Diamond unlocks itself, hardware problem?

[DeanJ]

Basically I had a look about here and can't see anyone else with the same issue.

I've not long had the phone and the other night I had a call quite late saying I'd been phoning them 5 times. I'd locked my phone but when I looked at it it was awake and unlocked.

I can lock my phone (hold down the end call key) but with a bit of movement to the phone it brings up the unlock screen and unlocks itself.

This also happens if I lock the phone and turn off the screen with the power button. After a little shake about the phone will turn on and unlock itself.

You can imagine the problems this can cause whilst in my pocket.

I've not messed with the firmware yet or even any registry entries, it's as it was from HTC.

I am having this same issue with mine. I hold down the End key for a few seconds to lock, it locks successfully, but if I move my finger a bit and touch any other part of the surface it unlocks almost instantly. Sometimes the lock remains, but it's more likely that it will get unlocked.

I tried using TouchLockPro, but that didn't seem to help me much (it seems like it's not even functioning, actually). I'm running A.Z.T.O.R. V7 WWE ROM.

Have you tried going to settings then hitting "key lock". On the screen that comes up check the first option "lock all buttons except power button".

Works fine for me - when I switch off screen using power button everything is locked (buttons and screen) until I hit power button again or I get an incoming call.

Mine is set to that, but it doesn't seem to have much effect.

Sometimes I will hit the power button to shut the screen off and later when I pull it out of my pocket the screen is on and something (e.g. Calendar, System Time, etc) is open. During the period it was in my pocket I received no calls or texts.

When I try to hold the end key to lock the phone, it will lock it for ~1 second and then automatically unlock it. Doing it a second or third time will usually get a lock that "sticks" (at least for a while).

There has to be a good solution for this out there, but I've tried PocketShield and TouchLockPro without luck.

I have this problem as well. I went to a meeting, locked my phone and it made 20 calls to my friend abroad, so I am really pissed, it happened before but I thought it was because it got knocked in my handbag.- Please help


Also my battery life has depreciated in a big way, at first 24 hours , 4 months later I'm lucky if it's lasting 6 hours and that's without making a call. I've turned of wi-fi, 3G etc. What is happening

Use sensorlock its great if you set it to unlock when you take the stylus out and relock when u slide it back in :D

TouchLockPro should just work (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444215). In post #5 alternatives are mentioned (and also why the built-in Windows Mobile lock is not a solution for your problem)!
