device lock???

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?

Autolock

Hello,
I am looking for a program that automatically locks my touch pro as soon as I put it in standy, with the on/off button. Because normally my phone is on vibrate and when I take him out of my pocket again it has typed text messages, called people etc etc.
Thanks!
Bob

Search for S2U2, Pocketshield, Throttle Lock, Touch Pro Lock... There are plenty of these programs on XDA.

You can also use AdvancedConfig to enable autolock if you don't want to install any 3rd party software.

I hate to report that yes, you are lol. It's under the "Screen" set of options in Advanced Config. Once you enable it, it's exactly wat ur looking for, no need for other battery draining 3rd party apps lol

since this thread is already started, i didn't want to start another one. does anyone know of any way (like tweak) to prevent the built-in autolock feature from minimizing all programs? for example, i'll be on opera, have to get sumwhere quickly so I press the power button to put on standby and enable the autolock, and when I turn teh screen back on, the TF3D Home screen is showing, and opera will be minimized. can get pretty annoying if ur in the middle of doing something important on the phone lol

I'm not seeing it either. Version 3.3 and only thing under screen related to lock deals with the backlight.

Whew!! I thought I was going nuts. I was sure that it was not there. I was using NATF's 2.2 ROM and installed ADV config 3.3. There was not an auto lock option. However, this week I flashed to RRE's v4.4 ROM which has adv config preinstalled and there is an option for Auto Lock and to set the delay. I am pretty sure that they were both version 3.3 so i am not sure what happenend.
Oh well. It is there now.
cj

i am using pdacorner rom v17, and in advcfg, there isn't any autolock, in screen, What should i do

In ACT 3.3.0.0 under Screen, the 4th item is called "Auto device lock". Put it in Enable and you have what you want

I'm not seeing the option for 'Auto Device Lock' either, and I'm running Advanced Config 3.3.0.0 as well.

I have downloaded advanced config 3.3 from schaps and it does not give me the option to set the autolock either. I have also used a version packaged with RRE's 4.4 ROM and that did have the option. So I must be doing something wrong but i am not sure what.
But if you want to set it you can always try Diamond Tweak. that gives you the autolock option also.
Hope this helps
cj

Yes, thanks very much for the tip about Diamond Tweak. That worked perfect.

The only problem with this autolock feature is that it's still pretty easy to answer a call inadvertently. Ohter screen locks make it more difficult to answer a call by accident.

I can't get AutoLock Screen v 1.7 to start... I've installed it, soft-reset, made the settings, pressing the "Cancel" button...
...and my OMNIA is getting locked with the "traditional" way, the left bottom button "Locked" appearing and if I'm pressing it another button in the middle of the screen appears.
WHERE IS THE BLOODY AutoLock Screen v 1.7??? Why doesn't starts?

You probably need to edit .cpr files in windows folder:
LS_LockScene_*.crp

theres not much to play with yet. You can change the graphics or position of elements, but nothing else. Only if somebody could make an app to show big battery meter or something.

What i understood, CPR is of XML format. I agree with ibrythill for change the order or position. But i was trying to compare it with S2U2 and trying to think about developing more options into it.
But thanks for the feedback, i will surely try to modify something in Lock Screen, which be usefull to all.
TO end with, just wanna know, is modifying and replacing .CPR file similar to what we do in case of Start Menu or Titanium file?
Ash

i would love to be able to control music from the lock screen or have a big battery meter like s2u2..
that would be pretty sweet

It would be great if you could figure out how to adjust backlight brightness in the lock screen. In bright areas I can't hardly tell where the slider lock is, or let alone if my screen is even on.
Good Luck!

Have taken the ideas into consideration.
Do keep posting with bright ideas

I wanna see the weather on the lock screen like in s2u2

Ash

It would also be nice to have some sort of "power save mode" like s2u2, battery life is so much better with s2u2 then with WM lock.

I am using S2U2 on BSB 6.5 Rom.
Although not 100% compatible I found it better because the is the slide to answer feature you can set to always. On the Windows lock the slide to answer only shows up when the phone is locked and you get the ugly windows pop-up when not locked. So this is a useful feature you may consider.
Also when the screen is locked with the windows lock the caller ID wasn't working and it is with the latest s2U2 fix.

This may help...
Start - Settings - System - Power - Backlight Tab
and Untick the "Backlight is always dim while device is locked" option.

See if this helps any....

I don't seem to have this tick box... and I tried using advanced config, but with no results.

Windows Mobile 6.5 - Lock Screen is slow

Hi,
I have installed the latest WM6.5 Build 21725 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513605) on my HTC Touch Pro.
But I have a problem (which occurs on all tested roms) with the lock screen: I lock the device. The lock screen appears fast and is immediately responsible. But when I go to suspend mode (by waiting or pressing the power key) and then let wake up the device, I have always to wait a lot of time until the lock screen is responsible to unlock the device. This is very annoying and I want to fix that "bug". Can anybody help me?

