Hi All, I needs some help!
I have a Vodafone HTC Magic, all working fine until this morning when it has decided that it does not want to lock the screen.
I have it all set to require a pattern to unlock but this morning I have come to use it and noticed it didn't ask for the pattern.
I checked the settings and they were not set to require a pattern, no idea what changed it? Anyway I set them again but despite this everytime I lock the phone now (basically just by pressing the end call button) any button will bring it back to life and it is not asking for the pattern so everytime it's in my pocket and a button gets pressed the phone comes on!
I haven't installed any new apps and have tried turning it off and taking out the battery but the screen locking just wont work.
EDIT: Also noticed that the home button doesn't do anything now either!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Replying to myself but thought I'd let anyone who was interested know that I sorted it. Not altogether happy though because it required a full factory reset!
Is my phone running Android or Windows??????

Anybody know if there's a way of keeping my Trinity in standby even when a text message comes through - I keep the thing in my pocket and if I don't look at it straight away after a text has come through, all kind of things happen - programs get launched, photos get taken, voice memos are created, just from it moving around in my pocket after un-standbying itself!??
Thanks
Lock the screen and when a text comes no programs will launch!
Nope...
Doesn't work...as soon as a text comes through, everything unlocks - is there anyway to stop this from automatically happening?
Thanks
flight mode

Not so on mine when it is locked it stayes locked! The screen will come on but the machine stays locked.
What mine is doing is when a text comes through, it seems to be causing the device to unlock, because the screen will take touch commands - I need to be able to lock the screen and get it to stay locked even when a text comes through. Any experts out there who might know how to achieve this?
Thanks
What is flight mode anyway?
OK, let me put this another way - is it possible to lock the screen until you press the standby button, so that nothing else unlocks it such as a text message or phonecall?
Thanks
I don't have this problem. My screen is set to go off after 1 minute. When the phone is in standby, all I get is a tone and the orange light flashes. The screen will not come on, unless I press the power button.
No input is accepted when in standby by the screen or any button except the power button - check your settings
I also have it set to auto-lock after 2 hours, so even if I get a text, and turn the screen on, then i need to put the password in before the screen unlocks
i use my m700 the same as you with no problems
RESOLVED!
Managed to put the device lock option on the 'Today' screen and this keeps the whole device locked (screen & all) no matter what happens, until you press the unlock option on the screen. Hooray!
very strange, i have just noticed that my phone lock screen is now gone.
when i hit the hang up/power off button instead of locking the screen it goes black but when i hit another button it comes right back to the main today screen but no lock screen. bit of a problem when it does in the pocket.
any help??
hi
start - settings - menu -all settings - lock -(untick prompt if phone unused for) ----follow instructions -- reboot
regards
op
hold down your power button and lock the screen using that, then when you put the phone back into sleep it will wake up locked.
You may have to do this everytime after a reboot. Eventually mine sorted itself out and I no longer have to do it
This happened to me after I installed the HTC SMS patch. It also makes it so you can only preview your emails and not go into it by selecting. Installed and hard reset twice thinking it was a fluke. Nope.
i got the lock screen back by going to Settings / Change background of lock screen, then softreset. don't know why it went missing and why i got it back doing this... but it worked.
Hello everyone,
I hate it when my phone decides to call people all by itself. I've since found that my pattern unlock no longer works. It first happened with the CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 and still happens now with 4.2.10.1.
I can disable the lock, edit a new pattern and re-enable it and it still chooses not to lock. Pressing the home key just brings me back to the home screen when the phone is asleep. It seems to remember the pattern as if I try and change it I need to get the old pattern right until it lets me make a change.
If anyone can help it will be much appreciated.
Hey all i installed BSB tweaks on my phone and i think i have disabled the lock feature on the phone when pushing the hangup button (hard button). To lock the phone i need to click start---then lock on the touch screen. bit of a pain as i would like to do it with the hard hangup button. when i push it instead the screen turns off, then if i push a button it wakes. can anybody help please. i tried searching the forums but couldnt find anything on it. cheers.
This happened to me too, but it seems like (at least that's how I recall it) the last thing I did before this happened is setting an alarm, turn off the phone (or maybe not, I am not sure) and when I dismissed the alarm, the "off" button started to just turn off the display isntead of locking the device

Hey i also had this problem afer installing BSB Tweaks, it hink all you have to do is when the phone it on hold the power key stil it comes up with the options to power off or lock and that....then simply select lock device and it should go back to normal!
Hi all,
I'm using Energy ROM with Cookie Home Tab, currently this one: Energy.BLACKSTONE.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.Classic.DinikGlass.Oct.08. I have tried several versions, but lock screen behavior is still the same...
When I put my device into standby mode, it goes locked automatically, that's what I want. But when I turn it on I want the unlock button to respond promptly, without any delay. It is working correctly after flashing my device, but after first restart I'm not able to use unlock button immediately and I need to wait a little bit (1 or 2 seconds) and then slide the button to unlock the device.
Has anybody discovered the same behavior? How to fix this and use unlock button immediately after the display goes on?
Thanks,
Vladino
