Automatic Device/Key Lock

[LoopyLoo]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a way to get the Device Lock feature (appears as a padlock on the Today screen) to active automatically after a preset length of time.

I have WM5 on my ex-SPV/M700 and the feature is very handy for preventing false button presses whilst device in pocket etc but annoyingly can only be invoked manually.

Thanks in adavnce for any help/info,

Do you mean:

Start > Settings > Lock > then tick Prompt if device unused for: choose time lenght

?

Edit: Just checked and that's not what you mean!!! However this would give you the same reset apart from having to enter a PIN number, also making it more secure.

I have exactly the same phone as you. Turn off the standard today plugin from Orange and use the default PocketPC screen and the lock will be visible. I have no idea why Orange forgot to add the Padlock feature as it is standard thing on most phones. If anyone can make this lock larges it would be helpful!

I dont want to be messing about with passwords every time I switch the device on.

As I was alluding to in my first post, I have an ex-SPV/M700!

So, as with you device, I'm with the HTC Homeplug also and have enabled Device Lock to appear on my Today screen already.

My bug-bear is that I want it to activate automatically after a preset time, rather than having to do it manually. Many mobile phones have this kind of functionality, but I've not found a way to do that yet on this XDA...

What about to set an idle delay in the battery/alimentation parameter and check “lock all key” in the key lock parameter...
