I changed the registry.
When the backlight is off and the screen is lock, the backlight does not go on when I unlock the screen at this moment.
Have to press the power button to turn the screen off and on again for the backlight to work properly.
Is there a resolution on this?
Thank you.

It looks that there is a problem with Blackstone Roms, all of them have this problem. I always used autolock and my solution was to disable the Dim timer on the Power settings.
This way the phone will only locks when it powers off.

I'm not facing this issue with Duttys 6.5 Leo Test 2

I can confirm that! I don't have the issue with that ROM.
But:
When i press the CallEnd button for some seconds to lock the screen manually then there seems to be a kind of a delay until the lock screen appears.
is there a way to get the lock screen immediately or is it a general winmobile issue?

I don't know why, but nobody mentioned S2U2. Works perfectly on all Dutty ROM's and does all the things needed to solve this problem.
I set it to "Lock when device wakes up". Additionally I chose not to use S2A (Slide to Answer) in favor of the default answering slider which works like a charm for me. When somebody calls me S2U2 automatically unlocks and I have full access to the answering buttons.
Further I disabled the automatic power off by S2U2 and let WinMo do this in order to prevent conflicts between the different power managments.

Hi! Personal i don't like S2U2 too much tho thx for your hint.
I want the wm6.5 implemented lock screen but with fast reaction.

s2u2 v1.61 for HD

this may be a very stupid question to may of you but allow me to ask what is the correct version i should use s2u2 for my HD?
i think should be VGA/WVGA. please correct me if i am wrong.
thanks in advance

Yeah that is the correct one - HD is WVGA

you are correct. the touch HD is WVGA but for s2u2, the VGA and WVGA are installed through the same .cab

i dont really get the idea of this program. it just adds one extra barricade when i wake the device from standby. well, it locks the green phone button, thats great. but thats the onliest useful thing i can see.it just takes more time to get the device ready

well its useless if you dont set your machine to wakeup on sms and such
otherwise its useful as any locking program is: it locks the machine when needed

... and S2P (slide 2 play, a mp3-player) integrates well! You can control music playback right from the s2u2 screen! =D

ok, but the touch automatically locks when screen is turned off. so i dont get the need for an extra lock. and the s2p player is, well..., not really good ;-)
ill shut my mouth now

hey dude it's just your opinion aint it

Well I have to agree with you. I initially use it because it's cool but after using for a while I feel the way you feel too. But one of its function is useful, for locking the phone while incoming call, it avoids accidently pressing the keys at the bottom of the phone while struggling to take the phone out of your pocket/pouch/bag etc.
I tried to install s2u2 1.61 but it doesn't work anymore. It used to work with 1.52. Any idea?

I have also found with 1.60 that my reminders will flash up for about a second then disappear (i can't dismiss them).
Lock system notification is off - any ideas what would be causing this? (I could always dismiss notification in 1.45)

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:

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.

Auto-lock the phone, is this really possible?

Hi,
My phone keeps on living its own life in my pocket and really enjoy calling random people on my behalf. This is getting more and more irritating, and I would really love to be able to have it locked as soon as I suspend it.
I am using the official HTC ROM with WM6.5 WWE (and want to stick to this one). I also want to use the default WM6.5 lock screen which is perfect for my needs.
I allready tried a lot of solution presented on XDA, but none was perfect so far.
-HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable to 1. This solution seems to be the best, as it is built-in and light; but it doesn't work at all; the phone does not lock itself
-I tried DeviceLock from XDA, which didn't work either
-I also tried Autolock, which work quite good as long as I don't resume my phone with the sliding keyboard; after that I have to unlock it manually to get it working again...
-I also tried to add a PIN code, but this is really inconvinient for my use...
If you were able to successfuly use one of those solutions (or maybe even a new one), please let me know; you'll save my phone's life!
Thank you!

I haven't tried it, but HERE is another called LockDevice

i have always used s2u2. didnt use any of the fancy stuff, just as a screen lock. good thing is that u can set it to auto-off ur phone after n seconds. i set to 5s. so i dun even have to press the power button to off the phone. just map s2u2 to a shortcut button or softkey and it will off my phone 5s after activation. when u received and sms or miss a call, good thing is ur phone remains at the s2u2 screen, and it will turn off ur phone after 5s also.

PocketShield works great but you gotta buy it after a trial.

Woaw this was exactly what I needed!
Very light and doing what it is supposed to do; thank you very much!
EDIT: Now I am looking for pretty wallpaper (which also work in landscape) for my lock screen, any advice?

LockDevice doesn't work for me for some reason.. It does if I use the power button, but if I use a software "Power Off" shortcut it does not.. And I use the shortcut 98% of the time to turn off the phone via hitting the End button twice or tapping my right softkey at the Today screen. If I use it, the phone doesn't lock at all.
I continue to use S2U2, which works just dandy, but it's pretty resource intensive. 3.2m of ram, although I personally have no problems with battery life etc using it.

I use CSDevCtrl its got loads of options and if you want to simply lock the device when you switch the screen off or after a period of time its easy to do so.
edit: I just realised that this is now called auto lock and may be the one you referred to in the OP. If it is just to let you know I don't have to unlock again after keyboard slide out so it may be worth double checking the settings.

yep reg settings have no effect. I use SmartLock (easy find if you search for on XDA) with WM6.5 lock and Suspend Lock enabled. The WM6.5 lock screen is awsome.

My favorite has become TouchLockPro. Can be set to no lock is there is light on the sensor, or external power, and using the G-Sensor.

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.

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!
