Hello,
i have a problem with applications running on my topaz.
They all run fine on Windows Mobile 6.1 (Pro),
but if i press the On/Off button on the top of the device to switch off the display or if it automatically switches off
the running applications only run in background minimized when turning the display on again.
they all run in background and i see the TF3D Interface in front.
Is it possible to switch off this "bug" with a registry key or do you know any solution for this problem..
Would be very nice if you help me with this problem.. wondering that appearantly nobody else had this problem before..
i used the search function of this forum .. and google.. cant find anything.. maybe searched the wrong keywords..
PS.: Sorry for my bad English.. Hope you could understand me xD
please help.. its a hard problem ..
?
so ... basically ... you want to automatically close all apps from background when the phone goes in stand-by mode?
As I understand it he's saying that when he presses the power button to go into standby, and then presses it again to put the screen back on, the unit is always back at the TF3D main screen, rather than on the app he was previously using. Mine certainly stays on the same app. I suspect it's something to do with the auto lock settings.
thank you for your answers
@ georgeono:
no i want to prevent them being minimized.. after the standby mode..
at first they all run in front of tf3d..
then.. -standby mode- is activated
[the screen is black]
i reactivate the phone..
-> all running applications run minimized (in background) behind TF3d and i have to choose them at first in the task manager to get them to front again..
but i want that they arent minimized when i reactivate the phone..
nobody has this problem too ?
please post a solution
Did you apply any tweaks? registry changes? or is this happening on a cooked rom? which applications did you install before this happend? I doubt this happened "on it's own"
no i dont use any tweaks ..
just the blank device with vodafone branding ..
i think its a windows mobile behaviour.. because i have the good old htc artemis with windows mobile 6 and it has the same problem too..
..
thanks for your answer
The same happens with 6.1 & 6.5 ROM's. It is normal behavior...
I hate it because it continues to use RAM, but it's "normal" WM behavior.
There is likely a registry edit to auto close programs, but that wouldn't help you.

normal behaviour? I don't get that on my Topaz (stock ROM 6.1 unbranded) - Returning from suspend the program I ran last is still in the foreground...
Ok, here's what I would check:
Download FDCSofts Taskmanager http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
Install and start, píck "notifications" from the drop down list on the upper right.
Check if one of the entries is a "CNT_EVENT" set to the event "The device woke up". If there is one try disabling it (don't delete yet!). Disable with the 6th button from the left on the lower bar of FDCSofts Taskmanager.
Do not mess around there! Disable at most, don't delete if you don't really know what you're doing.

I double checked again to make sure.... Still does it and always has.
I am using udK R6 now and it is the same.....
No biggie though. I always close everything down in task manager anyway.
Thank you for your answers .. its such a nice xda forum.. very good xD
To the problem.. :
i think its a windows mobile behaviour too.. but if so, it shouldn't be a problem ..
anybody knows the registry tweak to solve this problem ?
@andy_2307
I think i found the solution to the problem...
Just after i posted the same problem in another thread here on xda-developers, i got the idea to change on thing just for trying.
let me guess: you have a (numeric) device lock activated, so that you can lock your device with a "PIN" (separate from your SIM-card PIN)?
Even if you set the time to - let's say - 24 hours, so that the lock does not activate itself, but only when you lock your device manually by pressing the end-call-button for some seconds; this setting (having the numeric-lock activated) causes the issues.
I just deactivated the lock, so that long-pressing the end-call-button just locks the screen and does not force you to enter the device-PIN - and now the device won't go to the homescreen after waking up from standby.
This would explain why not everybody has experienced this - many people do not lock their devices with a separate PIN, and as such don't see this issue.
Only problem now is - for Security Reasons i want to have my device locked in a way, that someone else can not access it (even via activesync) if i lose my device or if it is stolen. without the default windows-mobile locking function, how is this achieveable?
annoyance A or annoyance B

Just tried messing around with this on my touch pro 2. Hitting the suspend button manually and then reactivating returns to the home screen.
Just found that if I set the "Prompt if device unused for" value to "0 Minutes" it stops returning to the home screen, but now I have to type the security code every time it suspends. I guess it depends on what you find more annoying.
It looks like, for me at least, if I am presented with a security input panel, it doesn't return to the home screen on resume. Seems related to the security lock feature, but not necessarily a bug with the lock itself.
I was adjusting my e-mail settings when the phone frooze. Had to remove battery to restart.
But after that I got stuck with this lockscreen.
Softreset didden't work. Tryed to switch between windows standard and windows classic lockscreen but nothing.
How do I get "The Slider" back?
(I have no lockscreen mods installed)

Go to the settings tab, Menu, All Settings, Lock and go to the Display tab. Make sure you've got Windows Default selected, not Windows Classic. Click OK and it'll ask you to restard. You should now have the lockscreen you want back.
Hope this helps
Edit:
Sorry - I just noticed your device isn't in English. I hope you can translate my instruction on your device okay.
Sorry, I guess "Standard Windows" is Swedish for "Default Windows" so i have already tryed that.
I have also tryed it with HTC sense off but still no change.
Still in need of help!

