When my HTC pro is locked the both volume buttons still work.
Is there a way to disable these 2 buttons when my phone is locked, the should only work if the HTC pro is not locked!
How can I change this?
good question. I would like to know as well...
a friend of mine told me, htat the diamond has got the buttons locked in locked mode, too.
2 of my working partners have both a touch diamond and they both confirmed that the button keys are turned off when the phone is locked.
you guys should check out the sensor lock app, it's free and by a peep on here, it's pretty good
this app is quite cool (sensorlock), but we just want a simple lock of the volume buttons when the device is locked by the default procedure.
sensorlock does not what i want.
I just want the default lock in wm to lock the volume keys.
So if I press the "end call" and hold it down the phone locks, it should also lock the volume keys, the on/off button should NOT be locked!
More function I do not need for locking.
It would be OK if a app does the same with a software/sensor lock function, but important is that it is enabled by long press of end call button.
Sorry no answer to your question but I agree: the fact that the volume buttons are not locked is really annoying!
volume buttons not locked
They are locked on my original Dutch T-Mobile Rom.
(and yes, I've checked that)
On my vodafone rom not, I am now runnin romeos and on this rom there are also not locked.
Note: we are speaking here about the default lock of the OS, NOT the sensorlock! So holding down the "end all button" for approx 2 seconds. The phone now locks itself and display is dimped, now all keys execpt the on/off and volume keys are locked. What I want is that volume keys are also locked.
It is possible to lock the volume keys using apps such as sensorlock, but this lock does not work with the end call button, you must rotate the phone of use the stylus to (un)lock it.
tis true. when locked, volume buttons work. when display is off, they do not
3 Australia Rom also comes with this problem. It would be interesting to know how they fixed it in the T Mobile Dutch rom.

Not really, it does not what I ask
I just want: lock using hold own end key, all keys (including volume) are OFF.
This tool does not do this, if I set is using wm in lock modus the volume keys still work, all other options are not for me...
It is great that people suggest which tools to use for locking but please only suggest a tool which locks does exactly as I ask.
If anyone Finds an answer to this I would love to know as well!
yeah kinda of a big problem. I lock the phone. Put it on vibrate or silent and put it in my pocket. because of the location of the keys, it sometimes increases the volume. Quite annoying since use an mp3player where i go, i don't hear my phone (thats why i prefer to use only vibrate).
Turning the display off is a workaround that helps a bit.. but that button also works when locked (not weird ofcourse)
Nevermind, I've found the best way to get past this is after locking the phone (by holding the end call key) if you press the power key and release it puts it into "Sleep Mode" and turns off the screen. After this the volume keys cannot be used unless you press and release the power button to wake it up.
Seems to cure my problem.
any person can help me how enable volume buttons when device is locked ?
rom: ROMeOS ver.1.70.3
Is there a way to disable the "menu" physical key for unlocking the device? I currently use a security path, but I hate it. I use it because the menu key seems to be quite "sensible" and I unlock the phone many times on my pocket.
The normal "slide to unlock" screen is very nice, but it serves no purpose since it can still be unlocked by pressing the "menu" key.
Is there a way to disable the unlocking by key (forcing you to "slide to unlock" on the screen)?

Im searching so long now for a Screenlock tool unlocking with power button for my Sony x2 with WM 6.5.3
All screenlocking tools i tried so far have to be extra unlocked when i press the power button. I think it would be most useful if a call or sms comes in... the screenlock lockes the phone, but when i press the power button it should automatically unlock without having to press other buttons.
Another solution could be that the screenlock only activates on calls or sms. But if no such actions happen it shouldnt lock.
Any Ideas/programs?? Was searching for so long now

There are several applications that can be configured to lock only on calls, just search the forum, a quick search gave:

Good day. I am planning to get the Sensation XE. But i have a question regarding the unlocking of the screen. On my xperia arc, in order to unlock, i have the choice of either pressing the power button and swiping to unlock or pressing the home key and then swipe to unlock. For the sensation, do i really need to press the power button then swipe to unlock? Or can the volume key be used to press then swipe to unlock? Is there a software or program that could substitute the power button for the volume rocker button to unlock? I find it a hassle to always reach out on top of the phone just to press the power button. Is there a way to make this easier?
Yup here u go:

By default, you have no option. The only way to wake the phone (turn on the screen) is by pressing the power button.
But as "deadeye0908" linked above, you modify it to use the voume buttons (after S-Off & root).
Anyone know if there's a way to make the home button only work with a hard press? I'm not referring to unlocking the phone or turning on the screen, I'm asking about when using the phone or an app and wanting to press the home key, I would like the ability to disable a simple tap and make it feel more like a button by utilizing the pressure sensor. Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance
Look in Settings, Screen, Navigation bar, Home button sensitivity.

Try this-
set/display/navigation bar/Home button sensitivity
Sensitivity can only do so much, I have it on minimum for purely comfort, because it's much more effortless to unlock your phone when the tap doesn't have to be so intense. And if I really am force-pressing on the button area at any force, I am trying to unlock the phone, so I don't really see a point in having to press it with a lot of effort.
But I've found out that the button is very largely hardware-based, since it works and vibrates even when changing themes, when things like system UI are not active, and normal nav buttons and status bar are gone. So I doubt that any sort of third-party development will be done for it without root access, since the hard press function seems to work as a real button press, and not a virtual press.
