For security reasons, I have a 10 digit code set for my HD2. However, the default behavior of the hang up/on/off button not only blanks the screen, but also activates the lock as well, which means that I have to enter a 10 digit code every time.
What I want, is to change the behavior of the button, so that it only blanks the screen, and to use another program, such as ThrottleLock to secure the screen instead of the lock password. I've set the phone to lock in 30 minutes, so that if I don't activate the phone in 30 minutes, then I'll have to enter the 10 digit code.
Any help would be appreciated.
Nevermind. Found the cab I needed here.

I'm looking for some software that will lock my 8525 on demand, hopefully through a today screen plugin. The app MUST require a password for unlocking. I have found some apps like Start Nice and Omega 1-Pass, but they are both explicitly incompatible with WM5. An app that merely triggers the built-in password protection would suffice.
Thanks in advance!
the default password function shld help. go to Settings - Lock. select "Prompt for device unused for" and then select 0 minute from the drop down, click ok to save. whenever u power off ur device and power it back on, the password screen shld prompt.
I do not want to have to enter a password every time I take the device off standby. I want to have a 1 hour usage timeout and a lock-on-demand button on the today screen as well.
I use mortscript, I wrote a script that I linked to an icon on my today tray launch.
You could do the same on your WM5 device. Some of the clever folk on here could help you with a script for your device.
Password lock on demand
Does someone know how to creake a desktop icon that will activate the password lock? The default password lock function allows activation after a specified period of time but it would be better if the password protect is active only when the phone has to be left alone, not while it is on person.
Found an old thread....but no solution
There was some debate on the topic in the past but no satisfactory solution was found!

I like the simplicity of the stock security lock feature that comes with the touch pro... However the options for it are somewhat limited. I was wondering if there was a way to edit it to my liking.
For example, the option 0 Minutes will prompt the pin screen after 1 minute of inactivity OR when the device is in sleep mode... I would like to keep the feature of locking the phone when I put it into sleep mode, but I would like to increase the time of inactivity to say 3 minutes before it will do it automatically
Or maybe just an option to only security lock the device manually with the long press end key? That would work for me as well.
Doing a little more thinking about this, Id much rather have the security lock on manual, and long press end key locks the device... i dont like how itll pop up when im watching a video, is there any way to edit this without having to install a 3rd party program instead?
Hello,
The exchange password policy was pushed to my phone after setting up my work e-mail. This is fine and does not bother me. I am having trouble figuring out how to enable the lock feature before the timeout period so that I can lock my phone whenever I want vs. waiting for the timeout period.
I have gone to settings and lock and it does lock the keys but does not require my password to unlock the phone. Is this how it is supposed to behave? Any idea on how I can lock the phone on demand to password protect my device?
Thank you all.
not sure what version you have but the Verizon Wireless TP2 when lock is enabled under Settings Tab/All Settings/Personal Tab/Lock, it has Lock as the right softkey on the main screen.
I have the sprint version and when i go to Settings Tab/All Settings/Personal Tab/Lock the phone goes into lock mode and has the keypad displayed for me to enter the password. The issue is though that I don't need to enter my password to unlock the phone. As long as I hit the unlock soft key on the bottom left hand side the phone unlocks itself. I believe it should require me to input my password and then hit unlock.
Just an fyi I do have a password setup on my phone and it does work as I expect it to when the phone times out after 15 minutes and locks itself automatically. I just want to be able to do this without waiting.
if u go to all setting, personal, buttons, then end key, you can choose to display a quick list by holding the end key where you can select to lock the phone or just lock the phone by holding the end key.
Thank you! That worked and it is prompting me for the password to unlock the phone just as I needed.
glad 2 help
So I have the LockBot Pro on my HTC Hero and was loving it over the last few weeks as I have start customizing my phone (Non-Root.) I have been using the option to swipe and then enter a 4 character numerical code to unlock the phone.
Today I happen to notice that when I bring up the lock screen where you either have to swipe and/or enter the code, instead of doing either, if I just hit the call button, it bypasses it all, therefore making the purpose of the lock screen pointless. I wanted the lock screen with the numerical pin code for security purposes, and hitting the call button to bypass is not acceptable to me.
Do I maybe have an option set incorrectly that is allowing this to occur or is this a bug in the program?
Can anyone recommend me a good, sorry, a great Lock Screen APP (Preferably) one where you can set some kind of code you must enter to unlock the phone?
Thank you,

I have an S10e. Screen timeout is set to 10 minutes. But it keeps blanking after about 30 seconds while I'm listening to instructions & I'm displaying the keypad in a "press 1 to..., press 2 to..." menu system. I have to touch pretty much anywhere that isn't a number to keep the screen active & be able to press the appropriate number when the menu system finally tells me which selection I want to make. It's a PITA! Why does it blank LONG before the screen timeout setting? Is there some setting somewhere else that I haven't been able to find?
