Verizon SCH u740 Locking Shortcut

Does anyone know how to lock the u740 (completely, so that you need to enter a code to use it) without going through the entire menu? It is EXTREMELY annoying to have to go to the entire menu (settings, phone settings, security, enter my code, lock mode, device, lock) to do such a simple task.

try holding star

Do you see a Hold button on your phone? If so, press AND hold and it will lock all the media and side keys while playing your music. If not playing your music, you can use this button to activate the front screen (checking time, etc.). Press and hold it again after screen has been activated, and it will lock all keys except the HOLD key.

Let us know if this worked for you or not.

All the hold key does is lock the touch sensitive keys on the front. I am looking to lock the phone, requiring 4 digit password to unlock for use. The only way I know to do it is through the menu. (settings, phone settings, security, enter my code, lock mode, device, lock)

It would appear that going through the settings like you said is the only way to lock it then. I couldn't find any more info on this, sorry....

thanks anyway.

good answer
