HELP! Key Lock not working after enabeling device password - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Having gotten no help from HTC im posting this here (previously sent as a support request to HTC)
Afther having set a device password (Settings > Personel > Lock) I'm unable to enable the Key Lock. I checked the following settings:
- Settings, Long Press End Key is set to Automatically Execute: Lock Device
- Settings, Key Lock is set to Lock all buttons except Power button.
I get no error messages, the only thing I see when holding the End Key is a short flicker of the screen, after which the Home Screen comes up. Do note that the keys are not appropriately locked.
ROM version installed is latest HTC original ROM:
_HTC Touch Diamond_MR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_NOR_2.03.409.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship
So far all i have gotten from HTC is the following response:
Dear Sir/Madame, Thank you for contacting HTC Europe. We can confirm that this is a feature on the Touch HD. It might change in future updates, but at the moment the setting cannot be changed. We hope this will answer you question but feel free to contact us again. Best Regards, Alex Nyberg HTC Europe www.europe.htc.com

Don't know if it's just an automated respons or they just can't be bothered to give a sane message.
1) Why are they refering to Touch HD when I clearly stated that it was the Diamond i was refering to
2) They can't seriously expect anybody to belive that it works as intended and you aren't supposed to be able to lock you phone when you have set up a device password
Does anybody have a fix or any experience with how to get though to HTC?

Hi,
Take a look at this topic and post #108, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473457&page=11
FormerPalmOS said:
This changed in SYS version 20954. It's not a bug - Microsoft decided we wanted it this way. LongEndKeyPress just simulates a keypress of F22. F22 used to call the KeyLock. With 20954 it changes to call DeviceLock if a PIN is set, KeyLock if not.
Search for and use TouchLockPro for screen locking. If not using TF3D, the today screen lock plug-in works as you would expect. LongEndKeyPress will always be broken.

Sounds really odd, but I got what I wanted with TouchLockPro software.
Touch HD is having the same "issue" and maybe that explains HTC supports reply.

Thanks Meiz, that actualy made a stange kind of sence. Couldn't help my self probing HTC a bit more so i replied to their original answer with:
Are you really telling me that im not supposed to be able to use the Lock Device function when a device password is set? Im sorry but that seems totally insane!

Hardkeys

Is it possible to reconfigure the hardkeys that are set, by default to messaging and Internet Explorer?
Thanks.
Sure. You must read the manual that comes with the phone, but go to
Start > Settings > Personal > Buttons

Thanks, except (unless I'm either blind or stupid) there is no "personal" entry.
Personal is the Tab along the bottom of the screen. It should already be on personal, but might not be. Click it to be sure, and check your eyes when you can

But this is a smartphone, it doesn't have a tab at the bottom of the screen.
Ahh, my blindness! I apologise profusely.
I'm generally device agnostic, so didn't look at your device name: but I don't use Smartphones.
See if you can find a solution, if not, I'll write you a special app just to make up...

That's a relief, I was starting to think I was going ga-ga.
I'm also interested in a solution, I especially want to reconfigure the two buttons on the side (camera and voice dialing). I wasn't searching profoundly the internet for a solution yet, but also on Modaco and a Swiss board noone knew how solve this problem. So a solution would be highly appreciated
Doesn't AE Button Plus work on your devices?
V
Aha, interesting application, thanks for pointing out to it. Yes, it works, though it's a bit a "too powerful" solution (but better than nothing) - if there was a simple solution that doesn't require an application to run in the background then I'd prefer that...
I imagine there is. I haven't used a Smartphone since Orange E100, way way back. Are you sure there's no easy way?
If I was down and dirty, I'd set one button, export the registry, change it again, and export, and compare the two.
Isolate the registry function, and see if you can extend it.
It's possible certain hardware keys are "off limits", they are on the PocketPC. But I have code that might assist, but if you were using my code, I'd recommend AE Button Plus over it any day
V
One problem is that it doesn't seem to be possible to reconfigure a single one of the buttons via control panel. I saw a solution for the soft keys via registry (HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Home/Keys), but this solution doesn't work for the hard keys (or maybe I'm doing something wrong, happens a lot ). There seems to have been a solution for earlier Smartphones with "SHORT_xxx.lnk"/"LONG_xxx.lnk"-files that should be found in the Windows-directory, but this solution doesn't seem to work on WM5 any more. But I still haven't searched profoundly, so maybe I'll still find something.
is there now any better solution? i tried ae button plus, it runs on my mteor, but i can't map the keys. it says 'taste nicht verändern' / 'key not changeable'. it drives me crazy...
hello, is anything new about changing meaning of HW buttons? thanks
Short_home, Long_Home, Long_send, short_camera, long_camera, Short_record, Long_record, Short_VT, Long_VT, Short_POC, Long_POC
Best regards
But I cant find anything like this in Win directory... (WM6.1)...thanks

The HTC screensaver/screenlock program?

