Bug with SPB Weather display

A_C

Great idea to display SPB weather, love the second animation added. Could do without the credit one to keep screen clean!

So for SPB, the icon reporting weather is not time sensitive, i.e. it reports the weather for the night only. It would be nice to see it reporting the weather for the current time

Thanks

Well i exactly the same problem. I was using version 1.15, i saw the changes log and i saw that perhaps the new version will not turn on the lock while on a phone call. I try it and tell you.

edit: I just tried the new version and it act exactly the same while on a phone call, the program turn itself on and when you try to hang up you have to unlock the device first then hang up the call.

Hey A_C, Is there a workaround this? I did tried using come registry setting with no success :(

Its a really great app !! I wont remove it from my phone but cant use it properly. I hope there is a fix to this ! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spangelsaregreat:
Hey A_C,

I have noticed that since installing ver 1.16 my phone has hung. On both occaisions it has been left in standby mode and when you push the power button nothing happens. The green light is still flashing suggesting it is on.

Only a soft reset with the stylus seems to rectify it.

It is an MDA Compact 3 for info.

@The_hesham

Pls read the readme.txt... if you don't know how to edit the registry then this version is not suitable for you.

For your power saving problem, could you provide more details?

All problems solved by readme file

The remaining:

1)Appointment shows part of it (6 words out of 9) could it be in 2 lines

2) How I can change the theme to what u have in the first post or the green vista theme or others (as attached)

3) How to reduce the Appointment and dates font?

Thanks 4 the very proffissional work, and sorry for disturbing.

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] colonel00:
Great work A_C

Forgive me if I have missed this somewhere, but is there a way to select Fahrenheit (for us silly Americans) instead of Celsius for the Spb Weather icon? The Spb Today plugin looks fine and is formatted in F so I assume your app reads from somewhere else. Regardless, again, great work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DMAND:
Same problem here, has happened twice to me, no phone function at all only soft reset brings it back to life but Im running version 1.151 on my XDA Orbit/Artemis :confused:

Great app btw, keep up the good work,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
a sugestion now, maybe try to include the wheater from the htc touch home plugin.

would be great
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spangelsaregreat:
The_hesham,

The theme files are stored under the GFX\res folder and are called

wallpaper.bmp

and

wallpaperL.bmp.

Simply create two image files of your choice to the same dimensions as these files and copy them into this directory.

You may want to move the original files elsewhere in case you want to switch back to the fish.

hi A_C,

you did it again, your newest WM2003se v1.161 iLock.exe patch works perfectly. the battery icon, clock alarms, notifications, and uber nice animations all work great on my xda magician! kudos to another of your wonderful achievements! :)

again, a bundle of thanks for truly going out of your way and continuing the WM2003se series! if ever you think of something new to add and need someone to test it in this OS, you can count on me to test it faithfully.

regards,

myownregister

to all,

i'd like to let all other forum viewers to know that this guy A_C is truly a great guy for always keeping us to our toes in his app dev'ts. he asks us all the right questions to better catch the problems (important to people w/o any techie knowledge in software dev't like me) and makes sure to quickly address each issue to the best of his abilities as quickly as possible. i have never encountered such a dedicated developer. cheers to A_C! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] The_hesham:
Thanks

Is it requires a special size or dimension?

Still the probleme of the short information in the appointment and how to reduce the appointment font.

Hi myownregiste, u r absloutly right-------

Oh my god, my computer cannot detect my Phone anymore! I tried on my computer running Vista and another computer running XP. Both are able to charge, but neither would open up ActiveSync. When I open up ActiveSync in my phone, the left softkey "sync" is greyed up and can't be chosen.

The right softkey "Menu" can be opened and shows these items

Options (greyed out and can't be chosen)

Schedule (greyed out and can't be chosen)

Status (greyed out and can't be chosen)

Add Server Source (can be opened,but only to add Exchange Server)

Connections (option to "synchronize all PCs using this connection" which is checked on)

Connect via IR

Connect via Bluetooth

Man, I don't know what to do. I may have to hard-reset if I can't solve this. If that's the case, I don't think I'll be using Slide2Unlock. With the alarm issues and activesync issues, this nifty program may not be worth all the trouble :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sadlybrokeboy:
I fail to see how you can even begin to attribute this to Slide2Lock.

Have you tried unticking "Enable advanced network functionality" in the USB to PC bit of the Settings/Connections. Might just help you.

Or try deleting the partnership and starting again, or if all else fails - try doing a Hard Reboot.

But how you can ever say it's Slide2Unlock - I think you're greatly mistaken :) As others have said - try searching the forum and you'll found other suggestions too!!

