[Q] Android 2.1, no lock screen?? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
yesterday i flashed my X10 to the nordic 2.1 FW, rooted it and cleaned it up. Everything looks fine, but when i press the on/off button the phone online turns off the screen, but is still unlocked
When i push the button again i come back to my homescreen and not to the lock screen
Any suggestions?

Flash again

it's not a bug, it's a feature!
How did you do that? Don't want Lock Screen

You don't, must be a bug. Reflash or repair.

Find No Lock application on market. It handles that. Keep in mind that it must be running to work.

But it's not a feature of the 2.1 FW, and as the OP hasn't mentioned any apps it's more than likely a bug.

Remove slide-lock screen on TG01?

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!

Unwanted commands? that sounds ominous - I don't think this was the original method I used, but thanks!

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?

disable slide-lock screen:
Reg-key: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/LockScreen/Enable=0

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 !

[Q] Screen Off App/Widget??

Has anyone found a screen off/lock app or widget that properly works with the Atrix? I have tried Extended Controls, Widgetsoid, and Screen Off and Lock. They all "work" in a sense but they also take you to the "Stock" lock screen before actually turning the screen off.
I used to use Screen Off and Lock, but it stopped working correctly with 2.3.4. I deleted it.

Below is a link to 'Elixir' in the Market. Give it a try, see if that's what your looking for. One of its widget shortcuts has a 'Screen Off' function.
> Elixir <
*Edit*
After looking more at this app it won't do what your looking for. The developer says there's is a new version coming soon, so maybe then it will have that feature.

Same issue. All those apps mentioned by the OP worked beautifully before 2.3.4. I really had gotten used to just pressing a widget instead of the awkward fingerprint-reader-power-button. Now they just throw you to the lockscreen.
I hope they figure out a fix.

After an update, Screen off and Lock quit. It would lock the screen, but no off, even after a long time. Uninstalled and reinstalled it. Works fine again!
But, it does take you to the system shutdown screen first!

Looks like I found a simple little Widget that works well. You can give it a try see if its what your looking for. I just put the widget on my home screen, when it's pressed it goes in to a 5 second count and then shuts the screen of completely.

ditto. It's just like pressing the power button to lock.
That's good news, I guess all it takes is getting rid of Blur

My screen is turning on when SMS is received

I´m not sure if it was after froyo update, but my screen is turning on when I receive an SMS. Why is that? I want to stop it.
The phone should awake for a moment to the lock screen when you receive anything, messages or emails. You could turn off notifications and that might werk.

dont know if that will work or not
why the disable lock screen on the samsung original froyo rom doesn´t work? Even if I set disable lock it doesn´t disable, is it a bug?

The lock screen...

So I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of my lock screen...I selected the option to have no screen lock in the settings multiple times though it still prompts the lock screen...I use goexplorer...is that making it still lock(The lock screen is the stock version, not golock or anything)?
Yesterday I switched between sense and golauncher and for both selected no lock screen in the settings, though that still didnt work...lock screen still present.
any idears? Also, is there a way to get pandora planted on the lockscreen...I remember when I was testing the beats with the stock music player, you could change the song and so on from the lock screen...that was nice.
Try WidgetLocker.....it's not free, but it's great.
Oh thanks for the recommendation though I'm trying to get avoid any lock screen, so I can check my phone without encountering the lock screen

I don't think it can be done.....good luck though.
Pretty sure you can, maybe you can see if it works on your phone?
Settings>Security>Set up screen lock> Select "None"
I cant remember if it worked when I first got the phone(when I didnt have goexplorer)..the nexus has the same feature and it was great not having to unlock it all the time...I just dont wanna hafta uninstall the goexplorer and loose all my settings :/
Nearly impossible unless you are rooted.

all that does is remove any security from the lockscreen (pin, pattern, etc), not the lockscreen itself.
Hmm I'm waiting to root after the ICS update...did it not work on your phone(going to the settings and changing the security preference)?

That takes away the pin or pattern screen, not the lock screen with the ring.

ohhh bummerr
I use ADW, and when I have my NoLock app widget set to Unlock, I get no lock screen. When I turn the screen on, it goes straight to the last screen I was on.

does No Lock not work on the rezound? (Though I would assume it uses the same logic as the GO widget...)

[MiniCM7Pro v21] Problem with symbols on default text imput

Hi
Another problem... again... android... always some problem with it.
When i press "sym-au" key on phisical keyboard and scroll all the way down it freezes and stays there. It is possible to disable it, but it wont move, or clicking in any symbol has no effect completely unresponsive.
On virtual keyboard the same... blocking and unblocking device helps also restart. But its frustrating to remember about it. Is it any solution ? On stock rom there was no such problem.

Scroll the last part slowly (scroll it with your finger, don't fling it), it will stay responsive, if it does freeze, doing a rotation from landscape to portrait will make it respond again.

Thanks for tip. It helps.
So its known problem... this version of rom will be updated? Is there any way chance this will be fixed ?

NO, that ROM won't get any updates anymore, and the issue is present on just about all roms, apart from the original stock firmware. If it was easy to fix someone would have done that already, i guess, so i won't hold my breath.
Just think of it whenever you need something that's near the bottom, it's not that hard to live with.
