Hi,
I was under the impression the Froyo 2.2 would add the "Lock phone after" security option so that when the screen switches off, the lock could occur a few minutes later and not straight away.
Any one know what happened to it?
Cheers,
Taomyn
Anyone? Even after the 2nd round of Froyo updates, this still doesn't seem to be an option on my SGS
Same here... This seem so be related only to the SGS... Other phones seem to have the option with Froyo from what I have read so far.
Btw, the missing option in German is called: "Display sperren nach".
You'll not be able to find it, because it is just not there.
Please anyone: Is there a way to acivate/enable that setting? It is so frustrating to have the screen lock so quickly and not being able to change it. Makes the phone a pain to use!
Thanks.
Sportytom.

Is there a way to stop WM6 from going to Today screen when I turn it on? I want it to just return wherever I was when I turned it off. Thanks.
I believe it only happens if you have the PIN setup, at least on my Tilt.
Nope, it happens all the time. I'm in messaging, I turn the screen off and then on and it returns to the today screen. It is incredibly annoying.
Mine does not do that.
Must be a setting somewhere because I know other people have the exact same problem.
I also own the tilt and have the same problem. It's very annoying.
It is a setting issue..
On my Tilt this works: To stop the screen from returning to the Today screen, just go to settings > Personal >Today > Items and choose the Today timeout period from the drop down list.
No dice for me. It was one of the first things I tried before anyway. Its especially annoying when I'm using PocketPlayer and I turn off the screen to save juice and when I turn it back on again PocketPlayer flickers for an instant, then it goes back to the Today screen then I have to retap PocketPlayer, then it has to redraw. Ugh!!!
Yeah,i have this same problem with my TyTn...but it does not happen on a fresh ROM...which leads me to say that it has to be a program installed that is causing it...i have a Kaiser (that is awaiting warranty replacement) on the stock ATT ROM, and it does not do it, considering, i have no apps installed...
pocketplayer has an option to stop this: disable switching to home screen
Even in PocketPlayer toggling that option has no effect on my problem. I am convinced it is a simple registry setting but I don't know what it is.
Anyone have a solution to this?
Just got a Kaiser and I agree, this is extremely annoying. I was hoping there was a registry hack to stop this.

Sure you can
Start->Settings->Today->Items->Today Timeout (Diable it).
This determaine after how much time it will display the today.
Disable it.
Enjoy,

Nope. Checking or unchecking seems to have no effect. Even when checked, turning the device off and on will immediately show the today screen, not in the 4 hrs (or whatever you have it set for) in the dialog box.
Have you tried removing the PIN Lock feature under Settings>Lock?
Aha! the pinlock was set to 0 minutes for some reason. disabling it has sorted the problem for me.

Happy to Help
Mine is set to 60 minutes. If that truly is the fix, it isn't an acceptable one. Thanks for the info, but HTC should fix this.
its definitely not the fix. Mine was set to 15min and that's what I want it at in case I lose it. I am 99% sure its a registry setting and I am also 99% sure that I saw the fix in some forum on another site once but can't remember where or find it again.
Hi I am running Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2_1_64.08.21_CubeV2 ROM.
And everytime I get an incomming text message or e-mail the backlight comes on.
This happens even after you put it into standby and none of the other buttons will wake it only the power button.
i think that is by default and if u want the phone to wake by pressing any key than u have to make that change under settings.
It should not do that, the last ROM I used did not have that issue. It may not be the ROM I would like to know if anyone else has this problem.
Hi everyone..is there really no way to disable the screen turning on when a text or e-mail comes in. When using a WM6.1 ROM, I have tried different ROMs and they all the doing the same. It seems this should be something that can be configured.
Any input from the experts...if not I will go back to WM 6.0
I didn't have it happen with L26 v4 ROM - it does with Dutty's and it does with Death v3. I have heard from others in those threads who say that it does not happen to them. Some have said that the BBCONNECT program 4.0.0.92 is the solution - I have not bothered to search for or try yet. For me , right now, the common thread seems to be AT&T based ROMs
Arghhhhh....I hate to step back into the dark ages but that issue really bugs me. Knowing that my phone is in my case and everytime and e-mail comes in the screen turns on for 10sec....that accounts for the my short battery life.....And I only want to run the ROM's from Dutty he does really great work....wish I knew half of what he does. I might be able to fix it myself...That then brings the question why certain ROM's an not others...
I will leave that question to the experts.
I think it does this because it is putting an alert notification on the screen... I disabled those on mine and they still seem to come on the screen!!
It's so annoying to have to deal with your emails and at the same time have to dismiss countless notifications!!!
Same annoying problem here.
WM 6.1, and every setting in 'sounds & notifications' fails to show results.
Whether I disable or enable the tone, the showing of a message, or the vibration.. no dice: it keeps waking up from standby mode.
i remember some else asking this question as welll... and i think someone was talking about changing something in the the registry, but i am also interested in this. it would come in handy when i have to put my phone in standby for a long time.

