Ok this may be a dumb question but I have been searching for the answer and can not find it any where. I want to unlock and have the screen come on( comeout of standby) by sliding the keyboard out.
Like when you flip out the screen on the side kick.
I have the 2.17 custom rom by xelencin if that helps.
Thanks
I really want that feature too!
To add a same thing to your question, can i unlock the machine with one hand?
I have smartkey installed but everytime i try to unlock the screen, it said I have to press Unlock, and there is no way to press it with a softbutton, i have to either do it with a stylus or the keyboard....

and leave fingerprint smurk on the screen you mean?
The only problem I could see with sliding to turn on / unlock etc is that the magnetic catch on the standard case would then activate the switch on etc... I'm sure it would be possible to intercept this trigger in some way even when the OS is in standby but I can see issues with the device turning on when used with the standard case...
The screen doesn't rotate when you open the keyboard until aftr the device is turned on, which suggests to me that the position of he keyboard isn't monitored by the device when it's switched off. If this is the case ten it would be impossiblt to have the keyboard switch turn the device on.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yep, pretty sure sliding the keyboard out does not create a wakeup event. It is possible that something like MortSaver could be used to mimic this function - that's a program that turns off the screen and locks the buttons when you press a hotkey - i.e. it doesn't put the device into standby, it just kinda puts it into low power mode. I'm pretty sure that could be rewritten to turn the screen back on when the keyboard slides out. Perhaps if you plead with the author...

is there anyway of unlocking the kaiser when the keyboard is slid open. Why would you slide the keyboard open unless you were going use so it seems silly to keep it locked. Anyone got a fix
Slide to unlock!
There are some applications that do this. Don't know if there is any for the Kaiser.

Just Like the Slide phones.
The phone is locked i slide open the keyboard and it unlocks automatically rather than clicking unlock on screen. The reason i want to do this is i find it difficult to find the unlock key on screen as the screen is so dull until unlocked. So i want to slide it open slightly to unlock the phone and then slide it back and the phone is unlocked and goes back to portrait mode.
Even more preferable would be say to slide the phone half open and it would unlock the phone and the display mode would stay portaitb i.e. the display would only change to portrait when keyboard is fully out. I guess that would be much harder.
I too was thinking that this would be pretty cool. The phone already wakes up on slide, so it if unlocked itself too that would be superb.
using a registry program and goto
hklm/hardware/devicemap/keybd and create a new dword SlideWakeUp
0 = wakeup
1 = stay lock
update: wrong info, this is only for wakeup, it will not unlock.
kms
I agree this would be a cool app to have. Hopefully someone can integrate it with one of those locking apps out there, i.e. S2U etc...
Did anyone work this out ?
just put it to sleep without locking it then when it wakes up it wont be locked. its not what you want but it works the phone is still unlocked when it wakes
when i purchased my handset, sim free, from htc this feature came as default but i found it a nuisance. say you have your phone in your pocket, you place your hand in there and nudge the handset, it opens ever so slightly and it is unlocked. you then, unwittingly, call people in your contacts list and end up having changed the clock! slide 2 unlock is a fantastically versatile piece of software and keeps this from happening. plus you can operate the software slider even if you have fingers like hotdogs!

I know this thread is a bit old at this point but just in case anyone else stumbles up on this as i did I thought I would correct this post.
KMS had this backwards:
0 = stay lock
1 = wakup
Also when creating the dword select decimal. Not usre if that makes a difference or not but that's what I did and it worked for me. In my case I was actually looking to turn this off since my phone case has a magnet that would make the phone think the keyboard was opened as I put the phone away.
I used to do things when the display is off with my old PDA phone but I found that my new Diamond tried to change my way of life, it will disable all key function when the screen is off except the keys of vol and up and down key. Does anyone know how to enable all key press when the screen is off? Many thanks
So what exactly would you do with your device when the screen is turned off for which you'd like the hardware buttons to work? I would imagine the only thing would be to control the volume slider etc which is already active. It kinda defeats the purpose of turning the screen off then don't you think?
Start/Settings/System tab/Key lock (or something like that).
There you can enable keys.

I used to use my ASUS PDA phone as a book reader in the way that I read a book with my ears using text-to-speech software while I am walking or riding. surely when I don't need to read the screen, the screen can be turned off to save power. In addition, I used the hardware keys to go backward or forward one sentence to control the reading speed. The point is this diamond seems to be unable to response key function with the screen staying off. Letting user to customize the device is the reason I choose WM over other devices like iphone, but HTC seems to break this way.
Just got the diamond2 and am loving it. Came from the touch pro. Problem is I have been pocket dialing while its in my leather case. This is not good, as I am a real estate salesperson and it is calling some important people. Does anyone have a solution? BTW, I was using touch lock pro on the touch pro.
Thanks!
hi lorettaboy
you should lock the kets by holding the end call button for a few seconds and that should sort your problem out
I forget what it's called but there is this locking software that will completely lock the phone if you rotate it around the long axis one way and unlock if you do the same the other way.
I have been using throttle lock though. It is like the Android unlock screen where you draw patterns.
If u press the power on/off button for a second, the screen goes off.....isnt it ok to avoid your problem?

