Lock device does no work on Touch HD

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.

Add auto lock to the power button?

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.

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
Otherwise try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5875933&postcount=5
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

True Lock Screen

Problem: You get a call, which wakes up the phone. You reach in your holster to grab the phone. Things press on the screen and it launches apps while you are picking up the phone.
Solution: A true lock screen where you need to slide a slider before the touch screen becomes enabled.

The stock HTC lock screen already has the slide to answer feature. If you want a lock screen similar to that, then there is S2U2 that is a very good choice.

At first I was thinking I couldn't use it because the key was already assigned to voice command, and I use that all the time. Then I realized that that's assigned to the Send key, not the End key, and the Long Press End key toggles Airplane mode by default, which I would seldom need. Re-assigning the Long Press End to toggle the lock screen is perfect.
Tap or press Start > Settings > All Settings > Personal (tab) > Buttons > Long Press End Key (tab). Choose Lock device in the radio buttons and tap OK. Press and hold the End key to lock the keys and screen.

Not having a lock screen is not a problem when receiving a call because it automatically pops up the call screen, which has its own lock slider, or I can push the Send button to accept. The problem comes when I get a text or e-mail and it wakes up the phone. When I pull it out of my horizontal belt holster, I have to touch the screen, and since the touch screen is now alive, I launch apps I didn't intend to. With the lock screen, it remains locked until I am ready to check out the text or email message. I don't even need to mess with the slider. Simply removing the stylus causes the lock screen to exit. The lock screen doesn't change the behavior when a call comes because the phone automatically launches the same call screen it always did, and closes the lock screen so I don't have to deal with that when I answer calls, so I can still accept the call quickly. This is perfect!
Thanks TONS!

[Q] Wake > Bypass Home Lock Screen > Remain in App

So far i'm loving my new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (i317m). I've modified the setting to bypass the lock screen when i click the Home button.
The issue i'm seeing now is the screen is blanked, i click the home button, i can see the app i was using before the blanking BUT the screen promptly flashes taking me to the Home screen.
Is there any way to have the lock screen removed AND to have the home button NOT take me to the home screen IF when the home button is pressed the screen was blanked? A simple IF conditional.
Thanks for any help.

I'm trying to understand your AND statement "AND to have the home button NOT take me to the home screen IF when the home button is pressed the screen was blanked"
The first statement is easy, just pick no lock in settings but + AND statement?

Thanks so much for the response.
Yes the "AND" part is the tough part and the reason i asked it. I will clarify. The situation is this. I am well aware of the option Lock Screen >> Screen Lock | None. This was a useful option when i discovered it some time back as now when my unit blanks and i go to hit the home button to wake it up, the unit wakes and take me automatically to the Home screen bypassing the annoying Lock Screen. Terrific.
For those of us who have this option set will quickly notice an issue. If, for instance, one had Google Talk app running before the screen blanked, and later returned to wake up the unit by clicking the Home button (expecting to continue within GTalk), he will briefly see the GTalk app and then it will disappear and will now see the Home screen. One must now navigate back to the app.
I would like the Home button, if pressed to wake up the unit, to remain in the current application. This would be similar to the Power Button functionality. I'm hoping there is a "fix" for this nuisance.
UPDATE: It seems Samsung recognized this nuisance / bug and has corrected it within 4.1.2 but sadly it wont be available thru my Carrier for at least another 6 months (Canada is a bit slow with updates).
** I still would appreciate any work around in the meantime

UPDATE:
I neglected to mention i had the settings of S-Voice modified disabling opening S-Voice if the double click of the Home button occurred. I did this to speed up any Home button clicks.
I just discovered if i have this settings enabled it appears to prevent the click of the Home button to wake from exiting the existing app. The prob now is my Home button takes 1 sec (as opposed to 0.4 secs) to snap back to home when pressed. Sheesh.
Ugly but it is a start.

Issue with lockscreen!

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
