I too use PocketShield. I think the trial was just a little buggy but not so that I didn;t go ahead and purchase the product. After I registered it works well.

So 2 thumbs up for Pocket shield
1 Thumb down for HTC (VZW and Sprint) for not doing a better job with ScreenLock ! I didn;t have to have an addnl Program for my TyTNII (Tilt) ???

has anyone found a way to make the stock lock engage when the backlight button is pressed and backlight goes off?

Great question. Is there any registry hack or cab for our TP2s to automatically lock once our screen turns off without holding on to the end button??

Another +1 for PocketShield. And they are very responsive on their forum. I was able to get help in setting up a registry value to have my device auto-unlock when I open my keyboard. Really nice program, and less than $15 in cost. Well worth the price to keep from making those embarrassing "butt" calls.

So...when I lock the phone it will dim the screen 100% with this tool? Now I have to hit Lock then dim the screen 100% by hitting a button on the top of the phone, then to unlock I have to hit the screen saver button and do 2 unlocks on the screen. its a PIA. I want a simple lock unlock slider like the iphone( yes I did own one) Great phone ATT su%cks.

Try PocketShield, that is hands down the best locking/unlocking system available.

You can set it to unlock with the light sensor so it automatically unlocks when you pull it out of a case or your pocket.

Best $10 I ever spent. Kept getting the alignment screen popping up in the case. Not an issue anymore. :mrgreen:

S2U2 is very good for this, and free.

I would vote for Pocket Shield as well. I bought it, but it seems to have a bug with the device reverting to portrait if it falls asleep while in landscape. It's not a big deal, but it is a minor annoyance to have to close/reopen the keyboard to get the screen correct.

Have not had good results with S2u2 on the TP2. PS is still king.
