Device lock shortcut

I did a search but could not find a result.
Is there a way to place a shortcut to lock device. I know S2U2 and all but I prefer Organic Lock which does not just run by itself (like for S2U2, I just run S2U2.exe and the device is locked). So I was trying to look for a way to lock as a shortcut for a button but to no avail.
Does anyone know a way? Thanks in advance.

There are a couple of different ways it could be done. If organic lock is what you are wanting to use then lets post this question in that thread to generate results that last with that program.

an alternative... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2141872&postcount=187

is there also a way to lock the device as you can set it in the settings...
i have the problem, that if i set the automatic locking to 1 minute, its mostly is to short and i do have to reenter my 4 digit pin.
if i set it to 5 minutes (next option point after the 1 minute), then the period is too long... so how can i use a button or program, that locks the devicce, that you would need to reenter the password to unlock it? like if you softreset your device?
is there a way?

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

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.....

throttle lock question

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!

well, i appreciate the help but unfortuantely that method, nor anything else i do makes it work like i want it to...any other options?

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

Do you mean the sim pinlock?
On mine the simlock asks for the password when i start up and i use throttlelock as a general screenlock.

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.

How do you set the new WM6.5 lock screen without password

How do you use the new WM6.5 without setting a password?
On the demonstration videos of WM6.5 around the web, there is no password screen when they slide the lock. But I can only activate the lock when i also set a password.
Hopefully someone can help solve this.
I do not want to use another program when Microsoft finally implemented this feature in the new Mobile OS.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542482&highlight=lockdevice maybe your looking for something like this?

If you are trying to disable the default pin lock goto settings-Lock. Under password uncheck "prompt if phone unused for" thats all I did.

If you press and hold the hang up button you can choose lock phone - no password setting required

seems like you should be able to reprogram a key to lock..

SmartLock 1.7E
Hi all
Look for SmartLock 1.7E. You can set it to "Suspend Lock" which means every time the device is resumed from being suspended its locked.

WM 6.5 Locking screen

I seem to have a problem with the locking screen. I installed the official ROM for WM6.5 and when i lock my device i get the ugly Gray screen with Gray button telling me 'Push to unlock'
I thought that WM6.5 by default had an unlocking screen with a slider of some sort. Any ideas?
Grtz

You got the TD2 Tools? With this program you can enable the unlock screen of Windows Mobile 6.5
Maybe this helps?

Yes I installed that, but i see no option to enable the WM6.5 locking screen.

Sorry, my fault... it's a tool called DiamondTweak
in this tool you can activate the lock screen

Sorry, may I know if this screen is automatic lockup after a prefinded idle time? And does it require a password to unlock? I see a similar function in control panel, can set time, but need a password.

HKCU\controlpanel\backlight\autodevicelockenable form 0 to 1
remember to soft reset

It locks the screen after some time, when you did nothing with your mobile! It does not require any password for unlock!
The function in the control panel is to prevent other persons to do something on your device after the time you can choose! The password you need there is the one, that you want it to be!

Have you tried
Settings--->lock---> display ---> Windows default / classic.
YOu will need to soft reset after change
