Before you go through the test below, just give you a few background:

1. "IdleStart" only works if your device has a Backlight Idle time out

2. Since each OEM has implemented the system's power state differently, the information of the power state may vary from OEM to OEM.

OK. If you have any strange behaviour when "Autostart" or "IdleStart" is enabled, pls help me out with the following test:

1. stop iLock & SLIDE by running iLock the 2nd time

2. edit the iLock's registry setting (\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock):

- add a new value "DebugOn" which is a DWORD with value 1 (you can delete it or set it to 0 after the test)

- set both "Autostart" & "IdleStart" to 0

3. restart iLock

4. redo the abnormal scene, e.g. if SLIDE comes out if you slide the keyboard, then do it here... try to look at the screen & a single or a series of dialog box with a no. will be displayed. pls tell me those no. displayed (in the order they displayed).

5. you may repeat step 4 to any other abnormal scene.

6. repeat step 4, let the device untouch until the Backlight turns off by itself. A no. will appear. Pls let me know what it is.

7. for easy reporting, pls use this format to report your case:

a. Device name; OS

b. the action you take

c. the no.(s) displayed

Thanks.

Hi A_C

I didn't mean to be a fuss. Just thought of highlight what I observe. I didn't realise the difference is putting .lnk file in Start Up as compare to .exe and I had put the .exe file back. :-P

Anyway, I didn't change the setting as suggested and Slide seems to work much faster now after few hours of use. At first when I on my Trinity, it will show the screen of the last application I'm at, but now most of the time, it's 'Slide' application.

I'm a Phone Alarm user. Did notice there's less reminder now. Just did a test. Called myself. Missed it. Off the phone without checking the call list. No reminder.. not even the first one.

Tried smsed myself. First alert went through. Reminder came through as well though the phone is off.

Interesting thing now happened. Reminder for missed call just came through, after I've deleted the sms and sms reminder alert. Em.. wonder whether this is the problem with PA or some compatibility issue with Slide.

Hope your checking of PA v.1.6.01 will show some result. Once again, thanks a million for your effort. :-)

I found a bug in this program. Let's say you set the Autostart to 1. And you turn off your device. Now if you have a hermes(Dopod 838 pro), and you open the sliding keyboard. And then only turn on the device, you will get some error. and then you'll have to terminate the program and close the sliding keyboard.

PPL does not have a good support to Landscape mode (due to the development of PocketHAL had stopped), so no solution yet. That's why I always say the support/fix of SLIDE to Landscape mode is preliminary.

Is there a registry setting that will get around this problem or is it a restrictions in the application?

I'm not sure is it a compatibility problem. And there is no registry setting related to any alerts. But I'll try it when time is available. You're using the latest pA 1.6.01 right?

Yes I am running 1.6.01.

I believe I now have this working and was possibly an oversight on my part. Basically none of my alerts were working due to them pointing towards a WAV file that wasn't on my device. I have re-pointed these to the correct sound file and all seems to be working now.

Thanks for your time and what I great little app...

Going into lock with a hardware button

Hello A_C,

One question.

After I have installed the version 1.14 I cannot make Slide2Unlock to go directly into lock with a hardware button, when a attach Ilock.exe to the button he starts or closes Ilock as you described. When a attach slide.exe to the hardware button, the lock is being made but always after several seconds, not directly, even if he should go into the background.

With the former version this worked fast, is there a way to get this running again with version 1.14?

Greetings, Rob.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chsieh3720:
Thank you for v1.14!!!

I have installed v1.14 and so far I have very good experience with it. It looks like a good stable version that I can keep for good!

If you do take a rest, let me just say "thank you". But I would argue precisely because iPhone will be launched soon, it's time to stay active and beat iPhone by providing more features. Copying Apple's UI and providing more features is the only way WM can survive :D

And one feature iPhone may not have, you guessed it, is the ShowAppointment feature that I talked about before.

- I don't use this because it shows garbage characters on my Chinese WM5, even though the subject of my appt is English. I reported this before, but supporting none-English OS is tough; I know.

- You did the "second" thing in v1.14. Thanks!

- Along the same line as the "second" thing, I don't use AM/PM in the clock because for sure I know whether it's AM or PM right now. But I do need to show AM/PM in appt time.

- Just like SPB Mobile Shell Now Screen, I think you show next appt if there is one today or tomorrow. As reported before, SPB indicates it's today or tomorrow, but your app doesn't. This is crucial info to show too.

- But this app is better than Now Screen in one thing. If there is no appt today or tomorrow, Now Screen says there is no upcoming appt, and that's annoying to me. Your app just shows blank, and I prefer that.

