I used to be able to simply turn off my Trinity to engage a PIN lock.
I want to be able to have the phone locked, once the screen is turned on again as oppose to a timely interval of x minutes (very annoying).
I cant seem to remember how I enabled this feature on my Trinity.
Any help?
Hi MrTW,
If I understood you correctly this should work?
1. Go to Start>Settings>Lock
2. Tick "Prompt if device is unused for"
3. Set the time option to 0 Minutes
That should do it - let me know how you get on.

Hi zippyioa,
this is how it used to work on my Trinity. On the Tilt however it locks every 30 seconds or so and requires for me to enter the PIN (pretty annoying).

Hi MrTW,
The instructions I gave you should set the phone to ask for a pin when you switch it on - isn't that what you wanted?
Zippyioa
yep, that is what it does essential. But on top of it the phone PIN locks each 30 seconds of none use.
I would like to have the phone PIN locked only when the screen is switched off; once the screen is on it shouldnt look.
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks for helping out!

I get what you mean. You want the phone to ask for a PIN code when you switch it on, but you dont want it to ask you for a PIN code after x seconds of not using it.
I have searched for an answer but cant find one
You said you could do this on your Trinity - maybe it was available in WM5 but has been removed in WM6?
Any ideas anyone??
The other option you could try is to look at 3rd party software like this?
Let me know how you get on - this problem is bugging me now!!
Zippyioa
I had this too on my trin running WM6. I want it on the Kaiser ! I tried the 0 second thing, doesn't work right =(
My phone is policy locked by my corporate IT so I can't try this, but try setting the lock time and the auto-off time to the same value. Sounds like you already know where to find the lock time...the auto-off time is at Start->Settings->System Tab->Power->Advanced Tab.
Seems to me that if you set both to say 5 minutes, you're phone would stay on if you're using it and turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity. Since that is the same value as your lock time, it would be locked when you turned it back on.
Of course, the obvious trade-off here is battery life.
well, this solution also does not work.
The phone locks after 5 minutes (which makes sense, since I tell the phone to lock) but the phone does not ask for a PIN entry if i turn the screen back on again.
Its funny that this pretty important feature has been forgotten - time for someone to write a little program and earn a few bucks (I am the first to buy).
Thanks for all the help so far!

Workaround
Hey, I've been looking for a solution to this for some time and I have finally figured out a way, to enable this feature. It's pretty ugly and I'm sure one of the gifted programmers out there could write a little program to do this all-in-one in no time, as mentioned above...! But anyway, here goes:
First of all, you need a program, that will allow you to call up the PIN lock functionality via a shortcut (alternatively, if you figure out where in the PPC file structure this command is hidden, this would work as well and possibly quicker). I use the freeware PocketToolman for this. Download here http://pockettoolman.blogspot.com/ and install. Then either: a) launch the program (which initially will only activate the tray icon), tap on the tray icon, go to settings - options and click through to the last page where you can find "Create PT Function shortcuts", tick the box saying PIN Lock and press OK or b) if you prefer creating shortcuts yourself, you can call the Toolman exe file using "/Lock" after the filepath (no inverted commas) and place this shortcut in a convenient place.
The second part of the solution, is to get a program, that allows you to manipulate notification queues. I personally use MemMaid (http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/) which unfortunately is not freeware, but a lovely tool, worth paying for. The interesting thing is, that for the purpose of this exercise, you may be able to get away with using only the trial version. (There is the possibility, that there may be freeware out there, that can emulate this particular functionality, but frankly I couldn't be bothered to look, as it took me ages to figure this out as it is! ;-) ) Anyway, assuming you use MemMaid (and I would recommend you try it out using that, to see if it will work on your device as well...) you open it up and go to the 2nd tab at the bottom (at least for me, I'm using v2.0). That should take you into the notification queue. If not, then try the drop down menu at the top, to give you more options for that tab. Now you click on the "add" button and on the following screen click on the three dots next to program and choose either the automatically created shortcut from Toolman (should be in the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder, may differ if you have a different native language) option a) or choose the shortcut you created yourself using option b) above. Now the final step is to change the event type from "Run at time" to "The device woke up". A click on add and then on OK and Voilà! You have a PPC that will no longer autolock when on, only when the device is woken up from suspension and on reboot or cold boot! Well, technically that's not quite true, a little thing I forgot and should've mentioned earlier: You need to turn the WM Lock on via settings-personal-lock for this all to work, as this method builds on WM resources and the setting to use for the time is of course 24h, as that is the longest available. So tecnically the other time you will be prompted for a password, is if you leave your device on (not suspended) and don't use it for 24h! For me at least, this is a relatively unrealistic scenario, as I really cannot see myself going 24h without my Uni! ;-) Hope this has helped you guys, btw if the need arises, I could translate all this into German if that would help anybody, I'm just too lazy to do so right now!
Ok known bug: It seems not to work the first time you suspend and reawaken the device after a reboot, but after that it works just fine.

