Go to
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\AutoDeviceLockEnable = 0
Try to change the value to 1
It's not possible.
The entry disappears and a new entry "Locklevel" appears.
"Locklevel" is set to 0.
Now try to change this to 1.
This works, but after Softreset the value of Locklevel is 0 again.
You see, you can't permanently change some registry entrys anymore.
It seem's that the new ROM has some special security "improvements".
Or is it a Bug of the new ROM? Maybe this is the reason why it's not officially available over HTC website?
Any ideas???
I can't reproduce the first step but I can reproduce the second.
I'm perfectly able to set the enableautolock key to 1, but (and this is the weirdest thing) it hasn't any effects, even after a softreset. What I noticed though, is that BsB tweaks 1.2 reports that the autolock is off, despite the fact that the enableautolock key is set to 1 (and stays 1 also after a soft reset).
Until I set autolock manually to on in BsB tweaks the registry values doesn't have any effect. After I switch the autolock on in BsB tweaks the autolock works perfectly after a softreset. (Yet, there isn't anything changed in the registry)
I stand by my case, it is BsB tweaks that is causing this problem and not the new ROM. (Again, after my upgrade I hadn't any problems whatsoever with the lock status. It was after the installation of BsB tweaks that the problems occured).
Locky me , the lock works perfectly now
It must be the ROM because even after hard reset there is no Auto Lock!!!
Which ROM do you have?

the new one, 1.48.
Which one from this list. I have the official dutch rom and do not have the problems you mentioned.
I've the german ROM.
But I just noticed that after a new hard reset it suddenly worked.
Now it looks as if you were right, the problem must be BSB Tweaks 1.2.
Glad it worked out for you. Cheers
hi guys!
it's not my app problem, there are 2 reg keys to enable auto lock:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\AutoDeviceLockEnable
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\DeviceLockWhenSuspend
the reg key handled by my program is the second one that's why when you change the first one the status of the tweaks doesnt change. Anyways if you enable autolock first key will be edited also.

It seem's that your app doesn't work proper on newest ROM.

edit: are you using bsb tweaks 1.2? or older?
I use german 1.48 and BSB Tweaks 1.2.
The Auto Lock problems appeared first after having installed BSB Tweaks.

but i still dont know wich problem you have? it doesnt auto lock? you cant change registry? or my app is not working? xD
if it doesnt autolo lock is because you have to lock it for first time manually the other should be fine, at least i havent seen anyone else with problems (apart from the locking manually first time or it wont work (wich is a rom prob))
I'm glad that has been cleared up. BsB (edit: makeveral), thanks for your clarification on this point. Keep up the good work.
Hmm. Now, after having locked the phone manually, it seems to work. Thanks!
But, what i don't understand, is, that without BSB, after hard reset, it worked normal (without having to lock the phone manually the first time).

When I lock my Orbit II/Touch Cruise the display is automatically dimmed - standard procedure, I assume. When I come to unlock it, in anything except a darkish room indoors is is very difficult to see the display sufficiently well to type in my unlock code. Is there a way to have the have the display bright when coming out of standby when the lock is on?

this cannot be changed !!! cause configuration comes with rom [email protected] least i guess ---
I use an excellent auto-locking program that can be configured to light the screen for a few seconds to allow you to unlock it.

Hey Man!
Use eg.the registry editor from schaps and rename LockLevel to LockLevelX
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel =>
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX
Reset your device and be happy!
This works fine for me and activating the device happens in full brightness

Changing the name in the registry works fine. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the tips (and the other folk too) - I'll get the registry editor and try that.
Dim backlight on Orbit 2
I take it you're still running the O2 today screen?
Load the HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.sch Home screen and Slide to Unlock (S2U2-1.05-WM5.cab) and you won't have problems again.
No need to fiddle with your registry or buy a registry editor either.
Search the forum for both the above files but make sure you download and run the specific file above for your Orbit 2 or else the backlight adjust tab won't work.
get the 6.1 update and this is all sorted out in it

Running the Windows Update says everything is up to date, so I assume I'm already running 6.1 - I can't see a version number anywhere to confirm. "About" says Windows Mobile 6 Professional and a build number of CE OS 5.2.1623 (Build 18129.0.4.5) If there's another way to update and it would fix the problem that would be the way to go.

