How to stop defaulting back ot the home tab

[tstall2]

Changing the timeout value seems to have no effect on the only real major problem I have with the phone. Whenever I turn the phone off or the screen times-out, I power back on to the HTC home page (after I utilize S2U). This is very annoying, especially if I am playing music in the car or the gym. Seems like an incredibly bad design decision and something that HTC/Sprint needs to fix.

When set at 1 hour, it will NOT default to the home screen. (At least it won't with my Verizon stock ROM.) I have mine set that way for now but would like to set it for lock in 1 min as 1 hour is enough time for someone to do real damage to your email accounts if you lose the phone.

There's really no way you could defend that as a feature if you ask me.

Mine is set to 2 hrs on Sprint TP2 and it still had the bug...

Just go to: Setting/Lock and uncheck "Prompt if device unused for"

Sorry, didn't see that. How whacky. On Verizon, at 1 hr. it works. 1< and it doesn't.

I read somewhere that there is registry changes to turn off the lock option when on activesync exchange, I was wondering if someone has those change is a cab form.

Agreed. I recommend you also send your opinion to HTC.

They will open a ticket and WILL respond.

Done, but can any other Verizon users (stock ROM) repeat that the screen does not revert to home during phone mode if timeout is set to 1 hour?

Is there any other cab program that can be used instead of this device lock? I have s2u2 installed but there are a 'few' rare occasions where i hold down the 'end' key to use this device lock (and enter pin#)..along w/ s2u2.
