I think that's an awesome idea... Had to read through your description twice before I caught exactly what you meant though... :D

By this, you mean if anything causes the device to wake up while locked, you have 15 seconds (for example) to unlock the device before the backlight turns off again? Perhaps setting the timer to only watch for the lock status would be simpler and more effective. That way, even if the user turns the backlight on while locked, they will have 15 or 20 seconds to unlock it before the backlight automatically turns off again, regardless of power settings...

I'd be willing to test that for you if you want. :D Sounds very handy...

Wow! You app is doing exactly was I was expecting, and it does it really well!

I also have a TP2 and I was really annoyed because it was living its own life in my pocket; now it is not the case anymore.

My phone does not lock unless I turn it off using the power button, which I never do. 90% of the time I use the "Suspend" option in AEButtons, which is mapped to hitting the End button twice. Or the 'Suspend' program in PHM Tools, which I have assigned to my right-softkey and hit it from the Today screen. Neither one locks using LockDevice.

The first post makes me think I can make a selection between lock on suspend or lock on screen off, but I find no such GUI... I modified one of the Shortcuts created in the Start menu to include "screenoff" as indicated in the examples, but still it does not lock on screen off.

What am I missing? I like S2U2 but at 3.2M of ram and the occasional time where it seems to be using additional resources on top of that I'm looking into alternatives.

Loving the program so far, running a stock Touch Pro2 with verizon here. I noticed however if I am in the touchflo 3d txt messaging and lock the screen whenever I turn the screen back on I am always back at the home screen. I tried with the windows messaging and it will open right back up to where I turned the screen off at. (actually a lot of the tf3d will get kicked back to the home screen)

Daniel Herrero !

This app is great! You helped me a lot with this.

Yesterday I found an another great app. When you launch it, it triggers the PIN-lock immediatly. And it's great. I think it would be absolutely awesome if You would add a function like this to your LockDevice app.

You Are The Man!

Phone doesn't lock on screen dim.

For some reason my phone does not lock on screen dim anymore.

No idea what;s causing this behaviour, it worked perfect with my previous wm6.5.3 rom.

Using Shep's 28009 version, any idea what's causing this?

Thanks...

Unlocking automatically when device is powered via USB (=> cradle, car) may also be a useful option.

I'm struggling with an issue never described here, hopefully someone can help me: I cannot have the device unlocked permanently. Even if I uncheck the "Enabled" checkbox it locks everytime when it's switched on. Same result after executing "DisableLock". Behaviour is exactly same, no matter if I choose "Lock on Wakeup" or "Lock on Screen Off". In both cases it's locked immediately, without any delay. Even uninstallation and new installation of LockDevice didn't help. Can I clean this up through the registry?

Some background information to that topic: it's a HTC TP2, German version without branding, LockDevice rev. 1.6. I used S2Us before and uninstalled it because it's huge battery drain. For a few days both - S2U2 and LockDevice - had been installed the same time. Hopefully that's not the root cause of my trouble.

Any idea for a solution?

Hi there,

really a nice app, but making calls with bluetooth is hard to handle.

Would appreciate an option to keep the device locked, when BT is in and a call comes in.

Thanks.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ron-tx:
Checked all the postings and didn't see a tweak for this...

I have the windows PIN lock turned on, but I like the way this program works to lock the phone when you click to top screen off button. However it's annoying to have to slide the unlock button and enter the Windows lock PIN.

Is there a way to just have the Windows lock screen come up on power up and bypass the slide unlock screen?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ciedric:
Is it possible to activate your lock screen by clicking on the sleep button? (Just like S2U2) At this moment I've got it the original way by holding the end call button. Wich settings do I need?

I'm using a stock win 6.5 ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] championc:
I just installed this. It was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted my TP2 to lock when then the screen turned off. The bonus for me is that if I turn the screen off myself, it locks the TP2. Therefore, this gets rid of the need to have any key mapped to lock your PDA.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xtwister161:
I've used this lock for a week now along with mightyrom on TP2, use it in "Lock on Screen Off" mode, but I realized 1 thing. If I don't turn the screen off (press top button), the screen never turn off by itself! I want the phone to go to standby after a couple of minutes if I dont do it my self by pressing the top button.

Anyone got any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaLiTHkA:
Check your Backlight and Power settings (Start > Settings > System); you might find the default settings in your custom ROM prevent the screen from turning off completely on it's own.

I know the standard lock uses this.

I've got a Topaz so no problem with that!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaLiTHkA:
Do you mean the standard lock or the backlight? As far as I know, LockDevice simply works by invoking the standard WM lock screen, it doesn't add another screen (such as S2U2). :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BruthazKeepah:

Does anyone has v1.5? Because of the nice in-call lock screen for wm6.5 I actually would prefer to keep the in-call lock function.

Or is it possible make in-call lock as a feature that user can choose to turn on/off?

BTW, this works great with Tmo touch pro2 with stock wm6.5 rom. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shumilica:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
Thank you. I have tried this but there was a strange conflict:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624875

Then I tried CSDevCtrl, which actually worked better, but when the memory usage gets high (< 45 mb free) it won't lock automatically. Another annoying thing of CSDevCtrl is that it tries to lock when I'm use the video cam.

So I looked for other alternatives and found devicelock, which worked fine so far (for two days), except I'm trying to achieve the in-call lock function. It's just for the looks as the proximity sensor of Touch Pro2 takes care of the screen anyways.

Double lock problem

Does anyone else have the double lock problem? Sometimes when I unlock the phone gets locked quickly and I have to unlock again, especially when the memory usage gets high. With the WM6.5 slide to unlock screen it doesn't bother me that much but just curious if anyone else have the same problem.

