Is there a way to permanently LOCK the clock display format while in the Phone Mode? Or just lock it permanently regardless of what you are doing?
Here's what I am talking about... while using the phone and pressing the Wizard up against my ear, somehow I manage to CHANGE the clock format from digital to analog with my EAR!!!
How can I lock it to DIGITAL so that the option to change it is no longer available?
There MUST be a way to solve this!
I always switch of the phone when I'm calling using the On/Off button on top. This way it is impossible to accidently tap on screen buttons while calling.

If you are asking how to change it back to digital then answer is tap and hold stylus on the clock for a couple of seconds, a menu pops up. Select digital format here (this is what your ear did, only it selected analog). But if you already know this and asking way to disable this functionality completely so that your ear can't use it accidentally then I don't think there is any. Hope this helps.
Settings
You can disable the touchscreen when you are using the phone. Check through the various settings, I do not remember where it is located but I am sure that is there.
I also would like a solution for the "ear tapping issue".
Maybe a reg hack or something that overrides a reg change automatically.

hello all...i had a quick question regarding throttle lock...the reason im using it is as an alternative to s2u2 bc that is a battery hog on my tp2...i was wondering if anyone knows through experience whether or not throttlelock will consume less battery power...also, is there a way to get it to lock whenever u put the phone into "sleep" mode (pressing the top power button to shut off the screen)...thats really the only thing i want to use it for...for example, when i press the top power button and the screen goes off, how do i get throttlelock to be whats on the screen when i "wake" the phone back up...it seems to me that the only options are to have it activate once u restart (power off and on) the phone or by pressing the throttle lock icon...i would find it very more useful if u could use it like s2u2 (turn screen off and tada!!! theres throttlelock)...can anyone help???
try smartlock. It works with the 6.5 lock and adds the functionality of locking when the phone is powered down. Search for the cab and there are instructions on what box to check to get that functionality.
will smartlock work with 6.1?
I tried s2u2 and also found that it seemed to use more power (based on readings from Homescreen++). Using throttlelock doesn't seem to have much noticable increase at all.
As for getting it to lock when you turn the screen off and wake try the following ...
Go into settings > Lock > Change 'idle time before lock' to '1' then click ok to save settings. Then exit the config go back in and change this back to '0' and 'ok'/save.
It works on my xperia as your wanting ... e.g, turn off screen using button on top, turn on and I need to enter the sequence to activate. I can't find the thread that I read the above solution on at the moment but if your struggling I will see if i can find it.
Throttlelock seems to be ok for me. It does not take much RAM, and does not consume that much power. I do have the lock thing to 0, and throttle lock comes up whenever i turn the phone on.
I used to use smartlock, but for some reason it doesnt work on the build i have!

I realise this is probably a daft suggestion but you do have autolock switch in the config?
Are you using 0.7?
Heres a link to the Throttlelock website wiki explaining the functions.
Might be of some help.
I'm having some trouble with the incoming call feature but apart from that it seems pretty stable.
I've tried the other options but the pattern unlock does it for me

Do you mean the sim pinlock?
On mine the simlock asks for the password when i start up and i use throttlelock as a general screenlock.

it's the pin lock for the whole because i use exchange mail, it's a security pin that everytime the phone goes to sleep, i have to enter it in. i did find a fix for this, it's in the reg file.
i was wondering if anyone have some tips on this issue
rather than using the volume and switch silent i wish if there's a software that uses the lock screen as a switch a tiny icon above the slide or something
i missed the iphone switch
I have no solid proof of what I am saying, yet I am afraid there is no way to do that, I mean accessing volume control while phone is locked (and I pretty mich would like there was,since proficiently using it as audio player requires that rocker buttons work even when locked, without waking up screen).
There are out there exe utilities that toggle from sound to vibration and vice-versa, but afaik not even S2U2 is able to let you run programs from the lock screen to achieve that.
And once you unlock, instead of clicking a shortcut, it's almost faster to just keep pressed one of the volume buttons to either silnce the phone or restore the ringtone.
I found the volume key works whilst my HD2 was locked via S2U2, unlike standard HD2 lock screen.
Very pleased I don't have to unlock my device first before I can press volume key to silence my phone.
10x guys
in conclusion the fastest way is via the volume button
how about we ask someone to take our idea and implement an icon button on the lockscreen it would be perfect
I find that the volume controls work while the phone is locked if I have a music player open and headphones plugged in.

