Hey guys, I've been attempting to track down and duplicate instances where Diablo and device lock would fail. So far it appears to revolve around mail but would like to know what else might be causing it or if anyone else can confirm it's happening on their device with Diablo installed. In a worst case scenario: if you lose or someone lifts your device with Diablo loaded, they can have full access to it when the device lock fails so it would be nice to see this fixed.

My steps for recreating this have varied results, had a friend with a n810 report that setting up mail crashed his desktop when new mail came in and he had to pull the battery to flush his settings so he could boot it properly. So be warned that this might reveal some extra bugs in the process. Additionally, you might find that device lock works then doesn't work in some cases. I've opened bug 3331 for this (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3331) so contribute what useful info you can.

To get started here's what I did, feel free to reboot the device between each step to check that everything is working. Overall my device settings are pretty much default.

(1) Set up the device lock for your device from the control panel (default password is '12345') if you haven't already. If you've flashed from Chinook and used this before the password should be whatever you set there. Set device lock for 30 minutes or an hour.

(2) Set up the default mail (is it modest now?) to check your Gmail account using IMAP. Don't tweak anything else here, the default update interval should be 2 hours.

(3) That's it.

My process currently involves me leaving the device on overnight with Skype running and being plugged in (this kind of ensures the wlan connection is always active). The device locking and unlocking for now appears completely random, if anyone with better knowledge can log the activity of what's going on while it's asleep and locked that would be better. But so far I've discovered upon waking up that my n800 unlocked itself and mail threw an error reporting "Internal error. Application 'E-mail' closed." with a few new messages appearing in the extended menu and device LEDs blinking.

Later this week I'll attempt to see if the device unlocks itself from a fresh power up overnight. If someone wants to try this from the start, that's cool too.

Bizarro.

Thank you for filing the bug, i'll pass it over.
