forgive my ignorance, but what is this "lock screen issue?"
its when, after you press the wake up button, that sliding the lock screen upwards
doesnt work. the wallpaper just jumps a bit but doesnt slide up.

My X (close) button must be sized wrong. When I try to click a button that is just below the X (for example the green arrow refresh button in PIE) the X button activates...arrgh
I am definitely CLICKING well below the X button.
I am trying to find a Registry Entry or something to make that X button's activation size smaller.
Please help!!!
It seems to me that your touch screen is miscalibrated. Try recalibrate it.

Thanks, but I have recalibrated a hundred times.
And to clarify, it is only the X button that gives me a problem - all other buttons activate correctly.
There has to be a way to "size" the button's activation area.
Please help!!

Seeing you have an HTC Touch, I'm guessing it's got something to do with the biotouch feature that makes the X easier to press.
Using a registry editor, try HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/FingerPressure.
The lower the value, the harder you have to press. Maybe this will help. Use at your own risk.

thanks but I changed that also without success... again, i dont believe that is the problem because it would be causing this same issue with other buttons. The X is only one that gives me a problem. I literally can be tapping well below it and it still recognizes the click - this is very frustrating when i type in a web address and try to click the green arrow to "enter"...
also, it is not a problem on my wife's touch, which is set up exaclt like mine

cool proggie, but does not help.
does anyone know how to resize the X button?
I've used X-Button on several devices and none have had that problem and have only activated on the icon itself. Never off of the icon.
Have you tried removing any screen protector and cleaning around the edge of the screen in that area. I've seen protectors/dust/lint etc caught in the edge that messes up the alignment just in that area.
If you want to verify if its the screen or the progam then you could disable the X-Button in its settings and then install another Task Manager program like iLauncher .. Does the other program exhibit the same flaw or does it work correctly. If it works fine then X-Button was actually causing a problem. If your still having the same problem then its most likely something causing a problem with the screen.
I would like to make my X button bigger if possible, so going back to the original poster, is ther any way to do it.

yes, bigger would be great
I swear I did not change any settings, but starting yesterday my Wing would just lock itself when the screen shuts off. Anyone know how to disable this? Thanks
*edit*
another odd thing I noticed - I don't have to unlock when the phone's charging. very weird.
what programs are you using? If you hold down the end key for a second, the phone will lock. Maybe you are accidentally bumping it when you put it in your pocket or case.
Sorry I wasn't more specific... I'm running ttran's OpenTouch 3.0. when I turn on the screen (using the power button) I need to press unlock twice to get to the main menu. It's annoying and I'd like to get rid of it. idk... I didn't change anything and it just randomly started happening yesterday. help?
I agree with you PharmacySchool...I'm running Ttran's 3.0 ROM myself and the "locked" feature pop-up on me this afternoon, out of the blue. It is very annoying and I'm not sure what caused it to start happening. Was getting an address out of the contacts list, X'ed out of contacts once finished, clicked the power button to turn the screen off...next time I went to use the phone, it magically was locked and has been since. A real pain to have to hit the unlock button twice just to use the phone. Have played around a little with it, but no success on correcting the problem yet.
Make sure you're not overclocking the phone. This can cause lock ups if the CPU overheats or if it doesn't get the required voltage or for other reasons.
The lock I'm referring to and I believe PharmacySchool...is like a "key lock". How some phones have an option to lock the keys so it can't accidentally call someone if numbers get pressed by mistake or while in your pants pockets. Nothing to do with the CPU or it being overheated. All you have to do is press the button to turn the screen light off and instantly turn it back on...it's locked. You have to hit the "unlock" button on the bottom left hand corner and the tap the unlock button on the screen. After doing such...you can once again use your phone.
I have the answer!!!

I'm pretty knew at this but I ran into the same problem and I figured out how to fix it. I don't know all the fancy wording so bare w/me. On your main screen touch and hold your battery symbol/ 6th option down says DeviceLock with a green check/ uncheck that **** and your good to go.
NOW someone PLEASEEEEE create a slide 2 "answer" not a slide 2 lock. I am so tired of my phone answering its self in my pocket when I don't want it to.
A_C 's S2U2 has a slide to answer feature..... You should check it out.

I've installed S2U2-0.2-WM5 with Touch It v2.3 and had problems. I think I remember it having a slide to answer but I also remember it answering with the green button as well. Maybe there was a way to disable it but I don't know how.
Does it work better Open Touch v3.0. because thats what I'm running now.
WOW... thats an OLD version.... that version should not have the slide to answer.....Current Version is 0.99p. It can be found in the development and hacking forum. You'll need to enable the S2A feature with the settings program...Man the apps come a LONG way since your version...We got animated gif support, Random still backgrounds, an exceptions list so voice dialers will work properly and internet browsers will stay alive... Just try the new version.

NICE!!!!! Works good so far. Now I won't be divorced! LOL
on my diamond i could disable the key lock and wake the device with a button press, is anything like that possible with the touch hd's capacitive buttons? it seems like a good solution as only fingers would be able to turn the device on. looked around and wasnt able to find a thread on the topic (other than shake to wake and the strange angling of the power button)
If I remember well it was Sensorlock or similar lock replacement that had an "issue" not being able to lock the hardware buttons. So I am 100% sure (as I tried it but dunno which one) that there is an alternative lock app that would fit your needs. Hopefully that "issue" is not fixed in the latest releases of the particular app

Not exactly what you are looking for, but have you tried LockMeLite, pocketshield or s2u2?
Those buttons are not capacitive imho. I can operate them with fingers/stylus/stick of wood ...
Anyways, would be nice to have such a thing.

Oops... I am using rss to read xda and thats why I didn't notice that this is a BLACKSTONE thread... Touch Pro has those hardkeys capacitive (to determine the position of finger +(!) two "real" buttons under the 4butoon field to "fulfill" the press command... dmn... it is morning. My english is stuck! Happy Eastern!
Hi, do you have some news about waking up the Legend with the trackball? It is a little bit annoying to wake it up with power button and afterwards unlock the phone sliding your finger down. I am still searching for this feature across the internet.
If you will have some news or find a solution, please post it.
Nobody?

That's what I'm looking for too. Or anything else. Tap the screen and then slide unlock, or get rid of the unlock slide at all and use just power button etc etc. This HTC lock/unlock solution is just the worst one.
Hello,
I'm interrested in that too !
It is annoying to use the power button...
Any news yet ?
Thanks
hi yeah use No lock app
It simply disables the lock screen. Press the unlock/menu button just once and the screen turns on immediately.
I wrote a config file to unlock with menu and home button..
Trackpad button is different from others buttons! Kernel doesn't assign a code to trackpad.. I'm taking a patch from desire's forum and i'm trying to apply it to legend kernel..
instead of power button plus swipe, you can do power button plus menu button
i'm interested in this
Yes it works!
Root is needed and a kernel compiled by myself needed too..
(i add those patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703539 )
No root necessary!
I just randomly came across this... Downloaded a free app called "No Lock" (BoD ) which obviously removes the lock from the screen, but it also enables any button including the track ball, volume keys, menu, search... (you get the point) to turn on the phone screen. Its up to you guys but since there is no hardware button for making calls I dont really see any problem with pocket dialing - just no lock Also, there are programs to solve that such as chompsms which lets you do pattern lock to use it...and there are others to cover all apps too. Hopefully this helps someone.
Sorry - Just saw a few posts down the same thing was posted. I guess I wont completely erase mine tho since I evplain it a bit more if there are noobs reading.
I dont have access to the market right now, can someone kind enough upload the APK for No Lock?
i really really need a way to wake up my legend with a key other than power as it is acting funny.
thanks a lot in advance...
Go here h**p://m.umnet.com/DownloadIt.aspx?__ufps=199075
If it is not working go here:

Thank you guys! I really appreciate it
But unfortunately this doesnt work for me... I think on Froyo there is no way around this. as my power button doesnt always work im going to downgrade to 2.1 and then use a custom froyo rom with this ability or maybe just stick with 2.1 for the time being...
a little update on froyo!
it seems that when you are charging your phone and using a program to disable sense keylock you can wake up your device. so I think on froyo they have prevented other keys to have power and be active....

thats interesting and i can confirm thats how my phone is working too...i just prefer using any key to wake up so my power button doesnt die quicker than it would normally
mine now doesn't have a bar going across or something to drag down like iphone/htc sense - the whole image moves instead? seems very weird and would like to change it if i can?
i can't see an option to though. would prefer an pure android type of unlock method (with a custom wallpaper though). can i do this without rooting? want to leave that for a week or 2 to get used to the phone 1st
ta all
Look on the market .

And look for what? I cant find anything useful, like stock lockscreen.
Anyway, i think you need an update.zip for things like that.

lock screen
just use google there are endless possibilities

i do have 'goto my lockscreen' or whatever it's called but a lot of these alternate apps have a major problem (or 2) in that they interfere with bluetooth and wake up on any button press.
that's not really useful
1. Get widgetlocker
2. Win!
3. ???

I use 'ripple lock' which is a honeycomb'esqe unlock screen.
It is good but relatively new so there is room for improvement. however, the developer updates it regularly!

Widgetlocker is very configureable and you can tell it to stop waking on certain button presses. I am currently using it here and it is pretty awesome.

Edite widget locker settings, if i'm not mistaking you can disable hardware buttons unlock
ta, but i already unticked everything i could under buttons and inputs but vol down e.g brings the unlock screen up when it should do nothing
think it's a limitation of android and can't really 'replace' the real lockscreen as such. maybe a version that requires root will do it, who knows.
at the very least this will cause battery rundown.
You are right. I missed your point. I was talking about unlocking. Device wakes up when you press the hardware buttons, but will not unlock with the settings i was talking about.
i missed that part of yours too.
