Device lock no longer working on long press End key (Found reason!)

---

Hi,

After a couple of days playing with the HTC touch HD I noticed that I can not lock the device anymore by long pressing the end key. I have looked into the settings and it clearly states that long pressing the end key should lock the device.

whenever I long press the key I see the some screen refresh but the device is not locked.

If I switch off Touchflo3D and show the device lock on the today screen, then the device gets locked. Could this be a bug in touchflo3D?

I would hate to have to perform a hard reset just to fix this issue...

If anyone knows a solution, please let me know.

Edit: well, I found the reason why this happens. Once you setup a password for your device, it stops locking the device using long press end button. It sucks, but I can live with it...

Looks like a hardreset is the only way to go.

If I perform a hard rerset, will I still have all the applications that came standard with the like touchflo3d and google maps? or will I need to reinstall some of the applications myself?

You will have them. It will reset to factory settings, original ROM plus all installations HTC chose to put on the HD.

this hasnt worked on mine from the moment i got it, so i suppose a hard reset isnt going to fix things (?).

in my case it was working fine....until it stopped working. Looks like a bug in touchflo3d, because you can still use the default device lock from the today screen. that one works...

yes that one works when you turn touchflo off but the touchflo end key press never worked.

Can someone confirm that you no longer get a choice of action for the Long Press End Key, i.e. it locks the device and that's it. On the diamond you are able to choose an action or choose the display choice list.

Thanks, cojo

You can configure it. standard it will lock your device, but you can also choose to show a choice list.

A-ha...found it, they moved it to the Button setting (not one for reading the manual). Now...what about the 'Lock all buttons on device lock' setting?!
