unlock the screen is straight forward, how to lock it is the question! anybody can help?
A quick press on the power button will do the trick!
haha...tt's simple...tx a million!
Yeah! No problem!
Don't want to create a whole new thread for this as its probably a simple answer, but is there a way to lock the screen with numbers or something similar to the Sense UI? I just ask as I haven't seen any security on the lock screen so anyone can get in? There must be a way to lock it so only you can open it?

Well yeah. You can set a lock pattern that works in the same way. Kind of. It's in settings -> Security and at the top!

Hi
Looked at S2U2 for a day or so. I have read the file son thier site but cannot figure this out.
What I want is to be able to press a key and invoke the lock like you can with any conventional phone. With S2U2 it seems you have to go to programs, and launch S2U2. Can it not be assigned to one of the 4 quick keys ?
Also can anyone explain the setting "lock when the device wakes up" ? Why would you want to lock the
device when it wakes up ? also "Lock when screen is blank" ? not sure what that means, afaics, my HD screen has never been blank.
thanks for any help

lock when device wakes up is the best option.

Hi kidnamedAlbert
What exactly does this option mean, I find it very confusing. Surely when "device wakes up", I (the user) has done something to wake it up, so therefore I want to use it - not lock it. This option confuses me or Am I missing something here?
Not sure this is in the right forum since it's really a general WM question, but anyway...
I want to be able to view my today screen since it contains all my appointments etc even when the screen is locked.
I guess a transparent screen lock would solve the problem, but I havent found one yet.
Is there one?
Another solution would be something that kept the screen locked until I press the power button. Then it would be easy to unlock but still locked when it's not in use so I dont make calls etc without knowing it.
try s2u2 http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/s2u2-new-version-v2-30/ it will show your information on the lock screen

That's not good enough. I have everything specified just as I want it in my today screen and to find a custom lock screen that matches that is impossible to find. A transparent lock screen or a lock screen that gets unlocked automatically when I press the power button would solve it perfectly.
use the old (standart)lockscreen. like wm6.1
it is your homescreen with a unlock softbutton.
(i use wm6.1 and now i don't know why everybody is needing blown up lockscreens, when the old one was best )

How do I get the old style? If I show the lock object on the today screen it will still show the new 6.5 lock screen when I lock the phone.
i do not know how to get it back , but i know that it is possible.
i hope someone can show you the way.

Seems to work, thanks. Still interested in other soultions, but this will probably be fine otherwise.
or install Cookie Home Tab
it has customizable lockscreens, emphasis on multiple kinds of locks.
each has the ability to move the parts around like CHT always does. and you can make it fit your every need !

Does that requier HTC Sense? I'm using a clean rom without any HTC software, since I want to use the old today screen. This is very important since I use TodayAgenda.
Hey all,
One thing I've always wanted on android is the ability to slide-unlock, THEN to enter pattern/passcode/whatever.
Is there any way to do this? I found no way to do it in CM6. I'm now running MIUI and there's no way in this ROM either.
Is there some hack or software out there that will do this that I don't know of?
Have you tried downloading Widget locker from the market? That seems to be the most popular lockscreen replacement
No, there's no trial and I can't buy stuff off the market anyways. Does this allow for unlock->pass unlock?
From the screenshots it looks like it may.

just curios why do you want to unlock your phone twice?? ocd?
Haha no, I just like having a password on my phone and the lock screen with pattern lock is fugly. I don't want to see big dots all over my screen. I was able to fix this with CM6 by making it all invisible.
I sort of want it how the iphone does it, or how my buddies android 1.6 phone does it.

I actually really miss this function from my G1. Haha. I don't like the invisible buttons because it just makes the screen look absolutely empty. I would love a Unlock -> Password option.
Uhm, am I missing something or isn't that how it works by default? When I have a password or pin setup, and go to unlock my phone, I get the unlock screen. Once I've swiped to unlock, then I get the password/pin prompt. The only time it doesn't behave like that is when a pattern-unlock is being used.

Yep, I was. Makes no sense why you can't have this for pattern unlock as well!
I can't understand why anyone would want that!
It's one of the main reasons I don't like HTC sense roms - you can't get rid of the stupid unlock slider even when you have the pattern unlock enabled.
Why would I want to unlock it twice?!?
I want it because I frequently look at my phone for the time or for other various locked-screen uses, and it's aesthetically displeasing to look at it with the big bubbles all over the screen. Not to mention you lose the ability to slide to vibrate and that sorta stuff you get normally by default.
If you can't get WidgetLocker, try Simply Lockscreen. WidgetLocker looks way better, same with GoTo (but both are paid).
does anyone know how exactly, when your phone is locked, to skip the left-to-right swipe and go directly to the unlock pattern?
Sometimes, when the screen is dark, and i press the options button, it goes right to the unlock pattern... but i can't figure out how to reproduce the behavior reliably.
thanks, guys!

NOT POSSIBLE, i want that too
well... thanks for the reply regardless. I don't know why it works every once in a while.
is not possible to have unlock pattern first.
Hello everyone, couldn't find the answer anywhere so here I am - when I go to my lock screen it automatically does this weird zoom-out for a split second and then stays still.
I'm new to the J5 and can't figure out how to make that stop, is it possible? If so - how?
Cheers!

This is just a touchwiz animation effect. Unfortunetely it can not be disabled.

On Lollipop you can turn it off changing lock screen option to dragging, then choose the first unlock effect (colours something like that). Then change again your lock screen method and use the one you like. In android 6.0 I think you can't chage it.
