I hate the pin keypad on my lockscreen. When I unlock my phone it is easy to see which keys I've pressed because the key lights up and the number shows briefly. My friends iphone has a much better pin keypad where the number is never shown (not even for a split second) and the keys don't light up.

I have been trying to Find a Macro Mapper or some kind of 3rd party ap to lock my device when i press the power button. The only work around at this time is to use Lock Device with 4 number pin and 0min lock setting. however i am tired of constantly pressing digits and would rather use native Lock Function that requires bottom left tap to unlock than middle right side tap to confirm unlock. However, it is only initiated from a Lock on screen tap.
IF anyone knows how to enable this lock by pressing the power button which is in my case on the right side of my mogul(PPC6800) that shuts off the screen and powers down to standby i would greatly appreciate it. this is also a replacement for S2U which has a few bugs with slide out keyboard and memory leaks.
Try this...

there is a program by spb that has this funtion... I don't know the name of it but i will look around. I don't remember the specifics of it, but there was a check box that says to lock teh device when you hit the powerbutton (or anytime the display turns off)
i believe it is SPB mobile shell
"Device Lock
Spb Mobile Shell 1.5 improves usability of device locking. Now you can lock your device using a hardware key, soft key on Today or a shortcut. You can also unlock the device using only soft keys. When your device is locked the Now Screen shows you the most important information, so in most cases you don't even need to unlock the device. "

you can at least try it out and see if it does what you want.
damn i apparently didn't didn't read all of your post... so you don't want to use slide2unlock.. hmm i guess your best bet is to try spb mobile shell and play with the options to see if you can get it to do what you want -- unless of course someone wiser than me knows of something else.

it turns out that what i was really was thinking of was slide2unlock
http://ac.xenpage.eu/S2U2-0.99c-WM5.rar
(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353008)
options:
lock when device wakes up --- on/off
lock when backlight turns off ---on/off
power off in --- (time in S)
but blank screen only -- on/off
blank screen on talk -- on/off
then it has some other options for how it looks -- but if you don't mind doing the slide bar to unlock the phone it will do what you want.
In order to turn on the phone's display, I have to push the power button.
I would like the display to turn on when I slide out the keyboard.
Is there any fix for this? I have tried AEBPlus but didn't see any way to add a hotkey.
Thanks!
For security for improper usage while in pocket or hand bag the key are usually locked. Sliding is not possibly on the screen either. You can do one thing is to check the options in settings and keylock to the "Lock Buttons if Device is Locked" so press anybutton, but not the keyboard button because it will not work
Right now I have to enter a pin to unlock the phone when I press the power button. Is there any way to slide to unlock, then the enter pin menu comes?
I want this so I can quickly check the time/weather without logging in all the time. Right now i'm greeted by a big ugly pin entry screen every time I press the power button.

I use Widget Locker for my lock screen and I also use extended controls for my toggle bar. Extended controls lets you set an "auto lock" button. This lets me toggle the pin lock on and off. This lets me have a slider screen first and then a pin screen second (but only when I need it).
anything free?

Not that I know of, but Widget Locker is really customizeable and you can do a lot with it
When "in a call", the screen that shows the contact info at the top half with the call duration and the phone options being on the bottom (ex. add call, dial pad, end-call, etc). Is there anyway to flip flop the contact view with the phone options? Reason being, when I press the dial pad button, the keypad pops up on the top half of the screen, making it hard to press numbers with one hand. At most, this may be a suggestion at this point, but I have been searching everywhere about this and I cannot come up with anything.
bump
Hi, these days i got an idea in my mind. So, if i have a pattern or pin, is possible to unlock phone(bypass the pattern or pin) by triple pressing(or more) the home button or draw a gesture on screen with screen off??
