How to remove keylock???

Hello,
I saw here some threads where guys wanted to install a keylock,
but i need to REMOVE it!
I checked all menus and cant find how to disable it and it is pretty annoying when suggesting every time to unlock and then to confirm
This problem came from nowhere yesterday, i didnt install any new soft in the device recently.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

PLEASE! Anyone, help!
How to remove that annoying keylock? I should press 3 times now to unlock the phone instead of just 1 clock of power button.
Can anyone suggest to change smth in the registry? Where this thing could come off?

Multiposting wont help for sure.
Standard lock is in settings on personal tab, it's called 'lock'.
But I think you have something different. You probably use some additional software, because indeed, WM6.1 does not have any automatic keylock.

Applications only in Background after suspend :-/

Hello,
i have a problem with applications running on my topaz.
They all run fine on Windows Mobile 6.1 (Pro),
but if i press the On/Off button on the top of the device to switch off the display or if it automatically switches off
the running applications only run in background minimized when turning the display on again.
they all run in background and i see the TF3D Interface in front.
Is it possible to switch off this "bug" with a registry key or do you know any solution for this problem..
Would be very nice if you help me with this problem.. wondering that appearantly nobody else had this problem before..
i used the search function of this forum .. and google.. cant find anything.. maybe searched the wrong keywords..
PS.: Sorry for my bad English.. Hope you could understand me xD

please help.. its a hard problem ..

?
so ... basically ... you want to automatically close all apps from background when the phone goes in stand-by mode?

As I understand it he's saying that when he presses the power button to go into standby, and then presses it again to put the screen back on, the unit is always back at the TF3D main screen, rather than on the app he was previously using. Mine certainly stays on the same app. I suspect it's something to do with the auto lock settings.

thank you for your answers
@ georgeono:
no i want to prevent them being minimized.. after the standby mode..
at first they all run in front of tf3d..
then.. -standby mode- is activated
[the screen is black]
i reactivate the phone..
-> all running applications run minimized (in background) behind TF3d and i have to choose them at first in the task manager to get them to front again..
but i want that they arent minimized when i reactivate the phone..

nobody has this problem too ?
please post a solution

Did you apply any tweaks? registry changes? or is this happening on a cooked rom? which applications did you install before this happend? I doubt this happened "on it's own"

no i dont use any tweaks ..
just the blank device with vodafone branding ..
i think its a windows mobile behaviour.. because i have the good old htc artemis with windows mobile 6 and it has the same problem too..
..
thanks for your answer

The same happens with 6.1 & 6.5 ROM's. It is normal behavior...
I hate it because it continues to use RAM, but it's "normal" WM behavior.
There is likely a registry edit to auto close programs, but that wouldn't help you.

normal behaviour? I don't get that on my Topaz (stock ROM 6.1 unbranded) - Returning from suspend the program I ran last is still in the foreground...

Ok, here's what I would check:
Download FDCSofts Taskmanager http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
Install and start, píck "notifications" from the drop down list on the upper right.
Check if one of the entries is a "CNT_EVENT" set to the event "The device woke up". If there is one try disabling it (don't delete yet!). Disable with the 6th button from the left on the lower bar of FDCSofts Taskmanager.
Do not mess around there! Disable at most, don't delete if you don't really know what you're doing.

I double checked again to make sure.... Still does it and always has.
I am using udK R6 now and it is the same.....
No biggie though. I always close everything down in task manager anyway.

Thank you for your answers .. its such a nice xda forum.. very good xD
To the problem.. :
i think its a windows mobile behaviour too.. but if so, it shouldn't be a problem ..
anybody knows the registry tweak to solve this problem ?

@andy_2307
I think i found the solution to the problem...
Just after i posted the same problem in another thread here on xda-developers, i got the idea to change on thing just for trying.
let me guess: you have a (numeric) device lock activated, so that you can lock your device with a "PIN" (separate from your SIM-card PIN)?
Even if you set the time to - let's say - 24 hours, so that the lock does not activate itself, but only when you lock your device manually by pressing the end-call-button for some seconds; this setting (having the numeric-lock activated) causes the issues.
I just deactivated the lock, so that long-pressing the end-call-button just locks the screen and does not force you to enter the device-PIN - and now the device won't go to the homescreen after waking up from standby.
This would explain why not everybody has experienced this - many people do not lock their devices with a separate PIN, and as such don't see this issue.
Only problem now is - for Security Reasons i want to have my device locked in a way, that someone else can not access it (even via activesync) if i lose my device or if it is stolen. without the default windows-mobile locking function, how is this achieveable?

annoyance A or annoyance B

Just tried messing around with this on my touch pro 2. Hitting the suspend button manually and then reactivating returns to the home screen.
Just found that if I set the "Prompt if device unused for" value to "0 Minutes" it stops returning to the home screen, but now I have to type the security code every time it suspends. I guess it depends on what you find more annoying.
It looks like, for me at least, if I am presented with a security input panel, it doesn't return to the home screen on resume. Seems related to the security lock feature, but not necessarily a bug with the lock itself.

