Ok here is my question:

I am trying to figure out how to enable my 8300 to automatically black out the screen and lock the keypads out after 15 seconds or so of inactivity. I then want to be able to unlock the keyboard without having to enter in a password. Essentially, I want the exact same function as the "holster lock" only without the holster. Instead of the holster's magnet locking the keys, I would like the keys to lock after a small amount of inactive time. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this. I do not want to have to set up a password to enter every time and I don't want to manually lock the keys before putting it into my pocket every time.

This is a major downside to an otherwise amazing phone. I'm coming from a Treo 650 and love everything about this phone except for the fact that it has been so difficult to set this feature up. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks!
Eric

I use a program called AutoLock. It's free and does what you described. Works fine on my Curve.

I can not post URLs yet as I'm too new, so I have to whack this out a little bit.

I assigned the left hotkey under usb jack to lock

I was using the let hotkey thing or holding mute to put it into standby mode, but that autolock program is sweet, I'm gonna be using that now.

U have to use the BB internet browser. I had the same problem, w/ opera, it was saying that there was an internal problem and i should refresh the page. So I tried the BB browser and presso, it works

Hope this helps

Ps.(Once installed)It's located in the "options" menu list, right under "Auto on/off" tab.

You can also just depress the Mute button (top left edge of phone) for about 3 seconds and your phone will darken and keys will be off. When you are ready to use it again a quick touch of the button fires it all up again. Quick, easy, no software taking up space. It may be all you need!
