How do I get the "Lock Device" application (found on the HTC Home plugin) to automatically lock my device after a pre-set time?
Is there an .exe file I can link to somewhere? I searched my phone and can't find anything that starts this application
Anyone know?
What is the .exe file that runs HTC Home Today Plugin?
I thought the Lock button on the apps tab of HTC Home is the default key/screen lock that comes with Windows.
AFAIK.
If that is the case, I use a program created by Armstrong, where you can set the default lock program to a button. I have mine set where Comm Mgr was. So I always use that to lock my keys/screen after I am done using the phone.
What is the default key/screen lock for windows and how do I run it (manually from file explorer)? I'm trying to build a shortcut.
what you're looking for is found in Slide2Unlock.
HTC home doesn't have that capability to my knowledge.
yes htc home does have it. tap the programs tab and by default it has a "lock device" feature. If it's not there you can add it. It's at the top of the list when you go to add programs. What I want to know is, what is that application and how do I run it outside of htc home?
I am not sure where it is in File Explorer.
Search Devicelock and/or Armstrong
He has a thread that outlines what he does pretty well. I think your answer is in there.

For evaluation only.
I've already tried slide2unlock2. But... I'll try it again. Just to see....
Really, what I want is something that takes me back to the HTC Home home screen after unlocking (not on the last tab i was on)
By HTC Home home screen i mean the home tab.
Hi
I would also like to know a Commandline to lock the Screen with HTC Lock.
Anybody a clue?

I use GPSCycleComputer for the Diamond on my HTC Touch HD (with great success) but due to the way the GPS drivers have been implemented, if I power the THD off, the GPS drops off.
I have done a search within the archive and there was some code which could be written into a program but nothing that appeared to be a standalone application.
I also note that someone has written an application called MagicMobile which is really overkill for what I want. Is it possible to have this as a standalone application?
Thanks
Have you tried turning the screen off? Instead of pressing the power button and suspend the HD, you can use turn the screen off. That way your HTC will still be working.
Really numpty question, how do I do that manually? I can time out the screen using screen/power parameters but would like a shortcut to do this.
I have WkTask which has a an option but I use WAD2 for everything and would like to create a .lnk file to link to from the Apps screen I have.
Thanks in advance
I just flashed my HTC Touch Pro with the latest generic HTC ROM (5.05.405.1 WWE, 03/04/09, radio version 1.11.25.01, protocol version 52.58.25.30U) with the aid of a friend as I'm new to the whole flashing bit, and now I can't lock my screen. Long press end key now just flashes the screen black for a second then goes back to being unlocked. The same thing happens if I configure long press end to pop up a list, and then select lock from there.
Help?
s2u2......
Thanks for the suggestion, and it's definitely not a bad workaround... I was just hoping that someone would have a fix so I can quickly lock it with the button again.
I had the same problem. You can use Spb Mobile Shell. It has a part program name 'Lock Device'
Me too with the new ROM.
But I noticed it after I installed lots of software.
However, if I disable the TF3D and enable the device lock from setting>today, I still able to lock the device from the screen.
Wonder is it:
1) Problem with TF3D in new ROM
2) Software incompatibility causing "long press end key" unable to lock
I use search for the keylock but can't find.
Any genius to help out? Thanx...
Same problem here. With the new ROM it's not locking anymore as it was first possible. I dont want to use another software, this should work!
I am using windows 6.5 which has this 'iphone' type slide to unlock, but it only goes on if i lock it through the start menu. On my stock telus rom it auto locked and had you tap 'unlock' and confirm, which was annoying but turns out useful. In my pocket my phone now seems to like to call people and take pictures, so I'm forced to lock it, which is fine, but i wish it would auto lock everytime i put it into standby, is there a way to do this, but not the pin # lock, the slide the bar lock screen?

There is a setting in the S2U2 that will enable the lock when the backlight goes off... also you can edit the registry so that the autolock will come up like it did on 6.1.
I assume you like the wm6.5 automatic lock when suspend. If that is the case download smart lock
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/06...-of-your-default-windows-mobile-6-5-lock.html
and set the setting wm6.5 lock and and suspend lock. after configured, hold end key for 10 seconds to activate it first time.

I installed the cab, but i dont see the application anywhere, its not in my list of apps, nor can i find it through file explorer...any help?
If you installed Smart Lock it will show up in Settings>System>Smart Lock. I know took me a while before I figured that one.
i got it. but it never does anything...
goto the registry and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 1... that will enable the windows lock when you press the button at the top of the phone.
It is located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd
Make sure your reset your phone after you make the change.
sorry, I'm new to WinMo, what's a program I can use to edit my registry
Resco file explorer has a great reg editor!

