I read somewhere that tasker app can be used to delay the lock screen after screentime out. I'm not good with using tht app as its very confusing. Can someone please guide me to that?
I tried Delayed Lock app but its a bad. I use DS unrooted.
Thanks
Yes a confusing app but a brilliant one. Try this...
http://tasker.wikidot.com/alternative-delayed-keyguard-enabler-with-homescreen-toggler
It has the XML profile to download and import if you don't want to set it up manually.
I take it you want to delay it more than the stock delay options?

Seems to deactivate my lock screen but doesnt reactivate after a mentioned time...what am i doing wrong.

Did you realise there are some lock delays built into sense Rom? At least sense 3.0 anyway.

A lockscreen activated by a combo keypress (vol up+down?) which locks the screen on whatever you're looking at including screen brightness and position, so you might hand your phone over to someone without accidently hitting back or having the screen shutoff whilst trying to show them a pic or what have you. I.E. a freeze frame. Then same keypress to unlock. Forgive me if this exists already, I didn't feel like searching kinda buzzed. Mostly want it for weapon, mostly.

Doesn't exist but for future reference, post things like this in the questions forum.
I have no idea what you're talking about? You just want a different combination to lock the phone other than the native lock button at the top of the phone?

I understand what you mean, but just set the screen timeout to a longer duration.

I think he wants quick access to this function though also he doesn't want the screen on all the time after he let's whoever borrow it. I think this would work better with toggles on screen more then anything

Freeze the phone screen on whatever is there not allowing screen timeout, screen position change, key or touchscreen presses (excluding activate and deactivate freeze frame). Basically freeze the phone in its current state until you resume.

Basically make it so the phone is unresponsive until the button combo is pressed again? It's out there, I'll look for it.
EDIT: I'm having a hard time finding it, but if I come across it, I'll post it.
I like to keep my phone locked, but it would be nice to be able to skip right to the camera app by pressing the shutter button. Anyone know of a way to set that up while leaving all non-camera apps in a locked mode? I realize i could also leave the main lock unlocked and use an app locker like Seal, but the ones i've looked at don't have an option to unlock all locked apps for a period of time after entering a passcode, which makes using apps cumbersome.
Your device should already do this as default behavior...?

You have to hold it down. I wasn't aware of this until Blue pointed it out to me.
I think he means when you have a pattern lock. He wants to be able to go straight to the camera with out having to put in his pattern, but still have to use the pattern to unlock the rest of the phone..I want to do this too.

Okay, yep, you are right - I was responding as I was waking up and making some coffee, didn't pick up on that.
Not sure how to make this work, other then re-writing the passcode part of the system to have an exception for the camera.

Exactly.
Or if I could find an app locker that can remember an overall unlocked state for all apps for given amount of time.

are you talking about settings, security, lock phone after,(then you choose how long you want the phone to stay unlock)?

No, I'm looking for an app locker that would let me globally unlock any locked apps for a period of time once I unlocked one.
Any Rom not based off the Stock DS Rom losses that awesome trick. Roms using HTC Sense can have the camera asigned to a quick launch. ICS is a slide to the left with the unlock ring.

Those options don't bypass a pattern or passcode lock, which is what i'm asking about.
One thing that really turns me away from Google Music is that there's no option to keep the screen on. I use a car dock and I hate to unlock the screen to change the song. :banghead:
I'm using PowerAmp right now, but I want to use Google Music. I want to like it, I really do, if there's any way to fix this please let me know.

You can use an app like Tasker to set your timeout to "infinite" when you have Google Music on. That way, your screen will always stay on as long as Google Music is running and when you exit the app your timeout settings should return to the way they were.
If you are also charging the device while in the car dock another option would be go to settings display & gestures and check the 3rd box down stay awake then the screen will not turn off while on charge. Sorry if I'm stating something that you already new just wanted to throw it out there

Thanks! I've been looking into Tasker but I'm afraid of the reviews saying it's extremely hard to learn.

