Blocking of outgoing call - Touch HD General

Is there any way to lock outgoing calls??
Because I made calls without I knew I had pressed some keys.
So, I would like to make calls after pressing of special keys.
(Incoming calls are no problem, because of some good auto lock solutions.)
Thank you!

i have wondered this too but best to lock the screen or get a app that auto locks after a certain amount of time. i cant rememer the one that i used but now i just make sure the screen is off before i put it in me pocket. when i first got the phone though it was a nightmare

As per above post you can use various apps to autolock screen. I use Smart Lock, though you can also use HD Tweak & LockMeLite.
To use Smart Lock, once installed go to settings > system > smartlock and ensure wm6.5 lock & suspend lock are both ticked, then reset device. Now everytime you turn screen off device will autolock

There is also the Slide 2 Unlock program created by an XDA member. Do a search on S2U2 and you should find it. Or go directly to his site at http://ac-s2.com/

Is there a way to Auto lock and unlock without entering PIN?

I'm using Miri WM 6.5 Manila 2.5 REV 6.
If I go to Start -> Lock, it works fine. But for Auto Lock (Settings -> Lock) it requires specifying PIN.
Is there a way to use Auto Lock in WM 6.5 without entering PIN/password to unlock?

Did you try HDTweak yet? It has a setting for autolocking.
I have tested it and it works however, on mine there was a strange issue with the backlight where it wouldn't turn on after unlocking. I had to turn off the screen and then turn it on, then the backlight would come back. It's only a minor issue, but if you can live with it it'll be fine.

Many thanks. But I did not use HDTweak AutoLock option because of that very issue .
Don't understand why MS doesn't implement this simple functionality.

Hmm... give Slide2Unlock a try. It supports autolock, but it's also a separate app which means using it will cost you more memory than the built in lock. But if you are in desperate need for this functionality, give it a try and it might just work for you.
I believe the newest version is S2U2.
Hallo,
I use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542482
May be it works with WM 6.5 as well

Its not the best solution, but a way round this is to stop your phone light going to dim in the power settings. Just have the screen turn off after 2 mins or so instead. This way the screen never goes dim therfore never stays dim!
Use this app. It overcomes the dim light issue. First go back to HD Tweak and DISABLE the lock on screen dim.
Install the cab and then go to Settings\System\Smartlock and tick the Dim lock or Suspend lock options. The screen will then autolock on dim or on pressing power and there are no problems with the light on unlocking.
Thanks everybody. I'll try.

Unfortunately the Incall lock (presuming it is for incoming calls, because there is Outcall lock that should be for outgoing calls) does not work. The hardware buttons still answer/reject the calls which can be a problem while pulling the phone out of the pouch .

Have a look at phonealarm

For me, it handles locking and unlocking, supporting the stylus, profiles, location based functions and many more.
Another alternative is S2U2

How to auto lock wm6.5 when turn off?

Hi all,
Do you know how to auto lock wm6.5 when you turn off the mobile? I speak about the "standard" lock screen not a software like S2U2.
Thanks in advance for the tweak.
Regards, Sylvain.
you can use smartlock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032
Or you can just check the Auto Lock in the Lock Settings. Then every time you boot the phone, turn on the screen, etc... it will prompt for your 4 digit pin and slide to unlock.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer but I would like to lock the phone without a digit pin. I don't know if there is a registry key for that or something I can change with Advanced Configuration Tools, HTCPedia, HD Tweak...
I'm sure I have seen an old post with this kind of trick but I can't find it that's why I need your help.
If you have another idea...
Thanks

Does exactly what you want! Remember to configure it after installing, under Start - Settings - System - Smart Lock.
You can"t do it by changing a registry key. A light application to auto-lock is LockDevice, link (and other applications links) here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
or simply use smartlock ... it's the easiest way to lock your device
I realise that this might not help you but, if you hold down the hang up button for 1 sec another menu appears and you can press lock. it also has other functions on the menu like cancelling data connections turning flight mode on etc.

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!

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.

Moto X Voice Unlock without speaking PIN

For anybody that is like me and would like to be able to unlock their moto x with voice without speaking their PIN, I have found a solution and thought I would share it. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done and only works from issuing a command through the ok google now always listening.
Prerequisites: tasker, secure settings
First, go into phone settings>touchless control>commands while locked. Enable calls
Second, create a dummy contact on your phone. I named mine unlock phone and used 888-888-8888 as the phone number. You can use any number you like but it has to be a working number for this to work.
Third, Create a new profile in tasker with the state being an outgoing call to your new contact
Finally, the task:
A1: secure settings>clear password
A2: wait 5 seconds
A4: end call
A5: wait 5 seconds
A6: secure settings>set pin/password
now when the phone is locked just say, ok google now.....call unlock phone (I've also had luck just saying unlock phone). once the call goes through, secure settings disables the password, ends the call, and then resets your password/pin.
I also have many other tasker profiles that I am willing to share. I have been trying to completely switch to voice commands for the phone so I have been doing a lot of work with tasker and its plugins. Any questions just ask.
Thanks for the post and info about Tasker. I am new to tasker and would be interested in seeing your setups. Thanks for your input:good:
I have profiles for:
opening apps, setting the volume, unlocking the phone,
automatically searching for videos and playing them in netflix or youtube,
once i get the thing to use chromecast, going to add the ability to choose big screen
starting/stopping/pausing music, skipping next/previous songs, restarting current song,
checking the current artist name/ song track,
auto posting currently playing song to twitter account,
prompting when new text message arrives to see if you would like it read aloud
with the option to respond and verify the message before sending
my newest creation:
manually set the speed limit, or when maps opens, it asks if you would like to turn on the speedometer
once you specify a speed limit, it checks to make sure its between 0 and 85, if not it prompts you to say a new speed limit
once the speed limit is set, it monitors your speed every 10 seconds to see if you are going 3 or more mph over
if you are speeding, there is a verbal warning to slow down.
if you are driving more than 5 mph under the speed limit, it doesnt do anything the first time but after the second check, it asks you if the speed limit has changed. this allows you to slow down for whatever reason but speed back up without the phone yelling at you
I am working on a smart monitor that will automatically set the speed limit based on your current speed, warn you if you start speeding but if you continue to speed, it will automatically reset the speed limit without yelling at you multiple times. same thing is true if you drop below the speed limit for a specific amount of time, it will reset it then as well.
then for those times when you leave a town, it will detect that you are picking up a significant amount of speed and set the speed limit after you reach a consistent speed.
Semi-related, I recently learned about the shell input options in Tasker. You can simulate screen touches by selecting the action as script, and then shell. The command itself is:
Code:
input tap x y
Where X and Y are the coordinates on the screen. I find it easiest to enable the setting in Developer Options to see the coords you're touching and write them down, then enter them into Tasker. You can also use swipe instead of tap:
Code:
input swipe X1 Y1 X2 Y2
I didn't mess with it too much, but I see A LOT of potential with it and Tasker App Factory to make one off apps to execute the commands and using Google Now to launch them while driving, etc.
Note that using shell commands does require root.

This is semi related. I'm not sure if a new update caused the Speak Pin to Unlock to disappear but my Moto X screen broke yesterday and I can't even unlock my phone since the digitizer broke. If I use a voice command such as "Navigate Home" to trigger the unlock screen I only get the option to enter pin and no option to Speak Pin which makes this a pain. Of course I had also left USB Debugging unchecked as well.

Anyone else experience this? Bueller?
You can create a thread describing all your tasker automation. It can help everyone. Just my two cents :good:
