slide 2 lock

how do i enable slide 2 lock on the phone when it's power off or back light goes off? it seems the only way to get slide 2 lock is to hit start then tap lock....

I think this is what you are looking for. Its what i use and works perfect! my screen locks when my backloight goes out or i hit my power button to turn it back on.

Also Got it from this thread in the software forum. Good place to look for good apps and utilities for the TP2
There are also a couple other auto lock screens here too but the link above is what i use.

Its in the start --> settings --> system area of the phone and its called smart lock. To autolock when backlight goes off check the suspend lock box

do you know if there's a way to lock when pressing the power button slightly?

thats what it does the hit the power button to turn the backlight off and when you turn it back on it will be locked

i just soft reset and now it hangs on the windows screen and won't boot. not sure what to do.

This program WAS working great for me earlier this evening, and I was happy with it.
But it randomly stops working (I'll hit the power button and then hit it again, and it won't have locked the device).
>_> Any thoughts / solutions?

You can also manually lock (with WM6.5) by pressing and holding the end/home key, unless you've assigned it to something else (see Settings --> Personal --> Buttons). Additionally under Settings --> Lock you can check the "Prompt if phone unused for" box and set a time (i.e. the same time as you set the backlight off), but you then do have to enter a PIN or password of your choice, I believe (which I do anyway for security).
I tried various apps such as S2U2, but found them excessively battery heavy or buggy, although Touchlock pro had loads of settings (including using stylus, keyboard, g-sensor etc.) which I possibly didn't configure right!

thanks for the feedback, i do notice sometimes this does not work...i've switched to s2u2 to see how it goes.

I want my display off when my screen is tilted open

I used to keep my Kaiser tilted open on my desk next to my computer monitor at work with the display off. Seems you can't do this with the Rhodium. Any cabs out there that will allow me to turn off the screen with the slide open?

You mean the phone being in sleep mode?
I just slid mine out and tilted it and pushed the power button to shut the display and it did.

It turns off when it is not plugged in, but I have my Tilt plugged in at work, and tilted up so I can see it, ad it will not turn off, only dim and lock.

Go to your power settings and adjust settings there

I did, adn nothing happens. When on external Power: "Dim display after 5 mins" "Turn off power after 10 mins"

Might be silly but make sure you click "ok" on top right. Try soft reset maybe?

I have not had this particular issue on my rhodium but when i was using my tp1 i sometimes had to check the boxes, click ok, then go in and uncheck the boxes, click ok, then go in again and recheck them and hit ok again or the settings wouldn't stick, give that a try and see if it'll work. If you have any other backlight control software chances are it overrides the built in power management also.

To disable keyboard opening from powering on/waking phone
Add this key to your registry under:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"SlideWakeup"=dword:0
Be sure to soft reset after making the edit.
Works on my AT&T Tilt 2 like a charm

PS: this also allows me to slide the keyboard, then power on the TP2 and/or with on then slide open and power off either way

No longer goes into Landscape

My Desire has stopped going into landscape, Is there a way you can turn it off incase i accidentally did that. The only app i recently installed is LogMeIn.
Has anybody got any Ideas?

Have you checked if Settings -> Sound and display -> Display settings section -> Orientation is checked? If it is, uncheck it and then check it again. If it still doesn't work, reboot the phone and if it STILL doesn't work ... beats me...

Exactly what it was, thanks so much mate!

rebooting
Newbie question
When you say reboot do you mean factory reset?

No, i mean turn the phone off and then turn it on.
For example - hold the Power button on top, until a menu appears, choose power off. when it shuts down, power it on and that's a reboot.

Lol thought u meant hold down power press left tight up down square triangle etc etc

Well if you continue like that you'd do Desirality ... which would possibly brick your phone
// end offtopic
To keep it on topic - you can also take out the battery

[Q] Trouble with locking the screen.

Hey guys,
When I woke up today my phone had some serious issue.
I can turn the phone on and off with the power button, but when the phone is lit and I want to
lock the screen, the button does not work. I can hold it in and get to the power meny, but when
i just tap it, nothing happens...
Do any of you know why it occour? Havent done anything unusual...
Clearly the button works, because I can enter the Power meny...
/Thanks

are you trying to turn the screen off on lock screen? if so just double tap the screen

Is the phone stock or modded (rooted, custom ROM, etc.)?

