hello everyone, quick question
im looking for a locking program that will lock the screen when i press the power button (device goes into standby) and when it wakes up
the default locking program with WM is annoying because you can lock the phone BUT when u get an incoming call or text message, the screen becomes unlocked again and its easy to "answer" it accidently when its in your pocket. this is particularly annoying with text messages, because most of the time i wont even realize i have one and the phone will be awake for hours draining the battery and waiting to be pushed. anyways ive done several searches and come up with the following solutions, none of which work for me
1. S2U2, i dont like it, i tried it, wont use it again
2. SensorLock - An EXCELLENT locker, except it wont work on phones without Accelerometers...works wonderfully on the diamond tho
can anyone suggest something to me
First, set timeout for turning screen off autoamtically. This will solve SMS wakeup problem - screen will turn off automatically after some time.
Next thing, incoming calls - there is great Onyx ROM with Opal's slider - to answer a call, you need to slide your finger from center to left (or to right to ignore it). You can't answer accidentally using it
i appreciate your suggestions but neither works for me
i tried the opal but it didnt work properly, i actually had to hard reset to get rid of it
as for the timeout, it still doesnt solve the problem of the phone becoming ACTIVE as soon as a notification or text message is received
My THD keeps running out of battery power and it has taken me untill now to work out why.
If the THD is OFF and the phone rings it turns on, but when the call is finished IT STAYS ON and because I keep in my shirt top pocket every time I move it restarts the "turn off timeout" and I use up battery power.
Surely the phone should work this way:
THD ON when phone rings, it stays ON after the call is finished.
THD OFF when phone rings, it turns OFF when call is finished.
Is it possible for it to do that or can anyone sugest a solution.

I think if you keep it locked in your pocket you can still answer calls although it is in a locked state. When the call is finished it will go back to being locked automatically so you don't need to worry about activating anything on the phone in your pocket and it will go to sleep according to the settings you have made.
You can enable the AutoLock function so that you won't accidently touch it (although it got some bug with backlight).
Or you can use S2U2......(but it drain powers too).

I like the sensor lock, much nicer to make a rotational pattern to lock/unlock the phone. Makes the slide to unlock look outdated.

I do not think you understood what I was saying.
Auto turn off is TURNED ON
Keylock IS TURNED ON
When an incoming call "wakes up" my sleeping unit and I have a conversation on the phone, when I finished the call and press "end call button" the phone does not go back to sleep. It should shut down after the preset time of, in my case, 30 seconds. But because the phone is in my top shirt pocket every movement of my arms or body causes the screen to be touched and the 30 second closedown time starts all over again.
What I have to do at the moment whenever I finish a call is to press first the "end call button" and then the "turn off" button. What I need is one button that will end the call and shut the phone down as well.
After i hang up on a call (when the phone is in sleep mode and the screen is locked) the screen unlocks. this is quite contrary to what is mentioned in the phone manual chapter 1 page 45. this becomes an issue since i use a bluetooth headset and the phone remains in its sleeve/case and after every call, a whole bunch of applications will launch since the case is in contact with the screen. have i overlooked some settings or are there other owners who have faced this issue?
ideas and suggestions welcomed
did you check it out if any of the hardware buttons being pressed against the case hence wakening up the phone.?
i had it to only closed al my apps in taskm and it stoped flickering
My HD2 is also behaving in the same way even in controlled test conditions - the phone unlocks when a call comes in (I'm presented with slide to accept or reject call) The phone unlocks during the call, but fails to lock again on disconnect (either by pressing "end call" or hang up via bluetooth).
Can anyone verify this? Is it interacting with something I installed?
I believe I found a (complicated) workaround.
What I want: leave HD2 inside pocket, answer calls with bluetooth headset, hang up and phone will go back to lock.
Problem: After I hang up using bluetooth or press the big red "End Call" button or the other party hangs up, the phone stays unlocked! It stays powered on and all kinds of buttons gets clicked.
Practically all lock sw uses their own lock screen (which I don't want to install). CSDevCtrl does not trigger by phone. TouchLockPro uses its own transparent lock screen but can respond to phone events. Using the !SUSPEND for TAPI\Ended under settings does not seem to work when the screen dims about 50 secs into the call.
Solution: Use TouchLockPro together with LockAndOff. Get TAPI\Ended to run LockAndOff will turn phone off, whether by bluetooth, big red "End Call" button, or the other party hangs up.
BTW: I think there is some confusion on whether the phone locks when you
1. press the big red "End Call" button, or
2. the hard "End call" button
in the forums.
I noticed that HD2 have a light sensor next to the top ear speaker.
During a call, if the phone is put near the ear and cover the light sensor , the screen become non-active which is good.
If anyone can come up with a lock sceen using this light sensor , then the problem with random launch of program when phone inside pocket will be solved.
This lock screen should only activated right after an end of call, beacuse , sometime you may want to use the phone in a dark place.

