Device lock problem: SPB vs. S2U2 - Touch HD General

hello all
i'm using spb mobile shell 3 and the most recent s2u2 version (1.62) on my touch hd.
problem: i can use the slider from s2u2 to unlock my device the way i want it to be. but once i have unlocked the device by using the slider the spb device lock feature is still active.
means i have to press unlock in the low left corner of the screen and then again unlock pretty much in the middle of the screen.
question: is there a way to disable the spb device lock feature? cause i only need s2u2 to lock down the device.
thanks for your help folks!

Q: Shortcut for running "Device Lock" Today item?

I miss being able to lock my SmartPhone by holding the "End" button. Is there a way to lock my Qtek S200 hardware keys and/or screen without having the "Device Lock" item constantly taking up space on my Today screen?
Search for VJDeviceLock.
You'll see in that thread that Matt released a better version (Yet Another Device Lock). Mine has recently been updated for minimal resources and does not require the today plugin.
Check it out on my webpage.

Yes, you can use this program (still in beta but works great). It will turn on your device lock each time the device comes out of standby. This way if you get a message that wakes up the phone, it can't accidentally launch programs and speed dial numbers while in your pocket.

So far the latest version is pre6.
Thanks for your replies. I'll check those apps out! 8)

S2U2 usage

Hi
Looked at S2U2 for a day or so. I have read the file son thier site but cannot figure this out.
What I want is to be able to press a key and invoke the lock like you can with any conventional phone. With S2U2 it seems you have to go to programs, and launch S2U2. Can it not be assigned to one of the 4 quick keys ?
Also can anyone explain the setting "lock when the device wakes up" ? Why would you want to lock the
device when it wakes up ? also "Lock when screen is blank" ? not sure what that means, afaics, my HD screen has never been blank.
thanks for any help

lock when device wakes up is the best option.

Hi kidnamedAlbert
What exactly does this option mean, I find it very confusing. Surely when "device wakes up", I (the user) has done something to wake it up, so therefore I want to use it - not lock it. This option confuses me or Am I missing something here?

Windows Classic Lock screen problem

Hello all,
I like having my phone locked on the Windows Classic lock screen, as it means I can see the Manila homescreen when the screen is locked (unlike the slide to unlock of the Windows Default screen).
However, when I receive and incoming call on the Windows Classic lock screen, I am first asked to unlock the device, before I can answer the call with the Manila answer slider.
This isn't the case with the default lock screen.
Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this? Or some fix?
Or do I just need to get used to the Windows Default slide to unlock screen?
Thanks ^^
Anyone got any ideas if there anything we can do about this?
80 page views and no one has any ideas.
Hey again guys,
Sorry to bump this, but I was wondering if anyone knew/knows of a way around this. Basically, what happens, is this:
When the phone uses the Windows Classic lock screen (ie what it used to have on WinMo 6.1, not slide to unlock) when someone phones me, the phone brings up the unlock button to press, before I can use the slider to answer the call.
As far as I remember, it only did this on my X1 when I switched to itjes Leo 10 version, which had the Manila version our phones had.
It's a bit annoying, as I like to have my phone locked on the Manila home screen, but having to unlock the phone before answering a call is very annoying.
Maybe someone has an idea of a fix, or a work around to stop it bringing up the unlock button?
Hum and what if you just press the real physical answer button ?

I could do that yes. But the screen stays locked with the unlock button on the screen. So it still doesn't really fix anything other than being able to answer the phone.
I was wondering why it does this (always used to bring up the slider on Manila 2.1 on my X1) just wondering why it doesn't with WinMo 6.5 and HTC Sense on.
Anyone managed to get this to work yet?
Can't get the screen to auto-unlock when someone phones =(
Still having to use the slide-to-unlock slider. Oh well.

Lock Screen on HD2

I am looking to purchase this phone and have a query regarding the lock screen.
I used to have the I-Mate K-Jam, the lock screen on this phone used to lock on the Today screen if i'm not mistaken. I could basically see my today/tomorrow calendar items, no. of unread message etc. Since the k-jam i've had the i-phone and i have severely missed the today screen, there are apps for this on the i-phone but they get buggy then there's compatibility etc.
Does the WM 6.5 have the same lock screen, i know the new lock screen looks totally different, but i do understand there is a setting to enable the classic lock screen. Does the classic setting allow the user to lock to the today screen.
Any images would be great.
Thanks in advance
Anyone answer the above please.

Thanks but thats not really answering my question, all those images are of the new windows lock screen.
Has anyone got the classic lock screen on the HD2?
More to the point can the HD2 lock the screen on the 'today' screen.
Thanks

yes you can i have tried it...but first you have to disable the default lock screen in wm6.5
if you post that you got it, why not post how
go to settings > menu > all settings > lock > display tab choose windows classic from the dropdown.
then the phone needs to reboot and you have an empty original today screen..
to get sense back or put other items on the today screen got to settings > today > items tab
whatever you choose, now when you push a button it will show you a locked windows today or sense home screen..
edit: althought it takes an extra tap to unlock, it easier with one hand then the slider on top of the screen..
You can also try PocketShield which works nice on the HD2.
It has a "transparent lock" mode which might fit into what you are looking for. Not free though...

WM Unlock screens

Hey !!! I need unlock screens for windows mobile. is it possible that we collect all the links here! I'm looking for the nicest one. anyone can help me out ? im using windows mobile 6.1. I can't seem to find a nice unlock screen. pls help out thx
I'm by no means and expert, but a number of months back I did a big search for the best lock screen for me. After a lot of looking, I eventually stuck with the default lock screen in WM. The reason being that this was the only one that prevented holding down the red button from turning off the screen. I kept accidentally turning off my phone when it was in my holster. I did add a small program that automatically locks my TouchPro2 when I hit the power button.
The other two major contenders that I tried:
S2U2 = Slide to Unlock ver. 2. Great program... very customizable and lot of features. But as I mentioned, it wouldn't prevent the power off for my device.
ThrottleLock. Another nice program. Unlike the many slide to unlock, this one you have to "type" in a quick pattern that you set in order to unlock your phone. Gives you a bit of password protection along with making it easy to lock/unlock. Again, wouldn't prevent power for me.
use those alternatives, or use wm 6.5
