Whenever my phone goes into standby mode, or when I manually put the phone into standby mode by briefly pressing the power button The phone is unresponsive to any other key press or screen taps. I have to press the power button again to get it out of standby mode. I am using a usa T-Mobile MDA with the 1.08 rom. The only today plugins I have installed are magic button, rlcalendar and powercheck. Is there w way to fix this? It is kinda annoying.
take a look here..
start / settings / buttons / the lock tab at the bottom /
there should be three options, if you have the top one checked, then only the power button will wake your phone up.
hope this helps

I prefer it like this as it means you don't have to rememebr to 'lock' the phone before putting it in a case/pocket/bag to stop accidental turning on/dialing.
I've asked a similar question in a different thread... but does anyone know how to prevent the buttons from becoming active when the device automatically re-starts itself? e.g. when it's in my pocket, I don't want the keypad suddenly activating when a text message notification appears on the screen. Do I have to lock the keypad manually to do this?

Thank you Gazzrenn, your suggestion helps greatly!

I have security set up that have to enter the password before the device comes on and the buttons become active, so I dont suffer from this. If I dont enter the password, ie when its in my pocket and I dont hear it, it turns off after 1 minute.

Don't you find this a bit tedious if you want to answer a call but have to enter a password first?
I would prefer my device not to activate the screen when its in my pouch or pocket, but to have to activate the keyboard and enter a password to answer a call I find is tedious - or have you found a quicker way to do it.

Call answer is the one exception.
I have the password setup so that no-one that steals my device can get my data, sure they can hard reset and use the device (not as a phone as that will be blocked from UK networks) but they loose all my private/personal data
Call answer is the one exception.

I haven't used the password feature.
If I set a password does that automatically allow the phone to be answered without entering it?

Yes - when the phone rings the phone you are able to answer, but once you hang up the password is requested.
When my device P3600 received call or sms, the device is powered up, and then all the keys are active. If the device in case some key can be press (by mistake) and activate a program on this situation.
Does any one have a solution for that?
Use the Device Lock Feature in your Today Screen.
I do not like to add one more line to the dotay screen
can I use it without add it to the dotay screen?
If you don't want an additional line on the today screen then the other option is to set the device to request a password after only one minute of inactivity (under "Settings", "Personal", "Lock").

10x, but this is not help, the lock is form power up the the device, and the device is automitly powered up when received call or sms
I use a program called "device lock" that can be mapped to one of the buttons, I use button one when you hold for a few seconds. The app locks the phone and turns off the screen, so when you recieve a call or sms the screen will turn back on but the phone will still be locked.
Have a search on the forums here for it, that where i got it from.
Cheers

in this case you can not aswers a call, when received one - because when the device is lock there is no quick way to answer that call.
or I miss someting here.

Yes you can answer a call, the device lock only lets you use the power, answer, and hangup buttons. When the call is finished it is still locked, unless you unlock it.
I use this one. http://www.mr2-power.com/downloads/DeviceLock.CAB
10x, GREAT, this will do the job
it is work fine - 10x

I am glad you found a way to solve your problem but I don't understand why my suggestion should not work. If you set your device to request a pin after one minute of inactivity if you receive a message the keys will still be blocked until you enter your pin. (I am talking about device PIN not SIM PIN).
And if you receive a call the answer button works even without entering a PIN.

Your solution works too, the only thing is sometimes (for example) I'm sitting on the couch using my phone for email or surfing and watching a TV program. I stop to watch something interesting for 3 minutes and my phone has locked itself with the pin lock. I have to enter the code each time this happens. It can get annoying. If I use devicelock, I lock the keys when I need to, obviously when I'm at home and my phone is on the coffee table, it doesn't need to be locked. I set my device pin lock at 2 hours, that should give the phone enough time to lock itself if I loose it...hopefully.
yeah... but when you loose your phone the device lock doesn´t matter. only reinstall a Rom and your phone can be used.

Yes, very true, but at least they won't be able to see all my contacts, appointments, notes etc. That being said, I always use FlexWallet to encrypt all sensitive information which is synchronized to my laptop.
touch screen and buttons can be locked during a call?
I followed up this thread and found it very interesting. But it does't focus all the problem:
when call's come in, your solutions are ok.
But when I want to make a call, I found there is a nasty *****, clicking to call waiting or to head speaker on, opening a note or calling my voice box etc. etc.
Then I found that it was my ear or my fingers, clicking on the touch screen or my fingers clicking hardbuttons.
I think tat during a call on the normal speaker the only buttons to be active should be "hang on" and "loud speaker on". With loudspeaker or BT on, or call terminated,s screen and buttons should come back to full function.
Anybody knows a solution to this?
Regards, and keep on, its a great forum. i love it.

