I decided to use the 'lock' icon...and set up my phone with a numeric lock. Now I absolutely HATE it....
Is there any way I can stop the phone from using the numeric lock?
Also, if I download and decide to use that sliding unlock program, will that override the numeric lock if there's no way the phone can stop using the numeric lock??

Goto start menu, settings, I think Lock is on the first screen to turn it off. If you use slide to unlock there is no input to unlock. just the slider.
Thank you very much!
Now....trying to figure out how to do the slide to unlock thing....
Copy the cab to your phone thru active sync or SD card. Soft reset after install. Then goto programs and start S2U2. You might get a error msg after install. Pay it no mind.

I am currently using the slide to unlock program and I love it, however I was trying to replace the factory keypad lock with the slide to unlock and i cant get it to work. If i got to start, settings, lock, I am unable to disable this factory lock, the check box is ghosted. so no matter what I do, whenever i restart the phone I have to enter my unlock code. I would like to just slide it to unlock it. I tried renaming the the s2u2.exe to endkey.exe and moved it over to the windows directory on my touch dual, still when i reboot i get the original keypad unlock.....any tips?

I installed S2U2 yesterday.. before that I did not use the builtin lock.
After installing S2U2 and starting it.. it locked..
It also locks after the set timeout value. I guess it is not linked to the factory lock app. So you need to use the S2U2 / Settings to use it.
Using the 'endkey.exe' functionally is as I believe to lock it usinge the call end key (holding it down for some time).
Hope this works for you
unfortunatly not, i still have the factory lock that overrides s2u2 whenever i turn the phone off and on
i'm using S2U2 0.96 as well and don't have this prob. fyi, i have:
settings > personal > lock > (checked) lock device if inactivity for 12 hrs
settings > system > lock device > (uncheck) auto lock device
(as i'm not using an English device, the above translated screen labels may be incorrect)

you need to overwrite endkey.exe with resco explorer. for me it worked.
but i think s2u2 was the reason why my device sometimes didn't woke up, so i don't use it anymore.
Hi all,
Do you know how to auto lock wm6.5 when you turn off the mobile? I speak about the "standard" lock screen not a software like S2U2.
Thanks in advance for the tweak.
Regards, Sylvain.
you can use smartlock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032
Or you can just check the Auto Lock in the Lock Settings. Then every time you boot the phone, turn on the screen, etc... it will prompt for your 4 digit pin and slide to unlock.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer but I would like to lock the phone without a digit pin. I don't know if there is a registry key for that or something I can change with Advanced Configuration Tools, HTCPedia, HD Tweak...
I'm sure I have seen an old post with this kind of trick but I can't find it that's why I need your help.
If you have another idea...
Thanks

Does exactly what you want! Remember to configure it after installing, under Start - Settings - System - Smart Lock.
You can"t do it by changing a registry key. A light application to auto-lock is LockDevice, link (and other applications links) here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
or simply use smartlock ... it's the easiest way to lock your device
I realise that this might not help you but, if you hold down the hang up button for 1 sec another menu appears and you can press lock. it also has other functions on the menu like cancelling data connections turning flight mode on etc.
hi. is there a way to quickly password lock the phone? anyone know? lets say im using the phone somewhere where dont feel secure, fear of it be stolen... can I password lock it quickly with a shortcut/ hardware button?k thanx
Anyone please?
Has anyone idea how this can be done? there must be away to activate the password lock immedieately?
I know you can set the password to 5minutes, but normal circumstances it would be annoying to always keep entering the pin. I wonder there must be a way to activate the password/pin lock immmeadiately to prevent unauthorised use (ie if phone gets stolen).
Dont know if this is what you mean. But try S2U2 it has a password lock that can be set to lock immedieately.
there is a program specifically for that called SmartPhoneTracker. i think some of the newer updates introduce an autolock feature...
check it out...
You could program the End Key to lock the device - in Settings, choose Long Press End Key and set it to Lock Device. Then when you press & hold the End (hang up) key, it locks.
Any good to you?

Since the WM phone lock had failed me twice by "forgetting" my password and cost me 2 hard-resets, I've decided to give it up for the S2U2 password lock instead. However, is there a way I can keep the default lock slider screen while using the S2U2 PIN lock? I know there's a tweak to get rid of the default auto-lock but I actually want to keep it and disable the S2U2 one.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
I am using a dot pattern for security to unlock my phone now so how do I make the initial drag/slide lock go away? I want the dots to show as soon as I turn on the screen, rather than having to slide unlock first everytime.
Thx
You can't do it. I managed to do it by keeping a titanium backup file of Settings Storage from version 2.1 u1. I restore it, set my lock pattern, and it completely disables the slide to unlock.
bummmer
is this still the case? no way to turn off slide to unlock and keep pattern?
