Hello,
i have a problem with applications running on my topaz.
They all run fine on Windows Mobile 6.1 (Pro),
but if i press the On/Off button on the top of the device to switch off the display or if it automatically switches off
the running applications only run in background minimized when turning the display on again.
they all run in background and i see the TF3D Interface in front.
Is it possible to switch off this "bug" with a registry key or do you know any solution for this problem..
Would be very nice if you help me with this problem.. wondering that appearantly nobody else had this problem before..
i used the search function of this forum .. and google.. cant find anything.. maybe searched the wrong keywords..
PS.: Sorry for my bad English.. Hope you could understand me xD
please help.. its a hard problem ..
?
so ... basically ... you want to automatically close all apps from background when the phone goes in stand-by mode?
As I understand it he's saying that when he presses the power button to go into standby, and then presses it again to put the screen back on, the unit is always back at the TF3D main screen, rather than on the app he was previously using. Mine certainly stays on the same app. I suspect it's something to do with the auto lock settings.
thank you for your answers
@ georgeono:
no i want to prevent them being minimized.. after the standby mode..
at first they all run in front of tf3d..
then.. -standby mode- is activated
[the screen is black]
i reactivate the phone..
-> all running applications run minimized (in background) behind TF3d and i have to choose them at first in the task manager to get them to front again..
but i want that they arent minimized when i reactivate the phone..
nobody has this problem too ?
please post a solution
Did you apply any tweaks? registry changes? or is this happening on a cooked rom? which applications did you install before this happend? I doubt this happened "on it's own"
no i dont use any tweaks ..
just the blank device with vodafone branding ..
i think its a windows mobile behaviour.. because i have the good old htc artemis with windows mobile 6 and it has the same problem too..
..
thanks for your answer
The same happens with 6.1 & 6.5 ROM's. It is normal behavior...
I hate it because it continues to use RAM, but it's "normal" WM behavior.
There is likely a registry edit to auto close programs, but that wouldn't help you.

normal behaviour? I don't get that on my Topaz (stock ROM 6.1 unbranded) - Returning from suspend the program I ran last is still in the foreground...
Ok, here's what I would check:
Download FDCSofts Taskmanager http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
Install and start, píck "notifications" from the drop down list on the upper right.
Check if one of the entries is a "CNT_EVENT" set to the event "The device woke up". If there is one try disabling it (don't delete yet!). Disable with the 6th button from the left on the lower bar of FDCSofts Taskmanager.
Do not mess around there! Disable at most, don't delete if you don't really know what you're doing.

I double checked again to make sure.... Still does it and always has.
I am using udK R6 now and it is the same.....
No biggie though. I always close everything down in task manager anyway.
Thank you for your answers .. its such a nice xda forum.. very good xD
To the problem.. :
i think its a windows mobile behaviour too.. but if so, it shouldn't be a problem ..
anybody knows the registry tweak to solve this problem ?
@andy_2307
I think i found the solution to the problem...
Just after i posted the same problem in another thread here on xda-developers, i got the idea to change on thing just for trying.
let me guess: you have a (numeric) device lock activated, so that you can lock your device with a "PIN" (separate from your SIM-card PIN)?
Even if you set the time to - let's say - 24 hours, so that the lock does not activate itself, but only when you lock your device manually by pressing the end-call-button for some seconds; this setting (having the numeric-lock activated) causes the issues.
I just deactivated the lock, so that long-pressing the end-call-button just locks the screen and does not force you to enter the device-PIN - and now the device won't go to the homescreen after waking up from standby.
This would explain why not everybody has experienced this - many people do not lock their devices with a separate PIN, and as such don't see this issue.
Only problem now is - for Security Reasons i want to have my device locked in a way, that someone else can not access it (even via activesync) if i lose my device or if it is stolen. without the default windows-mobile locking function, how is this achieveable?
annoyance A or annoyance B

Just tried messing around with this on my touch pro 2. Hitting the suspend button manually and then reactivating returns to the home screen.
Just found that if I set the "Prompt if device unused for" value to "0 Minutes" it stops returning to the home screen, but now I have to type the security code every time it suspends. I guess it depends on what you find more annoying.
It looks like, for me at least, if I am presented with a security input panel, it doesn't return to the home screen on resume. Seems related to the security lock feature, but not necessarily a bug with the lock itself.

