Hi guys,
I have ensure to save the change of 'Settings - Buttoms - End Key - Automatically execute the selected action - Lock device'. But it still doesn't work for me when I press and hold the end key for a few seconds. For the other three actions, like Transfer to airport mode, Teminate data transfer and Set vibrate/ring, they work fine.
Does anyone know what happens to my HD?
Thanks,
Wayne
if you've added a lock code to your device (via Start Menu-->Settings-->Personal-->Lock), this will disable the long-press endkey lock features. click the search button above and type endkey device lock for lots more info on the subject. welcome to xda!

Thank you cortez.i.
I do have input a personal lock code when initializing the device. I have also done a search on the topics similar to this, but couldn't find a solution to enable both features (personal lock code & long-press endkey lock) at the same time. I'm happy to use the power key to lock the device though.
Yep, I'm new to xda and have been given this wonderful side from the supplier since I've bought my HTC HD. I'm keen to learn and implement certain personal mobile applications to my device. Hopefully, you and other fellow members can shed me some light how/what to begin.
Cheers,
Wayne
I'm also looking for this. Any way to re-enable "lock device" + code?
It does not work when having long-press endkey set to "Quick list", and then pressing "lock device" from the quick list either.
Edit: I searched without finding any soultion. While I found this, it just states the problem withouth any solution. Code + long press lock works on my father's S730.

I don't understand what you mean. Can you explain in more detail?
Some explanations to my madness
I've installed AX3L_WM6_WWE_v3.1.2b FULL.
After I dial and connect, my screen goes opaque and the following message appears:
"Press the Center button to temporarily unlock the screen".
I must have like 5 seconds to dial any extension I need to before the screen locks again (and since I have a virtual dialpad - I can no longer dial anything).
I want to change the delay or remove this silly screen lock...
And one more thing, how to add a contact with Icontact v0.3?
it doesn't say new anywhere, how do I ask someone their name and number with out writing inside the notepad?
help me out guys...
that's really weird, must be some kind of add-on software? No clue...
start => settings => system => phone screen lock => Status: inactive + deselect autostart

Holy jeebus I HATE this also!!!!! I cannot seem to get it to stop bothering me, I have been using the scroll wheel to deactivate it but it comes BACK! I have been searching and searching and cannot find ANY info. Did you ever figure it out or just install a different dialer? It's awesome that my CENTER button doesn't even work!!!

try S2u2.
Do a search - there are a few similar discussions!
i like the pocket shield on my touch hd -> http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/
I´ve tried S2U2 on my Wizard with some strange problems like Battery drain etc. Pocketshield works so far, but i loved the simplyness of DeviceLock.
Isn´t there any way to lock the device on wake up? Pocketshield shouldn´t be the last fix for this problem....
PocketShield is the best for the HD.

What version?
I´ve tryed aout Phoneshield, but i wasn´t that surprised of it. Now i´ve tryed This:
Goto registry:
HKEY_CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Backlight\[AutoDeviceLockEnable set to 1]
HKEY_CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel\[LockLevel set to 1]
That works for me without installing any Software

ah that's fine thx
I would to know one thing, I see two different key to lock the phone:
AutoDeviceLockEnable
LockLevel
why? isn't enough only one of them? for example backlight lockenable?
pls explain to me what exactly these 2 keys so
quick question :
which registry entry governs the backlight display on the lock screen,
at the moment i've got the phone dimming after 30 seconds, then it locks and the light comes back on. for about 30 seconds. ideal the lock screen would be illuminated for about 10 seconds then blank the screen.
What reg entries do i need to set to sort this out ?
answers appreciated.
many thanks.

by default yes, but you can amend the function of the long key press if you like via the buttons menu in further options.
i've got mine killing off connections data/phone, for example with the power button at the top locking the phone.
works for me.
Hi!
I'm still struggeling to find the right way to lock the phone. The ideal solution would be to:
1) Have the phone unlocked when I switch it on with the Power button (so that I can immediately use it after deliberately turning it on)
2) Have the phone automatically locked when it wakes up due to a phone call or SMS (so that I don't press anything by accident when it is in my pocket).
This seems to be the only really logical way to use device lock. Can this be done?
Regards!
But PocketShield doesn not meet my requirements (see above post). It's just another regular device lock app without the possibility to disable the device lock when the unit is turned on with the power button.
Regards!
I found the Registry-Hack Solution is the better way, just my opinion. But can somebody tell me which reg-value must be edited to avoid locking with end-call button? I don´t want to lock my device in this way, i want to end Data connections with long pressed end-key.
easy
1) scroll along to settings
2) hit 'all settings'
3) select 'personal' tab
4) select 'buttons' icon (top left)
5) get your stylus out
6) on the buttons screen, hit the arrow on the bottom right until you can see the "end key" section. hit that.
7) in the options listed, select "automatically execute selected action" and underneath this select " terminate data connection"
8) hit the OK button (top right) and bob your dads brother, you can now terminate data calls via the long press call cancel key.
nice one.
Thx for that.....
Hi,
Would it be possible for someone here to create an app with the ability to solve the "only power-button activates the lock screen after standby" issue?
I'm thinking that this would be something a lot of Desire owners would see come in handy.
I would look into it myself, but not being a developer by profession my coding skills are zero. I've tried the app 'No Lock', but it just doesnt do it for me as my Desire wakes up in my pocket with the lockscreen deactivated.
(Couldn't find another thread regarding this, so forgive me if it's already been posted before.)

