I find it very easy to hit the lock button by accident, particularly when turning the phone horizontally or when passing it to someone to show them something. Is there an existing or a possibility of a tweak where the screen locking would only happen by, say, a double press of the lock button?

After installing same cab, I noticed that when i press and hold the end bottom, although it is set to lock the device, it just moves to the home screen.
if i manually choose to lock the device, it also does not work.
if i lock the device with the password it works. does anyone know what the problem is?
thanks
Hi lucianoci,
There is a bug with the HD which means that you can't have password lock and long press end key lock working together. You should find that if you remove the password you will then be able to lock the phone by pressing and holding the end key.
Another "bug" by the lock-feature is, that "power saving" reduce the brightness and after an unlock the brightness didn't increase again.
pressing the top button puts it in standby, tapping that button brings it out and calls random ppl in my pocket afew times a day...
Holding the end button and locking the decide locks it but dosnt put it in standby...
So u have to hold the end key choose lock then put it in standby.... if the standby key is then bumped it will make it light up and... keep your keys company?
Is there a way to make it automatically lock after 30sec and go into standby after another 30sec? as this is just rediculas lol
And i dont want the wimo password lock... i want the lock where u have to just slide the button to unlock it
And help would be much appreciated ^_^
Search S2U2 (Slide to Unlock 2). Unfortunately, on the TP2 there is an issue with the landscape mode being garbled.

As a former HTC Hero user i really miss the option to wake the screen using the bottom hardware buttons.
On the Desire you have to use the power button, but i hate the placement of that button.
Is there a way to use the "menu" or any other bottom hardware button to wake the screen?
BUT i still want to have the lockscreen, so the app which is mentioned in the tricks section on this board isn't cutting it for me since it will deactivate the lockscreen in order to let you use other hardware buttons to wake the screen.
Any other solutions? Isn't there some kind of "hardware button mapper" available like on windows mobile devices?
Just got my Desire today, so I am actually curious about this also.

Yes, but only possible on rooted handsets, no?
Probably :/
damn, don't want to root my desire as i have heard of random bricks.
another question:
is there an app to lock the screen using a widget?
so after i'm done with the current action, i don't want to use the power button to lock the screen, but a widget or a shortcut.
Is there a widget available for that? Or even better a widget to turn of the screen?
I have Lockbot Pro installed and I can wake the screen with any of the buttons at the bottom. Pressing Menu then gives me an 'unlock' bar on the screen which I can press to unlock (or I can swipe the screen in the standard way). Allows you to unlock without pressing the power button at all.
thanks for the hint. the app looks quite nice, but it seems to be very slow.
When waking the screen it takes very long until the lockscreen is shown, and it always shows a different lockscreen?!
also is the an option in the pro version to define a key to lock the screen?
So i.e. i wake the screen using the center navigation pad button, can i define that pressig the button again should turn the screen off again?

Problem: You get a call, which wakes up the phone. You reach in your holster to grab the phone. Things press on the screen and it launches apps while you are picking up the phone.
Solution: A true lock screen where you need to slide a slider before the touch screen becomes enabled.

The stock HTC lock screen already has the slide to answer feature. If you want a lock screen similar to that, then there is S2U2 that is a very good choice.

At first I was thinking I couldn't use it because the key was already assigned to voice command, and I use that all the time. Then I realized that that's assigned to the Send key, not the End key, and the Long Press End key toggles Airplane mode by default, which I would seldom need. Re-assigning the Long Press End to toggle the lock screen is perfect.
Tap or press Start > Settings > All Settings > Personal (tab) > Buttons > Long Press End Key (tab). Choose Lock device in the radio buttons and tap OK. Press and hold the End key to lock the keys and screen.

Not having a lock screen is not a problem when receiving a call because it automatically pops up the call screen, which has its own lock slider, or I can push the Send button to accept. The problem comes when I get a text or e-mail and it wakes up the phone. When I pull it out of my horizontal belt holster, I have to touch the screen, and since the touch screen is now alive, I launch apps I didn't intend to. With the lock screen, it remains locked until I am ready to check out the text or email message. I don't even need to mess with the slider. Simply removing the stylus causes the lock screen to exit. The lock screen doesn't change the behavior when a call comes because the phone automatically launches the same call screen it always did, and closes the lock screen so I don't have to deal with that when I answer calls, so I can still accept the call quickly. This is perfect!
Thanks TONS!
This is frustrating. If I wake my phone by pressing the Home button i get taken to my designated home screen and not to the open app. The same does not happed if i wake the phone with the power button. This really annoys me in situations where i have the phone on a desktop as i have to use two hands to wake the phone!
Is there a way to change the action of the home button in this situation?
UPDATE: Problem solved. Enable a lockscreen! That was easy
