You mean the 'lock' icon placed right in the middle-bottom of the lockscreen?
If it's so, that is never supposed to happen. That icon is there to swipe up and unlock the screen.
Please let me know if I understood wrong.

yes, you are right. I mean that icon, and i think i did not descripted exactly.
if i turn on the "smart lock", and press the power button. The lockscreen might be lighted,and the 'lock' icon should be a "open lock", i can go to the main-screen without the password. Then i can click the 'lock' icon to make it closed, and need the password to go to the main-screen.
Do i descripted clear?

Yes, I just gave a try to Smart Lock, that I have never used before. Did you try resetting Smart Lock? May be try it once, and let me know.
By resetting, I mean to add your desired trusted attributes again, and also the PIN/Password/Pattern lock.

If nothing works, you can always reset your device back to stock, and try again. Sorry, I do not have any more ideas on how to solve this.
EDIT: Just a wild guess, remove the lock from PIN/Pattern/Password, back to Swipe or None, and then again set the lock. See if this helps.

Is there anyway to unlock all buttons?

I remember I used to be able to press any buttons to turn on the Dopod. it used to be under settings -> Buttons -> lock tabs.
but now that it's disappeared, is there any other work around?
Thanks
Maybe this way?
Start, Settings, click the System tab, then click on Key Lock. Select "Do not lock buttons"? Let me know if this is not what you were looking for.

If you mean you cannot lock the device long pressing the end button, yes, it is a known issue. See this thread

What happened to my lockscreen?

I was adjusting my e-mail settings when the phone frooze. Had to remove battery to restart.
But after that I got stuck with this lockscreen.
Softreset didden't work. Tryed to switch between windows standard and windows classic lockscreen but nothing.
How do I get "The Slider" back?
(I have no lockscreen mods installed)

Go to the settings tab, Menu, All Settings, Lock and go to the Display tab. Make sure you've got Windows Default selected, not Windows Classic. Click OK and it'll ask you to restard. You should now have the lockscreen you want back.
Hope this helps
Edit:
Sorry - I just noticed your device isn't in English. I hope you can translate my instruction on your device okay.
Sorry, I guess "Standard Windows" is Swedish for "Default Windows" so i have already tryed that.
I have also tryed it with HTC sense off but still no change.
Still in need of help!

Okay - sorry mate. That's me done then.
Thank's for trying!
So what do you think, will a hard reset do the trick?

I reckon that would do it, yeah, but it seems overkill doesn't it. I'd hang fire for now and see if anyone on here comes up with a better solution. At least the phone is locking! It could be worse.

when i sekect lock from all settings, theres only setting password and hint. nothing else. my lockscreen wont automatic lock wen my screen is off.
I found that after a soft reset my Lock screen would not appear after the phone had gone to sleep (or I'd turned the screen off manually).
I solve it by .......
After a soft re-set or having turned the phone off;
go to Start
press 'Lock' at the bottom left of the screen
The lock screen now appears and then acts normally - until the next soft reset when I simply repeat the above
Nop!
Allready tryed that, still the grey lockscreen...

Lost Screen lock
Here is the one simple solution that works for me:
When I installed some cab. files I have lost the screen lock.
Longpress the end/power button. this will bring out options to power off, Lock device, set vibrate...
Simply press "Lock device".
Now you have a screen lock that keeps working.
Well I've tryed that but It will still use that grey thing...
//Johan
Some people don't really read that well, do they?
argh
i have to always manually set the lock device. it wont automatically do it.
i recently installed pocketshield and that messed it up so i dont think everyone deleted properly?
should i use SKTools or a software to delete unused registries? or is it cab files?
YEEEES!
I figured somehow the default windows lockscreen file must have got corrupted...?
So I installed this cab:

found in this tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618989
As a last attempt before a hard reset. And thank god it did the trick!
Thank you all for your help, without this forum my HTC would have ended up in the bin the day after I bought it!

still didnt work. just still acting the same.
i have the same problem after i have installed puremind's 1cab4all_20shcutsv1.3No.Net3.5.
i tried the above suggestion but didnt work, i have to put the lock device to make it work, but i dont want to enter the password everytime to go to homescreen.
Anyone have the same problem?
1. This happens a few times on my HD2, make sure you have BSB Tweak installed. There is an AutoLock switch on there. Make sure that is set to On (which it will be default).
2. Then on the odd occasion when the device does not lock, hold the power button to get the Quick List and click Lock Device, now it will be ok - till the next time it happens (mine usually after a few days in which case repeat step 2).

Anyone managed to get a lock app to work without the standard lock aswell

untap "prevent wake up" in lockbot settings and you don't get double lockscreen, even if you use menu key to wake up the phone. but if you use a lock pattern, it will be disabled too. you can use the lock pattern of lockbot by selecting it under "security" in lockbot options.