I would like my Tilt to automatically lock itself when I put it in stand by. I tried iLock and it worked pretty well, however, it would sometimes not come out of lock fully when I received a fall call and cause the phone to lag. I also tried automatic locker that comes with BatteryStatus plug in, but when I get a call, I can pick it up, but then I cannot do anything during the call until I unlock it which is super annoying.
So I am looking for something that will put my phone to lock when I press the power button, and then unlock itself when there is a phone call.
Anyone knows any app that can help me?

BatteryStatus will exactly that. Originally this was developed for the Prophet and also provided overclocking of the OMAP CPU in the Prophet. Last time I tried it, on a Hermes it was working fine if I left the overclocking stuff disabled. Since then I see that Mr Chi-Tai Dang has removed any references to the Prophet and XDA Neo from his description of the application, and indeed the version history does now also mention Samsung CPUs, so it should also be safe to run it on the Kaiser.
Note: I recall seeing it here that the overclocking functions in BatteryStatus should be OFF on the Kaiser to avoid battery drain and overheating.

yup I saw that and it does what I need.. however, there is a problem
When it locks, and I get a call, I can answer the call. Then, if I want to end the call or use any options during the call, I have to unlock the phone which is annoying.
I remember using this on my old JAMin and had no issues taking calls. But it caused serious problems when trying to use Spb Backup with automatic nightly backup. Spb Backup would do a soft reset after completing the backup and this would make the phone hang.

That is what I would do. Maybe OP is asking something that he is never going to find or him have to do the reg tweak himself.
I have not tested on my Tilt, but This is what happen on my MDA.
I locked my phone and put it into standby, I receive a call and I was able to use note to write stuff and record the conversation(without unlock the phone). The phone will lock itself after the phone call. Is this what you are looking for?
The answer is on the today's menu.....
It did work on WM5, Im not sure if is the same on WM6.
p.s. I really find point less by locking up the phone because stand by does the trick. Unless you password protect your phone and that is different story.
lock
another way to lock your phone is it use Vijay's little baby It uses the built in lock that is provided within the O.S. however you DONT need to have the today plugin enabled for it to work....
www.vijay555.com
On my old C500, I had found a program that automatically locked the device after a user configurable time - much more useful than manually locking as you didn't have to remember to do it. And IIRC it didn't cause issues with calls. Obviously this prog (even if I could find it again!) wouldn't work with the Kaiser, but surely something similar could be done?
this option has also gsmart i128. you will set time for how long time device has to lock automaticaly. very useful function..

This has been bugging me for awhile now. If I start a program on my Tilt and then let it sit long enough for it to power off the screen automatically, when I press the power button to turn it back on, it always goes back to the Today Screen. Is there a way to have it resume the last program I had running instead? It is very annoying when reading a book on the device and I have to keep going back to the start menu to start it back up.
Search before you post!!!!!
Just for this time... I'll do it for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=11222661
I've been reading all of the Kaiser Posts and didn't see anything myself. I looked at the four results you have listed, and none of them appear to have a solution. Does that mean there is no solution?
try doing what one of the posts said
"

