Alright, go ahead and beat me if I missed it, but after 5 days of looking through hundreds of pages here on XDA about the Tilt 2, I have not been able to find what I am looking for.
Here is what I have.
HTC AT&T Tilt 2 Stock Rom and all. Only a few games installed, and various applications installed.
I have tried going in to the registry & changing the values for the length of time, but it still locks the phone after 5 minutes of inactivity. While I DO like the auto lock feature of Windows Mobile 6.5, the short amount of time it gives me kinda blows. Maximum of 5 minutes before I have to slide & re input my code. I also want it so that when the device is plugged into my computer that it does not auto lock.
Other then this one thing, I am really happy with the device. Too bad that my Parrot Rythm-N-Blue doesn't want to pair with it on blue tooth, but I've been wanting to get the wife to let me get a new car stereo any ways. Compared to my wife's iPhone, I like my Tilt 2 MORE and MORE each day.
Go to the settings screen and tap the lock button. You should find the time adjustment there. I've forgotten where you go stop it from locking while charging or connected to the computer.
I've done that, the check mark to turn it off is greyed out so I can't uncheck it.
In the time settings it give me options of 0 minutes, 1 minute, or 5 minutes, that's it. I've gone into the registry and found the entry that shows the time, I've changed that to a value above 5 minutes, and it still only goes for 5 minutes then locks back up as normal. I'm guessing that there is yet another or several other values that I need to change.
No, I don't want to install S2U2. I have that on my AT&T Tilt 1. With all the settings on it to as minimal as possible, the S2U2 would burn through my battery in a matter of 3 hours.
UPDATE
Alrighty it's time for an update.
Having been sick of the 5 minute screen time out from the exchange securities system, I set out to try to find a way to get around or fix it so that I could have longer times then the 5 minute maximum that they have set.
Here is what I had to do to get my times adjusted.
First off UNLOCK the registry of the TP, Rhodium, Tilt 2 (which ever flavor is yours), and reboot. YEAH it sucks but ya gotta.
Second off you need to edit the following keys to your registry.
* Inactivity time
o HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}\AEFrequencyType: 0 = No inactivity time; 1 = Activity time enable
o HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C 889E-C316FC4AB374}\AEFrequencyValue: number of minutes before timeout
o HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\CodeWordFrequency: Set Dword to 30
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374} AEFREQUENCY VALUE Dword = 30
* Password strength
o Minimum number of characters: HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\LAP\lap_pw\MinimumPasswordLength
o Password complexity: HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\LAP\lap_pw\PasswordComplexity: 0 = Require Alphanumeric; 1 = Require numeric (PIN); 2 = No restriction
* Wipe settings
o Number of failed attempts before all your information will go: HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\DeviceWipeThreshold: -1 = disabled; other failed attempts
o Number of failed attempts before displaying codeoword: HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\CodewordFrequency: number of failed attempts
While the last 2 which are more about clearing the data from your phone if you input the wrong password too many times, they do NOT really have to be edited, they are just there for your desires.
With the above changes and a reboot of my device, I now have it so that I can go in to the phone and if you follow the next steps you SHOULD see what I have in mine now.
Start -> Settings -> Lock ->(Input your lock code) then press unlock then where the grayed out check mark is there is the line to change the time values. You should have everything from 0 minute, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 12 hours & 24 hours.
If you do, then you have successfully changed the values that you needed to and can now choose a time frame for the device to demand your code input after x minutes / hours of time inactive.
I hope that this helps others that were like me and didn't mind the lock screen of the exchange server settings, but did mind the short amount of time that it gives you to be "idle" from the device.
So far so good, I set my Tilt 2 lock settings to 1 hour, and timed it, at 59 minutes & 59 seconds my screen went to the "slide to unlock" screen, and requested my pin #. Apparently I missed a second somewhere.
Thanks! It works on my Touch HD WM 6.5 rom. my original setting is 15 mins, which is too annoying. Now it's much better!
I have the setting checked to keep screen on while on AC, but it still auto dims to about 10% after 30 seconds or so. I want to stop it from doing this and just keep the screen at 90% all the time. Auto-brightness is already off, and that didn't change anything.
I'm trying to setup a tasker profile to turn the brightness to 90% during the day when in the car. Everything works fine, I can see the screen get brighter, BUT it still dims after 30 seconds and I can't see the display when it's bright out unless I touch the screen, then it comes back to full brightness again.
Help please?

