Hi!
Is it possible to get this today-plugin mapped to a soft- or hardkey? If not, does a similar app exists to unlock the device with 2 keystrokes?
???
There are a couple of apps out there that will lock the screen. ScreenLock is one of them - it requires you to press two buttons at once. Another is MortSaver. Just do a search on the usual PPC software sites for "lock".

Place the device lock Plug in at the top of your "Today" screen (must disable Date plugin). When you are in today screen, you can scroll (arrow down) one click and then click on the action button to lock device.

Genius lateral thinking. I like that. Well Done
Two new tools were released the last few days, the both use the built-in device lock. Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45953
and here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45851
Haven't yet figured out if I can also unlock without pulling out the stylus. Anyone know?

you can, but the plugin was designed for devices that have a full phone pad available when the screen is (e.g. smartphones, mostly); it uses the * key. You can use the same key on the wizard, but of course you have to slide out the keyboard for that
hehe, I already tried that and it's "a bit" inconvenient (considering that i also have to press the "blue dot" key to get the *)
But thanks for replying

THIS ONE works perfect!
http://www.mr2-power.com/downloads/DeviceLock.CAB
Just install it. Map it to a hardwarekey and there you go. I have it running on my MDA Vario and it works just perfect. One button push and the device is locked. You can even change settings ( just go to settings/system and you will see a new icon - Device Lock - )
Super little helper! This is a (IMHO) must-have-tool

you are correct in that this tool is great ! How do I map it to a key though...
1. Start > Settings > |Personal| > Buttons
2. Select a button from the list
3. Under "Assign a program:" pick "Device Lock"
done
I came across a problem when I try to uninstall the program. After a successful unintall, I simply soft resetted my device. When the deviced booted back up, I received an error message stating that it failed to start the Device Lock program and showed the path where it used to be installed.
I looked at all the locaitons where it might have left a trail but at the end, the error message would constantly show up and slow my device down.
I had to hard reset the device. Why does it do that ?
The program may have left a notification in the notification queue. Speak to Matt to check if the program removes this on uninstallation, or remove it manually with Memaid or SKTools.
My app can remove its own notification with the -remove command line.
But you should remove the notification before uninstallation to prevent the message.

try S2u2.
Do a search - there are a few similar discussions!
i like the pocket shield on my touch hd -> http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/
I´ve tried S2U2 on my Wizard with some strange problems like Battery drain etc. Pocketshield works so far, but i loved the simplyness of DeviceLock.
Isn´t there any way to lock the device on wake up? Pocketshield shouldn´t be the last fix for this problem....
PocketShield is the best for the HD.

What version?
I´ve tryed aout Phoneshield, but i wasn´t that surprised of it. Now i´ve tryed This:
Goto registry:
HKEY_CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Backlight\[AutoDeviceLockEnable set to 1]
HKEY_CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel\[LockLevel set to 1]
That works for me without installing any Software

I would to know one thing, I see two different key to lock the phone:
AutoDeviceLockEnable
LockLevel
why? isn't enough only one of them? for example backlight lockenable?
pls explain to me what exactly these 2 keys so
quick question :
which registry entry governs the backlight display on the lock screen,
at the moment i've got the phone dimming after 30 seconds, then it locks and the light comes back on. for about 30 seconds. ideal the lock screen would be illuminated for about 10 seconds then blank the screen.
What reg entries do i need to set to sort this out ?
answers appreciated.
many thanks.

