Hi all,
Do you know how to auto lock wm6.5 when you turn off the mobile? I speak about the "standard" lock screen not a software like S2U2.
Thanks in advance for the tweak.
Regards, Sylvain.
you can use smartlock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032
Or you can just check the Auto Lock in the Lock Settings. Then every time you boot the phone, turn on the screen, etc... it will prompt for your 4 digit pin and slide to unlock.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer but I would like to lock the phone without a digit pin. I don't know if there is a registry key for that or something I can change with Advanced Configuration Tools, HTCPedia, HD Tweak...
I'm sure I have seen an old post with this kind of trick but I can't find it that's why I need your help.
If you have another idea...
Thanks

Does exactly what you want! Remember to configure it after installing, under Start - Settings - System - Smart Lock.
You can"t do it by changing a registry key. A light application to auto-lock is LockDevice, link (and other applications links) here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
or simply use smartlock ... it's the easiest way to lock your device
I realise that this might not help you but, if you hold down the hang up button for 1 sec another menu appears and you can press lock. it also has other functions on the menu like cancelling data connections turning flight mode on etc.
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
Since the WM phone lock had failed me twice by "forgetting" my password and cost me 2 hard-resets, I've decided to give it up for the S2U2 password lock instead. However, is there a way I can keep the default lock slider screen while using the S2U2 PIN lock? I know there's a tweak to get rid of the default auto-lock but I actually want to keep it and disable the S2U2 one.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
hey m8s,
got a problem:
since i use cookies 1.7.1, the smallest timeout to choose in settings to turn off screen on battery is 1 minute.
i remember before i could choose smaller timeouts like 10/20/30 seconds.
the timeout to dim brightness down is 10secs.
i guess there mustbe a registry setting to change this, isnt it?
thanks in advance,
DN41
push....any help?

I have co0kie's home tab 1.7.1 as well but using S2U2 for locking screen.
The setting that you mentioned is in
Start > Settings > Sound & Display > Backlight
I can and had set it to 10 secs when "On Battery Power" for dimming and 1 min to "Turn off device when not in use".
PS: I found the registry setting after posting the above - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight
thanks. i'll try that.

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.

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.
