When I engage the native device lock on my HD I find that the volume buttons are still operable! Is this just a problem with my device or has anyone else experienced this.
Also does anyone have a solution to this annoyance that does not involve installing S2U2 (even though this program does render the volume buttons inoperable) or similar?
Can anyone confirm that their Touch HD locks the volume buttons when key locked please?
Same thing here
I can confirm the "bug".
Yup, same on mine here!
Same here - very annoying fault/bug!
mine is ok, vol buttons do not work when the device is locked.
Did you try using your vol button in sleep mode (screen off) or just lock mode?
Same here and it's driving me mental
Have compare the menus on this to the other HTC devices and found that the Lock Buttons Setting is not on this one.
I dont know why they have left this out but at a guess that because of the new 3.5mm jack they are allowing for people using as a walkman.
I accidentally found a solution to it here
Many thanks Prof!
"they are allowing for people using as a walkman." That must be why David!

I'm using an out the box Orange Touch HD (rom - 1.19.61.1 WWE)
I have found that the volume key still works even when the keylock is active.
I have used HDTweak already for other things and couldn't see anything relating to this. also searched forum to no avail (maybe not well enough )
Does anyone know of a way to fix this as it clearly seems to be an oversight.
Thanks in advance.

At a guess, i think its meant to be like that so you can adjust the volume if you are using it as a music player without having to unlock the phone. Does it affect you when you use the phone? (sorry i don't know how to help but I just thought I'd add my opinion)
thanks for the reply. i understand what you are suggesting but if i press the volume key then by default it adjusts the ringer volume and not the system volume. This is a problem as when its in a pocket i have already had more than one situation where I have gone to get the phone out and without realising, turned the ringer to silent.
I have a related difficulty... Hope you don't mind me adding to this thread rather than setting up a new one...
If my phone (Touch HD on ROM 1.56.405.1) is PIN-locked and I receive a call, I'm unable to change the in-call volume without telling the caller to wait while I unlock the phone and alter the volume... Is there any way of allowing the volume keys to work in this situation without having to unlock? I've search high and low for an answer or some suitable app to handle this.
Thanks.
Sorry - just done another search in these forums and have seen some similar questions and responses... I'll take a look there.

Hi,
I tried using the volume keys when the device was locked, you can indeed adjust the ringer volume whilst the device is locked, although if you try doing this after you switch the screen off by pressing the top power button, pressing the volume keys has no effect then.
Providing the screen is off, you shouldn't have any problems switching your phone to silent unintentionally .
Just thought I mention this.
it's a known problem that regards standard windows mobile locking system. Only solution is using another locking program (s2u2, pocketscreen, touch lock pro, lockmelite and so on). There are on this forum aplenty.
regarding to the other problem with PIN and incall volume i am not really sure but again iirc it's a winmo default locking "feature".
strange...
When I use the keylock (long press endcall-button), my volume keys won't work.. even when the screen is on.
This has been on my stock rom (1.14 NLD), new stock rom and on Dutty's 3.3 XT...
Grtz,
Degake
How to lock all buttons except Power button on HD2 ? (When the screen is off)
I have tried the suggestions from here but it just doesnt work...
Does anyone know a solution for this ?
Key Lock Cab Does not Work on HD2
Would also like to know if anyone found a solution on how to lock all keys on the HD2 except for the Power (end) Key.
Thank you
Key lock; any key power on
Me three. No one else seems too bothered

Not got my HD2 yet so not had a chance to play around, Coming tomorrow at
last.
Anyone tried this: S2U2 (Slide 2 Unlock 2) http://www.ac-s2.com
I have been using it on my Gsmart T600 and I love it, Great little lock app
and one app I will be trying out on the HD2 tomorrow.

Or PocketShield, for that matter - keeps screen from coming on when buttons are accidentally touched: http://forums.jdbp.mobi/download.htm
Last time I looked it was $7.00 US or there abouts.
I have the same problem of locking and unlocking
use a headset to answer a call completely unlocks the screen, and conversations are interrupted, it is unacceptable .... Managing lock unlock the screen to review by HTC. For information, the HD1 does not have all these problems!
And whats the solution now? (exept using pocketshield).
I must say it is a shame that HTC is not including a full working lock-app for such a device with recessed hardwarekeys before selling it. This is the first thing a designer should think off !! If such keys could be accidently pressed it is a must to provide a softwaresolution.
Is it a bug or a feature?
Can proximity sensor use to solve this problem. When HD2 in my pocket proximity sensor prevent to accidental unlock, like phone conversation.
how to lock all buttons exept the power button in wm6.5 ?
In wm6.1 it was possible to change that in settings/keys menu. But in wm6.5 this is gone for some stupid reason!
I dont want to use ext. app like pocketshield for such a basic and simple feature.
Reason: when phone is screenlocked - any hardwarekey wake up phone from standby. And of course the screen pops up and drain battery. HD2 keys are recessed and in the pocked can easyly accidentialy get pressed. When screen weaks up for some reasons (incoming call or other notification event) the buttons are not locked and i dont need to describe what funny things can happen then (just imagine on your own). Even accidentialy changes to my settings happened in my pocket without recognising.
HTC: this is ridiculous.
Pls help. Is there maybe a easy reghack to activate this basic feature again, like it was implemented in previous Rom versions?
the button lock in WM6.5 is the same as WM6.1 (got X1 before)
but in HD2 it's different.. and I don't think anyone solved this problem yet...
No known solution indeed, apart from using S2U2, and if you want to save more battery adding proximitylock.
what if you locked the keys while you are making a call with bluetooth and you want to look in your phone? You'd have to press the "end call/power" button..
Also since the power button turns the screen off, I automaticly press the same button to turn the screen on when I'm not making a call.. I can't count the times I've ended a call by accident like this.. another great design flaw of this phone
I still hope someone will find a solution for a working hardwarebuttonlock
no one found a solution yet?
i'm having the same problem and strangely i am irritating myself to death on this,
Not a good job HTC!
hi,
i have the following problem.
If you lock your phone via hang up key you can simply activate it via home button (press twice).
I desperatly look for a possibility to deactivate this behavior, cause i already phoned like 1 hour accidentially with this "bug".
Any help appreciated!
I think setting up lock pattern will help. Even if the phone wakes up it won't be able to make calls or other unwanted stuff.
i have the standard unlocking slider, which is really fine.
the problem is that you can go around it with the home button.
so i think using a patting will not help
i have to disable the home button while the screen is off or something.

You can't "go around" the lock pattern with home button. So the device still can wake up in your pocket but can't make a phone call
I think this is the only real workaround for this problem (apart from building your own kernel with altered button mapping)
Is there any way to lock some of the volume-levels?
I just got a call and i thought my bluetooth-headset wasn't working because the volume was down.
It often happens to me that i accidentally change volume levels which i did not intend to change.
I think in general i would like to have all the volume-levels fixed to about 80% except for the media-playback volume which i would control with the physical buttons.
Am I just stupid or is anyone else having this issue?
update: i tried a app called fixvolume which supossedly does exactly what i want except that it does not work and nothing is fixed.
Update2: smart volume free works great
