I installed S2U2 and quickly decided I didn't like it, so I closed it and then uninstalled and then did a soft reset and the S2U2 lock screen was gone however there is no lock screen.
I press my hardware end key and it turns the screen off, when I press it again normally it would display the lock screen however it just wakes the phone and doesn't display the lock screen.
If I hold the end key and select lock screen then it will display the lock screen but when I unlock it and then lock my phone using the end key it doesn't show the lock screen on waking up again.
aLlamaWithARifle, when you install S2U2 it disables autolock so you won't have an issue with S2U2 double locking. To fix, use a registry editor and go to: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen and look for "Enable" and set it's dword to 1. Soft reset. If that doesn't work go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\ and look for AutoDeviceLockEnable dword should be 1.
If you don't like messing with the registry, you can install bsb tweaks, if you haven't already, and enable autolock there.
Hope that helps
I edited the registry but the lockscreen enabled was already set to 1, tried autodevicelock to 1 and did a soft reset but still not working.
Try this: HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd DeviceLockWhenSuspend and set it to 1. Softreset.

Hey!
Is somewhere out there an application or some sort of WM modification that would make the default WM device lock power-button-sensitive? The current one (if you enable it in Advanced Config) turn itself automatically on when you put the device into standby (by power button, for example) but when you press the button again, you have to unlock the device. That wouldn't be a problem if the TouchFLO 3D clock updated, but when the device is locked, the TouchFLO 3D clock doesn't update itself.
So I would like to have a keylock that would automatically lock the device if the power button is pressed (or the device is in standby) and automatically unlock when the power button is pressed again (or there's incomming call). But the important thing is that it would keep the device locked when some appointment showed up or something like that.
I've been searching the net and all possible forums and sites but ran out empty - no such application od modification found. Can anyone help? Maybe the csdevctrl (v.4.01) may help but I don't know how to set it properly.

StylusLock is locking the device and keeps running programs updating the screen (so is not interfering with them). But probably this is not what you requested, because it is not controlled via the power button, but the stylus.
Thanks for reply, but that's not what I'm looking for.

How do you do this in Advanced Config? I can't see it anywhere!!!
mayb he meant diamond tweak. there is a option called autolock. when ur backlight goes off or u turn off the screen it will lock the device.
Advanced Config 3.3: Screen -> Auto device lock & timeout.
I dont have that option on my HD with advance config
my solution
I had same problem and auto device lock did not solve it. because I don't want the device is auto locked when the screen is on. It should only be locked when the screen is off and device is waken up by power button or any call/sms/alarm event.
- Battery Status plugin was able to do this great but it does not work stable with TouchFlo 3D.
- To lock the device automatically on wakeup ThrottleLock is a great application but while it locks the screen clock and today screen is not updated.
- I also tried VJDeviceLock but it did not work automatically on wakeup. But when you execute VJDeviceLock.exe it locks the screen manually using the device lock of Windows Mobile.
To solve these first I installed VJDeviceLock and then ThrottleLock. Then I copied VJDeviceLock.exe into ThrottleLock folder in the name of ThrottleLock.exe. Now every time I wake up the device screen is locked by Windows Mobile's devicelock instead of ThrottleLock's pattern based custom lock screen.
Hi, is there a way or an app I can use to trigger the device lock manually? I don't mean the simple lock where the screen is disabled. I want the windows lock screen with the password. I set the device to lock after 1 hour of inactivity but I want a way to manually trigger it anytime.
You can use the lockscreen app here and set to lock on Suspend. Then pushing the power button will lock.
Alternatively, you can set the Call End key to activate the lock, so a long press on End will also lock the device. Go to Settings\Personal\Buttons and go the End Key tab and choose appropriate setting.
Thanks for the reply. I tried the End Key but it only works if you disable the auto-lock when inactive setting. And when it works, it only does a screen lock without the PIN entry. I would like to lock the screen with the pin entry
Hello. I was trying to disable Auto Screen Lock on that way
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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But there is no such reg entry Is there any other way to disable that function?
create the entry my friend. i.e. new......dword.....name it DeviceLockWhenSuspend nd set value to 0. restart. done
Thanks man. Now it's working
But there is still the problem with double locking if you press "end call" button when using s2u2. Anyone has a solution for that?
I'm quite new to WM and I'm having a bit of trouble :/
I installes S2U2 and after a while, i got bored of it and wanted to go back to the the default lockscreen, so I uninstalled it.
The problem is that now there is no lockscreen, and pushing the power button unlocks the device straight away. If there anything I can do to correct this without hard ressiting the phone?
I had the same happen after using Cookies Home Tab lock screen and then reverting back to the Standard one.
I too was dreading a Hard reset to return it to normal but .. there is a way to fix it
Install BSB Tweaks - Launch the tool and then locate a setting 'Auto Lock' and turn it on if it's off.
Press Menu at the bottom and then choose Soft Reset.
You'll now find the lock working as normal
Lock screen suddenly stopped working without me changing any settings, etc. Tried a couple of fixes and now the off button no longer sends the phone to sleep, instead it just freezes the whole phone. I have to then hold it for 2-3 seconds to get the "Turn phone off ... lock phone ..." popup > press cancel > phone returns to home screen and it's working again.
As I write this, I've removed "Chris' lock slider middle" app and now the off button sends the phone to sleep. But when I wake it up, the home screen flashes/blinks as it does so.
Loads of info comes up on forum search, but I haven't been able to find a straightforward fix. Any ideas? The problem with this is that the phone keeps waking up (to home screen) in its pouch when in my pocket etc - not good because random things can then happen.
EDIT: Have just removed the password unlock option and that has at least stopped the screen from flashing/blinking on wake up. But still no lock slider.
Thanks

