Just to share, I've experienced twice the phone hung at the 'Caller ID' screen. Not sure whether it is because I use iLock from 1.184 while the S2U from 1.182. Had copied S2U from 1.183. Will see whether this problem persist.

hi all...

patch 184 made my treo caller id stop working. 183 worked perfectly for me, The keyboard though, has moved to the top right of the screen.

slider!!

Hey guys....

When i press the power off button.. And on it when i want to use my PPC,

i realise that the Slider is already turn on.

How do i set it to turn on after i press the power on button?

A_C...

Yup... you are correct! I'm using Atom life!

Darn.. why does this happens to me!

Sigh...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
Same with my device.

I tried all reg-settings...

Are there devices (WM5) where the Alarm runs without problems?

Are there only few users that use there PPC to be woken?

I allways have to stop (and do not forget to:) ) slide2unlock before going to bed
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Clasimodo:
I'm using a Tytn (or Hermes) with WM6. The alarm is working fine with patch 183 on my device. (I'm not using patch 184, because the acceptscreen isn't showing for unknown numbers.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
I found this page: http://www.beauvais1.com/archives/2007/05/04/solution-for-windows-mobile-reminders-that-wont-dismiss/

Fixed my issues as well. Alarms work fine now..

Looks like there needs to be a way to delay the network time sync when the unit powers on. YMMV...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lebaowth:
problem displaying bmp?

hi... brand new member; first post:

I've gone through these forums a bit and I haven't seen this addressed much.

I'm on a i730 and when the program attempts to launch, I am informed:

error loading image

\program files\slide2unlock\gfx//res//unreadmms.bmp

I can read bitmaps (even the specified unread mail bmp) easily on my phone... I don't understand why a bmp would hang up the launch.

Can anyone explain to me why this is happening?

btw: love the program! been using since 1.17... stunning really
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
Some brilliant links! Thanks CheezWiz :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lebaowth:
stamp out repitition and redundancy :-)

sorry to seem so urgent but I would really love to know why my wm5 i730 won't launch the unreadmms.bmp image from 1.8

I've tried to patch it with 1.84 patch but to no apparent avail

please help *sniffle*
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Where you got the v1.18 CAB file? In the very first release, the unreadmms.bmp is missed. Try to get the updated one in the 1st post; reinstall it; then copy the v1.184 patch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
what is the contents of your registry entry for the Wallpaper?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lebaowth:
most wonderful developer ever

first off, it is amazing to me that the person who is developing the software is kind enough to humble himself answering questions for little peons like me

thank you so much

secondly, I can actually find the unreadmss.bmp file and it seems to be in the correct folder and everything... is there a command line error in my exe? does the original destination path in my error code make sense?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dfkimbro:
You might try editing the registry entry for the filename. Change the file extension from wallpaper.bmp to wallpaper.jpg. Also change the wallpaperL.bmp filename to wallpaperL.jpg. I believe I had to do the same on my i730, but I'm not sure if that was because of previous versions of S2U and previous registry entries or not.

-Duncan

Disregard...I replied too quickly without actually reading the problem. I had a similar error message, but it was regarding the wallpaper files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lebaowth:
oops...

my bad... apparently, I thought I saw the bmp it specified but I was mistaken... after looking more closely, you are absolutely right... it was missing from the folder...

now, I will try to track down the correct cab

thanks a ton for your help a/c

I am happy to look into your coffee fund :-)

Thanks A_C

Thank you so much for everything i have seen so far A_C.

However I do have a question. I have recently loaded the newest versions of the software on my HTC 6800. For some reason, the cab is only installing the actual lock screen and not the status screens or caller screens. If you could give me some pointers on how to get into the registry and what I need to to get my mogul fully functional with this amazing interface i would much appreciate it. Also, possibly some pointers on changing the background pics as well. again, thank you! :D

More details about 1.18x patches

Hey guys,

To let you know more what you're using, I decided to let you know more technical details about them. Because I'm right now a bit confused & maybe you can help me out...

Currently, iLock uses SNAPI (State and Notifications Broker API) to get the Incoming Call; Caller ID; Caller Name/Number status. At first sight, they're very easy to use. Only a few lines will help you get a lot info.

But in real life, some kind of asynchronisation occurs. It seems that when a call comes in, after a while, the Caller's info will be fired to iLock. But which one comes first (ID, Name or Number) is out of order & sometimes unpredictable. These problems reflected in the v1.18x patches:

v1.18 ~ v1.182 - iLock gets Caller info when the incoming ring is on. The result is some Caller info are missed

v1.183 - iLock gets Caller info when Caller's Number is ready (ignore the ring). The result is some Unknown Call is received even though the Number can be found in the contact.

v1.184 - when the phone rings, iLock will wait until the Caller's Number is ready. The result is some device even does not notice a caller.

