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 currently enjoy the slide to open default home screen when you turn your phone on, but I wish there was a way for an application that locked the screen with either a pattern or a code after a long period Of time like after an hour or so. Is this possible? What does anybody know of an app that will do this? Thank you

Try this:

EDIT: On the other hand, this will not change your lock method, so maybe it's not what you want...
I believe this functionality is built in to ICS but the longest it will wait is 30 minutes.
If the screen times out then it will not lock immediately but if you actually manually turn the screen off then it will lock immediately.

He's looking to have slide to unlock within the first 10 minutes, and pattern to unlock after 10 minutes.
You're talking about delay with NO screen lock (not even slide) which can lead to pocket dialing or whatever.
Hi folks,
I find 15 seconds a little short for display timeout and feel that 30 seconds is a bit wasteful and probably uses a little more battery than required. Is there any app out there that will let me set the screen timeout to 20 or 25 seconds? what i've seen on the marketplace lets me go 15 30 and then up to minutes etc..
Any help appreciated
Im on stock 4.04 and unrooted
Cheers,
Mick
Screen Timeout Widget lets you set anything from 1 second to 60 minutes and every second between that.
have you tried it? the sliders seem to start around the one minute mark?

Guys,
My company-policy makes me use a pin code to unlock the phone. In the past I used a screen off and lock app. There I used to check permissions for screen off...
so when I touched the icon, the screen would turn of and locked the phone.
Since ICS it seems to clash with my exchange policy, leaving me to enter my pincode EVERY time I unlock the phone while I've set my exchange policy on 10 minutes...
So I thought to use another screen off app, but it seems those apps have a delay (something about ics security). This could lead to pressing the soft buttons and waking the device in the 5 seconds (or so) delay.
Three questions:
1. Is it possible to have the two policies (exchange and screen off and lock) next to eachother without having to enter the pin every single time?
2. Is there an app which doesn't have the delay?
3. Is it possible to adjust a value or something to cut the delay?
many thanks in advance!
This has been annoying me lately but I don't know when it started. I'm running 5.1.1, using fingerprint lock (tried also with pin lock, same thing), with a 10 minute delay of locking after screen off. For some reason, in the lock screen I no longer have access to quick settings, even when the screen isn't pin/fingerprint locked (within the 10 minutes). Was this changed on purpose for "security purposes" and now even when you don't want the lock screen protected, you have no access to quick settings?
Is it just me? Or is that the way it's meant to be/has always been?
