Hello A_C, and all other guys,

Have already updated this last hotfix (1.215), Will keep an eye on the battery + memory levels.

(These were the 2 major problems I’ve been experiencing) if I start in the morning with 100% battery level + soft reset (about 22Mb after soft reset, before ILock is activated). I'll end up with no battery by middle afternoon (ok, I make and receive some (a lot of) calls, but this was not the usual behaviour before installing v 1.20) and by next morning memory is down to 1 or 2 Mb, so soft reset is a must every morning.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great piece of software, and I can only guess the huge amount of hours you've dedicated to this baby. So please do not interpretate the note above as something negative, or repeating what has already been said. This IS A GREAT APP and I've been using it since v 1.17 every day on my Artemis.

I've been using this together with PCManager, Iphone Dial Pad (the one tweaked by Nargalzius) + O2 Phone plus for the smartdial, SPB mobile Shell, SPB Weather and some small other apps.

Because I’m using the iphone dial pad I've not activated the Dialed Id, although it would be great if you could further develop this part!

CONGRATULATIONS for your hard work!!!

2 small questions:

Does this hotfix automatically replace the ILock.exe shortcut icon I have in Programs (the one that's created automatically under "\Windows\StartUp" when you install)?

Do you still need to start from V1.10? (To install this on a brand new PDA) or can you start already with just the last update .CAB?

Regards,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
A_C, just to add a little feedback. After getting the weird End Call + Answer, and the answer and hang up buttons screen like people have been mentioning before, I did a soft reset, and it seemed to fix slide to answer, however, after the phone had been running for a while (I don't know exactly at what point it happened), it started acting up again. Sometimes I see a slider, sometimes I see the green and red answer and hang up buttons. Kinda weird. I'm going to try updating to the new version now and see if it helps, just wanted to let you know so you can keep a look out for anything that might look weird or cause a problem in the code.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
I think you're thinking of the new DialedID piece. I use the iPhone keypad as well, but I definitely use and enjoy the slide to answer function. It just handles the answering of the call, then sends it off to the dial pad unless you're using DialedID. (Does DialedID even work for incoming calls? I don't use it so I don't know, but looking at the first post and the key name, it sounds like it's just for dialed calls)

Oh, and to answer your questions, the link is just that, a link. It's just a shortcut that points to the actual iLock.exe app, so it doesn't need to be replaced.

Also, there is no need to start with an earlier version. You can install 1.21, then drop the 1.215 hotfix on it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@Yagi & @DCHigley

For the memory issue, sometimes it may be cached by the OS. And maybe possibly by the PPL (the language used to write SLIDE). There is no fix yet. My only advice is soft-reset your device every 3 or 4 days. That's my practice.

@funperro

The shortcuts are under the "Slide2Unlock" folder.

Thanks Paulo Marques & AJerman. Paulo, pls read the answer by AJerman.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Paulo Marques:
Thanks for your correction, I wanted to say the Dialed Id, not the slide2answer (already edited the post).

So about the link, I just have to run this iLock.exe I get from the hotfix and that it? every time I do some editing to the registry I can use the previous link to stop / Start ilock & slide?

Since you are using the dial pad maybe you can help me (sorry it's off topic but I was not able to get an answer on the actual thread) do you get the correct green / red buttons when you're supose to? I mean I always get the red one, either on a call or not... I've been reading some threads in other forums and I'm in doubt if it is because I'm not using the Wisbar Advance. Can it be because of this?

A_C this is why I said that it would be great if you further develop DialedID. I'm sure you'll be able to make some great improvents (or build one from scratch) to this iphone Dial Pad thing... :) ;)

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] funperro:
A_C,

Thanks for the quick reply. Funny thing.. I reinstalled it again (and again) and for whatever reason, 'slide2unlock' is now appearing in 'programs'! woohoo!

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
No, you actually want to hook up your phone and drop the iLock.exe file from the hotfix in the \Program Files\Slide2Unlock folder, overwriting the original version. The link won't be affected by the hotfix at all and will continue to work as it did before.

As for the dialpad, you mean the green "Call" and red "End Call" buttons? Those work as they should for me. Not sure what might be causing trouble for you.

I also agree with your edit. I think DialedID has quite a bit of potential and I look forward to what A_C will do with it, however, for now I'll just stick to my dialpad.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
When I receive a phone call, I got 3 buttons on the screen - an "End Call + Answer" Button, a green button and a red button.

