OK, is anyone aware of a way to get the following lock screen behavior? (I do not care if it is a combination of registry hacks, 3rd party apps, whatever) I have been trying for almost a whole day now after upgrading to 3.14 ROM, and cannot get it right

Desired Behavior

:

Phone wakes up from a reboot:

- Password required​

Power button is pressed

- Screen is turned off

- When any key pressed, slider screen shown

- No password required​

When Power button is held down and 'Lock Device' selected

- Screen is turned off

- When any key pressed, slider screen shown

- Password required after sliding​

When 'Lock after X minutes' expires (whether screen is off or on)

- Screen is turned off

- When any key pressed, slider screen shown

- Password required after sliding​

Thanks in advance!

@bobthemad

I don't think that is possible, neither in HTC Lock Settings nor in WinMo Lock Settings. Unsure about 3rd party solutions tho. Afaik the option is lockscreen with pin or without pin. Even the Timer seems not to work corectly.

Now, my own issue. Not asking for a solution, i can read and what i read is frustrating, makes we want a different phone. I am using a standard HD2 with Duttys ROM V12 and currently there seems not to be a solution. I will complain to HTC alltho they will most likely blame it on custom ROM's. Migh even be right. I don't know.

U guess it already. my phone locked me out. how? well, next guess? installed swype 3.19.20.20.6343 - the very build mentioned as a bugfix here.

i am not on exchange policies.

i have never had the issue before.

neither on the stock HTC-ROM nor on Dutty's ROM

What gets me thinking: most people actually DID something with their phone before it happened. Only a few didn't and i actually think they might also have changed something relevant, maybe without remembering it.

a few people described this as connected to exchange security policies somehow. a few people described swype, one Garmin. interestingly all descriptions hint at the same thing: something gets ****ed up with either the input method or with the already saved password. either way - i believe that there is need of a very essential change of code within the protection system of winmo or htc's own software, because it should not be possible for third party apps to interfere that badly with a very essential feature.

That will most likely need some serious professional debugging procedure to find the actual cause of the problem.

since we all assume that HTC is not doing much about it someone here on the forum capable of monitoring, auditing software should maybe attempt to find the cause.

i think if someone tries to audit a swype installation it might fruit some results since it looks like a very reproducable situation. while writing this i am actually thinking about recreating the same situation to see if it is indeed a reproducable situation. but now i just set up everything again and i hate doing it again...

i will contact htc with this once new years went past.

so long...

nothing special, but locked

Hi,

no special install for me. Just an experience with a first second hand hd2 for 2 weeks with a lock password and no bad surprise (win 6.5.x) , but I broke glass & touch screen, so I got a second brand new one.

This one i got for 2 days (win 6.5) and put the same conf than the first one.

I restored an sms backup from an ancient htc 3g, and the hd2 got really slowed down by the >2000 restored sms. I spent some time to clean up and delete half of this sms-mess. Just before night, the hd2 showed me the win-lock screen, even if it was the manila one i choosed and used all day long.

Shut down the phone for the night, and this morning the 'wrong password' loop finished in a hard reset.

No oriental character set (the phone is in french), and no patch/no new rom.

sys: 5.2.21869

rom: 1.66.406.1 (7664) FRE

manila: 2.5.19211619.0

I use outlook, but via webmail.

I REALLY need to pass-lock my phone, and I can't possibly backup every 2 days+reinstall all apps+restore.

Thanks everybody for your help
[HD2 General] rkrims:
Not quite exactly but with Pocketshield you can opt to either simply lock or lock with password. It has an action screen you can bind to a shortcut or to a hardkey. More info here http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=152620734772808
[HD2 General] mondorondo:
phono lock problem

I'm ok with those desired behaviors, but here the problem (and title of the thread) is "Phone lock problem".

If we lock the HD2 with a password, the HD2 forget this password after a while or do whatever he wants with the password you choose, tells you that your password is wrong, and let you with no other choice than an hard reset (with the complete backup recovery and necessary reinstall)

This is a bug and nobody has a clear answer to that.

Please don't tell us that nobody needs a password, neither how the slider is annoying when you lock with a password (even if IT IS annoying).

Thanks
[HD2 General] sharvil:
please help!!

hey,

i have htc hd2..i have a lock code for my cel..yesterday i changed the sim without switching off the cel..now its not getting unlocked..i know the lock code..what happened??

please help.

[HD2 General] LPJR:
Locked out.

Same problem. I know the pass code, however, it does not work. Very annoying. Amazed this problem has not been resolved. Dreading hard reset.
[HD2 General] OverSizedGrunt:
Same problem Here! I seriously do not want to Hard reset because i will lose a hundred or so contacts and lots of important messages, and i cant back them up because my USB connection is only set to access the SD card on the computer (trying Android hacks). Anyway to change the USB connection type back so i can access my contacts etc. on my phone??

Thanks :p

I m finding problem with my handset that after i recieve any call or dial my phone gets hang for 5 to 10 mins and then if screen gets lock even tht opens after 5mins..... I flashed the rom twice but then too facing same problem.... Can any one help me how to come out of this.....
[HD2 General] bjk888:
For me this was the solution:

In BSB tweaks I changed the auto lock from on to off.

