Hey guys,
Was wondering if theres a button you can push to activate the password lock instead of having to wait for the timer to go. Thanks!

hold end call for a few seconds(red phone button)
ekw,
as I mentioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1780468 holding the end call button just locks the keys, but/and
- "any child who can read" is able to unlock it (unlock & *)
- this way of locking doesn't ask/require a password/PIN to unlock the device
I'm using the standard HTC Rom.. maybe your's is different?
Mine: HTC TyTN II (Dutch)
R: 1.27.12.11
G: 22.45.88.07H
D: 1.56.00.00
Use htc endkey then . Holding red phone button locks mine!!(maybe i changed it a long time ago and forgot )
ekw,
does 'HTC endkey' invokes the 'enter PIN code' screen to appear or just tap 'unlock' and then 'tap here to unlock' on the screen or use '*'?
i can confirm the using "HTC Endkey" to lock the device DOES NOT invoke the pin entry screen when you have the pin/password entry enabled. The only sure fire way around this is to set the pin entry/password "prompt if device is unused for" to 0 minutes; this way whenever the display is automatically OR manually turned off (through power button or device lock (assigned to a key etc)) when the phone is woken it will always ask for the pin to be entered.

I'm "happy" that you can confirm our 'problem'
Fact is.. I've put the screen to turn off after 2 minutes of non-activity, but when I'm for instance at home, the device shouldn't lock itself with a password when the screen is turned off.
So I'm trying to find a way to be able to enable/disable the device lock by for exemple tapping an icon on the today screen or hitting an assigned key.
Briefly said.. see attached screencapture..
instead of opening that screen (settings, lock, <entering the password>) and enable/disable the option.. I want that (!) enabling/disabling to be done by hitting an assigned key which edits a registry settings..
I do think that the option which you'll see in the screencapture is being remembered in the registry.
I'm willing to find the registry key and programming a 'tool' myself which will edit the registry key.. but I must do some searching (programming for xda).
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

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.
Hi, I'd like to remap the hard keys as follows:
- Home key -> Start menu
- Back arrow key -> OK button
any clues about what registry entries are these two hidden under?
Telling me the button code is enough... thanks.
Maybe this one helps. Can't test it myself as i have no Diamond yet.

The OK-button might be:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C2
nope, no avail - have checked 40C1 to 40C7 but the only thing that fires an event is the green phone long press (40C6), others no avail (
new info - I have found the key codes using AE Button Plus as follows:
- Home button = #00ED (+no flag)
- Back button = #405C (+Win flag)
continuing research...
( No, I simply do not want to use AE Button Plus... )
Any luck on the research?
afaik, once you run touch 3d. The home key will always overwrite by it.....
HButton
I am wondering about the hardware key's to
I use a program (Hbutton) to give more functions to a hardwere button,

- back

I have ended up using AE Button plus. It doesn't initially list the buttons, but you can add them from the file menu.
Now I have control of all my buttons.
but jamesd256, do you know a solution without using AEBplus ? maybe just in modifying registry....
Hi, anybody knows some application to swith off the default actions for the hardware buttons on diamamond/touch pro?, I need to reasign these buttons in some navigation software (xcsoar, seeyoumobile), but, when I press these buttons the default action is executed.
perfect would be to disable these buttons by application.
if someone knows which registry keys I need to change to disable these buttons I could make the application.
Thanks

Hi,
how can i change the hardware button from my mda diamond,
like the home symbol oder the arrow.
Which tool i can use or registry key?
I'd like to set the task fascard to the arrow button, don't know how.
Big thanks
Try the advanced configuration tool i think that can remap the h/w buttons
Do you mean the Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool?
It doesn't let you remap hw buttons, you can only redefine the soft buttons with it =/
I'd need to remap the hw ones
I wonder if there is some tweak or program that does a selective key lock... Under "settings" there is just the option of locking all keys but I wonder if it could be possible to lock all keys except the round center enter key (D-pad) for example. (this way you can turn on the phone by just clicking this more accessible key on the Diamond)