Hi Guys
A few days ago I was using one of Dutty's TouchFlo ROM's and it and some kind of screen saver/screen lock, to de-activate the lock you had to slide the bar at the bottom of the screen. The latest ROM doesn't seem to have this, so does anybody know what this application was called? and perhaps were I can get the cab?
Many Thanks
It's called S2U2 or slide2unloack and can be found here it's made by A_C
Awesome, thanks alot.

When you say black screen what you really mean when your device goes into suspend mode right?
•Go to your battery icon
•Select the Advance Tab
•From here change your settings
Done!

Touch Tones on Wing !!!

This might sound like a stupid question but, have any of u guys been able to send touch tones on your wing. I mean like not through the keypad, but like a no. from the contacts list. Almost every phone has this feature. I just thought i would discover it after some days. 5 months now and zilch. Please tell me i must be overlooking some little thing.
Thanks,
I don't really understand the question.

You mean like being able to press and hold the number 2 and have it dial your girlfriend type of thing? If that's the case and you're using the HTCTouch pad, just press down while you're in the pad.

I am sorry for being so unclear. I usually use calling cards to call my home country. In order to do that i have to dial a access number, a pin number and then the long distance phone number. I had an older Nokia 6019i. In that phone
i use to have my dads phone number stored as....
xxx(calling card pin)xxx(long distance number).
I mean all those numbers i use to store in the number field of the phone book entry. Then i just use to call the access number. Select call options from the Nokia call menu. Then select "send touch tones". Search for the phone number as you would do in any phonebook. Select the number and press send. It would send all those numbers as tones.. as if i was dialing them...but much much faster.
Hope that clears it up or messes up the question even further
I found this in a quick search. May it can help you.

This new version, which is in BETA, works on Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. It is resolution aware, so it will work fine on QVGA and Landscape screens.

Here's another one called Sunnysoft Calling Card

Seems to be a little nicer than the other one.
Hey duprade,
Thanks for all the info man. Will try both of them. Its a pity that such a feature which is natively available on lower end devices, is not there on a WM device. But thanks again, those applications will definitely fit my purpose.

Diamond Tweaker ruined my phone!!

Ok, it's not that big of a deal, but I want the stock TP dialer back!
When I installed Diamond Tweaker on my TP, I got this dialpad!

(Its gray buttons and a white background and no Yoshi, but I DON't WANT THIS ONE! It turned my Vibration when the person i called picked up the phone off!)
How can I get rid of this one? If there is any way by doing a Hard Reset it would be grealy appritiated!!
Open Diamond Tweaker and go to item "1.8 Phone Pad Style", make sure you have Diamond(Default) select at the bottom and not Windows Mobile Standard.
Then do a soft reset.
I think that should fix your problem.
come on, if it's not a big deal, don't say it RUINS your phone. And if you don't know how to use the Diamond Tweaker to change the dial pad, why install it in the first place?

Why are you so negative? I mean COME ON!!! I don't want this dialer, I want the stock one!
And I do know that it says this, But I use the Norwegian Diamond Tweaker, and the name Phone dial pad or anything like that isn't there! It has a totaly different name, which I don't - IN ANY WAYS - Assosiate with the Dialpad!
Also! I've checked every options (Inkluding this one MANY THIMES!) And non of them are changing this to the "Normal" dialpad.
Also the soft reset did not work.
On 1.8 (In norwegian Grensesnitt) it says Windows and Diamond, I've tried both, with Soft reset.. The same dialpad on both! hmmm
Could be a bug. You should go to the diamond tweak website and post about it.

So; I have now Hard Reseted the phone - Just for the record
But thanks, I guess it was all fu**** up, since a stock dialpad .cab did not work! hehe
But really, thanks You guys are the best

Gray/White square in the top left - why?

When I'm
- using Opera
- or lock the device
- using other programs
often there appears a little square in the top left and stays there, even after exit of e.g. Opera:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Where does it come from?
Anybody noticed something like this?
Thanks for helping!
I have that too, think its a couple of stuck pixels?

No, I'm using the original ROM.
Somestimes the square disappears for a while, then comes back, e.g. after launching opera, album view. Where does it come from?
I already asked for this.
The problem is: Finger Keyboard 2.1
The solution is very easy: you just need to set "show bar" on the option screen of FK to resolve this problem

Indeed I'm using FK 2.1. Will try your solution and will give feedback here.
Questions:
1. Both bars in portrait and landscape mode?
2. Do the authors of FK know about this issue? Or should I tell them?
And : How did you get this solution - wouldn't have thought of FK for this issue ...
edit: Seems to work. Square disappears immediately after changing the option in FingerKeyboard. Will keep on watching ....
Thank you very much!
edit2: Alle questions are answered now by reading the FK-Thread . Thanks
If i remember correctly i found the solution in the Finger keyboard 2.1 thread, here in xda.
I don't remember who wrote it...i just searched for it when i had this problem and asked for a solution in this forum.
Glad you resolved this problem too