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.....
hello all...i had a quick question regarding throttle lock...the reason im using it is as an alternative to s2u2 bc that is a battery hog on my tp2...i was wondering if anyone knows through experience whether or not throttlelock will consume less battery power...also, is there a way to get it to lock whenever u put the phone into "sleep" mode (pressing the top power button to shut off the screen)...thats really the only thing i want to use it for...for example, when i press the top power button and the screen goes off, how do i get throttlelock to be whats on the screen when i "wake" the phone back up...it seems to me that the only options are to have it activate once u restart (power off and on) the phone or by pressing the throttle lock icon...i would find it very more useful if u could use it like s2u2 (turn screen off and tada!!! theres throttlelock)...can anyone help???
try smartlock. It works with the 6.5 lock and adds the functionality of locking when the phone is powered down. Search for the cab and there are instructions on what box to check to get that functionality.
will smartlock work with 6.1?
I tried s2u2 and also found that it seemed to use more power (based on readings from Homescreen++). Using throttlelock doesn't seem to have much noticable increase at all.
As for getting it to lock when you turn the screen off and wake try the following ...
Go into settings > Lock > Change 'idle time before lock' to '1' then click ok to save settings. Then exit the config go back in and change this back to '0' and 'ok'/save.
It works on my xperia as your wanting ... e.g, turn off screen using button on top, turn on and I need to enter the sequence to activate. I can't find the thread that I read the above solution on at the moment but if your struggling I will see if i can find it.
Throttlelock seems to be ok for me. It does not take much RAM, and does not consume that much power. I do have the lock thing to 0, and throttle lock comes up whenever i turn the phone on.
I used to use smartlock, but for some reason it doesnt work on the build i have!

I realise this is probably a daft suggestion but you do have autolock switch in the config?
Are you using 0.7?
Heres a link to the Throttlelock website wiki explaining the functions.
Might be of some help.
I'm having some trouble with the incoming call feature but apart from that it seems pretty stable.
I've tried the other options but the pattern unlock does it for me

it's the pin lock for the whole because i use exchange mail, it's a security pin that everytime the phone goes to sleep, i have to enter it in. i did find a fix for this, it's in the reg file.
Anyone noticed that while weather is in automatic update, and you press the "activitymanager" on the far right top to see what programs are running etc, the today screen freezes. The weather effects stop and the clock will jump back an hour or something and then back again once you leave the "activitymanager" and go back to today screen. Same thing when you press and hold the endcall button to turn keylock on, the weather effects+clock will go wild just before it goes into lock mode. Anyone else seen this??

It's like this even if you don't have automatic weather-update. The 'error' with the clock jump 61 minutes back in time is normal in Sense. Try to click the endcall-button in homescreen - the clock flips and the weather-effect resets

I initially found this problem. You need to go into settings - sounds and notifications - advanced: scroll down to text messages and check the box to sound event.
Another bug (?) I found is that when you have your headset connect and get an incomming call the ringtone only sounds in the headset. So if you have your phone in the pocket you miss the call.
Anyone else with the same irritating problem?
I have the same touchflo-freeze-when-taskman-is-open - bug.
But ... for some reason I like windows' default new todayscreen more then touchflo! It seems way more to the point.
problem with clock / battery icon on taskbar
With WM 6.5, when I check "see clock on all programs" in clock and alarms I see clock on taskbar all the time (home screen). With WM 6.1, it was displayed the battery icon in home screen and the clock only in programs... Anybody knows how change it in WM 6.5? What registry I must change?
Thanks
manila start menu
anyone had any luck with mapping the start button to the manila programs tab on the touchflo.
Are the ppl at HTC aware of these issues or are they Microsoft-related? Has anyone reported the bugs to HTC? Any response?
Its just incredible that they release a ROM where there are so many bugs. They have to be aware of these, I cant believe that they dont...
I found a very strange "bug" ... I guess:
I can't touch the volume keys in sence... up or down key will result in a "services.exe" error and the phone gets really slow.
Anyone???

Yes, I use the excellent TopazKbdControl which can be found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4722478&postcount=2.
You need to remap the Windows key (or HOME key as it's called) so that on the Click event it performs the action "Run program". Set the program to run as "\Windows\manila.exe", and the arguments as "--switchtopage programs.page" (both without quotes). Works perfectly, no more horrible Windows Start page!

is there anybody able to help me?

have you tried a hard reset? Seems like the only thing you can do.
Assuming you are running ROM 1.48 you need to click Start>Lock and then the lock screen will work properly until the next time you do a soft reset.