Matt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Because only thing I have changed since yesterday is upgrade from Slide 1.51 to 1.6. That's when I got the dangling notification and ultimately the ActiveSync failure.

I know about the "enable advanced network" and tried that too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ktagliareni:
slide 2 masks incoming caller ID in wm2003se

First off. Great little app. Considering how much of a pain its been finding easy way to lock the screen.

using v1.16 and incoming calls randomly show caller ID. Sometimes it works others not. Any ideas? I suppose that sometimes the phone app is running and other times in bg running. if that has anything to do with it.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] andason:
Great job A_C! I love the weather option.. i was trying to think of a way to do that and get the data from online.. are you using the registry and piggybacking from the weather app? Also, is your animated text from ppl or the ilock app? If ppl, may i ask what method you are using to create text animation? or is that some sort of .jpg?

oh.. The closing animation is awesome as well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SeanFromSoCal:
I'm getting this same error too. I installed v1.16 and the OEM lock compatibility is fixed but now get the message above.

And strangely...for the life of me I cannot duplicate it again. Earlier today it was giving the error message at almost every wakeup. I think it needs to be asleep for a while. Its not doing it for me now, not even with a soft reset.

But I vouch for Meehaa...this error does indeed exist :-P.

Thanks A_C, you are 99% there towards buidling a true masterpiece. Thanks a lot Also isn't this just perfect timing for such a great app with all these AT&T iPhone commercials. Now time to make the friends jealous as to what a ifonegeek i've become. =)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SeanFromSoCal:
I briefly read a previous post where someone deleted notifications using MemMaid. That's why ActiveSync doesn't work. There is a notification that you need to keep that "notifies" ActiveSync to process when the USB connection is made. You deleted it.

Slide 2 Unlock is great...don't try to spread false information by blaming it as the cause to problems that you've done on your own.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the_scotsman:
Well I have the same problem, and I have proven that SLide2Unlock is causing the problem because if I uninstall, Sync works...but with Slide2Unlock installed, I get an error when trying to Sync.

So A_C, add this to your bug list...with your program installed, I am getting Sync erros...pity because it's such a great little program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Calm down, I'm not hating it. I'm just saying that the alarm notification problems still occur, and yes, I probably did erase an important ActiveSync notification, so that is my bad, I admit it.

That said, I'm all for A_C to continue his wonderful project, and hopefully this notification issue gets fixed. And I understand everyone's zealous remarks. I've been excited about this app, too, if you read all my past posts here. Losing ActiveSync did freak me out and yes, I'm forced to hard-reset because of it, and it's not fun having to install everything again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] colonel00:
Just one other suggestion on this great app. I know that there are a lot of people out there that use Weather Panel instead of Spb Weather. Perhaps this can be added at somepoint as an option instead of Spb Weather.

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pthomson:
Fantastic job ac I especially like the animation on the new version. It matches grumps perfectly. Thank you for your hard work. I'm thinking this project is near the end what will you be working on next? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dfkimbro:
A_C: More info and debugging results are below. I assume that in debugging mode with autostart and idlestart disabled, SLIDE will not start from idle, and all I should see only the debugging messages. Is that correct?

Device is a Samsung SCH-i730, WM5

Previous SLIDE version 1.151 uninstalled and registry entries erased

SLIDE version 1.6 for WM5 installed from CAB

Backlight idle is NOT enabled in control panel, due to a known error with this device

DebugOn=1

Autostart=0

Idlestart=0

Test 1

Device is on

Slide keyboard closed

Power: 10010000

Test 2

Device is on

Slide keyboard open

Power: 10010000

Test 3

Power off (idle) using power switch

Power on (wake) using power switch

Power: 400000

Power: 10010000

Test 4

I allowed the device to go to sleep (idle)

I slide the keyboard open after a short time (less than one minute) and device powers up

My info is displayed and I click to clear it

Power: Woke up notification

I click OK

Power: 200000

I click OK

Power: 10000000

I click OK

Power: 10010000

I also intend to perform 2 additional tests which have resulted in the error message:

1. Slide keyboard open after device has been idled for several hours

2. Allow a notification message to "wake" the device

Do you have any other recommended tests?

Please forgive me for the long post; I can send future debugging results via PM if you prefer.

Again, thank you for your work on this!

can't use with ozvga correctly

My pda is htc universal, i install ozvga 0.53 on it, then i use use slide 2 unlock on my machine,

the slide2unlock can't show on screen correctly, it only show on one fourth of the screen, btw, i set vgafix=1 in slide2unlock...

