This lock is android system lock in all versions of android phones. It is way better then throttle lock because you cannot bypass it in any way, and has diagonal movements too. But throttlelock is very close to android system lock.
would also know, if it worked
maybe i try this one looks kind of funny

I tried throttle lock for a while. Works but seems a little buggy. Does not look as slick as android lock but good attempt and you can skin it too. Removed though as the bugs where getting on my nerves
i try throttle lock on my hd2..not that great...
Is there any way for me to disabled the lock screen? Its such a pain. Every time I hang up, lock screen. Turn on the screen, it times out, lock screen. 1.6 sucks....

Battery indicator pro also gives you that chance. It works most of the times.
PS. @spacegravity4me: You should have made a search before posting, dude, there´s a lot of threads about this.

Don't know what you're complaining about, for the past 2 days my lock screen has mysteriously vanished. Which means I can't put the phone in my pocket. Annoying, really.
I would do a factory reset but then I've got to do one for the 2.1 update anyway so I'm just going to wait it out
Lol..my lock screen turn out the reverse way,to the left now??

I'll say that the lock screen on the Xperia X10 is pretty terrible. It has caused me to miss calls because I couldn't manage to move the slider all the way. I'm not sure why it couldn't handle that, but it's quite annoying.

I get that too, but yeah, it's definitely an X10 problem, and not a 1.6 thing. Thankfully, SE is taking the update opportunity to change it, so hopefully it will be more responsive.

hi i have been have a very big problem with the multitouch on the HD2 running in android NAND the best way of showing this is using the app multitouch visualizer 2 which is free on the market its shows that when the touching two points on the screen when two axis become near each other from the vertical axis or the horizontal it will move both points that are being touched
is anyone working on this problem and if so are you working on more than 2 point multitouch for the HD2 android

You should post this in the right section Android Q&A
The multi touch is a known issue. There are debates on whether or not the HD2 supports more than two fingers also, but that is irrelevant right now, as two finger multi touch doesn't even work properly. However we also don't know if it is the HD2 that simply can't handle the two finger touch or is it the drivers.
Now iunno if anyone is actually even going to bother with the problem as the only times the problem is an annoyance, is during gaming, but that is, gaming with a joystick and etc. So I don't think devs are actually going to bother with a problem they don't even know whether its the device or software.
ah...
but since it only support two touch i think mine got a lil bit problem with 2 touch,
like it will get trouble when i am trying to put 2nd touch... like playing gt game, which im breaking it also react my steering that makes me unable to play it...
so it is cant be fix then?
thank for the information then
The hd2 can only support 2 touches, there is no problem with axis inversion , although when the two points are close to each other they lock and that is a hardware problem

No, can't be fixed. When the touch touches are near the same axis, they will both show touches on the same axis. Pretty sure it's a hardware problem. This is one of the big points I always tell people when they're trying to decide between HD2 and a native android phone, along with the fact the HD2 screen is only 56,000 colors compared to 4million a native device has.

I'm not about to dig up old threads about the touchscreen driver development or irc logs... any of the devs that have worked on drivers for the touchscreen have said this. I remember seeing cotulla discussing it in irc sometime in the last few months. Touchscreen is not going to get any better than it is right now... there has been a lot of work on it over the last year and a half.
i resume this thread to notice that isn't an android issue... it happend on windows mobile also.. and is irritating..

The Hd2 is single-touch and pinch-to-zoom.
It was never intended to have multitouch or android.
well... let this multitouch be for pinch to zoom only but this issue is disturbing while normal tapping on the keyboard.... You tap next letter of your word and You don't release the previous letter so this "next" letter won't be recieved. The touch runs between my fingers, look :

It is not single touch, it dual touch not true multitouch axis inversion is happening in the video as they are putting the fingers to code to the edge of the screen so its messing up.

Is the keyboard multi-touch? Many keyboards aren't and can only receive a single input at a time so even if you type really quickly, you need to make sure you left one finger completely off the screen before typing the next. I can type pretty fast using the HTC_IME that comes with multi-touch. I mean, you can't hit "shift+a" to get a capital "A" but you can hit a key before letting go of another key and the keyboard will still pick up the correct keystrokes most of the time.

Dual touch mode allows a two sensor system to track the absolute location of two simultaneous events provided that they are located in different regions of the screen.
What you mean is Dual Control or Gesture Input aka pinch-to-zoom.

When I was using MDJ_FroYo_Revolution_v._2.1_NAND, i think, Multitouch was doing well. There were no such thing like multitouch problem, even while crossing the fingers. Now I'm using BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER 2.3.3_V10 and I have problem with multitouch. I'm 100% sure that I was using some ROM with well working multitouch. Maybe someone should check it?
Sorry for poor English...
Edit: I was not MDJ_FroYo_Revolution_v._2.1_NAND. When i figure out, I will make a video for a prove.
where is the proof?

