Anyone know how/if the INITIAL screen lock that comes on automatically can be disabled? Reason is; I use the built in pattern lock and its good enough for me. I know I'm goign to hear about a million other lock programs but I like to keep it as vanilla as possible and the built in pattern locker is fine. I just dont want to have to go through the first screen lock and then the pattern lock. I would like it to just come on and display the pattern lock. Anyone? ;)
 
Has anyone found a way around this issue? I also find it very annoying to have to go through 2 lock screens if you want to use the pattern lock.
 
Only 100% I know of is to ROOT your phone and install a ROM that has no sense built in. a.k.a Vanilla ROM.

I'm in the same boat but haven't run into a reason to ROOT yet. For me the phone is working just fine the way it is (for now:))

This is my biggest complaint about the HTC Sense UI. It is very annoying that I need to first unlock the Sense lock, then the built in Android lock. It should only be one, not both. The pattern lock on the Verizon Droid (OG) was stock, and with one touch to the screen, the phone would unlock after drawing the pattern.
 
It's the simple things like this that frustrated me. With the BB, you just turn it on, and it goes straight to the password lock. No need try bunch of random shit.
 
Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
I have tried both liquid thundersense and sonofskywalker blackhole ROMs and neither of them helped. No Lock, as was said above, disables both lock screen and security pattern screens. I also bought WidgetLocker and that didn't work either.
 
Ya this is a huge hassel. I tried for days to do this to no avail. Finally just gave in and installed nolock, get rid of the hassle all together. Nice to be able to turn the phone on with the volume buttons. And after using it for 3 months, you realize that touchscreens no longer need locks to prevent it from randomly butt dialing because it's pretty much impossible.
 
You guys may want to also check out Widget Locker in the market....absolutely the answer to all my problems. Its a tremendous program and NO I am not affiliated with it in any way!

what doesn't work about Widget Lock? it does pretty much every combination of things one could want. Plus the sliders right on the initial lock screen are awesome. The support was really good too. They guy told me about some hidden functions that resolved my problem. For me I wanted to use the volume button to wake the phone and Widget lock did that great but it would also adjust the volume every time...so he had me check a hidden box and that went away. Now it works perfect. Probably the most useful app I have on my Bolt.
