Treo 750. screen & keyboard lock problems...HELP NEEDED

Before, when I pressed the call end button(red button) my screen would go black. This was good because I had keyguard enabled. Now I think one of the apps I installed took the ability to lock the device with this one button.
Is there some kind of registry edit or phone option which can make the call end button lock my device????

have you checked your keyguard and lock settings? what are they set to?

PROBLEM SOLVED. HTC HOME plugin seems to disable some of the effects of pressing the (send) and (end) button. If you enable Dial Lookup on the Today setting it fixes the problem.

Thanks mate, I flashed my treo over a year ago but I don't use him quite alot because of the red button problem. Never thought that the solution was so simple...

Wakeup display just to show the time when pressing a button

Hi all,
Sorry for the cross-post, but I just realized that this is probably the best forum for my question..
I normally don't carry a watch, so I look at my TC to get the time. I would like this funtionality mapped to one of the hardware buttons:
Wakeup the display and show a big clock for a second or two, then turn off the display again. (Preferably, the device should still be locked throughout this.)
Is there any similar software?
Thank's in advance!

hi
i have an x7500 and i use the app called slide 2 unlock. that's the iphone program developed for ppcs. what happens is when i press the power button, the screen comes alive and the 2 most prominent features on the screen are the time (large display) and the slide to unlock the device. i then press the power button again or i leave it to power down on it's own. the same thing happens when a call comes through. i have a bt headset and the screen comes alive. but no app can be launched because the slide 2 unlock button will in fact lock the screen. the only way to unlock it is by unlocking it using the slider.
other's in the forum could have other apps as well. but so far that works for me.
just my 2 cents

Thank you very much, Robson!
Based on your description, I'll keep looking for something that will not interfere when a call comes. Thank's anyway, though!
Anyone else with any ideas?

You can disable the phone options in S2U2 if you want

Thank's, DocteurN! That's pretty close, except if set to 5secs it will turn off the phone after five all the time, not just when Ive pressed the power-button to get the time. Nearly there..

SPB Mobile Shell does this with its now screen. OR SPB Time can do it with its screensaver !
Both must haves anyway imho !

Thank you dmj1973! I'm trying with the SPB apps now.

The SPB apps are great but there is no keylock, as far as I can see..?
Basically, from sleep mode, I just want to push a button to see the today screen or at least the time for a second or two, without unlocking the device.

Which is exactly what I do with S2U2 - I press the power button, glance at the time, then hit it again... Perfect!

Lock screen on my TD 2

I have enabled the AutoLock feature with Diamiond Tweaks, and it is working fine, but is there at way to set a time for autolock for exsamble 30 sek, when the device is on, now it is only working when i push the power buttom and turn off the screen or holding lock key down.

Have you tried S2U2 (Slide 2 Unlock 2)? It's freeware and you can get it here;
http://s2u2.ac-s2.com/
Then there is TouchLockPro, especially for the Topaz Here's the XDA thread;

Have fun

I'd like to know if there is a way to prevent Topaz from autolock on some occasions, e. g. when i have mobipocket on, i don't wanna my phone to autolock. Is it possible?

try this one

Is there a widget or a shortcut that when pressed will lock the phone on the spot?

I have a 10minute delay until the pattern lock screen pops up but what if i wanted to lock the screen right away instead of waiting the 10 minutes, is there a widget or LaucherPro shorcut method to do this?

Go into settings then security and you can reset the delay time

i don't want to reset the delay. i want to keep the 10min delay and have the option to press something to immediately lock the phone.

Yes - found what your looking for!

Yes there is thank goodness. I wanted this myself - tired of pressing the power button to lock the screen. The widget is called Lock Screen Widget from the marketplace. Enjoy - I know I did.

i tried that widget but it doesn't work. just turns the screen off.
i should note that i'm also using "Lock Delay" but even with Lock Delay uninstalled, the Lock Screen widget doesn't work for me.
A lot of people are saying that Lock Delay doesn't work with 2.2 but i'm not having any problems aside from the lock pattern coming up at random times but thats ok, it's only once a while.

pressing the power button works fine for me it locks the screen

we all have different configurations though:
I have Lock Delay to accomplish the following:
1. Pattern Lock only comes on after 10minutes of inactivity
2. Pressing Power button to turn the screen off and then on again will not show the Slide To Unlock screen
This way If i'm going to use the phone on and off during a short period of time (10 minutse), I won't have to keep bothering with sliding to unlock the screen every time i turn the display on.
By default the slide to unlock screen always comes up.

Hmmm. Works for me

Thats exactly what i was thinking lol. As far as the OP idk. i know there are widgets that can turn the lock pattern on and off so if you were to turn off the delay and use that widget that kinda solves your problem

Try switch pro widget

that's what a lot of people have probably but the problem that i see with that is that you have to slide to unlock and pattern unlock EVERY time you turn the display back on. am i correct? because i currently have Lock Delay (app) that disables both slide and pattern locks during the first 10 minutes so i don't have to mess with them every time i want to use the phone.
SwitchPro doesn't work, it only brings me to the unlock settings screen, pressing back will cancel out of the lock.

Lock screen widget works for me

switch pro widget has that option and many more for the power widget

[Q] Timeout on Lockscreen

Hi there,
I changed my lockscreen just to swype to unlock, but everytime I start / activate the phone with the home button it tooks just a blink and it turns off again. I set the normal timeout to 1 min, but I can't find any setting for the lockscreen. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution for this unsightly issue...?
Thanx and greetings
