I had version 1.0 and just updated to 1.2. I really like the quick unlock with vibrate which works well with the 8525 and WM6, however.

I do note one problem, if you turn on the phone, it's showing the locked screen, should you move the scroll wheel at all, the phone vibrates but remains locked. Now to unlock, you must now do the normal 2 press touch screen unlock, it's terminating the lock program somehow.

How about a fix for German device?

I really would like to have the easy unlock funktion working.

Great program anyway.

Feature Request

I have an 8525 that I've installed the PTT function hacked v1.06. This enables me to assign the PTT button to two different applications based on how the button is pushed (i.e. Push and Hold or just a push). I've assigned DeviceLock 1.2 to activate when the PTT button is Pushed and Held. I've done this to prevent inadvertant locking due to an accidental push of the PTT.

The feature that I would like to have is the ability to unlock the device by repeating the same action that locked it in the first place.

In other words, If the device is unlocked, pushing and holding the PTT button would lock the device. If the device is currently locked, pushing and holding the PTT button would unlock the device.

Would it be possible to make to program recognize if the device is currently locked or not and then toggle the lock status to the opposite of what it currently is when executed?

Thanks,

John

Delete the Cab file once installed

Can I delete the CAB file once the program is installed on my 8525? Will Device Lock still work?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LordDeath:
this one will not work anymore, but the built-in devicelock will still work.

edit: no wrong: the cab itself can be removed after its installation :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jonathankavner:
Are you also having the problem where the program stops functioning? Running the Device Lock program whether from the program menu or set to the PTT btton doesn't do anything now and there is now Device Lock under settings.

The screen blanks nice, but dows not come back after unlock...

The application is a godsent as I have issues with my wizard when it goes into hibernation (it switches off after some time in hibernation). So this blank screen option gives me a great way to save power as I disable hibernation.

However when I unlock, it unlocks and vibrates, but the device stays blanked out till I press the power button once. This is annoying. Is there a workaround as Im worried about screwing up the power button by pressing it so many times a day !!!

Strange LED Behavior when Locked/Suspended

I have a Sprint 6800/Mogul (WM6) I am using the device lock and have it assigned to a hardware button to suspend and lock the screen. I also have it set for the easy unlock.

When an email comes in my LED flashes orange for about 5-10 times then it returns to the flashing green LED. If I just power down the phone and don't enable the device lock the LED flashes orange until I dismiss the alert like it should.

Other than this, the lock works great. Has anyone else experienced this LED issue?

Works perfectly

Hi, I read there many negative replies from the last 2 months but I must say that the program works perfectly for me. I have Mio A701 and the only issue with this program is, that the unlock button cannot be configured to be assigned to any HW button. My Mio has not the same HW buttons as the device it was developed for. So I have to press the SW button on the left bottom corner of the screen. I use easy unlock so no more key presses are needed. Besides of this issue the program has many advantages in comparison with the builtin device lock: no need to waste space on the today screen, possibility to invoke locking by pressing HW button, or by pressing an icon on today screen (if you use any today screen launcher with big icons ... I use free claunch), easier unlocking, no need to use stylus for lock/unlock. Automatic invocation on wake up works perfectly on my Mio, so I have set the shortest time 1 minute to turn my Mio into sleep mode, if it runs on battery.

The very important thing to make it working well is NOT to select "Auto lock when device turns off" on the Settings | Power | Advanced dialog (for WM5). But that was already pointed by Matt on this forum.

THANKS Matt, I am very satisfied!

Slide 2 Unlock on Athena

Does someone know how to make working Slide 2 Unlock on athena with wm6 ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kurvenal:
I just installed DeviceLock on an Athena with WM6. I want to turn off the display (Blank Screen seems to fit the bill) and lock all buttons except the power button, but not necessarily lock the device. I tried Easy Unlock but I still need to tap the screen or type "*", so two steps. Ideally what I would like is something similar to DisplayToggle in VJDeviceLock, but which also locked all buttons except the power button, ie a one-step unlock from having the display off. This is for use with Memory Map's PocketNavigator, which disables auto power-off so that the GPS tracking data is not interrupted.

Any suggestions? DisplayOff in VJDeviceLock comes close but for some reason on the Athena it cycles through the Today screen when turning off the display, so that I do not return to PocketNavigator when I hit the Power button again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johnny--2k:
armstrom....

I'm having a problem with your program. Everytime I lock the device, it prompts me for a password before unlock, so I hit "password" and then unlock shows up right away, so I dont have to actually enter a password, but it's one extra key press for no apparent reason.

Any suggestions?

error message

This had been driving me nuts for weeks!