by default yes, but you can amend the function of the long key press if you like via the buttons menu in further options.
i've got mine killing off connections data/phone, for example with the power button at the top locking the phone.
works for me.
Hi!
I'm still struggeling to find the right way to lock the phone. The ideal solution would be to:
1) Have the phone unlocked when I switch it on with the Power button (so that I can immediately use it after deliberately turning it on)
2) Have the phone automatically locked when it wakes up due to a phone call or SMS (so that I don't press anything by accident when it is in my pocket).
This seems to be the only really logical way to use device lock. Can this be done?
Regards!
But PocketShield doesn not meet my requirements (see above post). It's just another regular device lock app without the possibility to disable the device lock when the unit is turned on with the power button.
Regards!
I found the Registry-Hack Solution is the better way, just my opinion. But can somebody tell me which reg-value must be edited to avoid locking with end-call button? I don´t want to lock my device in this way, i want to end Data connections with long pressed end-key.
easy
1) scroll along to settings
2) hit 'all settings'
3) select 'personal' tab
4) select 'buttons' icon (top left)
5) get your stylus out
6) on the buttons screen, hit the arrow on the bottom right until you can see the "end key" section. hit that.
7) in the options listed, select "automatically execute selected action" and underneath this select " terminate data connection"
8) hit the OK button (top right) and bob your dads brother, you can now terminate data calls via the long press call cancel key.
nice one.
Thx for that.....
I was adjusting my e-mail settings when the phone frooze. Had to remove battery to restart.
But after that I got stuck with this lockscreen.
Softreset didden't work. Tryed to switch between windows standard and windows classic lockscreen but nothing.
How do I get "The Slider" back?
(I have no lockscreen mods installed)

Go to the settings tab, Menu, All Settings, Lock and go to the Display tab. Make sure you've got Windows Default selected, not Windows Classic. Click OK and it'll ask you to restard. You should now have the lockscreen you want back.
Hope this helps
Edit:
Sorry - I just noticed your device isn't in English. I hope you can translate my instruction on your device okay.
Sorry, I guess "Standard Windows" is Swedish for "Default Windows" so i have already tryed that.
I have also tryed it with HTC sense off but still no change.
Still in need of help!

I reckon that would do it, yeah, but it seems overkill doesn't it. I'd hang fire for now and see if anyone on here comes up with a better solution. At least the phone is locking! It could be worse.

when i sekect lock from all settings, theres only setting password and hint. nothing else. my lockscreen wont automatic lock wen my screen is off.
I found that after a soft reset my Lock screen would not appear after the phone had gone to sleep (or I'd turned the screen off manually).
I solve it by .......
After a soft re-set or having turned the phone off;
go to Start
press 'Lock' at the bottom left of the screen
The lock screen now appears and then acts normally - until the next soft reset when I simply repeat the above
Nop!
Allready tryed that, still the grey lockscreen...

Lost Screen lock
Here is the one simple solution that works for me:
When I installed some cab. files I have lost the screen lock.
Longpress the end/power button. this will bring out options to power off, Lock device, set vibrate...
Simply press "Lock device".
Now you have a screen lock that keeps working.
Well I've tryed that but It will still use that grey thing...
//Johan
Some people don't really read that well, do they?
argh
i have to always manually set the lock device. it wont automatically do it.
i recently installed pocketshield and that messed it up so i dont think everyone deleted properly?
should i use SKTools or a software to delete unused registries? or is it cab files?
YEEEES!
I figured somehow the default windows lockscreen file must have got corrupted...?
So I installed this cab:

As a last attempt before a hard reset. And thank god it did the trick!
Thank you all for your help, without this forum my HTC would have ended up in the bin the day after I bought it!

still didnt work. just still acting the same.
i have the same problem after i have installed puremind's 1cab4all_20shcutsv1.3No.Net3.5.
i tried the above suggestion but didnt work, i have to put the lock device to make it work, but i dont want to enter the password everytime to go to homescreen.
Anyone have the same problem?
1. This happens a few times on my HD2, make sure you have BSB Tweak installed. There is an AutoLock switch on there. Make sure that is set to On (which it will be default).
2. Then on the odd occasion when the device does not lock, hold the power button to get the Quick List and click Lock Device, now it will be ok - till the next time it happens (mine usually after a few days in which case repeat step 2).
First of all, sorry about my bad english...
I've installed s2u2, and then uninstall it because I didn't like it.
My HD2 screen suddenly doesn't lock itself after I press the "turn off" button. it did this problem before, but then i fixed it with pressing "start" and then "lock".
I tried to do so again, but it hasn't work.
what can I do so my HD2 screen will lock itself after pressing the "turn off" button (like he did before I installed S2U2)??
Thanks, EliorAvR.

