Hi,
Phone Lock on my HD2 is set to ask for password if phone is unused for 15 minutes. But my HD2 ask for Phone Lock password each time the screen goes off. Is it possible to change this behavior?
I have the same problem. The phone lock is set to 24 hours, but if the dispaly goes off and i power it on the hd ask for the phone lock password, too.
Can someone help?
Usually if I don't want the phone to lock, I just set the screen not to turn off at all. Under settings, display etc.
HI,
i want, that the screen is locked but only with the slider. At the moment i slide to unlick and then i have to enter the phone lock passwort. But this password should only appear if i restart my HD2 (for this reason i set the phone lock password option to 24 hours).
with my "old" HD this works great.

Strange, does this fix work for everyone else?
After I installed it, once I press the power button to shut the screen off, when I press any of the hardware buttons, it dumps me to the screen that I was on, but no longer asking me to swipe. I guess I'm looking for the fix so that the below behavior happens:
1) If I press any of the buttons before my "timeout" happens, phone should ask me to swipe my finger to "unlock" the screen.
2) If I press any of the button after the "timeout", then phone should ask me to swipe but then also ask me to punch in a PIN or complex passwd, depending on the setting.
Are there any registry hacks that can do what I described? or does it do exactly that and it's my particular phone that isn't working?
thanks!

Having been interested in exactly the same thing, it seems like this cannot be done at present. The lock is either there with a password or not there at all. My current compromise is to set a one digit pin, but that's a bit pointless really.
The slider can be added with S2U2 but this seems to defeat the object somewhat...
I have the same problem. I'd like to be able to lock the device (or at least to turn off the screen) without typing the password at each unlock. I set it to 24 hours.
The patch should be fine as temporary solution
Password lockout problem solved
Great,
this has solved my problem that intermittently and usually overnight I get 'incorrect password message' when I try to unlock, only solved by a soft reset which is rather worrying.
I don't want to have autolock, especially every time I switch on and off like you all.
This little add on allows manual lock (by setting widget on screen with SPB mobile shell), and I have set default to 12 hrs for password screen.
Many thanks
Rory

Ha! Think that's worrying? ...You're right.
I had this a few times in the past and each time was able to solve it by a soft reset.
Not the last time, though. After trying numerous soft-resets, I finally saw no other way out than to hard-reset my device. In the end, it didn't even display the "incorrect password" dialog anymore. I suspect I had entered an "incorrect" password too many times, but the device did not manage to present me with the "enter a1b2c3" prompt that it usually does when that happens.
Very, very frustrating. Some quick googling gives a few reports of this happening to other people, not just on HTC handsets either. Not too many though, so it sounds like it's pretty rare.
(For the record, running 1.48 WWE here, had a 7-digit simple PIN set as the device lock password, with Windows Default display)
i have the same problem it asks for password every time i unlock the phone and the bad thing is that sometimes even correct password doesnt seem to work so that i have to soft reset or wait for half an hour b4 trying the password again , just confused about it . australia
i took out my password for now. i have to reset once in 2 days now to unlock phone. i wont be able to make a call in case of an emergency so better option take it out.

Is there any fix for this problem yet?
with S2U2 you can set up a password config. (require password every: 5mins/15mins/1hr/ 4hrs or 12 hrs) S2U2 seems to eat my battery up though, thats the downside. also you have to download the "disable autolock" cab for it to work from the tweaks an mods sticky in themes/ apps forum. its a shame about the battery drain as this app is awesome but definately worth a look.
sorry heres linkhttp://s2u2.ac-s2.com/
Same problem and no answer until now ?
I also have the problem that I cannot configure my HTC HD2 that the screenlock works without PIN. I like to start the secure lock only after a certain time i.E, but there is only the way everytime with PIN or at anytime with PIN.
Sometimes mostly overnight the device "forgets" the correct PIN and I have to make a softreset. After done this , I can enter the oriinal PIN.
Is there no solution until now ?
Is there any idea what to do.
Read tip 27 of the Sticky Tips and Tricks - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638 - then the PIN will only be required after the timeout, not every time you lock the screen.
The bit where it doesn't accept the password is a known bug reported elsewhere, but there's no fix yet; I wish there was, because I get it occasionally.
Resolve screen lock issue by editing registry
Enable/Disable the Exchange security policy – HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023: 0 = Enabled; 1 = Disabled
Inactivity time
HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}\AEFrequencyType: 0 = No inactivity time; 1 = Activity time enable
HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}\AEFrequencyValue: number of minutes before timeout

Until the buggers push it out again and you get fed up of having to set a PIN then edit the registry every day
Incidentally, is there a way to lock the screen without a PIN after a set period of time? All I can find is either a manual lock or a lock with a PIN.
Slidelock & pin code every time driving me nuts!