I too have this same issue. I've had my new ROM for several months and love it, but I would like to know how to stop the backlight from turning on everytime an email is received.
It never used to do this, however I am pretty sure the backlight always came on for new text messages.
I can deal with the text messages. However, I run blackberry connect for my work email. Having the backlight come on for each email obviously kills the battery life.
I know if can be disabled as it was before. The question is how? Is there a registry setting?
Hi,
does anybody here use PocketShield?
I experience a strange problem - time to time when I unlock my phone the whole top bar disappears. The Start button, the Close button...everything.
I can't do anything with the phone - the only solution seems to be to navigate to the programs tab (via TF3D), select All programs and run the Lock - this locks the phone again and when I unlock it then suddenly my top bar is back. It seems to be completely random.
I know that there is a forum on the developers site but I was wondering if any of the bright minds here could help me ;-)
I am running the 2.0.6.2 free version.
I will try to post it to the official forum as well.
Cheers.

Mine locks up when Gyrator2 tries to rotate the screen on incoming calls. Really annoying. I want to be able to rotate my screen in most programs, but it always seems to screw up my incoming calls and creates more lag...I'm gonna try to go back to sensorlock instead of pocketshield...
I will try to post it to the official forum as well.

I had to same problem. I had Gyrator2 running which rotated the screen and screwed up Pocketshield screen.
I put an Event in Gyrator2 to disable rotation when in PShield screen.
The Event should be the same as Manila's except application/window title is "PShield"
That fix the problem.
i get odd issues as well
I agree, I get odd issues as well. I get the occassional hang, crash, missing bar etc. I uninstall pocketshield and I don't get issues. I'm using NATF 2.3 rom. I paid for it and it worked ok for a while until I noticed these intermittent problems...

I created a rule in Gyrator almost immediately after installing PS - I didn't want it to rotate the PS screen.
I left it up to Gyrator to get the window name and now my rule is set for the window #NETCF_AGL_BASE_.
But my problem is not in rotating, my problem is in unlocking (at least I think so). Anyway, will try to change the window name to PShield and see if it makes any difference.
EDIT
Nope it didn't. The top bar disappeared again during the first seconds of my testing :-(

Thank you my friend for letting me know. If this is indeed fixed I don't mind paying the $13. Will check it right now.
New version available today - but it's not working correctly. after I use the slide bars one time to ignore a call, every call after that is missing the slide bar (answer and ignore soft buttons are there though) and when caller hangs up before I take any action PS just sits there, like it's stuck. Sounds like the same problems you describe earlier.
Im using PocketShield, but I was wondering - the phone always locks after I insert the stylus (I have Touch HD), after a while PocketShield kicks in and after that if I want to unlock the device, I first have to unlock the "normal" lock and then the PocketShield. Really annying.
Is there a way to disable the lock after stylus insertion?

actually i just experience this an hour ago.. also every time I slide the keyboard to unlock my Fuze the screen freezes on the landscape mode. all keys on the keyboard besides the windows key. I hope they fix these bugs right away..
I have the same problem with the top bar disappearing. I'm not running Gyrator or anything like that. I'll try a new version when the bugs mentioned have been ironed out. It is a great product though. I do like it.
Are any of these being posted in the PocketSheild forum? They need to know the bugs.

yes many people posted on the pocketshield forums with same issues...
i dont know if anyone else is having this issue... but
i seems that when slide to answer is activated PSPP some calls get answered automatically... and it takes me to the "talking" screen immediately.
any help on this issue would be super!
I'm having other issues with PocketShield. I didn't have this same problem with version 2.0.6.3, but with version 2.1 I started to have problems with my alarm notification. When the alarm goes off, it just quickly vibrates once and just stops if it's in a locked state. Also, I noticed a heavy battery drain issue--the battery charge would drop about 10% each hour. Once I uninstalled it, the problems with the alarm and battery drain stopped.
Even with the new version (2.1.0.1) I still have problems answering phone calls. I'll slide to answer and the phone just keeps ringing. I hit the "Send" key and nothing happens. I hit the "Answer" soft key and still nothing....
Anyone else still see these problems?
I have a different issue, when phone is not locked and I have an incoming phone call, pocket shield kicks in and shows me "lock screen" where I have to slide to unlock the device and only then I get the standard "Incoming call" screen...
v2.1.0.1
Major Problems
Well I was gonna pay for it but their payment server seems to be phishing site. Also it crashed SQB and when I uninstalled it, the program removed my outlook email account. Sorry but looks like malicious program so going back to an old sensor lock. I did like the software interface but Paypal confirmed me, so I shouldn't need to give you my personal information to pay for the software. No shipping means I am not giving you my phone number and address, etc. Sorry too many questionable things going on for a screen lock... rule is KISS and since this programmer isn't doing that then dump it off my device is my rule.

Hi all,
I have looked around in vain for a solution to my query. Home someone here can assist me.
I want to change my screen lock tone to something I came across while searching for regular ringtones. Basically what I want is for my phone to play a certain tone when it screen locks due to inactivity. I'm using pattern lock and my phone is running Bell's stock Froyo 2.2 I9000UGJL2. I have root access to the phone.
Thanks for any tips and advice.
Hello,
So I noticed this issue and the local live chat support failed to help me and the only thing suggested was a factory reset.
The Unlock with S Pen Remote" option on the Note 9 is a bit buggy. First, whenever it's on, your phone can be unlocked bypassing every security you've set up.
Having this issue since the day I own it and it's not fixed via the November update. Also it's not related to the Google's Smart Lock.
The second thing about this is the menu which can't seem to be able to save the chosen option. Here is a video of what I am talking about.

For long time I was looking for a way to disable it and after one reboot I finally did it and now I cannot turn it back on. Apparently there is almost invisible "OK" button
Trying to figure out if anyone is having the same issues.