Does anyone has any idea regarding how the double tap to lock and wake works?
Need a port to other devices
I highly doubt it works on rom or device other than the g2 stock rom at this point.
Maybe scrosler knows.
I believe it is part of the launcher.... I thought I read some where that if you installed 3rd party launcher you lost that function...

nope its in the kernel, the launcher just allows you to do it anywhere on the homescreen if you are on a 3rd party launcher you just have to tap the status bar

Or download "Lock Screen" from the play store and make a double tap gesture with nova launcher that opens the activity of that app. That's what I did and I have the double tap to lock working. The unlock works regardless of launcher.

I attempted to write an app to do this a long time ago. If its app-based like that, it needs to keep at least a partial wakelock on the phone to "listen" for the knock knock.
My guess is, on a multi-core CPU like the G2 has, they are turning off all but one core and putting that one core in the lowest MHz it will run, just to "listen" for the knock knock. Not app-based, but kernel based (like PGM). Clearly this doesnt use very much battery at all, as judged by the stellar battery life people have been reporting and that Ive seen on my own G2.

hi
I thought it worked off a motion sensor.. unlike the HTC One kernels and franciscofranco's mako kernel, which use the touchscreen. I can't remember where I read it but I think it uses motion sensors for this, gyro or something
I don';t think it uses the main CPU cores, it uses another ultra low power one to work. This is why these features drain so much on the One, because it doesn't have the extra things that the G2 and MotoX have
no idea what I am doing in this forum but I thought I'd answer it
Edit:
The software platform is Android 4.2.2, and atop that is LG’s skin. LG has added a bunch of new features to its skinned Android experience, although its visual themeing remains essentially unchanged. Double tap to turn on and off uses the built in accelerometer to wake the phone up or turn it off – you just double tap quickly on the device when it’s in an off state to turn it on, and double tap quickly on a blank part of the display or status bar to turn it off. I don’t have a problem getting my index finger to the raised power button, but this is obviously an accommodation just in case that’s difficult.

I lose about 1% battery every 3-4 hours when idle the whole time so while it may consume more battery the amount lost doesn't matter to me since idle drain is still hardly anything.
With the screen off and in the right light I can see hundreds of small grid like squares. I always assumed that they had something to do with the knock on feature.

You know pretty much every super LCD screen has them, it's just to what degree they show

I'm pretty sure it's NOT the accelerometer.
I tried it, and it even works with the slightest touch I can do. I hardly touched it at all. Can't believe, that there was any motion.
Furthermore it doesn't work when knocking with my fingernail or any other thing.
So I think, it really works by touch-recognition by the display.

you are right. it's definitely the touch screen waiting for the touches.
just try it on the edges on the screen - still works. next to the edges - doesn't work.
There's this post that I read somewhere from HardwareZone:
Not too sure if this is a solution, my imagination or simply I have gotten perfect overnight on using the KnockON feature but the insensitivity issue, that many and myself, have been facing is now gone - since last night, after I performed the following tests on my G2. (Yes, thses are merely TESTS, so wasn't expecting much..)
I got my set on the 26/9/13 and until last night this function got rather spot-on accurate and is not behaving in that erratic manner any more - at least for me. Here are the steps :
First Test
- Key in 3845#*802# on your phone dial.
- HW Device Test > Touch Test > Multi Touch Test
At this point, drag your finger across the screen from corner-to-corner and when your done. Press Volume-Up key once to exit.
Second Test
- From the same menu select "Touch Sensing Test 7*12"
- Tap in every box as many times as you want and on the red text as well at the bottom of the screen.
- Press Volume-Up Once to see result
- Press Volume-up again to Exit
- Finally, to exit the whole menu just use "return" soft key.
Once again, I like to highlight as strange as it may sound the above method has worked for me. And if not, then something definitely has. Do take note, Rockwell screen protector is still on and lastly, please do share your findings.

I tried it and strangely this seems to work. I can't tell if it's placebo but now I'm a hell lot more confident that my phone will wake up at the first pair of knocks.
Also, this is definitely true for me:
The knock on is 100% effective the first try when my phone is lying flat on my desk OR vertical on a car mount. In fact, these are the only 2 instances where I actually use KnockON. When I hold my phone, I naturally use the power button. Yes, I still do have probs with knockON when I use my thumb to wake it up while holding the phone.
3845#*802# did nothing for me. No menu.
There are apk for the knock on feature. But I'm sure there are libs and services involved

Could be the motion sensor. Try doing the double tap while holding the phone in your hand... It become completely unreliable. BUT, it's 100% reliable for me while the phone is laying on a flat surface.

OK...yesterday I opened a legitimate email from paypal. I got a really quick glimpse of an eye on the screen. Just like the big brother eye off the TV. Small, about 1cm across. I tried to make it show again and it didnt so i guessed i imagined it. Tonight i opened another email and it appeared again. I scrolled down and the screen scrolled back up to the top so the overscroll was glowing at the top. I scrolled it back down and it scrolled up again. The overscroll stayed like it was being held in place. I opened anothr email...same sender and it did the same. Now I was like WTF so I put it in flight mode. I was gonna immediately obliterate the system but I waited. First....anyone seen anything remotely similar and second anyone have any ideas about how the hell I find what it is before I clean the system so I can make people aware of it. Any info appreciated...had no idea how to start googling it and I promise I am not insane! Oh and AVG reports clean
