Please explain further. I have no idea what this is regarding, thus harder to help out.
I think he means when you slide the left tab, you can see that it says "unlock." I think he just wants it to say unlock because it's not there anymore.
I mean when I pull the left button on the screen to unlock the phone,there is no
word "slide to unlock", which should appear .

Everytime I switch on my phone, the keypad locks up. I have to press the "Unlock" menu on the bottom left of the screen and then hit unlock again. I find this to be annoying. Any way to get rid of this?
Thanks a million.
Go to START -> SETTINGS -> PERSONAL -> TODAY -> ITEMS and uncheck "Device Lock" I believe if you don't have it as an item on your today screen, it won't boot up. However, don't take my word for it 100% , I never had this problem.

just tried that. Didnt work. :-(
Any other ideas?
Take a look at your installed programms
Battery Status Includes such an auto keylock
This is why this community is awesome!!
I've been trying to figure this out for days! Thanks a million. It worked!!!!
I ran into this same problem i was about to do something unholy to it! So yes check the battery status plug in..LOL
I use S2U2 for a keyboard lock.. It's nice and pretty, and has some nice previews of upcoming appointments, etc, but it's pretty heavy on ram. But I haven't seen anything as quick to unlock.
CSDEVCTRL by chrisstavrou is a great locking program. It is excellent for in-call locking and temporary unlocking during the call. It locks ALL buttons during a call, unlike many other lockers, so that when you're on a call and your phone is in your holster or pocket, it doesn't hang up by accident.
It has three different ways to unlock the screen: a tapping sequence, slide-to-unlock, and a button sequence. The slide and tap features can also be set to do up to four different things, such as slide-to-unlock, slide-to-hang-up, slide-to-open-speaker, slide-to-go-to-today.
It also offers many small bonuses, like a simple call blocker, bluetooth tweaks, backlight tweaks, and carrier name tweaks.

It's not like S2U2 in the sense that it doesn't have any sort of screen saver or visible skin. When I look at my phone, I see the same thing whether or not it is locked (I use SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, so I see the "Now" screen.)
Just go to the link I posted earlier, and you'll find all the info there!
What is the lock feature for when writing an SMS and going into symbols. It says "lock". What does that do?
Honestly - have you even bothered trying?!??? Are you scared it'll SIM lock you phone or what???
It locks the keypad in symbol mode until you hit the lock button again - useful for typing smiley faces etc.
Thank you Mr. Negative, that answered my question very well.
I tried it but didnt try hitting a symbol after the lock button, so i didnt find out on my own.
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)?
Any suggestions/advices?

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.

Is there any unlock aplication where you must drag whole screen instead of that tiny bar to unlock like Android have?
try lockmelite

Hi folks,
While locked, one can find the Barcode-scanner with a swipe from the bottom. That is, in fact, quite handy.
But, maybe I'm blind, I can't find that app/feature while the phone is unlocked. I know that the camera -app should recognize QR-codes automatically, but it doesn't react to barcodes.
If someone here could tell me, how to start that Barcode-scanner, that would be great.
Kindly, Marcel
Just scroll the home page to the left until you see a search bar
Or in home screen, swipe down from the screen ( not the notification bar) until you see a search bar
The left part of the search bar is the barcode scanner
Thanks, found it next to the searchbar...
But, can't one can start it directly somehow?
From the Lockscreen, swipe up from the botton. The most right icon.

As I wrote in the first post, I already knew that, I was looking to start that app/function while the phone is unlocked. But thanks anyway...
I guess I will just use the way mentioned earlier, with the searchbar...

There's another way, a bit complicated, but it works:
Make a photo of the QR code and open the photo with the gallery app. Now tap the 3 dots for "more" on the bottom right and the last menu entry should be " Scan QR code in the picture" or something else (free translated from German EMUI).
I don't know why Huawei removed the EMUI 4 feature that the stock camera can read QR codes directly without any option. There was just a small button with "scan QR code" inside the camera app, when it recognized such a code.
swipe all the way to left. then you come to the search bar. the icon on the left of the search bar gets to the scanner. I have no idea why i cannot find the app anywhere elese.
Open camera app, in top left corner you have icon for HiVison(circle with 2 "wings"), click on that and then you have more posibilites, QR scanner, translate, shop, or recognizing.