Besides the double lock actually provided the in-call lock I was looking for as after I answer the incoming call, the second lock would act as in-call lock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djkasmic:
i've got the same problem with the double lock.

i tried smartlock several times, but after a few hours using the device the phone isn't locked anymore.

with lockdevice the phone is always locked. sometimes twice ;-))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ciedric:
Sometimes it's even locked just after starting up the device. When the usage gets high, it have some problems not wanting to unlock. I've got the most problems after a CleanRAM. LockDevice is in my exception list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
This double lock doesn't bother me as unlock in wm6.5 is so easy. This actually provided the most reliable lock when compared to smartlock and csdevctrl.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ciedric:
Tried the newest S2U2 but I got back quickly to LockDevice, it's king :)

Somethings to make it even more perfect!

- Show appointments even if they are marked for a whole day. WM 6.5 do not display appointments that are marked for a whole day.

- Show all appointments for today

- Show appointments for today and tomorrow

- Show alarm time or some kind of alarm logo

- Unlock when the stylus is pulled out

- Change background only in today screen

I know those thing can be done with S2U2 but I think this LockDevice is much more stable. I say keep up this good work and I hope you can change Lock Device to my needs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Badcam:
Will this program work with the HTC Snap 3G? I'd like the phone to autolock after, say 3 minutes, of non-use. I don't want to have to enter a PIN number every time to unlock it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hellohacka:
I have a question regarding the notification icons displayed in the bottom right of the lock screen.

SMS, Email, Clock icons are currently displayed on my lock screen..

Clicking the clock icon a balloon appears with details about the item.

Clicking the SMS or Email icons on the other hand nothing happens apart from the icons lighting up as they are touched. Is this normal? Shouldn't they also display more info without the need to unlock?

cheers.

HTC Tytn II

ROM: Shifu v.20

EDIT: Seems S2U2 is the default screen locker on my device and not LockDevice. I have since achieved the desired result by adjusting settings in S2U2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SouthernAtHeart:
Slider on bottom

Is it possible to adjust the slider to the middle or bottom? It would be a lot more convenient I think if it were on the bottom.

I, too, have noticed occasional times when I'd slide to unlock, and the slider would just go back to lock. ...I'd slide again and it would then unlock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ciedric:
Could you look at these points?

- Show appointments even if they are marked for a whole day. WM 6.5 do not display appointments that are marked for a whole day.

- Unlock when the stylus is pulled out

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Jonny-:
Guys, I think you're missing the point.

This activates the built-in windows lock-app on wake up. It's not a lock-app itself. You'll want to go somewhere else (eg S2U) if you want to configure what you see when locked/unlocking.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Correct :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ciedric:
True but. this app is more stable then S2U2 and usage less battery.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
But the standard windows built-in lock program doesnt allow to show those items. Well, maybe there is some internal way to configure what to show because some items are shown automatically....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SouthernAtHeart:
Is there a way to alter where the slider is? The bottom would be so much more convenient, but I'm not wanting another app like S2U2. Lots of bells and whistles means lots of extra little querks, I found that out with TouchLockPro.

But if there were a simple way to change the slider to the bottom without messing things up too much... ???

anyone know why the wm 6.5 dialer isnt appearing when the screen is locked and i get a call?

the htc dialer is coming over over the lockscreen...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phitsc:
Still my locking app of choice. If I could ask for one thing it would be to disable locking if the device is on external power (it's typically not in my pocket then ;))

But to say it again: very well done!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaLiTHkA:
That would be because the WM lock uses a different notification screen when you receive a call. That's the way MS set it up, so it can't really be changed..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr.Slimm:
Hello, my father has new HD2 with WM6.5 original ROM (east europe version) and the lock screen after wake up driving him crazy. I try this app, but there is still lockscreen after wake up :( Only thing that worked was changing lock screen between Win classic and the second option, but after reboot only few wake up/sleep actions and it is locking after wake up again. Any hint please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
soo possibly heres a couple thigns you can do to make this app even better yet still remain a light app

Firrst, if you coudl somehow put a timer on it so that when the screen shuts off theres lik a 60-90 second delay before it locks, that would be extremely helpful...for us people who send 500 texts a day :) the constant lock/unlock lock/unlock....gets pretty redundent especially if the person responds back quickly when your having a full convo...

Second, it might be helpful to have the option to automatically unlock the screen (or disable the locking feature?) if you physically press the hard button to turn the display back on (or possibly mapped to another button?)

both of these would make a simple awesome program even better....i'll already put my hand up to be a tester...

to be honest, i got used to S2U2

but i got this LockDevice with custom ROM, so i asked myself, why not.

now after a few days, I LOVE it. its so fast and lightweight. Also, it has tha same taskbar as in winmo, so no changing in taskbar icons when locking/ulocking.

only thing i miss from s2u2 is the option to show all apointments from one day, or simply put, more than one. I found myself constantly turning the phone on, unlocking it just to see whats next in my callendar.

if it is possible to display, maybe 5next appointments, or next 12hours, or appointments from the current day, this would be VERY helpful, and i hope it will be helpfull also for others.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skeene85:
Thanks, this program is great. I was using Chobit SmartLock, but that was unreliable -- I couldn't even get it to work after a fresh hard reset. I had to install it every time I reset the phone to get it to work again -- even "graceful" rebooting (holding power button and shutting down the slow way) caused it to quit working.

Your app works perfect, sans the cool "lock" sound effect, but I can live without effects... I prefer something that works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bgcngm:
Of course it doesn't change the taskbar icons... It just locks the device, but the lock screen is the builtin WM one.

For the reason explained above, that will never happen. The least you can have is a WM6.5 ROM with Lockscreen, where it will display some appointments because that's the default behavior of the "new style" lock screen.
