Automatic key lock? - Motorola Q Forum

jbonome · 04-01-2007, 02:15 PM

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if there is a way to set the Q to lock the keys automatically after a certain period of idle time?

Thanks for your help in advance,

JB

start-->settings-->more-->security-->check the box labeled prompt if device used for...then fill in what you want

Is there a way to do it with just the unlock option? so that I can avoid the whole password thing, Id like it to lock automatically but be quick to unlock when i need to use the device.

in theory you could just make it one character like the key lock is just * key...

Keylock allows for the unlock then *. No need for an extraneous password.

right this is what i use but...he is looking for it to lock when in active for a certain period of time...
aside from a potential 3rd party app(im not sure if it exists) i think this might be the only way

It's probably a dumb question but I downloaded the autolock and I don't know how to install and set it up.....I have downloaded several other programs and got them all up and running but I can not figure this one out.....any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Thanks. Works perfectly.
Was able to set up so that phone automatically locks after 15 seconds.
Unlock is via same method that comes on the phone. Unlock - *.

You are basically getting to download a CAB file, you could even browse to this thing directly from your phone and download and install...

So:

Copy that .CAB file over to your phone by Exploring your device when you are connected via activesync.

Then explore (from your phone) to the folder you just copied the .CAB installation file to, and it will install it for ya!

Hopefully this helps.
