So I have been looking around the internet and on this site, and I found a few programs that lock the phone including the two programs created by vijay555 and armstrom but they just don't do what I am looking for. This is what I am looking for:
1) When I press the power button I want my phone go into sleep mode and lock
2a) When I press the power button again I want it to turn the screen back on and advance me to the screen where i just press unlock on the touch screen( not unlock on the soft keys and then to unlock on the touch screen. I would like to skip the soft key press.)
2b) Instead of the need to press the touch screen to unlock it would be great if when I hit the power key to turn back on that it allowed me to press the middle nav button(such as the lock on the palm 700 wm)
Hope someone can help! Thanks alot! I have a Cingular 8525!
well now once you hit the power button to sleep it will only leave the power button active, so you dont have to lock it before you put it to sleep.. also the latest version of battery status has an option that will lock the phone upon wake up.. now i know you are looking for something to lock it prior to sleep and unlock during wake up, but personally i think unlocking during wake up could cause issues if the phone is on your pocket.. you can also still answer calls while the phone is locked
VJDeviceLock locks on power off if required. Advancing to second stage could be done. Making device unlock on pressing enter is possible but semi-complex. I don't know if Matt is still developing, but I could update mine if required.... I'm very busy and pre-occupied, but if enough call for it I'll give it a go.

that would be amazing if you could look into it. I would really appreciate it!
hi, vijay555. does your device lock affect activesync synchronization? the one i tried always give out an error message, so i had to remove the program.
Don't know if it does. If it does anything at all, it should do the same as the normal device lock today screen plugin. Let me know if it does something else.

this one (included in the addon folder), when installed and set up, disrupts synchronization on my phone (xda2s on helmi's 3.2 rom). but i can still explore the phone via activesync.
i will try vijay555's program. thanks.

ok, you are referring to the AS on the pc getting disabled... or let me state that better, when you use that app to lock your phone it halts synch between pc and phone.. thats odd.. i will pull apart that cab and see whats up with it, however im not well versed on versions earlier than WM5.. but in theory it should work the same way.. i will report back
**EDIT**
wait, im an idiot, i dont need to pull it apart to answer your question, dont know why i didnt think of this earlier, when you put your device to sleep it should kill the connection over usb (why your able to browse via AS is still beyond me). i have experienced that on all the WM5 devices i have owned farrady, wizard, hermes...
**2nd EDIT**
That cab is doing exactly that, when you activate the device lock it puts the phone into sleep mode via reg key HKLM/Software/Devicelock and the dword "SuspendAfterCheck". now with that being said there may be a reg key to also disable power save modem on the active sync connection, but im not sure if it exists for earlier versions of WM
thanks, shogunmark. btw, my unit is already on WM5... and i got lost on the 2nd EDIT, lol!

oh, i thought your particular device was wm2003 device, my bad.. that 2nd edit showed a registry setting that suspends the phone when using that app, if you have regedit you can try to play with that setting and see what happens, the HKLM is HK local machine key in the registry.. its currently at a value of 0. from this app, you could try changing it to a 1. but then again that program may overwrite that value each time its ran, but i dont think so, its worth a shot
okay so now that i have played with my phone for a couple of days i know exactly what i want now. I would really like a program that would lock my phone and then shut it off with just the simple press of the power key on the side. I have used both the programs for vijay and the other device lock and they both will lock after device awakens, but I would really like it to lock before then. If that could be possible, i could then use the device lock program to run a program when the phone wakes, i will run vijays button press to press the left soft key and then all i will have to do is press the screen to unlock, thus exactly what i need is taken care of. Hopefully everything is understadable. I am super tired right now, but i have been testing all day and wanted to update the post.
@lance18: i'm not sure if i read correctly, but maybe you could opt to have your unit power off after a certain amount of time, without using the power button
start>settings>settings>power>advanced
@shogunmark: thanks for the idea. i just realized i could have one program run after locking my unit, so i chose activesync. i now have
no more problems synchronizing
Here are some of my question regarding my atom exec.
1. Why does the keyboard skin doesn't work with my atom exec? Did any of you make it work with our atom?
2. When I open the Power in the settings, the percentage of remaining power doesn't show up but the battey bar show the remaining power. (I will post some pictures if needed.)
Thanks in advance

Hello,

Thanks
Hi all,
Just would like to know if anyone of you experienced 'hanged unit' when you press the power off button or automatically turning off the device after a few minutes. Ive upgraded the unit from WM5 to WM6.5, but still the same problem persisted. To temporarily solve the problem, I will manually reset the unit and never press the power button or never turn off the unit. This decreases battery life eventually.
Please help.
thanks
Hi, I've had the exact same problem with my Atom Executive- haven't been able to find a solution till yet and the battery has to be charged several times a day if the screen is left on. Have you had any luck with fixing yours?

Have you try to hard-reset your device?
But becareful, because all of your datas and documents on atom exec's memory will be erased. You should backup all of your datas to some other place before you hard-reset your device.
By the way, which ROM that you used as your WM6.5 OS on your atom exec?
Have you try TJs ROMs for Atom Exec WM 6.5 21728?

Sorry for the delayed reply. havent found a solution to date. Im using WM 6.5 and also same problem using WM5. Temporarily I use a screen off application just to save power.

Me too, I lost my contact list because of that
My first guess would be your batteries are already weak. Try using a newer battery.
I´ve got nearly the same problem, but when my magician is off (sleep) too long it wont wake to WinMo. The only way to make it boot was holding pwr button for few seconds what made it hard reset... But when i formatted my battery 2 times, then used batclear just to be sure, it works like new!
Ps. My battery is AwFuL. It even does not have the front lid!
first is ur battery or your backup battery only,otherwise your phone is completely corrupted..........
