[Q] Track ball wake for un rooted HTC Desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Can any one tell me or give the link how can I make Optical Track ball wake for un rooted HTC Desire
Thanks for Help in Advance

There is an app in the market called 'no lock', which makes all the buttons wake the phone. The problem is that you won't have the lock screen anymore if you activate the app, pressing any button will get you to the homescreen, you won't have slide to unlock anymore, until you deactivate the app again.

Just root. I don't see why people don't want to root. It's fully reversible if you need to and easy to do.

thanks for the Help I also found Lockbot pro which dose the similar function, only disadvantage is if you press home button to unlock slide lock will become de-active, once again you have to set the slide lock, then it works. also turning off with only power on/off button only.

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.

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
how do you enable ALL BUTTONS UNLOCK ?
in older devices there was an option somewhere in the keys section, now only the power button turns the phone on,. i want all the keys to turn it on, since i use the s2u2...
thanx

When not removed from ROM you will find it as \Windows\keylock.exe
Otherwise try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5875933&postcount=5
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

unlock htc touch hd

hy guys!
is there anyway to unlock the blackstone without pressing the on/off button?
thank you
You can also use the volume buttons to switch on the screen before slide to unlock....
To switch on the screen you can also use the stylus - just pull it out, and the screen is on.
i am using the official rom from htc. how can i make the volume key unlock it?

Is there a way to wake screen with other buttons?

As a former HTC Hero user i really miss the option to wake the screen using the bottom hardware buttons.
On the Desire you have to use the power button, but i hate the placement of that button.
Is there a way to use the "menu" or any other bottom hardware button to wake the screen?
BUT i still want to have the lockscreen, so the app which is mentioned in the tricks section on this board isn't cutting it for me since it will deactivate the lockscreen in order to let you use other hardware buttons to wake the screen.
Any other solutions? Isn't there some kind of "hardware button mapper" available like on windows mobile devices?
Just got my Desire today, so I am actually curious about this also.

Yes, but only possible on rooted handsets, no?
Probably :/
damn, don't want to root my desire as i have heard of random bricks.
another question:
is there an app to lock the screen using a widget?
so after i'm done with the current action, i don't want to use the power button to lock the screen, but a widget or a shortcut.
Is there a widget available for that? Or even better a widget to turn of the screen?
I have Lockbot Pro installed and I can wake the screen with any of the buttons at the bottom. Pressing Menu then gives me an 'unlock' bar on the screen which I can press to unlock (or I can swipe the screen in the standard way). Allows you to unlock without pressing the power button at all.
thanks for the hint. the app looks quite nice, but it seems to be very slow.
When waking the screen it takes very long until the lockscreen is shown, and it always shows a different lockscreen?!
also is the an option in the pro version to define a key to lock the screen?
So i.e. i wake the screen using the center navigation pad button, can i define that pressig the button again should turn the screen off again?

Alternate way to "wake up" your phone??

Folks can anyone tell me if there is an alternative way to wake up your phone besides pushing the power button, i know there are alot of threads about it but havent been able to find the answer?
Any help would be appreciated
Rockey
You could try screaming at it or violently shaking it, or perhaps banging a loud drum in close proximity to it. No guarantees that those methods would work but they would sure wake me up in a jiff.
Not as far as I know.
Myn's rom has a way you can put a sleep button in the notification bar. Edit: I just contradicted the question, idk of another way to wake it up. -_-

widgetlocker allows you to wake the phone with the volume keys
Plug it into a power source...this brings up the unlock screen.
Simple answer is......................... No
Slap it's ass and then throw water on it. Works on my ex. LOL
Send yourself a text message, plug it into USB.
Try this
Proximity Screen Off
It uses the proximity sensor to turn your phone on and off without touching the phone. It takes a bit of work to set it up but it does what you want.

If you turn off auto screen lock then you can wake up the phone with the volume buttons. There are several apps that turn ASL off. I only use screen lock when I go out and have my phone in its case. At home and more so when I'm tinkering around with the phone the screen lock can be a pain. Can I say screen lock more times or what? lol
download No Lock from the Market. Disable the lock screen, then you can use the power button, or the volume buttons to wake the phone

[Q] [Request] Propper Alternative Unlock App

Hey guys,
I have a HTC Desire HD. To turn the screen on and off, i always have to use the power button.
Thats on the top, and its getting annoying seeing i have a phone case with soft rubber, and pressing it isn't easy.
Im also using the HTC Sense 3.0 Lock Screen. Apart from the cool ring, it shows the incoming messages
There are 2 apps i am aware of on the market, each with pro's and conns
One called AnyUnlock
- This lets you use the Volume key to unlock, but it also disables the pattern unlock.
Tap tap app
- This lets you stroke over you proximity sensor twice to unlock, but it drains power with the sensor on all the time. But this program still enables the pattern unlock.
I would like one that you can just use the volume key, but also makes you use the pattern.
Thankyou
Michael.

I use a widget from SwitchPro to lock the screen, it sits in top right corner and turns the screen off as if you pressed the power button.
As it mimics the power button it allows you to use the patterns and lock screen as normal.
While it doesn't solve your problem completely it does cut the power button presses down by half.
Im also on 3.0 LS and I havnt had any issues using the widget and the LS together.
How do I get widgets from anywhere else then HTC?
Dw I've figured it out
