I presume you are pressing the end call button for a few seconds to activate the lock?

I had the exact same problem on mine, but I'm pretty certain that it started once I setup Outlook Mobile to work with my company email. It seems that the server security policies, which make my phone lock out every 15 minutes with password, overrides the phone's lock. I don't know if your circumstances are the same, but I bought and downloaded SPB Shell, and it contains a Device Lock feature in the menu. Not only does the s/w look and function fantastically, but the device lock works again as well... even with the email security settings in place. I still have to log-in every 15 minutes though.

in my experience it's a combination of enabling the PIN and an old ROM which has the bug (actually the current orange ROM has the bug, but this is an old ROM).

I had to enable the PIN when i started using exchange email (the exchange server forced me to enable PIN as per the poster above) - however, upgrading to a newer ROM fixes the issue. Alternatively, you could use a 3rd party lock, like S2U2.

Alex Alex Alex,

You've made a good observation that never crossed my mind because I also upgraded to the HH3 Rom from Samsung's website the same evening I setup the Outlook account (see prev post). I'm really considering upgrading to the new Rom also posted on Samsung's website because HH3 kills my battery life. What Rom version have you upgraded to?

i sorted it now , it was because i had the phone lock which requires a pin on. I took it off now it works fine
