Enable Slide to Unlock?
 
When I re-did my TP2, it now does not slide to unlock. I would like to re-enable that without using S2U2 or another program, just the simple built in feature that managed to turn itself off. Thanks!

You mean when you lock it, and it asks for a password?

Negative, if it's locked and I slide out the keyboard, it stays locked.

i mean how are you locking it? There's one that just locks and you slide to unlock, and another where you have to enter a password. Which one are you using?

OR is it a program just for that that you're using?

if you not password locked just hit start then bottom of the screen hit lock. it will take a sec or two the first time

I programmed the long end press to lock it. I'm just using the normal locking that's built in. No password, just the little slider. Sliding it used to unlock it, now it does not after getting a new phone.

Re: Enable Slide to Unlock?
 
so you went to your start menu, then once there you hit the "lock" button at the bottom left of the start menu screen and it did nothing?

No, it locks fine. Locking it is not the issue at all. The issue is that when it is locked, sliding open the keyboard does not unlock it, I still have to slide the on-screen slider.

you do realize this is a feature that helps you right??

1) stops phone from unlocking in your pocket and turning on the backlight - saves major battery
2) no pocket dialing or answer
and probably a few more things not coming to mind.. making it unlock when you slide it open = not a good feature to have IMO

to each their own i guess...

Re: Enable Slide to Unlock?
 
Pocket dialing is never an issue for me as my phone does not slide open in my pocket. I know it's a personal preference, which is why I'm trying to get it back. Thanks so far guys, but is there really no definitive answer for this? I assume it's a simple registry edit at best, I just don't want to mess with that blindly.

Re: Enable Slide to Unlock?
