@Mistellisch

Thank you for your comment. Give me more time to think about your suggestions as most of them cannot be done easily.

@pnwlw

Pls try the v1.216 hot fix.

Thanks jasonaw & xxza.

@chrismrulz

I prefer to see it running on your Slider. :)

@sbonnell

Maybe it's a device specific problem & you're suggested to disable "IdleStart".

@niall0s

That small clock is not configurable.

@joule

I doubt your power drain is due to the bluetooth...

@CheezWiz

That's a good suggestion & I wanted to do that when this thread reached 1000 posts.

@kawing98

Sorry, I just hate "slide 2 power off".

@nesty24

Have you tried the v1.216 hot fix?

@Paulo Marques

The alarm issue has been talking over & over again in previous posts, pls try the forum's search function. The tested & OK alarm soft are: chrono, pTravelAlarm & system built-in alarm.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jonnala:
Thnak you snolax. I already bought ptravel alarm. But its not working with S2U. I think I am missing some thing in settings.It rings only after hittting power button in morning to wake up my PC. Too sad I have to wake up PPC vs it has to wake me up :(

Any how I will give SunsiaSoft a try since I don't want to loose my job.My only need is wake up in morning.

Thanks again!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jrproulx:
Has anyone had anything weird happen with their battery meter after installing S2U? It was fine before, but after I installed it doesn't seem to work. I had 82% battery. I then let my phone idle for about 3 hours until I got a phone call. Was on for about 45mins, then checked battery life. Still said 82%. I did a soft reset, checked the battery and it now says 95%. I haven't had it plugged in so it couldn't have gone up??? This seems to be stumping me as I havent had this occur with any previous versions. Only settings I have changed is CallID - 2 and Slide2Answer - 1. If anyone has any suggestions or this has happened to you let me know. It's not a real problem, just find it extremely weird.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jayc7176:
I Installed the Slide to unlock and it is giving me an error

App:SLIDE.EXE

File:SLIDE.EXE

Proc:WINMAIN

Opcode: LOADSPRITE

CHAR/Line/Offset:0,0,0x00547b40

Error Loading Image \Storage Card\Slide2Unlock\AC_Appt1.bmp

CAn any one please shed some light over this matter and help me out ....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fastest1:
AC, This seems to be a great app, but I am slow to understand it. I dont understand what ilock really does. If I look under "start" there are 2 slide2unlock icons (1 a folder, the other a lock). If I click on the lock once it will say ilock and slide are closed, if I click it 1 more time the screen that says it was closed goes away and nothing seems to happen. If I activate slide2unlock (the one with the lock) it actually gives the screen similar to an iphone but though slide2answer is set to 1 an incoming call passes right by and requires no slide. I am sure it is an error on my part. You say I need to activate Ilock after any registry changes, do you mean just click on the folder icon marked slide2lock. BTW I just changed to 1.216, I probably did that wrong too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jrproulx:
I believe you also need to set CallerID to either 1 for fullscreen or 2 for thumbnail in order for slide2answer to work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Do read up the 'Readme' file for detail. But in summary, ilock handle most of the complex additional features that comes with this application, e.g. Caller ID, Dialer ID, weather indicator, etc. Slide2Unlock is only the 'unlock' feature.

If you want the S2U to activate automatically, you need to activate iLock. to effect changes in registry requires you to 'close' and 'activate' iLock. When you click on the 'lock' icon, it will 'close' (if it's already activated). If it's closed, it will be activated when you click on it. So, once you make changes, 'close & activate' the iLock to effect the change.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DCHigley:
I don't see a reply to this, but I didn't look "overly well", but I have the same/similar problem and close enough to the same phone, if not the same... Anyway...

The perminant connection doesn't appear to matter... Mine is "on demand" and it is doing the same thing, or at least it sounds like it. Let me tell you what I am getting and I think you'll agree...

1) Soft reset the phone, let s2u come up.

2) Slide it open... (of course... BUT, not actually required since it doesn't when email is on auto and it goes by itself)

3) Taking for granted it is your first connection, open PIE, Email, SyncML, IM, or even MMS. Anything that causes a data connection. GPRS or EDGE.

4) Do your thing and disconnect.

5) Try anything that needs the GPRS/EDGE connection again. It tries and then pops up the window that the modem doesn't answer (most often)

Now I have found 3 ways to "fix" this.

1) Soft reset... (Slow, painful, etc...)

2) Turn on flight mode or the equiv. and then bring everything back after a few seconds...