Then the settings works correct in the security settings.

I don't have to fill in the password each time anymore but only after 15 minutes.

I hope that this helps for you too!!!
[HD2 General] gasanpride:
OK I think I found the solution..

1. Disable Auto Screen Lock first from Tip 27

If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.

Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab:

http://xdaforums.com/atta...2&d=1258236796 thanks to triperko.

then

2. Try this app http://www.pocketshield.net/

Works for me - to the desired behavior above. Especially if you have work Exchange Email or work Good Messaging email installed.

[HD2 General] glenner05:
Very happy with my new HD2. However i have a problem with my push gmail, or maybe it is an exchange problem in general, don't know. When i set up an exchange account with google server, i should be able to recieve push email, sync my calender and contacts and so on. On my previous phone (samsung omnia2) it worked like a charm. Somebody sends my an email on my gmail adres, and within 30 secs i received the mail. Same with outlook calender, it synced immediately.

With my HD2 (rom version 1.43.404.1 NLD) my mails don't arrive instantly! sometimes it takes over two houres before i receive something. Same with calender and contacts. I tried a hard reset of my device. First thing afterwards was settingup google exchange, and it worked again. Then i added a second mail account, set this account to auto receive every two houres and the problem with the exchange account comes back! the strange thing is when i watch my active sync status on my phone, it says connected, and when i send a mail from my pc, a couple of seconds later i see activesync syncing, like its receiving the mail, but it doesn't show in my mailbox, no poppup, nothing... only few houres later, suddenly i get the mail...

my exchange account is set to 'receive on arrival of items' should be push, also, comm manager says push activated....

sounds familiar to anybody?
[HD2 General] NZtechfreak:
I think this was a problem on gmails end yesterday, bearing in mind that gmail push is in beta. I had the same on my i8910, where previously gmail push was working perfectly.
[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
I will get mine one day this week hopefully and will try as soon as. Hope it does work, pointless if not!

Use ise it since Friday and never withnissed something like this....

Everything is in 15sec on my deviece.
[HD2 General] glenner05:
and do you have a second, normal email account? It's from the moment i created the second account i ran into trouble...
[HD2 General] br3nt:
tried reverse order? email first then exchange?

maybe after a hard-reset :)
[HD2 General] Tomo1340:
I haven't got a HD2 but on my TP if I go out of coverage area for a time and then come back in, my activesync doesn't always reconnect. Saying that I have noticed it a lot less since banging a 6.5 rom on there. I have to add I am not using google sync, I am using fast hosts. I am going to migrate to google sync after this month to save some pennies so I hope it works good by then.
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
I ONLY have google exchange sync, it synched my calendar and contacts in seconds, and the e-mail FOLDERs, but not a single message. i left it 8 hours... (i've checked the messages to only do 1 week, 3 days, whatever)

i've tried soft reseting, two hard resets, ONLY e-mail, no e-mail, toggling e-mail. it will not retrieve any messages. in the end im using IMAP but its very frustrating/!

anyone got any other suggestions?

-------

oh and to add insult to injury my iphone 3GS is sitting here merrily binging away everytime i get en e-mail!
[HD2 General] daleski75:
If you are doing a send/receive for a folder this will not work you have to select the folders to sync by putting a tickbox in each one and then let it do its stuff.

Before I did this on mine all I saw was folders and no content (apart from the inbox)

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
but i just want my inbox to sync? which it does not.. and there is no checkbox next to that one, its in bold, which i assume means that one has to sync by default?
[HD2 General] glenner05:
for me it does work right now. My solution was to delete my windows PC active sync connection. before, i synced with windows to get my contacts and calender, and then afterwards i set up my exchange connection. But from the moment i deleted the Windows PC connection, and working only with exchange everything works pefectly! Even created a second pop email account, refreshing every two houres, my push connection still works fine....
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
Ok, i figured out my issue, and im surprise dit isnt documented anywher eon google,i found it on one of their forums and a member there discovered it, not a google Mod.

If you have subfolder under your inbox, it wont work.

i.e. if you have any "/" in your google mail labels (which is how GMAIL sets itself up if you use outlookwith IMAP on it),then it wont sync

i had sub folder sin outlook, so in gmail they becme labels such as:

Inbox/Ebay

Inbox/personal

and the "/" trips up the exchange sync. which seems very strange considering that the phone correctly recognises them as labels.
[HD2 General] finlay777:
So it means that there is no way it will sync the emails under these labels?
[HD2 General] NZtechfreak:
I tried re-entering my details yesterday, after having it on hourly retrieval for a few days. Now sync appears to be working fine, from others reporting similar it looks like Google was doing some work on it for a few days that was breaking new sync setups.

While I was flashing a hero rom, I accidentally chose restore nandroid backup and aborted in the middle when i was in cyanogen's recovery. So I wiped, partitioned, wiped, and flashed. The Rom flashed successfully but I can't connect to any data networks.

