I'm running an HTC Desire with OpenDesire 4.0.36 and I'm trying to fathom the lock screen.
If I disable the lock or use a password, then the slide to unlock screen appears, but if I use a pattern lock, then pressing the power button (to wake the phone) goes straight to the pattern screen.
It's a bit annoying as I keep pressing the power button in my pocket then locking myself out of my phone.
Is there any way to alter this behaviour? I'd like the unlock screen and the pattern unlock.
Thanks

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.
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.

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.
Hello.
It seems when you activate pin or password lock you loose the lock screen after screen turns itself off. It will lock after set number of minutes. At which point you have to first swipe then enter the code. Witch is dumb because the whole purpise of lock screen is to protect from accidental pressing something not make it inconvenience for user.
So is there a mod that would allow have swipe to unlock activate on screen off or power button and only lock the phone with pin after set number of minutes after that?
Thanks.
P.S.
Preferably stock lock screen. Love the water and ink effects.

You can do this using Tasker.
Hi, is there any app that can lock power button, i.e. to switch off or restart phone. Either by password or simply lock n unlock?
Cool....)
So I set my phone to use a PIN and to lock 10 minutes after timeout; power button does NOT lock instantly.
For whatever reason when I turn the screen off and turn it back on I need to swipe on the screen but not enter a pin.
In every phone I've ever had turning the screen on before the pin is activated would go straight to my home screen, how do I fix this?

Click to collapse
You can't. That actually sounds like a pretty terrible idea to me. The point of at least swipe to unlock is to prevent accidental screen touches if your screen turns on in your pocket.
