Is there a functional mod that allows quick pin unlock on this phone? It's annoying having to click on the ok button every time I need to unlock my phone.

Hello,
I'd like to have a hardware button assigned to program that activates the wm6-locked state, requiring the regular PIN to unlock the device again.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Chris
Hold down end call button. Is this what you looking for ?
Hi,
thanks, but this does not enable the PIN-Window. I can still unlock just without entering the device pin.
try this one: pLock
tried it - it does not enable the PIN requirement either.
I'd like something like this too

Hi, I always have to unlock my device after i already sliced to unlock,
I have to puch at the bottem (there stands unlock(Entsprerren) and then I have to hit the same butten in the middle of the screen again.
I know this can be disabled, I just dont find it anymore.
Thx Michel
i can't find it on my phone right now for some reason, but its Device Lock under settings somewhere, but i don't have that option anymore. currently, i can only find it as an option for the today screen under settings/personal/today->items tab/Device Lock. its different from just Lock and Key Lock as well
Hi all
Now I've set the device to ask a pin code to lock the device after 30 minutes of being not used. Isn't there an option/way so the pin lock is immediately active when I want it to be (like pushing some seconds on the end button), using another hardware button or by executing some file?
I've tried to map '"\Windows\Keylock.exe" /toggle' to a hardware key (with an timeout of 0 minutes in settings - lock), but that just prompts the way the/which keys should be locked, as if you would execute keylock.exe without the '/toggle' parameter.
The question is.. what invokes the pin unlock screen to appear?
PS: best wishes for 2008!
hold end call for 3 seconds!
ekw, thanks for you answer but
pushing the end call button:
- doesn't activate/show the pin lock screen,
- any "child who can read" knows howto unlock the device.
the thing is that if it gets stolen, they need to do a hard reset so sensitive data (putted on the device instead of the SD) will be erased
I already tries S2U2 but that locks the device in the same 'security' level as pushing the end call button for some seconds and it mentions howto unlock it
fyi: having the HTC TyTN II with HTC stock ROM (dutch)
Instant PIN Security
As noted in the first post, is there a way to get the phone to security lock on command, where you have to enter the pin to use it again?
I know you can hold down the end call button and get it to screen lock, but is there a way to get it to go into security lock?
I would like to turn the automatic settings off, so that the phone ONLY goes into security lock when I say it does, or, set it so that it only does it automatically like every three hours. That way, I can set it to go into security lock more often if I wish to.
Thanks!
if you turn the screen off using the power button,m and back on, does the lock not activate?
Or have you not told it to lock when waking from standy?

That works if you set auto lock on 0 minutes, but then you have to enter the PIN each and every time you turn the thing on. He wants it to lock only when he presses a lock key.
I unfortunately don't know of anything that does it.

Exactly. Thank you for your comments.
I don't want to have to enter the PIN every time I turn it on. Well, I know I can set it for an hour or longer and that would be fine.
But I want to be able to put it down, with the PIN code enabled, without worrying about random prying eyes looking into it or using it.
Anyone else have any thoughts??
One thing I miss from my HTC is the option to have the lock code screen come in to action after a set time rather than instantly
is it possible to do this on the O2x with the without installing another app
It gets annoying having to enter the unlock code each time the screen goes off
would rather have it set to lock after 10 mins or so

You can change the lock screen delay (if this is what you meant) in the settings/display menu. You'll see the screen timeout setting there.
You should also post stuff like this in the Q and A section, not general.
What i'm after is for the phone to lock with a security code after a preset time. not every time the screen switches off
This is what happened with my HTC
Press power button to wake up screen
Swipe to unlock
Enter Unlock code
Phone unlocks
If you locked the phone and unlocked it again within a preset time, you didn't have to enter the unlock code
With the O2x you have to enter the unlock code every time you swipe to unlock
I know you can disable the security code completely but I don't want to do this
Dear all,
I've forgotten my screen lock password, how do i unlock it? If can't be done, how do i do a reset to it?
