[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] newbie2:
Thank You!! I had already uninstalled it and reinstalled it before getting your answer. For some reason, the registry changes didn't "stick". . . could be that iLock hadn't really been stopped -- I'm not sure.

Anyway, when I reinstalled it, I made sure that iLock and slide were closed before making the changes in the registry and also dropped the Weather folder with the icons into the \GFX folder. . . restarted iLock, executed Slide -- and VOILA!! All works well now!!!

Thanks again for your reply -- AND for an awesome app. This is DEFINITELY a keeper.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dlindman:
Great work AC!!! I'm using Pocket Weather and it's showing the proper forcast, but it will only show the temps in celcius although I have it set for F in Pocket Weather. Any way to get F instead of C???

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] colonel00:
Ok, I installed the new patch and now it is displaying Weather Panel info. However, it is showing the wrong icon. Right now it is Mostly Cloudy. The actual icon on Weather panel is clouds with just a small part of the sun showing. Slide2Unlock is displaying the Windy Snow icon (43.bmp).

Still though, getting close and great work as always.

One question, since Weather Panel actually gives updated actual temps as well as the forcasted temps, is it possible to show both or even just have to option to change a reg to select either actual temp or forcasted temp?

Thanks again

Last screenshoot?

Hi A_C,

I wish that aren´t your last update.

I'm very hapy to see how your app grow and grow. And I hope will continue... here or in another site.

Here my latest screenshoot with WP patch. Thanks friend.

PD. Also I wish you could take more coffes in the next days...;)

any chance we can get slide to get weather from the HTC Touch Home Plugin also...?

Does everybody here use GPRS to connect to the internet to show you the weather? (Its closely linked in with slide2unlock so I thought i'd post it here)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NxJay:
Don't stop developing just because of apple A_C.

Slide2Unlock is a great piece of software and if you can develop something as cool as that, i'd love to see what else you can come up with.

Just post links to rapidshare or an FTP site in somewhere like sweden where lawyers can't touch the files.

Seriously. The PPC community has a lot of talented programmers. If lawyers managed to intimidate every one of them into stopping development, we'd never have WM2K5 on himalaya or any of the other amazing advancements found on XDA-Dev.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mattw951:
A_C I am new to this forum and slide2unlock but it is already one of my fav apps! I hate to see you go :(

One quick question for anyone who might now...How can I get pocket weather to display in F instead of C on when slide2unlock is activated? I have changed the settings in pocket weather but it doesnt change the display on slide...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
Two small issues with new patch in weather panel 2.5. Sometimes it says -/73 with weatherpanel due to it taking for example today is Tues which on weather shows -/73 but the now shows 75/75. Hope this makes sense. It may be better to set it to the "now" temperature instead of the day

2nd issue is it's showing a windy icon with what looks like a cloud and snow. Weather panel shows a cloudy icon. I can replace it but thought you should know. (maybe release a very small fix patch before you go away.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
update... v1.174 patch

Hey guys,

One more update... v1.174 patch (hope it will be the last one & sorry that it's not as perfect as you expected)... again it's mainly for the Weather info.

- correct the Weather icon index for WeatherPanel & PocketWeather

- when showing data from PocketWeather, it follows the user's "C/F" setting.

- should better support custom weather source on SPBWeather

Please go to the first post to get it & let me know does the fix work.

For the WeatherPanel's "now" request, it's a good idea. But with the recent situation, I'll stop adding new features. However, if there is still any bugs, please let me know & let me see if there is any solution.

Thank you for your coffee! Good Luck!

@letsgoflyers81

I also use SPB Backup to backup my device, but it never fail. What's your device? OS? version of SLIDE & SPB Backup?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
Awesome mano, your the best... grabbing patch now and will report as it's a good time since it says windy lol and shows snow.

Hey... not perfect is better then none at all and you have done a GREAT job with supporting all of us and our different weather apps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
Looks great! (the icon is correct now) with new patch. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dlindman:
Works like a charm now A_C! Thanks ever so much and I hope you don't have to stop development......
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chymmylt:
That's what I thought. Is there any possibility of adding an option to just disable slide2unlock altogether when in landscape mode or is that not an option either in PPL?

At any rate - love your program and hope the new version of PPL comes out soon. Thanks for the hard work!

Also to people who use TomTom in landscape mode like me and have had this problem, I've found a work around that seems to work when I remember to do it. When you put your phone into landscape mode - before you load TomTom - initiate Slide2Unlock and let it realign for landscape mode. Then so long as you don't return to Portrait mode, it all seems to work for me. The key is remembering to do this!!! :) Unfortunately this doesn't help me with the magnetic case changing the screen mode :(

New 'suspend fix' patch XDA Orbit

Tried it, it goes to iLock after 10 sec as required, but now takes about 20 seconds then goes into suspend......getting better :)

Is there a registry tweak?

I'm not sure how to tweak the registry on a PDA, can anyone point me to a walk-through?

Thanks for the supersonic response...this is what I call cutting edge development... ;)

Just thought of something, doing a reset to see if that works.....

