tI use the standard device lock that comes with WM.
However, it goes back to Today screen everytime after lock.
Can anyone tell me how to stay at the original screen after lock?
Thanks
HTC's LongPressEndKey
go to Settings/System/HTC LongPressEndKey...
i don't know how you can make it stay at the original screen: since WM5, afaik locking has taken you back to the home screen
When I want to lock the device I just give a short press of the button on the top - that switched the device into sleep mode, the screen goes off and all the keys lock. To do that go into settings/keylock and then choose under "when device is off" "lock all buttons except power button".
One short press again on the top button then wakes it up and switches it on and it comes back to the screen you were last in when you switched it off.
Is that what you want?

It's not really locked is it? You turn the phone on and it works as normal. Similarly with the screen lock, you just push 'unlock' that appears on the screen and it works as normal. What I need is the device lock as found in settings. I just need it on an icon in my programs list would be good enough.

You can try StylusLockPro special designed for locking/unlocking while a running application is active.
Basically I had a look about here and can't see anyone else with the same issue.
I've not long had the phone and the other night I had a call quite late saying I'd been phoning them 5 times. I'd locked my phone but when I looked at it it was awake and unlocked.
I can lock my phone (hold down the end call key) but with a bit of movement to the phone it brings up the unlock screen and unlocks itself.
This also happens if I lock the phone and turn off the screen with the power button. After a little shake about the phone will turn on and unlock itself.
You can imagine the problems this can cause whilst in my pocket.
I've not messed with the firmware yet or even any registry entries, it's as it was from HTC.
I am having this same issue with mine. I hold down the End key for a few seconds to lock, it locks successfully, but if I move my finger a bit and touch any other part of the surface it unlocks almost instantly. Sometimes the lock remains, but it's more likely that it will get unlocked.
I tried using TouchLockPro, but that didn't seem to help me much (it seems like it's not even functioning, actually). I'm running A.Z.T.O.R. V7 WWE ROM.

Have you tried going to settings then hitting "key lock". On the screen that comes up check the first option "lock all buttons except power button".
Works fine for me - when I switch off screen using power button everything is locked (buttons and screen) until I hit power button again or I get an incoming call.
Mine is set to that, but it doesn't seem to have much effect.
Sometimes I will hit the power button to shut the screen off and later when I pull it out of my pocket the screen is on and something (e.g. Calendar, System Time, etc) is open. During the period it was in my pocket I received no calls or texts.
When I try to hold the end key to lock the phone, it will lock it for ~1 second and then automatically unlock it. Doing it a second or third time will usually get a lock that "sticks" (at least for a while).
There has to be a good solution for this out there, but I've tried PocketShield and TouchLockPro without luck.

Diamond unlocks itself
I have this problem as well. I went to a meeting, locked my phone and it made 20 calls to my friend abroad, so I am really pissed, it happened before but I thought it was because it got knocked in my handbag.- Please help
Also my battery life has depreciated in a big way, at first 24 hours , 4 months later I'm lucky if it's lasting 6 hours and that's without making a call. I've turned of wi-fi, 3G etc. What is happening
Use sensorlock its great if you set it to unlock when you take the stylus out and relock when u slide it back in

TouchLockPro should just work. In post #5 alternatives are mentioned (and also why the built-in Windows Mobile lock is not a solution for your problem)!
The lock screen on my Droid will not unlock. It will move when I try to swipe it, but it snaps back and won't open. Knew it won't help, but did a battery pull, re-booted and nothing changed. I can't get to any kind of menu that I know of because it is an unrooted, stock phone. I can't use the phone at all if I can't unlock it. PLEASE HELP!!!
Come on, no responses? I know someone on here can offer up something...

u sure u swipe/pull ALLLLL the way to the right?
It happens to me sometimes for the phone call, when you did not complete the whole sliding on the very 1st time. Dunno why, but a double power button click (off screen/on) solves the problem.
Hello, i have the new rom eViL's NXSense v.1.26 - (F)The (I)Gravy (N)Train
I have a big issue.
When i put the phone on the pocket,the trackball option of wake and unlock, unlock my phone and touch thinks on the screen.
Is there an option or a way to turn off this function wake and unlock?
Please is there is anything, help me!
Thnx a lot.
try Spare Parts
There is not such thing in the setting, or in the main menu.
I look to all places on the rom, i don't know where i can search anymore.
Thnx
Com'on guys nobody know how to resolve this?
I cant take my phone with me outside, because of that. And to hold them in the hand , i don't want.
Pfff..so bad, this rom is awesome,but this thnig is bad.
In cyanogen ROM, in The settings, there is an option for the lock screen to be on or off. So if on, and the track ball was accidentally pressed in your pocket, nothing would happen because there's no way the swipe to unlock can be accidentally swiped.
Does your ROM have this option?
He have trackball unlock so if he press the trackball the phone wake up and if he press again the phone unlock... In my rom I have Button settings and there I have Trackball wake...
Spare parts is in the market.
Roger is like Obsy said. When i press once , wake, after that press again,and unlock. I don't have any button settings,to change that.
My rom is : eViL's NXSense v.1.26 - (F)The (I)Gravy (N)Train
I will tray the spare parts from the market, and then i told you how it work.
Thnx for the answers guys.
Spbeeking right now i will try this. Thnx
Spare parts, does not work, does not have that option. i have to try anotherthing

Thnx Crachek, i try dis right now, lets see how it works.
Yes it work, trackball still wake up the phone but now does not unlock them second time i push. well this is better. hope Evil, read my message and tell me how to do , to never wake the phone with trackball.
Ok it's official, the best forum ever xda, and nobody knows how to disable trackball wake and unlock. Even the creator don't answer to my pm. Well i guess i should change back to the original rom.
THnx everybody
There is no such option - means, the same file that you've flashed needs to be hacked (decompiled, changed and recompiled) again to remove the trackball wake.

Not true. I too am haunted with this issue on reider's CM10 ROM. I can verify the issue by pressing the trackball to wake, then mashing the screen with my palm a few times to unlock. Anyone experiencing this issue knows how annoying it is.
Has anyone come across a solution yet?
what a terrible problem to have
One of my favorite features on my S8 was that in order to restart or turn off the phone, biometrics was required (Iris or Fingerprint) in my case. I do not see this feature on the Note 8. I can't find a setting I might be missing, is the feature just not available on this phone? I did a search, but couldn't find anything.
I know what u mean I still own my S8, i use cerberus so it has that feature in it and it also has the feature of blocking the notification drop down while phone is locked. I don't use that feature though.

Thanks, but that requires a pin to power the phone on. My S8 could not be turned off without using Iris or Fingerprint so If I lost it or it was stolen it could not be turned off and I could track it.

the thief can turn off your device through recovery. bixby+power button +volume up. all done: p
My note 8 does that. If I try turning off my device without unlocking it first(i have fingerprint and pin on), it will tell me to enter my figerprint or pin. And this kicks in for me 5 seconds after turning the screen off. If you unlock the phone first, it wont tell you to input figerprint/else

My Note8 requires a PIN or biometric to power off or restart if it's not unlocked when I hold down the power button. Not really sure what this feature is for, but it works as it should.

whats the point of having to unlock your device to be able to turn it off ? if someone steals your phone and doesnt know how to turn it off without password/whatever, he can just wait until battery drains and phone turns off on its own lol

Yeah, but during that time, I would still be able to track its location while its on
This feature has a major flaw.
If you enable secure start-up you can't power-off phone without biometrics or pin, but you can reboot it and all the tracking functions are off. Reboot should be also available if you enter the biometrics or pin.
