I am currently using the slide to unlock program and I love it, however I was trying to replace the factory keypad lock with the slide to unlock and i cant get it to work. If i got to start, settings, lock, I am unable to disable this factory lock, the check box is ghosted. so no matter what I do, whenever i restart the phone I have to enter my unlock code. I would like to just slide it to unlock it. I tried renaming the the s2u2.exe to endkey.exe and moved it over to the windows directory on my touch dual, still when i reboot i get the original keypad unlock.....any tips?

I installed S2U2 yesterday.. before that I did not use the builtin lock.
After installing S2U2 and starting it.. it locked..
It also locks after the set timeout value. I guess it is not linked to the factory lock app. So you need to use the S2U2 / Settings to use it.
Using the 'endkey.exe' functionally is as I believe to lock it usinge the call end key (holding it down for some time).
Hope this works for you
unfortunatly not, i still have the factory lock that overrides s2u2 whenever i turn the phone off and on
i'm using S2U2 0.96 as well and don't have this prob. fyi, i have:
settings > personal > lock > (checked) lock device if inactivity for 12 hrs
settings > system > lock device > (uncheck) auto lock device
(as i'm not using an English device, the above translated screen labels may be incorrect)

you need to overwrite endkey.exe with resco explorer. for me it worked.
but i think s2u2 was the reason why my device sometimes didn't woke up, so i don't use it anymore.
Ok, I installed S2U2 and since the default lock is still on I had to restart to get back in my phone. I am wanting to disable the default one so I can use any other one. What suggestions do you people have?

Hi guys.
I searched a lot in the forum but I didn't find something useful... my slide unlock is disappeared!!! even when the black screen is on, the slide doesn't work anymore. the sense appears automatically... even if I push the on/off button... boh
I installed some programs, like dutty taskmanager, 20 tabs and others, but not so heavy...
is there anybody able to help me?
thx a lot
have you tried a hard reset? Seems like the only thing you can do.
Assuming you are running ROM 1.48 you need to click Start>Lock and then the lock screen will work properly until the next time you do a soft reset.

Hi, does anyone know of a way to get your messages to automatically open when recieving a text, or some other visual notification for that matter? I'm new to windows mobile and I keep missing the small new message green icon!

Thank you jakem: I didn't know that after a soft reset I have to to that operation...
It works.... sometimes things are easier than they seem...
Thanks a lot!!!
I had the same issue as well after I had installed several programs. What I have noticed so far, was that after I installed Dutty's task manager, I've seen a process called 'Start'. When that was running, the lock screen didn't work. When I closed it via Dutty's task manager, the lock screen appeared automatically again! Don't know what the 'Start' process comes from though, but when closing it, it helped for me.

lock not working
install bsb tweaks and select auto lock, them when you press the hang up button/end call button the phone will then lock as it did out the box.
i had the same problem, it dissapeared after doin a few reg tweaks and istalling a few .cabs etc
I got the same problem yesterday! I made a lot of registry tweaks and cant unlock my htc with the slider anymore..
But i found my solution, the tweak for user information was it!!
I deleted all entries in user information and disabled it, and now i can unlock my htc with the slider again..

Happened to me after I installed the SMS patch from HTC. All of my settings changed. Had to do a hard reset and will forgo the SMS patch.
happened to me as well after adding and tweaking, i found that when i turned the power saving to off, on BsB Tweaks, it came back after a soft reset?

This is true for me aswell. I to did alot of tweaking and such, wich made my slider non functional. I then did a ROM upgrade, and did all the tweaking I had done before, only to find out it was Owner Information that was the sinner.
Wich I got from here: [REF] *Leo Hints & Tips* Under HTC Leo: HD2 > HD2 General section. 5. Enable Hidden Owner Info in All Settings\Personal Folder
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Owner and change Hide from 1 to 0 and then reset. You can now enter your name you want to register old apps.
I unticked show Owner Information, and the slider unlocks my phone again. But anyways, is there anyone who know if it's possible to get this to work, with Owner Information shown at wakeup AND the slider actually unlocking my phone?
Damn I just ran into this. Enabled show owner info and notes at startup, now slider unlock doesn't unlock to get into the screen. No way to get into the phone unless a hard reset?
am using my US Tmobile HD2 tonight and a blank Screen came um couldnt get to Home Screen.. and no buttons worked so i removed the battery then restart the phone it ask me for my pass word.. i try typing my password it keep saying "incorrect password" dang this sucks!
and when i hhit unlock nothing happens most of the times
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...

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:

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...
