At first I thought the password was neat, but now I'm sick of typing it in. Unfortunately, whenever I go to Lock in Settings, it comes up with the lock screen's password prompt, but there's no button to accept. Just the numbers, backspace and a non-working cancel button. I have to do a soft reset to get back to the Today screen when I do this.
I had a poke around in the registry, but I couldn't find anything. Anybody got any idea how to berid of this? Phone's a P3600i using... uh... someone's ROM. Can't remember.

Folks,
Did anyone experience that if you set the "Error Report" to 'enable' and do a soft reset, or simply turn the device off and then on again, then it goes back to the 'disable' state?
I have also noticed something awkward with the app I use the most: MagiCall from Mobiion. For some reason, after either a soft reset or turning off the phone, when it comes back, I have to re-enter the license key.
It never happened on my any of my previous WM6 devices (Elf, Niki and Tytn II). It does not happen with my wife's Excalibur either.
TIA,

MagiCall stores registration information in HKEY_CURRENT_USER key.
It looks like your device does not implement Power-Down Flush. Here is a small tool to help you flush HKCU key to persistent storage.
Cool
Thanks a bunch. I could not stand using my phone without MagiCall!

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank You !!!!!!!:d
I searched for about 30 minutes before posting this.. in both diamond and touch pro forums and all over here.. I figure this is a common issue, but still found nothing.
Is there any way to lock the touch screen during a call? I keep doing things with my cheek. I've written notes, assigned pictures to contacts, etc.!!! It's getting old. Anyway to fix that???
Press the standby button.
I intsalled the reg edit No_Sleep_Raph this stops the phone going into standby for voicemail or phone banking.
The phone will blank the screen depending on the power settings I have or standbye button.
If I accpet a call I normally press teh answer button and while putting it to my ear press the standby button
That maybe a solution...
I would think they would've done something like the treo phones..
They've got a setting to lock the screen during a phone call until you press a physical button... Or something like that. Worked great.
How difficult it would be to program something like that?
Have you tried this?

I haven't tried that yet. From what I read it seems like it will be good for not answering the phone inside your pocket... I didn't see anything about it locking
during a call... But I may have overlooked that, and I would assume it is one of the settings.
Can anyone confirm whether this program will allow you to lock the screen during a call and allow you to unlock it with a physical button?
Sorry, can't help you with that as it doesn't seem to work with the latest ROMeOS rom but IIRC you had to remove the stylus in order to use the touchscreen.
wrong post, sorry.
I know the title sound complicated but i don't think the idea is. I either saw this in a dream or in another forum and haven't been able to find it again. Anyways my idea is pretty simple:
When the phone is turned up to it's proper position as if your holding it in your hand (the screen is facing up) the phone automatically unlocks it self without the need to press the damn menu button twice or do a silly pattern. When you put it down on a surface, you put it screen down and then when you pick it up and turn it over, it wakes up easy as that. If the phone is facedown and rings it wakes up. And you want the parameters of the phone tilt to be strict enough the phone won't wake up when it's in your pocket. Also, when you put it facedown, the phone will go to sleep.
I sadly don't know if you can overwrite the unlock of the phone (that has no pattern lock) nor do i have the porgraming skills to do this. If it's not possible to bypass the lock screen with a program, maybe u could emulate the menu button being pressed twice? Just my idea. If there is something like this out there already, just post the link. Thank you!
This app already exists. You can download it in the Market. Unfortunately I can't remember the name...it was one of the first apps I installed on my phone.
OK--I looked it up, and the app I was thinking of is not what you asked for. The app is Ring Control, which focuses on controlling the ringer based on position.
However, it uses the same inputs that yours would, so maybe you should contact the programmer? He has a long post about the programming of it here, and it doesn't seem to far from what you want:

Bump!!! come on guys...make this happen.
Hi,
I have the latest Fresh ROM on my hero, and setup a pattern unlock screen.
when I wake my phone up I either have to slide the time down, or hit the menu button before enter the pattern to unlock the phone.
Now this is kinda a pain, is their a way to skip the menu/slide part, so when I wake up the phone I just can enter the pattern?
Thanks

you could delete the lockscreeen. i remember reading a post that showed you how to delete it. search for it. im sure u will find it
rm /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
Well I tried removing HtcLockScreen.apk
and it now loads up the android lock screen.
I'm looking for a tweak to remove the whole thing completely and the phone not ask for it. is this possible?
I know its not a windows phone (thats what i just left behind) but I guess what im looking for is somethign like a registry hack to remove it, if their is such a thing.

sorry, i must have misunderstood your question..
from what i've read the menu menu is built into android. all android phones.. we need the source to change that.
here are a few links just from the CDMA forums... i searched "menu unlock"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584343&highlight=menu+unlock
this one is three pages long...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582315&highlight=menu+unlock
p.s. you know you can just press menu to wake the phone up right?
just double-tap menu its much faster that way.
There has gotta be a way to mod the apk for lockbot to just disable the lock screen altogether but allow the pattern lock.... just a thought.
This shouldn't be a cdma specific issue, any sense Rom should have this. You could try posting elsewhere on this site, android apps, hero apps hero Rom development, or even other Android sites, modaco, android.org, maybe post on flipz site.. just a thought
Hello! Long time user, but noob on a windows 7 phone, It has some problems.... when you type on the on screen keyboard, you cant type a message properly, its like there is bad calibration issues, but when you try to ring a number, all the numbers work okay, is there a way to calibrate the screen? also calculator works okay, also some options you cant click on say for instance, the logging into windows marketplace, you cant enter your email address but can enter password??? WTF HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
Your primary Windows Live ID (the one used for Marketplace) is set and locked when the phone is first run. If you messed up then, you'll need to hard-reset the phone and start again. Actually, you may want to do that anyhow.
I don't know any user-accessible way to calibrate the touch screen on an HTC phone. It shouldn't need it, though. Note that the on-screen keyboard does have some tricky predictive stuff that means it may occasinally think you ment to hit a key next to the one you tapped. You can turn this off in Settings. However, it should never hit more than about half a finger-width from what you actually tapped, and I very rarely see that much. Tapping squarely on a specific key should always work. You can also make the keys larger (most of the time) by putting the phone in landscape (rotate it).
