This will allow you to bypass the device lock due to security policies for Microsoft Exchange Server.

First enable the box again to be unselected in Device Lock:

Navigate to HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001023

0 = Enabled; 1 = Disabled

Then go to Settings/Personal/Device Lock and uncheck the box.

Then install Zenyee.com Stay Unlock.cab and soft reset your device.

This program will prevent the lock to be activated again.

Just try it and test it and it works! Finally the most annoying thing I had on this phone has been resolved. I use a private exchange server and the security was more of a nusance than actual need.

I'm not sure I want to totally disable the lock since I am using this with a company Exchange server. Are we sure this is the only solution? Is this an HTC bug or something with WM that might get fixed with 6.5?

I wonder if any of the ROM cookers can verify if this bug exists with Manila 2.5 and WM 6.5?

I can confirm this works. Phone calls now stay on the phone app and when I hit the sleep button or it times out on it's own and shuts off the screen the previous app is still open when I turn it back on. Is this detectable by my IT group though? I might just grin and bear it or try SPB for awhile since I've never really used it.

Background: This test was on the Verizon TP2 with touchflo and a corporate exchange server with pin lock.

I am also curious about this- in the past I have tried the registry edit alone but then every am the phone would get pushed the IT's lock policy and I would have to use a pin again- is there a quick read about what exactly Zenyee.com Stay Unlock.cab does (I will google but I'm lazy) edit- this good: http://journal.zenyee.com/2008/10/19...ter-two-years/

One last edit- after reading about "stayunlock" I installed it- you do not need to make the registry edits- after starting it I was able to go to the lock setting and unselect "prompt if device unused for"
Finally there is a workaround for this problem

OK, I think HTC officially knows it's a bug now instead of saying it was a design by choice. They say they know it's a problem and are working on a fix.

Finally! HTC kept tell me, via customer service, that it was "by design".