This worked for the first few unlocks then started getting double again
i was talking with the Lockbot Dev 2 months ago about the issue with double lock on the X10, is answer was make sure your SD card is in the phone. Unfortunatly that was the last bit of support i got from him, i tried to get a refund and he also ignores my request for that too.
ive tried both and had the same problem, i found lock 2.0 to be a bit better, if i enable the "disable stock lock screen" it works for a while but the stock lock does still come back. i have no idea what is causing it and no one seems to care too much. ive tried talking to the lock 2.0 dev, and he does look into it but he'll start to get somewhere and gets into a vicious circle of asking me what device i have, even after if told him 5000 times, and tells me to "reboot" the phone to fix it. "sigh"
it really bugs me because i hate the stock lock, but doesnt make sense to have 2 popping up :s i was hoping with root access we could just remove the stock slider but it must be built right into the kernel?

it works for me since 5 days now without problems. maybe you got some other lock app active (like NoLock for example)?
I tried lockbot but the stock screen-lock came back from time to time. Yes, I use no lock. I didnt verify the lockbot performance without no lock because no lock was so useful and gave me a lot of conveniences. I wont give up no lock to use lockbot.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i use flyscreen with no lock it works perfect
Bug number 2
If you have set Lockbot on, it will create a conflict with "Flight Mode"
You can´t come back from "Flight Mode" outside and get Lockbot off.

lock screen missing

hi all...
the lock screen on my hd2 has gone missing... pressing the red button directly brings me into the sense UI... any suggestions what went wrong?
thanks!
any help with above issue pls?
Have you recently installed then uninstalled a custom lockscreen? Look at my sticky (link in my sig) and towards the bottom of the first post you'll see some attached cabs. download the one that says Lockscreen HD2 original then install it. It should bring you back to normal.

hi there...
i did stumble upon your sticky and downloaded the lockscreen HD2 original cab file yesterday itself. I have soft reset the device after the installation but still there is no lock screen. Once the device boots up its directly in the Sense UI. Anything else I can do to fix OR might have done wrong?
Thanks for your input!
** Also, to answer your question, no i have not installed or uninstalled any custom lockscreen.. I am still in the learning stages of flashing a ROM and once I get comfortable with all the steps involved, I'll take the plunge but at this point the device is in stock condition except for the apps I have installed. Thanks

Thanks for the link - it kind of helped, which is to say - when i go to start menu and tap on "lock" it does lock the screen but after unlocking it when i press the red button to shut the display and again press it the lockscreen doesnt come up.. i'd hate to click twice before I press the red button only to make sure it doesnt come to life and call my aunt while in my pocket :-/
I tried reinstalling the cab from your sticky to the device (coz I wasnt sure where i had installed it previously) but the problem persists and No I havent installed any BSB or any other tweaks (atleast not intentionally)
So when you go to start , etc, then lock, after you unlock it you're presented with the lock screen Options. Are those set accordingly? Once set, it'll ask you to save changes, then click ok in top right corner.

Okay so here's what I do -
- tap on start menu
- bottom left soft key says "lock"
- tap on lock
- device lockscreen comes on
- now if i press the red button to switch off and then press it again, the lockscreen stays.
-but if i slide the lock on the lockscreen to reveal the sense UI, close the device and then switch it on again, it doesnt show me the lockscreen
does that help you help me?
thanks a ton for your patience!

Do you have cookies home tab/chteditor or bsb tweaks installed? If you do that might be causing the fail.

No I dont. I dont have any of those installed. I want to install the cookies but havent installed any mods yet. The only things I've installed on there are apps.
One of them being Resco Explorer which has a Task manager with it. Could that have made my screen disappear?

Listen...
Once you go to the start menu, select SETTINGS. Then tap the MENU soft key in the bottom right and select ALL SETTINGS. You should see LOCK in the top-right. Tap it, this locks your screen. Immediately unlock. You are now at the LOCKSCREEN OPTIONS page. Set accordingly. Save. Tap OK in top right. Done. Drink a beer.

I already tried this before.. Tapping on the Lock icon in the "ALL SETTINGS" does not lock the screen. Instead, it directly takes me to the password screen (maybe what you referred to as lockscreen options) where my first choice is a checkbox for "Prompt if phone unused for ___ mins and the other option is to choose a password.
Yeah that's the stuff. That's where you enable it. Check the box, set the password (pin).
Sorry for not realizing you had been there. If setting and saving those options doesn't work, not sure what to tell you.
Are you connected to an exchange server?
(you have to make sure after you hit the obvious SAVE button that pops up, you have to hit the OK button in the top right the screen.)
