprint stock rom. i live s2u2 in that i have it set to wake up, but not unlock, whenever any type of notification arrives (minder. email, text, etc.) i've found that it saves me lots of time insteade of having to go to each app every time a event comes in. i've managed to tweak everything but the "wake up to the home screen" issue, so if you find a fix let me know. this issue is especially a pain when a call locks the screen because im then at the home screen and if i need to do key input for the call i have to punch a bunch of buttons to get back to the call screen,

Indeed, I turned off HTC Sense and now the phone no longer unlocks itself. Thanks for the tip!
