Manual devicelock - maemo.org

There's one thing I don't get. Why can't I lock the device manually when automatic locking is disabled?? (two question marks emphasizing my cluelessness)

To work around this I modified /usr/share/jolla-settings/pages/devicelock/devicelock.qml and added a timeout of 24 hours:

Code:

MenuItem {
    //% "1 day"
    text: qsTrId("1 Tag")
    visible: deviceLockSettings.maximumAutomaticLocking === -1
                || deviceLockSettings.maximumAutomaticLocking >= 1440
    onClicked: lockingCombobox.setAutomaticLocking(1440)
}

Code:

} else if (value === 1440) {
    return 6

but what? In 2.1.1.12 the device gets locked after around 3 hours automatically instead of one day.

So I don't see a chance to lock my device just manually. I have to set automatic locking to "not in use" and change it to "no delay" when i have to lock it. Strange.

But besides that I got quite convinced of th UI concept after two weeks of asking myself "why is there no real home screen (as in fremantle), which is launcher, switcher and events view in one"? In fact I'm already really happy with my Jolla C. Using it feels very smart to me.

Did you tried fast doubleclick power button for device locking?

Yes I did. When automatic locking is set to "not in use" double pressing the power button does nothing. Should it lock? Did I something put wrong?

I just checked and I can reproduce your problem. Seems like a bug.

As a note, I wanted to set the dbus action for device locking to the power key using mcetool, but after figuring out the code with dbusinspector

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.nemomobile.devicelock /devicelock org.nemomobile.lipstick.devicelock.setState int32:1

it turned out that the dbus signal also doesn't work when automatic locking is set to "not in use".
