Device Lock for Touch HD?

Is there a working version for a Device Lock for my beloved HD? I want my HD to be locked when a notification pops up or a phone call comes in. Actually its unlocked after a call or notification.....

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

however doing this modification at registry can I answer to a call sliding to green the on screen indicator?
or am I forced to press phisical anser button?

The Modification doesn´t change the behaviour of the answer screen....
So it works perfectly for me.....

and after....

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.

am I missing a trick here, doesn't pressing the 'end call' button lock your phone with out the need to install extra software ????

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.....

If you mean you cannot lock the device long pressing the end button, yes, it is a known issue. See this thread

Maybe later if people really like it and the project continues it could be
a user setting environment

Work great, just one thing : could be great if the app auto unlock when the phone receive a call (coz the diamond have a nice "slide to answer") and re-lock after the call...

...but the main idea is to prevent users from pressing accidentally the answer/ignore button when an incoming call arrived!
Anyway various ideas comes in mind for new versions

Yes, I know, but it is also very usefull for *just* lock the phone : I play a game, I read my mail, or anything, then I just turn off the phone and *hop* it's locked.
I don't worry if a reminder occur, if the on/off button is push accidentaly, or anything else, because I know that the phone is lock until I do a 45% vertical slide
And cherry on the cake, when I ask myself "what time is it ?", I just have to push a button (otherwise, I need to back to home screen with TF3D)
So if you plan to add a user config system to your app, please put a little "manage incomming call ?" box

getting better and better. after a few days i got unsatisfied with all the oter lock apps. but this is killer.
ps. is there a way to auto unlock for incoming calls? in most of the roms there is the phone canvas slider. that would do the job in that case, too.

Can't see a reason why...
Have you install the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 ?
Try a soft reset and execute it again!

i reinstalled netcf and now it works great. thanks.

installed it, runs very nice but unfortunately it makes the reminder and the alarm unusuable when an alarm comes up, the lock screen appears like it should. when you unlock, the message of the alarm or reminder is gone and you have to tap on the top-line icon to get it back also the funktion to let the alarms sound even in vibrate or silence mode won't work no mor... the device only vibrates.....

The last part has nothing to do with the LmL. Maybe some other setting to try ?!?

This is simply fantastic.
I too would like to be able to answer the phone without unlocking it. I would be quite happy with just using the hardware keys on the Diamond which seem to be locked for an incoming call.
Personally, I dont need or want other options - its simplicity is perfect. Something small and light.

perhaps its possible to implement the ability to assign some exceptions for lockmelite, i.e. that it should not lock normal homescreen (when you turn on the device consciously you don't need to have it locked i guess) or even for an upcoming alarm... THEN it really would be a perfect app!

New Release
version 1.2 released!
Enjoy

Hey man, great job!!! I love it
Now we just need an autostart function, hehe

I have the Ozone and I absolutely HATE the built in screen locker!
Are there any third party lockers or anyway for me to change the buttons you press to unlock?
Thanks.

I feel your pain. I had S2U2 working almost perfectly on the Ozone, but reminders (Outlook Calendar sync) did not work correctly. The reminder chime would start then end abruptly and I'd never see the onscreen reminder. Only way for me to dismiss my reminder was to disable S2U2 and wait for the next reminder to pop up. Calendar and E-mail are my two must haves on the phone so I had no choice but to uninstall it. Bummer really.
Ironically, was was looking around tonight for an alternative and ran across this post. If I find anything that works, I'll let you know. But if you don't really care about reminders, I highly recommend S2U2.
It is for touch screen only, but use mymobiler (our mouse emulator) to configure. Then you are good to go. Be sure to disable advanced power options.

How would a slide to unlocker help me on the Ozone?
It's not touch screen.

I use Maniac's Auto Keylock. Has functionality for profiles, notifications, screen saver, etc. Great app. Here's the link (slow site):

Did you read my whole post? I said it worked on the Ozone except for the reminders. You are obviously not going to be able to use the touch screen. That's why you have to use MyMobiler to configure.
Just use D-Pad right to unlock.

Automatic Key lock is certainly not as aesthetic as S2U2, but it works! Perhaps this is not supported, but I can not find the option to password lock the device.

Sure, in Keylock setup, use "device lock".

I hate having to press the center button then the star.
Is there anyway for me to change those keys to the center button then the space bar?
That would be so much better!

App request: Home/Optical tracker button to activate lock screen

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.)
Br,
David

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.