Hi AstronusX
Do you know where else smartlock can be downloaded from, mirrors perhaps?
The link posted wont allow me to download for some reason.
I got smartlock also and edited the registry settings but still nothing happens. Any ideas?
Map the top key to launch DeviceLock.exe in the Windows folder using this program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
It will still retain the screen shutoff function, but will also activate the lock.

I just installed smartlock without registry edit, and it works fine on my HD2.
(Only changed the settings in program itself). Maybe the combination the problem

Hi everyone
Is there a way to create a shortcut to DEVICE LOCK? I'd like to put a shortcut as a quick launch but I've searched the whole device and don't seem to see an actual executable to launch the lock screen. Is this possible at all somehow?
Thanks very much in advance for the advice!
I know this may not be what you are after,
however, if i put my device into standby (short press hang up key) it locks the device
also im not sure if it is ROM specific but on Miri 15.1 if you enter the start menu there is a lock icon on the bottom left...
Sorry if i couldnt help

I've got the Left SoftKey on the Homescreen set as "Lock" which simply links to a lockscreen.exe program. So from the home screen I just press Lock, instead of using the "Start Menu/Lock" option.
If you want to configure something like this drop the Lockscreen.exe into the Windows folder and then configure the Left SoftKey to point to it.
Alternatively, you could add it as a QuickLaunch link if you prefer that for some reason.

I am using S2U2, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668415 as my choice of lockscreen. It has settings that allow one to lock the screen when it goes blank/black.
So when I press the End/Power On button i.e. the extreme right button, it blanks the screen and S2U2 will kick in in the background.
For the left hand button, I have assigned it for rotating the screen to landscape.

To set the Lock (or any Link) as the Left Soft-Key on the Homescreen, change the following key in the Registry:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
Default: Lock
Open: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\LockScreen.lnk
(or wherever you have the Link)
You could also use the Cookie home tab app. Besides the many other options it provides, you can add a lock screen button on the main screen and even modify your actual lockscreen.

I know this and have used it a lot. Not anymore though, since I don't really need it.

Nice, but I have no "\Keys\112" in there. I looked with Resco Registry. Thanks anyway!

Okay I've searched and searched some more but I can't remember/find what thread I saw this in but it basically goes like this...
Use the search mode on the phone and type in "Dock Mode" and this will find the hidden desktop dock mode that is installed on our phones. Then there is an app that can create an icon for that.
1. What thread was this?
2. What is the name of that app? As I'd like to do is make a icon/shortcut to that program.
3. If you're gonna flame me for "this has been asked x many times already" or some other crap like that, please don't bother posting I don't want to deal with you either.
Thanks in advance.
Not sure about creating an icon, but if you go into your Sensation customization and select "Lock Screen" you can edit which programs are quick-launched by clicking on the "Settings" button at the bottom. You can select Dock Mode from there (I've got it on my lock screen.)

That's not what I'm looking for but many thanks for that tid-bit! Why will dock mode show there in "apps" but not actually show in the apps when placing it as an icon?
Go into the app tray, long hold the dock mode app and put it on your homescreen...

Please forgive me if this sounds foolish but when you say "app tray" do you mean the app grid icon just left of the phone button on the screen?
If you do, I've already tried that but there is no "dock mode" icon in my apps list. The only way I've found it before is by using the search button (magnifying glass - lower right corner on the phone) and manually searching for it.
I should note that I'm a T-Mobile USA user.
I got it under the search function.
I did the search with the capacitive search button and now the dock mode is there for me to click on.
it remains there so...
works out better for me cause I don't want desk dock mode icon on my home screen.
still odd why HTC didn't include the icon for it.
OMGWAFR! Derrr, derrr, derrrr...drool...
No wonder I can't find that topic here, I never read that here! I read it over at the T-Mobile forums. Sorry fellas, my bad!
But to top it off TMo has changed up their forums so you wouldn't even be able to find it there now but a quick google search/cache has the topic I was talking about:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...d=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=www.google.com
And low and behold "Mainspring" posted in there too!
................
So I found the "app" I was looking for and its called "ANY CUT". Very simple to use and will let you create a shortcut for anything.
Nice got my car home icon on there now too so I don't have to use a dock to switch it!

So I've done the OTA update and it removed my Dock Mode from the lock screen. I went to set it again but when I go to Personalize > Lock Screen > Settings > Choose an app to assign to the shortcut - Its not there any longer.
I still have the icon on my phone thanks to Any Cut but now I can't figure out how to get it back onto my lock screen.
Any ideas?