3) Stop iLock (Doesn't matter if Slide is running or not yet BTW)

I think that the other guys problem is that the persistant connect isn't exactly persistant and he is getting the error when it tries to reaquire the connection fter a lost signal or something similar. I get it when I try to connect a second time and thereafter.

Does this help? BTW - barakafritt, if I missed something or assumed wrong on your side, please add it in so we can help him fix it.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :zainy::
I have a couple issues and this thread is fairly deep in content. They may be isolated to my HTC Mogul.

I often get an error message telling with an error in locating the operator.bmp file. I get this message with or without the caller id function being enabled. i have to close ilock and reopen it.

The caller ID function works perfect. However, after the call, it won't allow me to utilize any other applications. I can navigate the phone but I can't access anything without a soft reset.

If i just let it go back to being idle, when I come back, my phone shows the incoming call screen with the last call it had received when slide2lock utilized the caller id.

Also in regard to this issue, if i get a 2nd phone call before I soft reset, it won't allow me to answer it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wwwdrich:
A_C, I'm seeing this same thing on my i730. I'm not sure what you mean by permanent though. In my case, setting up a data connection via GPRS/EVDO works the first time, but additional tries fail with "the remote modem has disconnected". It takes a soft reset to fix (I haven't tried putting the phone into flight mode yet as one person suggested). This started happening when I upgraded from 1.21 to 1.215.

One other thing that I noticed when I upgraded from 1.18 or 1.19, I am occasionally getting "double locked". Let me explain what I mean. I have Slide2Unlock bound to a button, and when I'm done using my phone I hit that button to start it and put it in the holster. When I pull the phone out, I hit that same button to wake up the device. At this point, much of the time it will unlock the display when I use the slider, show my desktop for a few seconds, and then go back to Slide2Unlock. It doesn't happen every time, and I haven't been able to prove that it's only when I wake my device up with the button and not with the power switch or slider.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fastest1:
Thanks for the quick replies, however I didnt see any change after changing the value on caller id. I have read the readme file and at least 200 pages of various info. My problem is ignorance and a.d.d. LOL. My comprehension must be low, besides not understanding most things that happen on a computer. I am really just trying to get the basics to work consistently. Slide2answer worked well for a few days but now a call bypasses slide2lock immediately. Thanks BTW I wont even get into the problems with the other programs I am running to emulate the iphone!:D Hey I did finally learn what to do with a tsk file/folder. When I was in school even calculators were evil and computers were huge, I mean house size!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ccw1134:
I believe the problem is that the .bmp file that is causing the error has not been installed on your phone. This is most likely due to installing the "updated files only" version instead of the full CAB install. The easiest thing to do is to reinstall Slide2Unlock. Download the most recent version of Slide2Unlock (the CAB file) on the first page of this thread. You should be fine at that point. Just as a FYI, the .bmp files are located in Program Files\Slide2Unlock\GFX\Res.

Good luck.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nesty24:
Yes, I've tried it! I used my friends phone to call my phone to test the application. but the problem appears. But in version 1.19 it runs very well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brombomb:
A_C I gave the newest hotfix another day and everything started working (with caller id etc...). However, one problem (that I've noticed since 1.17) is that my missed calls doesn't reset correctly. It is persistent in the 1.21 hot fix as well. The missed calls icon will continue to increment even after I check and clear the missed calls. In the hot fix the Missed call is also displayed under the time. The only way to reset this is to reset iLock. I am using a Palm Treo 700wx running WM 5
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jonnala:
Looks like its is charging over air :D . dude what phone it is?I am jealous .:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Cobra2:
Hay A_C

2.16 fixed my problems, since i installed yesterday, there R no more bat. drain, no more hangning when reciving a call... until now everything is running smooth over here, great work man :D ....... :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snorlax:
Maybe a http://www.wildcharge.com/ customer ? :D

I'm jalous too...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@curious george

v1.21 is a full version, simply use the CAB file to install.

v1.216 is a patch file which only contains an updated iLock.exe, to install:

1. stop iLock

2. overwrite it with the extracted file

3. start iLock & SLIDE

4. enjoy!

@jonnala

Pls try to search this thread with keyword "alarm", there maybe some hints...

@highdood

Simply don't run it in native VGA mode will solve it.

@jayc7176

Do not install it in "Storage Card" as it's not supported.

@Fastest1

Maybe you should try the Configurator posted at the 1st post. After any changes is made, it'll ask you do you want to restart iLock, then choose yes.

@DCHigley

Have you tried the v1.216 hot fix? What's the OS of your device?

@:zainy:

Have you tried the v1.216 hot fix?

@wwwdrich

Pls try the v1.216 & let me know if there is any improvement.

