Locking device, am i missing something? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

pressing the top button puts it in standby, tapping that button brings it out and calls random ppl in my pocket afew times a day...
Holding the end button and locking the decide locks it but dosnt put it in standby...
So u have to hold the end key choose lock then put it in standby.... if the standby key is then bumped it will make it light up and... keep your keys company?
Is there a way to make it automatically lock after 30sec and go into standby after another 30sec? as this is just rediculas lol
And i dont want the wimo password lock... i want the lock where u have to just slide the button to unlock it
And help would be much appreciated ^_^

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

Screen Lock

I know the BA has a built in Screen lock that means I have to press the power button and no other ones, to get it to turn on, but... if I have bluetooth on and it connects to my car kit, that 'wakes' the PDA and before I know it I have all kinds of applications opened cause my case is pressing keys.
I installed a Screen Lock I used on my 2210 which, when activated means I have to first press power to wake the PDA, then press key 4 and 1 to actually bring the screen back. None of the other keys will work unless I press 1 and 4 together first. This is great if I'm listening to music, I tap Screen Lock and put it in my belt case.
The problem with this is, when someone calls me, I don't seem to be able to wake it by pressing 1st and 4th keys like normal. I have to let the call go to answer machine, then I can wake the PDA...
Does anyone know of a better screen lock program that will let me take calls (or should I say, let me wake the PDA when a call comes in)?
Thanks.
No one can help with this?

Hard / Soft key lockout (except pwr button) in Standby ?

Guys,
Do you know of a WM5/WM6 utility that will lock the keypad controls when the screen goes blank after 5 mins on my Trinity? What I would want to happen is that I press either the power button to take it out of standby mode and activate all keys again as it is hen its in my pocket the buttons get pressed and aspects like the start menu or contacts open automatically.
What i want is like on the Orange C500 where you press * enter or something to activate the keypad.
Cheers

Simply go to your settings-system.key lock. There you can enable this function without a tool!
you can try an utility for vijay555 at www.vijay555.com, it locks by phone with the standard lock utility (the today plugin included by default) and turns off the screen, you can assign it to a key to have both things done automatically.
when you power on the device, you will have to unlock it to get the phone pad activated.
The default keylock does not work! It locks the softkeys but it does not lock the hard keys on the control pad as they often get touched and do things like access contacts etc when i do not want them too!!!
The default Keylock works for me- Orange SPV M700 with WM6 MunRus ROM- selecting 'Lock all keys except power key when off' also disables the navigation and phone keys.
It needed a couple of soft resets for it to take though.
tried that and it does not work?
or use the Slide2Unlock, it works excellent.
I configured it to lock when Light is dimmed, and then turn of the screen after 15 seconds, but without putting device in standby.
Then I disabled standby in the Power panel.
I also assigned to manually start it when pushing the button next to the power button.
So now I can start the music player, push that button and it will keep on playing. and to get back, I push the power button and slide finger over screen.
Done.
Real handy.
Don't forget to give some coffee to developer.
where is that utility?

Add auto lock to the power button?

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

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

Calls being dismissed by lock screen.

Hello,
Loving my desire but this problem is really annoying,
Every time I take the phone out of my pocket it's slide the phone upwards so the call is being dismissed.
Any chance I can change that?
I'm running a rooted phone.
Thanks.
I agree on this, It's quite annoying.
I've seen some apps that change the lockscreen, but most of them consume memory and/or a lot of battery power. A free app would be preferred.
why isnt your screen off? when you go to put the desire in your pocket press the power button on the device quickly and it will turn your screen off and also lock it, there is no need to have the screen on whilst in your pocket is there? this is also power saving on your phone, hitting the power button again will then switch it to the lock screen once you have taken it out of your pocket.

This is when a call comes in. When a call comes on the phone wakes from sleep mode.

[Q] Lock Button - Double press to lock tweak?

I find it very easy to hit the lock button by accident, particularly when turning the phone horizontally or when passing it to someone to show them something. Is there an existing or a possibility of a tweak where the screen locking would only happen by, say, a double press of the lock button?
