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.

I remember I used to be able to press any buttons to turn on the Dopod. it used to be under settings -> Buttons -> lock tabs.
but now that it's disappeared, is there any other work around?
Thanks
Maybe this way?
Start, Settings, click the System tab, then click on Key Lock. Select "Do not lock buttons"? Let me know if this is not what you were looking for.

why don't you just change the setting in Advanced Config so that whenever the screen is switched off, the phone automatically locks?
Search.
For example great sensorlock

This software works very good and only disable the touch screen when there is call so that the call will not accidentally missed. Just what phone lock works. By the way, HTC dialer will automatically disable the built in phone lock when there comes a new call.
Is there a working version for a Device Lock for my beloved HD? I want my HD to be locked when a notification pops up or a phone call comes in. Actually its unlocked after a call or notification.....

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

however doing this modification at registry can I answer to a call sliding to green the on screen indicator?
or am I forced to press phisical anser button?
The Modification doesn´t change the behaviour of the answer screen....
So it works perfectly for me.....
and after....

ah that's fine thx
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.

am I missing a trick here, doesn't pressing the 'end call' button lock your phone with out the need to install extra software ????

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.....

If you mean you cannot lock the device long pressing the end button, yes, it is a known issue. See this thread

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

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!
