Is it possible to remap my voice-dial button to use as a device lock button?
Or any other way (without using extra programs) to achieve this?
yes it is, check out the thread named "Yet another device lock application" or search for amstrong, he made such an app. It calls the device lock today-plug-in, but you can disable the plug-in from the today screen and the app will continue to work. I use AEBPlus to bind it to my comm manager button, double clicking the button will lock the device. Binding it to your voice dial button is also possible with AEBPlus. I'll attach both files here.
Great stuff Koksie.
Thanks a lot!
One thing I discovered, instead of AEBplus you can also use the "buttons" option in the settings to map Device Lock to a hardware button.
Yes, you can of course do it that way, but then you loose the original functionality of that button. With AEBPlus I just bind the devicelock to a double click on my Comm manager button. One click still brings up the original Comm Manager. In this way I can bind apps to buttons and still leave the original button set-up as it came out of the box.
That's true, but I never use VoiceDialing so it's no problem for me
What is different with Device Lock on Today?And how to turn off backlight except Power button?It's mean like Nokia.When you in key lock mode,you can't turn on backlight excep press unlock keypad.
the basic function is the same as the today plug-in. By using this app, you don't have to use the touch screen to lock your device and you can remove the plug-in from your today screen, thereby freeing up space on the screen.
I don't really understand your other question. If you mean that you want the backlight off untill you unlock the device, that is not possible with this app, since to unlock you need the touchscreen and therefore the backlight comes on.

Can you attach the files pls?
log in to this site and you will see the attached files in my first post in this thread.
whoops...
Is there a way to use it to unlock as well? I'd like to use the button to lock and unlock without touching the device
Anyone know of a software that will enable the user to "wake" up from sleep mode by just touching the screen?

wow someone is lazy. haha. whats wrong with touching the power button?
If you could touch the screen and it would awake from sleep mode putting the device in your pocket would suck ass because 1) you'd be draining the battery quicker than it already drains and 2) if you didn't lock your phone you'd be dialing numbers, starting applications, or turning the volume on. Now, wouldn't it be embarrassing that you were in a meeting and the "Eye of the Tiger" started playing because someone is called you?
oh don't deny the fact that you considered putting a Rocky theme song as your ringtone to motivate yourself each day.
lol
BUT if i had s2u2 then i wouldnt have to worry about that. i love slide to unlock but i see no point in having it if i have to press the power button to wake up the phone AND slide to unlock it.
I've been in search of such progam for a while now and i still can't find one. It was great on my HP Jornada 567 how i can do it, but not with the Tilt

you make a valid argument. However, you still have to consider battery drain with the device in your pocket the backlight would always be on. I like s2u2 as well but it tends to slow the device down considerably, therefore, i stopped utilizing the application.
Good luck on your searching and please report back to this thread if you do find the software you are looking for.
I am just plain too lazy to hit the power button. Could someone make a slide-to- unlock that is active with the screen backlight off?

Try settings-system-key lock-do not lock buttons. Then you can wake up yor phone by pressing any button except the d-pad and center button

Awesome, that works great. Even easier then sliding the phone open a little. Thanks!
s2u2
s2u2 can wake device with any button if you set it in options. you can also map some button to activate s2u2, so you don't need to press power button

hey, this is interesting for me.
Do you mean that by S2U2 I could map another button to perform Sleep function? I am looking for to map On/Off button to the button #6. I would to sleep my tytn through that button.
any help?
thanks
fausto
I use S2U2, have it mapped to my PTT+hold button. Then settings->system->key lock, set it to lock buttons if device is locked. I usually wake it now by flipping the scroll wheel, then slide to unlock it.
I only use the power button to actually power off or on.

thanks gwnorth, this is very usefull and interesting and I will use for the moment, but this is not yet exactly what I am looking for. What I wanna do is to assign to the ptt button the same functions now assigned to the on/off button, I am shure that there is a command to launch and perform sleep or resume when a button is pressed.
btw, thanks again for the suggestion, it is very appreciated.
ciao

you should just set all the options you want in s2u2, and then just assign button#6 to s2u2. right now i'm trying to assign long push of end button to s2u2. you can find something about remaping keys here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356322&highlight=remap

thanks anti,
I have just installed PHM Keys and it does about 50% of my need. Now when I push the Ptt button it goes in suspend mode. To resume I can use the On/Off button or if i prefer any other button.
thanks,

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.
So...
1. Install S2U2 v.16 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418
2. Disable any other locking programs or settings; could be used for autolocking only "Turn off backlight if device is not used for 30 sec" on Start\Settings\System\Power\Advanced.
3. Install a registry editor (my favorite is SKTools v.4.3.1.2)
4. Open HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phone, but nothing is listed there), and write here: \Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe
5. Open HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKText and write here: Lock (or anything you want for the name of the button)
6. Close registry editor and... you could lock your device anytime you want!!! The left soft key that was "Phone" on default TouchFlo 3D is now "Lock" (the Phone key is already present on hardware buttons, so nothing to loose...)
Many thanks for this to A_C and mkhattab.
But this version seems cannot lock the Home key, any idea?
if you press the home button, it will unlock, but only for a second. It then automatically goes back to s2u2 screen. Although it is still possible to use touchscreen during that brief moment..
thnx.. this is a great tweak!
i did the same thing after installing the s2u2 but after a while i realized that this method has 1 disadvantage: anytime you want to lock you have to go "home first" and only in the "home" tab you can lock the device.
how i solved? i used HButton and put the lock on the "call" hardware button.
now, it doesn't matter in witch tab i am..long press on "call" and my diamond is locked.

Guys am i doin something wrong?
I got my HTC Diamond yesterday and been using it for a day now... i just press once on my power button every time i dont use my phone, and in that "mode" my phone is locked and in standby mode too. U cant use any keys apart from power key which brings my phone from "stand by" mode to normal mode?!
Is this way safe? To me, looks ok.
I think my rom is 1.93.0.0. this is original phone rom (not cooked one)?

start-settings-system-power-key lock-> check "do not lock buttons" , and after this you could use my instructions on the first post to lock your Diamond with style...
If you want, I could provide you an registry tweek that will lock your phone automatically when the light is dimed. To unlock, you should press a softkey "Unlock device".
Or you could tell me what is your more convenient scenario for lock and unlock and maybe we could help you!

Modify registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable , change from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked.

Hi, im quite new to the Touch Diamond Pro. Is there a program that displays on the main screen a button to lock the Touch pro (Raphael) ?
I found some programs to turn and it locks, to take out the styles and put it back in it locks, but nowhere a simple program that had a button (for instance next to the time...) that displays a lock icon, wich is pressed and the Diamond is locked.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks
The default Windows Mobile home screen(Today screen with TF3D turned OFF) has an option for this under Settings>Today>Items.
Don't know about similar option/program when TF3D is ON.
Hold the end key for 3 seconds and you should get a menu including a lock option. You can set this program to automatically lock without showing the menu.
The program that makes this work is Windows\Endkey.exe so you can assign this program to your left soft key for quick access.
