Samsung setting - Display and Light - Lock Sreen - Lock when device is woken up Disabel

What do you mean by "for free RAM"

he means that if you disable windows lockscreen via registry you free up a quite large chunk of ram
But by doing that, we also disable the lockscreen S2U2, and you end up with all the default gray lockscreen

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a way to get the Device Lock feature (appears as a padlock on the Today screen) to active automatically after a preset length of time.
I have WM5 on my ex-SPV/M700 and the feature is very handy for preventing false button presses whilst device in pocket etc but annoyingly can only be invoked manually.
Thanks in adavnce for any help/info,
LL
Slide2Unlock works for me; it locks the device automatically when the device turns itself off (see your power save settings)

It looks that Slide2Unlock take more RAM and power.Is there any other choice?
setting a password on the device with a timeout of 0 give much the same result

I'm using Miri WM 6.5 Manila 2.5 REV 6.
If I go to Start -> Lock, it works fine. But for Auto Lock (Settings -> Lock) it requires specifying PIN.
Is there a way to use Auto Lock in WM 6.5 without entering PIN/password to unlock?

Did you try HDTweak yet? It has a setting for autolocking.
I have tested it and it works however, on mine there was a strange issue with the backlight where it wouldn't turn on after unlocking. I had to turn off the screen and then turn it on, then the backlight would come back. It's only a minor issue, but if you can live with it it'll be fine.

Many thanks. But I did not use HDTweak AutoLock option because of that very issue .
Don't understand why MS doesn't implement this simple functionality.

Hmm... give Slide2Unlock a try. It supports autolock, but it's also a separate app which means using it will cost you more memory than the built in lock. But if you are in desperate need for this functionality, give it a try and it might just work for you.
I believe the newest version is S2U2.
Hallo,
I use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542482
May be it works with WM 6.5 as well

Its not the best solution, but a way round this is to stop your phone light going to dim in the power settings. Just have the screen turn off after 2 mins or so instead. This way the screen never goes dim therfore never stays dim!
Use this app. It overcomes the dim light issue. First go back to HD Tweak and DISABLE the lock on screen dim.
Install the cab and then go to Settings\System\Smartlock and tick the Dim lock or Suspend lock options. The screen will then autolock on dim or on pressing power and there are no problems with the light on unlocking.
Thanks everybody. I'll try.

Unfortunately the Incall lock (presuming it is for incoming calls, because there is Outcall lock that should be for outgoing calls) does not work. The hardware buttons still answer/reject the calls which can be a problem while pulling the phone out of the pouch .

Have a look at phonealarm
http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html
For me, it handles locking and unlocking, supporting the stylus, profiles, location based functions and many more.
Another alternative is S2U2

I seem to have a problem with the locking screen. I installed the official ROM for WM6.5 and when i lock my device i get the ugly Gray screen with Gray button telling me 'Push to unlock'
I thought that WM6.5 by default had an unlocking screen with a slider of some sort. Any ideas?
Grtz
You got the TD2 Tools? With this program you can enable the unlock screen of Windows Mobile 6.5
Maybe this helps?
Yes I installed that, but i see no option to enable the WM6.5 locking screen.
Sorry, my fault... it's a tool called DiamondTweak
in this tool you can activate the lock screen
Sorry, may I know if this screen is automatic lockup after a prefinded idle time? And does it require a password to unlock? I see a similar function in control panel, can set time, but need a password.

It locks the screen after some time, when you did nothing with your mobile! It does not require any password for unlock!
The function in the control panel is to prevent other persons to do something on your device after the time you can choose! The password you need there is the one, that you want it to be!
Have you tried
Settings--->lock---> display ---> Windows default / classic.
YOu will need to soft reset after change
I've just uninstalled pocketshield from my phone (and SPB shell) and am back to Sense now (for the time being). I cannot find the setting to re-enable the sodding windows lock screen for when the phone wakes up - anyone know how to do this?
It's obviously been disabled by pocketshield as when you come out of standby it's open straight away with no lock screen - just can't find the setting to put the normal lock back on!
Thanks!
Doh! I found it - really obvious now, sorry!
but how?
yes, how??
Hello. I have installed the wonderful Co0kie's Home Tab & CHT Editor. I have set the WM phone lock to require a PIN after not using the phone for 15 mins. I also want a lock (without a PIN) when I switch the phone on after it has been off, so I set the CHT lock on to do this. Now if I switch off and on, the CHT slider appears without a PIN - exactly as required, but if I switch off and leave the phone for longer that 15 mins, I get the WM slider and PIN lock (as required) but then I get the CHT slider as well. Does anybody know a way of (a) stopping the CHT lock appearing if the WM PIN lock is active, or (b) removing the WM lock slider whilst keeping the PIN requirement. IE, any way of removing two sliders. Thanks in advance.
Next time
This has been seen before in these forums take a look next time, but just for ease go to your home screen and hit menu, cookies home tab editor, lockscreen settings and flip the slider to turn off the lock screen you dont wish to come on (enable CHT lockscreen or Enable default lockscreen)
Thanks for your reply Tobiascrystal. The default lockscreen is OFF. The CHT lockscreen is ON and the CHT "Lock on standby" is ON to ensure that the CHT slider appears after turning the screen off and on within 15 minutes. The standard WM "phone lock" (in settings) is ON (and set to 15 mins) to ensure that a PIN needs to be entered if you turn the screen off and on after 15 mins. Are you saying that there is a better way of setting this up? What I require is: If you turn the screen off and on again within 15 mins (maybe by accidently pressing a button), just a slider lock appears. If you turn the screen off and on again after 15 mins, a slider lock and a PIN is required. The problem is that in the latter case, The WM slider and PIN appears, but when a PIN is entered the CHT slider also appears. I hope that's clear!

Thanks Crillz. I have now updated Co0kie's Home Tab & CHT Editor to the latest version and like you, all the nasty hangs and crashes have stopped. However, I cannot use the CHT lock now as it does not support PIN security! Oh well, let's hope there is another upgrade soon.
