Every time an event occur on my device, like incomming SMS or so, the screen is enabled and the button lock is turned off. I want the device to play the sound but not unlock the screen and hardware buttons.
Has anyone developed a program that can run in the background and take care of this? I'm sick and tired of taking the phone out of my pocket and ten programs are running and using battery!
Sitting in classroom......recieve SMS (i forgot to turn volume down)........embarrassed....thinking.....I'll read it later.....ten seconds later.... my favorite song is all over the room.....thanks to my windows media player shortcut on the today screen...

something like this? not sure if it'll solve your prob but give it a go...
oops; silly me i forgot to include how the bloody thing works 8)
--------------------------
ScreenLock is a very small and handy tool to turn off a PPC's display, and lock all the hardware keys, including power button. It'll keep your PPC alive even without any program running. It'll help you to save battery power while streaming or downloading big files, or playing music.
To turn on the display and release the lock, just press on the left most hardware button (first button) and the right most hardware button (forth button) simultaneously. Only these two buttons are pressed down together can unlock your PPC.
I can't unlock the screen.....The left most hardwarebutton must be the Startmenu button... and the rightmost must be the OK button.....?

ok guys, it works this way:

to unlock use record+calendar hardware buttons pressed simultaneously.

... as it was not designed for pda phones, it doesnt lock green and red buttons. this is good and bad. good is that you can pick and hang up phonecalls. bad is, that you don't see who is calling, and when phone buttons are pressed, screen is flashing very funny way.
I've found the perfect application that locks my device! 1-pass from Omega One! It does exactly what I want

1-pass does not pass!
i've been looking for a similar app for ages so downloaded the trial of 1-pass.
After 15 minutes of trying to get it to work I've given up and uninstalled it. Problems I encountered were:-
1) tapping my soft key password did not unlock the machine, it just sat on the 1-pass security screen (there is no enter key to tap after entering the soft key password).
2) activesync claimed the password was incorrect and refused to connect.
I changed password several times, studied the help file and the support web pages but found nothing to help.
Maybe I was missing something, but if I have to spend more than 10 minutes and 3 resets to get something working on my xda II then its not worth keeping it in my opinion.

I'm not sure, but I think you don't have to enter the password. You can just assign the password to the button combination.
According to the help, to enable activesync to connect, you must enter the soft key password. Also I don't remember seeing the option of not assigning a soft key password in settings.

GREETINGS!
It is worth keeping in, if you get it right.
After first installation you get the screen like " Wecome to 1-pass....." wherein you had to feed the hard keys password. The next is "Retype hardware key Password.....", then comes the"Enter backup password", retype it and comes the screen "Thank You the password have been successfully changed. I think this can be done by going to >Start>settings>1-Pass, and then change password.
If the password is not accepted then, any of the two will let u enter the setting.
As far as active synch is concerned, it only accept your backup, softkey password.

Anyone have a solution for this? I have my Wizard go to standby after a short time and always make sure it is in standby when I put in in my case. However, when I receive a call and pull it out of the case, I almost always press one of the buttons. So when I answer the phone I have the camera going, contacts open or the connection manager open. I use all the buttons so I don't want to disable them completly. I wash there was a way to disable all buttons except the answer button for like 5 seconds after a call starts ringing. Or, be able to set buttons to not activate unless pressed for 2 seconds or so. Or, require 2 presses to activate. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Turn on the password (4 digit one is fine) and set to 0 minutes, the phone will "lock" as soon as you go into standby but when it rings you will be able to answer with the red/green buttons but nothing else until you put in your password.
Thanks, I will give that a try. I used a password before but it slowed things down so much that I removed it. I have done quite a bit of optimizing since then and will try it once more.
it does slow the use, and gets annoying (i still use it) but it does work until i find a decent app to do it. All it really needs is 2 touches or 2 buttons to unlock but not found anything yet... \
I have solved this with litle less work .I have Device lock Bar on the top, under date , so you need twice down and middle buton to lock the
device.
device lock doesn't seem to play well with the password application. if you have password activated you can do a device lock but when you put your device on standby and bring it to full power it is unlocked. if you use device lock without password it works.
any solution to lock keyboard during a call ? i always active some functions with my ears(...) when i speak
starseb - switch your phone to stand-by mode... the radio (phone part) should remain on, and you can continue calling. Then just switch it back on when done ( or not %) )
sorry for my english, but i make i make a mistake. i would say how to lock screen during a call.

