I know I have read this somewhere but can't remember where I read it but lately I have had this happen. I reach for my mogul to find it awaken and with a screen asking for a password. I never have set a password and leaving password blank doesn't work. I have to soft reset to get out of it. Don't know if this is a mogul bug, wm6 bug, or 3rd party app bug. I have slide2unlock 1.19 installed as well as the Grumps iPhone theme, and HTC Touch Today plugin. Other significant apps installed includes Voice Command 1.6, smartskey, and Live Search 2.0
Anybody know the cause?
Are you using Exchange activesync? If so, some Exchange providers will force a security policy on your phone that causes the password screen. There are ways to get around it with certain software (did it on my wife's 6800). Here is a thread about software that I used - http://discuss.treocentral.com/showthread.php?p=1337000
Anyone Come Up with a Good Solution Yet?
I bought my Mogul yesterday. Today I put X-Button, Grumps Iphone and Slide2Unlock. After waking up the phone, it requires me to enter a password (that I have never set anywhere. It sounds like the problem referrred to in this forum, but no one seems to have worked out a good solution.
I don't think I am using Exchange Activesync - just 4.5.
Anyone?
I had the same problem when I installed the Iphone theme, It would randomly ask me for a password and then I would have to soft reset to fix it, I just uninstalled the iphone theme since it wasnt that good anyway.
Ditched Slide2Unlock
I deleted Slide2Unlock because when the phone sleeps after 2 min. I don't need a lock. But I kept the iPhone theme to see how that goes...
What's your opinion of Spb Shell that also has big buttons. That's what I need, instead of trying to use my fingernail on the Today screen. Think HTC is really going to release Touchflo for the Mogul?
BB
Same problem here. Is the slide to unlock program cause the problem?
i doubt it, ive been using s2u since i got my mogul and never had this issue
under Settings - Lock there is an option to enable/disable password prompt, the GUI doesnt let you enable password prompt without setting a password, but if an app changed the setting in the registry it might cause the issue
same issue here. i checked all the reg keys from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317107 so it's not the exchange policies. i have grump's iphone theme without slide 2 unlock installed.

Hi there,
I have a G4 Wizard, T-mobile AKU 3.3 Rom (German version), SIM and CID-Unlocked, O2 Genion Card, several extension.
What I realized, from time to that the today plugins disappear on my fresh hard-reseted wizard.
1st: a hard reset,
2nd: installed claunch or O2 Plus and activated the shortcut plugin,
....
worked with it, some time, then it is going to standby or I switched back to home screen
.....
3rd: after turning it on (or getting back to home screen) it sometimes loosing the shortcut bar. I never recognized it with other plugins.
Going to Settings/Today/Elements the plugin is still activated. Deselecting and selecting it again and pressing "ok" in the upper right corner activates it again?! This is confusing me.
I can't recreate the bug by any action. It happens randomly. But mostly after returning from stand-by.
It happens to fresh hard reseted states as well as when I installed some apps like Homezone,pocket breeze etc.
Is there any known problem like this?
Many thanks in advance.
That, unfortunately, happens a lot, especailly with cLaunch and I don't have the O2 plus plugin so I couldn't tell you if that one does it too. Here's a little app that you put in your windows startup folder that will get it to do it a lot less often hopefully. Ever since I installed it on my phone cLaunch only dissapears about once ever 10 times that I reboot my phone instead of almost every time.
Impressive, that seems to help me.
Thanks bro.
No problem, I know how much of a pain that is.
I have the same problem

