Diffrent Lock - Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other

I am wondering if there is a way to lock the phone automatically and unlock without a pin but a different unlock key( the default is "*")

What type of smartphone do you have? On the T-Mobile Shadow, there is an option for a manual lock that turns on everytime you slide the phone down.

I am on HtC Vox S710. I wonder mortscript will do what I wanted?

Keypad locking sequence

Is it possible to change the keypad locking sequence on an S710? The kids have found out how to unlock it?
You can put a pin or password on it which has to be entered every time you want to unlock it
Settings --> Security --> Device Lock and set it up in there

Auto Lock on stand-by

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

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:

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

HTC Fuze.. cant unlock, touchscreen broke

i have an htc fuze.. i lock the keyboard and have to slide to unlock.. i dropped the phone and the touch screen doesnt work anymore.. so now keyboard is locked and i cant slide the unlock thing on the screen to get to phone.. is there a way to unlock the keyboard without using touchscreen so i can use phone?
thanks for help
Get ceregeditor, connect to a pc and run it. Change the 'enabled' value for hklm/software/microsoft/shell/lockscreen from 1 to 0 and soft reset. I think that's the reg key you want.
You can also use MyMobiler.
It's a program that allows you to control your phone from your computer. Should still be freeware..

is are a way to disable the regular HTC lockscreen but...

I want to enable pattern lock but I want to disable the HTC lockscreen.
Right now if I enable the pattern lock and if I wanted to unlock my phone, I still see the regular htc drag circle to unlock before it goes to the pattern screen. So I'd basically have to lock screens that I have to unlock.
Is there away around this?

Screen lock type - Swipe/PIN/Password/Pattern problem

Hi, few days ago my standard Screen lock type = PIN&Fingerprits changed without my involvement to Swipe&Fingerprits. When I want to change it back to PIN&Fingerprints, it "works" that way that it can be changed in Settings/Lock screen and security, but in reality when I swith off or restart the phone, I can unlock the pohone with Swipe or Fingerprints, no PIN (the same is with Pattern and Password), i.e. only Swipe or Fingerprits is the unlocking way regardless what is set in Settings/Lock screen and security/Screen lock type. All updates incl.security are the latest ones. Any idea what is causing this? Thx
I think when you reboot the phone, it forces you to use a certain unlock method it deems most secure, all subsequent unlocks after that one should be the way you set it
