Automatic Key Lock?

Is there a way to enable automatic key lock? I know you can put a security code lock but that is not what I am refering to. On the today screen you can press the lock icon "device unlocked" to lock the screen on the phone. I am looking for an automatic version of this function.

come on i know there has to be a solution to this

Hi,
On my MDA Vario, under Settings, System then Power, under advance you can set the device to turn off, i.e. still working, but can not be unlocked by tapping, you have to press the power button.
Hope it helps.

I know that option, its default. I want to have to power it on AND then press the unlock button on the screen.

There's a program here made for Windows Mobile Smartphone. You could try and see if it works on the Wizard. If it does let us know.

This seems to run ok on my MDA Vario WM5, just play about with the settings, under Program Files/Autolock when installed.

Hi,
Has anybody found a solution please ?
Automatic keylock does not work on my HTC cruise.
Also, has anyone found a better solution than the original one to unlock the device since it is hard to see something under the sun to unluck it while screen is in the dark, isn't it ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I found a ggod program to lock the htouch: S2U2.
Working perfectly.
Have a nice day.

Endkey lock

Is there any way i can shorten the time that long press+endkey takes to lock my htc 3g? I'd like to have 1 sec, not 2 or 3..
i found in HKCU\software\htc\longpressendkey that changing the value you change the function (es 1=airplane mode, 2= lock, and so on), but nothing about the lenght..
cheers everyone!

I dare to say that NO. You cannot shorten it. This sucks big time. I am using a hardware key mapper to assign one of the volume keys to lock the device instead. And there is a REALLY great 3d party locking app out there called Pocketshield. It is cheap and perfect and the latest v3 beta looks even better. All the updates for this app are almost always very handy. This is self-initiative promotion. It REALLY IS GREAT!

Why not use this customised method.. one tap >> locked instantly

Then it wouldn't be globally accessible. You need to get to that screen to click that

In that sense, yes you are correct. I apologise for putting a bad option.

Come on no need to apologize... I just mentioned it. BTW maybe someone likes to have the homescreen always there

You can use CSDEVCTRL.
I set it to lock after 10secs of idle time, or right after I press the power button.
So many other options available. Ref: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386451

Come on guys - s2u2 is simply the best! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527523
And no danger in pressing the button in your pocket to unknowingly unlock your phone.

thanks guys, I'll check out one of those and ii'll tell you what suits better for me!

Well no doubt about it: s2u2 takes the cake!
New radio + SPB3 + s2u2 = Jade GALORE!
Thank you for your suggestions!

[Q] answer incomming call by pressing a hard button?

Like thread name says, is there any way to answer to a call just pressing any hard button like home button?

i think there's such possibility in any custom rom based on CM, you can go to CM settings and set the power button to do this.

thank for reply
but i am using original SE 2.1 ROM
is there this possibility in this Rom too? i extremely need it.

i dont think there is, sorry.

[Q] Screenlock with search button

Hi, I want to unlock my device with search button so i edited the /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
its like that;
key 217 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 127 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
It is perfectly locks the screen but it doesnt unlock. I tried lots of settings but i couldnt done. What should i do? What should i change?

I'm not much into this stuff, but shouldn't the key code be the same in both lines ?

I've removed the dropped from both of the lines and now I can unlock the device. But I can't lock the device
There could be a code on Spare Parts that changes the function of the detach button or something related to CM settings.

Can anybody try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464

One is for not sleeping mod and the other one is for sleeping mod i think. Both of them was the search button in default so i did it that way.

Sorry for weak English.

I've changed 'key 217' from SEARCH to POWER but it doesn't really behave as a POWER button after locking the screen.

I think there is a problem with search button function after locking the screen. I found that when im listening music then i lock the screen with search button and wait for 5-10 secs. then press the search button and the phone wakes up. So search button doesn't work properly when the phone is locked. So what we should do now?

The power button enables the device to sleep and to access the power menu (like reboot, power off, etc.). The method that is showed here of modifying other buttons to a power button only applies within the Android system.

Does anyone know how to lock the screen using the search button????

Currently we are capable of locking the device but the unlocking has a significant glitch or error.

MANUALLY:
On a root exploring app, go to '/system/usr/keylayout/'. Then find the file 'qwerty.kl' and then open it with a text editor. You'll see there are lots of information on it. Find the line that contains:
Code:
key 217 SEARCH
Change the SEARCH to POWER and then save the file.
Restart your phone and then done!
AUTOMATIC:
Install 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=467998&d=1292740886 (Credits to appelflap)
OR copy the 'qwerty.kl' file inside this to '/system/keylayout/usr'.

Hi to everyone.I want to ask something.How can I disable the real buttons on my hd2(I mean the call,the home,the windows and the back buttons)?

You mean all the time or only in lock screen?
I do not know of any way to completely disable them.
Some apps, like Full Screen Caller Id, let you disable them while the device is locked.
