where are the lock screen options (hold down red button)?

[mlevin77]

I used to have it so that if I held down the red (hang up) button, and picked no choices from the menu that comes up (lock, turn off screen, sleep, etc.), it would automatically become locked needing me to slide the slider next time I turned it on before it would take keyboard commands. I soft-reset it, and now that doesn't happen anymore - on wakeup, it goes right to the Today screen. I don't like it because it comes on in my pocket sometimes. Where is the option as to what it does by default when the red button is held down? I can't find it anywhere.

thanks,

Mike

the problem you are having is that it is not locking when the screen turns off. Holding the end key so the menu comes out, will turn the screen off if no action is taken in a couple of seconds. By default the screen lock will activate when the screen goes off. Soooo in short, just find out what the heck you need to do to reactivate the lock when screen is off and it should be fixed. There was a post around here somewhere about the screen not locking itself .

I'm finding some apps and such but they have (apparently) various problems. What stinks is that this used to work just fine before this soft-reset (and I've done about a dozen so far, with never a problem). It's not some new function I'm asking for that needs a new app - the phone already used to do this! I could have sworn there was a simple setting somewhere for choosing which of the "quick menu" items gets chosen by default after holding down the red button, but now I can't find it...

HKCU\ControlPanel\KeyBd\Devicelockwhensuspended change to dword 1

Yeah I had that issue on this phone before I flashed to the new rom. Perhaps one of the programs i installed changed the setting, but since i am constantly installing and removing things i didnt keep track. Keith's reg edit should do the trick.

I did that, and also

HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable-----------> set to 1

still no good! When I hold down the red button, it gives me a choice of Power Off, Turn Screen Off, Lock Device, and Set vibrate. If I do nothing, the screen goes off (which is where it used to be locked), but now when I hit the green button to wake it up, I see this same menu again - not the locked slider. What's going on?!?

My next attempt was to assign the "hold down red button" using AEButton Plus. That didn't work either - assigning either long-press or double-press of the red button to Lock (in the AEBP menu) doesn't seem to do anything. What am I doing wrong?

thanks!!