Other than that, there are also some downsides, like the content of the Caller's Name is limited (Last Name then First Name), and the delay is quite noticable. Should I switch to other API like TAPI or RIL? It seems to be but they're more complex to be used...

Any thoughts from you guys? Thank you!

@CheezWiz

The "phone call end" problem should be fixed in v1.184. Just make sure you have updated both SLIDE & iLock. (Sian, pls do that as well)

And thank you for your findings about the Alarm issue.

I've another finding that some guys use iLock to fix their device Alarm problem... interesting huh... :p

http://ppcgeeks.com/workaround-found-for-alarm-sleep-mode-bug-t6374.html

@o2crazy

Did you mean your Atom Life has 2 power buttons - power on & power off?

@SprintGuy

Please read the README included in every CAB & patch file.

Lastly, pls note that a few days later, I'll be out of town & out of reach for almost 2 weeks. So if there is any findings, just drop a post here. :)

Problems with 1.8x

Still having problems with v1.8x. v1.7x works fine, but any 1.8 version can eventually use up 100% of the processor, causing Windows Media player to stutter (or worse) playing MP3s. This is not an issue with 1.7.

I think some improvement had an unintended consequence.

My settings are:

ACBlankScreen: 1

ACIdleStart: 1

ACOffLCD: 1

AutoStart: 1

BlankOnTalk:0

BlankScreen:1

CloseApp: 0

DpadOn: 1

IdleStart: 1

OffLCD: 10

ShowAppointment: 0

ShowSpbWeather: 0

Speed: 2

VGAFix: 0

and, when using v1.84:

CallerID: 0

NoSuspendMode: 0

SafeMode: 0

I am using a Sprint Treo 700WX.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kdub808:
With this latest version I have the following settings:

NoSuspendMode: 1

BlankScreen: 1

AutoStart: 1

My problem is when i turn on the lock it never turns the screen off. It just turns the backlight off and if i touch the screen it comes back on. Any ideas?

Edit: Looks like it's working now.

Thanks,

kDub
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
Same on the HTC Trinity/Dopod D810...I also left a post on the guy's site to let him know but he agreed that he can only test this on his XV6700...

A_C Hope you have a good break mate, you deserve it! I was also suprised to see that link you posted of ppl using S2U to solve their alarm problems! I had earlier problems with both SPBTime and the inbuilt WM5/WM6 alarms but I've now started using pTravelAlarm and so far, no problems :)

See ya on the flip side!

weather stuff...

not to seem at all picky or ungrateful, but I don't suppose 1.84 supports weather watcher at all, does it?

I'm using the iphone type skin and weather watcher seems to integrate nicely with the weather icon... it would be cool to have that on slide as well...

is weather watcher one of the three options or is there a sneaky way that I could patch this in myself?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi A_C

I didn't manage to download the whole 1.184 patch (from page 1) the first time. Just downloaded and installed it. Will observe it for a while. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@BlackBeauty

Thanks, man.

@Westronics

For you requirement, v1.17x is already more than enough. But thank you for the reporting, will look into it later.

@lebaowth

There is no other weather plugin yet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mchorney:
A_C, can you tell us what new features you think to introduce in near future?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
Hi A-C

Great work, thank you

i have Eten M700 with WM6 & your slide2unlock is working great but i have 3 comments/questions:

1- the caller ID works sometimes & some other time it says "unknown", i tryed all the proposed solutions & fixed the registry (added a string with "unknown") without final fix. i also noticed that the registry addition for some odd reason converts to "phone-Incoming" by itself??? had to edit it to make ID work again.

2- when the WiFi is connected & slide2unlock cicks in it disconnects the WiFi, once i am unlocked it trys to reconnect..that was a problem as i use IM+ & skype chat programs that i leave online..i fixed that with changing from suspend to LCD off only when the slide2unlock is active

3- the background/wallpaper can be only certain image formats (jpg, bmp i think), can you try to add GIF ..it will be way too cool if the screen is animated while the locker is active..

ohh..also, (i think someone else said that)..the unreadmms file was missing, so i installed v1.17 , copyed it to another folder..then istalled v1.18 + 1.184 patch & recopyed it to the slide2unlock subfolder

Thank you gain
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chiekh:

wallpaper path again

Hi A_C,

As i posted few days ago i have had some problems with the registry setting about wallpaper path since 1.18 was installed.