I can't use ShowAppointment due to these issues, but I will still very happily take v1.14 as it is. Hopefully my feedback/testing was useful. Regardless of where is a newer version, good dream, great job, and thank you very very much :) :) :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vithudu:
Slide2Unlock 1.14 is working well on my HP6828 (WM5). Your application is the favorite on my today screen. I followed your thread since very beginning v1.07, and at every updated versions I successfully installed and enjoyed it very much.

However, one very small issue that I cannot "imitate" your trick to change the Phone Provider Name.

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\state\phone"

"Current Operator Name" (REG_SZ)

Current Operator Name="My Name"

Yet, I could change it until first soft_reset?!?. After soft-resetting, the "Current Operator Name" came back. So, can you help me to make this app to be perfect.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonneper:
So, if you follow the 2 steps, you must LOCK your device, OR, you're device is not compatible

copy the folder slidelock to your program file, an shortcut ( of ILOCK.EXE) in the startup of windows, and run ONE time the shortcut.After that ( for me ) I've make an other shortcup ( of SLIDER.EXE) and i've associate it to one of my softkey, but you can associate the shortcut of slider.exe to an "physical" key,

It's when you press your key that your device is locked , after you have to press the power button ( the red on my MioA701) that you can unlock by Slide2unlock.

If you press 2 times Ilock in windows/startup, slide2unlock is desabled.

So, ilock is called by windows at the startup and stay in the background, and WHEN you "call" slider by your shortcut your device becomes locked.

Whishing your understand me, excuse my very poor english,

PS: maybe, try to change some settings in the registry

Slide2Unlock 1.14

1. i730 WM5 Idlestart enabled

2. Open or close keyboard

3. Power, 10010000

The keyboard opening and closing should probably not activate ilock.exe

1. i730 WM5 Idlestart enabled

2. Notification for SMS pops up, when I click the screen, or left soft key to pull up the notification, slide.exe instantly pops up. and overtakes the message. Both ilock.exe, and the messaging bubble are called, with slide winning, (I can't see the bubble).

3. Power, 10010000

I can't open an SMS message until I actually open messaging in the start menu, and open the app. This does NOT happen with other notifications, like missed calls.

With idlestart disabled, neither problem occurs.

Maybe this is an oem issue?. I NEVER use idlestart anyway, so I dont need anything to be fixed. I just happen to notice the issue. Also I DO NOT use the default messaging app, I use the newest version of the Palm Threaded Messaging application found on this forum somewhere, which may be the culprit. This problem HAS not happened on any previous Slide2Unlock release though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Glad to hear that it's solved. :)

It's changed because it's now automatically mapped to the "power button" when "Autostart" is set to 1. You don't want that?

Actually, I want to take a rest from this project & start a new one... but now it seems not the case... :)

For your 1st request, the simplest way is to have an option for "Appointment Time Format", but is it too much options?

For the 2nd, on my device, if the Appointment is going to happen tomorrow, a word "Tomorrow" will be shown. If that's going to happen today, no prefix will be shown. I think it's already showing the Appointment date logically & reasonably.

I'm afraid that I can't help because that trick is only for WM2003/SE. :(

Or you may try MortScript that I heard some guys done similar trick before. It can be found in this forum.

Thank you for your testing results. They help me a lot. :)

I had this, i just mapped slide.exe to hardware button and it works fine
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rapvanbrunschot:
Hello A_C

The current function is Ok but I would like to get a faster (direct) lock when I use the hardwarekey. (now assigned to slide.exe)

In the former version this worked fast (hardwarekey assigned to ilock.exe).

The automatic locking works as a charm, no problems with that.

NB.: Maybe I do not understand the workings of connecting to the powerbutton ?

I wil definitely keep using your work, brilliant!

Regards, Rob

Mio A701, TomTom, SPB ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mdavenport:
Doesn't work well with TomTom

I think I have found another issue...

I use TomTom on my Hermes and whilst this is running my phone never turns itself off (battery or mains it never turns off), however when running iLock in the background it turns the phone off even when in TomTom. I unloaded iLock and re-ran TomTom and lo and behold the phone doesn't switch off.

Is this a bug or can it be resolved with a registry entry?

Thanks

Mark
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
With "Autostart" set to 1, every time you turn off & on (by pressing the power button slightly), SLIDE will come out.

For the hardware key setting, let me think about it...

Could you do one more test? Set "IdleStart" to 0; let iLock runs in the background; start TomTom... will it be turned off?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] uvz:
thanks sonneper for explain me ;)

but my problem isn't lock the device.

I have no problem to lock.