Just to confirm that it is the DIRECTORY name "Locklevel" that needs to be changed, not the Locklevel entry in that directory :-
Name Data
Default (value not set)
Locklevel 0
Perhaps changing the value of Locklevel from zero might have a similar effect?
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

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.

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...

WHERE IS THE BLOODY AutoLock Screen v 1.7??? Why doesn't starts?
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?

Sorry this was gibberish
then im sorry i cant help

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.
I'm not sure what happened, but I've been noticing that now when I boot up my VZW TP2, the launching touchflo 3d screen pops up, then goes away and there is nothing but a black background and the windows taskbar.
The black screen looks like a program with an all black background and no text/content, it has an X in the upper right hand corner and I can click that X to reveal TF3D.. I can also click anywhere on the screen and/or END key and reveal TF3D.
This happens at startup every time now.
Things I've done since I noticed the problem;
Installed HDBoobs
Installed Diamond Halogram w/ ATi Graphics Driver
Put HTCAPI.dll in the \windows\ directory
Installed .NET CF 3.5
Installed Schap's Registry Editor
Installed J.S. Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3
Installed Ilium Software Screen Capture
Installed Windows Live (newest version)
Installed Microsoft Facebook Application
Did '7MP Panorama' Tweak
Did 'Reveal 5 Hidden Camera Settings' Tweak
Things I've done after noticing the problem;
Installed Microsoft ICS
Installed Garmin MobileXT
Did 'Close Opera with X instead of minimize' registry mod
Did 'ResProxy ShareMemSize=0' registry mod
Installed NoPushInternet
EDIT 1:
I've now removed;
'ResProxy ShareMemSize=0' registry mod (slowed me down too much)
HDBoobs
Diamond Halogram w/ ATi Graphics Driver
Nothing has changed.
EDIT 2:
I had it setup to be password protected. After removing the password option and soft-resetting, the problem is gone. Is this a bug? Is there a fix for this? I know it seems minuscule, but this isn't how it should work and I want to fix it
I'd like to avoid doing a hard reset if possible.. so any advice, other than 'ignore it' would be appreciated.
I think that I have the same thing happening. I don't think that it was like this out of the box, but I'm not sure when it started. Basically, my phone loads showing the taskbar at the top and the two soft keys at the bottom. Everything in between is black. If I touch the screen, then the TouchFlo stuff shows up. After that, it's fine.
I do have a lock code enabled. It was forced by an Exchange Server policy. Not sure if this "issue" arose at that point or not.
I asked the same question here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560636
Seems to be related to having the PIN lock enabled. I too am required to use this for work reasons, and have not found a way to get TF3D to display on boot up without having to touch the screen.

Only other non stock thing is Duttys disable push internet. Did I make a mistake in purchasing this tweakware? Can I rectify these situations without a hard reset? Somewhere along the way the black screen thing occurred too.

Do you have a password-required device lock setup? If so, and you're getting the black-screen issue just after you unlock your phone when you first boot it up (from an off state), then you're probably in the same boat as us..

we need a bit more information. The way how to manage the rotation depends on the application that does it. so, did you install thrid party software for rotation or did you change the settings in registry under whitelist for the G-Sensor sdk by HTC?
thanks! i have install the latest BsB, i have tried to uncheck the box of phone but cannot find which item is correct actually! please give me some idea! many thanks! what is the correct name item i should uncheck!??
Im fine now because i flashed a custom rom so im reset but i used bsb tweaks to rotate dialer which worked but didnt like it rotating in call so i changed my mind. I removed "phone" from the permissions in bsb tweaks and although the dialer screen no longer rotated the in call screen still did. Didnt know why as i had removed permissions.