lock
Usually for example after flashing is necessary to lock device ones in WM itself. Have you already tried this simple procedure?
Press HW button with WM logo - > at bottom menu press "Lock"
I haven't flashed the ROM - it's a stock unbranded one.
Pressing WM logo button > lock = shows the old style lock message, not the slider. The weird thing is that even this doesn't work when I'm running Sportypal. And I use Sportypal to record my runs/mtbing - hence I need to be sure the phone locks properly when this and GPS is on in the background, otherwise the home screen get activated (by movement) and anything can happen.
Am also running CHT 1.8.5, B&B tweaks ...
Cheers

You guys are running a lot more programs than I am, but I just had the lock slider screen disappear again after installing a small program. This has happened before, too.
To get the slider screen back I just have to press on the bottom right end hardkey and then press "Lock Device." The slider screen comes back and then reappears each time the screen shuts off.
You've probably already done this.

Yes I have, but the slide lock doesn't appear. It reverts to the "To unlock the device, tap Unlock" screen instead. I.e the whole slider thing just doesn't exist anymore.
I thought I might be able to change it using CHT Editor 1.8, but it won't launch (never has) - I just get the same error as always:
"CHTEditor.exe
NullRefernceException
at
CHTEditor.CHTEditor_MainWindow.Check
Version()
at
CHTEditor.CHTEditor_MainWindow.RunSt
artupProcess()
at
CHTEditor.CHTEditor_MainWindow..ctor()
at CHTEditor.Program.Main(String{}
args)"
I've read that you can "control" the slider from within CHT Editor but unfortunately I've never been able to open it. All I can do it use home screen > menu > Edit quick links OR Edit home layout.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

ohh, now I have the same problem ones
I have installed CHT 1.8.5 and uninstaled Metro lock ... seems to be a problem of new CHT, better check the original CHT thread, maybe someone already solve it
I uninstalled 1.8.5 and installed 1.8.5.1.
CHT Editor now launches properly so I've set up the CHT lock slider to work - and it does. I still have to click WM > lock > on/off for it to do it though - but that's not really a problem. Still no sign of the original HTC lock slider though.
Only other problem is CHT Editor can no longer be launched via home screens > menu > CHT Editor. It says it's not installed. I guess this is because when I originally installed CHT it was set to open 1.8.5 - and now that's been uninstalled, it needs to point to 1.8.5.1. I'll have a search for that - but I'm hoping everything is available via the app icon anyway because that works.
