Change Slide to Unlock

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?

Look here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=78019&highlight=disable+auto+device+lock
Its listed for TP2 but works for the Imagio as well.

i was able to disable stock lock, how can i get the lock button off the today screen? also, i installed a s2u2 program and it doesnt seem to work on my phone, where can i find a good slide to unlock?

weirdness on the slide lock

Greetings all.. After installing the Dusk theme, my phone no longer automatically locks when the screen times out. I have to hit the lock button. Any thoughts on this??

The stock lock feature is a part of TF3D. If you're not running TF3D as your Today screen the lock timeout won't function.

Its still marked as new...BOTH of my Imagio's did it...my first that I sent back and now this! Verizons tech support sucks and Iv'e looked through many forums...all I found were ppl with the same problem and no solutions.

I do like S2U2...I've had it on several of my devices but the Imagio is such a memory hog as it is I think S2U2 just adds a bit more bulk than I would prefer. I also tried speedbooster to help but that caused more problems so I had to uninstall.
Other then the text message tap option not working the device runs pretty well...a little sluggish at times but nothing a clean ram won't fix. Just wish I could find a way to fix it!

I had the same problem; I just set the Windows lock screen to lock for 24 hours and I'm not harassed by it.

This cab will disable the stock lock screen, just install and reboot...

UNlock screen ...?doesn't work anymore

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.

Message notification
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

What happened to my lockscreen?

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!

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:

found in this tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618989
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!
//Johan

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).

lock screen missing

hi all...
the lock screen on my hd2 has gone missing... pressing the red button directly brings me into the sense UI... any suggestions what went wrong?
thanks!

any help with above issue pls?

Have you recently installed then uninstalled a custom lockscreen? Look at my sticky (link in my sig) and towards the bottom of the first post you'll see some attached cabs. download the one that says Lockscreen HD2 original then install it. It should bring you back to normal.

hi there...
i did stumble upon your sticky and downloaded the lockscreen HD2 original cab file yesterday itself. I have soft reset the device after the installation but still there is no lock screen. Once the device boots up its directly in the Sense UI. Anything else I can do to fix OR might have done wrong?
Thanks for your input!
** Also, to answer your question, no i have not installed or uninstalled any custom lockscreen.. I am still in the learning stages of flashing a ROM and once I get comfortable with all the steps involved, I'll take the plunge but at this point the device is in stock condition except for the apps I have installed. Thanks

Thanks for the link - it kind of helped, which is to say - when i go to start menu and tap on "lock" it does lock the screen but after unlocking it when i press the red button to shut the display and again press it the lockscreen doesnt come up.. i'd hate to click twice before I press the red button only to make sure it doesnt come to life and call my aunt while in my pocket :-/
I tried reinstalling the cab from your sticky to the device (coz I wasnt sure where i had installed it previously) but the problem persists and No I havent installed any BSB or any other tweaks (atleast not intentionally)

So when you go to start , etc, then lock, after you unlock it you're presented with the lock screen Options. Are those set accordingly? Once set, it'll ask you to save changes, then click ok in top right corner.

Okay so here's what I do -
- tap on start menu
- bottom left soft key says "lock"
- tap on lock
- device lockscreen comes on
- now if i press the red button to switch off and then press it again, the lockscreen stays.
-but if i slide the lock on the lockscreen to reveal the sense UI, close the device and then switch it on again, it doesnt show me the lockscreen
does that help you help me?
thanks a ton for your patience!

Do you have cookies home tab/chteditor or bsb tweaks installed? If you do that might be causing the fail.

No I dont. I dont have any of those installed. I want to install the cookies but havent installed any mods yet. The only things I've installed on there are apps.
One of them being Resco Explorer which has a Task manager with it. Could that have made my screen disappear?

Listen...
Once you go to the start menu, select SETTINGS. Then tap the MENU soft key in the bottom right and select ALL SETTINGS. You should see LOCK in the top-right. Tap it, this locks your screen. Immediately unlock. You are now at the LOCKSCREEN OPTIONS page. Set accordingly. Save. Tap OK in top right. Done. Drink a beer.

I already tried this before.. Tapping on the Lock icon in the "ALL SETTINGS" does not lock the screen. Instead, it directly takes me to the password screen (maybe what you referred to as lockscreen options) where my first choice is a checkbox for "Prompt if phone unused for ___ mins and the other option is to choose a password.

Yeah that's the stuff. That's where you enable it. Check the box, set the password (pin).
Sorry for not realizing you had been there. If setting and saving those options doesn't work, not sure what to tell you.
Are you connected to an exchange server?
(you have to make sure after you hit the obvious SAVE button that pops up, you have to hit the OK button in the top right the screen.)
