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).
Is there any way to disable key lock, i mean i want to use screen pattern lock.
i don't like to push menu button each time and then unlock the screen.
i'm using now lock 2.0, it's nice but i would like to use, android screen lock
try lockbot..
I really like the way iPhone has setup there lockscreen. When you press the home button you get the Side to Unlock screen after you side either it goes in or asks for a pass code. I was wondering if there is a way to do that on the sgs as well?
Like have the default Android lockscreen when you first press home, you slide it and then it asks for prin/pattern.
Reason i want this is so i can see my messages and song track on the default android lock screen and still have have it locked with a pattern. Plus its annoying to enter a pattern in the car while driving and changing songs so i can set the timeout of the pattern to like 15 minutes.

i am using a lock screen widget....but when i press the widget....it lock the screen but the screen still lighted....so is there any way to use a lock screen widget but completely lock the screen like when pressing in the power button??
Hi guys
I would like to know if its possible to skip the lock screen while using google smart lock (trusted bluetooth device connected). I would like be on home screen after a double tap or press on my power button; instead I have to swipe everytime. Is there an option to skip this?
I know I can do this with face unlock ("direct unlock"), but dont wanna use that unlock.
