try S2u2.
Do a search - there are a few similar discussions!
i like the pocket shield on my touch hd -> http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/
I´ve tried S2U2 on my Wizard with some strange problems like Battery drain etc. Pocketshield works so far, but i loved the simplyness of DeviceLock.
Isn´t there any way to lock the device on wake up? Pocketshield shouldn´t be the last fix for this problem....
PocketShield is the best for the HD.

What version?
I´ve tryed aout Phoneshield, but i wasn´t that surprised of it. Now i´ve tryed This:
Goto registry:
HKEY_CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Backlight\[AutoDeviceLockEnable set to 1]
HKEY_CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel\[LockLevel set to 1]
That works for me without installing any Software

however doing this modification at registry can I answer to a call sliding to green the on screen indicator?
or am I forced to press phisical anser button?
The Modification doesn´t change the behaviour of the answer screen....
So it works perfectly for me.....
and after....

ah that's fine thx
I would to know one thing, I see two different key to lock the phone:
AutoDeviceLockEnable
LockLevel
why? isn't enough only one of them? for example backlight lockenable?
pls explain to me what exactly these 2 keys so
quick question :
which registry entry governs the backlight display on the lock screen,
at the moment i've got the phone dimming after 30 seconds, then it locks and the light comes back on. for about 30 seconds. ideal the lock screen would be illuminated for about 10 seconds then blank the screen.
What reg entries do i need to set to sort this out ?
answers appreciated.
many thanks.

am I missing a trick here, doesn't pressing the 'end call' button lock your phone with out the need to install extra software ????

by default yes, but you can amend the function of the long key press if you like via the buttons menu in further options.
i've got mine killing off connections data/phone, for example with the power button at the top locking the phone.
works for me.
Hi!
I'm still struggeling to find the right way to lock the phone. The ideal solution would be to:
1) Have the phone unlocked when I switch it on with the Power button (so that I can immediately use it after deliberately turning it on)
2) Have the phone automatically locked when it wakes up due to a phone call or SMS (so that I don't press anything by accident when it is in my pocket).
This seems to be the only really logical way to use device lock. Can this be done?
Regards!
But PocketShield doesn not meet my requirements (see above post). It's just another regular device lock app without the possibility to disable the device lock when the unit is turned on with the power button.
Regards!
I found the Registry-Hack Solution is the better way, just my opinion. But can somebody tell me which reg-value must be edited to avoid locking with end-call button? I don´t want to lock my device in this way, i want to end Data connections with long pressed end-key.
easy
1) scroll along to settings
2) hit 'all settings'
3) select 'personal' tab
4) select 'buttons' icon (top left)
5) get your stylus out
6) on the buttons screen, hit the arrow on the bottom right until you can see the "end key" section. hit that.
7) in the options listed, select "automatically execute selected action" and underneath this select " terminate data connection"
8) hit the OK button (top right) and bob your dads brother, you can now terminate data calls via the long press call cancel key.
nice one.
Thx for that.....
Hi
I just lost my unlock bar, that when I now press any of teh button i don't need the sliding unlock bar... I want it back but i don't know how i killed it....
THis is what I did...
- installed Torch Button
- installed Bsb Tweak
- ran torch
- ran bsb tweak to realize i need to .net CF 3.5
- installed .net CF 3.5
- ran bsb and made some tweaks (but don't see any pertaining to slide bar)
Slide bar now lost after a soft reset.
Any ideas?
Cheers!
Go to BSB Tweaks and check if the Auto Lock option is on.
apparently bsb turned off auto lock for me... sorry
Already solved it - slow post from me

I had the same thing happen to me after I upgraded to the 1.48xxx ROM. bsb did not work for me. in fact it seems like when I install certain programs it disappears again. The way I got it back was to press start then lock the phone using the lower left soft key "lock" and then it was back and worked each time. But every now and then it disappears again, this is a bug
ive been trying to unlock my screen here for couple hours and need to make business calls. everytime i call a phone number it calls just fine but my whole screen is locked! i can't use speakerphone, can't mute the call, can't use keypad. nothing works while im in the middle of a call? only the 4 hard buttons on the bottom of the htc hd2 work
can anyone help me please? i need to make some calls and need my keypad back!
Thank you.
Hard reset it, that should resolve the problem.

there is no other way around this?
i dont want to have to reinstall all my stuff and redo all my settings if AT ALL possible?!
thanks
If you by any chance enabled the "increase tap time" with BsB tweaks, then you have to disable it.
This is anyway covered a lot in the forums

+1 on that, increased tap time can cause this.
your a life saver!!!!
thanks so much! you just saved me hours of reinstalling. i knew someone would come around with a answer
now i can make my bizzz calls
When I'm on a call the screen is dead to the touch. I cant end a call or change to speaker phone nothing works. Any ideas?
Thanks
do you have a custom rom or a stock rom?
& have you tried to reflash that rom or flash a new rom? It might just be a bug within the Rom you are running.
Are you using the stock WinMo dialer, or the HTC?
You might have something stuck on/a hell of a smear over your proximity sensor. Try cleaning it up a bit.
If you are using BSB Tweaks and you have Tap Time enabled that can cause issues. Try turning that off.

thanks, did not know what the feature was set for when I was looking at BSB Tweaks.
i had the same issue....it was tap time as well
Fixed it guys Thanks
The problem is very isolated because when i answer or make a call the touch screen then becomes useless....i can't hold, turn on the speaker phone, switch calls, or x out off the phone tab. There have been some moments when it would work but if i tried another call it would stop working again. if someone could help me fix this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
turn off the 'increased tap time' tweak in BSBtweaks. (or uninstall the 'tap time' cab if you did it as a standalone tweak.)
