So I have done a little bit of searching and didnt really find and answer so I thought I would ask. After locking the device....to unlock you have to select unlock then touch unlock on the screen. My question is there a way that I can set that second touch button on the screen to another button? Basically so i dont have to touch the screen to unlock. Is this possible?
someone here on xda made a program so you only have to hit the one button, the softkey, to unlock. i don't remember the name though.
here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305402&highlight=simple+unlock

I can not find a way to unlock keyboard without tapping "Unlock" button on the screen. Does anybody know a solution?
Unlock then *
That is the only other way, so you have to open the keyboard.
can't unlock with '*' key
First: thank you for your replay!
In my keyboard '*' is in blue collor and to access this simbol it should first press blue dot key. That's why I can not unlock with keyboard.
Hi,
you can press the dot and the * at the same time, and it unlocks
Sorry for my english.

I'm always confused/intrigued about this, and why people would want to use the Unlock thing (unless its PIN protected or something??)
My Wizard times out after a minute to a blank screen, at which point pressing the touch screen or any button (except 'power') does nothing. I just tap the 'power' button and it 'unlocks'.
Likewise, I just tap the power button after usage to 'lock' the device immediately before throwing it in my pocket.
This was the functionality out of the box, one of the first things I did was remove the Unlock plug-in from my Today.
I use it, because if somebody calls you, or the alarm start, the wizard switch on automaticaly abd if you have it in the bag, you can call somebody.

Ah right, that probably explains that then.
And don't apologize, its 100% better than my Spanish!
I searched everywhere and couldn't find anything, but is there a way to set my wing to unlock when ever I slide the keyboard open. Kind of like how the sidekick works?
Thanks in advance.
if you press the off button at the top of the device, it will not only button and screen lock it, but if you change the configuration, it will also wake up, unlocked.
You can use slide to unlock, which is an iphone looking lock aplet. It makes regular unlocking prettier, and allows unlocking with sliding the keyboard.
Hello guys,
As U all know, S2U2 and S2P is in fully progress. And a good program developed to a nice looking unlock plugin. So I used this program since beta. And I thought to make this unlock program much easier in use by just tapping a 'single button' to unlock to the Today screen. That why I called it Press to Unlock.
We can make this by simple config files and use other (animated buttons) instead of the common slider button. AND THAT makes this unlock program much easier in use. A nice look with an 'animated' button. A simple lazy unlock plugin.
Are there people who are in it? Or willing to develop this idea? I think quite simple, but there will be a NEED for this idea.
So who's in??
Why not just an option within S2U2?
Wouldn't said button be easier to accidently unlock phone with? Defeating the purpose of a lock program in the first place? Maybe I am wrong.
You do know there is an option to do this in S2U2...right?
All you do is enable d-pad and then you can use the right d-pad button to slide the slider as well.
if all you want is a button to unlock the device, the BUILT IN device lock today plugin will do that for you. you have to press the left soft key then tap a button on the screen and it will unlock. it may not be skinable like S2U2 but its already in the device, so why not use it?
Ok im sorry if someones mentioned this already, its just that i noticed it now and thought id let everyone know just incase no ones tripped over the idea.
as we all know, when S2U2 is installed on the diamond, pressing the power button on the top locks the phone and puts it into the slide to unlock interface, however alot of people have noticed that by pressing the home button, it takes you to tflow3d thus the S2U2 lock becomes useless on the diamond as you can easily and accidently press the home key while the phone is in your pocket.
N e ways back to the "revelation",
i was playing around with secondtoday, where i used the standard wm lock, and then pressed the power key to put it into the S2U2 interface, i now realised that the phone was trully locked, and nothing would happen when you press the home key.
n e ways, i just thought wouldnt it be possible to make it so that by pressing the power button, both the S2U2 and wm lock start at the the same time, and then when u slide to unlock the standard wm lock is also disabled.
im sure some1's thought of this, but i just had to share my thought just incase
Or you can use the new 1.13 version of S2U2, I think it solves this?

And you enabled the key lock? It's disabled by default.
I thought the new "Key Hook" feature did it. I don't have a Diamond, so I can't confirm.

Sure I came along this idea long time ago when there are so many other lock programs flowing around.
Technically, there are a few issues:
- the lock & unlock process of S2U2 & the device lock has to be in-sync;
- S2U2 has always be on top of the device lock when locked;
- automate the device lock & unlock (most other lock programs have done this part);
- take care of the CallerID.
Recently this idea came across my mind again, as you said, because of the "Home" button of the Diamond... On the other hand, there is a "long press end key" function in the Diamond for activating the device lock. It looks like very suitable testing bed is right on my hand... so let's see...
P.S. The latest version do try to fix the "Home" button but in another way. You may read HERE for more.
im sure youl figure it out A_C, take your time.
Thanks for what youv done so far
By default, when I place a call I have the touchscreen locked.
How do I unlock the screen?
Simply touching the "unlock" button does not unlock the screen.
I know it is possible to change the default behaviour to have the screen unlocked during the call but I do not like this setup.
I struggled with this as well, and then looked it up in the online manual, the only way to unlock it is with the D-pad, the silver circle with the Palm logo in it. Navigate with that button to the unlock button and then hit the Palm logo, it will unlock screen and buttons. There is a setting in the Keyguard application (start-settings-keyguard) that lets you change this, simply remove the checkmark and the screen will not lock again.