It's the proximity sensor that turns the screen on and off during a call, not the light sensor. How else would it work in the dark? (which it does)

My proximity sensor does not work, when I am getting a call my screen turn off and when I am taking the phone out from my face it turn on only when I am out side at the sun!! the screen stay off when I am inside room. I tested it with flsh light and it is working also.
I have a T-Mobile US version of the HD2. I am having the same problem when using the bluetooth system in my car. After answering or making a call the phone stay unlocked. And then starts making random calls while I am driving!!!!
There has got to be an easy fix for this!!!
Buy pocketshield, problem solved.
i have this unlock problem with 1.48 rom and i solve it by pressing start button and lock. after that everything works fine unless i change theme in settings. then just repeat first step.
Solved
Same trouble with me until I use the following software. I tried it and it's almost perfect. unzip it and just copy to your HD2, run CallerLoc.exe and click Yes, you'll find:when you hang up, or he/she hang up a call, or a call is established, the screen will turn off.
Why say 'almost perfect', the software is in chinese, but the filename is in english. and it's a call location software but with the function we need.
To stop or before you delete the software, run Callerloc.exe and click Yes again.
Hope this will help you. Sorry I don't find a English version of this software. I esure and I'm using this software perfectlly with my Leo.

Same for me
Greetings.
I understand this is quite an old thread I'm digging up but I need a little help as well and I didn't want to start a new topic just for that.
I've this silly problem, appeared right out of the blue:
You all know the standard manila behavior, when the phone is idle, the screen first dims and after some more time, depending on your preferences, the screen locks. It also locks if you press the power off button. This all was happening to me till this morning.
I added an event in the calendar (the only change I made today) and after that, my phone dims and then goes in sleep mode after the designated period of time, but DOESN'T lock!!! It doesn't even lock when I press the power off button. I can still lock it by pressing Start and then lock or by press and hold the power button and choose the lock phone option. So one would say that it's still operational, so why bother about it, but I kinda liked the standard function and I have to freaking idea why it changed!!!
I'd be most appreciative if you could offer some help with that.
Oh, I forgot to mention. Soft reset didn't solve the problem. Erasing the calendar event didn't either.
My phone runs the factory ROM (1.66.482.1 ELL), I haven't changed anything other than user settings (yeah, I'm a noob... )
Thanks in advance!

Pocketshield could be the end of your problems. You can try it for 10 days and see how it goes...
But why do I need to buy third party software in order to revert my phone to it's original operation?
No, this is not the answer I am looking for. I was wondering if you know of any kind of settings that might have changed by accident and caused this undesired behavior.
Thanks.
The best to return to normal operation would be a hard reset. Or you can spend a while trying.
You can try
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Enable=1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Active=1
Thank you very much. I opted for the hard reset option... I hope it stays ok this time!
My HD2 also had some strange unlocking and unwanted calling.
I noticed it appeared when using the android style lockscreen.
When I changed back to the original one, problem solved
i had this too. the andriod lockscreen seems to be a bit buggy last time i used it, i accidentially called 7 random numbers
Hi all,
The proximity function makes the screen go blank during a phone call. But if somebody sends you an SMS, the screen wakes up nonetheless during the call. At that time, your ear can easily press the red button that drops the call.
Has anybody a solution for this behavior?
regards, Rene
I don't know if this will make any difference, but it's the first thing that springs to mind. There's a setting in BsB Tweaks for "SMS Wake Up". If you ensure that that is disabled, it may stop the phone waking up when you get an SMS.
This obviously means that it would never wake up when you get an SMS, so there may be a trade-off there. Depends what you want overall.
Hope this helps
hold on a sec... what sort of trade off You are talking about?? this option means, that incoming sms won't turn on Your screen and wake up the device, but it is still delivered instantly and You can hear it's notification. imho it is a great tweak, a real must do.

To be honest, I'm not sure, but I believe that's what it is, yes. BUT, I thought it was turned off by default. Maybe check in BsB Tweaks the state of that setting.
I love my HD but there's one really annoying thing
When my Calendar warns me about an event, my HD wakes up, vibrates and gives a audible tone. That's all OK, BUT... being awake the touch screen is now also active! It happens regularly that when the system is in my pocket and this happens I start calling people...
When I had this, I loaded TouchLockPro but that never helped for this...
What do I do about this? Alarming me is OK, enabling the buttons or screen is not!