Did you try to reboot device already?
Sent from HTC One m8, or maybe not anymore

Yes, the first thing I tried.

I'm not completely clear on the issue. If you just tap the power button while the screen is on, it should turn off the screen (which in turn also locks it). If holding the power button until you get the power menu, the choices should just be Power Off, Restart, and Airplane Mode. I don't think there is an option to lock screen on that menu on a stock ROM (and actually no custom ROMs that I know of).

Sorry for the delay on the answers.
It's not that i can't access the power menu, that works fine.
But if you want to lock your screen, you just tap the power buttom and that dosent work.
And I just found out that the screen NEVER shouts down!? It's always on.
When I reeboot the phone, the screen darkens, but all the icons on the desktop is visible and when i try
to tap the screen it acts like its off!?
Can't even think of whats wrong with this now.
The power buttom clearly works, but i can't lock or shout down the screen.
It's like its always on!?

I'm having this exact same issue.

My solution
Obviously this is much too late for the OP, but for anyone who might still stumble on this thread (it is still one of the top hits on Google for this issue), I got mine working again by rebooting the phone, after first disabling fast boot in the settings. (Settings > Power > Fast boot - I should note my phone is the HTC One Mini 2, but I assume the M8 isn't too different in this regard).
I had previously attempted rebooting from the power options (both restart and power off), but this hadn't fixed the problem.

The Fast boot option in Settings was removed from the M8 as of Lollipop.
Even when the M8 had this option, it did not effect "Restart" in power options. At least on the M8, restart is always a try restart; and Fast boot only affected the "power off" condition.

[Q] Universal Switch enabled, screen unresponsive

So I activated Universal Switch on S6 Edge to check it out, something went wrong in the settings (long story short, got a pop up while setting it up), now screen unresponsive.
It works, I just get this blue horizontal line scanning the screen and nothing else but the power button and home button works. Tried safe mode, no bueno. How can I disable US feature without resetting to factory or at least no data wipe (if possible!)?
Android 5.0, rooted with pingpong, no custom recovery, knox 0x0.
All help is appreciated.

Same
[The exact same thing just happened to me someone please help

Fixed!
The way I had fixed this is by holding down the power button, both up and down sound buttons, and the home button until it restarted. When the device turned back on it gave the option to turn the setting off. Hope it helped!

how to turn off universal switch
hit home button 3 times

Thanks alot
It worked buddy

It doesn't give me the option to turn it off

Hi,
I have been struggling with Universal Switch on a Samsung S5 Neo. I switched it on, but was never able to switch it off again.
These are findings so far:
-> Did a factory reset using "Sound Up", "Home" and "Power" button simultaneous.
-> The device comes back and wants to configure itself again.
-> I restored my settings from Google, but this immediately brought back "Universal Switch"
-> Factory Reset again and configured the device, but told Google that I want to use it as a "New Device".
-> Now I can use my device in a proper way.
-> In Google Play Store I find all my Apps which were linked to my account and reinstalled them and I am back in business again.
-> Took me half a day to sort this out.
The programmer who designed and programmed this should be hung and shot and poisoned, because this is absolute Crapware.
Hope this helps for all the others who are suffering.

You can also push the home button three times and it should turn it off.

thank u ur the best

Ok, so i have exactly the same problem except my home button doesn't work
Anyone one know how to sort this without having to take it in to a store?

I was faced with this problem before and looked everywhere and couldnt find a fix. This was a while ago. So I dont remember what I did to clear it. I was cleaning off the screen and touched the home button as I was wiping it off and the problem began again.... I just came across your comment because all the others failed. I pressed the home button 3 times quickly and the blue lines stopped scrolling. In addition, I went over the accessibility and I turned off the "Universal Switch" option as much as the option allows. I hate this function. I do not use it or need it (for my needs). I hope I can remember what to do next time this happens. I swore to myself I would remember last time, but apparently that wasnt a guarantee. This time, I will write it down and put is somewhere I know I will find it next time I see these nefarious blue lines scrolling. Hopefully I wont see it again since I disabled it more than it was to begin with. Thank you ever so for commenting. You saved me a lot of frustration!

great fix
