is there a quicker way to lock the device
 

I wonder if there is a quicker way to lock the device rather than ->"Power button"-->"Secure Device"???

Many thanks

double tap power button or use switch on headphone connector side.

.edit
Ohhh.. you mean lock?

slender, thanks for your reply. I mean lock the device, not shut down the screen.

Feel free to do whatever with that command.

Re: is there a quicker way to lock the device
 

pressing power button or using switch doesn't only shut down the screen it also locks touchscreen and in phones before touchscreen it was called key lock. But securing device is something different. If you press power button you have "lock screen and keys" shortcuts what i told apply to this and there is "Secure device" what you right now want to do from shortcut. So maybe we should not speak in this matter about locking device for sake of clarity.

what is the code to secure the device?

Re: is there a quicker way to lock the device
 

you have to set the code from settings. it shouldn't ask for a code before a code has been assigned(it should tell you to set a code for it), but that's how it is.

Default nokia pre-set code is 12345

thanks for everyone's reply, is there a shortcut way to secure the device?

Re: is there a quicker way to lock the device
 

post 4, but it needs some knowledge of system. So no easy way to do it.

Re: is there a quicker way to lock the device
 

thanks for the code. I already tried 1234 before! so close yet so far away. I have a suggestion for the autolock feature. I want it disabled when I'm on my home wifi network but enabled when I'm away from home.

oh that could be really nice to have

btw tryed to command and it works great with locking the device with security code

Re: is there a quicker way to lock the device
 

I assume you want to lock the device without the code?
At least the current way at least makes sure you know the code and can therefore unlock it. If you could lock the phone with a shortcut and it could be done without entering a code - you might never unlock it with out re-flashing? :(

Hi Slender

So therefore it is not possible to modify the sliding switch at the side to secure the device rather than lock it or have some desktop shortcut which would lock the device?

Thanks

thx very much for this thread i have the problem when i use the slider at the side of the n9 to lock the screen and i get an call iam not able to answer the call before i unlock the screen with the slider at the side of the device. Its a known bug i guess. But the good thing is this bug doesnt happens when iam useing the double power button way..

best regards crown

Uh? You surprise me. People have been complaining over and over that the N900 becomes unlocked once they receive a call:

@Andre if you use the small slide button at the side the behavior is like the ppl in the bug awaiting it , if you use the double tap at the power button to lock the device its unlocking when a call comes in. So i want that its unlocked couse with the first way you see whos calling for a second or two and then the screen turns black again. Becouse this i lost a few calls.
