Guest Alex Alex Alex Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Out of the box, I can hold down the "Device Lock Key" and it will work as intended and lock the device so that you can pocket it without accidently dialing someone etc. If I then add a PIN to the device so that it locks on bootup and timeout requiring a PIN to unlock it, then then holding down the Device Lock Key only makes the screen flash and no longer key locks the system. Is there anything, other than removing the PIN (which is a policy requirement for my email server), to allow a quick key pad lock or fix this glitch?

I wouldnt be without it
Guest Alex Alex Alex Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 have you tried Slide to unlock. I wouldnt be without it I'd like to try it, do you have a decent link for it. Most that I've found require me to signup or traverse a million adverts and try not to accidently click on something nasty :lol:
Guest Ashy87 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 in the today settings, under items you can put "device lock" on the today screen. i have this and all you need do is tap the words "device unlocked" with the padlock logo at the bottom of the today screen and your phone's keylocked. hope thats a help

Guest Alex Alex Alex Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 also trying S2U which I found at http://rs215.rapidshare.com/files/14425342...-1.22b-QVGA.zip which works perfectly, and it's quite funky so gonna continue to use that :lol:
