Is there a way to change the lock button on the right to more of a soft lock.
every time i hit it, i have to enter my pin in again. so it would be nice if the button acted more like the screen timeout.
Any ideas?
You could turn off your lock password?
I can't. The phone has to be connected to our exchange server, which requires a pin at the minimum.
I don't know if you have owned a blackberry, but if you press the lock button it doesn't require your pin to be entered until a set amount of time, but still sleeps the display and doesn't allow input.
There is an app on the market that may do what your looking for - "Password Delay Full". There is also a free version but I don't know what the differences are, I figure it's better to get the paid one to support the devs!
There is a built in lock delay right?

Yes, once your lock is set up go to Settings>Location and Security>Timeout

Yes, with this option you can set delay upto 30 min. for the screen to lock out after it has been turned off.

That doesn't work. It says "Lock screen 'X' minute/s after screen automatically turns off."
That means if you leave your phone there with the screen on, it will lock X minutes after the screen turns off by itself. If you press the lock button, only way to unlock is with passcode. My Sensation didn't do this, hopefully there's an easy option on this phone.

Right, I have the same problem and am looking for a solution. HTC Sense has this working properly, but on Samsung the power key does the full screen off + lock rather than just screen off and let the lock delay lock it.
Very annoying. I'm guessing that a Samsung TW update or a new ROM could fix it.

Hi, I would like to know if there's a way to manually turn off the screen? I've changed the display time-out settings so that it doesn't automatically turn off the screen while I'm still using it, but it would be nice if there was a way to manually turn off the screen. Right now I'm resorting to locking it, but that means extra work

Welcome to the forum
If you press the red call button it will block your screen and in a few seconds will be off and locked
Hope it helps,

You can se the screen to auto lock at desired time(10/20 seconds,etc.) from the last time you touched a button, with a digital or analog clock display as a screen saver using smarttoolkit. Instead of manually, it will be automatic, but it will turn off your screen. Let me tell you this is a great feature if you have kids, like myself , if I put the phone down, I don't have to worry if my kids get a hold of it 'cause the screen will be locked.

Nothing happens when I press the end call button. Is there some hidden setting I need to activate for it to work? I'm on WM6.1 by the way.

if you are usen the Kavana 6.1 ROM use CeleTask and in tool part click on close screen, it should go off and wont keylock when u tap any key to enable the screen again and nice too a light tap on the jogger reenables the screen aswell.
Hope this helps you.
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.
Dave
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

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

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?

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.
Hello,
I am having this issue since i have updated my phone to marshmallow.
When i set "screen lock type to fingerprint" and try to unlock my phone with fingerprint i am getting this.
Enter pattern instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy
Is there any way around to always use fingerprint.
Thank you.
Do you long press the home button to turn the screen off?
It's Samsung security ..no way around it... It usual happens if.. 1~uturn off screen than turn it back on immediately..2~if your screen been off a while..it's no bug... It's part of Samsung 6.0.1 security
I don't believe that's true. The only time fingerprint asks me for an additional password/pattern is the first time after I reboot and if I turn off the screen by long pressing the home button.

I use double tap to turn of the screen
Use the power button instead if you want to use fingerprint
plz guys ! i notice that when i unfold the phone its open without lock screen ?

Do you see a lock screen if you leave the phone open and press the power button (to lock the phone) than press it again (turning the screen back on) while making sure not to use a finger you have set up with fingerprint unlock?

I don't think you're going to get what you want. It's a very niche desire you have.
Not many people want to have no protection of their device but still want to have to clear a lock screen stay opening their phone.

Because, the assumption is if you pick up your phone while closed you'll either use the lock screen on the outside screen or open the device to use it fully.
If you leave it open and less the power button, you want it to lock. It will then show the lock screen of you press the post button again because that's the default behavior. Show lock screen on current screen.
If you unlock the Fold 3 while it's closed then it won't have lock screen when unfolding. Since device is already been unlocked when it was closed. So to avoid this you have to unfold the device first then unlock that way you will see lock screen.