@nesty24

I have no idea about your case as I could not reproduce it.

@brombomb

Try to reset the missed call notice (by opening the notification or the call history), then soft-reset your device.

Others, if you have any problems, pls:

1. try to install the latest v1.216 hot fix (read the 1st answer of this post on how to do that)

2. soft-reset your device.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sbonnell:
Hi,

Thanks for your reply, I tried two things:

- the one you proposed, and I have no change my phone get stuck during the boot​

- rename Slide2unlock folder to stop the start of iLock an d my phone is starting perfectly (of course I get an error after that telling me iLock is not found).​

So it is definitly related to iLock and I agree also maybe specific to my phone/device.

Regards,

Stephaen
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Xenpain:
Yesterday i found a Problem.

I Unlocked my Phone and start a call. At the end of the call i want to hung up. The screen shows me the S2U screen and the Hardwarebuttons where locket too.

So i have to unlock the phone and now i could hung up.

Is this a Bug or some kind of Config stuff?

PS: Version is 1.216
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] randomelements:
Anyone else had an issue with 1.216 where the alarm won't go off until you manually wake the phone up?

Had that issue the morning and the only change on the phone was this fix.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
I noticed that bug as well. Thanks. It's only occur under a certain situation, & will be fixed in the next release. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cobalt78:
:confused: It's petty that i can't upgrade with new version since this new feature is on :

8. SLIDE now awares of the running of HTC's Audio Manager

my Audio Manager is alway on (pause or play) during the day. I am using bluetooth headset and the music is running as my phone is off (this is great). With the 8th feature the phone stay on and drain the battery. And all hard buttons can be pushed accidentadly !!

Great if we can switch on or off this feature by registry. :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] highdood:
Right-half of date + Flickering...

Sorry dude, doesn't work.

First time when S2U is loaded after registry change -> Date is displayed OK

Subsequent times when S2U is loaded -> right half of Date is cut off

Flickering still exists...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] naillik:
i have an idea it's possible to make one version of s2u for left-handed

for unlock don't slide left to right but right to left?????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] andrews69:
A_C: Fantastic app! I'm just using it as a locker for the time being until I get time to play with it.

I have a suggestion - hopefully this is not something implemented that I'm just missing.

I have MS VoiceCommand mapped to the "record" button on the upper left of the PPC6700. When Slide2Unlock is engaged, I can't, of course, use that button to run VoiceCommand. The last lock program that I was using - DeviceLock (another excellent app from someone on XDA) - let me call VoiceCommand somehow from this button even when the device was locked. Any way to get this to work?

Also, I'm having wierd bluetooth headset issues when Slide2Unlock is on. I have to test some more and get specifics...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DCHigley:
Yes. I tried the 1.216 yesterday before writting out the post you saw that described how to duplicate it.

It's a T-Mobile MDA (US). WM5... Here is more in case it is helpful...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Paulo Marques:
I have the same thing since 1.21 (I think that was the version)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Paulo Marques:
I´m getting that since I changed from v 1.215 to 1.216 (yesterday) (but mine is not set on any special button, I get it with the power button). flickers for a quick second and seems to go to sleep so I have to push power again and unlock. This happens if you let it rest for 5 or so minutes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gavro:
I've been using this app for some time now, but I think I'll be uninstalling it soon... it's not working properly all the time with my trinity and in my opinion it's using too much memory (but that is probably inevitable with the features is has...)... Respect for devving it on this horrible dev-environment!!!

I still think you are doing an excellent job!!! Keep on the good work (as I see a lot of people are enjoying it!).

Buttuhm, one feature I will REALLY mis is just a simple thing: turn off LCD on talk! Does anyone know how I could get this on my device?

Thnx a lot!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brombomb:
Thanks A_C. Checking the Call Log was all that was needed :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snorlax:
Hi A_C,

I sometimes have the same behavior with my 1.216 on my WM5 Trinity. But I've just tried to do it again and no pb... So it's not that easy to reproduce...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
Hi A_C, I have the 1.216 version right now, and I still having the unknown issue, I uninstalled the Touch dialerpad and same results. :confused:

As I wrote before it's not always but in a random basis, in my case a bit uncomfortable but not a big deal, seeing that I never reject calls and I've got a second after slide to answer to check the ID on the phone screen to know who's calling. :p

Soon will be upgrading ROM, maybe I'll have better luck then. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joule:
I think 1.216 is great, I used to have a 40-50% power drain overnight before. Now I am having a constant (ok, just had to nights to test it) 8-10% drain. Is that normal? I can live with that anyway, the battery lasts 3 solid days, I had to recharge it every day and night before that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] camero6989:
I Cant get this to work at all

I know this is a problem that only I am having but when I try and launch Slide.exe I get an the error message:

error loading image\Program Files\Slide2Unlock\GFX\Res\wallpaper.bmp

Then it goes back to the today screen.