..no, still the same :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NNagendran:
A_C,

I did look into the folder and there is a file called ans.bmp which contains images for the normal and the hot image for answer option.

Do you take two images from this bmp based on some hotspot and render it on screen? If that is the case, unless these 2 images are split in 2 we cannot have different images...

Did I say that right....?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gajet:
I'm having weather troubles.

I have spb Weather and the icons show up fine, it's the temperatures I have problems with.

For example todays temperatures are 22/11

If spb weather is set to show temperature in Celsius Slide2Unlock displays the temperature as -5/-11

However if I set Spb Weather to show temperature in Fahrenheit (72/52) then Slide2Unlock shows the correct temperature in Celsius 22/11.

Is Slide2Unlock trying to do some unnecessary conversions? I can see people reporting similar issues using weatherpanel in version 1.17, but am I the only one who sees this in Spb weather??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jyavenard:
i did exactly that, can't see any difference to the picture used by ilock
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
I agree boto! A_C, any chance of this for a future version? Maybe 2.0 and beyond? :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
I also have different icons for the two applications. But they could have come from the patch, rather than 1.18 itself. I think 1.18 has the same icon.

Hi A_C

Just bought you a cup of 'coffee' (actually over here at Singapore, a cup of coffee in a neighbourhood shop only cost around US$0.60:p but I think you need more than that for one in US..) which I think I owe you for a long, long time already for this wonderful application. :)

Continue the great work!

CallerID

Thank u for such a great app! Love it to its core!

Please ignore the following question. I forgot that I did a test by REMOVING ONLY the space between the country code and the telephone number. Therefore I am saying this app is almost flawless! For those of you who may have this issue, please remove all spaces between country codes and telephone numbers.

Thank you again!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have one question regarding the CallerID.

For all my contacts, I have added country codes to their telephone numbers. Yes, even local numbers too. I noticed that CallerID would only flash the calling number and not pick up the respective picture. Once I removed the country code, everything works fine.

Is there a way to work around this without me having to remove the country codes for all my contacts?

Appreciates anyone who may have an answer.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
This new version of Slide2Unlock is great.

Can you make it so when Slide2Unlock is not running, the Caller ID will not pop up. You make the Caller ID pop up only when Slide2Unlock is running. This will help kill the delay when someone does not have slide.exe running.

A person should only see the special Caller ID when slide.exe is running IMO.

Answers

@airjer

Are you using the latest version v1.182?

@koukifc3s

Will look at the Landscape softkey problem, thanks.

@Yellabelly

I'm still waiting for other users' feedback. Maybe another beta test coming next... thanks.

@NNagendran

As long as the 2 images are same width in the single file, SLIDE will read it as 2 images.

@Gajet

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

@BlackBeauty

I hope that too.

@Sian

The amount is only a figure, but the motivation behind is enormus. Thanks.

@epi79

Pls read the README.TXT

@freeyayo50

I can't because once the system's Caller ID notification is depressed, it cannot be shown up again even iLock & SLIDE are stopped. The only way is to soft-reset the device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Clasimodo:
Patch

If I install the 1.182 patch the following happens:

If I receive a call while talking to somebody, the slide screen to accept or deny this second call doesn't pop-up. After some testing it became clear that this only happens when I use the slide.exe patch of 1.182. If I only update the iLock.exe of 1.182 or 1.183, all is fine.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi A_C

Very encouraged to see such a spirit behind all these hard works.. :) you are right... hope there will be more 'motivations' coming your way.

Pardon me for bringing up the issue on other event that will trigger S2U apart from hitting 'Power' button, e.g. off ppc using onscreen power off feature, etc. Any news about this?

Why I bring this up is because there's a recent update to the Phone Alarm application. Now I can customise different sms alert tone for different groups of criteria (e.g. based on phone number, text, sender's name, etc). I've customised it such that there will be different sms alert tone for different senders.

Then I notice a problem - the existing 5 secs setting fro OffLCD (which is sufficient for an incoming sms alert before the customised sms alert tone) for S2U to be triggered is now too short. Once the 5 secs are up, the ppc will be switched off and the sms alert will not be triggered at all. It will sound when I on the device again manually. :( As such, I have no choice to lengthen the delay for OffLCD.

With a longer delay, when I manually launch S2U to off my phone (if I do not want to use 'Power' button), it will take the delay duration + 2 to 3 more secs to off the unit, which can be a bit too long for convenience.. Thus, if I can have the other event to trigger S2U, this problem will be resolved, cos I do not need to launch S2U to off my unit.

Hope you will consider putting back the other trigger event to launch S2U, as in the older version.

p.s. check out http://www.whoneedsaniphone.com. They developed a new launcher interface and I think they have a similar S2U feature too. Gonna try out this beta soon. It uses Flash programm for the whole launcher.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@Clasimodo

Did you set "CloseApp" to 1? If yes, I know what's the problem, thanks.

