Goodlink and Automatic Profile Switching Issues

[le_paulo]

I've had to install Goodlink on my Hermes which the admins have set up to automatically lock the phone after 20 min. You then need to type in a password to access the today screen.

While my phone is locked, profile switching using Phone Alarm or any other automatic timed profile switch programs (Phoneweaver, PWM, Profiles for Windows etc) refuse to switch the profile unless the phone is manually unlocked just before the profile is switched. It's as if Goodlink locks all application activity when the phone is locked.

However it doesn't prevent Windows Mobile App alarms such as SMS, Phone, Calendar, Tasks waking up the phone and ringing but for some reason the profile switchers refuse to work.

Given that I've tried several profile switching programs (I'm a long time user of PA by pocketmax but tried all the others), I'd love to know if anyone knows any hacks that can help get around this issue with Goodlink. Any hacks to get around the phone lock would be much appreciated ;)

Any suggestions?

Hi,

You can get around the Goodlink mandatory locking by changing a registry setting.

Use your trusty registry editor and look for "ITLocked" and set it to 0.

After that goto Settings -> Lock and tick off "Prompt if device unused for".

You may need to try a couple of times as Goodlink will keep resetting it to 1.

good luck!
