Hello Friends,
In Windows Mobile (I use HTC TD2 - WinMO 6.5.3) has only one “screen lock” for entire phone.
But I have seen some Samsung mobile (may be Samsung Star – Touch model) that has one application where we can lock several stuffs. Like SMS, Contact, Call History and the Screen Lock too. So even after the screen is unlocked the user still need to enter SMS pin to open SMS; Contact PIN to open Contact etc.
In Sort: The device has multi level locks.
So I was looking for if we have some similar application already out for windows mobiles?
I have seen
Thanks,

Thanks Corwin9S for your reply.
Just wanted to reconfirm, if this has SMS Lock, Contacts Lock, Call History Lock etc along with the iPhone Style Screen Lock?
Edit:
IN the device that I seen (Samsung): Even after the screen is unlocked the user still need to enter SMS pin to open SMS and Contact PIN beore open Contact etc. Mean that has multi level locks.
Thanks,

No, S2U2 will just put a password when you unlock your phone, it won't lock other stuff.
Edit: I think I know what you mean, my pixon did it too, well, you could always change the start menu shortcut to a simple app that asks a password to run the actual app. I am pretty sure I saw something like this around here before.

Is there a way I can lock certain programs such as my contact list, messages and emails. Or do I have to just lock the whole phone?
Any help is much appreciated.

I don't understand what do you mean by locking applications. However, you can remove them as a sense tab by going to settings on the HTC Sense and change it accordingly.
I think that he means is there a way to have those programs password protected ("locked"), meaning that in order to access those programs you need to enter a password.
(This is for non-cyanogen roms) This is about shortcut for dialer tab under phone application -
Its annoying sometimes the default behavior of 'Phone' icon. It will launch the call log always and what I have observed that the call log takes much time to open. SO in situations like you are taking a phone number, you will launch phone application then you have to wait for some time till call log opens and then go to dialer tab to type a number...(meanwhile friends will laugh at you for the speed). LauncherPro has the shortcut for direct dial but we may not always use LauncherPro. Well, for all users facing similar problem, here is solution -
Create a temp contact with some minimum number. ex. you can create a contact named 'dummy' and number as 0 or +91 which is applicable for every number you dial in india. Install DesktopVisualizer. then create its widget(1x1) and ask it to launch shortcut of type 'direct dial', select above created contact as target. Now, DesktopVisualizer has a limitation that from a wodget, it can not directly dial a contact instead it will launch dialer tab with that number typed in there. We can use this limitation to solve our purpose. Check check box that says launch dial pad blah blah. and done. this widget click will launch dialer tab for you. the number we gave is 0 or +91, so it dose not affect dialing any number ahead.

Hello, thank you very much about the info. I just came to know that DesktopVisualizer is the one preventing me from direct dialing out from the the directdial shortcut widget.
My question might not be relavent to this topic but could you please give advise on how to get rid of the desktop visualizer and allow me to use direct dial again.
I have tried using DialerOne app and it gives the same result, redirecting me to stock dialpad with number... i wish i can dial it out right away.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
I used HD2 before and quite annoying with feature in windows phone 7.5 (my Titan)
For HD2, call list was grouped up for the same contact name while WP7 doesn't. Is there any solution for that, I did not see any option for us to collapse the one.
Thank you

It is called "Link Contacts"
Tap on your Windows live contact. At the bottom tap on chain icon/link icon. It will show you other contacts with same name. Tap on each of those. Tap back. Done. Linked. Collapsed.

Thanks friend, but I did not mean that. For example, I called you 10 times a day, call list will display your name 10 tiems accordingly. HD2 (WM6.5) just displayed once and you can open it to see your calls.
Any other option??? Pls advise

Nope, with call history there isnt any option as such. I would prefer my name and then (10) next to it. Like old Nokias. But there isn't any way around unless we dig deep into the registry.
I have been searching ALL DAY (literally) for an app that is like Smart App Lock where I am able to shut off the app lock service by sending an sms to the phone. Smart App Lock works great, except for the fact that I can't divide between locking some apps all day and some on a timer. It's either or. So I am forced to have to download a second app lock. But I can't find one that has the same feature of a remote sms unlock/lock.
Any ideas?
Hi all
Just got the Gear S, do not own a Samsung Phone, using it standalone (for now).
Anyone figured out how to add contacts to the watch?
I select "Contacts" from the menu. All that is happening is the spinning animation with the text "Syncing contacts". I can't add a contact from the message app or the call log either.
I dont want to go back to memorize numbers again.
edit1: tried to add some contacts to SIM card. Not picked up by the watch.
edit2: added some contacts to SIM card. They do appare on incoming calls, and appares in phone application when searching in the dialer.
You can't. Majority of the functions of this watch requires a Samsung phone. The only thing you can do is make or receive calls, send or receive SMS. That's about it. Some built-in apps may work (weather, HERE) to certain extent. Most apps won't without a phone.

Yepp, unpaired and alone this thing is dumber than a dumbphone. Not a problem for me actualy, I have a dual sim phone, so I just dump all the contacts to the sim card. I can see who's calling me and search my name in the dialer. The "contact" homescreen does not work, but that is fine by me.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking to run the gear s as stand alone and getting my contacts to appear was the main issue holding me back. I was happy to discover the trick about activating it without a Samsung phone and your contact trick might be all I need.
I carry two phones - work and private. My private phone is a phablet that I love (Nokia 1520) which I do all my emailing and browsing on. My work phone is just for calls and sms so the smaller the better (carrying two phones is a pain especially one being a phablet), but I need my contacts to sync via my exchange account so I use a small smartphone (Nokia 800). I'm hoping I can go Nokia 1520 and gear s stand alone using the tricks posted here.
The gear s seems like a perfect solution - I actually need the two phone numbers (and, yes I have thought about a dual sim phone but there are issues with that scenario). Although, I am suspecting that as much as I love my 1520 I might end up getting a Note 4 to make it all more convenient, but I just hate the thought of android, sorry.
My SIM contacts automatically shown in Gear. But i want to add new contacts. Is that not possible?

I think Samsung may have out-of-the-box disabled that feature simply for that reason-- to encourage users to have to use it with a phone. However, on the Tizen Developer website they list the source code for a simple contact manager (ah! New user, can't post links yet... just Google the Tizen SDK) that is able to interface the contacts API. This should be pretty simple/straight forward to compile and implement for the watch with the SDK.
I haven't quite made a decision about whether to purchase the S, or if I had more time at the moment, I'd do it. However, my point being the contact restriction I believe is only concerned with the built in contact app... I see no reason why another app should not be able to access it and thus get around the apparent limitation.

Adding contacts to your Gear S2
You can add contacts. I just did it. You have to log into your online account via your cell phone provider.
Just got the Gear S, do not own a Samsung Phone, using it standalone (for now).