You could use LMT and map a swipe gesture to silent mode.

How do you do that? I have LMT installed but so far only know how to launch apps via the learn gesture.

You can change the registry settings for LMT to point at specific programs or operations also.
I use an app called Tprofiler.
It turns on silent while im at school, and when im done it puts sounds on by its self.
Its all auto! how much faster can things get lol

Yeah, I had a quick look in HKLM\Software and couldn't find where to change settings?
there is a setting somewhere that lets you silence the phone by shaking/moving it - this is inbuilt AFAIK so it should be available in all Roms.
Phone rings while i'm busy, all i do is jiggle my leg (as my phone is always in my pocket) phone silences. No worries, no 3rd party software to slow the phone down

this is already implemented within the phone , while ringing if you moved the phone, automatically the sound will decrease 80 % but to 100 % i doubt about it, but if you know any solution about it would be cool

You are correct. If you actually turn your phone over it also silences it 100%

I use Widget Locker by TeslaCoil. While it's a couple of dollars, it will give you whatever kind of lockscreen you want, and you set it to wake with any hardware button. You can also set it to unlock with a second press of a hardware button, or only a specific button (including the N1's capacitive buttons). I've got mine to wake with any button, and unlock with a custom on-screen slider.
Plus, I can put whatever I want on the lockscreen. If you want it too look like the default screen? You can do that. Widget it up? Perfectly fine. I also like the ability to make your own slider. I've got mine set so the left->right slider is unlock, and the other one launches the camera app, for those quick-or-you'll-miss-it shots.
I used to use MyLock (one of the free betas that was uploaded before the app was abandoned), but WL is more stable. Probably because you can pin it to the notification bar so Android won't kill it from time to time when it needs the memory. Or maybe because it's not beta code. I don't know, I'm not a dev, I only know the basic workings of the OS.
This sounds interesting.
But we still need something to lock the phone without using the power button.
I will purchase your suggested app and put Mixzing widget and the lock screen wigdet on it to search through music without unlocking the phone.
Thanks
If you put Widget Locker in your status bar (or launch it from app tray/homescreen, but for this purpose the status bar works better), you can go down and click it to put it in "Tool Mode" which is basically where you add all the widgets and such, as opposed to "Lock Mode" which can limit interaction (if you set it up that way). Neat trick is that you can go into the settings menu->Screen Timeout and select "Use Timeout in Tool Mode."
So you pull up WL in Tool Mode, it times out in 10 seconds, which puts the phone in lock mode, so you never have to touch the power button if you don't want to.
Neat little app eh?
..........
What if we need security a.k.a a pin code on the lockscreen?
Widgetlocker doesn't have a code system itself, so you slide to unlock then slide again then enter your pin. Pretty annoying.
Any way around this?

I found a way to do do something like that you want. As i can see you have cm7 so you have the CM settings, I guess. There are 3 lockscreen settings which can do sort of what you want:
1) Go to ->Unlock options and enable Menu unlock & Disable unlock slider
2) Go to ->Delay and timeout and put screen timeout delay and screen turn off delay to max (30min i think).
So your phone after these setting will lock after 30 min of nonuse and will unlock by pressing the menu button without showing any slice to unlock!
Hope I helped...

Well that's definitely better then it was Thanks. cause it's very bad thing when you have to turn on phone every few minutes cause you got sms Buti home there will be some one who knows how to remove. I have my Archos 32 player and it uses android but it don't have lock screen
2 questions:
1:
Is there a mod to remove the Emergency Call button from the lockscreen?
2:
Is there a mod to enable swipe before unlocking - ie: The lockscreen looks the same as if it had no security until it is swiped which then shows the pattern unlock screen?
This would usually enable lockscreen notifications / music player controls etc to be shown without having to unlock. The S3 had these mods..
If theres a way to do it manually, I could also give that a go I guess...

I have no button on my lockscreen for Emergency Call, regardless of whether it's active or not...? If you mean it's set as one of the shortcuts, you can change those to whatever you like.

This is what I mean. If you don't have this coming up i'd find that odd. It doesn't come up if you have lockscreen security disabled.
And following on from this - after pressing the power button, id like to have to swipe before this screen pops up

OK, that would be why then. I just have swipe to unlock.