Same here. And does anyone know how to remap one of the softkeys to lock the screen? Instead of have to push start >> lock?

i had this with a 6.5 rom
what i did was after i turn backlight on i quickly press the hangup buttton and then the slide works fine
this may have to do until the rom becomes more stable

Thanks for your tip, but it doesn't work

Sorry this was gibberish

then im sorry i cant help
all i can do is ask youve tried this on a 6.1 based rom

this is a knowing trouble because of the beta
Hey pilot... this is a real kick on the ass cause nobody answer this many times users needs a third party app to lock their devices... i didnt lock my device... i just turn it off and disable all the buttons you see... its like a locked simply and crapy phone function.

well i know it looks good que but the problem i had was after a while in standby the buttton would shift to any side however i know the phone wasnt crashed due to the little arrow animatiuons kept going as normal all i did was tap the phone down button and then it worked as it should mind you this was davie ducks v8 on the hd

I figured out that the lock screen is immediately responsible if you set a password. But I don't want to slide AND then type a password

just slide the time bar at the below screen before slide the lock :| i got this bug after upgrading into a 6.5 rom :| now it's done by myself :">

remember at the time of the OPs question 6.5 was very buggy
a lot of the latest releases are a lot better

Laggy
I also have this laggy problem when clicking the right key to bring up unlock screen, takes a while for the unlock screen to appear.
Was looking at ThrottleLock which looks good, but not compatible with 6.5.
I hate iphones so don't want S2U2 !!
Looking forward to update

Correction
Correction, just tried an older version of throttlelock app 0.6, and it works with windows mobile 6.5

Is there some way to just turn the lock screen off? I hate how slow it is on my backup phone, an LG KS20

You may have it in settings-personal, if not, go to HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\lockscreen, and change 'enable' from 1 to 0. Then, you'll have to old-style lockscreen. If you want to see the lockscreen settings applet, then change 'ShowLockScreenPicker' from 0 to 1. You may need to soft reset (but you may not).

Thanks Ted! Works perfectly, for some reason the Lock Screen settings applet won't show, but that's not important as the first registry key solves my problem.

Yeah one way is to set back original WM5x/6/6.1 LockScreen but I have solved it another way... Maybe you have noticed that the new WM6.5 lock screen has delay ONLY on first run so what about put a shortcut to "\Windows\Startup" to lock device on startup (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJDeviceLock - working also with WM6.5)? I mostly don't need to use the device in first seconds after startup so everything necessary can load to memory and then after unlocking my device is everything relatively fast ;-) BTW you can set lockings with tool named Smart Lock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032).

The problem with the 6.5 lockscreen is that it kills gwes.exe (at least in my experience). Do a soft reset, open up a task manager and look at gwes.exe. With dotfred's, I'll start at maybe 15 MB, and as soon as I open the lockscreen (I get the delay, too), the gwes usage jumps by about 6 MB, and none of the ram is released. It makes my device buggy over time. Gwes.exe is bloated enough with 6.5.3 roms, you really don't need the lockscreen killing it like that.
I don't know if it's an issue on a stock rom, but the cooked ones have problems. In the 6.5 cooking thread, Da_G said a while ago that it had to do with how most kitchens compile roms. They compress all files the same way, and ignore flags in the dsm's that say whether or not a file should be compressed. He's said that cooking an uncompressed rom fixes the problem. I've tried making a cab of the lockscreen and running it that way, but I still get the initial delay and the 6 MB ram-tax on gwes.exe, so whatever is breaking the lockscreen during cooking because of the forced compression isn't in the lockscreen packages. Anyway, the lockscreen is cool, but I personally hate what it does to gwes.exe, so I don't use it.

What your saying about cooked vs. stock is likely correct, as I had briefly owned an HTC Pure (ATT branded Diamond 2), which shipped with 6.5, and there were absolutely no delays with the lock screen. On the other hand, I still haven't flashed 6.5 onto my X1, so I don't know if its just that my LG can't handle the lockscreen with its 400mhz qualcomm.

Problem with CORE PLAYER

Hi I have the following problem. When I listen to music and when the screen turned off and locked when the music starts to break. When set to be permanently on display do not have these problems, but the battery runs out quickly. Is there a solution to this problem? btw WinMo 6.5 stock ROM 1.66.479 , manila 2.5.1921 and RADIO 2.07.51.22

search for the "keep music playing.cab" fix for it. soft reset after install. i used it on my tp2 and you would be able to hit the sleep button and still listen to music. on the hd2, you just have to let the screen sleep itself.

i know what your talking about now. it has happened to me many times before. i had to reinstall about 3x for it to work right.

Have you tried manually locking the screen first ie start ,
lock coreplayer should continue to play

Hi. Find a little app called "Screen off", install it and then - move the icon on a top. When You want to switch off screen (during listening to the music) - tap left top corner of the screen and next - tap the "Screen off" icon. That's all.

TNX il try all that

you can also try third party lockscreens that allow applications to run while screen is off, like s2u2 and pocketshield.

I was try s2u2 but I don't like it I solved problem by instaling tcpmp

That's true, I cancelled my S2U2 after 1 month of using. I've had too many problems with this application. The best one for me is CHT lockscreen. Simply the best! If You have CHT on a board - means You have CHT lockscreen as well. So why dont to use it? Save ROM memory and enjoy nice design.

Do you think that CHT lockscreen will help me to solve problem wwith core player see post #1
