I no longer have my password screen on my MDA Vario. It used to be there but now it's gone and nothing happens when you click on password in the settings menu. I'm not sure when it went but I've got loaded spbackup, tomtom5 and smartkey/Omap overclock. It's also unlocked (just the Sim lock).
I recently had problems with the alarm. I couldn't stop it going off after setting the daily alarm and the flashing yellow light wouldn't cancel. Eventually I cleared it by disabling smartkey and at the same time I clocked it back to 180mhz. Then I managed to cancel it by pressing the bottom left softkey. I then ran the Check Notification software to clear all the notifications that had mounted up. Since then the flashing light problem has cleared and I'm not using the alarm again!
Anyone got any bright ideas how I can get my password protection back?
Many thanks

I have the Cingular 8125 and I love it, but I also have the same problem. I have Goodlink installed and if my device is sleeping it will not vibrate when emails come in. It will make the sound but no vibration. I am currently using Mortsaver for now to keep the device running with the screen off, so that I can feel the vibration and know that I have received an email.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
If you go into the GoodLink Preferences menu from any of the GoodLink applications, then go into Notification, you have to check off Vibrate there. I've done it and it works.
I have already checked the box to enable the vibration. It does work as long as the phone is not sleeping (default 3 min).
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I've noticed that GoodLink stops vibrating every so often as well. I usually do a soft reset and functionality is restored. I remember when GoodLink first came out on the Treo using the camera used to kill GoodLink vibration. I believe this was because Palm would disable vibration while in camera mode and then GoodLink never realized if it was re-enabled. I think the same is true here though I haven't been able to pinpoint the app causing the problem. Hope this helps!
I've got the famous alarm problem. I've used SK Tools to clear the notification queue. When I turn the TyTN on, the alarms are still there. When I clean again using SK Tools the notifications come back.
I just cannot get rid of the alarm problem.
Anyone else had this and know how to fix?
Try pmClean from here; http://www.pocketmax.net/redial.html.
Thanks. I tried it and still nothing. I m trying to avoid a hard reset but that starting to look unavoidable...
Are they coming back through Activesync maybe?
Yes it's a puzzler alright. Only one thing occurs to me and that is to ask if you are performung a soft reset immediately after running SKtools? If so don't. Shut down the device by long pressing the on/off button until the warning message appears and tap yes. Re-start by long pressing on/off button.

Thanks for all the advice.
I ran pmClean a few times and lo and behold, no more alarm problems
On my Mobile Shell Now Screen, it suddenly says "unlock" & i am required to unlock the phone everytime. I didn't set this up, it must have been done on accident. Any ideas how to turn it off so i can just start using the phone by hitting the power button again? I've looked through all the settings I can think of & can't figure this out. Help please!
any light on this? This JUST occured on my 6800. I have S2U and did not fool with settings. Just happened today.
Reinstalled S2U, Removed S2U (deleted folders and reg keys as well).....still happens
******************UPDATE*********************
Found the error. I have Battery Status on my front screen, for some reason it glitched and there is a setting withing the settings of battery status that "locks" upon wakeup with device lock not s2u. Problem solved
very strange, i have just noticed that my phone lock screen is now gone.
when i hit the hang up/power off button instead of locking the screen it goes black but when i hit another button it comes right back to the main today screen but no lock screen. bit of a problem when it does in the pocket.
any help??
hi
start - settings - menu -all settings - lock -(untick prompt if phone unused for) ----follow instructions -- reboot
regards
op
hold down your power button and lock the screen using that, then when you put the phone back into sleep it will wake up locked.
You may have to do this everytime after a reboot. Eventually mine sorted itself out and I no longer have to do it
This happened to me after I installed the HTC SMS patch. It also makes it so you can only preview your emails and not go into it by selecting. Installed and hard reset twice thinking it was a fluke. Nope.
i got the lock screen back by going to Settings / Change background of lock screen, then softreset. don't know why it went missing and why i got it back doing this... but it worked.
Hi All, I needs some help!
I have a Vodafone HTC Magic, all working fine until this morning when it has decided that it does not want to lock the screen.
I have it all set to require a pattern to unlock but this morning I have come to use it and noticed it didn't ask for the pattern.
I checked the settings and they were not set to require a pattern, no idea what changed it? Anyway I set them again but despite this everytime I lock the phone now (basically just by pressing the end call button) any button will bring it back to life and it is not asking for the pattern so everytime it's in my pocket and a button gets pressed the phone comes on!
I haven't installed any new apps and have tried turning it off and taking out the battery but the screen locking just wont work.
EDIT: Also noticed that the home button doesn't do anything now either!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Replying to myself but thought I'd let anyone who was interested know that I sorted it. Not altogether happy though because it required a full factory reset!
Is my phone running Android or Windows??????
