Hi, all
I just upgrade to WM6... As usual, i'm using left soft key to lock and unlock my device.... and after 1 minutes the phone will turn off by itself and lock....
So when i press the left soft key, the device will wake up and unlock the screen.... however after i upgrade to WM6 seems like the left soft key is not working... i need to press the power button to wake up the device and unlock the screen by using the left soft key.... Is this the new feature of WM6 ? Is there anyway i can get the function not to lock the key ?
Thanks
Jon
I frequently lock my Trinity by clicking on the power button briefly, but whenever I get a text message or any kind of alert, it unlocks itself - so if it's in my pocket the buttons can get pressed accidently. Anyone know how to stop this from happening?
Thanks
key lock is on?
in start-settings-system
and "lock" ?
in start-settings-personal
yeah, i don't want to lock-up the device so much that I have to go through menus or enter passwords to unlock it, just have the keys locked until I press the start key again. Is this possible to do?
okay, i have a strange feeling i'm making this more difficult than it should be ....but here goes.
I want to map one of my soft keys to shut down (or suspend) my ppc and then ONLY that same button to wake it up. I've tried several of the device lock programs, but they seem to just turn off the screen. i know i can use the power button on top, but i'd prefer it to be done with another button.
Possible???
thanks

With all that screen to touch, having this thing wake up in your pocket (or holster in my case) it bad - it registers keypresses all over the place, and so far it's deleted appointments and other fun stuff for me.
There is the screen lock (hold down right-most softkey a few seconds) but for me at least if an alert wakes the phone, the screen activates and looks normal, but all hardkeys are disabled. Can't even shut the phone down, have to hit the soft reset button, so conveniently located under the battery cover (argh, talk about dumb design choices...)
So anyone have any ideas on the screen lock? I'd even be willing to dedicate the left-most soft-key long-press to a third party lock, as long as it works properly.
u can use s2u2 IPHONE like screen lock
Hold the hang up button to lock, to unlock press the word unlock and a screen will apear saying To unlock device Tap unlock.
Yeah I did that, the hold hang up button thing... that's what's partly unlocking itself, which is a pain to say the least.
Gonna try Throttlelock. Haven't found any really Manila-lookalike skin yet but it seems to do what I want - lock the device - and even adds a little security.
And what about just clicking once on the power button after locking the device using the hold hang up thing?
Doesn't it does what you need? Press again to wake up the mobile?

No, what happen is: I hold down end call to get the device to lock. Then I tap the power button to close down the screen too.
However, a reminder kicks in and that brings the screen back online AND live, so touching it can do stuff. But, the device is still somehow "locked"... except the only thing that is well and truly locked are all the buttons. Power button, volume buttons, even the softkeys on the front, none of them do anything, but the screen works only too well.
There is now way I found to recover from that state except a soft reset. That boots the device - in locked mode, so I have to hit Unlock and then tap the button on the middle of the screen.
I need a lock that is lock, ie it doesn't activate the screen or buttons no matter what, until I unlock it myself. Looks like Throttlelock may be the answer though.
How many of you have faced the problem:
The power button is too out of reach to bring the phone out of standby. I used Xperia x10 earlier and the phone will show the lock screen once the middle button is pressed.
However for the Desire HD, i have to somehow press the annoying power button for it to display the lock screen.
Cant there be any other button which can shopw trhe lock screen cuz to reach the power button is not so handy.
Set your screen timeout to something quick. It will lock itself then.
I don't really have this problem as have biggish hands, but I can imagine what it'd be like.
Locking is not the issue.
Unlocking is the issue. To bring the phone out of standby and to show the slide to unlock screen, one has to press the "OUT OF REACH" and designed to "AVOID ACCIDENTAL" press button at the top.
I mean the top button is already a accidental press proof position. It really is a task to first press it ans then unlock the phone. Thats 2 procedures just to make a call.
Can some one mod this?
