lock in the taskbar

hi! i am really ashamed to ask, i had various WM devices, but with Diamond i am really perplexed. After a period of inactivity obviously my screen gets locked, which is normal. but when i want to do something with the phone, i press POWER button and then i see a lock near E (G, 3G) icon. if i press the send button, it gets pressed but when i want to press start button the screen is locked. what to do? this is completely amazing how this little device screwed me up.u can see that i am not a noob, but what to do, things happen.
please help me, as i cannot realize what to do.
PS: in search there is nothing about this, at leas i could not find.

Do you have a warranty?

no, i bought it from Italy. why do i need the warranty? the device is functioning, it;s just the lock. i can work with it, but only after a SR

Maybe I am missing something but is that lock icon actually part of some app? Can you touch the icon with your stylus? Anything happen?

how do i factory reset with a dead screen?

my damaged nexus one screen has progressed to the point of a black screen all the time... i didnt think of it before the screen died, but i am a bit stumped as to how i now reset to clear all my data? i cant see anything on the screen, but the phone still has my google account linked to it.
doh! :-(
reason i want it cleared: may send in for repair and i dont want others to get my info, or i may have to send to insurance company for payout (they said to hang on to phone for now) and i dont want them to see my info, or may sell damaged unit if insurance doesnt pay and i dont want those folks to get my info either.... see the problem?

You can try this. Did a google search.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-general-discussions/28793-how-do-full-adb-wipe-help.html

thanks for the link...would work if id had debugging enabled before the screen died... adb wipes require debugging mode.
any other suggestions?

There's this:
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
But if you don't have Debugging enabled and can't get it to register when you hit "adb devices" you're probably effed. I don't know much about touch screen engineering, though. Does it still respond to touch as far as you can tell, or is the screen completely dead when the OLED display stops working?
This serves as a good warning for others, though. ALWAYS MAKE SURE USB DEBUGGING IN SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS > DEVELOPMENT IS CHECKED. There's really no good reason I can think of that would ever make you want to leave this unchecked, and this is an example of when it would come in very handy.

cant you use the clear storage function by booting while holding volume down, waiting 5 seconds, then pressing volume down 3 times followed by a press of the power button?

the digitizer still accepted touch input as screen beneath began to fail. colors bled from the cracks and the images began to imprint in the screen... within a few hours, it was completely illegible, and then the next morning, it appeared as a dysfunctional unit with a non working screen.
i will try and methods suggested, but i have no way to verify success... thanks for the sequence.

well when you boot by holding power, your given options FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE, SIMLOCK
Heres the exact key combination
Boot phone using Volume Dn + Power
Wait 5-10 seconds to be safe
Press Volumn Dn twice
Press Power Btn
Press Volume Up
Phone should reboot after 5 seconds

i will try that... confirmation of success will be the charging LED turning off and then back on again?

of the reboot? ya. i cant imagine doing this without the screen lol. Sorry i couldnt be more help

You could also probably flash a PASSIMG.zip from the bootloader. That will overwrite all partitions so it should make it 100% stock.
It might be harder to do without the screen than the clear storage function though.

tried the method... and i think it worked... i cant verify, but thanks for the help guys.

You can easily verify that by sending yourself an email and see if your phone can get the notification of that new email (by trachball or sound).

[Q] Lock Screen won't "Unlock"

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.

Hard button disableing...

Does anybody know how to disable the three hard button when screen is locked? The reason why I ask that is that... lets say my phone is in my pocket and I accidently push hard buttons and the lock comes off... so any ideas...

My friend,
Too reliable on power button to do everything will easily damage it and the chance to accidently unlock with these button is 1/1000.I always put my x8 in pocket and it never happen,just make sure nothing else in there or u risky to scratch it.
p/s:used to 'accidently' step on s**t several time in my life.Should me disable my feet too?

My One keep restarting and stuck at HTC screen

Hey guys,
So I have had my One more than a year, never root, never install any mod in it, just simple, daily use. It worked well till last night when some weird thing happened:
- At first, the Back, Home and HTC buttons keep flashing along with the screen. When I unlock my screen pass lock and go to the home screen, it showed a notification like "To restart the phone, keep pushing the power button for (x) second" with x is the count down number. After that, the phone is automatically rebooting, then the problem happen again.
- After a few times, I manage to shut it down properly then turn the phone up. As I notice, as long as I doing something with the phone such as calling somebody or checking facebook or simply sliding the home screen, thing is normal. But as I stopped using it, that weird notification pop up again
- The phone keep restarting after that, again and again. Sometime it boot successful, but when Im go to the home screen, the notification shows up and my phone restarts again. As I couldnt turn off my phone, it is drained and out of battery.
- This morning, I put the cable in and try to charge it, and My One now stuck at the first HTC logo screen then restarting and then stuck again. That looping process is drive me crazy. As I try to pull out the cable, the phone is not working (Obviously) since it is out of battery.
- As I hold down Power and Volume down, I can enter bootloader screen. I saw a "locked" banner and cannot navigate through the menu and can not press Fastboot or anything. After 2-3 seconds, the phone is shut down and keep looping.
Long story shot, can anybody tell me how to fix this. As I have a lot of pictures that havent been backed up, I really appreciate if I can keep everything without doing a factory reset. Oddly enough, I cant even do a factory reset since the bootloader is not working.
Please help.

Have you tried a factory reset?
On boot, bottom down n power will take u to fastboot.
You can do a factory reset from there.
HTC sync can save your stuff.

As I mentioned above, I can hardly do anything from that fastboot screen. Up, down and power button is not working as I cannot navigate to recovery or factory reset. Even pushing power button wont do.
When I connect the phone to PC, nothing happen. It is because the phone is out of battery i suppose?
The problem is when I start to charge the phone, it will keep looping. But if I dont, the phone is death and I cant do anything.

I honestly dont know. I suspect you have
Fast boot selected under Settings>power.
You've got to try till you can get into fastboot otherwise send it for repairs.

looks like an hardware defect, maybe your power button is stuck?

Because this is exactly the message we usually get when holding the power button for more then 5 sec...
and that would explain the reboot issue
looks like the "power" key is always active
definitively sounds like an hardware issue imo
and your issue is even present in bootloader what confirm that this is an hardware defect.

You'll probably have to send it for repair. Better to contact HTC and see how much it will cost...
