It's BUILT in ....
Start/ParametersSecurity/Lock
You have to choose how long (60 sec etc) and a code pin to lock .
BUT
I believe there is another option to lock automatically without a pin code.

Simply hold the red button and your phone will be locked.

Er... I think he knows the red button locks the device, he's searching for an auto-lock function.

OK
You're right Kevin, I've searched for an auto lock program.
I've tried the Maniac tools. It's TOTALLY perfect. I like a lot the custom screen saver function.
Many thanks for your hint !

I use smart toolkit from e-native
http://www.e-natives.web.id/
it's free but does more than just auto lock...you can cut and paste several items, adds a task manager bar, lets you take screen shots, it's really cool, but at first it's not very easy to use...however, now I absolutely love it

batterystatus plug in
...I use this mainly to do dynamic overclocking on my Wizard, but it has the option for "device lock on wakeup". when I've finished with my phone, I turn the display off and I'm good to go. Not quite an autokeylock but in use I prefer it...

Getting rid of WM6 backlight dimming?

Hi,
Is it posible to disable backlight dimming in WM6?
I don't want to send the device go to standby, just turn off it's backlight, let me give you an example:
In WM5, where backlight dimming was not implemented yet, i was using this:
Sleep mode settings: both disabled,
Backlight: both enabled (battery and external),
Device lock enabled on today screen.
This way i could 'wake' the device just by tapping on the screen or on any button, and the next step being unlocking it. The battery consumption in this mode is almost the same as with using standby mode. And another big benefit was much more stability in the OS and other applications because the system was never going into real standby. And of corse wifi and other things could remain on while in this 'standby' mode. Also, imagine using S2U2 in this mode...
But.. this scenario is no more posbile in WM6, because backlight does not go off anymore, but instead it dimms, leading to a fast battery consumption.
Moreover, device lock function become useless.
Someone sugested ScreenOff (or blackme) /and ScreenOn. Leaving alone that this would be a 'manual' solution, you can't tap on screen after using screenoff because screen is completely off, not only the backlight, and tapping does nothing.
This topic was first opened in Developement section and is now closed, but if you want to read it, here it is:

thnx alot for your help

Bump to keep this thread alive because I would really rather my phone working like that and have locking being actually useful. Because what's the point of locking your phone when it's gonna power off by itself anyway?
Hope people can come up with a solution soon. Maybe a registry edit to make the dim go to 0%.

thnx for support

I agree we need to get rid of dimming. Because that way S2U2 or any other lock program make no sense. I must first turn on the device then unlock. So locking is not needed because device is turned off.

I believe we should wake up microsoft to make a patch or an update or something about it.
If a general poll be posted i believe all the wm users would like - want this feature.
and maybe the admins as the xda community could declare our statement to microsoft.
What do you think?

thnx for the pool, the results seem favorable to us,
i was thinking, wm 6.5 will be out next year, maybe we are lucky and this will be fixed in it..?

I use S2U2 and I have it set to 'blank screen only' after 10 seconds. This means that by running s2u2.exe (which is mapped to a long press on a hardware button) it leaves the device locked with the screen off, but not suspended.

please, explain me how do you have set s2u2 exactly?
for me not works.
and how do you have mapped s2u2 to long press hardware button?
Thanks

In the s2u2 settings, in the battery power section, 'Power Off in' is set to 10seconds, and 'but Blank Screen only' is set to ON.
I've assigned s2u2.exe to a hardware button using 'spb pocket plus', although if you want a free package which does that, you'll have to search around.

Keep GPS on when HTC Touch HD switched off

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

Keep GPS running when screen is off

I use Ozi Explorer as a Offroad Navigation System with voice guidance - normaly. But at the topaz, gps is off at the moment, the screen is off. (On my former P525, GPS kept running).
Is there a tweak to keep GPS running, without having the screen to be on??

Hello
I ran into the same issue with ozi explorer. And the solution that work for me is:
-In Ozi, from the filemenu, choose "lock/display" then "display off".
-Then press the hardware "hang up/home"button once. (this takes you back to home screen, (of course you can´t see it though because the screen is off ).
-Then hold down homebutton again until the phone vibrates and the keylock is activated.
Now you can´t accidentally press any keys.
To wake it up, simply use the standard button on top of the phone, deactivate key lock. And re-enter Ozi.
For me It works fine, Gps keeps the fix, so i can record tracks while screen is off.
Hope It helps u

I'm using this cab to use the gps when device is in standby. I don't know if it is good for what you want. I've got it from here, in xda-devs forum, but I don't remember the topic. Simply put the exe file to your device (storage card or device) and run it. Press ON and then close it. If you want to revert, just run the program again and press OFF and close it.

