Is there any way to lock and unlock the 9900 using a front button or button combo? I hate having to use the top button. Ive searched all the apps - most just over lay so u have to press the power button anyway- and some have only unlock like with swipe but again no way to lock and also if u use the power button to lock then you have to use that again to unlock.

I just need a simple front button solution to lock and unlock manually. Cant wait for the timeout light out etc! Finally got that pressing A locks it but then again the damn power button to unlock! Cant I have A to lock and then B to unlock type of thing?

Anyone? Any app?

Thanks,
Ajay

Press and hold */A to lock.
Don't know any other way to unlock than pressing top key.

Pushing k does a password lock. I use this as I have my auto lock set to 30 mins.

Can't find a way to unlock without the top key though.

Ive been using BB for years but now will have to switch if i can't find a way around something like this!

Any app anyone knows of? I have quick launch but there is no option for lock/unlock else that would be workable.

Thx,

MediaKeyBooster + ShortcutMe let you lock, unlock keypad by clicking a media key once or multiple time (customizable).

If you use macro in ShortcutMe, you can for example double click a volume key to lock/unlock device (it will also automatically enter password and login using macros).

This works from any screen/other apps, so you don't need to go to BB Home Screen to lock/unlock keypad/device.

Hold the power button down and when the power prompt screen appears... quickly hit the back key.

Thank you so much! The button on the top of my 9930 works only occaisionally. I've been searching for 6 months for a solution. Thank you!!!!

The lock button, as a concept, is a little window into the soul of a dying enterprise. As applied, it isn't much better. Try the one on a 9800 sometime. The 3 stooges could not have made anything sillier.

I personally gave up using the lock button because I use the OtterBox holster. If you use OEM holster or a third party one which has a magnet.
