Can not lock the phone / put in stand-by - Desire General

Hello.
I can not lock my phone.
When I press the power button to lock the phone, nothing happens, but I can unlock the phone by pressing the very same power button. No problems! Also, at a long-press of the power button, the menu appears as it should.
The only exception is when I do unlock the SIM-card at phone boot. At that time, I am able to lock the phone, but as soon as HTC sense apperas, the ability to lock the phone is gone.
I have tried to hard-reset the phone using the built in feature, but still no luck.

[Q] lock phone when pressing pwr-off, how?

I like my device locked after pressing the Power button.
The screen goes off and I want my device locked.
Where in the prefs do I setup?
By default, every time you press the standby button, it is locked already. When you wake the device, you always have to do the downward swipe to unlock...
So, what's the problem?
If you mean the pattern code then it is a choice when you set the pattern up.....I think default is set to 3 mins.....change it to immediately.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thats exactly what's not working. I push the power knob. And my device just wakes up.
I can't find any settings in the pattern preferences either. THAT'S my problem
Wohoo. Just found it in and undersection of cyanogen prefs.

[Q] Desire buttons problem, and restarting when pressing power button.

Hello, I need help as soon as possible.
Today I was running with my HTC Desire listening to music and also using app MapMyRun. After all, I checked my phone, pressed power button and it restarted and entered to safe mode. I turned off safe mode, and then, when I was pressing power button to lock my screen it locks, but when I want to unlock it, then phone restarts (in safe mode it worked.). Moreover, volume down, menu and search buttons seems to be not working. I have done factory data reset.
Thanks.

[APP]Ringer Mode Lock - Android 4.2 volume buttons fix

This application blocks the ringer mode to avoid changing the mode when the phone is locked (screen on)
this is a workaround for the following strange behavior / bug on stock android 4.2+:
Note: my phone uses a pattern to unlock screen.
- Steps to reproduce the problem.
1.Lock the phone, and light the screen with power button.
2.Long press power button until the power off menu appears.
3.Press the power button to close the screen.
- What happened.
4.After that, every time the screen is lighted (but not unlocked), press the volume keys can change the volume though no music is playing at all.
The volume keys keep working each time I turn on the screen without unlocking, and it is back to normal when I unlock the phone use the unlock pattern and lock again.
- What you think the correct behavior should be.
The volume keys should not work at all when the phone is showing lock screen, it has accidentally muted my phone and led to missed calls. This is worse than power off menu it self. Since power off menu only appears with long press, but when ever the menu appears once, the volume keys work every time until I re-lock the phone.
And also I don't think the power off menu should appear by long pressing during locking state, since it is quite possible that the power button can be long pressed even in my pocket during taking the phone in or out.
P.S. When the phone is rebooted and went into lock screen the first time, the volume keys will work on lock screen without the necessity of showing the power-off menu.

Cool....)

SW3 randomly has screen lock turned on and I now can't lock it

Hi guys
Got my sw3 today and set it all up and then now it's randomly turned the screen lock on and I can't unlock it!!
Question .... Can I somehow do a factory reset without unlocking it?
Or is there a default screen unlock combo that may work.
Please help!
Help
Turn it off by holding the power button for a few seconds.
then when it's off, hold the power button again until the insert USB image shows.
Then on that, press the power button twice and it'll take you to another menu.
Then on the menu you'll have 4 options. I think it's the last one that says factory reset. When you get to it press the power button twice again.
Hope that helps.
