hello,
my question, perhaps dedicated to windows mobile 6(i don't know):
when i wake up my device via power-button from standby, my device is always locked, so i have to do the magic "push-the-lower-left-corner and than push-the middle-right-edge" combo to unlock my device. is it possible to diable this behavior, so if i push the the power-button, the device turns on without locking?
thanks for help,
earp
Change
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable
from 1 to 0
excellent. fast a right solution.Thanks a lot!

Hello,
I'd like to have a hardware button assigned to program that activates the wm6-locked state, requiring the regular PIN to unlock the device again.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Chris
Hold down end call button. Is this what you looking for ?
Hi,
thanks, but this does not enable the PIN-Window. I can still unlock just without entering the device pin.
try this one: pLock
tried it - it does not enable the PIN requirement either.
I'd like something like this too

Hello everyone. I have an AT&T Tilt, and it's great so far, except for two issues:
1) After I end a phone call, the backlight seems to go off and the screen is very dim. Pressing keys does not bring the backlight back. If I power the screen off and on, the backlight comes back on and the screen is at its normal brightness.
2) I lock my AT&T Tilt using the "Device unlocked" area on my home screen, and when I unlock the phone, sometimes it asks for my PIN, and sometimes it just shows the unlock button on the screen. My settings are for a 12 hour timeout.
If anyone can shed any light on possible fixes to these issues, that would be great. Thanks!

I have the same issue after a phone call....
Same issue here too... it doesn't happen when on USB-power... and I don't remember it doing this before the security-Exchange policy was forced onto my phone.

I think this happens coz the phone goes into standby / lock mode during your phone call. Just press the on/off button to turn screen off, and press again to turn on. Now your phone will be responsive again.
Minor bug.
Or you can just scroll the volume wheel to turn it back on.

thanks michi
thanks everyone for your replies. I will try the StayUnlock application.
I still don't understand my second issue though. If the bug is causing this issue, shouldn't it at least be consistent in either requiring me to type in my PIN or just hit the unlock button? I have set my phone to lock after 12 hours, so it should never ask for my PIN, just the unlock button...
I now see that people have been having the first issue since the Cingular 8125 but I have been unable to find any references to my second issue.
ATT Til and Backlight
When making a phone call, once connected, about 12 seconds later the screen goes dark regardless of the setting on the backlight. I am not using a password, and the only way to get back is to use the power button. using the phone button puts the call on hold
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,
My Kaiser has suddenly changed so that when I wake the phone up, I have to unlock the keypad by hitting unlock at bottom left and then unlock again mid way up the screen.
It never used to do this - simply pushing the power button woke up the screen and the keys were no longer locked.
The phone is set so that all keys are locked except the power button - which is what I use to wake the phone up.
Can anybody please suggest what could have changed and how to set it back.
Thanks.
What software did you install lately? Or maybe it was a feature in one of the softwares that you have, and you just enabled it!
hi, please can someone advise a way I can disable the power key from instantly locking my phone? So it stays unlocked for at least few minutes if this is possible. Where can I view options for this?
Using the Huawei P20 Pro, model CLT-L09.
Thanks
Overwhelming response, thanks everyone.
I don't think there is a real solution for that because you would need to change the way the Lockscreen ist working.
Why would you want that anyways? The fingerprint reader is quick enough to not be bothered by the unlock time
I don't think that is possible and I don't think it makes sense for companies to implement a feature like this.
If I understand this correctly, what you want to achieve is when you press power button, you want your phone to stay unlocked for few minutes and after that get locked? If so, just set screen sleep time on 5-10 minutes.. What's the problem.
On my LG V20 (Android 8.0) there is an option for screen lock timeout. U can set how long the phone should wait to lock the phone after the screen time out. Also have option for pressing power button should lock the phone instantly or not. (check the attached pic). But to my surprise, can't seem to find that option in P20 Pro.
Personally I'm ok with power button instantly locking the phone. But for those who are quite annoyed with it, the best option is to turn-on the smart unlock and see what is best suitable way to keep your phone remaining unlock.

My phone is already set to sleep 5 minutes after being inactive. So it should stay unlocked but the power key instantly locks it no matter how long it's been unlocked.
I used to have Samsung phones and on all of them I owned you were able to disable instantly locking your phone with the power key. I guess it's not built in via Huaweii, I ended up enabling facial recognition to save time.
Thank you and everyone for your replies much appreciated.