May it's the setting 'Today timeout:' under Settings/Personal/Today/Items..."
there is a checkbox for turning the return to today timer off
and a dropdownbox to set it up if one wish to do so after a longer period
That setting was already set to 4 hours as it is the default, but no go. I do have a PIN setup due to my Exchange server at work, but it looked like people were still having the issue even without a PIN.
One of the threads said that several programs allow you to set this up, but none of the posts defined which programs would let you.

yeah, i have PIN for exchange too. today screen cpl doesn't help either.
None of the threads mentioned here in post #2 provide a concrete solution, just speculations.
Adding to the speculation, I think this is a Windows Mobile 6 bug. I have a Treo 750 that never had this problem with the original WM5 ROM but it did with a WM6 beta ROM and it does with the official WM6 update. Now, my new Tilt also reverts to the Today screen, which is extremely annoying.
A related issue, if you set a hotkey in MediaPlayer to toggle the screen on or off while playing music, it also returns to the Today screen instead of MediaPlayer when you toggle the screen back on.
In this post there is an answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352839&page=3
The problem appears when you use a pin-code...
So, the only way today is to remove the pin-code from the lock-settings.
//T
Since I'm syncing to my corporate Exchange server with PIN enforced, I guess I'll have to live with it. I am interested in the poster from the linked thread that says only his Kaiser is having this issue with a PIN, but looks like nobody has a better answer so far. Next time I hard reset my phone I'll give this a try before I sync to the server and setup a PIN.
Please forgive me if this is being discussed elsewhere, but I skimmed through the Kaiser forum, and I didn't see anyone else mentioning this problem. My phone automatically reset the clock for DST yesterday, and looking through the calendar today all the appointments are an hour off. For example, my work schedule. On the day summary page it says I work 07:30 - 21:00 today, however when you click edit appointment it says 06:30 - 20:00. On Wednesday I have jury duty. On the day page it says that jury duty starts at 10:30, however it really starts at 9:30, and if I show up an hour late I am in contempt of court!
Is there a setting I am not aware of? When I click edit appointment it shows the correct time, but on the day page its an hour late. The thing that really bothers me is that since I have an erratic schedule at work I have it set to remind me an hour before, just in case I forget to set my alarm clock the night before. Today I got my 1 hour reminder while actually driving to work!
I am using the new Tilt ROM, details are in my signature.

If you are saying the Today Screen Calendar is off by an hour, but the calendar inside the pda is ok; A soft reset should fix your issue.
We had a couple of Hermes and kaiser's with this issue yesterday.
Try the attached cab
Ok, I 've been transferred to HTC support from ATT, which is nice, I didn't have to call them myself, and the ATT rep explained my problem to them. There is a hotfix of this issue, I haven't tried it yet, but I figured I'd share. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949168

WOW! Mine is too!
Didn't even notice.
All my calendar events were changed from 8am start to 9am start.
What the heck?!
Yeah, it's stupid daylight savings time. You have to download a patch from microsoft to fix it, can do it straight to the phone by going to www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile and hit the Update option. I don't really understand why it couldn't just be automatically sent thru the Windows Update option under Settings...talk about a frustrating issue though!
now the question is will it work with 6.1
I saw this coming days ahead because of my scheduling :S...
Anyways, what fixed for me was just fixing the time on my Kaiser, all but one (?) appointments switched back to the original time automatically. No extra cabs or tweaks.
Good luck with that.
I've tried running that patch, and after installing the cab, it resets the Tilt, and then when it comes back everything is still the same. I've tried switching to a different timezone, and then back (per the advice in the another thread) to no avail.
Jimmyv - what do you mean you "fixed" the time?
Jay, please keep us updated as to what you're finding out.

Keep in mind this is not, nor should it be considered, a permanent fix. I don't know what long-term problems this could cause, but I'll tell you how I got it to work for me.
1. (Not sure if this is needed, because it didn't seem to change anything) Install the 2008 DST update from Microsoft.
2. Make sure all your appointments are still set to their original times (As in, you didn't change the original hour so that it'd remind you with it's skewed view of reality )
2a. (You may not have to do this) Under the Phone options dialog (Settings -> Personal -> Phone), go to the 'Time Zones' tab, and uncheck 'Automatic change time zone and clock'.
3. Go to the clock settings dialog (Settings -> System -> Clock & Alarms) Set the time zone to the one an hour behind you (-6 to -7 is what I did)
4. Set the time, manually, an hour ahead. (In the system clock dialog, there are two options for time: Time zone, and time. Set the time zone an hour behind, then set the actual time an hour ahead.)
5. Enjoy. Your appointments should now be okay.
I do hope someone figures out what's really causing this, though, because I'm not keen on changing the time zone every time DST comes into effect.

