key lock software for sx66?

hi guys,
i'm looking for a program for my sx66 that will allow me to lock the hardware keys and screen when i place it in it's holster. i have tried screenlock 1.2 and mortsaver but they don't seem to work.
anyone know of any programs that do this?
thanks!

try settings ->system ->button lock
it is already build into windows

Isn't that designed for only when the phone is turned off? I'd like to keep the phone on and lock the keys.

The phone will keep functioning with keylock on just lock the keys and give yourself a call from another phone , you'll see it works

Doh! Why didn't I think of that?
You are referring to toggling the keylock on from within the programs, not pressing the power button (which I assume does power the unit off), correct?
Thanks.

The power button does not power off the unit, it just turns off the screen or if you hold it for a few seconds, it turns off the backlight.

you may try Start->Settings->Personal->Password along with Button Lock in the System Settings. This will have your keys completly locked.

Thanks guys. That will do what I need.

I think that mortsaver is sort of a work in progress. There is a beta that works way better, but the only place I've found it is here not on any website:
http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/...0aa759&threadid=37160&perpage=20&pagenumber=1
'
You can get the latest beta from the last or second to last page, but you might want to read the entire thread to get an idea of how to use the program. I think it will soon be a killer app up there with pzp

Screen locking application

Very simple and very very light application.
Does exactly what it says on the TIN.
The reason I compiled this application is purely to avoid using power button as I don’t want it to worn out. To turn the screen on or off we have to use power button which might stop working if we use the button too much. This application will cut the use of the power button by 50% at least
Rather than using the power button to turn the screen on and off, tap on this application to turn the screen off. Very small application V1.0
I might release another one when I get feedback from the users.
If you want just exe file then copy it in to your phonewindows->start menu-> program folder
Or use cab file which will install it on the above location for you
Enjoy !!!!

Trying to be contructive, the way this application could be more useful (to me) would be if it triggered the standard screen lock at the same time as switching off the screen. This would save me tapping 'start' then 'lock' and then pressing the power button.

hiya,
much appreciate for your comments. do you mean turning screen off as well as locking the screen..? so that when you touch the screen it won't come back on...?
I'm working on to prepare better version i.e. it would be on the home screen so that no clicking on start menu and then this app.
cheers

I think he means that you program should not only turn off the devise, but also lock it with the standard WM lock at the same time. That would be good for me, at least.

screen off + lock at same time only pressing Powerbutton.

It work perfectly for me so as it is. I changed the left soft-key so that it will start "turn off the light.exe" .When the screen is off S2U2 will lock the screen. So I can turn off and lock the screen with only one click.
To change the soft key do this:
with a registry editor go to HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/ . in HomeLSKPath (left softkey) or HomeRSKPath (right softkey) write the address to "turn off the light.exe". HomeLSKText and HomeRSKText are the text for the softkeys.
That´s it!

update for touch diamond
hi everyone,
massive thanks to all those who provided replies. I have tried on my blackstone (Touch HD) and it does seems to turn off the screen plus all keys as well.
I can confirm that it doesnt lock all the keys i.e. doesnt lock the device on touch diamond model. I'll modify the program and upload the newer version with the feature of locking the keys plus turning off the screen.
once agian special thanks to everyone.

Certainly reading the comments above, people seemed to understand what I was getting at. With the screen off, the buttons on a HD will indeed be non-responsive, however if an event (SMS or similar) woke the screen, the device would be in an unlocked state. What I would be interested in is a program that turned off the screen and invoked the standard WM lock program (gwes.exe?).
Hope that makes sense.

i like this application but i think the icon is really ugly..

Hi,
is there a possibility to do a screen unlock application which can be activated by voice commander? the situation is this...
I used voice commander to launch google maps while my hand is busy when the screen is lock. however, i will need a program which can be initiated by the voice commander to unlock the screen so that i can navigate the maps. Right now i will have to unlock the screen the normal way which i find voice commander redundant since i'll have to use my finger during lunching anyway.
Can you help me on this? Many thanks in advance. =)

Here is the app that has the feature which you prefer:
LockDevice => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542482

Thanks for the link!