It shows the APN I'm using is epc.tmobile.com but there's no icon (3g or EDGE) next to the bars on the top that show my signal; I cannot do anything that requires a data network (can't browse the net). Please help me. Under settings where it shows network operators, it shows select a network operator no matter how many times i choose t-mobile. I already re-flashed the radio again too (2.22.19.26).

I reflashed 3 different roms already, hero and donut roms. Everytime, i can't get into any data networks. I should add that in the apn list there's never more than 2 apn's (both epc.tmobile.com) Any other ideas? Thanks, any help is appreciated.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
In fact, to see a disc on the desktop of your Mac, you should connect your X1

to your Mac not in the Active Sync mode, but in the disc drive mode. Check

and change your settings, if necessary.

Depending on your ROM and settings, the options pop up as soon as you

connect, in other cases, go to settings, personal, USB to PC. There you find the settings.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] firestorm126:
Hi,

I've recently HardSPL'd my phone and installed EnergyROM Photon. The one thing I am missing from the stock ROM is the program/app called "Text Message Retry." It used to attempt to resend my SMS's if they didn't go through, now they are just dumped into "Drafts" and it doesn't try again. This was very useful since my work environment (networking equipment lab) has spotty service in some locations. Could anyone/has anyone seen a *.cab for this? I'm thinking about seeing if I could use SK Tools to pull it from the stock, via reflashing to stock and making it from there. However, I'm not sure if I could use SK tools to make a .cab from something preinstalled.

Any advice would be appreciated...

Also if there is another program out there that would do that same thing that would work too.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] snovvman:
I presume your carrier is Verizon? I have seen this on a Verizon TP (1). I tried to extract it and run it on a Sprint phone but no joy.

I too, would like to see an "auto retry" solution for failed SMS.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] firestorm126:
That is correct, I'm using a Verizon TP2. I actually found one late last night, it was said to have been from a Samsung Omnia but it looks the same as the one I had, minus the icon. I've not seen if it works yet, so far no missed SMS's today.

It is located:

I might go wander around and try to test it but we've been busy today.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] firestorm126:
I discovered that in 6.5 it is included as a service. I think it should be running on everyone's phone so I kinda gave up working on it. The reason it came in the stock VZW ROM was because that was 6.1

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thresher:
This happens to me occasionally, I had never used activesync to try to resolve it so I am unsure. I had problems with POP so I changed to their IMAP mobile and haven't had an issue since. I always thought it was a conflict with too many concurrent logins occurring.

[General Questions and Answers] LooieENG:
Will the Android ever even come close to OSX for games? Is there anything the iPhone can do that the Hero or any other Android devices can't?

The reason I'm asking is because OSX just has so many more games which all take advantage of the iPhone's hardware, whereas Android doesn't. Is it because not all Android phones have the right features?

Anyway, one of the main reasons I asked is there's a lot of popular games for OSX that I'd have thought would be ported to Android (Namely Paper Toss :p) and it got me thinking about whether it was hardware related...

After running Streamfurious for a few hours today my internal memory is totally full, and Apps manager doesn't have a a "clear cache" option for this app.

Streamfurious memory issues

I have been happily running StreamFurious Pro on my G1 for several months, with almost no problems. However, in the past couple weeks Streamfurious has been very flaky. It just quits after a few minutes. If I try to restart it more than 2 or 3 times, it crashes. I keep getting low memory messages from the G1. When I review the applications, Streamfurious takes up more than 128 MB! The next closest is about 2.3 MB. Usually the cache is around 25MB. Clearing it does not seem to help at all.

If I don't hear anything or get an update, i looks like I will have to give up on Streamfurious, which is really too bad because it has been a very reliable workhorse up until this month. If this problem is resolved I will post the news.
[G1 Apps and Games] highvista:
I saw the same memory-filling behavior a few days ago. It was soon after receiving an update for the free version of StreamFurious. I think this update was a mistake by the dev, since it had the advanced features I assume came from the full pay version. When it ate all my internal memory, I deleted the app and then re-installed from the Market. It was fine after that, though not long after this, the dev posted another update that took away the pay features again. It's been fairly stable since, though maybe a bit more prone to dropping active streams.
[G1 Apps and Games] sstrauss:
I was using the pro version, but it recently stopped working correctly. Is there a way to install an older version?

Thanks highvista - uninstalling and reinstalling did help. Still, Streamfurious is nothing like it used to be. Now it is always dropping the stream.

[G1 Apps and Games] Blade10:
I used streamfurious a long time. Im having the same issues and reached the point of uninstalling it.

Someone on the market (under the streamfurious comments, of all things) suggested "Cherry Rplayer". Its free.

[G1 Apps and Games] lkview:
Blade10,

Thanks for the recommendation for Cherry Rplayer. I will reserve final judgement until after several days of testing, but so far, so good. It appears to be vastly superior to Streamfurious. Not a single dropout. And it works perfectly with custom URLs and AAC, two of my most important requirements. Thanks again for jumping in and letting me know.

The author released a new version of streamfurious last night that supposedly reverts back to the old streaming engine. I haven't tried it yet to confirm.