Im Running Htc Home Under One Of My Ultimate Launch Tabs, And Everytime I Soft Reset My Touch, Ultimate Launch And Htc Home Pop Up On The Screen, Which Means I Have To Go To The Today Screen And Uncheck The Htc Home Tab Each Time. Can Someone Help Me Out And Let Me Know Why This Keeps Happening, Because I Set Ultimate Launch To Only Open The Htc Home Tab On Startup. I Dont Get Why It Shows Up Twice.
i have htc home as a plugin of UL and it works. Sorry dont know
Do you mean on starting there is HTC Home and also UL working although you disabled the HTC Home for the Homescreen ?
May it would help to install UL new ? (dont forget to safe the .ini file of UL)
I get what your saying so basically you have 2 htc home screens coming up. Since htc is being enabled on startup in the today screen I would think it may be the version of htc home but I dunno. It could depend on your device and what os your running also.
Ultimate Lunch, Well there would be Steak and Potatoes and probably Natalie Portman..... Umm what? Oh Launch? Ok My Mistake...
So you have HTC Home IN Ultimate Launch. But you get to. If its Enabled in Ultimate Launch, then Go to your Today Screen Settings and make sure it isn't Checked in there. Just see what happens there.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20605
can you suggest a better rom to flash to? i cant seem to find the most basic 6.1 rom, im trying to customize it myself
I don't suggest ROMs, too much personal opinion. Maybe you can try installing Schaps AdvancedConfig and Doing what I recommended for Marty. I can't remember the RegSettings and too Busy to Look but I wonder If that maybe why.
this is sort of a "duh" comment but have you used HTC Home Customizer or or any other program to unlock HTC home? If its locked that might be the problem.
JimmyMcGee thanx for trying to help but i have tried locking and unlocking home but still same thing.........i think i have narrowed it down to weatherpanel? just did a hard reset ...started installing my cabs and i think it started happening after weatherpanel was installed...
WeatherPanel does cause some issues under UL. I had the exact same issue. Once I installed, it it would hang for a long time any time I made changes to the UL config. I kept restarting it cuz I thought it was hung. BUT a couple of times, I let it play out and didn't soft reset. After a couple of times of "letting it run through" without resetting, then it just stopped being a problem. I can't explain it. ANd I can't guarantee it will stop happening for you. But now I have WP in UL with NO issues...
UL doesn't start after hard reset
Hi, could someone tell me what am I doing wrong?
I hard reset my phone.
Previously, I saved the UltimateLaunch.ini on the Storage Card. After reset, I did copy/paste of that file in Program Files/Ultimate Launch.
Next, this is what's happening - I activate UL as a plugin, and it shows distorted.
Then, I dis activate it and activate another one, randomly. It shows on the Today screen, as expected.
But then, when I try to re-activate UL, it doesn't show anymore.
I try to activate any other plugin - no one shows up.
I soft reset - I still cannot activate any plugin, if before reset, UL it was checked. If before reset, I uncheck UL and check something else (Calendar, e.g.), then the Calendar will appear on the screen.
Long story short, if I activate and deactivate UL, it will not re-appear again.
I did not have yet purchased the license - not sure if that has to do with anything.
Could someone help me?
hi ,
I have an HTC Touch sync with exchange 2007.
the default settings pop up the password screen each 15 min .
does anybody know any "screenpaper" soft that may change skin this password screen? it's possible with spb shell ,but as I don't like it , it's 11 mb just for a password screen .
Any idea? S2U2 doesn't work , dockware neither
many thanks
good luck getting help. I posted this question a while ago with no answers. the only thing i have found is to totally get rid of it with a reg edit. try searching google for it if your interested. this will get rid of it and if your company doesnt enforce there policys of the password protection it will let you change it. if they do the next day it will reset and you will have to do it again or bribe your IT department to change your security settings. as far as skining it I dont think it is possible or if it is you will probably have to make a program to run over it. hope this helps.
I use BlackBerry Connect 4.0.0.103 on my HTC Kaiser running WM6.1. It works fine, however I would prefer Exchange ActiveSync. The IT policy that has been defined by our IT dept enforces a complex password policy. This means the default WM6 'Lock' is replaced by the BlackBerry Security one and must be a combination of letters and numbers and cannot be disabled. By default it is set to 10-minutes of inactivity, however this isn't enforced and you can reset this to up to 60-minutes however it cannot be disabled as the 'Password Enabled' checkbox is checked and greyed our. This is a real pain, plus when the policy refreshes itself it resets to 10-minutes. If you are driving with it in a cradle there is no way the password can be entered. With the previous WM6 lock a simpler 4-digit PIN could be used.
I have read the various posts on stopping the 'BlackBerrySecurity(BBD0)' Service to disable this however it doesn't work with this version of BBC (and probably the latest version as well?). Yes it stops the service, but after a period of time (probably the inactivity time?) it puts the device into a state that cannot be 'woken up' - power button doesn't work, incoming phonecalls or SMS do not wake it. All you can do is soft reset it, which makes this supposed workaround unusable.
I have searched high and low and cannot find a way around this annoying 'corporate lock'. I am grasping at straws here but was hoping someone has worked out how to disable or reset this policy? I have read posts on how to remove the IT policy from 'real' BlackBerry devices but none for the WM version of BlackBerry Connect.
Any help is appreciated. And before anyone asks why, asking the IT dept to disable this isn't an option.

