I want to remap one my softkeys on the homescreen to "lock". This function is now hidden in start > lock (left bottom key) in WM6.5.
Anyone know the shortcut?
Do you have hardware keys?
If so, holding down the "end" key will lock your phone.
or you can use Auto Lock.
Is it possible to make a long press of one of the hardware buttons to be the unlock rather than "slide to unlock"? My previous phone had a single button on the side and that's how it worked. I'm finding that I'm not fond of the slide to unlock.
Thanks for any response.
Is there any way to keep the native Password Unlock Screen while disabling the Lockscreen itself?
Further, is there a hardware key remapping program for double, triple and long press keys?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers.
Is it possible to unlock device by pressing menu key after waking it up?
I use that on froyo, but now google for such mod and can't find anything.
Hello All. I just enabled the function to unlock the phone by hard pressing the home button under Settings- Display- Navigation Bar. I find that this only works if your screen timed out and not if you shut the display off with power button on side. Is this working as it should or do you see this as a bug? Personally I think it should unlock with a home button hard press no matter what. Thanks.
Mine goes to unlock every time. Iris/Face Recog or pattern....
I am using no security, just swipe to unlock.
I do think that that is a bug, I'm using the hard press to unlock feature without security too, and the hard press works even after locking the screen manually.
Screen timeout and screen lock have to different settings.
So if you screen times out at 30sec
But the lock kicks in at 1min.
Then your be able to simple press the home button and go right back into the home menu after the 30sec but before the 1min mark.
If you press the power button it normally auto locks.
Meaning you cant press the home button to launch into the home screen.
Now this is all if you have no Security on.
I had the exact same issue as you did after I installed Samsung Oreo Beta Program. Then I found out that for some reason that the option got turned off. So you might want to double check and see if it is still enabled. To do this, do the following two things below:
1. Enable Unlock with Home Button
• Settings
• Display
• Navigation Bar
• Buttons
• Unlock with Home Button
*Then make sure Unlock with Home Button is enabled*
2. Then I would double check your phones Lock Screen & Security by doing the following:
• Settings
• Lock screen and security
• Screen Lock type
*Make sure Swipe is enabled*
Worst 8+ option...
1. Home button on AOD is disabled.
2. Unlock with home button (hard press to unlock) is disabled.
Still, hard press on home button area on lock screen (AOD), unlock the phone?!
Does anyone have a clue how to disable this crappy option?
