I found you need to slide the lock button over and hold it over for a couple of seconds until you see the 'Touch screen and keys locked' message appear. Only then is your N810 actually locked. If you just flick the lock button over for a fraction of a second it doesn't get locked.

I got that program that locks the screen when it gets dark I noticed sometimes when I locked it it seemed to unlock or something some times. The Lock on dim light program works really well I tested using me finger over the light meter. Only downside is sometimes while using GPS at night it locks my touch screen but the inside light will unlock it or just slide it open.

Oh, I do that alright. I thought I was doing something wrong, but I'm convinced something is not quite right.

Once possibility is that your N810 may be crashing and rebooting whilst you're not using it. It reboots into an unlocked state. I concluded that's what happens when I find mine unlocked in the morning.
Mine seems to crash and reboot pretty regularly - sometimes multiple times a day and sometimes only a few times a week. No idea why - I haven't really investigated as it's rarely been a problem (except when it crashed when the GPS was telling me where to drive!).
Just open Xterminal and type 'uptime' and it will tell you how long it's been running. If it's shorter than the last time you manually booted it, it has crashed and rebooted itself.

How close does this sound to what you're experiencing?
. Locking the screen again; trying all keys tell me to use the lock slider. So it isn't failing as the bug described.Uptime is about right.

That is weird.Is there a log somewhere that holds diagnostics?

I left the NIT on the desk doing nothing. I've just looked again and the uptime is now 1:41! The damn thing has re-booted WTF? It was left in the off-line mode, as well. There should have been nothing going on to cause a re-boot!
STOP PRESS: I saw somewhere about /proc/bootreason,
cat /proc/bootreason gives:
32wd_to
Which I think is a watchdog timeout. Technically this is progres, though it doesn't feel like it.

I get the "Screen Lock Not Working" bug that General mentioned on my N810 anytime I've had the screen locked and I either plug or unplug the power cable or headphones. I usually just unlock and relock then all is well.

Does anyone else have a similar feeling that the key-lock is not staying on? I'm very careful not to knock the lock button and I'm sure it doesn't get bashed in the rucksack.