I don't have that option. Only goes to 30 min. I'm running CM6.

But the screen still dims to about 10% (even with Sense and even while plugged in).

Exactly.
I've temporarily resolved this by having tasker open car home, then opening pandora.
When car home is running, it won't dim the screen.
Now I have to figure out how to make it do this without car home open.

Did anyone ever find a solution?
Settings > Applications > Development > Stay Awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)
This is true but the screen still dims.
Still searching for an answer.
I had the same problem. After some searching I found this over on android forums and it's working like a champ for me. Hope this helps! (I don't think there's any system setting that will change this, unfortunately)
Download the app "Setting Profiles Lite". Lite is free and only lets you create 1 rule at a time, but multiple profiles (Actions you want it to do when the rule is happening)
1. Create a profile that simply changes the screen time out to "Screen Never Times out" Save it as whatever name you want.
2. Create a rule. Under conditions add a condition for Battery that when "plugged into any charger", hit OK. Now add an action to Activate Profile, and choose the profile you made above.
Bam! When plugged into the charger, the screen timeout goes to never, and the screen stays bright, unplug it and time out goes back to whatever you had it set at!
I have been using this for about 10 min now so I'm a rookie but it seems to be working! Make sure if you screw around in it that you don't accidentally disable the rule (I did that because I tried to make another and the Lite won't let you make 2 rules, and it disabled the first one. Just had to long press to enable it again)

THANK YOU!
From time to time I've searched for a solution to this annoying problem, but came up dry. For months I've been using the built-in Power Control widget to manually toggle between Auto-bright when on battery, and Full-bright when on the charger, but NEVER AGAIN
I mean, if your phone's on the charger, why wouldn't you want to take advantage of the plentiful juice pouring out of the charger to power the screen? (Maybe, and I don't know if this is true, but maybe the battery will charge slightly slower with the display sucking a bit more of the available 0.5 max amps over USB.)
IMO, this problem is really worthy of being solved by a standalone app, apart from the more general Settings Profile Lite (but now that it's solved... I don't feel the urge to code it anymore.)
ChargeBright app
FWIW, I did finally end up writing my own app to solve this problem. Check out the ChargeBright app @ market.android.com if interested.
Settings Profile Lite was overkill since I only needed to tweak one setting: display brightness when charging. ChargeBright saves resources and is better tailored to the specific task in any case.

2 years later and this still works like a charm. THANKS.
This is something that has been bothering me for quite some time. I cannot set the phone time accurately, and by this i mean by seconds.
For me, the expected behaviour was that when i set the hour and minute and press ok, the clock would be set and start at the 0 second mark.
Is there a solution, other than rooting the phone, to accurately set the clock ?
Thanks
This isn't a huge problem because everything works but it is an annoying item that seems like it should be able to be resolved. I have a widget created in Zooper for the counts of my sms messages and three gmail accounts. The issue is, that the widget doesn't update unless I turn the phone off and on again. So for example, I get an email and it shows a 1 next to that account. I go in gmail and read it. I press my home button to come back to the screen and the counter is still at 1. This doesn't change to 0 until I turn the phone off and on. It also will go to zero when the the minute changes on my zooper-made clock widget.
Any idea how to get my counts widget to update when I've read or cleared my notifications without having to turn my phone off or wait for the minute to change?
I use tasker for a few things and was hoping there was a way I could just set up a task that when I exit sms or gmail apps I can do a force update, but I haven't figured that out.
Thanks for you help
im facing the same problem dude hope a support would be able to explain
I think it's because zooper widget update value is set once per minute. If you will look closely widget updates when - unlock from lockscreen after some time or every time minute passes. It's solution to prevent battery drain. It don't monitor other states than minute change.
Can that be changed ?
I have changed my preferences on settings>Notifications >watsapp to high importance with sound so that I no longer receive a message preview in a balloon. It works all day however every morning wake up to it having reset itself to urgent which then allows pop up messageson screen.
How can I save these settings without them having being reset everyday. Many thanks
Interesting, I'm actually finding a few things that aren't saving persistently, though I thought they were related to Bluetooth or my car.
Specifically, my car (2017 Challenger with Uconnect) asks about message permissions almost every time it connects, and smartlock asks me if I want to save the device each time. Additionally, I notice the screen timeout settings default back to 15 seconds when I was set at 1 minute.
I'm also plugged into Android Auto when this is happening. So there's a lot of variables. Just posting here so we can see if others have common issues.
