Default Auto lock when putting in case

Please Login to Remove!

Hey guys, I did a search in the forums and the FAQ and couldn't find the answer... im afraid because it does not exist :(

I love the auto lock feature my new case provides, but is there a way to auto unlock when I take it out. I don't like the way you have to press 2 buttons to unlock the phone.


Thanks! This forum has been amazing to a new BB user!

Welcome to the forums,
If you turn off the lock when holstered then the phone will just go to standby when in the holster. Isn't that the same thing? What's the point of locking it if it unlocks when you remove it?

Ok.. I didn't realize standby kept it from buttons being pressed. I thought it ment just like when its out of the case and the light goes off.

So it's different?

yes, it's pretty much locked when in standby/in holster. However, you can still silence a ringer, etc.

I usually use the mute button on the top.

That's true with a BB holster/case (OEM or otherwise) with the "proximity sensor" magnet in place that puts a BB device in sleep mode, rendering the keyboard inoperable. However, aftermarket holsters/cases without the magnet will not put your BB to sleep, but only go to standby which turns-off backlight - keyboard remains functional as if it were out of the holster...