I know the green is for "pick up the call" and the red for "hang up the call".

can anyone tell me what the button "End Call + Answer" is for? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
It's a weird bug right now, give A_C some time to figure it out and I'm sure he'll get it fixed. For now, just soft reset your phone and it should fix it (at least for a little while).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
oh, I see. I thought it's a useful button. But other than that, s2u runs very well.

A_C, thanks for your great work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Paulo Marques:
Do you have the Lakeridge Software Wisbar Advance 2.x installed or not?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DCHigley:
:) For me and my sms flow it is more like every 3-4 hrs, but that is just me and is fine...

I did try the close switch and it appears to work. You are right in the part that it takes a little while to load, but it is fast enough by a longshot, so that is not an issue. The close switch does the trick.

That is just an FYI... Helps to know what helps when trying to fix things... :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
I'm fairly certain it has to do with call waiting, however I've never gotten it so I won't promise that.

Nope, I use the HTC Touch home, but that's about it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ShadowGarou:
A_C

do you have any plans to give an option to not stop Slide when the slide out querty keyboard is opened?? maybe just a registry entry that can turn that off.

reason I ask is the holster that i put my 8525 in has a magnetic clip that also triggers the magnetic switch for the slide out keyboard and it turns off Slide every time.

-ShadowGarou
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I have been thinking about my problem (I can't use ANY button while on a call (even the 'end-call' button), and I was thinking about the reg entry 'blankontalk' I have it set to the default '0' thinking that would keep the screen active on a call, am I missing something though? When I try to end a call, or press a number prompt, instead of hanging up, or answering a prompt, it initiates S2L, and I am still on a call until I beat the loop, or turn my radio off.

Any ideas???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ckaidi:
Can someone upload the files to http://www.mediafire.com/

Its fast and unlimited. I cant download from any of the 3 file server from A_C. Anyway really great job!!

Thanks!!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
The Wizard reTOUCHed skin for the dialpad, I'm not sure if that's the cause of the issue, cause I just checked and it copies 5 dlls, I'll update to 1.215 in a minute and check what happens.

If the problem persists, I'll uninstall the skin, and check again. ;)

One suggestion, You can add the app name and version to the bottom of S2U, something like this:

"Slide2Unlock 1.215, Developed by A_C"

I've read that some guys are confused about the version they're using. :rolleyes:

Just a thought. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rcas:
i put the latest version on this morning and by noon i'd had three calls where the caller id screen was still up after i answered and hung up. The app then hung and i couldn't close the screen unless i went to Start>Today. Funny part i noticed is that Task Manager dissapeared from my top right corner untill reboot and i couldn't tap either yes or no to restart my wizard. I've gone back to 1.21... tho i never had any of the problems except the memory drain that the 1.215 was supposed to fix
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tfxro:
Can you put the slide on midle of screen to use with one hand more eficient?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cral:
I don't see the link to hotfix 2.15. I installed 2.1 but the ilock keeps turning off.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] barakafritt:
Still impossible dialing data calls while Slide running

Hi,

great piece of software ; good job to find out the solution for this battery issue. This sounds perfect now with 1.215. You're a genious !

But... As I said in my previous message, since 1.20, as soon as slide.exe has been called and is running (even in background) I cannot dial my GPRS data connection anymore. If it stops (or if I stop it manually) it will never be able to connect again. It makes an attempt, stops, restarts, two or three times until displaying an error message.

If I stop iLock and slide, it can connect back immediately.

The problem is in slide and not iLock : I tried starting iLock and there is no problem until the 1st time slide is displayed. Any idea ???

If you need more details on my conf, I can give them to you ; I'm using a HTC Wizard with WM5 and (maybe useful) my connection is declared as permanent in the registry.

Thanks !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DCHigley:
So that is what did it! :)

I have an MDA also and it is doing the exact same thing! My solution all day has been to turn on "flight mode" (I use PocketZenPhone so it is cake) then back to my "normal mode" and that seams to fix it.

I was about to reinstall my phone again but will hold off now that you have the same problem and narrowed it down for me.