I tried everything including a hard reset and I would get the error message multiple times a day. Plus there would be multiple messages on the screen at once. To close them they had to be moved around the screen with the stylus and closed in order.

What I finally hit on was that when I adjusted my autosync settings to get my email manually I never got a message again.

I am not sure why this worked, but I did notice that I seemed to get error messages when my phone signal was weak or non existant and my phone was looking to sync with my mail server.

Though now I don't know immediately when I receive new email, I don't get any errors. I end up manually sending and receiving many times during the day (but it is at times that I have time to read my email).

I think the trade off is worth it, since without device lock I would accidently make calls at very bad times (and it usually was very embarrassing :eek: )

hope this helps

Hello is this program being still being developed? Only ask because I don't see anything happening for awhile.

If so would it be possible to implement a screen blank/lock during a phone call so we don't make accidental taps during a call (I have had the phone switch off during a call because of this).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazyC:
Did anyone get to the bottom of why this just stops working after a little while and only a SR seems to cure it? (the WM6 today plugin still works, as does the link to the WM6 lock device through HTC Home launcher). I wish to map this a hardware button, but then it just stops having any effect. Clicking it via programs has no effect either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
I have the same issue, but for me SR does not work but manually working does. Wonderinf if this is due to the WM6 ROM.

Matt, I first want to say I've been using your program for many years now with no issues at all. It's been a cornerstone of my ppc usage since the 6600. you've done a great job.

Now that I've upgraded to the ppc6800, I too am experiencing this same issue. I only have the program set to "lock on wake". It works for about 5-10 wake events, but then no longer locks the phone when woken up. I have not been able to narrow down why this is happening.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Try this at less that 100k it works great, but also is not being developed further. But at least it works fine on my 6700 with WM6.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mi|enko:
Is there anyway to have the top power button lock/suspend and then hit to turn on and unlock again? Because that would be awesome for me. To just have to hit that button the lock it, and then the power button and single unlock button to restore.

Edit. Well, I'm doin' something similar. I have device lock on the voicecommand key, so I just hit that right quick when I'm done with the phone.

Hi,

I try out DeviceLock on my Dopod 838pro with WM6.

Can some post the cab file here. I can't download it anymore
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jac:
Need someone to point me in the right direction

Here is what I'm trying to accomplish:

I want to enable only 2 hardware buttons to wake (only) my phone.

1. Power Button

2. PTT Button

This way I can use VC 1.6 with out taking out my phone out of its holster to turn it on. (I have VC 1.6 assigned to PTT button)

Presently I only have these options: Power Only button or All buttons active to wake the phone.

And I'm trying not to use passwords to unlock if possible....Would kind of defeat the purpose...

PS: I've thought about mapping the VC 1.6 to the comm button, however PTT is the easiest to find while driving, but is on the opposite side of the phone, thus my dilemma.

Is this possible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] varvocel:
Hi,

First of all I want to thank for DeviceLock. It is what I was looking for - small and fast locking program.

I have one problem (and question). When I run Device Lock to start after wakeup it works strange - doesn't work if I switch PDA off with Power button, but works if I power off with program button - I use Pocket Plus for this. I've tried S2U2 and it works inversely - OK with hardware button, not works with SPB Pocket Plus shortcut.

Maybe somebody could check this out with HTC Artemis (P3300) with WM6 official upgrade.

Thanks

I'm having a problem with DeviceLock. When I get up in the morning and have unread email messages, text messages, etc., I notice that my sceen looks scrambled and my phone is frozen (I would take a screenshot if I could but I can't). Basically my device is awake and on the charger like it is every morning, but I can't do anything with my phone and certain text on the screen looks scambled. I uninstalled DeviceLock and that problem went away. Any ideas?

the lock on wakeup works and it's a great option for me.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrmikemcguire:
so i know this thread is a bit older but a couple questions. Currently i have a wing with wm6 and pdaviet touchflo rom installed. I installed the lockdevice cab and soft reseted. My problem is consistant with a couple post previously but here is the issue. Upon configuring what i want the lock to do it still prompts me the tap unlock on the screen so the easylock is not working for me. Is it a compatibility problem? If it can be corrected i also wanted to set it up so when i hold the the button (normally voice record) it would lock the phone. it works for the other soft keys but not this button. In my buttons window it does show that I have device lock selected for that button but it still pulls up an error about voice record. Any way to get this working through that button?.....or working at all? The single lock and unlock without touching the screen is super valuable to me...

any help is appreciated

thanks in advance!

How to uninstall it ?