@Sian

I did put back the 2nd event that I mentioned last time in v1.182, have you checked that out?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Clasimodo:
I indeed have set "CloseApp" to 1. Thanks for your quick respons.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi A_C

How blur of me. I think I did try offing my unit using onscreen feature when I first installed the patch, but somehow S2U didn't launch (think a soft reset is needed to activate this and the Caller ID feature). So, I take it as not put back. Didn't try again after that. :p

Just tried it, and it works! Thanks a million!!! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aslher:
Hello A_C, do you remember this?

When is it updated? 1.19 version? :)

A_C,

Just now something happened to my S2U. Its no more displaying any Appointments when S2U is active. I have reinstalled but still the problem persists. ShowAppointment parameter is set 1.

Can you help me on this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi A_C

I remember someone mentioned that there's problem answering call using BT earpiece when S2U is activated. I've experienced this too just now. BT can't answer the phone and it hung the phone.

Of cos' it may be caused by the Flash Lite player I've installed today.. other than that, I don't know what other possible causes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NNagendran:
Perfect A_C, that was what I was looking for.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MrBazUK:
Bogus 'Incoming call' screen on wake-up

A_C,

Checking for updates to your slide-lock application has now become a part of my morning routine ,.. just before checking for any work emails or voicemail.

(Priorities!)

Anyhow.. I have been using the 1.8 build for a couple of days now and find that after connecting a call, the wakeup event seems to show a bogus incoming call screen that I have to select 'hang-up' twice before it shows the regular lock screen. This is certainly no major headache but I thought I should report it here.

Also, is there anyway to change the 'animation' style when the device gets unlocked? A nice fade in / out would be very nice.

Hopefully you received the years supply of coffee I sent too. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] matthew232:
AC - just to report on the latest powersuspend patch: works perfectly (so far) with the WX. Press red power button (or green phone button) and s2u pops right up....good job!! I haven't noticed too much of a power drain either.

One thing, not sure if it is like this with other devices, when I get a text message and slide 2 unlock is enabled, an ugly white screen covers s2u with the text popup window. not a huge deal but it'd be cool if when the text pops up it could be integrated into the s2u screen until it goes away like 10 seconds later. Just a thought. Otherwise, seems perfect so far!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I think the app is a lot more stable on my WX, but if it helps in describing my problem any....As I mentioned in earlier poste...the app will work great, then my phone will freeze on me. I have noticed that if I use the d-pad it does last longer. It seems the more I use it, the longer it takes the slide to respond (with either the screen slide or d-pad), eventually just freezing altogether. This morning I pressed the d-pad and nothing happened for about 5-7 seconds after I released the button, and then slide opened up.

Weird, but that seems to encapsulate my little 'bug'. Still a great app though!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] neonstorm:
Hey A_C, loving the caller ID! I've wanted something like this since day 1 w/ WM...

It does give heartache sometimes though...

Occasionally I'll get a call which displays 'unknown' but if I check the call log it is a recognized number from contacts.

I also get an intermittent crash. Here's the debug:

7/27/07 10:21:02 AM : Generated by the PPL interpreter v.1.25 Pro
7/27/07 10:21:02 AM : Root \Program Files\Slide2Unlock\
7/27/07 10:21:02 AM : ** runtime error ** (SLIDE.EXE) Error loading image \Program Files\Slide2Unlock\AC_CallerID.bmp (0,0)

After clearing the error, it works fine for a while and eventually pops up again. I'll try to determine a pattern or cause...

Any ideas?

Thanks a ton!!

TouchFlow active when locked!

Hey A_C,

Just to inform you of something you may want to fix in the future versions. I've got an HTC Touch and when S2U locks the device it doesn't inhibit TouchFlow, meaning that the device is not really completely locked. Although I'm not able to use to buttons I can do the TouchFlow gesture and access almost all features from there. (darn!)

I tried using the WM native locking mechanism (long pressing the end button) and this one does not allow the TouchFlow to activate.

Nevertheless this is still "slide 2 unlock" :D

Keep up the great work ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] avieira:
I also have this white screen issue and for all notification popups. A_C perhaps you could apply the same method you did for the CallerID window and thus fully integrate notifications with S2U.

Something in v1.18 has caused a problem with my Sprint Treo 700 WX. IT will lock up occasionally - but it won't happen with 1,174, so I have gone back to 1.174.

Just thought you should know. Since I do not personally use any of the extraa (wheather, appointments, etc.) but just use it as a replacment screen/button locker, this works out just fine for me.

I just started to notice that I get the 'unknown' calls too, seems like there is no rhyme or reason, but its been happening quite abit....I guess it could be a provider problem.

grainy, low-rez, picture

I seem to be having a problem with my caller ID pics. For some reason, no matter what the resolution of the caller id picture itself, when a call comes in, the caller id seems to come in very grainy, and with a low-resolution . . . almost like it was 50x50 and the blown up to fit the screen.

Any idea why?

Any idea for a fix?

BTW, I've tried both .jpg's & .bmp's . . . it doesn't seem to make a diff . . . grainy & low-resolution
