1. TouchLockPro

TouchLockPro is a general purpose locking program for the newer HTC phones (see later on for known supported phones) and also for other types of phones (best to have VGA screen for setting easier options).

Post TouchLockPro comments on the XDA-developers forum thread.
Enjoy the *FREE* software and support!

1.2 But Windows Mobile has an OEM screen locker!

Yes, Windows Mobile locks the screen, but unlocks the Answer and Ignore buttons as soon as a call rings, so it is useless. The same happens when any notification pops up, the Snooze and Dismiss buttons are enabled even when screen is locked, leaving them vulnerable to any accidental touch.

Yes, but the newer ROM's (e.g. official HTC ROM 2.0.3) have already an "Slide to Answer" window in front when there is an incoming call?
That does help somewhat, but the hardware keys are not locked, so when taking out the phone out of your pocket/pouch, you can still accidently press the reject key. Also when there is another event which does wake-up the phone (SMS, email, accidently pressing power button, etc), the "Slide to Answer" window will not pop-up, leaving the TouchPanel and hardware keys vulnerable for presses. TouchLockPro will still prevent bogus calls in these cases. Actually, TouchLockPro can nicely work together with "Slide to Answer" solutions, because it has a possibility to automatically unlock only the TouchPanel when there is an incoming call (the hardware keys are still locked)..

1.5 Why is TouchLockPro better than other locking solutions

TouchLockPro is designed not to interfere with running applications and is a multipurpose locking application. Other locking solutions are often specific for locking only incoming calls/SMS. A lot of locking solutions also place a (transparant looking) Window on top of the running application (e.g. slide 2 unlock), so the information of the background application is no longer visible. This is not the case for TouchLockPro, so it can be kept lean and mean. Also the used resources is very very low.

1.6 Does TouchLockPro use much battery, RAM, CPU

Not at all, TouchLockPro is designed to be lean and mean! TouchLockPro does not have noticeable effect on battery life. It only uses 38 Kb RAM in memory, whereas other solutions often use much more. For example S2U2 uses 4 Mb (125 times more) and PocketShield 1.7Mb (50 times more) memory. TouchLockPro uses 0.0% CPU (check it with a task manager!) and is event driven. Polling is kept to a minimum (currently only for polling the light sensor, capacitive sensor and G-Sensor, only when neccessary). Requested features which would violate the "lean and mean" principle are rejected. Note that larger UI related stuff is done in a separate TouchLockAction.exe (e.g. editing settings), so the memory is only used when that program is active for a small moment.

1.7 Which other solutions exist

This is a list of other solutions, which may suit you better:

Built in locking of Windows Mobile

Stylus(BattC)lock

Get A Reward! Create A "answer Only With Hw Buttons" Option!

S2U2

PDAVIET's dialer

Phone Canvas VGA (some use this in combination with the built in locking of Windows Mobile)

Note that some people use TouchLockPro in combination with Phone Canvas VGA. So they use TouchLockPro for the general locking (accidently power on while in your pocket), and use the Phone Canvas "slide to answer" for unlocking when there is an incoming call. Also the newer ROM's already have a "Slide to Answer" solution installed (official HTC ROM 2.0.3).
