Lock Screen

[jphudy]

Is there any way to turn off the "slider" lock screen. It's obnoxious.

The unit will not enter any screen touches if it is locked until you either (1) shift the display to partially reveal the keyboard or (2) press the lock button at the top.

Because it's virtually impossible to have an errant entry of either (1) or (2), the additional use of the slider is a PITA.

I just want to wake the thing by (1) or (2) and have the home screen appear immediately!!

Anyone?

So, it's safe to assume that removal of the "slider" screen is not an option then? Too bad....

In addition, is there a way to get rid of both locks? 99% of the time being able to touch the screen is all I want to do to wake it up. Even my storm could pull that one off. It's especially frustrating while running. If I get a message I have to hit a button, slide the unlock screen, hit the tiny notification bar, drag it down, and click on it...all while running full speed. Is there a bluetooth command that'll basically do "open whatever just came in!"?

I would like to do the same thing. Everytime the screen "sleeps" it locks the phone, annoying. I just want to turn off the auto lock, I can lock the phone when I need it locked. I've always had the auto lock feature turned off on all my phones. And I cant for the life of me find it on this one!

Very poor of them to leave this feature out, if it is infact left out.

Somebody please! This is really annoying!!! One or the other feature would be fine but we don't need both.

Hopefully there will be "An App For That" pun intended.

I'm on the other end of the spectrum. All of a sudden my phone won't lock when it goes to sleep. It used to, then I made a call on it and now it won't lock. I have no idea what happened. How do I get it back so it locks when it goes to sleep.

Also, at the same time this happened my Home and Search "buttons" stopped working. They vibrate when i touch them but they don't do anything. Menu works in most screens but the only one that works all the time is the Back button. I now can't get to any homescreen widgets!

Please, anybody help?! I assume these things are related but who knows. The phone is about 30 hours old and this doesn't bode well....

Autolock does this but its a buck

Wow, a feature I've been waiting for in my converged devices for the last eight years, and everyone hates it -- lol. Just proves that everyone's needs truly are different! There definitely ought to be an option to disable, though.

I think it's kinda weird that no one is chiming in on this....there really must not be a solution for this. How sad.
