My screen lock dissapeared..my phone just goes dims and blacksout. But the screen lock is gone, how do i get it back?
thanks.
If you're on a ROM that is pre 1.6, go to start and lock. It will be back after that. If you're on a 1.6+ ROM, ignore that advice.
Incidentally, if that does help, if you ever notice that clicking email on the email tab does not open them, do the same to make that work again too. For some strange reason, they're both side effects of the same issue.

I swear I did not change any settings, but starting yesterday my Wing would just lock itself when the screen shuts off. Anyone know how to disable this? Thanks
*edit*
another odd thing I noticed - I don't have to unlock when the phone's charging. very weird.
what programs are you using? If you hold down the end key for a second, the phone will lock. Maybe you are accidentally bumping it when you put it in your pocket or case.
Sorry I wasn't more specific... I'm running ttran's OpenTouch 3.0. when I turn on the screen (using the power button) I need to press unlock twice to get to the main menu. It's annoying and I'd like to get rid of it. idk... I didn't change anything and it just randomly started happening yesterday. help?
I agree with you PharmacySchool...I'm running Ttran's 3.0 ROM myself and the "locked" feature pop-up on me this afternoon, out of the blue. It is very annoying and I'm not sure what caused it to start happening. Was getting an address out of the contacts list, X'ed out of contacts once finished, clicked the power button to turn the screen off...next time I went to use the phone, it magically was locked and has been since. A real pain to have to hit the unlock button twice just to use the phone. Have played around a little with it, but no success on correcting the problem yet.
Make sure you're not overclocking the phone. This can cause lock ups if the CPU overheats or if it doesn't get the required voltage or for other reasons.
The lock I'm referring to and I believe PharmacySchool...is like a "key lock". How some phones have an option to lock the keys so it can't accidentally call someone if numbers get pressed by mistake or while in your pants pockets. Nothing to do with the CPU or it being overheated. All you have to do is press the button to turn the screen light off and instantly turn it back on...it's locked. You have to hit the "unlock" button on the bottom left hand corner and the tap the unlock button on the screen. After doing such...you can once again use your phone.
I have the answer!!!

I'm pretty knew at this but I ran into the same problem and I figured out how to fix it. I don't know all the fancy wording so bare w/me. On your main screen touch and hold your battery symbol/ 6th option down says DeviceLock with a green check/ uncheck that **** and your good to go.
NOW someone PLEASEEEEE create a slide 2 "answer" not a slide 2 lock. I am so tired of my phone answering its self in my pocket when I don't want it to.
A_C 's S2U2 has a slide to answer feature..... You should check it out.

I've installed S2U2-0.2-WM5 with Touch It v2.3 and had problems. I think I remember it having a slide to answer but I also remember it answering with the green button as well. Maybe there was a way to disable it but I don't know how.
Does it work better Open Touch v3.0. because thats what I'm running now.
WOW... thats an OLD version.... that version should not have the slide to answer.....Current Version is 0.99p. It can be found in the development and hacking forum. You'll need to enable the S2A feature with the settings program...Man the apps come a LONG way since your version...We got animated gif support, Random still backgrounds, an exceptions list so voice dialers will work properly and internet browsers will stay alive... Just try the new version.