Been using this app so i dont have to fumble with the power button to turn the screen off. Seems this app only turns off the screen and doesnt actualy put the phone in sleep. I would like an app like this that acts as the power button does. So when i put the phone to sleep with the icon, i cant accidently slide the keyboard out a touch and have the phone wake up.
The whole deal has to do with tilt 2's keyboard sensor and magnet cases. With this app, the keyboard sensor still activates when sliding into a magnet flap case, while having slie to wake disabled

Hiya,
I'm working on the program so that you can have configuration option to simulate power button to put phone in sleep mode or jus to turn the screen off. This utility was just for people who want to save power whilst listening to the music, etc.
Please keep any ideas/suggestion coming. Much appreciated guys.
Watch the space guys....

That is great inítiative. I use the screen off function actually for the purpose to save power when navigation. screen off when there is a long straíght way to drive.
Put device to sleep mode will cause gps signal lost, which is not so nice.
I can image that there will be a lot of person who wnat to have different adds-on on this small application, it might be a solution to provide command argument.
Thank you.
I will try to see whether this one works for my purpose. Actually in my situation, I even don't want any key be locked as these keys are mapped for navigation.

How about screen toggle thus it is possible to map this application to a key?

awesome, i mapped the exe to a hardware key next to standby. now i can easily save power while wardr listening to music. ^_^
it combines very well with s2u2 locking function too.
big thanks!

Tom, may be it was to late to find your toggle light off switch, but it was very important for me to find it, thank you man, you solved a terrible issue for me, which is that programs stop updating (eg: twitter) when the device is in standby mode.
I heard that you can release another one, so my feedback is:
it takes about 2 seconds to turn off the light, isn't there any faster??? ))

This application is great. Combined with the S2U2 and HD Tweak i don't even have to use the power button at all. Device locked by S2U2 as soon as i turn off the light, waking up device by pulling out the stylus and rebooting with the help of HD Soft reset. Thanks
P.S. You should really add a decent icon, even though people can change it if they want to.

slide 2 lock

how do i enable slide 2 lock on the phone when it's power off or back light goes off? it seems the only way to get slide 2 lock is to hit start then tap lock....

I think this is what you are looking for. Its what i use and works perfect! my screen locks when my backloight goes out or i hit my power button to turn it back on.
http://thewingster.com/autolockscreen.aspx
Also Got it from this thread in the software forum. Good place to look for good apps and utilities for the TP2
There are also a couple other auto lock screens here too but the link above is what i use.

Its in the start --> settings --> system area of the phone and its called smart lock. To autolock when backlight goes off check the suspend lock box

do you know if there's a way to lock when pressing the power button slightly?

thats what it does the hit the power button to turn the backlight off and when you turn it back on it will be locked

i just soft reset and now it hangs on the windows screen and won't boot. not sure what to do.

This program WAS working great for me earlier this evening, and I was happy with it.
But it randomly stops working (I'll hit the power button and then hit it again, and it won't have locked the device).
>_> Any thoughts / solutions?

You can also manually lock (with WM6.5) by pressing and holding the end/home key, unless you've assigned it to something else (see Settings --> Personal --> Buttons). Additionally under Settings --> Lock you can check the "Prompt if phone unused for" box and set a time (i.e. the same time as you set the backlight off), but you then do have to enter a PIN or password of your choice, I believe (which I do anyway for security).
I tried various apps such as S2U2, but found them excessively battery heavy or buggy, although Touchlock pro had loads of settings (including using stylus, keyboard, g-sensor etc.) which I possibly didn't configure right!

thanks for the feedback, i do notice sometimes this does not work...i've switched to s2u2 to see how it goes.

autolock phone (like the hd2)

hi,
i used to have a hd2 phone, when i pushed the "end conversation" button, the screen would turn off and the phone would automaticly lock.
when i turned the screen back on, first i'd have to slide the button to the side to use the phone.
on my touch pro 2, it works different.
i'd have to press the button and hold for several seconds before it locks.
just pressing it once just urns off the screen, nothing more.
is there a way to make my touch pro 2 do the same thing like the hd2?
i want to lock itself everytime i press the "end conversation" button.
(that would be the button on the far right).

