Guys
How do i keep the option of Auto Keypad Lock for the X1. The only option I find in needs a pin code to be used every time I unlock the phone. I just want a plain keypad lock after like 30 secs or 1 min.
How do I do that? |

I use the key lock function found in start -> settings -> system rather than the lock function found in start -> settings -> personal
this allows you to set the X1 so that only the power button will turn the device on, rather than any button.
Use that in conjunction with advanced power settings start -> settings -> power -> advanced to determine after how many minutes the device should turn off and thats probably as close as you can get to what you want using built in functionality

Yeah i use the same power button as of now but the issue is incase i get a call and dont answer it then the keypad is active. If the phone is in the pocket accidentally the keys get pressed. Hence need to lock the keypad. |

if you click the battery icon and go to the advanced tap tick the box that says "turn off device if not used for" and select how many minutes (max is 5;)
this will do the same as pressing the power button, only will do it itself  (it also saves quite a bit of battery)

I dont want to turn off the screen I want to lock the keypad. The same thing which key does under the REJECT CALL button. I just want that function to happen automatically. |

What you don't understand is that this function is happening automatically in combination with blanc the screen. The keys are actually locked except the one key that unlocks the phone and is almost impossible to get pressed accidentally.

you can use a software called slider to unlock.... S2U2. You can automatically lock the phone.... and there are many configurations that can be done. |

I'd be interested in knowing how to auto keylock the handset after x amount of minutes. Blacking out the screen is not ideal as I use the handset to view the time as needed. I have found myself mistakenly hitting all types of keys if I don't manually lock the screen. |

you can get S2u2 from here : http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-s2u2.html
The latest version is 1.37. But I'm using 1.36. I've read that some got a problem with 1.37.
some features of this application that I like :-
1. Turn off screen automatically during phone conversation
2. Lock screen automatically
3. BIG caller ID picture

So you want the screen to always be on, but keys and screen locked? Your battery won't last through the day doing that. |