I think what may be happening is that the power button is being pressed while in the case unlocking the phone and keys. I had this happen before and still does sometimes when in my pocket.
4 characters: S2U2
Hoping wm6.5 features a lock that's as functional as S2U2.
I personally use http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/ It locks your phone when its closed, and you have different ways to 'wake' it. the 3 that I set it currently is:
1. if the phone is in the case (aka dark) it will not unlock even if phone is ringing, but once you remove it from the sleeve/pouch it will be unlocked.
2. If its night time and the above prevents you from unlocking in the night, shaking phone left to right once will unlock it
3. lastly if I take out stylus it will unlock.

Googled it, light sensor lock sounded interesting, tested it. Never got the light sensor unlock to work. Had to keep tapping the lock button for a varying number of times to unlock. But worse: got catch-22-ed twice within ten minutes.
The first time I got caught with the screen on, the 'turn off' dialog active, and Touch lock Pro active but not clickable because of the turn off dialog. No way to unlock the device and the power button was hijacked by Touch Lock Pro. Removed back cover, took out battery and restarted.
The second time the device locked with the screen off, and the power button couldn't turn the screen on again. No way to find out what happened this time. Removed back cover, took out battery and restarted.
This tool is possibly the least compatible tool with the TD2 you will ever find
Looking for a app that will wake/turn on screen when on sleep mode with a simple touch of the screen.
While Asleep>>>Touch Screen>>>Slide to Unlock
instead of
While Asleep>>>Back/Home or Menu Button>>>>Back/Home or Menu Button to Unlock
Anyone want this? or am I being picky?
its called Lock 2.0

Thanks Johnny,
I know of Lock 2.0 BUT it does NOT wake the screen by a simple touch of the screen.
I am using Hero and would like to keep the slide down lock it comes with.
What I would like is a app that will simply turn the screen on with a touch of the screen so I can then slide down to unlock.

isn't that kind of the point of the screen being off? i turn it off so that i'm not hitting "buttons" in my pocket like i did with other phones

Yes I understand that, but have you noticed that the screen ONLY responds to the HUMAN touch. You can NOT use a stylus or anything other than your finger/skin. So having it in your pocket with say keys or what not will not activate the screen.
don't think thats possible,
if it did, it would BE A HUGE BATTERY DRAINER.
good luck finding one =) , i think your over your mind with this app lol.

Really... I dont see it that way, but then again im not a app developer
I dont see the difference in having a app that will replace the need to hit a button(call,menu,home or back) with touching the screen.
I've had my phone in my pocket with the screen accidently on and have had all kinds of buttons pressed from inside my pocket, so I personally wouldn't have a use for that app. But if it works for you, I hope someone makes it for you.
The difference is you'd have to poll the touchscreen constantly for any input, where as the buttons don't us any power until they're pressed and the circuit is completed.
I'm not an app developer either. I'm also not retarded. Just because you don't know the inner workings of an operating system doesn't mean that you're allowed to ignore physics and common sense.

altho it only responds to human touch, it does detect touch through thin clothing, so if you put it in your pocket, it will still press the screen.
The system is set to stop polling the screen once its off. The system will not respond to touch while it is off. The support for this would have to be built into a ROM I believe
How to disable the home button when the screen is locked? The screen now activates when you touch the home button (finger reader) - later phone can be unlock by PIN or finger, but how to disable screen wake up by this butto?. I would like to block this possibility so that the screen wakes up only by pressing the on / off button.
Your P10 does this?
I tried it on my P10 a second ago. My phone only vibrates when I tap the homebutton with a finger or part of my skin which isn't getting recognized by the phone. But the screen stays of.
Which version are you on? I'm on VTR-L29C432B162
i have VTR-L29C432B151, and a wanne disable it, because it is very annoying.
Dude, you really don't understand how fingerprint scanner with its features works...
Workaround: just don't tap on that area

When you deactivate the fingerprint reader to unlock your device(settings/fingerprint/screen unlock), then when you tap on the reader, when the device is locked, the screen turns on.
I personally use fingerprint to unlock my device, but have another complain and that is, when i want to check my lock screen for missed calls/recieved messages i have to take the device to my hand and push the on/off button.
would be great to have double tap to wake function.

You misunderstand. I'm having this same grievance as it's so easy to knock the scanner when moving the phone that the next movement then swipes to unlock it and the next thing you know you're opening apps and tapping stuff.
I don't give two hoots about fingerprint scanners as they are inherently insecure so I will never use mine. I'd like the ability to disable it completely so it doesn't even act as a button.

You're using a password that you carry on your person at all times, is always visible, and can't be changed. If someone steals your phone they just need to grab your hand and put it on the reader to have full access.

Do you really think that someone would steal your phone and your hand just to unlock your device? Ok maybe if you are a bilionaire or presdent of the united states...
The same i can say about unlock pins or gestures ..they need just to put you under drugs and you will tell them the code.
Same as with iris scanner, they just need your phone and your eye .
Too paranoic in my opinion. There is way higher probability that you would die in car accident or airplane accident than someone stelas your phone and your hand . 99% of stolen phones are stolen beacuse of value of the device, not because someone would spend hours to get into your device.
But anyway it is your opinion ...

Indeed.
So, getting back on track, does anyone know a way to disable the fingerprint reader in its entirety? I suspect this may only be possible with a custom-ROM or at the very least root access.
Besides it makes no sense, I think there is no oficial way to completly deactivate the fingerprint reader.
