i encountered a very strange behaviour with my Touch Dual:
manually set HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\BatteryTimeout to 20
=> manually suspend the device
=> press power button to wake up the device
=> HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\BatteryTimeout changed to 7 (!)
anybody have similar prob? there should be an app doing this behind but i couldn't find it out.
it really annoys me because, combined with IdleStart of S2U2, my device is locked upon 7 seconds of inactivity!
pls help!!
thanks to glennza in this thread. it's found that the prob can be solved by setting LockLevel to 0. after all, seems location of this key has been changed to:
[HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel]
LockLevel = 0
(i couldn't find the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power] key on my Touch Dual)
[3 Jan] problem found: this reg key value reset to 1 upon every soft reset. as quick workaround i import a concerned .reg file upon every bootup (i.e. place a shortcut in Startup folder). could somebody advise a better solution?

Does anybody know why this happens:
Whenever I change registry (for example HKCU\Control Panel\SIP\..), after reboot it gets reverted to original value.
I used Total Commnader. Roms I tried: 2.17 (qtek) and 2.24 (cingular).
Help appreciated.
Thanks.
after changing your registry, be sure to save the changes by a soft reset. To do this, do NOT poke the reset hole with your stylus, but rather shut the device down with the on/off button. Hold it for 5 secs untill the warning pops up. By resetting this way, your device uses the 5 secs untill the screen pops-up to write the registry to the ROM. If you soft reset immediately with your stylus after chaning the registry, the device has not enough time to write the changes to the ROM. Therefore, after a quick soft reset with your stylus changes might not be saved and the registry remains unchanged.
Problems with Registry settings
I also have problems with Registry settings. For instance some values seems to change back after a turn off/on (power button). Does anyone have a good doc/link that explains which Registry settings that actually can be changed by CAB-files and stay changed ?
Just to mention - on an SP5 (sorry for this in Wizard/K-JAM) I had a CAB-file that changed the Contacts soft-button into starting a 3rd party application. This only changed when an incomming call/phone application was started..a little confused about that
Hi there I have a really weird problem, the left softkey on my 8125 changed itself last night while I slept. It is now "Phone" instead of "Calender". I liked it as Calender and I find it useless to have it as Phone when the phone key below it does the same thing. I went into HKCU/software/windows/today and there is no keys option to change. I don't get it. Anyone know a solution? I want my Calender button back.
With your registry editor - goto the today key you mention - create new key 'keys', in keys create new key '112'. Then create 2 new string values in the 112 key. 'Default' with value 'menu' and 'Open' with value ''windows\calendar.exe'' then turn off device with power off key (saves registry values) then power on. (Soft reset often does not save values)

Thank you so much that did the trick, I was just having a hard time wraping my head around it. I just wish I could figure out why it changed itself in the first place.

I used this some time ago an it worked but on original not clone:
A new RegDword, binary:
- HKEY CURRENT USER/ControlPanel/Keybd
- defaultkeylock from "1" to "0"
- then Soft Reset
So I suppose it does not work on clones.

i have clone too.....
sorry for my anglish :-/

tick - Do not lock buttons
and a result?
when Display is off either one press On/Off or double press of any other hard button will wake up phone when Display is off.
Better than any special f.....g soft
i dont have that option :-(
Have you tried the CAB file in this thread?
Have a look at this thread
"Wake up the phone with every button"
there is a CAB file that adds what you want to your settings
where?
where is that cab?my power button only works sometimes so i m pretty desperate at the moment.pleaseeeeeeeeeee ladssssss
how do you reset the automatic lock i disabled it but can not reinable it? thanks
Click on the top bar (where the battery indicator is, just to the left of the task mgr)-->press the button to the right of the battery charge percentage (looks like the previous battery indicator)-->Select the "advanced" tab-->Adjust as you wish, just make sure all boxes are checked and you select an appropriate delay. I currently have mine set at 10 seconds and 1 minute for both "on battery power" and "on external power." This should cause the phone to auto-lock after each respective delay period.
thats how i have it set right now. and its still only going to sleep after a period of time its not locking .
i ran this program
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4996782&postcount=2961
then i uninstalled it cause i didnt like the lock screen on s2u2 all boxes are checked.
i ran the same .cab awhile back. the only thing that put it back was a hard reset.
also just so you know, installing the dusk slider screen will revert you to the old winmo locker when you uninstall it. so beware of that too
how do i do that? will it wipe the data?
You will need to reverse the registry changes that the cab made, then your lock will work again, make the following changes in your registry:
HKCU - ControlPanel - Keybd - DeviceLockWhenSuspend - change value to "1" from "0" (no quotes)
HKCU - ControlPanel - Backlight - AutoDeviceLockEnable - change value to "1" from "0" (no quotes)
Hope that helps, had the same problem
thank you very much
well i have not gotten this fixed but that is ok i have tried alot and i am used to the manual lock which isnt bad and the screen shuts of in 10s and it goes to the last screen which isnt to bad.
I've been scouring the forums with no luck so far, I need a way to disable the lock that is attached to a short press of the End Key on my Touch 2's.
Reg Tweak, app any suggestions welcome, its causing me quite a problem, I want to roll these out for a corporate app and the kiosk I use is not blocking this operation.
Cheers - Sam
i m also searching for the same solution , any help ?
if you search by google you can find solution. For this time i write solution but in future search first with google or in this forum with search tools
For disable lockscreen you can modify this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen:Enable "0"
You can use ceregedit (with pc) or PHM registry editor

Dude,
I've tried doin that but all u're gonna do is invoke the old lockscreen from previous WM version... I think what the other guy wants is totally no lockscreen at all =)
yep
tried that, we really need the lock and screenlock removing so this button does nothing at all
lockscreen dll?
I think that the function is given by dll lockscreen.dll. Tonight I try to replace it and see what happens. We'll let you know later.
hi, I was trying some software in my Touch and I got myself into situation where my phone did not lock up after pressing "power off" button but I was still able to lock the screen using Lock software button/icon. It was simply result of installing S2U2 and configuring it as default lockscreen.
If you perform these steps only known way to return to default state is hard reset!
Install S2U2.
right after installation goto start menu > directory s2u2 > click on S2U2 and it should se itself.
Uninstalll S2U2
in settings > lock set your default lock screen

Well you can recover the original lock screen and everything by downloading this file http://acs2.mstreme.com/download/RestoreWM65DeviceLock.cab.
For more info check s2u2's FAQ, under WM 6.5, "Q. How to restore the WM6.5 built-in lock?", here http://67.43.3.117/~acs2co/S2U2-faq.html
disable in WM6.5 the Key Lock / Keylock at Standby
I find a possibility to deactivate the Key lock in standby at Windows Mobile 6.5 :
with this registry key:
Add a new "DWORD" value
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Keybd
Name: DeviceLockWhenSuspend
Value: 0
after this take a softreset and have fun