Is there a good way to unlock by pressing just keys?
Try christoph's deltaLock map it to a hw button then set it to be unlocked by the same hw button.
I'd like to do two tweaks to my Touch HD but after searching the forums and wiki I still haven't found out how or if these things are possible. I've also looked around both HD Tweak and Advanced Configuration but can't find the tweaks I'm looking for.
1) Under normal behaviour when the device is locked it will automatically minimise any running applications and return to the home tab on TouchFlo3D. When the device is unlocked again the last application used, which is still running, is not restored to the foreground.
I would like the device to either restore the application that was in the foreground, if any, when the device is unlocked (so the home tab is still shown when locked) or otherwise not minimise the application running when the device is locked.
2) Reduce the delay between holding down the 'end call' key and the device locking itself. It is slightly too long for my liking.
Any ideas? For those interested I'm running an application called Bow Buddy to score my arrows in Archery. When using the device these things are two big annoyances as I have to lock the device to ensure no calls are made or my score isn't 'adjusted' when I slip it back into my pocket .
Thanks in advance.
I also think holding the end call button is too long, should be 1 second.
search for application "csdevctrl" . with that solution you can handle all what you like.
Therefor i prefer to disable fast sleep with HTC HD twaek.
mine seems to have a bug, if you set the hd to ask for a lock code when it boots up (i dont mean the pin code) the long hold of the end key doesnt lock it, it seems to be either ask for lock code when start up OR be able to lock it by holding the end key to stop you pressing keys accidentally.
Its a bit of a pain cos i got my tytn stolen and it was only the lock fuction that stopped someone getting all the personal data.
Hi,
Phone Lock on my HD2 is set to ask for password if phone is unused for 15 minutes. But my HD2 ask for Phone Lock password each time the screen goes off. Is it possible to change this behavior?
I have the same problem. The phone lock is set to 24 hours, but if the dispaly goes off and i power it on the hd ask for the phone lock password, too.
Can someone help?
Usually if I don't want the phone to lock, I just set the screen not to turn off at all. Under settings, display etc.
HI,
i want, that the screen is locked but only with the slider. At the moment i slide to unlick and then i have to enter the phone lock passwort. But this password should only appear if i restart my HD2 (for this reason i set the phone lock password option to 24 hours).
with my "old" HD this works great.

Strange, does this fix work for everyone else?
After I installed it, once I press the power button to shut the screen off, when I press any of the hardware buttons, it dumps me to the screen that I was on, but no longer asking me to swipe. I guess I'm looking for the fix so that the below behavior happens:
1) If I press any of the buttons before my "timeout" happens, phone should ask me to swipe my finger to "unlock" the screen.
2) If I press any of the button after the "timeout", then phone should ask me to swipe but then also ask me to punch in a PIN or complex passwd, depending on the setting.
Are there any registry hacks that can do what I described? or does it do exactly that and it's my particular phone that isn't working?
thanks!

Having been interested in exactly the same thing, it seems like this cannot be done at present. The lock is either there with a password or not there at all. My current compromise is to set a one digit pin, but that's a bit pointless really.
The slider can be added with S2U2 but this seems to defeat the object somewhat...
I have the same problem. I'd like to be able to lock the device (or at least to turn off the screen) without typing the password at each unlock. I set it to 24 hours.
The patch should be fine as temporary solution
Password lockout problem solved
Great,
this has solved my problem that intermittently and usually overnight I get 'incorrect password message' when I try to unlock, only solved by a soft reset which is rather worrying.
I don't want to have autolock, especially every time I switch on and off like you all.
This little add on allows manual lock (by setting widget on screen with SPB mobile shell), and I have set default to 12 hrs for password screen.
Many thanks
Rory

