Simple screen unlocker needed
 
Since with the Sprint 6.5 ROM update the TP2 screen locker no longer relocks the phone after a call ends, I'm looking for a 3rd party screen locker.

I'd like something very simple (like the stock one) -- just to lock the phone when I invoke it (and to relock it after a call ends).

What do you suggest?

Try pocket shield. You can google it. If you dont purchase it, you will keep on seeing a popup, but works pretty well.

Thanks. Is there anything free without a pop up?

I tried both of those. With the first on: ENU-Chobit Company SmartLock 2.0F.CAB the unlock button obscured the answer button when a call came in and I couldn't answer the call.

The second one: Boushh Light WVGA HTC Lockscreen 1.5.cab worked just like the stock one -- it didn't relock the phone after a call ended.

Any other ideas?

Yes, S2U is free and I've used it in the past, but I really want something much simpler and more lightweight. Don't any features other than locking the phone and relocking it after end of a call. S2U is too heavyweight for my needs.

You need to install both and go into the setting of smartlock. Which are in the system settings

Thank you. I've got both installed, but can't seem to figure out how to set it so that it only locks when I lock it manually but will then relock at end of a call.

Now I've got the following checked:
WM6.5 new lock
Incall lock
Outcall lock (also tried with Outcall connected lock checked)
Enable lock sound
Disable hardkeyboard when using telephone

Everything else is unchecked, but it doesn't relock at end of a call. Is there something else that should be checked (note that I don't want phone to ever lock automatically only if I do it manually then to relock after a call ends).

Thanks.

Thanks, I appreciate it. At this point I think I've tried every possible combination of likely settings but haven't gotten it to relock after end of a call.

Smartlock 1.7E locks when the phone rings (incall lock) or the way I set it (outcall connected) when an outgoing call connects. If you want to use the phone unlocked during a call, then after the call you either have to relock it by touching the power button to suspend the device (if you have "suspend lock" selected) or start->lock. Smartlock won't just relock the device on a hangup, since if you are using the device unlocked during the call the implication is you want to continue doing so. If you let it remain locked during the call, it stays locked after you hang up.

Re: Simple screen unlocker needed
 
First of all, the version here is 2.0F not 1.7E (which I've looked for but cannot find a workable version of). I am still not clear. I've tried with both incall lock and outcall connected checked, then locked the phone. A call comes in, I can answer it, but when I hang up the phone is unlocked. Have I missed something?

Try S2U2

I'm thinking of doing that. I was ideally looking for something more lightweight as I only need very minimal features, but if I can't find that elsewhere I'll look at S2U2 again.

You could try Slide2UnlockPro.
It uses much less ram than S2U2 only about 600kb as opposed to 4mb for S2U2.
It's free and I use it.

Does this relock the phone after a call ends (when the phone had been manually locked when the call came in)?

Thank you. This indeed does keep the phone locked when a call comes in. Only issue I have with it is the 2-touch to unlock (tap unlock on left softkey then button on screen) -- I'd much prefer a 1-touch slide unlock, but can live with this if there's no other option.

Yes, when a call comes in you can use the standard slide to answer/ignore and the rest of your device will remain locked.
If you unlock it then when the screen goes dark it will relock. ;)