I made these exact reg edits (my very first registry edit!) and it's made no difference at all, my HD2 still asks for pin every time I switch off & on.
I want to keep the slide lock to prevent accidental button presses when device is in my pocket, but the pin input is a pain my previous device only asked for it once every 24 hours or after powering up the phone. Has anyone solved this yet?
Should I change the registry back to pre-edited?
Disable hardware buttons
I realized one thing that is draining my battery is the accidental press on hardware buttons when my hD2 is in my pocket. Is there a way to disable the hardware buttons other than the end/power button when the screen is turned off ? It is silly that the press of any hardware button turn on the screen ...
Hi All, I needs some help!
I have a Vodafone HTC Magic, all working fine until this morning when it has decided that it does not want to lock the screen.
I have it all set to require a pattern to unlock but this morning I have come to use it and noticed it didn't ask for the pattern.
I checked the settings and they were not set to require a pattern, no idea what changed it? Anyway I set them again but despite this everytime I lock the phone now (basically just by pressing the end call button) any button will bring it back to life and it is not asking for the pattern so everytime it's in my pocket and a button gets pressed the phone comes on!
I haven't installed any new apps and have tried turning it off and taking out the battery but the screen locking just wont work.
EDIT: Also noticed that the home button doesn't do anything now either!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Replying to myself but thought I'd let anyone who was interested know that I sorted it. Not altogether happy though because it required a full factory reset!
Is my phone running Android or Windows??????
Is anyone else anoyed by the redundant unlock process with 2.2? In 2.1 I had a pattern unlock only, you were able to disable the single swipe thing. Now it appears if you activate any kind of unlock (pattern, PIN, password) you will have to swipe the screen first to even get to the unlock pattern. Why? Only way to delete the swipe is to have no unlock pattern at all.
I did at first but I found out that you can control music with that lock screen. So when I have it hooked up in my car I dont have to unlock the phone just to change the song. After a while I just got used to it...
I had it disabled when I upgraded... now it's nowhere to be seen. WidgetLocker it is. Sort of your problem reversed.
ah ha! i knew i wasn't hallucinating. I had some audio controls for pandora even in 2.1 at one point, but they mysteriously disappeared. anyone know how to get that feature back?
I have a SIM unlocked and unbranded Desire Z (not rooted). I've set the screen lock to 5 minutes and to require a pattern to unlock.
I've noticed that if I let the phone go to sleep, and then after 5 minutes flip out the keyboard, it unlocks it without requiring the unlock pattern. Does this happen to anyone else?
Yeah, I think this is by design. On Windows Mobile there was a reg key to enable / disable "unlock on slide" Maybe there is similar for Android.
Craig
I can't believe this would be by design, it completely undermines the security on the device. How could these be handed out to corporate customers when they can be unlocked by just flipping out the keyboard?
Also the behaviour is inconsistent. If I unlock using the power button, and then turn off the screen, if I flip out the keyboard to wake up again, I do require a pattern to unlock. But if I leave the device for 5 minutes and try again, it lets me straight in.
Ooops, I completely mis-understood your initial post.. The pattern is a sort of PIN screen isn't it..
Ignore me!
Craig
when i slide mine open, it shows me the unlock pattern screen in landscape

I get mixed results. Sometimes mine asks for the password, sometimes it doesn't. I've tried with a PIN, password and pattern. I seem to get the problem more often when the phone has been asleep for a long time, e.g. if I flip it open in the morning when I wake up.
In a way I am glad no one else has this but it's pretty annoying for me!
I get the same problem.
I've also found it to be sporadic. So far i'm thinking there is a pattern depending on what app you have on the screen when the phone locks or sleeps. For instance if its the home screen then it seems to be ok and on waking it prompts for a password. But on other apps it doesnt....
Do you have the same problem if you set the lock time to immediately? Maybe its some kind of problem with the timer.
With immediate lock time I cannot get into the phone without drawing the pattern, keyboard or no keyboard.

I think you might have nailed it there. If I leave the mail app open and lock the screen or let it go to sleep, after a while I can unlock it by just opening the keyboard.

I am testing this and it seems to work properly so far. I'll keep it on lock immediately and see if it happens again. This is really crap though. Most users are going to keep the default of 5 minutes and be totally insecure ...
Hi all,
i use StocK ROM ICS, no root and Stock Kernel on my Note.
Most times i set my events on google calendar with settings popup 10 minutes before appointment will start. if you do so you will get a reminder on the phone like this one on screenshoot attached.
The big problem is now that i use PIN for security lock the phone, but after this reminder the whole phone is unlocked and you can use it normal without the need of the correct PIN!
In settings the phone still says, phone locked with PIN, but you can shut off the screen or let phone as it is until screen shuts off, but with power button or home button you can access the phone again without the need of the PIN
Phone stays in in this status until you set the PIN config again or some times it will be locked if an email or call gets in.
Does anybody else get this issue already?
Anybody else with this issue?
Can some one with LPY ROM test please?
-set phone via volume button to silent, vibration off also
- make an appointment with reminder 10mins before start time
than same screen should appear like on screenshot from previous post
now close the appointment and check if you can access the homescreen without the need of a PIN or pattern.
Thanks for a feedback.