Is anyone use ozvga with slide2unlock whose pda can show the slide2unlock correctly?????

thanx....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Hey guys,

After reading 4 pages of posts since my last login, I feel very upset... :(

May be its my fault that I've underestimated the differences between different branding of WM devices. It seems some functions are going out of my control or expectation. This project brings me no more happiness. I think I should STOP here go back to my real life. (if you visited my photo album, you'll know what my hobby is... and maybe we'll meet in other forums)

In short, if Slide 2 Unlock works on your device, you're lucky.

If SLIDE comes out too often, e.g. during phone conversation..., set IdleStart to 0 & restart iLock.

If the device could not wake up, try these patches (WM5 and WM2003)

If still not work, pls throw SLIDE away.

Good Luck!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Thanks. SLIDE simply read the weather data which is stored in the registry by SpbWeather. All the animations are done by PPL. You should try it out.

Good Luck!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sadlybrokeboy:
A_C - don't be to disheartened by some of the muppets here.

They seem to forget that the name of this forum is XDA-Developers - it's for developers to mix and discuss things.

We all know we try these things at our own risk - so don't get too down, just remember that some of these idiots just don't want to figure things out for themselves!!

Keep up the good work - some of us more than appreciate what you're doing!!

Don't go getting upset by some of the minor problems that have occured (some people will moan about anything & everything).

This has been a great piece of programming & I for one am very greatful for all the time & effort that you have put into it.

For me it's my No1 app on the Orbit.

Your work is greatly apprieciated.

Just simple thanks

Dear A_C

I've been a silent visitor to this forum for a long time, but I want to post this message in order to say thank you.

Don't be effected by those who don't appreciate your effort (or don't read the FAQ).

You gave us a great application
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
A_C

Thanks for this wonderful application. It has made PPC Phone so much more interesting.

Maybe what you could consider is to spend less time doing this if you still wish, but more time on your hobby. = )

Really sad to see you leave this 'baby' of yours here. = )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabbyg:
Dont get upset man. Even though it was a bit buggy, i never took it off my 2003 pda. Now with the patch, it works great and is a finished job for me. Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication.

p.s. in case you get a bit bored of "real life" maybe come back here once in a while will help. :D

Cheers mate
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] myownregister:
hi A_C,

it's both sad and nice to hear about the culmination of Slide2Unlock's development. sad because i have become such a fan yet nice coz this also means the v1.161 is now officially the final version. and as i have mentioned before, my deepest thanks A_C for all your efforts and hard work. please don't get disheartened by some of the posts here. they just have to know one thing: from v1.0 - v1.161, it simply means that there are lots and lots of versions of Slide for every single device or OS. they simply have to use the version that works best for them. it may be the simplest one or if they're lucky, the latest ones. but the fact that you have been able to get this app working in the first place should already merit everyone's gratitude. now we all have a truly wonderful piece of customized programming to enjoy! :)

so thanks again for your patience and understanding pal! on behalf of everyone that understands the purpose of this forum, CHEERS to A_C! :)

regards,

Thanks again for your excellent app!

I guess I am the only one with a SPB weather issue. So I will deinstall SPB Weather and cleanup the registeries

Could you point me to the registeries you are reading?

[edit]: A couple of install deinstall and adding and switching cities fixed it

Thanks

A_C,

Please accept my apology if my posts caused you distress. I realize that you didn't develop the SLIDE as a commercial software package and were kind enough to share it with the world.

Thank you so much for your hard work and willingness to assist others.

Please don't let the device-specific or user-specific problems upset you. This is a wonderful piece of programming, and has shown me the true potential for customizing these devices.

And in response to other posters, I guess I do need get a copy of PPL and start developing some of my own apps.

Duncan
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
A_C,

I apologize if I'm sounded a bit harsh earlier, but it's just that I really like this program a lot, and that I do want to see it get better. Just be getting as far as you have on Slide is awesome!

You can do it, man. You got it in you to make this so great! You can look at this forum and other forums and see how many hundred downloads your app has gotten. Keep at it!

A_C,

I also want to add my thanks to you for all the time and effort you spent on this great application. It is one of the true gems of PPC software.

Of course the choice is yours to not continue the development, but I want you to know your efforts and passion did not go unnoticed by many of us on this forum. I know I couldn't wait to see what new goodies you added with each new release.

Thank you and best wishes.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dfkimbro:
Here's a potential workaround for those experiencing PPL runtime errors (access violation at 0xf8918) when SLIDE starts from sleep mode.

When I had the Owner Information screen set to display at startup, I would frequently get the PPL runtime error. Since I disabled Owner Information from automatically starting, I have not seen the error and the program works as intended!

Duncan

p.s. After a search of the entire forum, I discovered a similar recommendation from A_C in the other SLIDE (ver. 1.101) thread.
