Screen Lock

hi,
does anyone know how i can set it so the screen auto locks after a given amount of time or is there a freeware app that can do this please. because i rather have it that having to remember to press the power button to lock everytime, sometimes i might forget.
cheerz,
snoop

Lock the Screen? Power-Button simply switches the Device of, e.g. the screen. In Power Management you can set a Device timeout in Battery Mode and on AC Operation. This is equal to pushing the Power Button

I think i see the problem, or i'll tell my problem with that issue...
When you push the power-button the screen turns off and is locked, but if you receive a sms or so, the screen returns back on and is not locked...

ok ye i think u get my point.
i dont know about screen lock after receiveing sms or call.
but i c the point of samson, pressing the power botton does lock the screen.

look for deviceock or vj devicelock.

There is a today-application called BatteryStatus. With its help you can lock the device automatically when it is shut down. Does the job for me - of course you allways have to unlock the device after turning it on.

If you had bothered typing 'BatteryStatus' into Google you'd have seen it was the first hit. Establishing it is the right program is simply a case of reading the web page. Why are people so goddam lazy these days?

yes ok i get your point. sorry.
right i have installed. lots of nice options and things. but have little problem now. As we knw the device has the function where as the backlight will turn off after a set amount of time. Mines set to 30sec for battery power and 1min for external power.
After 30secs (using battery) it does its job and turns off the backlight. Normally i would press the power button and device turns back on. HOWEVER! since installing batterystatus the device just wont turn back on. I mean its got enough battery, i can tell this because 1) the light at the top flashes 2) Heres the strange thing , the only way i seem to be able to waking the device from backlight is by pluging in the usb cable.
So i thought i would try and un-install the app see if that would help..but nope that didnt help because it still does the same thing.
After installing the app i did a soft rest. I thought it might help, but it didnt. This is the other thing, once i did this, i see the t-mobile splash screen where shows the ROM and other info. And then i just goes blank for a while....and then i see the T-mobile PIN entry keypad splashing by every few secs. I was only able to by pass this after trying and trying to enter pin number on a black screen.
Do you think i should do a hard-rest? Dont really want to do this. Means i have to re-install my little apps and contacts, email settings etc etc.
Can anyone help me with this problem please??

Hi there, i had quite te same problem, after a soft reset the backlight turns on until the bootup screen dissapears, then the screen seems to be blank, but it shows everything, but without the backlight on. You have to point a light onto the screen and you can hardly see wats on it.
Then go to the backlight settings and turn it up.
Then you have to look at every program, thats adjusting the backlight settings and turn of automatic darken screen or so in the program.
That helped for me.

WOW great i thought it was just me *phew! lol*. Thats excatly what is/was happening to me but....
this app just gets stranger and stranger.

And :S stranger thing was that the problem didnt happen this time, i saw the t-mob splash screen, saw the windows mobile green splash screen and then my keylock and then pin number screens.
hmmmm no idea wots that was all about. but hey its all working K.O so im happy now. just got to fiddle with the settings now
Thanks againt to everyones help. Appercaited

How can I active screen blacklight with other key (aside power button)

My screen will turn off black light in 10 sec, if i tap anywhere on screen or press any buttons, it will not turn on.
I can only activate it using the power button
.. how can i modify it so that it will become active by any key press?
thanks

settings > system > keylock >
Try "lock buttons if device is locked"
or in settings > system > power > advanced
you can set how quickly the device will turn off.
settings > system > backlight < battery power
for the backlight off time.

You could also pick "Do not lock buttons" in the key lock settings but that means ANY button gets pressed you're backlight is back on and you could be doing ANYTHING...
Unless you have a lock program - like S2U2 - then you might not like the results & be spending BIG $$ on phone calls and browsing you didn't mean to do...
Cheers...

thanks for the replies
one more question, other than the S2U2... are there any programs/software for the hermes that when the black light turns off it can be reactivated if i slide open the phone (or press the power button)

This is a beta program then there is This, which is configed with an XML, tried this one, its good.
There will never be any software that allows actions based on sliding open/closed, unlike with the Kaiser. (something about it not being a software rotation but a hardware one)

Auto Lock

I have upgraded from a Touch Pro and am hugely impressed with it. The only negative I am experiencing is that the power button is a lot easier to press than on the original TP. As such, I want to auto enable the lock automatically when the device is turned on. I have enabled this with HD Tweak, and soft reset, but it's still not working. Anybody got it to work?