A hard reset wouldn't be bad, but I really don't want to re-enter all of my appointments. Otherwise I could fix it by just deleting all the appointments and re-entering them.

I think the problem is that 2 things are trying to do the same thing. The network is trying to adjust for DST and windows is trying to do it too. I wish there was a way to just turn off DST and let the phone manage the time.

I just had a brainstorm! I'm in the eastern time zone. (GMT -5) Indiana does not participate in DST. I switched my time zone to GMT-5 Indiana, and all my appointments are correct now. I'm leaving autoupdate time on the phone, so this should take care of itself, and the phone will manage the time changes.
-Jay
I just realized you do have to turn autoupdate time off to use my earlier method. Futhermore, due to the same problem, I'm not sure you're new method will work forever. The reason I had to turn autoupdate time off was because the network told my phone it was -not- in the -7 time zone. I think, after a little bit of time, it will tell you're phone it's not in Indiana and you'll be stuck with the same problem all over again. x.x I'm going to look at the registry for the clock/calendar integration and see if I can't find some hidden setting that'll stop the clock from messing with the appointments. I'm pretty new to this though, so don't bet on my finding something that'll work. Any help from someone smarter would be very much appreciated. ;D
Edit: Sadly, the only thing I could find that looks anywhere close to something in relation to this is the value TimeZoneInformation in HKLM\Time. I can't figure out how I'm supposed to edit that so that changing the time zone doesn't touch the appointments, though. I'm not even convinced it's possible. Anyone else know any registry values that might relate to this problem? I'm going to try and decompile the MS patch next to see if I can find any hints with what they did.. Even if it didn't work.
Greetings,
I recently updated the stock AT&T ROM, and am a user of KaiserTweak.
Following my update to the new stock Tilt ROM, I no longer get autocomplete either when typing out a message OR (and this is the annoying part) when I want to send an email. Previously, I could enter the first letter and all of the entried beginning with that letter would come up.
Can any kind soul please let me know how I might be able to restore this? My current KaiserTweak autosuggest is set at 6. Of course, I am getting 0.
Thanks!
I recently had this problem with mine using Kaiser Tweak... Turn off XT9 in Kaiser Tweak if you have it enabled and then soft reset and it should work fine. This is what i did and my auto complete came back on no problems. If that doesnt work then I have no idea what it could be. Im still a noob.
SOLVED
That was it. XT9 is a 'advised' setting too ... YIKES.
well i didnt update the new att rom, nor do i use kaiser tweak. i just have stock everything & mysteriously my auto complete stopped working. well its not that it doesnt work, but there is a 15 second lag or something on it. and when it does work it pisses me off bcuz i'll click on the item i wanted to auto complete & it doesnt go away (bcuz the lag) so i'll click it & start typing the next word & it keeps adding the auto complete entry!
i've tried soft reseting, tried, cutting the phone off, and i've noticed i've just got a huge lag on the whole phone w/in the last hour or hour & a half. i cut the phone off & removed my sim & then started it back up & there is no lag whatsoever. could it be something that ATT is doing on their networks or something? pissing me off bad tho...bcuz i've been finding little POS problems day after day w/ this phone and when you spend that damn much money on one, you figure that you wont have to worry about all these little problems...and they add up to amount to one pissed off customer. hell if att had something else w/ wm6 & office & wifi, i'd be using it now instead of feeling like im getting shafted by purchasing this POS.
I understand that your phone is behaving in a way that you do not like. It is either:
1. a bad phone - take it back
2. it is behaving correctly and you do not understand it - in that case indicate here AFTER SEARCHING what your problems are and I am pretty sure that you can get them solved.
3. you have hosed something up - again AFTER SEARCHING ask and you shall receive.
As a newbie myself I have found this a wonderful wealth of knowledge. HOWEVER - if you do not TRY and helpyourself - put on your asbestos suit.
Now - it is entirely possible that you have purchaseda high maintenance phone that has lots of power that you do not need and should not have because it will take more than you want to invest in it.
Your decision.
(BUT - I would quit griping here because you will get VERY LITTLE sympathy.)