Hello all,

do you mind to help me how to uninstall it completely ? After uninstallation the wake up still wants to run DeviceLock.exe which is missing now. The power button (wake up) is still mapped to the app. I want to uninstall it because sometime when I woke up the device I get message about Could not run DeviceLock.exe which is anoying.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] varvocel:
I think it's in notification queue, not mapped to power button. You could remove it from queue with any NQ tool like SKTools.

Request : option to activate the in-built password protection on demand

Hi,

Is it possible to add an option to DeviceLock to activate the in-built password protection on demand, for example devicelock.exe will simply lock the device as usual and devicelock.exe /password will lock the device with the in-built password protection instead ?

This is a great feature, but I didn't find any software on the Web to do this, like it is discussed on this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=235246

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] unicorn78:
I wish Amstrom will release a version for WM6, the software can turn off the display when playing music and it can show the clock about 5 seconds when press a button. Unlock by pressing two buttons at a same time, these buttons can be configurable, something like deltalock.

I Installed this and added it to my PTT button (push and hold)

Thats part works fine....

(I have easy unlock with vibe and Black Screen enabled | KeyLock settings are Lock all keys except Power Button)

So after locking it by holding my PTT button down.

If I hold PTT again... It vibes and then when I wake AT&T Tilt up from the suspend or black sreen it initates the 2 button unlock method... Any clue???

Thank you very much for this app, it works pretty good other than that.

Its minor thing (2 touch unlock doesn't bother me to much)

I think I have a simlar problem as him...^ (Except mine only happens with the PTT button as discussed above)

This would be an excelent feature.

Wow, that's exactly what I've searched - small and functional! :)

But after some tests, I've discovered a problem:

Sometimes when I wake up my phone there's an error message which says something like '[...] DeviceLock.exe could not be started / run'. The Message ist anoying and strange because the device is locked - only the 'easy unlock' option does not function when i try to unlock it.

Until now I couldn't find the reason why this message appears or at least reproduce it. :(

-> enabled 'Lock on Wake'

-> enabled 'Easy Unlock' with 'Vibrate on Unlock'

the other options are disabled. I'm running WM6 on a Hermes...

One question-- will push email still pull down while the device is suspended?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] armstrom:
I want to thank everyone who has given feedback on the app. I must also apologize for my absence. My wizard took a crap on me and my "real job" got very crazy, leaving me no time to work on my WM apps. Now I'm back equipped with a WM6 Sprint Mogul and I will try to address as many of the reported issues as I can. I can't guarnantee fixes for everything though.

1) Screen blanking problems: The screen blank option uses a low-level video card command that may or may not work on all hardware. I will search for an alternative method for blanking the screen.

2) Easy Unlock : I have already identified a problem with phones running languages other than English. I have a solution for this but have not had a chance to implement it. I will make this a priority for any future releases.

3) Errors when waking up the device: "cannot run DeviceLock.exe blah blah.." This is a tricky one. As others have pointed out I'm using notifications from the OS to run DeviceLock when the device wakes up. These notifications are not stored in any convenient location (like the registry) so it's very difficult to clean them up on uninstall. I suggest making sure the Lock on Wake option is unchecked before uninstalling the app. Failing that, you can use a tool like MemMaid to clean up the notification.

Again, sorry for my absence, I will try to get these problems cleared up if at all possible. Stay tuned.

One of the ways you can go about removing this error is to reinstall the program, activate lock on wake. restart the device. unactivate lock on wake, restart the device and uninstall....should clear the problem.

Alternatively, try removing PhoneScrlock_start in your startup folder, it should also be the same. might be a bit of extra work...but then again there might be an easier way.maybe someone can help?

I have the same problem. However "lock on wake" works for incoming calls(my phone likes to pick those up) - except it crashes certain programs (SPB Time Alarms) on my phone.

One thing I've done on my Tilt (TyTn II) is map the red (end) key long-press to DeviceLock. This way when I go to store it in my pocket, I can just press that to suspend the device instead of the power button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mtn_lion:
Same as mwiberg, except I'm getting "Cannot execute \"Program Files\Lock\DeviceLock.exe" and "Cannot execute repllog.exe" several times/day. After reading this forum, I used MemMaid (not SKTools) to delete the notification for devicelock, un-checked Lock on Wake, soft reset the device, then checked Lock on Wake. No joy.

Previously I've had a few different alarm programs (Chronos, enAlarm, pTravelAlarm) and another device locking program installed, then uninstalled, so I'm wondering if this is expected behavior from DeviceLock or if there's some other confusion under the hood. Please don't say "hard reset." My career won't survive another day slaughtered playing with the handheld ;-)

I love this app...but not the constant error messages.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smittyofdhs:
