Help Menu button unlocks phone

[mmisterio]

Hit the power button to wake up the phone then just hit menu to unlock it. Instead of unlocking it on screen. Bug or intended?

mm interesting. Never noticed that. no idea

It is intended. I read it in the instructions somewhere, which is how I first learned how to do it.

HTC made it like that. Just incase you don't feel like swiping, the menu button is a bit easier.

Would be nice if the joystick button turned the screen back on instead of having to press the power.

There's a way to disable it (I read it on this forum a few days ago) but I can't seem to find the post and I don't remember what the steps were. Google searching was no help, apparently this existed in previous HTC models and was not able to be disabled without using an app or enabling a lock pattern.

Just noticed this on mine...any updates? I'm not sure if I like this easier unlock method yet, but I would like to know if there's a way to turn it off.