Yes, I got the same problem, I used the latest Advance Config, but the setting is not there... any one knows any work around?

bump, can anyone help?

I resorted to using S2U2. Works like a charm!

I'm using Pocket Shield for my locking needs. It can unlock with light sensor, gestures, swipes etc. It's pretty handy when using with light sensor enabled as it unlocks without the need to slide or shake. Other unlock options are handy at night time when light sensor wont work.

The problem is the power button on the touch Pro2 is very sensitive, (this needs to be fixed) it cuts the phone on too easy. I just insatlled S2U2, it does does work great, just set the activate time to 10 seconds, if the power button is accidently pressed the phone will cut off within 10 seconds, you can also adjust it lower.
I tried the other pwer options in windows mobile 6.1 and they dont work on the touch pro2 with any success., phone kept cutting on, which I would discover after taking the phone out of the case...kept killing the battery.

Thanks, you've helped me out in more ways than one

for all who have a TP2 and are using S2U2, which version are you using? the reason I ask is because I upgraded to v2.02 on my tilt and it went all buggy on me so I uninstalled it. And I'd like to know which version people are using so I can install it when I get the phone.
and also, have you noticed any bugs or undesirable occurrences with S2U2? even if it only happened a couple of times, I'd really like to know.
thanks

screen turning back on to easy -lock keys?

Hey everyone,
I am having issues with my TP2 screen turning back on to easily and consequently lots of things get pushed in my pocket, and emails sent etc hahaha.
Like it only takes a brush over the power button to turn it on and this happens just about every time it goes into my pocket or pouch.
Is there some way to get the keys to lock when i turn the screen off?
I have noticed on long end key press there is a lock function, but this seems to have unlocked itself a couple times in my pocket.
What can i do? this is starting to annoy me.
Thanks

Buy a case
you can set it to lock when you set the sceen off. But still it will be the same lock screen.
there are nummerous apps for a alternative lock screen, there are at least four threads about it. I suggest you search in this forum and the forum rhodium software
Would like to give you some links, but I'm in a bit of a hurry.

Thanks mate,
I will try searching a bit better, what i was searching before wasnt giving me anything.
Cheers

Does S2U2 work on the TP2? I use it on my Kaiser and very much like it.
Andre

I have always used the WM built-in password lock - set to 1 minute, the whole thing is locked, on any device.

You have to set the time to 0 (zero) for the power button to work. I myself have been trying some different lockers, i like the Throttle locker which i used on my TYTN II and aslo on my TP2. I didn't like the password lock on the TYTN 2 since it wasn't so finger friendly but thanks to the tip here i will use the password built in with time set to zero so i can power off easy and not let people sneak into my phone.

Sometimes the screen don't wake up...

It's been three days since I have a small bug sometimes.
Sometimes when I press the button to turn on my device the phone wake up (the buttons light up) but the screen sty off... The only thing I can do is a softreset and then everything is all right...
Does someone have the same problem and is ther a fix?
Thanks for the answer

Happens to me sometimes too
I guess the ROM is not 100% stable yet... Let's pary 6.5 will be out soon ! (With TF3D 2.5 or even better with the new sense interface !)

same problem here, if he stays off you can hear de volume butons if you press them so it is only the screen or something.
also when i slide out the keyboard, the screen is rotating realy slow and bit by bit. hope for a soon spl and custom (nrg) rom

Have this too, sometimes. I thought it was due to WAD which sometimes uses way too much CPU.
But the screen not comming off is really annoying! And I don't know why this happens.
I removed SPB Pocket Plus and did not experience this problem again - I think it's just coincidence, but still... You could try!

UPDATE
It seems to happens very very more often if I use the camera apps.