MUCH THANKS! :)

Will do some more checking on mine also, but I did a quick test and your describing the same thing that is happening to me. I don't have the perminant connection, but...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jrproulx:
Installed the hot fix but unfortunately it did not fix the battery drain for me, not sure if anyone else has found it worked for them. Maybe i'm doing something wrong, but it dropped my battery from 69% down to 51% in an hour. That was with backlight off, and I didn't use the phone once in that time, just sat there. I have since uninstalled the app again and my batter usage is back to normal. I'm using the HTC Touch, not sure if that makes a difference or not.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] persiansown:
I had the battery drain problem and then I set BlankScreen equal to 0 and that fixed it since the device could suspend rather than just turning the screen off. Let me know if that fixes it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jrproulx:
Thanks for the info. Don't think thats causing my problem though because BlankScreen is set to 0 when I install. Thanks though
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrismrulz:
nah i don't. but it'd be good to atleast have an inanimate bitmap of it so it looks the same as the iPhone.

after all, isn't that the point?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jonnala:
A_C looks like this verison is draining very less battery.

BTW is it possible to embed light weight alarm feature to this app with very basic functionlity by getting activation trigger from M$ alaram. just a thought.

M$ alarm sucks.even though it rings,it can hardly wake me up being very short ring and no flexible repeat options.

I have searched through forum and I see alot of people searching for trusty alarm app.

--KK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
Ok, the unknown issue still there, less than with 1.211 though, but now it seems that slide2answer doesn't work anymore. :(

Tomorrow I will uninstall the touch dialpad and test with 1.211, maybe that was the source of the problem, I'll keep you updated. ;)

EDIT: When I received the last call, the ID was unknown but the callid picture showed up, the weird thing is that the callerid picture is kept on screen as if it were the wallpaper.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kawing98:
1.215 has problem on my HTC touch but 1.21 is working fine. I set the CalledID=2 to enable the incoming call pic display. Btw, when someone called, (even I click answer or decline key) after the conversation, the screen is also hold on the red and green buttons incoming call screen. And the slide is not working again. I have to reset my phone. Is working fine while i use 1.21

Simon
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
I got the same thing earlier. Got a call, answered it (got red and green buttons rather than slide even though Slide2Answer is set to 1 in the registry), talked, hung up, set the phone down and wandered off. Came back shortly and the phone was showing the last person's name and caller ID pic, with the red and green buttons, and was locked up. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
v1.216 hot fix

Hey guys,

Just posted another hot fix v1.216 which should address the problems you faced when receiving call. Grab it at the 1st post pls.

barakafritt

Your problem is really interesting. I'm still trying to reproduce your scenerio. Could you tell me how to set up a GPRS connection (or any data connection) to permanent?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
WiFi signal strength. It changes based on how strong the signal is. That's a possibility for the future if A_C is interested, rather than the generic WiFi icon.

Oh, and thanks for the updated version A_C, uploading it to my phone now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_ding:
When using slide2unlock, I click on screen_rotate on HTC Home plugin, then I accidentally turned the power off (which activates slide2unlock when I turned it back on).

However, slide2unlock is in landscape mode, and I do not see the slider since it's out of my screen (it's trying to display the portrait side in landscape mode which makes the button out of screen).

Does anyone have this problem?

I end up having to soft-reset and change my screen back to portrait to fix it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] michaelhxp:
A_C, u r the best of the bunch
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keishou:
Awesome! 1.216 helped out a lot... 1.215 has given me problems all day, and I was just about to go back to 1.21

Slide to Answer is working again. No longer freezing on the incoming caller id screen. Memory seems better, will check again in the morning.

A_C I'm running the new hot fix on my palm 700w. when I get an incoming call with CallerID set to 1 I get the Answer/Ignore buttons from the WM 5 side, and still doesn't show whose calling. I also threw this error

9/4/07 11:12:33 PM : Generated by the PPL interpreter v.1.25 Pro

After hard reset. It cuased some funky Time display and no date whatsoever. I fixed it by restarting iLock. Thanks for a great ap.

BTW

I was having trouble with 1.7 having to hit buttons a few times to bring it back, but thats been fixed too! (yay!!!!!!!!)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jasonaw:
No problem on using HTC Home plugin screen_rotate -> power off -> power on. The slide2unlock comes on as landscape mode automatically and I'm able to unlock without having to softreset.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mistellisch:
Hi A_C,

your newest hotfix is working fine again. The hanging up of 1.215 has been solved through this. Thanks very much!

So everything is great except from the issue that the first call after a softreset isn't connected to the contacts library and thus only shown as a number. I have to pose my question again: isn't there a way around this by triggering anything to load the contacts library before the first call comes in in the morning? Could find it out by now?

Now, if you want to make your programme really perfect and release it as an official version you finally can earn a little money with apart from little donations, you should try to make the screen switches a little bit smoother (sometimes when e.g. the callerID-screen is loaded I see some white flickering and a part of the top and bottom bars for a short while).