Now i probably found the bug. That path works if it is no more 63 characters, from 64th no more work.

Can you test if it's the same for you?

Slide2Unlock Treo WM6 doesn't work

Hi A_C,

I used Slide2Unlock on my Treo750v with wm5, yesterday i upgraded to wm6 and it doesn't seem to be working now, all I get even while executing slide manually is a small screen flicker and thats it, i tried 1.182 and 1.184.

Thanks for the great app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
Still no love while in the phone app...

A_C,

Still no love here. v.184 still does not activate while I am at the phone screen (not in a call or anything). I will look back and try .182 and up so we know when the bug was introduced.

OK...

V.181 works fine and slide runs even if phone app is up. V.182 does not. So the change occurred between those two.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Westronics:
Quite right. I do not need any of the enhancements you've done in 1.8x.

Thanks again for this great program. It has allowed me to use my device as an MP3 player.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Eggert:
Bug not solved

Hi A_C,

this screen (attachment) was taken after having a call with 1.184 and CallerID=2

As you can see the first line is white.

May need to say I am using Wisbar Advanced 2. But the bottom line is displayed correctly.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lamagdalena:
I have a question that probably has nothing to do with the new patch but the slider doesnt work in landscape mode for me.

I have a Tmobile Wing, and if I turn it landscape it just goes straight into the today screen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] o2crazy:
Power On...

Hi A_C....

nope.. i only have one power button...

Basically i only want the ilock to invoke slider when i turn on my device using the power on button.. currently... when ilock starts for the first time... i press the power button the screen goes blank and goes into standby mode.

when i turn on my device via the power button, it shows my today screen and then slider is invoke. but subsequent turning off and on the device, the slider is already invoke.

so, what i am aiming to acheive is, the slider is only invoke upon the power up..

hope you get what i mean.

I am very happy with v 1.174

Would U give us latest version for WM2003, pleasee.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flipao:
Hi, love the app but for some reason the date and operator text appears pixelated and garbled on it.

I have tried reinstalling several times but had no luck so far, also tried disabling stuff like Wisbar but still nothing, am I doing something wrong?, I dont see anyone else having the same problem :/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] neonstorm:
A_C,

Everything is working great as far as the slider goes! I love the fact that you disabled it during calls now.

However, I'm still having serious issues with the caller ID. It seems as though I can receive one call, then it stops working and any other calls I receive either freeze the phone or freeze the display. After I soft reset, I can receive one call and the process repeats itself. Also, no matter if the caller is in my contacts or not I do not receive the caller's name or picture...

This is with 1.184 on a T-MO Wing WM6.

Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oltp:
Hi flipao,

I'm using the latest Slide2Unlock in combo with WA 3B5 ad everything still looks very crisp& clear displaying appointment, weaher etc. What does your AC_Operator.bmp & other bmp's in the slide2unlock folder looks like when you open it on your device or PC, are they pixelated & garbled too?

I know it's not a solution, but maybe you can pinpoint the the cause.

Cheers, M

Hi just wanted to say great program i've been looking for something to not only lock my phone but also something different for my caller id you took care of both problems :) However i do have one bug it seems with the 1.184 patch when i recieve a call i can't answer the phone with the green key on the caller id i can with the hard button though.

A_C, thanks very much. Your tool works great on my mogul. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
Hey A_C, I think you should got with TAPI or RIL....they will probably help Slide2Unlock work better with more ppl.

I've just been testing this app for the past 45 minutes and found an issue with how incoming calls are being handled when slide.exe is not being run and CallerID is enabled.

-While iLock.exe is running, but slide.exe is not --> slide.exe activates itself to show the CallerID screen, causing the audio ring to skip while it's trying to load itself and slowing down the answering process.

(A_C, can you make it possible to NOT have slide.exe load on incoming call? Make it so ONLY when slide.exe is loaded, it will then show the CallerID screen. This will speed up the answering time when someone like myself, does not always have slide.exe loaded most of the time.)

Currently, when slide.exe is running, CallerID is handling calls fine.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Answers

@mchorney

I'm thinking of some requests from you guys. If they're "doable", I'll put them in the future release. The most possible new features are: animated wallpaper & user-input weather info. But no promises right now. ;p

@ahmedfikry

1. I guess you're using a English device. If yes, you do not have to change the "IncomingText" value. Pls read the readme or the 1st post for further details.

