Hi Mate,
I have it just for 3 days now , but I wanted to ask you, how can I lock the keypad when I put it in my pocket to avoid dialing by itself by accident ?

i'm using the regular wi5 lock button at the today screen but there are some programs that allows you to choose a hard button and use it as a lock
but im looking for an autolock

Well, since its going into your pocket and you won't need the screen, can't you just hit the power button once to make it go into standby mode. Two benefits, you save battery, and lock the phone (only a press of the power key unlocks it again). In standby, you will still receive phone calls and get email (if its set to poll every XX mnutes, dunno about push email). The only downside to using the power button as a keylock is if you're using the wizard as mp3 player or something becuase standby causes the app to stop.
There's a cab out there that allows you to map the key lock to a button, I forgot what thread its in. I've got keylock mapped to the voice record button (hold). It works well.

Thanks Edyhan, I thought that this Lock is to lock the PPC and give it a password so that nobody can use it without knowing the Password well I am very new with this Pocket PCs, I am still figuring out the beauty.
KINetics, thanks for your reply, I know about the Power button, but it can b pushed - accidently - too then your PPC gonna do some jobs while it is in your Pocket, this is why Locking the buttons is the best solution.
But I really don't need any other apps just to lock the keys, as long as there is a Lock already in the WM5.
I wish the Wizard owners answer the main question of the Thread Starter

I got the tmo mda the day it was available in the US and I like it a lot more now than when I got it. I can't say my keyboard has come loose but it does seem to close with less than a snap now and then. Still, it seems to work fine, as does the phone, so I'm not concerned.
The custom 2.17 rom available on this site seems to work wonders for battery life. When using the stock tmo rom, battery life was a couple days. With the 2.17 rom, it takes 3 days to hit 50%. Your mileage may vary, of course, but it added a couple extra days for me. I've since gotten a battery that's about twice as large (needs a custom backplate for the phone) and it seems to last forever but I haven't measured the time.
Finally, I agree with the above. I hit the power button before putting it in my pocket and it's never once dialed on it's own. I also discovered the secret of hitting the power button after I call or answer the phone. That prevents random screen frenzy from your face as you talk.
I had a Blue Angel phone before the mda and I really liked that phone a lot. It had a larger screen and was much faster but...the mda had WM5 and the BA was 2003SE. Eventually I learned that there's a different "rhythm" to using the mda and once I found it, I stopped overclocking and now I think it's an awesome phone.

For locking the Wizard I normally use a combination of both lock and standby, ty hat way if the power button does get pressed in pocket (which has happened on a couple of occasion) the screen comes on but the pad is still locked.
I've owned mine since January and have been more than happy with it, sure its bigger than my old Orange C500 but it does way more too! only got around to hard reset it the other day to wipe off the T Mobile due to having so much installed on it, tis faster now tho. Overall a great phone, even my stylis still stays in tho it doesn't extend when u pull it out anymore.

Screen is ON but stay black when I unlock the phone

Hi,
I just bought a HTC HD 2, French and unlocked version.
I have a big issue with my phone: The device start, I use it 10 Minutes then lock it (stand by).
When I push the wake up button, the phone seem to work but the sreen turn ON and stay Black... By saying the screen is ON, I talking about the backlight
I tried a Hrad reset several times but the screen is black at boot.
Can this black screen issue is caused by a software problem? Beacuse the screen work well for some minutes...
Thanks for your answers

If there isn't even a boot loader splash screen i would say its something major. If you have only just got it then i would take it back or have you flashed a custom rom or used goldcard to flash a different stock rom. If you haven't I would take it back.

I have had my HD2 for about three weeks now. It came with 1.43, but have later on upgraded to 1.48 and now Im running 1.61. Two days ago I started to encounter a really annoying problem.
When I wake up the screen and slide the button the home screen appear but after one second, the screen turns off back to lock. Then I can unlock again, and again one second later the screen is off and back to lock. This often continues until I remove the battery.
Have you experienced the same problem?

Optiknerd, Thanks for your answer. I called UPS on 24 December, they're coming today.
I was just hopping there was a solution...'cause it's hard to quit this phone....
I never installed a modified ROM. The firt black screen apaired 10min after my first use. Even at boot I can't see anything and I have to Push ON/OFF more than 20 times to wake the screen up....

Did you install any software when the phone was working okay?
Also, when you get the black screen, hold down the power button and see if you get anything. I've had mine go black screen on me and that brought up the quick list. I selected lock and it worked fine after that.

See this please http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606093, let me know if you have the same problem as me,cuz I havefigured out a solution and it works for me at least 2 days.

It's a known issue. Sometimes a long press of the end-call button will bring up the display, but that's rare. It normally needs a soft-reset/battery out to reboot the phone.
It's obviously a software issue as the buttons light up when you press them, then turn off when they time-out, and then light up when pressed again, so the OS is still running happily in the background.

during my search and tries for applications and tweaks for the device, i remember i saw something that assign a display wake up on the long end press, and something that wake up on shaking the device, is there any confirmation if these tools solve this issue?

Nope - try them. You could be the hero that confirms it

Today was my turn to have that issue. Unfortunately :-(
I 've been looking for an answer, but there is no solution. Just a thread that talk about that the issue is caused by SD-card, corrupt files, formatting issue...
Please, do we have any solution for that issue? it started this morning and I have it 4 times today.

hmm. happened to me today. don't know what caused it.