And, as a minor feature request you could think about when almost everyone will state "hey, now it's working well and stable", you could maybe add an icon (a bell) for reminders that went off during absence. Because by now you have integrated almost everything: missed calls, sms, emails, tasks, weather etc. but reminders are not shown on the screen. I always have to enter the today screen to find out.

But anyways, it already is an absolutely great application and I think we can hardly imagine how much time you had to invest during the last 4 months to make this happen!

Everyone who appreciates and uses this programme should not only think "cool, it's for free, I'll download" but also thank A_C with at least a small donation for a cup of coffee!

v1.216 bug report

I test the s2u v1.216 and the CallerID is OK now,but I found the weather Shows wrong, I use the HTC Home Weather,the Htc home weather shows Sunny with little cloud, BUT the s2u shows the heavy rain,I think Maybe there is something wrong with the Index of the weather icon.

Pls Check and fix it,Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snorlax:
I use SunsiaSoft Pocket WakeUp that works perfectly !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zsitvayb:
Hi,

if you read back a bit you can find that the s2u weather icon shows the weather forecast instead of the actual weather icon shown by the HTC Home.

Regards,

B.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jasonaw:
All who use slide2unlock should by A_C a cuppa coffee!

Yups! Great app! v1.216 has been very stable for me (v1.2.15 had hanging issues after incoming call).

And yes pls buy our dear friend a cup of coffee (I've already done so) so he can awake when he's improving the app. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrismrulz:
well that should be easy to do.

A_C if you can add the icon to the v1.0 launcher and slide2unlock and send me the source, i can do the coding ;)

Trouble starting my phone

Hi,

I have a problem when I start my phone. Starting a WinMobile phone is quite a long process, on mine at least...

When it start, I get the "Orange" screen followed by the Windows one. After sometime the screen backlight goes down and then the phone is stuck.

If I connect the phone on a power plug, the screen backlight does not go down and then all is startin correctly.

The second behavior is what encourage me to post my problem here, since I am using slide2unlock in autostart and it is supposed to lock the phone when backlight is swichted off.

I am using an Orange M600 (HTC S200).

Am I the only one ?

Regards,

Stephane
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] niall0s:
Love this app!!!

i've noticed a slight bug, even tho i have the time set to 24 hour clock on my device and in slide the small time indicator at the top of the slide app is in 12 hour format ;(

Just send you a coffee. Thanks, please keep the great work! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joule:
Versions prior to 1.215 drained my battery like crazy (I had 40-50% less battery after waking up, just by having my phone off). 1.215 works great, I had 10% battery drain overnight with bluetooth turned on, which I guess is correct (I hadn't had the phone long enough to know what is ok to expect).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
Hey A_C,

This thread is getting a bit long. How about starting a new thread with the next major release version number..?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kawing98:
Hi A_C

1.216 Works great and fix the problem i mentioned b4. And will you starting to work on the "Slide to Power Off" function? I think that should be easy for you and make the PDA more IPHONE-A-LIKE.

Thanks,

Simon
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nesty24:
Hi A_C

I have your latest version of S2U, it seems there is a problem with the latest version. It's about the slide to answer. When an incoming call starts, the application closes. sometimes it's working but after a second call, the application closed again. What i mean is, it closes and do not run on background. That's why the application doesn't work. I paste the previous version (1.19) and it works well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Paulo Marques:
Hello All,

Is anyone successfully using Mortplayer with S2U? Specifically the alarm part of it?

I Can’t seem to get it running, and when I do, it only plays alarm (or music file of alarm) for a couple of seconds before S2U kicks in, after that nothing… (I looked around in the thread but didn’t encounter anything about this. I also read that there were some problems with other audiomanagers (already solved like HTC´s audio manager). What about Mortplayer?

In my case I will not use much an Audiplayer so It’s ok if I go back to the default WMP, what was interesting for me about mortplayer was the alarm SNOOZE part of it…

So in fact I have 3 questions:

1. Anyone successfully using Mortplayer with S2U? Specifically the alarm part of it?

2. Anyone using HTC´s audio manager on an Artemis? I’ve tried it once but was not able to run it…

3. Anyone knows of a reliable alarm prog. with snooze that works with S2U?

Thanks in advance for your help.

By the way A_C, I´ve updated both v. 1.215 (yesterday and it seems that both power and memory drainage was lower) and v. 1.216 today, Will keep an eye tonight and report in the morning…

Also… Ever thought of a Slide2Snooze alarm version? :)
