Hi all
the Tosh' TG01 has a lock button on the side (the power button) and doesn't need the slide-to-unlock-because-we're-pretending-to-be-an-iphone screen that means you effectively have to unlock the device twice every time you want to get to a text/call
How do you disable this?
I know you can because before I re-installed 6.5 (don't ask, Toshiba advertised an upgrade that wasn't) I had disabled this with advice that I thought I got from here, but now I can find no info on this here or on google.
so, how do you disable this annoying 'second' lock again?
help me xda-knobi, you're my only hope...

Here's my (simple) advice, but think twice because of possible unwanted commands on your tg01 while in pocket and getting an in-call or sms:
Go to windows/startup and delete autokeylock, soft-reset: here you go, no more slide lock...
Thanks great post and advice it was getting annoying!

See my edited above post, I suppose I made myself more clear...
Ah I see -
fortunately I am in the habit of locking the phone before putting it away, although I would rather not lose the auto-lock in call mode, or my cheek will be pushing buttons...
I you still want the phone to lock in calls, just use s2u2, and just set it not to lock in general, but to use s2a, and it'll lock during calls only...(by lock, i mean the one thing that'll actually respond to touch will be the hold/ignore slider...which is quite small anway)

Thanks, I'll try that. Although it annoys me that I know there is a method that doesn't need extra apps because I used it before...
would something in the registry disable this?

That actually did the opposite of what I wanted, all that does is replace the slide-to-unlock with a very hard to see old style winmo unlock that made me think my phone was broken!
I'm trying to remove all "soft" locks so that I just push the power button to lock/unlock.

Well, so simple and so good. I was always wondering why lock/unlock software ( with sliders ) on WM6.5 eats irreversible almost 5MB of memory after first action. It never appears on WM6.1 where lock/unlock does not eat almost any RAM.
It turned out this switch enables old fashion ( WM 6.1 like ) lock/unlock .
Now I have additional 5MB of RAM and lock feature still active.
Thanks mirolg !

I did a search on PPCGeeks, XDA, and Google, and couldn't find any app to make the touch screen on the Titan interactive - similar to the way the Voyager touch screen works (quick vibrate when the screen is touched).
Is there any app like this? If not, can someone make one?
Thanks!
You would think HTC being one (if not THEE one) #1 Smartphone manufacture that would have SOMETHING similiar to the iphone or Voyager. The HTC Cube to me is very "amatuer" looking compared to the iphone and Voyager UI. Even microsoft couldn't make anything similiar...hopefully WM7 will blow us away.
I agree that the Cube looks pretty basic (that's why I won't put it on my phone, but I do have the TouchFLO).
But what I'm looking for is for the phone to do a very quick vibrate whenever the screen is touched.
That technology is called Haptics and it is much more than just the phone vibrating. Haptics allows you to physically feel a vibration exactly on the spot of the screen you are touching. Your phone has to have Haptics vibration built into it to use it and there isn't a single HTC phone out there using the said technology.

Indeed.
That said, I'm still interested in any app that does simply what whiteblazer01 asked for. I'm always looking over my fingers when I'm trying to dial a phone number. I'd be willing to give a simple touch-response app a shot.
Anyone?

I have been looking into this also. Especialy when i use the media player or just the main screen shortcuts.
In the mean time I was able to find a CAB somewhere in this forum that enables vibration feedback when you dial a number. It replaces the tone with vibration. I hope you guys like it. (Sorry I dont have support for it because I am not the original creator of this CAB)
Make sure that once you install the CAB that you soft reset after.
Hope you like it.
That's exactly what it is - Haptics. Thanks for the link. The program [email protected]$ put a link to (thanks!) works on the keypad, but it really doesn't feel like the Haptics system. O well, its still cool though.

I was thinkin about how we can make the phone vibrate when we tap the screen in any application instead of only the dial pad.
I came up with a theory that might give us some type of haptics feed back. It might not be exactly like haptics but it could make the phone vibrate.
There is a feature in our phone that can enable the phone to play a sound when we tap the screen for any reason. I was thinking why not replace the sound with just vibration like the CAB that changes the sound to vibration on the dialer?
Im not experienced at programming, but I am willing to take a shot into making this possible. Maybe some one can get a hold of a good programmer or some one good at registry tweaks to make this possible.
Just an idea

Great Idea [email protected]$, deffinately move forward with it, Ive been using the phonepadvibrate (essentially the same as what you posted) for well over 2 months now and love it. If you could do the same with the normal touch screen it would be amazing.
Yes its not full haptics, but in my opinion it really doesnt need to be. some sort of physical feedback (ie a slight vibration) would be great when working with the touch screen.

Carlos, I definitely agree, I would love to have that whenever the screen vibrated. Although, I don't know who would be willing to do that. I remember when I had the Apache (XV6700), I thought it would be cool if someone could make the LED lights on top into indicator lights for the shift and caps keys - which never happened (I don't know how, otherwise I would do it myself).
In fact, I wonder if someone can make a cab to have the shift and caps buttons make the indicator lights turn on whenever the buttons are pushed, not just when shift lock or caps lock are enabled.

It is very possible. I found other sources and they have some sort of program / prototype that can make this happen but it doesnt work on every tap of the screen.
What I want to do is make mine work on every tap of the screen but have the ability to turn it off and on to save power. Like turning the notification for the sound to play when you tap the screen on and off.
So far I have planned some steps to do it through the registry but since I am not an expert at programming like others are here it might take a while.
But any help is very welcome to complete this project and make it available for all.
As to changing the LED's on your phone. I think no2chem and some other guys found a way to customize your LED settings, but I'm not sure if it will be custom enough to indicate caps or shift. Maybe in the near future.

