Hate the locking system....

The locking system on the Mogul has really been annoying me. You only have a few options.

A: Activate the Today screen plugin and tap it each time before you power off the device. This is the most reliable but not only does it take up space on the Today screen, you have to press 2 buttons and tap the screen to unlock. 2 key presses are enough.

B: Use an addon like Onlock to activate the stock locking program without needing the Today plugin. Problems with this are that the device seems to wake up slower then usual and the program isn't reliable. It seems too often for some unknown reason it just stops locking my phone on power down and I have to soft reset to get it working again.

C: Use an addon that locks the phone in it's own way. Tried this route and it was far less reliable then Onlock but did have the benefit of only needing 2 keypresses to wake up.

I'm not sure why HTC couldn't make a simple lock system which locked the phone on power down and preferably only required 2 keypresses to wake up.

Example of why I'm so aggravated atm. Example, while using Onlock it had quit locking the phone at some point and I hadn't noticed. I received a text message while the phone was in my pocket and 30 or so seconds later when I pulled the phone out, my leg had tapped one of my photo speed dials and called someone.
