I have done a search and can't find the answer to this so I do apologise if I have missed it.
I am after a phone lock as I am forever ringing the last number I dialled by mistake as I seem to turn my phone on whilst it is in my pocket...
Thanks in advance....
Such as the built-in phone lock on the Xperia??
Look at the "End Call" key. there is a little Key symbol.If you hold this key done it will lock your phone...
To unlock your phone follow the screen prompt, hit the left soft button then right soft button
The only key that will work is the power key to put it to sleep or wake it up. and the various keys used to answer an incoming call and end it!!
You can also setup a simple pin number for phone lock. So then you have to enter the pin# to your your phone
hth,
Stuart
another way, there are those free good work done by the folks where u slide to lock

I already use the sleep button on the top and that is how I accidentally turn it on. As for the X1 lock on the "End Call" key. Well I can't see that one....
what he meant was to lock your phone, you can hold on the END CALL key.. it will be locked

I don't see the end call button unless I am in a call. Am I missing something here? I am using HTC Manilla Touchflo3D HD if that makes any difference...

You can also click on the power button the device will then go all black and you have to click it once more to unluck it.

this is what i do, because i don't like the random button pressing either. just hit the power button on the top of the phone after you make the call, so the screen turns off. you'll still be connected to your call.
Or you can just go to the home screen and lock the the device
Hello all,
I am new to the forums but I have been using the HTC Touch for a few months now, and would like some guidance about a few problems i'm having. First off, I am using the official 6.1 rom with sprint....
I am running S2U2 and am having a problem with my phone turning off while in my pocket. It seems the power off menu can be brought up if you hold the power button, even if S2U2 is running. This is very frustrating, is there anyway to lock the power button when S2U2 is running, or any other option?
Is there any edits that can be done to make S2U2 call the factory device lock? I couldnt find anything related to the lock in the registry. If there is, is there anyway to assign the factory device lock to the power button, so that when you blank the screen it auto-locks? I love this feature with s2u2, and with stock device lock it takes 3 buttons to do this...
Thanks!

The only thing that I could suggest that might help is to get yourself a good case for your phone that would protect the button from being accidentally pushed. I have never had this problem with my phone. The button actually has to be pressed and held to bring up the power off menu. Even when not in it's case, I have never had this happen; however, the phone is only out of it's case, when I am using it. In the case, there is even less chance of powering off the device.

The default device lock works just like S2U2, as it leaves only the power button unlocked. If you locked all buttons, how would you turn your phone back on??

The problem i'm having is that the phone actually powers off while in my pocket somehow....what i'm saying is that the phone not only "wakes up" from the standby mode, but also calls the shut down window and you can press the "yes its ok to shut down" button while s2u2 is running, something the stock device lock will not do.
It would be really nice if there was a slide type lock that was based off the code of the stock device lock.
Thanks for the replys
Find what the application is that launches when pressing the button and add it to the S2U exclusions list.
I have a verizon and my power button toggles screen off and on, so im not entirely sure, Is this a stock popup or a program you installed ? There is probably a registry entry somewhere that defines how the power button functions jsut as the button manager does for other buttons.

I understand your point, and am still wondering what it is you keep in your pocket with your phone that shuts it off!? Anyways, why do you keep referring back to the default device lock? S2U2 performs the same way, as it locks everything besides the power button. If the power button is locked, how would you wake up the device to unlock it ???
the power button has two functions, it blanks the screen if you press it, or it brings up the power off menu when you long press it. The problem i'm having is s2u2 doesnt prevent the power off menu from coming up, where as the stock device lock does. Thus, it is possible to completely power off the phone while the keys are locked.... of course I want to be able to wake the phone up with the power button, but i dont want to be able to turn it completely off.
And i'm not sure how it turns off in my pocket, except i usually carry it with the power button face down (phone upside down) and it must press against the bottom of my pocket...
The application that it is calling is the stock shut down menu, i'm not sure how I could add this to the exception list, as I dont know how to call it remotely....
Thanks again for the replies!
The title of this caught my attention.
It would be very nice to have a registry edit that will lock the device when powered off or on device wake up.
I use S2U2 and I am really not liking it personally, but it is better then the default setup currently I feel.
If I need to press a key during phone call (e.g. do delete a voicemail, I need to press 7), how do I do that? My screen turns off when I talk.
Thanks
press the home button and I believe the keypad is the bottom left button
sorted

When I talk, the screen turns off. Pressing home button does not turn it on. Is there a setting to turn the screen on if the home button is pressed?
during a call just press the power button on top and your hd goes on.

Please switch off your light sensor. I have just fixed the same problem, using HD Tweak utility. I have just posted details in my posting please seach posts by avaion99, you find the solution.
Even though I do not have the HD, I find that useful, since I usually move around when I am on the phone, and I do not want to press anything I do not want to press. Its the same on the iPhone, you press the power to snap it back on. Its just hard to get used to the first couple of days.
I guess Im not the only one with this probem, but:
When Im in a call, talking to someone, my ear or just whatever touches the screen and initiates different programs and stuff.
This is very annoying!
Is there any program that locks the screen while In a call? And that automatically shuts down it self after the call is done?
Thanks!

You just blatantly honored your handle with that post.
Thanks guys!
Well, the power button isnt really the answer I was looking for...
I mean, having to ask the person Im talking to, to wait for a sec so I can hit the power button....guess I will try out the other app!
Motor skills mate, I always press the button while bringing the phone to my ear. Just use your index finger or smth. ^^
For some reason, if I use the key lock function and it's in sleep mode, and I receive a call, the screen is locked and I can't hang up (or look into the calender) unless I unlock the keys. It's rather annoying, so I never use the key lock anymore.
power button way is good

Hehe, guess I'll give it a try then...
do you have any idea but the power button or LockMeLite (it doesn't work on my xperia)
I know that I can remove the stylus to turn on my HD but is there any possiblity of using the dial button or home button to turn this phone on?
it's driving me nuts
no
no, never, no possibility
There is a registry entry to wake the HD from sleep at least by pressing one of the audio controls on the left. Maybe someone can quote the correct setting for it.

The home key and such aren't real hard ware buttons, the software determines their response, so if the phone is locked I'm guessing that software wont be operational.
What's wrong with the power button?

Is this to wake up the phone when off? if so that's what I'm looking for. I also need to use my volume buttons as volume buttons though. Will this registry change alter anything?