There is an app already called "myLock" which has an advanced mode that allows you to double press any button to unlock the screen, just don't use it with the HTC pattern lock as it messes up.
+1 for this.
Btw, you can try LockBot. It is neat, but the disadvantage is that once you get a call, the lock deactivates, which is plain irritating. If you are carrying your cell in your pocket and you receive a call, it might happen that not only the call gets answered/rejected but it can start dialing some random numbers as well! has happened to me once.
So its not perfect, but it works ok.
I just hated pressing the power button every time i had to unlock the phone.
Thanks. This is actually a usefull tool, and does the job well. However, i'd still like a tool that lets me choose a specific button for activating the unlock slider screen, as id like to keep the slider.
But thanks for the advice.

I've been using myLock for a few days now and updated this morning. I don't see the advanced features.
It's under mode select for me, press where it says auto unlock.
I believe this is what you want.
I press the menu button to wake up the phone, and menu or slide to unlock it.

I believe this would work only if your phone is rooted?
How the Hell do you enter owner info on the start screen. you know the "this device belongs to: "

For pattern lock: Settings > Location & Security > Security Lock
From there you can do a passcode or the pattern. I personally use pattern because it can replace the slide to unlock all together while keeping it secure.
I got the pattern lock....but what about adding a note or your personal contact information, thats whats missing...thanks
If there is a way, I haven't found it. I know you can do it on rooted devices, depending on how the rom is set up, but as far as the droid x, I haven't seen a way to do it. You can download an app from the market that will call your phone if you lose it. Also there are apps that will find your phone on GPS. I know this isn't really what your wanting to do, but it will help you if it gets lost.
after many hours on the net I found the answer. you get this by installing the antivirus program from the apps market. you change the "this phone belongs to:" by going to the antivirus program and pressing the menu button form there go to settings, then remote management and finely lost message. you can change the whole message

That's just specific to that app. There is no way on the stock rom to set this information you are looking for. Just add a contact called Me to your contact list. That way if you lose the phone, somebody may call you (If they don't keep the phone)

Too much work for something too small I think.
One way is to update your wallpaper image to have the text you want (using your favorite image editor). Of course then it'll show on the normal home/launcher as well. But a short "Belongs to John Doe, (555) 555-5555" towards the bottom-center should work.
just found WidgetLocker Lockscreen. I havent tried it yet but I guess you can put widgets on the lock screens so I can put a note there with all this information...worth a try
Hallo everybody,
I Want to ask if anybody Over Herr aleeady Manager to disable the Vodafone 360 Services on the Search-Button?!
It's totaly useless to me since I am no Vodafone User. I've already noticed, that the LG Optimus US linked to Bing. I find this More usefull.
So If Dome of you already found a Way, please let us know .
I just removed the app. I am a vodafone customer, but still thought it was no good. Hold your finger on the app until the uninstall option appears.
I think he's asking about the search button behaviour in the browser, which brings vodafone360 site. Unfortunately this cannot be changed. Probably it's a good idea to post about that in Microsoft's forum. If more people bring complaints about this, eventually Microsoft could add an option for manual selecting of the default IE search engine. For the time being the only kind of work-around is to press home before pressing search. That's stupid, isn't it?
I have an unlocked Vodafone Trophy, and hitting Search in the browser shows me Bing. Without uninstalling their app yet.
OK, thanks for your answers. Like martoto Said. "It's stupid" that I have to hit the homebutton first.
Little Question to "Tom Servo", with unlocked die you mean "without simlock"? I am asking, because my Phone don't have Simlock either.
I have a Vodafone HTC Trophy, and unpinned the Vodafone 360 tile straight away and haven't opened it at all. I have Bing as my default search provider.
The phone has a screen lock and SIM lock, you can set up the SIM lock in Settings> Applications> Phone, at the bottom of the page. Enable the SIM security and enter your chosen PIN, turn off and enter your PIN to disable.