My problem is that, when the treo is locked, if I press the power/red buttom my phone go into unlocke mode.

So it is unlocked by pressing red button.

So my device isn't really locked as I wish..

@A_C

I use Pocket Secure for lock my treo750 (locked by password) and all goes fine.

But if I install WAD I have the same problem: if I press the power button, I unlock the device. (PocketSecure remain in background -locked- but the treo isn't really locked, because by pressing the power button I minimize the app and the device goes into today screen and so the treo isn't locked)

As well as your app.

Maybe this can help you..

Here you go mate :) I've included the dialler theme as well so your phone will look very similar to the iPhone's
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mdavenport:
Thanks for this, looks quite good but have a few questions if you don't mind:-

1. The Today screen seems to have only put the fish background on and has no icons like on the iPhone. How do I get a Today screen like that?

2. I like the dialer, however when I type the name of the person to dial it just types the numbers and doesn't show the name of the person?

Could it be I am still missing a few components?

Thanks

Mark
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] markquinton:
To get the complete theme like on the iPhone you need to either use Grump's iPhone replicate software or install Wisbar and download the complete iPhone theme. They're both available on here but tbh, I found Grumps solution hogged a lot of memory and the Wisbar solution seemed very complicated to get working.

The dialer unfortunately isn't smart dialler enabled, you're going to need to find either and updated one (I'm not sure one is available) or see if there's another iPhone dialler with smart dialling enabled.

In short you aren't missing anything, the 2 files I've posted work exactly as they should. But I don't want to swing A_C's topic completely off track so if you have any more questions then pm me.

hi A_C

I face a little problem over here.

1. The Clock of Slide Lock dont update its time when the display is off. It will only update with the latest time when I turn on the display screen. And my alarm clock dont rang due it read the "stucked" time during the display turned off.

2. When I run the iPhone display as background, the auto lock screen feature doesnt activate. It will only works on default "Windows Mobile Today Screen".

Can u solve the problem?

ilock and voice commander...

I'm using ilock with my t-mobile mda (aka wizard) and have noted an issue with version 1.14 that I did not see in any previous versions. When I use voice command via bluetooth, the unit comes on in a locked state...I ask my question about the appointments and the unit starts to read them, but after about 10 seconds, the unit turns off, cutting off the reading. Is there a setting for how long the unit is on with ilock before it shuts off?? Normally I have the windows ce settings at 3 minutes under battery, but with ilock active, it is now just about 10 seconds or so before the unit shuts off.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slee_0904:
HI, AC, first of all, thank you for the wonderful program and effort you have put into. I have a small question. I've installed the prog as you mentioned in the read me file. Everytime I press the suspend button, the screen is not directly turn off but it is blank (with backlight still on), however after few seconds it will turn off, though.... why is this happen?

Secondly, I've waited for the slide to start automatically after few seconds (without pressing executing the slide.exe?) but it won't start automatically. This is the new feature, in 1.14 isn't it?

My questions, may sounds dumb, you help is appreciated. Thanks:) :confused:

Great Work :)

One small issue i have is that the phone locks when i recieve a sms delivery receipt and also when i click on the notification icon in the title bar ;(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
To ALL

The problems can be summarized as below:

Q. No battery, no Chinese...

A. Pls read the readme.txt or the FAQs (how many times I gave such answers??)

Q. SLIDE comes out unexpectedly...

A. In v1.14, the "IdleStart" seems to be too sensitive. Actually, I don't know why some OEM applications change the system's power state to "Backlight Off" but actually not... like some version of voice commander & some notification programs. Anyway, I'll try to fix it in the next version and it's under testing. Meanwhile, you may disable "IdleStart" (i.e. set to 0) temporary to stop those weird behaviour.

Q. Alarm not work when iLock is running...

A. I notice this problem and trying to fix it. But still testing...

Q. Screen blink or blank when the power button is pressed; "IdleStart" not works...

A. Are u using WM2003/SE? As said in the readme.txt, "IdleStart" only works if your device will turn off the Backlight after a certain idle period, so WM2003/SE users are out of luck this time. For the "power button" problem, maybe fixed in the next release...

Q. Treo750 not works...

A. As I said I do not have this device, it's hard to provide any help...

Finally, pekro, you are so creative! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Ok, I ran ACB Power Meter for around 4-5 minutes for this lock with 5 second LCD off, but not suspended, versus my current lock program, Delta Lock, which so far has been the lock that drain the last battery power.

Delta Lock: around 80-90 mA average

Slide2Unlock: around 100mA average

I think that's worth it, although each time the slide lock screen pops up, it does go up to around 110mA to 120mA