It's doesn't do exactly what you are asking about, but have you tried LockDevice 1.6? It simply locks the device everytime you turn off the screen. I have been using it for a while an love it.

hi,
i've just found it and downloaded it.
works like a charm... didn't expect my problem to be so easily fixeable.
sweet as....

Co0kie's home tab allows you to set an auto HDmini-style unlock (not sure if similar to HD2) and you can edit whether unlocks on call, lock after call etc.

Not sure why you're adverse to installing a cab, but under All Settings --> Lock you can set it to lock "if unused for 0 minutes", but I believe this only works if you set up a PIN (which I have anyway for security, but if unused for 12 hours, as I use Co0kie's home tab as above), so this can be an extra hassle.
I have tried S2U2 ages ago, which gives an iphone-style lock screen with editable settings, but found it drained battery excessively. This may now be rectified, though.

I am using S2U2 and not having any battery issues with it. It does require a cab to install it, though.

Don't use interaction control before you read this.

If anyone who doesn't know what interaction control is, it is a built-in feature that can be found in settings->dexternity and interaction | on Samsung phones. It is used to prevent a part of the screen or the whole screen from touching. After you enable it touch interactions won't work on the places you choose.
The best part of this tool is it ignores all the notifications as well as calls. It doesn't let you lock or unlock the device as well as physical or on-screen buttons won't work.
Now the worst part is if you run out of battery after you enable this feature you are in trouble.
For the first time when the phone starts, it asks for the locksceen password or whatever security you put.
The problem is when interaction control is enabled you can't touch the screen nor any buttons will work except back key which doesn't do anything and the power key which basically turns off and on the screen.
You can't turn off or on the interaction control while the screen is locked, and you can't unlock your device while interaction control is enabled.
Basically, your phone is in a loop. The only way to make the phone functioning again is the factory reset.
Even Samsung Customer Representative couldn't help it.
I know it is an extreme condition that it can happen.
But still, beware before using it.

Found this topic while googling for a different issue, but I thought I could shed some light on this. Sorry for the necro
At least on my Note 10+, you can enable and disable the Interaction Control feature by doing one of the following:
A) Hold down the Home and Volume Down buttons together. (Doesn't work if the home button is virtual (on-screen) and is blocked by Interaction Control)
B) Hold down the Side Key and Volume Up buttons Together. (Always works, even when Volume buttons and Side Key button is blocked!)
Edit: Just realized this topic is for the Galaxy A50, but hopefully it will work just the same

YES! Do NOT ever activate "INTERACTION CONTROL" unless you KNOW what you are doing or know what that feature is! Unfortunately, IF you are already here, you have probably already activated that feature and don't know what to do, because that is why I'm here too! I accidentally turned this feature on after taking a screenshot! Don't ask me how or why I managed to do it, because I just don't know, I just did. I tried to power off the phone thinking that would help, But I couldn't even do THAT! I was panicking! I was completely LOCKED OUT OF MY PHONE from activating this feature! I only accidentally found how to "disable" the feature pressing and holding the side button and power up button at the same time, like the other poster commented.

The reason you could disable it, the phone was still on. If you run out of battery, it will not allow you to disable it with shortcut keys before you unlock the phone. You can't unlock the phone because the screen is disabled. One way, maybe, is to plug in an external mouse and unlock it if your phone supports it. I don't have my A50 anymore, so I can't test it anymore.

You can't do it if your battery dies. The shortcut works if your phone is still on. Once the battery dies and you turn it back on, it will ask for a password before you can disable interaction control with the shortcut, which is stupid since you cannot unlock it with interaction control enabled since the screen is locked. One option might work if your phone supports OTG; you can plug in an external mouse and unlock your phone to disable this feature. It is better to use the pin app future which gives almost the same results. It locks you to the same app even though you can use the screen.