I tried this before but the thing is, I don't want my screen staying on all night if something happens or it wakes to the lock screen somehow. Isn't that bad for the screen? Burning the image or something?

It's not hard to learn at all if you're only looking at basic functionality (like...if this is open, do this, this, and this). It's really intuitive. If you just play with it for like 30 minutes you'll know enough to get yourself going.

I use my phone as my alarm clock on my night stand with the app called deskclock + which has a night mode so I never had to worry about damaging the screen.
Sent from my Nocturnalized Beast
I say go with Tasker. Especially if you're going with something as rudimentary as "when google music is playing, keep the screen on" you shouldn't have any issue creating this task.
Not too familiar with the ROMs or mods available for this device, but if there's an AOSP lockscreen mod, or a ROM that offers the AOSP lockscreen (maybe through a Tweaks app?), you should get music controls on the lockscreen, so you can skip/pause from the lockscreen, without unlocking
Hi all.
Sorry if this has been covered.
As the title States my touch screen doesn't respond after waking the phone with the power button. I have had this issue on miui, viper and aosp.
Also occurs from time to time when I recurve a call or my alarm is going off.
Any assistance would be awesome.

EXACTLY the same problem!! I noticed that when the phone is in idle, if i try to unlock or answer a call, the screeen is showing but the touch don't respond. As i measured, it needs 30 seconds to became active. It is very annoying.
Please, if somebody have some answer please tell us.
Thanks

+1. The more info you provide the more help you'll get. If you're using elemental you're automatically undervolted - 25 so going any lower may result in some instability. Also I found with sweep2wake I would get an unresponsive screen approximately 1 out of 10 unlocks so I disabled it. Smooth sailing since.
I had those problems with kernel mods under volting cause death sleep.

So has anybody found the solution? I am also experiencing this problem on my ZTE Grand x IN. When I enable 'Keep WiFi on during sleep', when I press power button, I am not able to unlock the phone since the display does not respond. It takes some time (
less than minute), and after that it is ok. Also, I cannot answer the call sometimes. When I turn off the option that I mention previously, the problem is gone, but my whatsapp, facebook, yMail and etc... does not receive data!!

I would like to completely skip the lock screen that has the shortcuts, etc that pops up soon as I hit the power button. I'm not talking about the lock screen with my password.
I've hunted and haven't found anything yet. That lock screen is not helpful to me. Maybe will have to wait on custom roms.
Thanks for any help.
Never mind ... Had to fix my typos.
Settings>Security. Put a check in the box next to "Bypass lock screen on wake".
Thanks so much. I've hunted and had tons of htc phones. How did I miss that.

Well, hopefully it does what you want. I played with it a bit here and it does work if the time you set to lock the phone has been reached. Just takes you directly to your pattern or pin lock. However, if that time hasn't passed, you still see the lock screen when you wake the phone up. At least that's how it works on mine.
Same here. Also, I still get the lock icon for two seconds then it auto skips to the lock pattern. Oh well. You're post was a big help though.

That's odd. When I turn mine on it goes directly to pattern lock. I never see the first screen. Perhaps pattern lock and pin lock act differently. Don't know why they would though.
Yeah ... Love the phone but little things like this make it a pain at times. I like to hit the power button most of the time and go straight to my screen.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah, I know what you mean. I use Tasker in combination with Secure Settings to do this. Wifi gets turned on automatically whenever it connects to the tower outside of town here. Then when I get home, it automatically connects to wifi (only if it's my wifi). When that happens, it turns off pattern lock. When I leave and the wifi disconnects, it turns pattern lock back on again. It's a little buggy on this phone though. Hit and miss it seems. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the way our root works so I'm waiting on s-off before I start trouble shooting it. It worked great on my Razr Maxx. Never missed.
Why push the power button? Just swipe up on the screen to unlock the phone and go directly to these home screen...
I hear ya. Yeah it gets a little old sweeping that much screen up 30 times a day just to get to my home screen. Going s off and custom ROM will help, as well.

Do you have pattern lock or a pin lock set up? The option doesn't become available until you set up one of the various types of locks.