Ha! Think that's worrying? ...You're right.
I had this a few times in the past and each time was able to solve it by a soft reset.
Not the last time, though. After trying numerous soft-resets, I finally saw no other way out than to hard-reset my device. In the end, it didn't even display the "incorrect password" dialog anymore. I suspect I had entered an "incorrect" password too many times, but the device did not manage to present me with the "enter a1b2c3" prompt that it usually does when that happens.
Very, very frustrating. Some quick googling gives a few reports of this happening to other people, not just on HTC handsets either. Not too many though, so it sounds like it's pretty rare.
(For the record, running 1.48 WWE here, had a 7-digit simple PIN set as the device lock password, with Windows Default display)
i have the same problem it asks for password every time i unlock the phone and the bad thing is that sometimes even correct password doesnt seem to work so that i have to soft reset or wait for half an hour b4 trying the password again , just confused about it . australia
i took out my password for now. i have to reset once in 2 days now to unlock phone. i wont be able to make a call in case of an emergency so better option take it out.

Is there any fix for this problem yet?
with S2U2 you can set up a password config. (require password every: 5mins/15mins/1hr/ 4hrs or 12 hrs) S2U2 seems to eat my battery up though, thats the downside. also you have to download the "disable autolock" cab for it to work from the tweaks an mods sticky in themes/ apps forum. its a shame about the battery drain as this app is awesome but definately worth a look.
sorry heres linkhttp://s2u2.ac-s2.com/
Same problem and no answer until now ?
I also have the problem that I cannot configure my HTC HD2 that the screenlock works without PIN. I like to start the secure lock only after a certain time i.E, but there is only the way everytime with PIN or at anytime with PIN.
Sometimes mostly overnight the device "forgets" the correct PIN and I have to make a softreset. After done this , I can enter the oriinal PIN.
Is there no solution until now ?
Is there any idea what to do.
Read tip 27 of the Sticky Tips and Tricks - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638 - then the PIN will only be required after the timeout, not every time you lock the screen.
The bit where it doesn't accept the password is a known bug reported elsewhere, but there's no fix yet; I wish there was, because I get it occasionally.
Resolve screen lock issue by editing registry
Enable/Disable the Exchange security policy – HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023: 0 = Enabled; 1 = Disabled
Inactivity time
HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}\AEFrequencyType: 0 = No inactivity time; 1 = Activity time enable

Until the buggers push it out again and you get fed up of having to set a PIN then edit the registry every day
Incidentally, is there a way to lock the screen without a PIN after a set period of time? All I can find is either a manual lock or a lock with a PIN.
Slidelock & pin code every time driving me nuts!

I made these exact reg edits (my very first registry edit!) and it's made no difference at all, my HD2 still asks for pin every time I switch off & on.
I want to keep the slide lock to prevent accidental button presses when device is in my pocket, but the pin input is a pain my previous device only asked for it once every 24 hours or after powering up the phone. Has anyone solved this yet?
Should I change the registry back to pre-edited?
Disable hardware buttons
I realized one thing that is draining my battery is the accidental press on hardware buttons when my hD2 is in my pocket. Is there a way to disable the hardware buttons other than the end/power button when the screen is turned off ? It is silly that the press of any hardware button turn on the screen ...
If I press the right-hand button to put my HD2 in "suspend" (i.e. still on and able to receive calls but with the screen off and saving power) then it always insists on being "unlocked" as soon as I turn it back on. This was originally only mildly annoying - just required me to slide the slider - but since I've connected to my office Exchange server it now also inists on me entering a 4-digit PIN whenever the phone is unlocked. So now, just to bring the phone out of sleep mode I have to press the power button, slide the slider, then enter a 4 digit pin and press the "unlock" key. This is driving me up the wall! Is there any way to get the phone to be already unlocked when it comes out of sleep mode?
I'm using the T-Mobile version of the HD2, unflashed, if that makes a difference.

Sounds more like an Exchange issue to me....
I do know that connecting to an exchange server can force the phone to ask for a PIN, which is fair enough really. What happens if you use BsB Tweaks and turn off the Auto Lock now? I'm guessing that it will still ask for a pin, but you won't need to slide to unlock.
Tip number 27 on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Now it should only ask for the PIN after the timeout period, not every time.
Try looking at my reply on the following thread. Works great for me
