Did your screen stop locking itself?

well, I still have fingerkeyboard installed, but my lock just started working again for no known reason. I still liked it better when it didn't work though.

my autolock stopped when I installed Sbp mobile shell trial. Once uninstalled it never came back on. Hard reset fixed the problem.

You just reminded me of something. In the previous page I said...

You reminded me that I had actually just uninstalled the trial of G-alarm. Maybe this messes with the auto lock when uninstalling? Just a thought.

Yeah, a hard reset took care of it for me too

Dealing with the same situation: all of a sudden my phone auto lock just stopped working. Similar to obxKevin above, my autolock seemed to disappear right around the same time I experimented with G-alarm.

I've looked over the G-alarm cab setup file and it doesn't seem to change any registry entries that could affect the autolock. That coupled with me adjusting G-Alarm's settings (there's one to 'unlock the device') and ultimately un-installing the app has me thinking it's a coincidence.

Also, the regedit that the initial poster points to seems to be the windows autolock enabler. I thought the TF3D autolock we see was driven from somewhere inside manila. Could there be another registry key for the TF3D autolock we should be looking for????

Just FYI: I was able to restore my screen lock by installing the AutoLock Screen v. 1.7E cab. Think I picked it up from the XDA Forums but I've included it here for convenience. This cab seems to provide a little more control over the reg settings associated with the screen lock function.

Aftern install, you'll have a "Smart Lock" icon in Settings -> All Settings -> System. From there, you can select under what conditions you want the screen to lock. I only have "WM6.5 new lock" and "suspend lock" selected. Unchecking the "WM6.5 new lock" option gives you the old WM lock interface.

Add me to the list. Auto-Lock no longer works. Haven't done anything to the phone in several days. One thing of note is that I was on the phone last night, when I hung up, the phone was stuck in the Screen Alignment program. I had to soft reset. When I woke this morning, the phone notified me that there was an update to Microsoft My Phone. I let that install and reboot and now I notice i don't have Auto-lock anymore.
Strange

You will need to reverse the registry changes that the any of those cabs made, then your lock will work again, make the following changes in your registry:

HKCU - ControlPanel - Keybd - DeviceLockWhenSuspend - change value to "1" from "0" (no quotes)

HKCU - ControlPanel - Backlight - AutoDeviceLockEnable - change value to "1" from "0" (no quotes)

Now if they are both set to "0" set them both to "1" and reset.....

I had a similar problem. I tried resetting the stylus, since it unlocks the phone when removed, and found that it solved the problem with no registry edits.
Seems that my stylus didn't seat properly after using it to open the case and do a soft reset.

I just uninstalled S2U2 this week (power hog) and now have lost the auto lock too. What have people's success been with the cab vs reg edits?

I used this with the screen dim option checked. It works fantastic. Thank you very much.
