device lock unlocks with keyboard open
 

I am sure this has been asked and answered but I couldnt find anything by searching. I have had the touch pro for about a week and I love everything about it except the device lock function. Everytime the keyboard slides open it unlocks the keys which kind of defeats the purpose of the lock in the first place. I know I can use the password instead but it is clunky and ugly so I am looking for a better solution.

I remember reading about a fix for this issue but I do not have the skill or the bravery to download and use a registry editor. Does anyone have a prepackaged fix that handles this? Like the cleanup package in the sticky thread?

was this a terrible question or does nobody know the answer?

Re: device lock unlocks with keyboard open
 

I'm confused. Which lock? There is the lock that protects you from pocket dialing, that one should unlock when you slide open the keyboard since that pretty much implies you're interested in using the device. Then there is the security lock that needs a PIN. That one should not unlock on keyboard open.

i remember trying slide ot unlock from XDA on my mogul about 1.5 yrs ago... it was very clunky, everytime the phone woke up you would see the today screen, THEN the slide lock program would start, and then you had to unlock it... im assuming it has been improved since then

i am talking about the standard device lock without the password, although intentional opening of the keyboard would indicate wanting to use the phone, sometimes the slider can be nudged open in a pocket when i clearly do not want to unlock the phone

The purpose 4 unlocking phone is to save the power, as it is not much so do it.
secondly, is it is not dificult to unlock special it protecting u not phoning frient without u wish 2 call.

hope it is understood.

You should really learn to use a registry editor its easy...Download a registry editor (0ne here) and then do this "You can disable auto-wakeup when keyboard is opened.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DeviceMap\Keybd] Create new dword "SlideWakeup" with value of 0 and soft reset. To revert, delete the key or set it's data to 1. Source Got this all form essentials thread by the way read through it and it will help you a lot. this will make your keyboard not wake up device when opened and so will not unlock it.

thanks gorilla... is there any thread that details HOW to use a registry editor for a total first timer? i keep reading about how to do specific things but i don't even know what a registry is, let alone how to tweak one

Re: device lock unlocks with keyboard open
 

hobbs has a thread here with a very good tutorial.

Thanks gorillaguzzler.
Along the same lines as the original question....is there another reg-edit that would stop the phone from auto-unlocking when the stylus is pulled out?

I'm finding it snags in my pocket and pulls out a little and the phone will unlock itself and start pressing buttons.

Thanks

Does anyone know where to find the lock that requires a pin number. I thought it came with the TP but this one only seems to lock the phone via disabling the screen and buttons....thanks

Re: device lock unlocks with keyboard open
 

I am not sure about this one I have not run across it maybe someone wiser than me can chip in i searched a little but did not come up with anything.

Re: device lock unlocks with keyboard open
 

did you try lock under settings/personal tab and set a pin?

Re: device lock unlocks with keyboard open
 

I've tried several 'locking' apps and haven't liked any of them. I keep my TP in my pocket also and have had no issues with the standard lock function (no accidental sliding though). My main issue is after receiving a text the screen is on and accepts commands, the lock function prevents this.

I would be concerned about the slider rails and the screen section becoming loose after months of opening and closing in a pocket...

Hi everyone!

I just bought my TP and have been installing some tweaks etc and would like to first of all say thanks to everyone for their hard work.

My question is I entered this registry hack and it didnt work is there something Im missing...

I lock the phone via lock/unlock entry on today screen. I go to slide keyboard out and it unlocks automatically still even after two soft resets and verifying that the hack was entered into the registry correctly.

Anyone have this not work?
