disable builtin lock

[TauTau]

Hi,

probably this sounds like a noob question, but I couldn't find a solution. I have installed s2u2, which is quite nice. But after some time, I additionally get the builtin lock active (tap left Softbutton, tap middle of screen). Since it already is locked by s2u2, I want to deactivate this, but couldn't find it anywhere in the settings (it *must* be there, no?). I only found this thread

but it's about a lock that an Exchange server sets...

this method does not disable the lock, only removes it from the screen (anyway you won't have problems, I gues).

Go to start -> settings -> today, there you have two tabs: appearance and items, go to items scroll up or down 'till you find Device Lock and then uncheck it and click OK, that's it.

no, that's not my problem at all, that would just remove it from the today screen (where I don't have it anyway). I want to prevent the device from locking by itself...

Well, than S2U2 is conflicting somehow with HTC lock and it's making it react. Try uninstalling S2U2 to see if if it acts on itself again.

As for complete removal of lock, I think it's embedded on ROM.

I believe it's embedded into the ROM. I've got the same problem with the built-in lock because I sync to my exchange server at work to access work email. The only way to disable the built-in lock would be to remove your outlook settings.

I know about the lock when you use an exchange server, but that's because of a policy from the Exchange server. I don't use a Exchange server though. I'm quite sure I'm just missing some "standard" WM setting here... just can't find it

That was the only way I could find to prevent it from locking.....uninstall I mean.

i was never able to locate a setting for it.