Andy, you have my complete sympathy - I have the same issue. I use Memmaid which can disable this. However, on every soft reset you need to go into Memmaid every time.

Hi Paul,
Do you not also get the 'sleep-of-death' behaviour after you stop the BlackBerry Security service? I could live with disabling the service after a soft-reset as I don't reset it very often. However I also get the 'sleep-of-death' where there is no way of waking the device up after a period of inactivity - only option is a soft-reset.
I am just hoping our IT dept see sense and enable Exchange ActiveSync in the near future....

Hi Andy,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I have been trying wwwes' mortscript and have not had any luck yet.
With regard to your question, there is no "sleep-of-death" behaviour after stopping the Blackberry Security Service. There are no after effects at all. If you don't mind having to input your password and then disabling the Blackberry Security Service in MemMaid after soft resetting, then this will definitely work fine for you. You can set your phone up to automatically start MemMaid following a soft reset. You do this by putting a shortcut to MemMaid in your startup folder in the Windows directory. You can even make sure MemMaid starts on the same screen as last visitted by going into advanced tools within the MemMaid programme, so you will only need to tap on the green button next to "Blackberry Security" and then exit MemMaid.... Quite easy, but as soft resetting is such a good thing to clear ram and make programs run quicker/smoother, I want this to be without having to wait 1 minute & then having to do all this faffing about.... I'll post back if wwwes gets back to me with my query on the Mortscript method.

This isn't how my Kaiser behaves, it may have something to do with the version or even the security policy. If I stop the BlackBerry Security Service I always get this 'sleep-of-death' behaviour. I have tested it many times and it is always the same. It is really annoying......
Ah well, apparently our IT dept has realised ActiveSync exists and are testing it at the moment so I might get my wish at some point in the near future...

Hi Andy,
I wonder - are you stopping the Blackberry Security or deleting it? If you delete it then it will crash on you. Have you tried MemMaid and just stopped the application? I am still trying to get this Mortscript to work, but still no success. I think this would be the answer to our problem because it doesn't interfere with the IT policy.

Look, believe me I know what I am doing......
I am using DotFred's Task Manager. I open the 'Services' tab, select the 'BlackBerrySecurity(BBDO: )' service and select 'Stop'. This then stops the annoying lock/password screen every 10-minutes. However if the phone goes to sleep for more than 10-minutes you can't wake it back up, all you can do is soft reset it. It doesn't ring, none of the buttons respond - it's in a 'sleep of death' as I described it initially. The only indication it is still alive is the GSM LED flashes.
I am just living with it at the moment and waiting for Exchange ActiveSync to be enabled for my account.

Bad luck. Sounds like a complete pain in the butt. I couldn't live with having to unlock it every 10 minutes. Chase your IT department up!
Andy,
I have managed to (partly) get the mortscript thing to work. I have got it working so that I do not need to disable the Blackberry security after a soft reset. In fact it is running all the time. The mortscript works nearly in an instant, so won't interrupt you in any way. In any event, it only operates when you are not using it by default!
See this link for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3712096#post3712096
I hope you can get this working fully on yours..... I can't seem to get it to remove the need for inputting the first password immediately following a soft reset. However, it does work at other times. I am still trying, but am a complete newbie to Mortscript.
Good luck.
