Screen saver/ Keypad lock

2 replies · 3,194 views · Started 18 May 2004

Hi,

I've enabled the screen saver with password to protect my P900 from unauthorised use.
As I still have the keypad connected to the device I use the keylock also. However when the screen saver kicks in and a button is pressed the keypad becomes active so that the screen saver password can be entered.
This overides the idea of the keylock or is it me???
Any help/ ideas would be appreciated.

Kernow.

didn't think of using both features together (Key Lock and device lock)

I tried doing as you said and found that the Device Lock overrides the Key lock when it's active (which should be the opposite). strange it was never mentioned before, as I don't think anyone had ever used both features together...

looks like you'll have to deliver the bad news to SE (in case they still don't know about it), so it will be corrected in the following update 😉

good luck
