Same on the new O2 (mini-s) UK ROM (v2.21.4.101), but thanks for the great work so far guys!

My current setup is to bind the voice tag button to the lock with no tags, and then use the power button to sleep the device (or just leave it to time out).

Would love to see the -install working properly, the -pwroff is of no use IMO as it only locks the device if you sleep it manually, whilst the "on wake" event applies the lock regardless of how the device went into sleep (ie time out).

Vijay - if you want me to do anything for more feedback or testing anything new pls feel free to PM me
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Beeble: I've effectively stopped supporting this app because's Matt's locking program released at the same time is better implemented IMHO, ergo, Occam's razor, n'est-ce pas?

However, I'm working on several new releases to celebrate the launch of my new website, coming Any Day Now®. After that, I'll try to bring this app back up to date, and from there will start considering the Wizard issues again.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Beeble:
Ok, i'll give Matt's version a go! and keep up the good work, love many of your releases - guess i'll have to remember to keep an eye on your site :)

It's entirely likely that I'm just functionally retarded, but I was really looking for an application that would allow me to push and hold the "call end" button and lock the device, similar to what I get on the HTC Faraday (my other phone)... Does this or the other device lock application do this? I installed both and was not able to figure this out in either case...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
No, don't think so. I could incorporate it, but probably won't as pressing and holding call end currently disables GPRS instead. I'll work on a button redefiner one day, but for now, consider using AE Button Plus to do this.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Baxter:
Vijay, I've been looking at some of these device lock apps that people are writing but I've realized that what I really want is an app that simply prevents the device from waking without pressing power. I would like to hear audible notifications, rings, etc but would prefer the device to stay asleep otherwise. You know of anything?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Baxter - break down the request.

What you really need is a hardware button lock - so only power on switches on phone.

Then you'll need a software lock that permits phonecalls, alarms etc, to ring through, but then merely add a timeout so that it switches itself after say 15 seconds of activity.

I don't know which apps do that. It's easy enough to write, but checkout AlarmToday etc by pocketmax.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Baxter:
Thanks for your attention.

I've looked at Pocketmax software but I did not see any features that lead me to believe that you could prevent the device from waking on notifications. Guess I'll dnload and see. I'll gladly pay a few bucks if it does what I want.

I'm a bit confused by the timeout you are referring to. What is the purpose?

I had envisioned a small app that was always running in the backgroud. When the device entered standby (either by pressing power or by timeout) it would prevent wake until power is pressed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Well, maybe I misunderstand. You want audible notifications (ie reminders, alarms etc), you want to hear phone calls etc. So what exactly would said app actually do that's different to what happens now when the device is off?

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wenv:
Vijay,

thanks for the great apps.

Thanks in advanced
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
That's sounds like quite a good idea. I can consider implementing it, but this app is fairly low priority for me, so I've made a note of it, but can't promise a fast response on it... very busy on some other stuff first :(

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Baxter:
Please take your time. I'm happy that you have even acknowledged that this is possible. I have read requests in multiple forums for the ability to prevent wake and accidental calls.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe you shouldn't take your time. Innocent people are getting hurt!!! LOL

"A veteran Vallejo, Calif., fire investigator said a cell phone that was left on caught fire in a sleeping man's pocket, causing a fire that critically burned the man and heavily damaged his apartment."
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cellneuron:
No idea what are you talking about. Show me a cell phone which DOESN'T turn on when a call come in. WM5 won't turn on during notifications of appoinments, email or SMS, but it DOES turn on when call comes in, which is necessary for people to see the ID, picture or just reject it with SMS. With you suggestion, when a call come in, you should draw out your cell phone, press the small power button precisely, then see who is calling, then decide accept or reject. Isn't it not so smart?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cellneuron:
I am wondering if VJ can make the unlock easier. Now we have to click the left softkey, then press the unlock button precisely to unlock it. If you happen to power on the device using other button, you need click the left softkey to cancel, then click the left softkey to unlock, then click the unlock button to finally unlock it.

Is it possible that you click one button to lock it, click it again to unlock it. If the wakeup option is chosen, click the same button will power it on and unlock it.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Baxter:
It's analogous to opening a flip phone before deciding whether to answer or not. As I stated in a previous post, I'll gladly press power first if it means that I won't have to deal with accidental calls and answering the phone accidentally.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cellneuron:
Which flip phone doesn't turn on the external display when call comes in? How can you decide to answer or not if you can't even see why is calling?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
I've not had time to do any VJDeviceLock work for a while, but am thinking about it. I'm working on a special implementation, which will be hopefully one button unlocking on some phones - eg on my Hermes, I can use the useless Video Call button to lock/unlock the phone.