Hmm this is just "device lock" that we can see in HTCplugin. In my case it does not turn off the screen. It just locks my device. Is everyone has "turn off the sreen" functionality?

I lastly tried the on-off button to block screen during outgoing calls.
I never did this before because I thought it would cancel the active call, but it doesn't.
Ok, I see it's more or less doing what I want. But it's very unconfortable. When I hit it bad, or don't hit it at all, or forget to press it?
Isn't there a posibility to have the screnn sensibility off, only sensibility, until the call is either ended, passed to outer speaker, headset or BT? or perhaps simply until I give it free manually?
It would improve safe usage of that phone remarkably, I think.
If not :-( , well, I allways can press the button ;-)
curious for what solutions you'll find on your problems with incoming calls. Perhaps that will give me an Idea.

I've complained about this on just about every major forum I have found. Hopefully, someone will eventually write an app to allow personalized device locking. I would set my trinity to not wake for ANYTHING and have ONLY the power button active. I would prefer to get audible alerts (or vibrate) to incoming calls, alarms and messages. Pressing power would be the only way to turn the device on. PIN features only annoy me. This would be very useful anytime I am not willing to immediately respond to a notification - driving, having dinner, in a meeting, etc. It could significantly improve battery life. I store mine in my pocket and accidental button press is a problem as well.
Hi there.
Is there a way to automatically lock the screen and keys when the phone is idle for a while?
Kinda like the device lock funktion, but without entering a password.
I'm not worried about abuse, rather about accidentally activating telephone functions while carrying it around.
Basically I just want the phone to automatically push and hold the "hangup/lock"-Button when the phone is idle for 5 minutes.
I know something similar can be done in the system settings, but only in combination with a password which gets rather annoying over time.
alternatively: is there a way to deactivate WM6's password complexity rules (so it will accept empty/trivial passwords)?
Here you go...

Hi fotoingo,
This is just what I needed - thanks.
As a non dev and just returning to WinMo after a long absence, please can you advise how I would get the hard keys on the X1 to work during a call and just disable the touchscreen?
Thanks
Hello All,
I've just got my self a HTC touch HD and am very happy with it. I've moved from a Nokia N95 and have a couple of questions regarding locking and unlocking the Touch HD.
What I would like to do is
1. lock the touch pad with a time out or on demand when Im not using it.
2. Have a password lock set on the device on demand.
I can do number 1 if I dont put a password on the device lock but If I do then I cant do 2.
They way I am used to using the Nokia is I often want to lock the device with a pin.. e.g over night so no one can snoop.
If I set the PIN device lock, I have to set a timeout value but I can't do it on demand. Even if I set it to 0 minutes, it locks after a while which is annoying.
What I have done at the moment (until I find a better solution is) to set the PIN lock to 0 minutes and unlock it every time it locks when I have it on the desktop. I've also managed to get SU2?? to give me the slide touch screen lock. Not really what I would like....
So my question is... Is there any apps out there that can let me lock my deevice with a PIN on demand and also let me lock the key pad / touch screen without a PIN on demand?
Second query is regarding profiles. I would like to set up 2 profiles, I which has a phone ringtone and a sms message alert and a second profile which has a ringtone but no sms alert tone. I can't seem to set this on the Touch HD. Any one know how I can do this.
Any response will be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
You can set the "end call" soft button to when you hold it down to either "lock" your device or bring up a quick menu for you to choose if you want to lock your device, turn on flight mode, end data transmissions etc.
Hope this helps

If you go to Start/Settings/Personal/Lock you can set the phone to automatically lock after a period of time.
You can also go to Start/Settings/Personal/Phone/PIN/PIN2 and set a code for when the phone is first turned on to prevent thieves from using your phone.
Hope this helps
Try MobileMagic
You should try MobileMagic (search for it on this forum). I've set it to toggle screen when face down.. all I have to do to turn off screen is rotate my HD over its length axis...
Hi!
So I got my HD2 on Wednesday, and the first thing I did was connect it with my email's (personal and work) and unfortunately, my work has Exchange 2008 running with a lame security policy (actually, I like security, so I really don't mind) so my phone has to lock itself against a PIN. My question is, the box "Prompt if phone unused for" is greyed out (but checked) and I have it set to prompt after 1 hour. However, everytime I lock the screen, even if I immediately click back in, I have to type my PIN. Is that also being enforced by Exchange? Do I always have to type in my PIN no matter what I put for the wait time?
Oh, and for a quick question, I noticed that if the phone is locked and I'm listening to Slacker, if I try and use the volume rocker, it doesn't change the volume. The media player works fine, just not slacker. Is that a Slackerism or is it because I have a PIN protected phone?
Thanks for any help!
