hi, I am curious where to go to set the tilt 2 to automatically lock to the winmo 6.5's screen after like a few minitues of not use. I konw that if I press the end call button for a few sec, it locks it but is there a way to do it automatically after a few minutes?
thansk.
Try This
I can give you a suggestion, but I have the Verizon version, so it may be a little different. I also may depend on your ROM...
Goto Settings > System > Smart Lock. Checkmark Dim Lock box.
Goto Settings > System > Power. Select Backlight, set backlight dim time, and then your device will auto lock when your backlight dims.
I also use Gyrator to auto lock my phone when I turn it upside down. (I always insert in my pocket upside down (Reverse portrait), but I never use it upside down, and this prevents unwanted button/screen presses while in my pocket.)
thnak you so much for the reply. It appears to me that the ATT version has slightly different setting for it. I do see the lock option but that would require a password, anyway to still let it enabled without any password? anyone with ATT can shine some lights.

I believe the Lock Setting Devoncoon is referring to is fixed with SmartLock (app here on XDA). That might help to download that app, if you have not done so. Once you install it, set it up as Devoncoon instructed you, and you will not require a password lock.

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a way to get the Device Lock feature (appears as a padlock on the Today screen) to active automatically after a preset length of time.
I have WM5 on my ex-SPV/M700 and the feature is very handy for preventing false button presses whilst device in pocket etc but annoyingly can only be invoked manually.
Thanks in adavnce for any help/info,
LL
Do you mean:
Start > Settings > Lock > then tick Prompt if device unused for: choose time lenght
?
Edit: Just checked and that's not what you mean!!! However this would give you the same reset apart from having to enter a PIN number, also making it more secure.
I have exactly the same phone as you. Turn off the standard today plugin from Orange and use the default PocketPC screen and the lock will be visible. I have no idea why Orange forgot to add the Padlock feature as it is standard thing on most phones. If anyone can make this lock larges it would be helpful!
Crankshaft:-
I dont want to be messing about with passwords every time I switch the device on.
Nighthawk:-
As I was alluding to in my first post, I have an ex-SPV/M700!
So, as with you device, I'm with the HTC Homeplug also and have enabled Device Lock to appear on my Today screen already.
My bug-bear is that I want it to activate automatically after a preset time, rather than having to do it manually. Many mobile phones have this kind of functionality, but I've not found a way to do that yet on this XDA...

What about to set an idle delay in the battery/alimentation parameter and check “lock all key” in the key lock parameter...
How do I turn this stupid feature off?
I'm sorry but why is turning the screen off if it is in your pocket a bad feature? You won't be able to see it anyways.
Settings > Display > Screen timeout maybes?
I'm an idiot
Screen turning ON at the end of the call - causes the phone to do what it wants (call other people, edit contacts, etc)
Before you put the phone in your pocket, press the power button to lock the screen?
Happens all the time. Just goto settings and use the additional lock pattern or use an alternative from the market. Make sure you select an easy pattern for one hand unlocking.
hi,
my G3 sometimes shutoff the data automatically, with no reason, other than me accidentally turning it off, is there knowledge that this is a bug ?
how to turn off camera quick launch in your lock screen ?
i configure my phone to be locked immediately and i need to key in the pin to use the phone but in the lock screen, if you swipe the bottom to the left, it quick launches the camera,
how to remove the camera launch ?
thanks in advance
Turning off the camera shortcut.... just go into the device settings, go across to General and tap shortcut key. All you need to do is hit the toggle in the top right.
The camera launch i'm unaware of, as when I have a code it disappears. I doubt you will be able to remove the shortcut on screen.
Currently I use PIN+fingerprint setup. I wonder if there is a way I can do this:
I turn off the screen using the power button (or the phone turns off after inactivity).
If I turn on the device in x minutes (or hours) using the power button, then the device shows lock screen. Then I just swipe the screen without having to type PIN.
Unlocking lock screen with fingerprint works well, but sometimes it is not very convenient. I cannot use fingerprint when I wear gloves for example. Of course I do know that under Security, there is an option of "Automatic lock", but this is not what I want because it does not show lockscreen at all for entered duration.
Is there any app that allows me to do this?
You can delay the security lock for up to 30 minutes I think in the settings.

I already mentioned that. Under Security - Automatically lock, I can delay up to 50 minutes. But this disables lockscreen at all -- turning off then turning on using the power button yields NO LOCKSCREEN. It brings me back to the screen I was looking at. This is not I want, I want to delay password input but I want to have lockscreen, which I can swipe away.
No Idea?
Well there seems to be no solution I guess. Too bad.
Hi all,
I've got a really annoying feature on my screen lock where my keypad will auto-show and if I enter my PIN I'll be launched direct into the app at the time. I hate this feature and want to disable it, but I'm not sure which setting controls this. Did I say I absolutely hate this feature and it drives me nuts hence why I'm posting here.
Its not 100% clear what you mean.
Your lock screen activates and when you unlock it via pin you get put back into the app that was running before screen lock activated, when you'd prefer it to go back to the home screen?.
That is normal behaviour. There is no way to change it without causing an even bigger nuisance, which would be to kill all apps upon leaving them, which will make your phone run slow.
I could recommend an app by htc called "boost+" which can kill apps automatically if you apply the background optimizers to "always off" which will attempt to kill apps when you leave them. This is less intrusive than using developer settings to kill all apps. It may work, it may not.
Hi, thanks for replying.
Yeah sorry it is a little difficult to articulate this behavior.
So when I want to go back into my phone from the screen off / sleep state, I hit the power button to turn the screen on and wake the device up. When I do this the screen lock keypad opens and if I enter my pin I'll be taken into an application. Mind you this doesn't happen all the time. It generally happens when I've received a notification e.g. hangouts message, an sms, missed call notification, email and so on. I'm sure this behavior wasn't happening before. I can't remember if I changed a setting, or there's been an update to the lock screen from HTC. Either way I want to turn this feature off, I don't want the phone controlling me, I want to control the phone.
