screen lock problem - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

So I was using the Throttle lock program to lock my diamond but as time went on it got buggyier and buggyier until finally 10 min ago it barley let me get to the program removal setting and remove it. I restarted my phone and it works fine again. Im trying to find a program to lock my screen but everything I find seems buggy on my phone. Ive tried S2U2 and I really like the concept but it wouldnt work right on my phone. im not very inclined at modifying my phone other then installing .rars so im not real sure where to go from here....

Did you try TouchLockPro?

yeah i tried it but to me it was to confusing. I dont want to unlock and lock it in all these different ways. i just want to hit a button on the screen to unlock it. thats why i like s2u2 but it was buggy on my phone....

Version 2.6.3 can now also unlock via a configurable button sequence. At first there seem to be an overwhelming number of unlock methods and features to configure, but you can just use the one you want to use and keep all the sensors on, they will *NOT* drain battery.
TouchLockPro should work almost out of the box, see here for a QuickStart.

Installed 2.23ROW - Help! ActiveSync will not connect!

I installed the 2.23ROW Eng on my Treo 750 yesterday. I shut down the computer at the point where the installer says to make sure you complete the list of tasks before hitting continue. I figured it was just an unnecessary step, as WM6 was on the phone. I know now that another part of the phone does not get updated unless this happens.
Now, I'm stuck without a way to finish the flash. ActiveSync won't connect, so I can't reflash it. The only thing I can think of is to do the SD card method, but I don't have an SD reader on me, and I can't freaking get ActiveSync to connect so I can't copy it over that way!!
Can someone help me out? Oh, and I already disabled the "Enable advanced network functionality". That didn't help. The phone works fine and all, but I cannot customize it with cabs at this point.
R U sure you can't connect at all - or is it just not finding your user?
When I upgraded my 750 (using the SDCard method), somehow it created a new/different user for me on the phone.
My "workaround" was to get the phone and my ActiveSync to both use the same user.
More details please...
No, it absolutely would not connect. I ended up just using the flash card method to get it fixed. Then, I was able to reconnect and get the full 2.23ROW installed. Everything seems to be working just fine now.
I do have a question, though. The phone is quite different than it was as an AT&T phone. For one, the power button does not make it sleep. In fact, I can find no quick way to get the screen to turn dark. If I put it down for a minute, it'll shut off. Any suggestions?
Also, what would you recommend for this phone? I used it for a while until I got my Tilt, but I pretty much left it stock. I've done just about everything there is to do to the Tilt, but so far I've only installed the HTC Home plugin for the Treo.
What are some other good upgrades?

Is there still a "Dial Lookup" option in the Today settings? That has to be checked for the power button to work correctly. The HTC Home plugin did that to mine as well... and it's fairly well known.

Hi. Would you mind telling me what your Software Version says. I upgraded using the SD Method, and My Version still reads 1.13-ATT.
Thanks

That worked, but it looks horrible. The HTC plug in leaves room for one item below it, and that "Dial lookup" thing takes two, so there is a crappy little scroll thing there.

The SD method does not load the entire update. I had to the exe method with the payloads.xml file, then follow through where it applies the Palm tweaks to get it to work right.
I think I figured it out... is that the "hidelogo" cab I've seen floating around? I'll try that now.
Geez, it works... but now the phone is stuck in a rebooting loop. It's only up and running for a few seconds, then it soft resets.

Can you please tell exactly how you did the EXE method with the payloads.xml file.
Thanks in advance
Never mind.
Thanks.

Sorry. If I was around before I would have told you about that hidelogo thing. I think you may have to reflash your phone again to get around the rebooting. Search around the forums.
When I ran into the same thing, I removed the HTC Menu thing and went for SPB Menu instead, even though I lose the nice clock.
Crap. Now it's doing it again.... this time, on two different computers. The AS icon turns green, says connecting, sits like that for a minute, then returns an error asking if I wanna run the ActiveSync troubleshooter...

Automatically Lock when in Stand By?

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?

I just use "Device Unlocked" in today menu. Or use the power botton to but device to sleep.

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..

can still access menu when phone is lock

Hi,
Just as many others here, I flashed my wing many times (lost count of it) on the first day I got it. So I don't know if this is a bug of the rom or it is like this even for the stock rom 'cause I never have a chance to use it. I am using ASerg's HERALD.ASerg.Lite4.WM61E.WWE rom. I love it so far, so fast and stable. However, when the phone is locked and idle (screen turned off, I don't know the term to describe this stage) and I got an incoming call, the phone interface will show up. Everything normal until the other side hang up and I exit the phone interface. Now the Today's device lock plugin said that my phone is lock, but I still can access the menu and everything. Can someone know how to fix this? I want the phone still unlock after I received a call, otherwise there is no point for the lock. Thanks for any help.

Tilt unresponsive to anything (not just touch)

I have searched and found some thread's about this sort of this but not exactly the same problem. I am using GARMIN'S FINAL ROM which I must say it awesome. Stable and the fastest I have seen yet but I am still have one problem, at certain point's my phone doesn't respond to touch, clicking of the front key's and even sometime I have to press button's on the keyboard 3 or 4 time's just to get it to type. I thought it could just be lag but even when I give the phone a few second's to do it's thing (load fully) it doesn't work properly? I mean even sometime's when I press the end key the friggin button's don't even light up.
I hope there is some help because I just got the Tilt and it seem's like a great phone but this is just getting to be stupid.
Thank's ahead of time.
i have the same issue with hyper dragon rom. and no, im not running any programs, memory usage is 48% (running nothing) however the screen wont respond to touchs, the keyboard wont respond etc but the cursor still blinks, animations still play etc.
ive already tried all of the "keyboard" fix's, adjusted the settings manually etc yes i calibrated the screen multiple times *waits for somebody to reflash even though i did that *
I was having that problem and I found the only way to workaround it was to re-align The screen in the Start>Settings>System>Screen menu. But, I have not had it since installing SJ's 15 November 08] HyperDragon III Raphael version here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121
I strongly recommend it. All you need to do is remember to install Opera 9 last per Notes at the top of the post.
Hope that helps.
I am going to try that out, it look's cool but it look's like there is way to much stuff for it to run fast? Also if I don't use Opera I don't need to install it correct?
bump! Any other idea's?
I have the same problem but mostly notice it when the phone comes out of sleep. The phone will work right then slow to a stop and not allow any input via the screen or keys. 10 seconds later it's good to go.
Edit
OK the fix I can confirm that woks is that you have to sim unlock your phone with the newer 6.1 roms. I did it and it completely fixed my lag problem. Use the kaiser unlocker to do it and it can be found with a simple search. Make sure you have a the right SPL and newer radio to make sure everything is compatible.

Get into bootloader and flash stock ROM, know you said can't use buttons but maybe camera and reset is
May be blind doing so but worth a shot.

I've had a problem lately too where my screen will go white, while apps still seem to continue running.
Sometimes, just turning off the screen, then sliding it open will fix it. Other times I have to pull the battery.
As of yesterday, I can also no longer read any memory card in the phone. I think its time for a new phone. I just passed that 2 year expiration date.
man...still no answer yet..i have no idea what is going on with this phne..warranty also expired..any help guys???please....

I think the problem are the 2 screen connectors. You must open the screen part of the cover and tighten the conectors.
Good luck.
