I have read here that when you hold down the end call key the screen should lock. Whenever I try this my screen flashes black but the handset never actually becomes locked. Anyone else experienced this? I've tried a hard reset and i've checked all the settings and cant understand why this is happening. For now I am using the on/off button to put it into hibernation but when you recieve a text in this mode the device fires up and therefore could start phoning people in my pocket if I dont notice it vibrate - not really ideal.
Any ideas on this would be much appreciated.

Same this is happening on mine
would be nice to know a solution
I'm assuming that you have checked in Settings that you have the End Key set up to lock the device when you hold it down? If you have then it sounds as though you have a PIN set up on the phone. There is a bug with the HD that means the End Key won't lock the phone if a PIN has been set up. You should find that if you remove the PIN then the End Key will lock the device.
I hope this helps. I find it rather annoying as I would like to have both features in place so I am hoping HTC eventually release a hotfix for this. Fingers crossed!

Thanks alot for the post mate. I wasnt aware of this bug. I tried changing the pin settings and it then worked. Thats a shame you cant get both. I guess ill just need to settle for a pin and pocket shield =)
hi, i'm having trouble getting my touch hd to lock the keypad. i've searched the forum for similar threads but cant find too much. I've followed the advice of people in other threads.
I have tried a soft reset, and a hard reset. Gone to settings changed the End Button properties. But still cant get it to lock. In the End Button i have set it to show a quick menu. On this when i click the Lock Keypad, there is a couple second delay, then the screen flashes (as if it has done something) but the keypad is still not locked.
Anyone help me out??

Not sure why your End button isn't working after you hold it down to lock.
However, you do have many other options for locking your device.
For example you can can use LockMeLite. Or use HD Tweak and set Autolock to enable so everytime your backlight goes off the device is automatically locked.
There is also various other options if you search a bit more
Seen this happen on Windows mobile phones before.
Do you happen to use a PIN code to unlock your phone?
If you do, this interferes with the screen lock facility.
Try disabling the PIN lock (Settings/Lock) and you will probably find it will then start to work.
Don't know of a way around this problem but someone else may..

Thanks for the advice. I will look into other applications to use on the phone.

Thanks. I had a pin code thing on the phone. Took that off and the keypad lock now works! Excllent advice. You sorted out my problem. The keypad lock issue was annoying me so much that I was considering returning the phone. Now I'll be keeping it!
ARGH! Any way to disable the Start Menu's "Lock" button or make it not appear?
I had an interesting problem that basically results in all data loss if it happens. On a particular Blue Angel I was working on, the touch screen somehow lost its calibration. In attempting to get to the calibration menu, the wonky screen somehow hit "Lock" on the bottom left corner of the Start Menu, and the device locked. Since the touchscreen became uncalibrated there was NO WAY for me to touch the tiny area and slide it properly. Thus I could not unlock the device even though LOCK is something that I NEVER EVER USE. I had to hard reset and lost all data. In WM2003, this would never have been a problem! I imagine if someone does use device lock, a screen decalibration incident would result in all data loss too which is unacceptable!
I tried the classic style lock screen which requires less precision but it still involves the need to touch a specific screen area in order to unlock it.
Is there any way to get rid of the Lock option in the Start Menu competely? A registry key perhaps? I want NOTHING to do with the device lock feature, it just seems to cause more problems and data loss than anything else. Any suggestions?
I believe that I have seen a post or two regarding the soft keys for the Start Menu. I'll see if I can find them.
On a side note, please refrain from opening new threads with questions. There is a Q&A thread at the top of this section for this kind of inquiries. I will transfer your question over there. Thanks.
anybody figure this out? i really would like to know
Lock sucks. If you have the phone locked, and get an incoming call - it doesn't unlock automatically, and there is no way to unlock it on the 'answer phone' screen.
So - you cannot get an incoming call if you use lock.
i dont even use it. i use pocketshield but i dont want the lock button to turn on PS, i want it either gone or to have it set up as a "back" button.
Has anybody managed to get rid of that damn button ? I have been looking around the forum for ages and still can't find a way to get rid of it.
Hello everyone,
I hate it when my phone decides to call people all by itself. I've since found that my pattern unlock no longer works. It first happened with the CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 and still happens now with 4.2.10.1.
I can disable the lock, edit a new pattern and re-enable it and it still chooses not to lock. Pressing the home key just brings me back to the home screen when the phone is asleep. It seems to remember the pattern as if I try and change it I need to get the old pattern right until it lets me make a change.
If anyone can help it will be much appreciated.
Hello,
These last days I had a lot of problems to align the screen of my Samsung Omni Addict player I900. The problem is that the touch screen is not centered anymore and it does not react when I press something on the screen.
To solve the problem I wanted to make a hard reset by using the following key combination "*2767*3855#".
My biggest problem is that, by mistake, I did lock the screen and keys of the phone and then when I press any key, my phone ask me to press the "Unlock" option on the screen, but I cannot do it as the touch screen does not react correctly.
I'm wondering if there is any possibility to edit the register to be able to unlock it.
Any other ideas are welcome. I'm blocked on this problem for two days now
Thanks in advance for your help,
Alain
Maybe I'm missing something but... can't you just soft reset it? I don't think it will boot up screen-locked....
Soft reset didn't help but after multiple tries I managed to do an hard reset which did solve the problem.
The problem I'm facing to now is that I cannot align the screen. As recommanded in different posts in this forum I have changed the CalibrationData value in the registery but still, after following the "align screen" procedure the screen does not react correctly. To be able to move forward I would like to be able to activate the mouse cursor. Do you know how could I activate it by changing a value in the registery?
If not I will create a new post with this question.
Thanks in advance.
Alain.
I'm sorry, haven't had an i900 in my hands for a while now, I don't remember which reg key you need