2. Or you may try to enable "BlankScreen"

3. Give me more time...

@chiekh

Pls search within this post that davehutch had posted a solution to your case.

@mifungo

Will increase the Wallpaper's path length in the coming release, thanks.

@sevet

That is no solution yet.

@CheezWiz

In v1.184, when "Phone" is on top, SLIDE will not be activated as many users reported they do not want to have it during a phone call.

But if SLIDE was there before an incoming call, SLIDE will be reactivated after that incoming call.

@Eggert

Thanks for the screen shot, will look into it later.

@lamagdalena

That's on purpose.

@o2crazy

You may try to enable the "SafeMode", but soft-reset maybe required.

@ericosusanto

Sorry for all WM2003 users that this version is not for you. It's because it has a lot WM5 unique function calls that are not available in WM2003.

@flipao

Not sure is it because your device is running out of memory...

@neonstorm

I'm thinking of other ways to fix it...

@psvillars

Are u running in Landscape mode?

@johnnyv5

I think once "CallerID" is enabled, more power will be consumed as there are some animations.

@freeyayo50

Yes, I'm thinking of TAPI/RIL right now.

But the bad news is once the system's incoming notification is depressed by iLock, there is no way to have it come out again until the next soft-reset.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
Damn, ok. I guess im going to have to activate both iLock and slide.exe everytime i want to use it, than stop iLock when im not using it.

Thanx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
nope, no issues at either 1.82 or my current 1.84 on a Dopod D810.

Also, does anyone know how to specify a wallpaper where the filename has a space in it eg., /path/..../frog stack.jpg <---- this does not work.

Instead, I have to rename the file to frogstack.jpg then specify it as /path/..../frogstack.jpg <---- this time it works.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoachForLife:
Anyway to make it take longer to 'turn on' or 'time out' however you want to call it. I find that Im emailing people and I leave it alone for 1sec after hitting send and it comes on.... grr

Patches from 1.183-patch2 not working

A_C, do you have any ideas to solve the problem that with 1.183-patch2 and 1.184-patch the call accept screen on my Tytn (WM6) doesn't respond if the caller has an unknown ID. In 1.183-patch1 I didn't have this problem. B.T.W., I did uninstall and reinstall entirely and it didn't help.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zfbj:
Great software! It works fine with my dopod696, WM5 aku3.5, simplified Chinese version!

I have used it for several days and I like it very much! Its my madatory software now!

But I found when device is locked by slide2unlock, and then if a new message or incoming call arrived, slide2unlock will automatically be hidden, so HW key of our device will be unlocked as well, its easily lauch other applications by unintentionally press hw key when the deviced is placed in pocket!

Can we improve it as following:

When new message arrived, slid2unlock is hidden but HW key is still locked?

When new call arrived, slide2unlock is hidden but HW key is still locked without phone button?

Thanks!

Jeff
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mifungo:
mmm...what is the path lenght? up to 63 characters there are no problems, more than 63 is actually not supported as A_C confirmed me. Probably you are on this limit situation, if you are not try using quotes "".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
Thanks mifungo! Tried with double quotes and still no luck even with 57 characters :( But when I rename both the file and registry keys to remove the space, it works fine. In fact, S2U doesn't even like double quotes in the file name at all.

On another note:

Has anyone else noticed that after 1.84, the weather shows as N/A now? Any workarounds for 1.84? Have tried soft-resetting and reloading iLock....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
Hi again A_c

thanks for your answers, more quick replies:

1- i do use english version, caller ID works only 1st time after a reset, then i get "unknow" thats why i tryed the registry "fix" but it keeps converting itself to "Phone-Incoming" instead of "unknown" and not working

2- i do use "blankscreen" sorry did not write that correctly the 1st time

3- thanks for considering GIF for backgrounds....

on another note: i agree with the ones requesting the locker being deactivated during phone calls..its a major problem when it cicks in & you want to mute or pull a contact number..the change works better now..thanks

keep up the excellent job...

if i want to bind a SoftKey to lock with Slide2Unlock.. should i bind it to iLock.exe or slide.exe?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
slide is the one..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bcrooker:
Great product. I have a Sprint Mogul (WM6, ROM 2.09) and have found two small issues:

1. When the phone is turned on, and the Slide2Unlock app is visible (and locking the phone), I can hold down the hang-up button for several seconds and it will turn the phone's radio off (switching the device to "airplane mode"). I can also do the same thing again to turn the radio back on.

2. Sometimes calendar notifications will come up on top of the Slide2Unlock application, allowing you to work with them while the phone should be locked.
