I have been searching around the internet looking for a program that will lock the touch screen while talking on the phone and give you a lock icon when not using the phone that can be unlocked by hitting the icon again. Is there a program out there like this? Also these forums have been great and a ton of help in getting my new HTC-PPC6800 running like a champ!
prefer is the program intergrated in my HTC tabs. Hope you all know something I don't!
just hit the power button on the side of the phone, or you can lock it with the lock in today. just go to start, today, lock.

The Today lock is ok but when you click to unlock it you go to another screen and confirm your unlock. Also it would be more convenient if it was a part of the HTC homeplug in tab.
search for "onlock"
new slide2lock version works good. just put a shortcut to it on your screen. with one tap it's locked.

I swear I did not change any settings, but starting yesterday my Wing would just lock itself when the screen shuts off. Anyone know how to disable this? Thanks
*edit*
another odd thing I noticed - I don't have to unlock when the phone's charging. very weird.
what programs are you using? If you hold down the end key for a second, the phone will lock. Maybe you are accidentally bumping it when you put it in your pocket or case.
Sorry I wasn't more specific... I'm running ttran's OpenTouch 3.0. when I turn on the screen (using the power button) I need to press unlock twice to get to the main menu. It's annoying and I'd like to get rid of it. idk... I didn't change anything and it just randomly started happening yesterday. help?
I agree with you PharmacySchool...I'm running Ttran's 3.0 ROM myself and the "locked" feature pop-up on me this afternoon, out of the blue. It is very annoying and I'm not sure what caused it to start happening. Was getting an address out of the contacts list, X'ed out of contacts once finished, clicked the power button to turn the screen off...next time I went to use the phone, it magically was locked and has been since. A real pain to have to hit the unlock button twice just to use the phone. Have played around a little with it, but no success on correcting the problem yet.
Make sure you're not overclocking the phone. This can cause lock ups if the CPU overheats or if it doesn't get the required voltage or for other reasons.
The lock I'm referring to and I believe PharmacySchool...is like a "key lock". How some phones have an option to lock the keys so it can't accidentally call someone if numbers get pressed by mistake or while in your pants pockets. Nothing to do with the CPU or it being overheated. All you have to do is press the button to turn the screen light off and instantly turn it back on...it's locked. You have to hit the "unlock" button on the bottom left hand corner and the tap the unlock button on the screen. After doing such...you can once again use your phone.
I have the answer!!!

I'm pretty knew at this but I ran into the same problem and I figured out how to fix it. I don't know all the fancy wording so bare w/me. On your main screen touch and hold your battery symbol/ 6th option down says DeviceLock with a green check/ uncheck that **** and your good to go.
NOW someone PLEASEEEEE create a slide 2 "answer" not a slide 2 lock. I am so tired of my phone answering its self in my pocket when I don't want it to.
A_C 's S2U2 has a slide to answer feature..... You should check it out.

I've installed S2U2-0.2-WM5 with Touch It v2.3 and had problems. I think I remember it having a slide to answer but I also remember it answering with the green button as well. Maybe there was a way to disable it but I don't know how.
Does it work better Open Touch v3.0. because thats what I'm running now.
WOW... thats an OLD version.... that version should not have the slide to answer.....Current Version is 0.99p. It can be found in the development and hacking forum. You'll need to enable the S2A feature with the settings program...Man the apps come a LONG way since your version...We got animated gif support, Random still backgrounds, an exceptions list so voice dialers will work properly and internet browsers will stay alive... Just try the new version.

NICE!!!!! Works good so far. Now I won't be divorced! LOL
Hi
Looked at S2U2 for a day or so. I have read the file son thier site but cannot figure this out.
What I want is to be able to press a key and invoke the lock like you can with any conventional phone. With S2U2 it seems you have to go to programs, and launch S2U2. Can it not be assigned to one of the 4 quick keys ?
Also can anyone explain the setting "lock when the device wakes up" ? Why would you want to lock the
device when it wakes up ? also "Lock when screen is blank" ? not sure what that means, afaics, my HD screen has never been blank.
thanks for any help

lock when device wakes up is the best option.

