lock the device immediate with pin code

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??

ICS Face Unlock Issue

Hi all,
I am using the ICS stock RUU (rooted).
When face unlock is activated, and after push the power button to turn off the screen, the screen is off and immediately automatically turns on.
Screen can be turned off normally when I use other unlock methods (PIN, Pattern) .
Is it only me or any of you also facing the same problem?
Thanks.

Startup PIN lock fail after 5.1 update

Sideloaded 5.1. When it reboots (tried several times), it quickly gets to the device boot pin screen, where it used to sit forever until you entered the pin. Now, it will show the screen, but continue to boot behind the scenes. When you swipe up to unlock after boot, you get the keypad from the original boot pin screen, and the whole thing hangs. I've tried this several times and also disabled/reenabled PIN. NO luck.
Only way past is to immediately enter boot pin when the screen appears, but before finishing the full boot.
Second problem that many are having - trusted places (home/work) do not function after update. If you revert Google Play Services back to pre v7, it works again. I'm sure Google is all over this as many are talking about it.

**UPDATE**
More troubleshooting reveals that this happens only when you have both a startup PIN and SIM pin lock on the phone. If I remove the SIM lock pin, then it boots correctly, stopping at the startup PIN screen until entered. If I add a SIM pin, then it boots "through" the startup PIN, to the SIM PIN screen. Upon entering SIM pin, it takes you to regular lock pin screen, where it immediately hangs until reboot.
Anybody else experiencing this? Both pin's worked fine under 5.0.1

Unable to use screen lock

I have a Moto G 2014 running cm13. Everything was fine until my pin code stopped working and I was able to unlock my phone with a swipe. However, I'm able to lock the phone only if I touch the lock icon on my lockscreen after which it says " Your device will stay locked until you manually unlock it". My lock button does not lock the phone to a pin code as it did before.
I haven't activated Smart Lock or changed any setting and this kinda seems out of the blue.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am facing the same issue as well, i tried changing roms and flashing kernals but the issue persists, also reboot dosen't help, do let me know if u find a solution.
for now i double tap the power button which opens up the camera and lets me through the lock screen but things go haywire usually around the lower part of the screen.

Question Launched KNOX folder on rooted device :)

Guys, need your help. I tried to find a way of locking applications and occasionally turned on KNOX folder on Rooted (with TWRP/Magisk) S21 Ultra.
Then it started rebooting even though I enter the correct pattern to unlock it.
Plz help to get it back to normal work! Thanks!

Looks like after having used KNOX (SecureFolder) my Unlock screen is now always set to Pattern although I turned it off. If I enter Unlock screen options and try to disable Pattern, it crashes. Is there any civilized way to reset this damn unlock screen & back to phone's normal life?