UNlock screen ...?doesn't work anymore

Hi guys.
I searched a lot in the forum but I didn't find something useful... my slide unlock is disappeared!!! even when the black screen is on, the slide doesn't work anymore. the sense appears automatically... even if I push the on/off button... boh
I installed some programs, like dutty taskmanager, 20 tabs and others, but not so heavy...
is there anybody able to help me?
thx a lot

have you tried a hard reset? Seems like the only thing you can do.

Assuming you are running ROM 1.48 you need to click Start>Lock and then the lock screen will work properly until the next time you do a soft reset.

Message notification
Hi, does anyone know of a way to get your messages to automatically open when recieving a text, or some other visual notification for that matter? I'm new to windows mobile and I keep missing the small new message green icon!

Thank you jakem: I didn't know that after a soft reset I have to to that operation...
It works.... sometimes things are easier than they seem...
Thanks a lot!!!

I had the same issue as well after I had installed several programs. What I have noticed so far, was that after I installed Dutty's task manager, I've seen a process called 'Start'. When that was running, the lock screen didn't work. When I closed it via Dutty's task manager, the lock screen appeared automatically again! Don't know what the 'Start' process comes from though, but when closing it, it helped for me.

lock not working
install bsb tweaks and select auto lock, them when you press the hang up button/end call button the phone will then lock as it did out the box.
i had the same problem, it dissapeared after doin a few reg tweaks and istalling a few .cabs etc

I got the same problem yesterday! I made a lot of registry tweaks and cant unlock my htc with the slider anymore..
But i found my solution, the tweak for user information was it!!
I deleted all entries in user information and disabled it, and now i can unlock my htc with the slider again..

Happened to me after I installed the SMS patch from HTC. All of my settings changed. Had to do a hard reset and will forgo the SMS patch.

happened to me as well after adding and tweaking, i found that when i turned the power saving to off, on BsB Tweaks, it came back after a soft reset?

This is true for me aswell. I to did alot of tweaking and such, wich made my slider non functional. I then did a ROM upgrade, and did all the tweaking I had done before, only to find out it was Owner Information that was the sinner.
Wich I got from here: [REF] *Leo Hints & Tips* Under HTC Leo: HD2 > HD2 General section. 5. Enable Hidden Owner Info in All Settings\Personal Folder
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Owner and change Hide from 1 to 0 and then reset. You can now enter your name you want to register old apps.
I unticked show Owner Information, and the slider unlocks my phone again. But anyways, is there anyone who know if it's possible to get this to work, with Owner Information shown at wakeup AND the slider actually unlocking my phone?

Damn I just ran into this. Enabled show owner info and notes at startup, now slider unlock doesn't unlock to get into the screen. No way to get into the phone unless a hard reset?

am using my US Tmobile HD2 tonight and a blank Screen came um couldnt get to Home Screen.. and no buttons worked so i removed the battery then restart the phone it ask me for my pass word.. i try typing my password it keep saying "incorrect password" dang this sucks!
and when i hhit unlock nothing happens most of the times

In need of urgent help - PIN number

Ok so I dont know what happened. I installed this medaldetector app for my phpne. I installed it and ran it and then it sor of had a spaz attack. Had no idea to close it so I took the battery out. (This might have nothing to do with my issue) So when I started up my phone it asked me for a pin number. I never use a pin number and I do not recall turning the option on to use one. So now I cant call or txt or anything like that without the pin.
So I am really stumped. Help me out please.

try your sim card in a different phone and see if it asks for pin code. if it does, somehow pin verification got activated. you need to find the little card that came with your sim card which has the pin code and puk code. if you can't find it, call your operator, they will give you those. (puk code is used when you entered your pin code wrong 3 times) good luck.

Thanks alot... Helped

I have WinMo 6.5.5 on my phone and can't find where to turn off the Pin verification? Anyone know how to do this?

On your home screen, scroll accross to the end (Setings). Tap menu and press All Settings. Go to Personal and then to Phone. You should be able to disable it there.
Alternatively, you could just tap your top menu bar. There should be an icon for your service provider, just tap that and it should directly take you to the option you want.

Accessing E-mail from the email tab

Hi All.. Hoping someone can help me here... When tabbing across to to the email tab, I am sure I used to be able to just tap the message being displayed and it would then display the details just as if you were to tap on it from the inbox list. Can anyone concur if this is possible?

You've got a poo old ROM on your phone. Go to start and select Lock (bottom menu). Then unlock your device and the problem will have gone.
Sometimes, the lockscreen will not appear when the screen is turned off (either by you or by a timeout). You do the same thing to turn that back on again too.
These 2 issues are linked, which is a bit weird, but they're well old problems and have been fixed in newer ROMs.
Just out of curiosity, what ROM are you running?

Still no Good