Okay - sorry mate. That's me done then.
Thank's for trying!
So what do you think, will a hard reset do the trick?

I reckon that would do it, yeah, but it seems overkill doesn't it. I'd hang fire for now and see if anyone on here comes up with a better solution. At least the phone is locking! It could be worse.

when i sekect lock from all settings, theres only setting password and hint. nothing else. my lockscreen wont automatic lock wen my screen is off.
I found that after a soft reset my Lock screen would not appear after the phone had gone to sleep (or I'd turned the screen off manually).
I solve it by .......
After a soft re-set or having turned the phone off;
go to Start
press 'Lock' at the bottom left of the screen
The lock screen now appears and then acts normally - until the next soft reset when I simply repeat the above
Nop!
Allready tryed that, still the grey lockscreen...
//Johan
Lost Screen lock
Here is the one simple solution that works for me:
When I installed some cab. files I have lost the screen lock.
Longpress the end/power button. this will bring out options to power off, Lock device, set vibrate...
Simply press "Lock device".
Now you have a screen lock that keeps working.
Well I've tryed that but It will still use that grey thing...
//Johan
Some people don't really read that well, do they?
argh
i have to always manually set the lock device. it wont automatically do it.
i recently installed pocketshield and that messed it up so i dont think everyone deleted properly?
should i use SKTools or a software to delete unused registries? or is it cab files?
YEEEES!
I figured somehow the default windows lockscreen file must have got corrupted...?
So I installed this cab:

found in this tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618989
As a last attempt before a hard reset. And thank god it did the trick!
Thank you all for your help, without this forum my HTC would have ended up in the bin the day after I bought it!

still didnt work. just still acting the same.
i have the same problem after i have installed puremind's 1cab4all_20shcutsv1.3No.Net3.5.
i tried the above suggestion but didnt work, i have to put the lock device to make it work, but i dont want to enter the password everytime to go to homescreen.
Anyone have the same problem?
1. This happens a few times on my HD2, make sure you have BSB Tweak installed. There is an AutoLock switch on there. Make sure that is set to On (which it will be default).
2. Then on the odd occasion when the device does not lock, hold the power button to get the Quick List and click Lock Device, now it will be ok - till the next time it happens (mine usually after a few days in which case repeat step 2).
First of all, sorry about my bad english...
I've installed s2u2, and then uninstall it because I didn't like it.
My HD2 screen suddenly doesn't lock itself after I press the "turn off" button. it did this problem before, but then i fixed it with pressing "start" and then "lock".
I tried to do so again, but it hasn't work.
what can I do so my HD2 screen will lock itself after pressing the "turn off" button (like he did before I installed S2U2)??
Thanks, EliorAvR.

You probably need to go in and turn on the device lock again. S2U2 automatically shuts it off when you install it.
Start>Tools>Device Lock>Check both items at the top
I can't find in my HD2 the "Device lock"... can it be in other location?
if u bothered to read this thread here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638 u wont have any issues..
27. Disable Auto Screen Lock
If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1258236796 thanks to triperko.
this issue has been resolved..
No, that isn't what I meant. I uninstalled the SU2U from my device, and I want the HTC lock screen to lock my phone when i press the "turn off" button.
Sorry for asking again, but can anyone help me?
go to Settings --> Menu --> All Settings --> Lock --> Check box "Prompt if phone unused for: "
let's see if that works..
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 1. See if it works?
-I tried the "all settings" thing, and I have to use password...
-How do I get to HKCU? what is it? controlpanel and staff?
i had the same problem few days ago...i tried different ways...but somehow it worked after couple of hours.
hold down the "call cancel" button and click "Lock Device"...and do the soft reset.
if that didn't work then just install the original cab file for HD2 lockscreen. I've attatched it below. Hope that helps.
How do I do soft-reset? particulary after I had locked my phone? and the cab didn't change anything...
i have the same issue. Any solutions yet?
The regitsry option doesn't work....Even i m in same ditch with no defualt lock screen on my phone
Okay Guys...i was able to get the lock screen back on my phone without any hard-rest and without any cab installatio.
Just made the following updates in Registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen and look for "Enable" and set it's dword to 1. Soft reset.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\ and look for AutoDeviceLockEnable dword should be 1.
U need to restart your phone(soft reset) and everything works as usual.
I had not install any S2U kinda software. Just installed Iconsoft PhoneEx2 2 days back. I still don't know what caused the change in my phone.
Happy to have it working properly now!!
the cab didn't work. i tried to tap the box in the "all setting -> lock", and it work! but i have to use password, and i don't want to use password...