NICE!!!!! Works good so far. Now I won't be divorced! LOL
I really like some of the things about S2U2, and I apologize if this has been posted before...
I want to have something that will lock my screen but allow me to go back to where I was before I left off. The "system" lock that was put into the Telus ROM sucked, it completely removed whatever you were doing and cancelled back to the home screen.
I put on S2U2 and it was great, very pretty, etc. but when I was done with a call, I'd see the prompt come up with "Do you want to save this number?" but it locks immediately afterwards.
I also really like the TF3D interface that comes up when a call comes in, with their "slide to answer" function, and would also like to keep that.
So, basically, I only want the S2U2 to come on when I've put the device to sleep, not when resuming from receiving a call.... I'm asking too much, aren't I?
Is there any way to stop that?
Also, when putting it into Landscape mode, it buggers up the entire screen and I can't see anything. I don't have a screen shot, but it's a major annoyance.
The last problem you mentioned is already known. S2U2 has some problem in landscape if you used the album before.
Try to deactivate the caller ID in the S2U2 settings. I don't have any problem with S2U2 and incoming calls so far.
Sorry. not too sure by what you mean by album before. Can you explain what I have to change to get lanndscape to work?
I was wondering how to change the background screen when my TP2 is lock. I tried downloading different themes and background and it still doesn't change. I have a tmobile with stock rom and official 6.5 upgrade. Can anyone help.
thanks.
The background of your lock screen is the background of your Today screen. That is to say, the background set for Windows Mobile 6 and not the Touch Flo 3D background.
If you want to change your lock screen background, go to the Settings tab in TF3D, press the left soft key ("All Settings"), select the "Today" icon, and at the bottom of the first tab there will be a checkbox and a browse button to select your background picture.
S2U2
You also may want to consider S2U2. It offers much more control over locking phone and pictures Give it a search and check it out.

Thanks alot guys. I actually went to that window/tabs but wasn't sure what it would(I'm a newbie). Thanks again
I m having a really annoying problem. When I first got my phone (tilt2) I was trying out different lock screen backgrounds and somewhere along the way the incall lock screen buttons changed to these really horrible like round custom things. I didnt install anything so I dont have a CLUE how to get them back to the default buttons that I liked. Anyone have an idea?
I looked and searched (a few forums also) and cant find an answer. I have a TMOUS HD2 with their new ROM freshly installed (yesterday) and when I get a text message it will show the message but the only option I have is to "Hide" it. I tried clicking on it and everywhere else but it wont open the message unless I go to "Messages" so is there a reg edit I can do to get it to show "open" instead of hide...Thx...Tj
P.S. I would rather not install any programs but would like to work with what the phone has.
Hmm am I the only one with this problem?
no this isn't exactly a problem. This is a feature that is on the phone where if your at your lock screen or your display screen iss hut off thats what shows when you get to the lock screen. It's so you can view your text and who it's from before you unlock your phone and go into their threaded message.
I'm sure there is a way to disable it via reg but not sure.

OK but I do not have the screen locked. I can see the message and who its from but to open or reply I have to go to messages because the only option is to "hide" it...Tj
as with all things it can glitch. if you have your lock screen disabled but then you hit your right button for end call to turn off the display then touch another button to bring it back it could possible bring that up. I will see if I can find someone that knows the answer.

This has happened twice today. I am using the phone and the voice typing display will not go away. I can use the phone.. .i can go to the homescreen, open apps, look at settings, etc, but i cannot close the voice prompt, and i can't use it.
It essesentially makes the phone useless until i reboot.
I am not sure why it is doing this. Not rooted nor unlocked or anything.. just stock.
The other thing it is doing is that sometimes when i wave my hand over the screen i will see the unlock screen. it will have the time and a lock icon below it ... if i touch the lock icon, it moves to a lower (on the screen) position and when i re adjust to hit the lock again it moves back up. Not sure how to screen shot this... maybe a video from a different phone.
when this happens, it will unlock by pressing the power button. I think this has something to do with the smart lock. DAMN google for forcing you to have a lock when you use Android Pay. Never had this problem on my Note 4 with Wallet.
Anyway, any help on either of these bugs would be appreciated
ok, i can reproduce the bug.
can someone else try this to confirm?
- with the phone screen off have someone send you a text message.
- swipe up directly to messages. ( use the google one, but i am not sure if it matters.)
- reply to the message with a google voice typing
- hit the power button to turn off the screen.
- Have the person text you again.
- open message by swiping up to it.
At this point the tap to speak screen will be there and not go away until you reboot.
no one else?
here is a video showing the problem I can't believe I am the only one experiencing this