I had this problem today as well for the first time. I thought it was to do with having the animated weather wallpaper and having rain. Today for the first time I had it predicting rain and my Leo kept saying "Loading touch sense" when coming out of lock. It's never done that before.
Then after an hour of lock it refused to wake, despite the physical keys lighting up.

I had this problem also today as well for the first time! But twice, so basically the first time and second time
First time phone wouldn't go on, touching the screen, hitting the spot where the lockslider was (in the dark), pressing short or pressing long on hard-buttons. The phone didn't respond at all.
Second time the hard-keys would light up, but phone refused to wake.

I had this problem.
Solution: Download an app called MemMaid and use the settings in post #75:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596484&highlight=settings&page=8

For me it was the Disable Auto Device Lock.cab (in combination with windows exchange server) that caused the frequent HD2-doesn't-wake-up problem.
I uninstalled it and it is working fine again.
Have a look here, the exact same problem was discussed :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5386344#post5386344

Aaargh. Just happened to me again. So that's twice today.Locked it with Opera open. Went to toilet. Came back and Leo wouldn't come back. Again the physical keys were lighting, but the screen stayed dark.
I'm running standard ROM that came with phone, 1.48.405.2 and then official hot fixes on top. Only using apps that came with the phone too.
Not done any tweaking besides cosmetic through the standard phone options.

guys let's try to focus here, we all have/had this issue. So let's try to remember what's the last things we dis so we can find the common cause so we can identify it.
Well I said in my post above, I read (don't remember where! ) that the problem is related to the microSD card.
Was logical for me, because I kept copying, deleting, copying tow large files large files in parallel, I mean I stressed my microSD. By the way it's the one provided by HD2 with the copilot in it.
What I've done, is that removed the microSD for a while and there were no freeing again for like 4 hours, and it was with screen off for like 1 hour and half, come back from the fitness, and it's ok.
Once back home, I backed up all my MicroSD to my computer, then formatted it with HD2. After that I copied back all my data to my micrSD. So far so good.
hint: what's the official SD Card Storage Cards hotfix from HTC for?

HTC HD2 Unlock problems

Hi,
I have owned my HTC HD2 for about 3 months now. I have had a problem since i first got it which is really bugging me. Sometimes when the phone locks, i am unable to unlock it with the slider. The slider gets to about half way across the screen and then freezes. If i leave it for a few minutes it goes back to a locked position agian and when i attempt to slide the slider across, it freezes.
The only thing which gives me access to my phone again is to perform a hard reset by removing the battery.
Any ideas? The phone is on UK Vodafone and is running the latest firmware (v.1.72)

I don't have an answer, its likely to be sense trying to load something and hanging.there are loads of threads about unlock problems, all different, however I wanted to help you avoid confusion by pointing out that removing the battery is a soft reset, not a hard reset.
I'd start by removing some apps, see if it changes the behavior, then re add til it happens

i've the same issue. but not removing battery, just press little red restard button uder battery cover. i think it happens when i enable rotation of today screen or because of proximatelyscreenoff program bug. after removing today from rotation of bsd tweek i have 1-2 restarts for 2 weeks.

I had the same thing sometimes, but never happened with the latest rom I am using, and I am pretty much installing the same apps over and over after each flash...

You aren't by chance running the facebook application?
Leaving that open and locking your phone will result in you not being able to unlock your phone

I wonder if this problem has anything to do with power supply; I sometimes can't unlock the screen either and a few moments ago my battery had run out and when putting it on AC I wasn't able to unlock it. When it had charged a bit there were no problems unlocking it.

HD2 screen unlock probblem
Hi All,
I have put my screen unlock code as 0000 and set as 5 mins to lock the phone.
But that is becoming a headache now.
Sometime the phone behaves very unusual, it doesn't takes my code "0000", no option rather to reset the phone or remove battery and restart.
After the reset the phone works with my code (0000) but don't know when the same problem starts again.
Need Help..
Anyone solved this problem?

In the Att Tilt2 the power button was on Top & could close the Screen while talking on the phone
How do we do that in the HD2 cos its Off button is on the Red Call Shut button
Anyone

best regards,
hanny

HD2 Hard Locked
Okay...so maybe Facebook is locking my HD2. It's LOCKED I'm recharging, I've attemted a soft restart, hard restart and every other restart out there...nothing is working. I even tried pushing the white button below the battery case and holding the volume up and down...I actually thought that it began to do a hard restart. It did begin but then it got stuck at the "swipe" demo. It is definitely stuck.
HELP!!!!

Phone suddenly freezes, not responsive, cant unlock?

Hope someone can help on this one.
In the last 3 weeks I have had events where the phone becomes non-responsive. What I mean is that it will not unlock by finger sensor, and the lock screen will not slide up to enter pin. The phone shows at the bottom of the lock screen the 3 icons for locked, camera and something else but, can not get it to swipe. If i reboot sometimes it does and sometimes it does not solve the problem. If it does it, I have to power off the phone, wait a few seconds and power back on. Other times the phone gets hung up on the volume level screen will trying to adjust up or down but, not movement and locks the screen and becomes non-responsive. Also, during this time, it tends for the phone to get warm. Other times if I leave the phone alone for a few minutes, it tends to settle down and fix itself?????? I never get an "android stop working" like message either.
The phone is stock unrooted from day one from BB but, now I am over 15 days and can not return or exchanged. Went by BB today since I am Elite Silver member and see what they could do. They suggested have the geek squad look at it but, I do not trust those guys to even power my phone off. The other option they mentioned was to send back to Huawei.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Elite status extends your return window to 30 days. Tell them you want a new unit.