..thanks; can you tell me what the exe file exact does???
Thanks,

I must admit I've never had a problem with GPS when the phone goes into standby. I use sportypal for tracking my runs (ugh - that sounds gross, but honestly it's not!!) and it always continues to log my progress even in standby.

Memory Map
I use Memory Map when out cycling. I start the program, then press the power button to switch off the screen. At the end of my journey, I press the power button to re-activate the screen. The whole journey is logged.
I didn't need to add anything to my Topaz, so I guess the problem is with Ozi Explorer.

Is Sportypal installed internally or on storage card?

Help! ( Touch Pro 2, home screen reversion )

Hey all,
First, I'd like to say that so far the Touch Pro 2 is freaking awesome, but It's been doing something since I got it that is driving me up the wall;
So, say I'm in gsplayer or Opera, and for whatever reason, the screen turns off ( I hit the power button, it times out for power conservation, whatever... ). Whenever I turn the screen back on, the Clock in Touch Flow 3D shows up. GAH >_<
Is there any way to just open the phone back up to what I was looking at when the screen turned off? Help me XDA-Developers, you're my only hope!
-AceSmythe

update:
I went to the home configuration and disabled TouchFlo 3D , and it doesn't revert to the home screen when I reset
Does anyone know how to tell TouchFlo 3D to not re-assert itself every time I turn the screen on? I didn't see anything obvious in the registery
Thanks,
AceSmythe

I have a Touch Diamond 2 and i don't have this problem..
When i just hit the power button to turn the screen off, and 1 minute later when i turn it back on, everything is still the same as i left it. All the programs are still opened.
Maybe you hit the right 'hang up' key?? Because when you press it you go back to the homescreen

I'm pretty sure I know the difference between the power button at the top of the device and the hang up button near the bottom, thanks.
Anyone around who actually has a Touch Pro 2?

I have this issue with my Blackstone, using Duttys 3.9.
I have seen this issue before and as far as i have found out there is no soution to this. The only thing that could help is turning off the Msofts LOCK app. Unfortunately mine is on due to exchange security policy.
If your lock is not on, then im afraid i dont know

What does that app do and how would I turn it off?

I also went into the registry and disabled the Home tab for TouchFlo 3D, but the issue persists
( registry entry HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration\0\Enable , set to 0 )
To any who are curious, this appears to be a viable method of removing Home, Programs, and Settings from the TouchFlo 3D tabs. On my device, 0 is Home, 2 is Programs, and 12 is settings
On another note that's completely unrelated, don't install the SRSwow control panel if you don't have drivers/hardware for it. It completely crippled the speakers and mic on the phone, and Voice Command ( voicecommand.exe ) freaked out whenever I tried to start it. Luckily, removing the software through Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs and doing a full reset fixed everything
( above 2 paragraphs included for people Googling either issue )
Anyway, back to the home screen thing... any other thoughts?

If you are using the lock app (which locks the screen) you can turn it off/on by going to (on my HD) settings/all settings/personal/lock and disable it if enabled.
It may not help you, but is a known issue regarding this particular problem.

Have you unchecked the today timeout?
Go to Settings/Personal/Today/Items and make sure it's unchecked.

Yes and makes no difference, but cheers for the idea.

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried aswell
** Warning **
Do not install the TouchFlo Detacher, it WILL break TouchFlo on your system
See http://freewareppc.com/utilities/touchflodetacher.shtml , then avoid it like the plauge
-AceSmythe

Sorry for the lateness of this post, after a full wipe and reinstall of everything ( after the TouchFlo 3D disaster mentioned above ) the home screen does not assert itself anymore. Per suggestion, I did not enable the lock. I'd test turning on the lock and off again, but I don't want to push my luck
Thanks one and all

Mod Edit : No probelms, but no need for the final comment, so I have removed it

Now what would really solve this if you could check the registery to find the key responsible. I will have a look at mine in depth but i fear i will not find it.
Cheers.

I've been all up and down that thing and either I'm just ignorant of some term that I should be looking for or there's just no entry for it
Maybe someone could write an app to fix it or a replacement locking app
