Unlocking Touch display..

I've made my Diamond auto lock when my display gets dimmed, with:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1
This is good, but I wan't to be able to lock my phone instantly.
I know I can press and hold the right phone button to lock it. But it takes about 4 seconds. Is there anyway to change this delay?
Also, is there ANOTHER way to unlock my phone again? So I DON'T have to use the touch screen? Like first pressing the round enter button and then down or left, right after?

my htc touch will not go past 'windows mobile' screen on turn on & will not turn off or do anything else, can you help

To lock the phone I just give the power button a quick press. To unlock without touching the screen just remove the stylus.

...or use this http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php . its a really neat application especially because of the minimum of hardware buttons on the diamond. I have configured it to lock the screen when i double press my "hang up/disconnect" button and switching wi-fi on/off when I longpress one of my volumebuttons...

yeah I know that program.. I've used it before but it kept crashing..
But I'll give it another try.

[Q] Any way to lock keys as well?

My phone tends to turn off in my pocket due to the power button being held and then, somehow, the "turn off" on the screen clicked. Is there any way to make screen lock lock the physical buttons as well? So that clicking the power button turns the screen on like it does now but holding it doesn't make the window prompt. From what I see, there's no such option in the android itself so some app maybe?

our phone have only one physical lock button but you can use some application for lock the screen by tap the application's icon such as "screen off and lock" or "lock widget"
and you can unlock by home button also.

Oh, but what I meant was not that I want to lock/unlock without using the physical lock/power button. I'd like it to sustain its funcionality apart from the "hold" action when the screen is locked. It shouldn't open the window with flight mode/turn off etc. when the phone is locked. Do the mentioned above apps let me do this?

So there's no way to change the function of the power button?

The above applications can only lock your phone by tapping the screen, but to unlock without using the power button...mabye a developer can help you so he will make a lock application wich ignores the power button when the phone is locked and you could unlock it by pushing the home button(wich is harder to pres by mistake in your pocket).
Anyway, it could be a good application for Market, I dont think that you are the only person that has this problem.

Problems with power button instant lock when using "trusted devices" feature

Problems with power button instant lock when using "trusted devices" feature
Im having an issue with locking my phone's screen. I have the option checked to instantly lock the phone when the power button is pressed. I need it to work this way so the phone is locked as soon as press the power button and put the phone in my pocket.
Well when i enabled the "trusted devices" feature the screen no longer locks instantly when i press the power button. This is causing my phone to come on in my pocket frequently.
I dont get it. The trusted devices feature is simply supposed to bypass my pattern lock when my Pebble Watch is connected. It is not supposed to stop the phone from locking the screen at all.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

I am having the opposite problem, but maybe I don't understand the settings. I have a pattern password on my device, I have a bluetooth usb in my desktop at home and I have it listed as a trusted device in my BT settings on the phone. When I hit the power button the screen locks but when I go to wake the device (sitting right at my computer the whole time) I get the pattern password screen. I thought it was supposed to bypass that if I set my PC as a trusted device. Any ideas?

Smart Lock disable swipe to unlock

on my older phones (xperia xz1) there was an option to disable the lockscreen at all if the device is unlocked by the smartlock. this way i only need to press the powerbutton to get to the homescreen.
was i could not find any settings or apps: anyone knows a way to disable the lockscreen while smartlock has the device unlocked?

I have a Note 9 (SM-N960F) model.
Stock Firmware, no root.
Using Nova Prime launcher.
I have Fingerprint unlock and Smart lock enabled.
If i pick my phone up from sleep (locked)
i either press/swipe down
where my Home button (not visible) should be and phone goes directly to Homescreen.
Otherwise, i use Fingerprint unlockfrom "sleep" directly to home screen.
No need to press power button.
I'm sure this is better options.?
Only if you reboot phone or randomly sometimes (it's a security measure) I have to manually unlock.

This is the exact problem
Of your phone is already unlocked you still need to swipe up. I don't want to see any lockscreens at all. Why is this even implemented this way.
What I want is being able to use the phone without any unnecessary swiping after pressing the power button. (Razer phone 2 and Sony had an option for this)

i think you misunderstood my point.
I was trying to describe my button press action.
You don't actually swipe nothing.
You don't see the lockscreen, at all.
Call it press etc,
where the home button is.
It unlocks to Desktop.
You don't see the lockscreen at all.
From device sleep,
i "press " Home button
and device goes straight to Desktop.
Fingerprint it's the same. It goes straight to the Desktop.,
( You don't see a lockscreen)
Good luck

Yeah i got it
But that's the problem: you still need to swipe up the lockscreens if you try to unlock by the power button. Unlocking via Iris or fingerprint or pressing the invisible home button world great and you skip the lockscreens completely. But after pressing the power button the is 1 more action that is needed.
On the screenshot you can see (in German) "unlocked by smart lock" after trying to unlock with the power button

dont use the power button.
use the finger print or home button in conjunction with smart lock policy.
you'll get better milage off of the power button this way.

Yeah... Don't use the power button...
No sorry not an option ^^

Is one of the reason I don't use it, and also because I don't know the effective range.
But leaving the home button enable requires to let the "screen touch sensor" active so it will inevitably consume more battery am I wrong?

Are you on Oreo or Pie?
On Pie, this works fine for me. I press the power button, it unlocks with intelligent unlock and goes directly to the home screen/last app. No swipe needed. Does the same when I press the hard press home button.
If you're on Oreo, do what bober10113 says.

I am on Pie, and I am constantly getting the lock screen where it says unlocked by smart lock, but I still have to swipe.

Fingerprint Unlock

Do you observe that sometimes the fingerprint scanner is not enabled? You have to press power button and scan your fingerprint. To make it functional, you have to enable/disable fingerprint unlock in settings. I am using ROG Phone 2 Tencent.

Go to fingerprint settings/unlock device. Under the heading "Unlock device when screen is off"
- Turn on "Screen off unlock" option. If you like you can also turn on the other options but Screen off unlock is enough i think.

Sometimes it does not work. You have to press power button before you can scan fingerprint.

It works for me either double tap or swipe and the fingeeprint scanner will light up.
