After installing same cab, I noticed that when i press and hold the end bottom, although it is set to lock the device, it just moves to the home screen.
if i manually choose to lock the device, it also does not work.
if i lock the device with the password it works. does anyone know what the problem is?
thanks
Hi lucianoci,
There is a bug with the HD which means that you can't have password lock and long press end key lock working together. You should find that if you remove the password you will then be able to lock the phone by pressing and holding the end key.
Another "bug" by the lock-feature is, that "power saving" reduce the brightness and after an unlock the brightness didn't increase again.
hi!
I want a cab / app to lock the device (to change the registry and put it in softkey).
Do you know where I can find it?
The end press key is set to disconnect data connection!
thanks
If I'm right, hold the end call button and it will jump in to lock mode.
(can't check now, still waiting for my replacement)
yes it would work if I didnt have a disconnect setting on end key!
i prefer the softkey
just found it! and works great!

also did configure left soft key to lock the device!!!
How did you assign that to the soft key? I used advanced Config to change the path to "Program Files/Lock/DeviceLock", the key name changed but nothing happens when I touch it.
How do you change the registry to make the left soft key into a lock button??
What do I type?
I'm running the latest nfsfan 6.5 rom
I'm not talking about S2U2, I'm talking about what everybody with 6.5 seems to have when they turn their phone screen on. A lock slider near the top of the screen located in the center that you can slide either right or left to unlock.
I've looked around my setting but see no mention of it so I'm using S2U2 in the meantime.
Start button, then "Lock" at the bottom of the screen?

start>setting>system>lock> put any kinda lock you want.. >lock in 0 min.> ok> turn off screen> turn it on
You could also try csdevctrl. It locks the phone when after the device has waken up.

You can also hold down the end key which will bring up a quick menu.
My friend installed 6.5 and his lock screen pops up everytime he turn the screen on. He said it was a very basic instal, no extra cabs or customization.
When I do
start>setting>system>lock> put any kinda lock you want.. >lock in 0 min.> ok> turn off screen> turn it on

it forces me to put in a password. That is not what i want and it's time consuming.
Start > Lock - works but i wish it would just require a slide whenever i turn the screen on
wtf
the way i use it is to hold the End button and automatically locks the screen, that is the best way i have found to use it without having to input a password to unlock, plus i dislike to have 3rd party software to do stuff that the OS should be capable of doing in first place.

Download the WWE-Chobit Company SmartLock 1.7E.cab and install. This will show up in your settings and give you some check boxes that will make life easy.
I tired Cho's app, it messed up my touch keypad.
Had to remove to be able to type letters instead of symbols.
No joy here.

How to activate slide to unlock in winmo 6.5
You can have the screen lock and unlock it with or without a password. Having it with a password lets the phone lock automatically after a specified amount of time. Conversely, without a password you must lock it manually to display the lock screen with only slide to unlock to access the phone.
Just try de-selecting the "Prompt if unused for" box in the lock screen settings:
Step 1: Start menu/settings/lock [Then clear the checkbox]
The password "type" grays out and the "password" and "confirm" boxes clear. Hit OK and it will allow you to unlock without a password by sliding to unlock. The only thing missing is automatically locking after a certain period of time; so you have to manually lock each time by pressing Start, and the Left soft-key at the bottom of the screen (Lock).
You can also change your power settings to make this process a little more automatic. You can have the screen turn off automatically without having to press the power button after you do the start/lock maneuver.
Once you manually lock the phone, the screen will then turn off automatically. The next time you're ready to use the phone; press the power button-screen turns on-slide to unlock. Or if you get a call, you get the winmo 6.5 slide to answer screen (by changing the power setting this way, the phone doesn't power off, it goes into standby.
(This way you don't have to install anything, have conflicts with the ROM, and can prevent premature hardware button failure)
Step 2: Start/settings/system/power [Advanced tab: under "On battery power" select checkbox-turn off device if not used for and choose shortest time interval]
It won't turn off the phone, it'll just turn off the screen after the time you specify and you don't have to worry about accidental dials or button presses. Turn off backlight just dims the screen.
No need to press the power button to turn off the screen (changing the power settings makes it automatic), so once it's locked you can put it right in your pocket. When you're ready to use the phone again, press power and slide to unlock.
Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Buttons -> "End Key" Tab -> Select "Automatically execute the selected action:" -> Select "Lock device" -> OK
Hold the "End" button to lock device.

Lots of solutions to one problem that should not have occured in the first place. Why didn't you copy the iPhone/S2U2's behavior, MS?
Alreading mentioned here but install CSDevCtrl and in its settings
check box "lock when device wakes"
Hello.
On Note2 when you press and hold for 1/2 sec on letter "N" it shows a popup with additional characters to chose from and if you release the button it automatically closes the popup and enters ","
On Note3 the popup stays on screen until you tap on it again. This is very inconvenient. Is there a way make it automatically close the popup and input whatever alt character displayed on the key?
Thank you.
[EDIT]
Found it. You'll need root.
Obviously make backups before attempting change anythings
In /system/csc/features.xml find:
Code:
<CscFeature_Sip_AlternativeCharPopupInput>Stay</CscFeature_Sip_AlternativeCharPopupInput>
replace it with:
Code:
<CscFeature_Sip_AlternativeCharPopupInput>Hide</CscFeature_Sip_AlternativeCharPopupInput>
(alternatively you could either delete|comment that line, or add the new line at the end of the list, it works too)
Short question: when G3 is protected with pin or password and off & locked, can you still start camera without "logging in" ?
I want to change phone from Note 3 which does not allow it, and this is "must have". Thanks!
If you put your phone to sleep by power button and hold volume down when screen is off it will automatically start the camera. And when you are about to enter your pin you can see a little camera icon on the bottom right which enables you to open your camera without logging in but it wont let anyone to access your photos without entering that pin or password
Yes you can hold volume down if you enabled the shortcut keys or swipe the screen left as seen below.
