Does naybody know how to set the default (probably in the registry) so the option under "Settings", "Buttons" and under the "Lock" tab can be permanently set to "When device is off" to where it defaults to "Lock all buttons except Power button" instead of the current setting of "Do not lock buttons"?
I use a Krusell case with a flap that folds down over the display with mine and when I button it or carry it in my pocket the buttons are constantly being activated.

Hey guys,
Was wondering if theres a button you can push to activate the password lock instead of having to wait for the timer to go. Thanks!

hold end call for a few seconds(red phone button)
ekw,
as I mentioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1780468 holding the end call button just locks the keys, but/and
- "any child who can read" is able to unlock it (unlock & *)
- this way of locking doesn't ask/require a password/PIN to unlock the device
I'm using the standard HTC Rom.. maybe your's is different?
Mine: HTC TyTN II (Dutch)
R: 1.27.12.11
G: 22.45.88.07H
D: 1.56.00.00
Use htc endkey then . Holding red phone button locks mine!!(maybe i changed it a long time ago and forgot )
ekw,
does 'HTC endkey' invokes the 'enter PIN code' screen to appear or just tap 'unlock' and then 'tap here to unlock' on the screen or use '*'?
i can confirm the using "HTC Endkey" to lock the device DOES NOT invoke the pin entry screen when you have the pin/password entry enabled. The only sure fire way around this is to set the pin entry/password "prompt if device is unused for" to 0 minutes; this way whenever the display is automatically OR manually turned off (through power button or device lock (assigned to a key etc)) when the phone is woken it will always ask for the pin to be entered.

I'm "happy" that you can confirm our 'problem'
Fact is.. I've put the screen to turn off after 2 minutes of non-activity, but when I'm for instance at home, the device shouldn't lock itself with a password when the screen is turned off.
So I'm trying to find a way to be able to enable/disable the device lock by for exemple tapping an icon on the today screen or hitting an assigned key.
Briefly said.. see attached screencapture..
instead of opening that screen (settings, lock, <entering the password>) and enable/disable the option.. I want that (!) enabling/disabling to be done by hitting an assigned key which edits a registry settings..
I do think that the option which you'll see in the screencapture is being remembered in the registry.
I'm willing to find the registry key and programming a 'tool' myself which will edit the registry key.. but I must do some searching (programming for xda).
I use the PTT remap and it works like a champ great little proggy.
Short press - toady screen long press HTC Action screen.
Though nice I'd like to have either "Backlight" or even "Full brightness backlight" on button 6. any chance to do this? I'm not afraid hacking the reg.
Yes, go into the Windows folder and find the app called Backlight.exe. make a shortcut to it and move that shortcut into the Windows > Start Menu > Programs folder. Then go to the buttons option and change the PTT button to fire up the Backlight shortcut. I don't use the regular Buttons option to do this with mine, I use AE Button Plus, but it should work the same way.
I almost went that far already BUT is there an option to set the default and/or adjust backlight setting to full brightness?
Here's a great utility I found yesterday after searching for "backlight" on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413137&highlight=backlight
The shortcut I use is \Program files\bl\bl02.exe 0 4 9 Press PTT once it is off, press again and it is about medium, press again and it's on full. You can change it to \Program files\bl\bl02.exe 1 9 and it would go from dim or bright each time you press it. I'm not sure how many arguments you can pass, but people have been able to use 5 with no troubles.
I was wondering is there a app that will lock my Diamond by clicking a shortcut?
I don't want S2u2 it's buggy imo. But i would just like to use the std. locking through a shortcut.
Pressing and holding the hang-up button just doesn't work for me.
If pressing and holding a button for 2 seconds is too hard for you then perhaps you should consider buying a slave to do it for you....
It isn't the fact that i don't wanna push it.
But after using it one week i already notice that the pad hangs to the hang-up button a heightdifference of a mm is already present.
I don't like that so i'd rather push a shortcut.
I press the power button briefly, not sure if that's lock, but it works for me.
chech the thread "Lock Screen or put into "standby"? Best set-up?", post 9 & 10.

You could do HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLock Enable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off (which is quite quick with the Diamond) the device will automatically lock
Ensure that Long Press End Key is set to lock your device (Start -> Settings -> System -> Long Press End Key -> Automatically execute the seleted action: Lock device.
Next open a registry editing program and navigate to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKPath and enter \windows\endkey.exe.
Then navigate to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKText and enter Lock (or whatever text you want to be displayed on the button).
Save the changes and soft-reset the device (or disable and re-enable HTC Touch Flow 3D) to implement the change.
Personally i've started using Sensor Lock which seems to work really well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422871
Locks and unlocks by rotating the screen. Has lots of nice options and locks the hardware buttons too which is good.
PocketShield looks pretty cool. It's around $11 if you decide to buy it.
Like many others, I've got an issue with my power button. Thankfully, I can use the volume buttons to turn the screen on. I can also use the power widget option 'go to sleep' to turn the display off.
However, I would like to map 'go to sleep' to either a long-press of a button or a shortcut. Any ideas how I can do that? If needed, I do own Tasker.
Quick Boot - available in the Market.
That only powers off or reboots. I just want to turn the screen off.
Not 100% sure what you are after, but i use "screen off and lock" after my power button broke. It puts the button in the notification pulldown if you like, rather than having to have a shortcut, but you can do that too if you like.

"Do Not Cover The Top Of The Screen" - "Touch Disable Mode" - Cant Use In Armband.
Hi guys,
When I try to use my P20 Pro in my running armband it comes up with the error-screen "Do Not Cover The Top Of The Screen". I can replicate this by covering the front cameras and trying to unlock the phone using a pattern.
A few weeks ago I installed the "Settings Database Editor" app from Google play, which allowed me to modify the setting "Touch Disable Mode" to "0".
This worked great, no more error-screen.
However, my phone updated last week to 8.1.0.130, and I get the error-screen again. The "Touch Disable Mode" option in "Settings Database Editor" has disappeared too.
Any ideas how to get around this?
It is really annoying having to set my music playing, set the Strava running app going, insert phone into armband, put armband on, then start running.
When it warns you, it also tells you touch to inactivate. Which means doing that should disable the alert, secondly it says something about press volume to adjust alert zone or something.

When it warns, it does say you can override this by pressing power and volume up simultaneously, however this is only to override it that once - it's not a permanent override. If the phone is in an armband, it's not possible to press power and volume up without taking it out of the armband.
There's no "Touch to Inactivate" option.
For me it tells me touch to inactivate, secondly it says to change alert zone press volume buttons or something alike it. It could be a bad translation they did idk

I think it may be a bad translation on your one... You can test it by waking up with side power button (not fingerprint) then cover the top sensors of the phone before unlocking it with a patter / pin.