yeah i wasnt really looking for sympathy...but thanks for the tip, i'll digress prior to the rant next time. its just getting more & more frustrating. the purpose of my post was to in fact garner some sort of assistance in regards to the auto complete not working on the phone.
the other issues i've had w/ the phone are issues that are seemingly unable to be fixed. ie. the camera lag issues, the utilization of the phone as a 56k modem, or other things like that. i wouldnt say the phone is too much work for me as i dont mind putting forth the effort but it just makes me wonder how a phone can be sold so haphazardly without many of these issues resolved prior to it being released. /end rant
edit: i just wanted to shed more light in regards to the situation that i've found out. this is the only way i can replicate the issue.
i turn the phone on. go into messaging, its defaulted back to keyboard input, i change it to block recognizer. begin to input letters. no auto complete. after about 3 words, auto complete pops up. i click one of the options. it doesnt go away. i wait for the auto complete applet to leave. it does, i begin to type & at this point the lag has commenced. auto complete will not show up again unless i stop adding letters to the sms. when i do so, about 8-10 seconds later the auto complete pops up. i finishe the sms & send or cancel it. now everything is laggy. i cant access apps, if i lock the phone i cant unlock it. everything is frozen w/ an absurd delay, as in i've waited over 5 minutes & the unlock will not remove itself. the only thing that i can do is turn the screen off by clicking the power button. when i resume i get the top today bar and the bottom unlock bar, everything in the middle is blanked out. the only way i have been able to continue passed this point is to pop the sim door forcing it to cut the phone off, then replace the sim door lock. if i dont use the auto complete function on the phone i dont have any issues whatsoever. hopefully the added info helps. thanks.
After reading this I checked and autocomplete was not working! I recently updated Kaiser tweak and remember putting 6 words in. When I checked, it was set to 0 words. I changed it back to 6 words and is working fine again. Not sure how it got set to 0.
Dear all,
I have a strange problem with my Diamond.
Due to the fact that i have set my diamond to reset itself every night at 5 am, i have removed the PIN feature, so when it reboots i will be able to receive phone calls (when i wake up in the morning), because it happened that i wake up late and miss phone calls.
Today, everything worked just fine, BUT, i have a Password screen (Start settings lock), although NO PASSWORD was inserted. I tried the old password, but it doesn't work.
I can receive calls, but if i miss one, i can't see who called. It's just like my phone wanted and inserted a password by itself.
Can i do something, without hard resetting my phone? Any idea is a good idea. I am willing to try everything, so i won't loose my sms's, phone book, and everything else.
Thanks for brainstorming with me
Later edit:
It seems that i can sync the phone, it doesn't ask me to unlock the device. WTF?!? Virus?
Can i registry edit the removing of the password? Can i do it via my pc?
Another later edit:
So,... i'm in the password screen, as before . I noticed something strange: When i remove the stylus, it inserts a character, as if i type one, but actually i'm not.
Below the text field i have the following: 0 and a reverse timer now dropping from 2 minutes.
You should be able to bypass it by ActiveSync, and if you can't then .. du du duhhh i dont know lol.
Is this a PIN code or a Phone lock code?
Try your user manual it'll tell you the default code. If its PIN you need to look for your operators default pin (normally 4-8 0s) or if its a PHONE code then i actually have no clue what HTCs default is.. or if there even is one?
I detect a hard reset...

It's NOT a PIN code,... it's a HTC code (start ->settings -> LOCK) i have that screen.
The problem is that i haven't activated that option, and the old code ain't working (or i am not remembering correctly)
Do me a favour mate..
Pull out your battery.
Now put it back in and turn the phone on.
Still locked?
