I set my WM6 device to lock itself after 5 minutes.
However, I don;t want that to happen when I'm using mediaplayer. Is that possible? I can't find a setting for it.

Is there any way to get it so that the device lock (pin lock) can be disabled when connected to ActiveSync or a charger? If I have the phone in the car it locks after a time, which is a real bore.
Maybe there is a registry entry for the delay before locking and this can be changed using a program (activated by keystore / button pressing)?
Any ideas most usefull, as I need to have the pin in place as the Prophet is a minefield of information!
same problem !!!!
the device lock it self during when i try to take good shot be camera !!!
so i need to enter the password to i can back again to camera
if only the device lock it self when i turn it off like window 2003
this will be great
Posted from another Pocket PC / Smartphone website, i have applied it to my phone but not been able to test it yet....
1. Get a registry editor (I used minied of sourecforge.net, because its opensource, but there are many others available)
2. Go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}
- The value called AEFrequencyType will be 1. Change it to 2.
- Ensure the value called AEFrequencyValue is 0
Exit the editor and reset the device.
From now the device should only lock to the password screen when the power shuts off, as per pre-AUK2 behaviour.
Note that if you go in to the lock settings screen, it will try to change the AEFrequencyType value back to 1. Also, this will *not* work if you have an Exchange 2003 enforced policy for this setting active. The policy will overwrite it.
Thanks for that
I will give it a try and see what happens.
Works like a dream!
Brilliant. Thanks for the reg hack. Brilliant and works a treat. Now, whenever the mobile is connected to ActiveSync or charging, no pin lock.
Glad to be of service, thanks for letting me know it works.
Hi
I would like to change the "timeout settings for today". Right nu I can choose 1 to 12 hours, but I rather want to choose 5-60 minutes. Is this possible? I start every program from the today screen, using SPB pocket plus. I have search but didn´t find anything that could help me
Hans
I also want to change the time-out setting for today on my HTC Touch Pro in 5 minutes. It must be as easy as updating the correct registry item.
Nobody a solution yeat for the above 1 month old request ?

hack "Today Timeout"
Is this thread still active or should I begin a new thread on the subject?
Is there a way to hack "Today Timeout" to timeout in minutes instead of hours? Or better yet, to get the PDA to always return straight to the Today Screen when powered on?
The Today Timeout (Settings>Personal>Today>Items) in Windows Mobile 6 goes down only to 1 hour. At the very least, I would like to be able to set the Today Timeout to 10 minutes or less.
By the way, I realize that On my HTC Diamond, if I have a security password set, it will always revert to the Today screen. I however do not want to use a password.
There are other threads but they don't quite address my issue:

Anyone know how to do a registry hack on this?
I tried changing the value on touch 3G but it doesnt work, even after rebooting it, what gives?
Automatically lock --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked
dont work on my htc jade
Anyone knows why? I don't want to install any software for the autolock. Changing registry seems to be the best fit for me. Anyone who can help? Many thanks.
Didn't work with me as well...
I was thinking maybe it has something to do with HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel\LockLevel being 0? Anybody tried changing this key to 1?
bump thread
Try CSDEVCTRL (search here in XDA) for your autolocking needs... Works like a charm!
You can try S2U2. This is a utility that will help you customize how to lock your phone while on battery and while on power.
It also allows you to set customized pictures as screensaver much like the ipod.
PM me for links
This may be more of a question specific to WM 6.1 than the Treo Pro itself. I really enjoy using a program that acts as a client to control and listen to my police scanner called Win500. (Main reason for buying Treo Pro with WM). It's a program that uses a custon TCP port via either wifi or evdo. My problem/goal is... I want to turn off the backlight and keep this app running.
I have played with what I think are all my options. Telling the device to turn off backlight after 30 seconds only dims the backlight but it does stay on. I am looking for one of two fixes. Either to be able to keep this program running and passing the audio to the speaker after hitting the top 'off' button. Or somehow have the backlight completely shut off after 30 seconds. Ideally it would be the first option so I could lock the key pad/touchscreen and have the clock screensaver. Possible Registry hack? Could a I make shortcuts with options specific to this program? I see you can turn the backlight all the way off in the settings.. I am a new with WM. So don't know if any of this is possible?
You should search for a registry hack to keep WiFi turned on while the device is in standby. If I'm correct this setting is available in Diamond Tweak, and HD Tweak...
The description for this tweak is: "Keeps WLAN online/connected in standby mode."
The values on the HTC Diamond used are:
1.
Code:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\Default
2.
Code:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Resuming\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\Default
3.
Code:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Unattended\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\Default
I checked this on my Treo Pro. The values are the same.
So just download Diamond Tweak and apply the tweak on your TP.
Don't mess around with other tweaks! Mind that the application is not written for the TP. There are a lot of tweaks that should work since it's both WM6.1. But better safe than sorry Backup your device before applying any tweaks!
Okay thanks I will try that. I do want more than just to keep the wifi running. Also, will need to keep the program running and have it pass audio to the speaker. Plus I use the evdo data more than the wifi. But I will give it a shot.
Use this - works great. I have it set to my HOLD side button.
Here is the Readme for it.

hi all
i want to use garmin for 30 min or much but after 1 min my device lights goes off and then display off and lock what can i do for disable auto device lock and auto off after 1 min
BR
weird, i don't have that problem.. try configuring your GMXT, go to settings --> display --> backlight override and check all boxes..
p/s: if u wanna enable auto rotate so that u could view the maps in widescreen mode, add these codes to your registry..
for hkcu\software\htc\htcsensor\gsensor\modulename, add registry value "Garmin Mobile XT" = "\Garmin\Que.exe"
for hkcu\software\htc\htcsensor\gsensor\WhiteList, add registry value "Garmin Mobile XT" = "QUE_SUBAPP_WND_CLASS"
Garmin in landscape
Hi, thanks for the tip!
I always wanted to see GMXT in landscape, but didn't know how to do it.
I have copy/pasted values to the suggested locations, but nothing happened.
The registry values I have created are string values. Should I try with e.g. dword, or something else?

hi man i check all boxe in setting -> display -> backlight but after one minute my device goes to lock stat and after that my display goes off .
i want registry address for time of suspend mode for device to lock and change it to example 20 min

Maybe you should check only the first one that says "always on".

I'm having the same problem. Garmin worked perfectly for the last 2 months up until last week. now it locks automatically (but you still have to press the unlock button to be able to slide across the tab) and it loses satellite reception for a second. To avoid it I have to, say zoom in or out on the map, every 50 seconds otherwise it locks after it reaches a minute.
Has anyone found a solution or is it just a case of reinstalling it?
Sorry to revive this thread but I also have this problem. "Backlight Override" is checked but still have the lock come on after a minute or so. Really annoying. I also try reinstalling but no help.
Could this have something to do with CHT editor's lockscreen? or BSB tweak's setting? Just a thought. I have been using Android mostly so haven't got time to test out all the setting to see if it will make any difference.
as a work around, can you just change your backlight settings when you need to use garmin?
