My device now locks itself after a very short time and I have to 'Unlock' it. I cannot figure out where to uncheck this and its driving me crazy. Can someone assist?
Use a regedit program and go to the following value
Automatically lock your Diamond --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable change it to 0 and do a soft reset.
Auto lock function ?

Not sure I'm understanding your problem. Did you go into Settings -> System -> Key Lock and configure it to lock the buttons when the screen is off?

Please provide more info such as what Rom version you are running and list of softwares installed. Both of these can affect this type of issue.

I just noticed this on my ELFIN. Same symptoms, very frustrating and I don't want to hard reset. What do I need to look for in NOTIFICATIONS??
Any help is appreciated.
After some further searching I found it may be a setting in Battery Status (which Im using). In fact the "Lock Device" option was checked. I have NO idea how that happened but am happy I finally figured it out.
Hey there,
Has anyone seen a cab for WM6.5 to add the "Auto Lock" on sleep?
I've seen this in WDM's 6.5 Vogue ROM but not in any others...
Thanks in advance

the only way i found that it works is when you add a password lock, it will automatically lock after each sleep then

Hey there,
I've seen that before in another thread so I tried it out but it didn't seem to work. Should that be a Decimal Value or Binary?
GG
the key is preexisting and you only need to change the value. it is a decimal value.

Anything new here? I've still not found anything that will do this...
Dear jlavoie registry change helped me no need to install third party app. Just great.
I'm using NFSFAN's 6.5V4 ROM and that key isn't in my registry... i wonder why.
I've also tried DeviceLock which kinda works, but the probably being if you don't wait for a while when unlocking the phone, you end up having to unlock twice.
I'd imagine this is the downfall of locking on wakeup and not on sleep...
I wonder if A_C would know how to do this...

Since some of us don't seem to have that registry key, and adding one doesnt seem to work, can you cab up that registry setting for us? or export it so we can import it?
Thanks

...you can try this one it works for me. After installation do a soft reset then go to settings/system and you will find the devicelock icon. From there you can setup the autolock...cheers!

When you run this do you have a 3-4 second delay between when you turn your phone on when the lock screen pops up?
I am, running NFSFAN 6.5 v6r2 rom on a sprint touch, and am getting that delay when using this program or any other program I can find. It seems the best way would be to lock the device when you turn it off, or whenever the backlight turns off, but I can't figure out how to do that.
Any ideas?
I was using devicelock for a little bit also, it wouldnt delay but it would make me unlock it twice... which was anoying.
I haven't found the lock on sleep setting on adv. conf 3.3 yet... I'll keep looking.

Is it possible to activate your lock screen by clicking on the sleep button? (Just like S2U2) At this moment I've got it the original way by holding the end call button. I hope there is a simple way to do that, maybe a cab. file?
I'm using a stock win 6.5 ROM.
Here, this should work. its better to install in main memory. once installed, it will appear in your start menu, which u can then configure to suit your needs.
Hope it helps, let me know!

Search for HKCU/ControlPanel/Backlight/ set Autodevicelockenabled to 1.
It's one of the first options, lock on standby. The problem with the reg edit is that it locks on backlight dim and uses the winmo call lock.
tried this but when i am using the camera or video, or playing a video it locks.
how can i avoid this.
There is a field that says 'DO Not Lock if runing' what do i write in this field?
Thanks

For that you need a registry editor like total commandar or resco registry, also, SK tools comes with a registry editor.
I use Lock Device....Works very nice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542482
Try this
I'm using something called AutoLock Screen v 1.7E. It just works, no reg tweakes or anything like that. It lockes the device when it goes to sleep, when you press the power button to turn off the screen, it even does in call lock... but I admit it would be nice if it actualy turned off the screen when in call rather then just locking it...
I recomed you use this version because the newest ones have the tendancy to double lock your device...

Drives me crazy that microsoft wouldent think to program the lock to automatically come on when put into standby ?
who wants to click start then lock everytime they set there phone down doesnt make any sense i am here to try and find i solution with some help ?
i noticed that if you put a password the lock works perfectly so my idea is to find a way or someone tell me a way to set my phone up with a password then erase that password so it simply does not ask for it after i slide to unlock ?
any ideas.
I prefer TouchLockPro.
there is a cab around here or ppc geeks thats i have used to solve this idiotic problem. dhr lockdevice. try it out works good
her ya go pulled it off my device

You can also program the END key such that a long press will lock the phone. To do so, go into all settings, personal folder, buttons and the long press tab.

I'm looking for a way to increase the automatic screen lock time for the Tab 2 (sch-i705). Does anyone know where I can find this setting in the system.img?
I'm happy with the display turning off automatically after a minute or so, but I want the device to lock after ~15 minutes after the display turns off.
Couldn't find anyone adjusting this setting on any ROM in my searches.

Hi, thanks for the advice. I'm not looking to change the display timeout settings - I would like to keep that short. I'm hoping to increase the lockscreen time. For example, I want the screen to go off after 1 minute, but the device to lock 15 minutes after the display goes off.
I'm assuming since this isn't a standard system setting, it might be adjustable in the ROM/system.img. Anyone know where I could find something like this?

I'm wondering if there are any apps that could simulate what I'm trying to achieve. An app that keeps the tab unlocked, but allows the screen to turn off, would be perfect (as long as it also wasn't somehow sucking up resources or something).
Anyone have any other ideas? Or, better yet, know where I can modify this setting in the ROM?
Maybe moving this thread to the general QA would be a better idea, since this setting probably is particular to Android, not to the Galaxy Tab 2.. Any mods want to do that? Thanks

No need apps. Just go to setting > security > screen lock, select NONE.
Control how long display will turn off in setting > display.
Also, your question above, increase the lockscreen time, is in the same place, screen lock setting. search automatically lock.
Hope it helps

The issue here is that I would still like the device to be locked. I just want it to take longer to lock - ie 15 minutes to lock, but only 1 minute for the screen to turn off. Anyone know if there is a way to modify this at the ROM level?

Yes buddy, if i don't correctly understand what are you saying, there is an option for that in the settings. Just explore the settings once again, i have a different devices, maybe it's in different places.
and yes, if you want "automatically screen lock" setting comes up, you must in pattern/password/pin lock setting, not in slide or none.

The only option I have is to set 'screen timeout' . In order to conserve battery, I'd like the display to shut off after a minute or so.
Unfortunately, the amount of time it takes for the screen to lock, is tied to the display shut off - i.e. if the display shut off is set to a minute, the device will lock about 30 seconds after that, with no way to modify that time.
