Hi, I always have to unlock my device after i already sliced to unlock,
I have to puch at the bottem (there stands unlock(Entsprerren) and then I have to hit the same butten in the middle of the screen again.
I know this can be disabled, I just dont find it anymore.
Thx Michel
i can't find it on my phone right now for some reason, but its Device Lock under settings somewhere, but i don't have that option anymore. currently, i can only find it as an option for the today screen under settings/personal/today->items tab/Device Lock. its different from just Lock and Key Lock as well

On my old XDA Mini S (Wizard) I used a tool called "Device Lock" to lock my phone. This was good because it would lock with whatever was open at the time, e.g. Pocket Memory Map, still open.
On my MDA Vario III the built-in lock (hold in the red phone button) puts the Today screen back on. Is there a registry hack that can stop this, or do I need to install a third-party like Device Lock again ?
Thanks

Do you mean the option on the home screen?
If you go to Start > Settings > Today and select the 'Items' tab it should be there, make sure it is ticked and that should restore it to the home screen. It isn't enabled as default on the Vario III (My version at least!).
The WM6 lock works just fine, but I would like it to lock with whatever is on the screen at the time continuing to be displayed whilst locked.
At the moment the lock will revert to the Today page and lock.
Sorry if I'm not being very clear!

BatteryStatus (and a few other) can do something like that. You power off the phone and when you power on again it locks automatically. And it will allow you to stay in whatever app is up on the display.
The disadvantage with BatteryStatus is that it will ALWAYS lock the phone at power on, even if the phone wakes up due to an incoming phone call. When you end the call, you have to unlock the screen first before you can hang up.
Thanks for replies.
I've got it to do what I want by installing Device Lock, then using AEBPlus to reassign a long press on the red phone button to it.

Hi all
Now I've set the device to ask a pin code to lock the device after 30 minutes of being not used. Isn't there an option/way so the pin lock is immediately active when I want it to be (like pushing some seconds on the end button), using another hardware button or by executing some file?
I've tried to map '"\Windows\Keylock.exe" /toggle' to a hardware key (with an timeout of 0 minutes in settings - lock), but that just prompts the way the/which keys should be locked, as if you would execute keylock.exe without the '/toggle' parameter.
The question is.. what invokes the pin unlock screen to appear?
PS: best wishes for 2008!
hold end call for 3 seconds!
ekw, thanks for you answer but
pushing the end call button:
- doesn't activate/show the pin lock screen,
- any "child who can read" knows howto unlock the device.
the thing is that if it gets stolen, they need to do a hard reset so sensitive data (putted on the device instead of the SD) will be erased
I already tries S2U2 but that locks the device in the same 'security' level as pushing the end call button for some seconds and it mentions howto unlock it
fyi: having the HTC TyTN II with HTC stock ROM (dutch)
Instant PIN Security
As noted in the first post, is there a way to get the phone to security lock on command, where you have to enter the pin to use it again?
I know you can hold down the end call button and get it to screen lock, but is there a way to get it to go into security lock?
I would like to turn the automatic settings off, so that the phone ONLY goes into security lock when I say it does, or, set it so that it only does it automatically like every three hours. That way, I can set it to go into security lock more often if I wish to.
Thanks!
if you turn the screen off using the power button,m and back on, does the lock not activate?
Or have you not told it to lock when waking from standy?

That works if you set auto lock on 0 minutes, but then you have to enter the PIN each and every time you turn the thing on. He wants it to lock only when he presses a lock key.
I unfortunately don't know of anything that does it.

Exactly. Thank you for your comments.
I don't want to have to enter the PIN every time I turn it on. Well, I know I can set it for an hour or longer and that would be fine.
But I want to be able to put it down, with the PIN code enabled, without worrying about random prying eyes looking into it or using it.
Anyone else have any thoughts??
Hi,
I have installed the DeviceLock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305402.
Unfortunately, it doesn't lock the phone completely, cause when I turn the wheel on my Tilt WM 6.1, the phone will turn on, although still locked.
I went to Settings -> Key Lock, but whatever I do, it always goes back to "Do not lock buttons".
Is there a way to fix that, cause when my phone is in my pocket I would like it to be completly locked while I'm talking on the phone.
Thanks
I have a Moto G 2014 running cm13. Everything was fine until my pin code stopped working and I was able to unlock my phone with a swipe. However, I'm able to lock the phone only if I touch the lock icon on my lockscreen after which it says " Your device will stay locked until you manually unlock it". My lock button does not lock the phone to a pin code as it did before.
I haven't activated Smart Lock or changed any setting and this kinda seems out of the blue.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks
I am facing the same issue as well, i tried changing roms and flashing kernals but the issue persists, also reboot dosen't help, do let me know if u find a solution.
for now i double tap the power button which opens up the camera and lets me through the lock screen but things go haywire usually around the lower part of the screen.
I cannot disable the screen lock!
I believe it is a result of that fact that I just enabled the Find My Device feature via google.com/android/device manager. I set up a password there. Then my phone locked, and I had to enter the pw to unlock it. Now, I always have to enter that pw to unlock the phone. I tried to turn off the password lock in the phone settings. Under Screen Lock Type, it says password. I am required to type in the pw, to turn it off. It temporarily changed to "Swipe", No Security. But then as soon as a navigate away from this screen on my phone, it goes back to "Screen Lock Type" - Password. I can't disable the screen lock! It's driving me nuts. So, I turned off the Find My Device feature. I also went into Phone Administrators and removed the radio button next to Find My Device. That didn't do it. I restarted the phone. I disabled google smartlock (I don't know if that is relevant). That didnt' work either. I read something about selecting Clear Credentials, but that option is grayed-out on my phone.
Please Help!!!