This is a feature I'll try to finalise and release at some point, but I just don't know if anyone uses this app anymore. Someone just reminded me about the auto-locking function I built in, and I'm finding it pleasantly useful on some Crossbow builds... (Universal, not Hermes btw)

Sorry, forgot to add. However, given the general calls for issues with overriding the default notifications, eg Screen on when SMS comes in etc, unlocking the screen, I might work on a more invasive lock app. But for the time being, I like keeping VJDeviceLock short and sweet.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Baxter:
You are missing the point entirely. I actually posted why this would be useful but my post seems to have been removed for some reason. Many people complain about unintentional calls when their phone is in their pocket. Absolutely no reason why the phone has to turn on when you get a text, call, etc. If I am in my car, in a meeting, at dinner, etc there is no logical reason why the thing should turn on and start calling people. Complete oversight by microsoft to not give you the option in Sounds ans Notifrications to choose wake or not. The 8525 button layout is such that if it is in your pocket and you get a text, the thing is in autopilot. Had to dump my 8525.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
But I think the distinction can be made more subtle then that - the problem is not so much the phone coming on (well, except for battery drain issues), but the fact that the notifications override the screen "lock". The lock is generally effective, except when you need it most - ie stuck in your pocket.

ie: Reminder goes off, screen comes on, and phone is semi-unlocked despite being "locked".

If the lock truly was effective, it wouldn't be a problem. Sure, you should be able to choose to have non visible alerts (ie no screen on), but for now at least, the semi-effectiveness of the lock is the problem.

I would address this either by monitoring lock status and ensuring that it does take priorty over anything else on screen (ie reminders can't circumvent the lock), or entirely replace the lock with a more effective solution.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Baxter:
I personally do not want to have to "unlock" the device to use it. My understanding is that you cannot map the power button to perform other functions such as unlock. I would be happy if that were the case. Pressing power could turn it on and unlock transparently.

I currently have 3 WM5 devices: Torq P120 - Eten ROM, 8525 - Cingular ROM, Trinity - HTC ROM. It is interesting that the Torq fully wakes when I get a new email but the 8525 and Trinity do not. I only get an audible alert. All other notifications wake all 3 devices. This lead me to believe that it may be possible to disable wake for other notifications. I scoured the registry but did not find a simple solution. I started looking for an app to do this. I found that such apps exist for Palm but not for WM5.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cellneuron:
That's weird. In my wizard, the only notification which will wake up the device is phone call. All other notification like alarm, email, sms and appoitment just have the audio notification.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cellneuron:
Please, please don't do that. I using vjdevicelock all the time, I really like the whole setup except the two buttons unlocking. Unlocking the devices to accept/ reject phone or dismiss/nozzle notification, NO WAY. It is so reasonable that the notification by pass the lock and popup to the user to make the decision.

Why is there any unintentional call? I don't understand. Once you lock the screen, there is no way to make any call. If the call come in and wake up the device, you may happen to hit the softkeys to make unintertional decision, but the chance is so rare that we can ignore it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Baxter:
I was making several unintentional calls every day with my 8525. The phone buttons are really exposed and are essentially continually depressed in your pocket. Everytime I got a txt msg with it in my pocket it would dial the last caller. Thank god it doesn'twake for email or I would have 3 times that many.

It should be simple to make it not wake for notifications like your wizard. That would solve 90% of the problem even if it did wake for incoming calls. However, I personally prefer that it did not.

where can I find the VJDeviceLock ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jpaq:
Dear Vijay,

I agree the "semi-locked" state when notifications come are indeed a problem. I like to keep my phone in a leather case or the provided pouch or just bare in my pocket. When a call comes in, many a time I have accidently answered a call before I actually wanted to or was ready to talk or I accidently rejected the call (not very good if its an important client/customer/boss!!).

Hey guys!

I find Swappa lot better than Ebay, and even cheaper. Problem is most sellers are US based and won't ship internationally.

As I'm based in Europe I end up loosing nice deals cause buyers will not ship internationally.

So, what I'm looking for solution for this, maybe someone who can ship me those phones.

Kinda like act as a bridge in between US based buyers and me. I'll pay for it of course per unit shipped.

Please send me a pm!

Thanks :)
[General Topics] Clark Joseph Kent:
Sir, this is not the place on XDA to try to "bridge" a sale.... Yes there are many sellers that will not ship internationally, but there are many other sellers that will. You have to be cautious in asking this from someone to be your shipper, you can not "trust" or look for this type of service via XDA. Swappa is moving in the right direction, as for as having International seller/buyers.

Bottom-line what you are asking is not for XDA posting and working via your PM system. You need to address this via the buyers on Swappa.

Any more, you can send me a PM regarding this matter. Thank You.