this is worked for me thanks alot.
just soft reset your phone. and the changes will take place
I guess this could go in the Apps and Themes forum but I thought I'd stick it here in case the issue is broader than me thinking it might be related to CHT removal.
Decided to uninstall CHT 1.7 (and Advanced Home Tab 2.2.4) after getting fed up with lag/freezing/etc, and now I have three problems on the home screen:
1. The top-left part of the calendar (day, date) widget seems to be the same size as the CHT version, i.e. smaller than the default one, and therefore sits 20-40 pixels away from the rest of the calendar. EDIT: it won't even let me launch the calendar or alarm by pressing on it (or any area of the widget)
2. I can no longer scroll the apps to reveal the additional 6 below the 3 that sit at the bottom of the screen. EDIT: this has just started working.
3. The 'Menu' button no longer works on this screen either - it flashes upon touch but nothing pops up - so I can't access any quick links etc.
Can't find anything on the forum search or elsewhere.
Also, CHT may not have uninstalled properly because it won't disappear from the list of "removable" apps. Does this mean it's left some legacy code that is forcing the calendar to mis-display, etc?
Thanks
SC
Decided to reinstall CHT 1.7 along with the editor and see what happens. Running only one screen of apps (4x4) to see if this makes it more stable.
make sure you turn off sense before uninstalling....

Ok - so do I go to settings > menu > all settings > today > items > check Windows Default before uninstalling ... and then uncheck it after reinstalling?
Thanks
yup that's the one.....
check default, uncheck sense, soft reset, uninstall, reset, start up sense again.
Not guaranteed to work but its worth a try....
hope that helps.....

I'll put this out there just in case anyone else gets into a pickle like I did earlier today!
If you decide to install Cookies Home Tab, then install Advanced Home Tab, only to discover that the version of CHT is a lot newer than the version of AHT you thought you had....
Sense really gets messed up, so much so, all you get is white background and no response, to *anything*.
I managed to get my beloved HD2 back from the brink of certain hard reset by:
Attempting connection to my laptop (Win7) using ActiveSync (thankfully it was set to that as default!) and attempted the uninstall of AHT through Mobile Device Center.
This appeared to go ok, except MDC did close unexpectedly after the uninstall.
I brought it back up, and it was still installed. Ok, plan B.
Plan B:
Just before the SIM card PIN entry screen (I'm guessing this screen pauses the boot up just enough) you can open the start menu, this allows access to your programs.
I used Total Commander to launch CHT installer (I always keep cabs on my SD card) which attempted uninstall and failed on a few files (as Sense was still switched on, switching it off wasn't an option due to not being able to get this far until now).
I then managed to get into the Windows Settings via the Start menu, and disabled Sense before rebooting. My god, it was slow booting that time!
From here, I reinstalled CHT and CHTE, uninstalled AHT and all is well!
Hey guys,
Im using Windows 8 Release Preview (Build 8400)
When not moving the mouse or keyboard, the lockscreen appears exactly after 1 minute. This is really annoying when reading on a webpage or something else...
I googled & searched xda, but found nothing usefull. Also i checked the Windows 8 settings; found nothing.
Is there a way to change the lockscreen timeout?
Maybe with a registry hack?
yes you can change timeout for screen by this step
1-goto control panel and then choose power options
2-you will got two types of plane
3-at Balanced(recommended) right there are (Change plan settings)
Choose it and you will got 3 choices
Choose never to turn off the display& put the computer to sleep
And save it
I hope i helped you?
If you need anything tell me
Bye

Nah, sorry.
I dont mean display timeout. The lockscreen appears after exactly 1 min.
Doesnt matter, what the plan-settings say...
(My settings in the balanced plan are 5/10/60 min.)
Found the solution myself.. Thread can be closed^^
It is the screensaver setting. Even if there is no screensaver set, this affects the lockscreen timeout..