It's a brand new phone and the only changes I've made is changing to an iphone them by following the instructions on

http://hackaddict.blogspot.com/2007/07/mobile-app-tutorial-create-shortcuts-to.html

my phone is a HTP 8525, running WM5. Any help would be appreciated
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] EP3hatch03:
i am having the same problem on my Wing
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
sorry, but I have MS VoiceCommand also and I think this is a bad idea. This is exactly why i use a lock program, so i don't inadvertently push a button that can dial a number like voice command can. I think it defeats the purpose of locking your phone ...just my 2 cents.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
A_C

Can you add a speaker on button for the dialedid

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] srt10coupe:
and for the CallerID screen!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
I have VC as well, but I mapped it to the push to talk button on my hermes, which is usable when S2U is working, so I can use it when the PPC is locked. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
A_C,

1.216 has been working well for me. My old issue with s2u not coming on sometimes with 1.21 has not appeared yet so i am keeping my fingers crossed!

Reading all these posts, I wonder if I can give you my take and maybe a little advice. I wonder if you are too liberal in your instructions and also trying to be too flexible to too many people and there situations. First off, it seems that many people with issues have the issues go away after they soft reset. Perhaps, you should clearly put on your instructions that a soft reset is needed after a reinstall period, no if's and's or but's.

Secondly, maybe your hotfix versions should be independent versions, instead of patches, while keeping the older versions available for compatibility issues. I didn't even realize at first that the 1.216 patch was much lower on the page compared to 1.21. I thought I had installed the latest version 1.216 but it was only 1.21 and then i had to apply a 1.216 patch. Based on these posts, I think others are making the same mistake.

Third, maybe you should do away with non-cab updates for people to try to retain their settings. It's a pain to reinstall settings, but it's worth the headaches. It seems that many people try to update this way and have had problems that go away after they do a complete cab reinstall (myself included).

I am only bringing these things up because there are too many posts of people having issues because they are given too many choices, but not reading the instructions carefully, it dilutes out all the real issues.

It's hard enough for you to make this as compatible with so many devices, the way people are installing this needs to be more constant.

Overall, i am very happy with this software..please keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] andrews69:
VoiceCommand can't dial anything unless you speak to it what you want to dial. So there's no way to dial anything by inadvertently pushing the button in your pants.

What this now means is that to voice dial someone, I have to unlock and then voice dial - two steps and I have to look at the phone instead of one step I can do blind.

Other lock programs have had this capability - including the one that is built into WM5 and WM6.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@steadi

Just stay tuned...

@famewolf

That's pity you're not with us. Actually, SLIDE eats 5M of RAM when "CloseApp" is 0. My next dream device should have 128M RAM. ;)

Usually, I set my device soft-reset automatically twice a week. That's not only for SLIDE, but to have a freasher & healthier OS environment.

@mike3343

For an idea to come true, we have to think of it practically.

1. Would it be too crowdy to display a SMS message on the SLIDE?

2. When a SMS come in, a notification will come out. After view/dismiss that notification, it'll be displayed on SLIDE. Is it a duplication?

3. There is no easy way to retrieve SMS message, while the next Appointment info can be easily retrieved from registry & SNAPI.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] geekyhawkes:
Has anyone else noticed a potential bug with slide2unlock?

I have noticed that if slide2unlock is running the wm5 alarm doesnt sound correctly. It runs the vibrate option (although shorter than normal) but fails to run any audio files.

If you stop slide2unlock then the alarm works fine again.

I realise this is a minor bug, but its forcing me to stop/start slide2unlock every day so my alarm functions correctly
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
What's your setting of "OffLCD"? Is it too short? 15s is recommended. Besides, when both vibrate & sound are enable in the system's alarm, sound will not come until the vibrate is finished.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] roboHaxx:
A_C, when I installed 1.18, it was missing the file unreadmms.bmp from the resource folder. I restored the file from a previous backup and all is well. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rohanmaini:
Ditto... Except I did not have the old backupfile, so I just duplicated the SMS file & renamed it as MMS

@roboHaxx: Would appreciate it if you could upload the UnreadMms.bmp file
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackbnymbl:
Is there any chance of a graphics/minor code patch update for WM2003SE, just the graphics files that changed, and maybe some of the code that will work if you have time? It could be just zipped like the original releases.