I am sure you probably have. I have the copy of the program that enables this feature. I believe it is extracted from a phone that has haptic feed back. But it is an executable.
This program is faulty. It doesn't respond on every tap and has performance issues. Other then that there hasn't been another one developed.
I'm trying to find a way to fix the issues of of the one that I found. Maybe by creating a new way to enable haptic feed back like I posted on previews posts, but it might take time to develop because I'm still learning how to mess with WM Reg. and programming.

Let me know what you find out Carlos. I would agree with you that it may be better to have the phone vibrate maybe when any button is pushed instead of anytime the screen is tapped (or maybe have the option to choose?), and also have the option to turn it off. Lol, maybe we can call it "Taptics" instead of Haptics.
As for the LED's, I'll check with some of the other guys about what they can do. I do a lot of modding myself with other electronics (cars, motorcycles, game consoles, etc...), but I don't really get into programming all that much (although the logic makes sense to me).

Okay, so I noticed the phone does vibrate, however, when using the keypad while in a call, it makes a different tone, and does not vibrate.
Also, is there any update on ways to make all buttons vibrate (and configurable) when pressed? And of course, an option to turn the feature off?

I am not sure for all buttons but there is a CAB to make the phone vibrate when you press the screen. I tried it out and it works, but it's faulty and kills performance.
I'm still working on this project. I haven't had much time to work with it, but if any break through happens then I will post it up.
Done a search and can't find a solution...
With the 'easy to press' buttons on the HD2 the phone screen keeps powering on in my pocket (I use phone lock to stop auto dialling).
This is draining the battery...
Any way to stop this happening? Say, have just the power button only turn on the screen, after a long press for example???

Try settings / system / keylock settings. There are options to set the buttons as non responsive except for the power button.

I have this same issue and I've got a stock 3.14 tmobile rom but when I go to settings / system /, there is no options for keylock settings. is that on a custom rom?
+1 for this
From new my phone used to have the option of locking all buttons except the power key ... until I did my first hard reset, then it vanished! I would have thought the settings app would have been in the ROM, so restored after the hard reset, but obviously not.
Anyone have a cab for it or care to extract it from their HD2?
<quote>Try settings / system / keylock settings. There are options to set the buttons as non responsive except for the power button.</quote>
Nope, no such option on my HD2...
Seems we need 'keylock.exe'
Anyone got it and know if it will work in an HD2?
Ok, at least I know I'm not unique now...
i've installed Hd2ProximityScreenOff-0.2.cab which I guess turns the screen back off quickly if an "in-pocket" button press brings the screen to life. (can't confirm what happens in my pocket, but seems to do the trick in my hand)
but I'd really like to know if someone knows how to get to this keylock setting

try pocketshield software. it has feature that turns your screen immediately off if its in pocket etc with proximity sensor, also its great and cool.
I'm going to be blunt here and say straight up that I don't remember how my phone used to answer phone calls......I know that sounds stupid but I literally do not know if I slid to answer, or pushed a button, or what....but here's my problem:
As of right now, if someone calls my phone while the screen is off, it will pop up with answer and ignore buttons. This has enabled me to "pocket answer" twice today, because when I try to get my phone out of my pocket, one of my fingers hits "answer" .......... surely it wasn't like this before? I have never had this issue.
How does a stock atrix handle calls when the screen is off? How do I get it back to the way it was? I feel like a full-retard for not knowing what it used to look like, but I cannot remember!
Call screen pops up with sliders. Remains locked afterwards. So you can answer calls without unlocking your phone. If you are managing to stroke the sliders in your pocket, who knows whats going on in there!
My phone has had sliders for answering/ignoring calls since I bought it on 4.1.26.
Do you have your phone set to auto answer? Settings, call settings, auto answer.
If the screen is on and a call comes in you should see "answer" and "ignore" buttons. If the screen is off and a call comes in you should see slide to unlock buttons for "answer" and "ignore". I don't think there's any setting to toggle to enable/disable the s2u for answer/ignore.
When you wake your phone do you see a slide to unlock screen or does it just go straight to the phone home screen? I had this happen to me and a factory reset fixed that up.

disable widgetlocker and see if you still get the problem behavior. Here's an old thread describing your exact problem with widgetlocker being the culprit. It's over a year old so I would have thought it would be fixed by now. dunno.

I'm assuming widgetlocker was fine and dandy before the 2.3.4 OTA update right? Anytime there's a major release level update, e.g. 2.2.2->2.3.X, lots of things can go bonkers for 3rd party apps. Some things can break even with a minor release update, 2.2.1->2.2.2, but it's not as likely. It's just how it is in the world of software. fun huh?

The incoming calls give me two options to receive.
For some calls, the phone shows the SWIPE option, and other times just to TOUCH the green or red buttons.
Why so? Is it normal?
Is there way I could disable the swipe option and keep the simple touch option?
Thanks

As above. No way to change it. If the screen is locked, you have to swype. If the screen is unlocked, then it's just press to answer.
Reason being, if your phone is in your pocket, it cannot be accidentally answered without performing the swype action.

this is really bad user experience, especially for older person.
EMUI sucks. And basic android also. I cannot believe the operating system still does not let user increase size of icons ( like windows does). Nokia was 10 times better ( before microsoft took over) at user experience, but they missed the smart phone wagon

Hey google not responding with screen off or locked?
Tried enabling in the settings, still only works when phone is active?.
I have same problem ... It works only on lock screen, not when screen is black. So for example if I have accident and cannot move my arms, then I cannot use assistant to call for help, because I need to push power button (or double tap screen) first . This is very sad, just imagine how many people dieded because they could not call for help .
