I'm using Azrael 3.1 and all of a sudden my slide lock screen is missing. I rely need this in case my phone rings and might answer when pulling phone out of my pocket.
as in you have no lockscreen? or its the stock android one that you slide it to the right?
you either need the vanilla lock screen fix or just redstart your phone.
It was the lock screen that you would slide down. But the reboot did the trick, it now is back. Thanks a ton.

Is it possible to have the regular slide to unlock followed by the pattern?
If I use a PIN or password, I get the slide to unlock screen first, but when I use a pattern, I lose the slide to unlock screen.
I really like being able to put my phone on vibrate on the unlock screen, but I want to use a pattern to unlock it.
Can I have both? Is it possible?
If you can't find a way to get the slide back on, you can still put your phone on vibrate from the lock screen. If you press and hold the power button on the lock screen you get the option for 'silent mode' it is the same as the slide though, on 2.2 it switches to vibrate.
In case anyone else was wanting this... you can do it with WidgetLocker...
I am currently using MyMetroLock, and SOMETIMES if I don't have a lock code on, and I slide the slider across the screen, it doesn't unlock my screen. Basically I can slide the slider back and forth the screen, and the screen won't unlock.
Anyway, got around that problem by turning the lock code on, and work's fine. BUT there has been problems with this lock screen, with the lock code ON. Basically I had my HTC to backup every Monday @ 4am (via SPB backup), and it soft resets. So this morning after waking up, I moved the slider on screen, and tapped in my phone lock code, and kept getting message saying lock code was incorrect. So had to HARD RESET
Now this isn't the first time this has happened, it's happened a FEW times, and have now decided to get rid of the MyMetroLock. So managed to uninstall MyMetroLock, but then I have no lock slider lock screen on my HTC. The lock screen I have is a basic version, tap unlock bottom left screen.
How do I get back the HTC version of the slider lock screen?
Ok, have figured out how to get the HTC slider lock scrren back, as that was in the LOCK menu.
However still having the same problem with the slider. A few times I am able to lock phone, and unlock using the slider. Then if I slide the slider across the screen, the phone won't unlock. The slider don't freeze, as I am able to slide it back and fore the screen, but the phone stays locked.
Any ideas? As I have had to revert to using the "windows classic" unlock display

if you are using the phone the proximity sensor will turn off the screen once it touches your face to prevent screen buttons from being pressed.
for some reason I turn turn off the Phone Connection (pretty much like airplane mode) while in the phone and it happens a lot, and it bothers, so I was wondering how to lock it to bypass this issue
You gotta make sure that you are on the dialer when you put it upto your face, anywhere else and the proximity sensor won't do anything. I have a terrible habit of hitting home, then opening a dozen programs while talking to someone cause my screens hittin my ear. Just make sure that you are on the call screen before moving it to your head and it should do the rest.
sounds good nuff, i'll try to keep that in habit, so used to android devices with a lock button lol, thanks guys
I just hit the notification bar an then hit lock at the bottom of the screen while talking on the phone, now I use Inesoft phone.
Since the ota update I can't turn on the pattern unlock without having the slide to unlock staying on also. It's either both or none. Any idea how to just have the pattern unlock? Thx!

I'm in the same boat as you and it is frickin annoying. Any help out there?
I cant turn off the slide lock at all. How are you turning it off?

Sorry fellas this is one of the annoyances with 2.2, no way around it. Its either nothing at all or the redunadant slide to unlock then enter pattern. Stupid and annoying I know. Hopefully they patch this with a future update.
I personally don't like having a screen lock at all. When I press the power button to bring my screen back I like it to go right to the home screen.
I know it increases the changes of 'butt dialing', etc, but I have very little issue with that.
At any rate, on 2.1 you could turn off all locks. When I moved to the Froyo leak, I lost the ability to turn off the slide to unlock screen.
Went into the market and found 'No Lock' from BoD. Simple little Toggle program that turns on/off the screen lock.
Doesn't seem to effect the situation with both slide & pattern locks, but does allow you to turn ALL the locks off (like I like )
Hope that helps.
This will also cause all buttons to wake up the phone. The screen lock is about my only gripe with 2.2.

Thanks for the replies. Guess we'll have to wait for a patch then. You can turn off both by going into the security menus btw.

It takes several swipes for the slide lock screen to work. My wife swipes it, it gets to the desktop and immediately goes back to the lock screen.
Other times it connects to the little circle but doesn't get to the desktop. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason on when it doesn't work.
Any thoughts? other than using another lock option.