I had the same issue as well after I had installed several programs. What I have noticed so far, was that after I installed Dutty's task manager, I've seen a process called 'Start'. When that was running, the lock screen didn't work. When I closed it via Dutty's task manager, the lock screen appeared automatically again! Don't know what the 'Start' process comes from though, but when closing it, it helped for me.

lock not working
install bsb tweaks and select auto lock, them when you press the hang up button/end call button the phone will then lock as it did out the box.

I got the same problem yesterday! I made a lot of registry tweaks and cant unlock my htc with the slider anymore..

Happened to me after I installed the SMS patch from HTC. All of my settings changed. Had to do a hard reset and will forgo the SMS patch.

This is true for me aswell. I to did alot of tweaking and such, wich made my slider non functional. I then did a ROM upgrade, and did all the tweaking I had done before, only to find out it was Owner Information that was the sinner.
Wich I got from here: [REF] *Leo Hints & Tips* Under HTC Leo: HD2 > HD2 General section. 5. Enable Hidden Owner Info in All Settings\Personal Folder
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Owner and change Hide from 1 to 0 and then reset. You can now enter your name you want to register old apps.
I unticked show Owner Information, and the slider unlocks my phone again. But anyways, is there anyone who know if it's possible to get this to work, with Owner Information shown at wakeup AND the slider actually unlocking my phone?
Damn I just ran into this. Enabled show owner info and notes at startup, now slider unlock doesn't unlock to get into the screen. No way to get into the phone unless a hard reset?
am using my US Tmobile HD2 tonight and a blank Screen came um couldnt get to Home Screen.. and no buttons worked so i removed the battery then restart the phone it ask me for my pass word.. i try typing my password it keep saying "incorrect password" dang this sucks!
and when i hhit unlock nothing happens most of the times
I was adjusting my e-mail settings when the phone frooze. Had to remove battery to restart.
But after that I got stuck with this lockscreen.
Softreset didden't work. Tryed to switch between windows standard and windows classic lockscreen but nothing.
How do I get "The Slider" back?

Go to the settings tab, Menu, All Settings, Lock and go to the Display tab. Make sure you've got Windows Default selected, not Windows Classic. Click OK and it'll ask you to restard. You should now have the lockscreen you want back.
Hope this helps
Edit:
Sorry - I just noticed your device isn't in English. I hope you can translate my instruction on your device okay.
Sorry, I guess "Standard Windows" is Swedish for "Default Windows" so i have already tryed that.
I have also tryed it with HTC sense off but still no change.
Still in need of help!

when i sekect lock from all settings, theres only setting password and hint. nothing else. my lockscreen wont automatic lock wen my screen is off.
I found that after a soft reset my Lock screen would not appear after the phone had gone to sleep (or I'd turned the screen off manually).
I solve it by .......
After a soft re-set or having turned the phone off;
go to Start
press 'Lock' at the bottom left of the screen
The lock screen now appears and then acts normally - until the next soft reset when I simply repeat the above
Nop!
Allready tryed that, still the grey lockscreen...

Lost Screen lock
Here is the one simple solution that works for me:
When I installed some cab. files I have lost the screen lock.
Longpress the end/power button. this will bring out options to power off, Lock device, set vibrate...
Simply press "Lock device".
Now you have a screen lock that keeps working.
Well I've tryed that but It will still use that grey thing...
//Johan
Some people don't really read that well, do they?
argh
i have to always manually set the lock device. it wont automatically do it.
i recently installed pocketshield and that messed it up so i dont think everyone deleted properly?
should i use SKTools or a software to delete unused registries? or is it cab files?
YEEEES!
I figured somehow the default windows lockscreen file must have got corrupted...?
So I installed this cab:

Thank you all for your help, without this forum my HTC would have ended up in the bin the day after I bought it!

still didnt work. just still acting the same.
i have the same problem after i have installed puremind's 1cab4all_20shcutsv1.3No.Net3.5.
i tried the above suggestion but didnt work, i have to put the lock device to make it work, but i dont want to enter the password everytime to go to homescreen.
Anyone have the same problem?
1. This happens a few times on my HD2, make sure you have BSB Tweak installed. There is an AutoLock switch on there. Make sure that is set to On (which it will be default).
2. Then on the odd occasion when the device does not lock, hold the power button to get the Quick List and click Lock Device, now it will be ok - till the next time it happens (mine usually after a few days in which case repeat step 2).