Hi kidnamedAlbert
What exactly does this option mean, I find it very confusing. Surely when "device wakes up", I (the user) has done something to wake it up, so therefore I want to use it - not lock it. This option confuses me or Am I missing something here?
My original screen lock has gone all of a sudden. Theres no lock icon that i can slide. Instead my phone just says ' to unlock the device tap unlock' .
Bit weird. Id like the original slider back if possible. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
press the windows button on the left side of the taskbar
then go down and press lock
it starts working again...its a common bug of the newer roms.
Suddenly my lock slider disappered too. Pressing the windows button and choose lock makes it work once but when I've unlocked it with the slider and set the phone to standby it won't appear again. Help... Very annoying.
Installing the HeartofWolf lock screen might fix it.. I never had this problem but it basically moves the lock slider to the bottom of the screen. Might also keep it up always and rule out this bug in sense..

It did move the slider to the bottom (Which was nice) but it did not solve my problem that the slider won't show up when I wake up the device :-(
Which is the exact cab that i need the slide bar down? I saw a list of HeartOfWolf cabs and didn't want to experiment one after the other to make sure it worked with Sense & HD2... Cheers...

I am looking to purchase this phone and have a query regarding the lock screen.
I used to have the I-Mate K-Jam, the lock screen on this phone used to lock on the Today screen if i'm not mistaken. I could basically see my today/tomorrow calendar items, no. of unread message etc. Since the k-jam i've had the i-phone and i have severely missed the today screen, there are apps for this on the i-phone but they get buggy then there's compatibility etc.
Does the WM 6.5 have the same lock screen, i know the new lock screen looks totally different, but i do understand there is a setting to enable the classic lock screen. Does the classic setting allow the user to lock to the today screen.
Any images would be great.
Thanks in advance
Anyone answer the above please.

Thanks but thats not really answering my question, all those images are of the new windows lock screen.
Has anyone got the classic lock screen on the HD2?
More to the point can the HD2 lock the screen on the 'today' screen.
Thanks

yes you can i have tried it...but first you have to disable the default lock screen in wm6.5
if you post that you got it, why not post how
go to settings > menu > all settings > lock > display tab choose windows classic from the dropdown.
then the phone needs to reboot and you have an empty original today screen..
to get sense back or put other items on the today screen got to settings > today > items tab
whatever you choose, now when you push a button it will show you a locked windows today or sense home screen..
edit: althought it takes an extra tap to unlock, it easier with one hand then the slider on top of the screen..
You can also try PocketShield which works nice on the HD2.
It has a "transparent lock" mode which might fit into what you are looking for. Not free though...
Not sure this is in the right forum since it's really a general WM question, but anyway...
I want to be able to view my today screen since it contains all my appointments etc even when the screen is locked.
I guess a transparent screen lock would solve the problem, but I havent found one yet.
Is there one?
Another solution would be something that kept the screen locked until I press the power button. Then it would be easy to unlock but still locked when it's not in use so I dont make calls etc without knowing it.
try s2u2 http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/s2u2-new-version-v2-30/ it will show your information on the lock screen

That's not good enough. I have everything specified just as I want it in my today screen and to find a custom lock screen that matches that is impossible to find. A transparent lock screen or a lock screen that gets unlocked automatically when I press the power button would solve it perfectly.
use the old (standart)lockscreen. like wm6.1
it is your homescreen with a unlock softbutton.
(i use wm6.1 and now i don't know why everybody is needing blown up lockscreens, when the old one was best )

How do I get the old style? If I show the lock object on the today screen it will still show the new 6.5 lock screen when I lock the phone.
i do not know how to get it back , but i know that it is possible.
i hope someone can show you the way.

Seems to work, thanks. Still interested in other soultions, but this will probably be fine otherwise.
or install Cookie Home Tab
it has customizable lockscreens, emphasis on multiple kinds of locks.
each has the ability to move the parts around like CHT always does. and you can make it fit your every need !

Does that requier HTC Sense? I'm using a clean rom without any HTC software, since I want to use the old today screen. This is very important since I use TodayAgenda.