You probably need to go in and turn on the device lock again. S2U2 automatically shuts it off when you install it.
Start>Tools>Device Lock>Check both items at the top
I can't find in my HD2 the "Device lock"... can it be in other location?
if u bothered to read this thread here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638 u wont have any issues..
27. Disable Auto Screen Lock
If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab:

No, that isn't what I meant. I uninstalled the SU2U from my device, and I want the HTC lock screen to lock my phone when i press the "turn off" button.
Sorry for asking again, but can anyone help me?
go to Settings --> Menu --> All Settings --> Lock --> Check box "Prompt if phone unused for: "
let's see if that works..
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 1. See if it works?
-I tried the "all settings" thing, and I have to use password...
-How do I get to HKCU? what is it? controlpanel and staff?
i had the same problem few days ago...i tried different ways...but somehow it worked after couple of hours.
hold down the "call cancel" button and click "Lock Device"...and do the soft reset.
if that didn't work then just install the original cab file for HD2 lockscreen. I've attatched it below. Hope that helps.
How do I do soft-reset? particulary after I had locked my phone? and the cab didn't change anything...
i have the same issue. Any solutions yet?
The regitsry option doesn't work....Even i m in same ditch with no defualt lock screen on my phone
Okay Guys...i was able to get the lock screen back on my phone without any hard-rest and without any cab installatio.
Just made the following updates in Registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen and look for "Enable" and set it's dword to 1. Soft reset.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\ and look for AutoDeviceLockEnable dword should be 1.
U need to restart your phone(soft reset) and everything works as usual.
I had not install any S2U kinda software. Just installed Iconsoft PhoneEx2 2 days back. I still don't know what caused the change in my phone.
Happy to have it working properly now!!
the cab didn't work. i tried to tap the box in the "all setting -> lock", and it work! but i have to use password, and i don't want to use password...

the lock screen on my hd2 has gone missing... pressing the red button directly brings me into the sense UI... any suggestions what went wrong?

any help with above issue pls?
Have you recently installed then uninstalled a custom lockscreen? Look at my sticky (link in my sig) and towards the bottom of the first post you'll see some attached cabs. download the one that says Lockscreen HD2 original then install it. It should bring you back to normal.

hi there...
i did stumble upon your sticky and downloaded the lockscreen HD2 original cab file yesterday itself. I have soft reset the device after the installation but still there is no lock screen. Once the device boots up its directly in the Sense UI. Anything else I can do to fix OR might have done wrong?
Thanks for your input!
** Also, to answer your question, no i have not installed or uninstalled any custom lockscreen.. I am still in the learning stages of flashing a ROM and once I get comfortable with all the steps involved, I'll take the plunge but at this point the device is in stock condition except for the apps I have installed.

I tried reinstalling the cab from your sticky to the device (coz I wasnt sure where i had installed it previously) but the problem persists and No I havent installed any BSB or any other tweaks (atleast not intentionally)
So when you go to start , etc, then lock, after you unlock it you're presented with the lock screen Options. Are those set accordingly? Once set, it'll ask you to save changes, then click ok in top right corner.

- now if i press the red button to switch off and then press it again, the lockscreen stays.
-but if i slide the lock on the lockscreen to reveal the sense UI, close the device and then switch it on again, it doesnt show me the lockscreen
does that help you help me?

Listen...
Once you go to the start menu, select SETTINGS. Then tap the MENU soft key in the bottom right and select ALL SETTINGS. You should see LOCK in the top-right. Tap it, this locks your screen. Immediately unlock. You are now at the LOCKSCREEN OPTIONS page. Set accordingly. Save. Tap OK in top right. Done. Drink a beer.

I already tried this before.. Tapping on the Lock icon in the "ALL SETTINGS" does not lock the screen. Instead, it directly takes me to the password screen (maybe what you referred to as lockscreen options) where my first choice is a checkbox for "Prompt if phone unused for ___ mins and the other option is to choose a password.
Yeah that's the stuff. That's where you enable it. Check the box, set the password (pin).
Sorry for not realizing you had been there. If setting and saving those options doesn't work, not sure what to tell you.
Are you connected to an exchange server?
(you have to make sure after you hit the obvious SAVE button that pops up, you have to hit the OK button in the top right the screen.)
