Re: Newb with lots of questions
To lock/unlock your phone I would suggest using S2U2. It is free and can be found here: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/s2u2.shtml
After you unzip the folder what kind of files are in it? if it is a ".cab" file, place it anywhere on the device and run it and it should install. If it is a ".exe" file, than you need to plug in your phone, run active sync, and run the .exe You can try here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450623 to increase your volume. If you have any other questions feel free to ask, just search first. Cheers, Matt |

Re: Newb with lots of questions
When I unzipped the file in a folder ON my phone there was a cab file, but when I clicked on it...... I got an error message....something about not being the right kind of file....
The exe files I just do from the computer? and they will install to my phone? Do they need to be located in my "phone" folder on my computer or can I install from anywhere as long as I'm synced? If seen references to the S2U2..... what does that do? I tried installing the touchprolock, but my phone got a little buggy and I still have to be able to read the screen to unlock. I don't have any problem locking the phone.....Its unlocking that is so problematic. What about the styluslock.... thats the one I was trying when I went in the ditch trying to open it. Also I had already DL'ed the "audiopara file".... the zip file for it. Then with my phone synced dragged and dropped the zip file to my phones "programs folder".... but when I left click there isn't an option for unzipping the file. and if I double click I just get a properties screen..... What is it I'm doing wrong? |

Re: Newb with lots of questions
This is a screen shot of S2U2. It locks just like an iphone. you slide that little bar to the right with your finger and it will unlock your phone. It will automatically lock the phone when the screen turns off.

I will see if I can reproduce the message. I dont know what you are doing wrong with "audiopara." try unzipping on your computer first. |

Re: Newb with lots of questions
Not sure what "unlocking and flashing is". I thought from the previous threads I've read that "unlocking" was associated with using one carriers phone for a different carrier. So if I have a sprint HTC TP and I'm using spint. Do I still need to unlock my phone and if so why?

Re: Newb with lots of questions
I personally use PocketShield to lock my phone screen. It has the added benefit of unlocking automatically when the phone detects light, so it becomes pretty unobtrusive, yet prevents the infamous butt dialing syndrome.
If you ever want to get into flashing your own ROMs you can look at this wonderful thread. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=69854 I use MightyMike's MightyROM 6 which incorporates the new WM6.5 platform. Almost any custom ROM you choose will be better than the stock one. It's up to you to choose which suits you best. I chose MR6 because it had the most users. It must be good if that many people use it, haha. Last edited by Darkjedi; 07-16-2009 at 01:45 PM. |

Re: Newb with lots of questions
as for the .zip not being able to install-
it could be a .cab file in disguise. try changing the .zip extension to .cab (from your computer just right click and rename. be sure that file extensions are not hidden). then copy the .cab to the phone and try to run it ~D |
