Hi guys, I just notice a weird lettering of a word 're' appearing on my lockscreen it is below the clock, I cant find any setting that have that
Anyway I can remove it, btw how to take a screenshot of the lockscreen, I tried the pwr vol down cant
Do you have 'Owner's info' enabled in lock screen options?
Any 1 gt this prob? Can help me solved
I've never had this problem.
As said before by kiwi45(since you didn't answer his question) see if you have "Owner info" enabled. This can be found in "Settings -> Security -> Owner info".
Taking screenshots of the lock screen is real simple, use the Android SDK, enable USB debugging on your device and use the "capture screen" option in monitor.bat/sh. (included in the Android SDK)

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.

Hi everybody!
Recently I choose to update my phone to 4.3 android version. Everything is fine, just a little thing is wrong and I don't know if I'm only with this: in video mode I don't have autofocus enabled. I must tap the screen everytime when I want to focus. If I go to settings I don't see "Lock focus in video" option anymore.
Another thing wich is missing from my phone: in "About" section .. I don't have anymore "Hardware Information" menu.
Any solution for this?
Thanks in advance.
anyone? ...

Long press where you'd like to lock focus, and after a couple seconds you'll see "AE and AF locked" (auto exposure and auto focus). Tap again to go back to manual.

Hi all, just got one of these nice phones, and noticed that when pressing the "power button" I only have "Power Off" , "Airplane Mode".
Where, and how can I add both Screenshot, and Restart ((reboot)) to the menu?
Seems crazy I have to Power off then restart the phone for a simple re-boot.
Thanks in advance.

If you upgrade to official 4.4 you'll have at least the screenshot option. For having the restart option you need root

Wow, root, really? Bugger. Oh well. May have to take a look at the mod forums then.

Hi,
My P7 does not have lock screen, instead of this, loads an annoying app called P7 (which comes with stock ROM).
Any of you have an idea to enable lock screen? In settings->security->lock screen, option appears in grey and it is unselectable
I have updated to B126 to check if there was an issue with my stock rom, but it is the same.
Thank you

I'll take a guess here that you have the default magazine slideshow lock.
Go into the theme app and click customize them you can change the lockscreen style to one that allows widgets etc.
It took me a little to figure it out also when I got my phone.

No, i dont have any lock screen. When i press power off button to go to lockscreen, by default, the P7 app appears with a lot of spam about huawei. If i disable this app by settings->applications->p7->disable, when i press power button, screen goes black and when i press again, instead of see the typical lock screen, i see the desktop directly

Please take a screenshot of what you mean.
This was already discussed before, use the search button next time.
Your phone is in demo mode, used for demostration in shops.
Try method post #20 first, if it doesn't work do the steps in post #18.

Not at all, but I learnt about demo mode, and I was able to find the app in /cust/hw/demo, so I removed this and then I did a factory reset
I want to have my tablet unlocked (unlocked locksceen) but using the fingerprint scanner for my apps, banks etc. Samsung galaxy tab s6. If i setup fingerprints, automatically the locksceen is locked.. You have to use password, fingerprint or patern to unlock.. Which i don't want. I wanted unlock.. If anyone knows..
Thanks,

If you are on stock One UI, try this approach:
Post in thread 'Set automatic lock delay on android to more than 30 min. with ADB' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...re-than-30-min-with-adb.3791042/post-81421129
Also you have to set locking with power button to off in system settings. I was using this successfully on my Tab S5e when I was on stock, although now I'm on Lineage Os

Hmm, this is not impossible, but rather unlikely... Did you make sure to change the power button setting? I don't remember how it is named exactly but I belive it's necessary to get it work. Also you could try to separate adb command for two and use superuser access:
Code:
adb shell
su
settings put secure lock_screen_lock_after_timeout 86400000

Many thanks my friend! This really helped: "Did you make sure to change the power button setting? I don't remember how it is named exactly but I belive it's necessary to get it work"
This made me remember, that the above adb commands probably just increase the time to auto lock the screen.. If you press the button it lock instantly bypassing this I think.. So i setup auto lock the screen in 15 sec (without pressing the button), and is working. When screen goes of automatically, it supposed to lock in 5 sec i think, if you don't preen the power button during this 5 sec (otherwise it will auto lock after those 5 sec). Now this 5 sec has become a day.. So tablet stay unlocked and when i press the power key it goes to desktop. Let's hope tablet go to standby and not consuming battery this way.. This one needs to test.
I think i had an app which just turn screen off without lock. Or probably i can do it in tasker, i will try. I think it's going to work this way.. Or perhaps there is a setting when press the power button not to lock instantly. I don't remember if there is, I'll search it.
Thanks again!
Edit. I just made a command in tasker: turn screen of (without checking lock) and it works.. Screen goes of without locking (normally it won't lock for 5 sec i think, but now is for a day). So i can "lock" by a button shortcut in screen, without really lock, or i can press the button and lock instantly with locksceen (which needs fingerprint to unlock).. Or i can set to double press the power button to run the tasker shortcut, so pressing the power button screen of and lock the tablet, or double press the power button to turn the screen off without lock.. I have the choice.. It's ok this with me, many thanks again!!

Yes, this is exactly how it works
I use Tasker as well and yes, it's very powerful tool. Glad you find your way to get it work
