understandable...this brings up an interesting point. This app was designed for a large number of devices, so every scenario may be different for every user...makes it hard for A_C. For example in this case, I suggested what I did because I have a Mogul, and I usually don't slide anything out (and thus no need to close) to answer the phone.

What phone are you using?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
I am curious..have you checked the registry since you have done the soft reset to see the value of IncomingText now that it is working?

I was under the impression based on A_C original instructions that all english language phones have "Phone - Incoming" as the text during a normal caller id window. On my mogul with WM6, for example, the normal caller id box has "Incoming Call" in the main white box, but it says "Phone - Incoming" in the colored tab on top of the white box, and I thought this is what we go by. Is your phone's default caller id different?

I am just wondering if by soft resetting, the registry put in the correct value for you, and that's why it's working.

Edit: Just test this out myself..changed IncomingText from "Phone - Incoming" to "Incoming Call". Closed iLock and then reopen iLock. It still works. Went back to registry and noticed IncomingText was automatically changed back to "Phone - Incoming", but I believe you have to receive a phone call before you see this auto change.

So ssimon, check your registry again.

HTC Home weather icon problem

First of all, thank you for your great job A_C, I love your program.

I've just find a minor bug about the HTC Home weather icons...

When the HTC Home displays a sunny weather slide2unlock displays a sunny weather icon but with clouds.

I don't know what's the situation in different weather conditions because the sun is shining in Budapest. :)

I found the files 30.bmp (I think that was the sunny weather icon) and 32.bmp (maybe that was the sunny but with clouds icon) in the weather folder. I change the two files and now it works properly.

I'm very concerned how it'll work in different weather conditions. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] srt10coupe:
1. Slide2Answer: works correctly

2. Pushed the Power Button decline call: works correctly

3. The performace is better
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mifungo:
about 1.20 release

about *Slide2Answer*

Pretty good! It works fine on my device. On answer (with slide) and on decline (with power off) call too.

I hope 'Unknown calls' were supported soon.

about *Tasks*

Tasks number reporting on a limited range of date would be better appreciated (probably another registry setting to show due tasks and those at one, two... weeks).

I've tasks scheduled on next year too and it's no so much important for the S2U to show them.

Always thanks A_C for this app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] watchdog:
Many thanks for release 1.20
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Don't change the files yet as I'm afraid it'll not work properly if it's changed in the future release.

Actually, there are 2 weather info for current day: one is the most updated one; the other is the current forecast one. Right now SLIDE will retrieve the forecast one (the same as the other weather apps, it always shows the forecast one). That's why SLIDE shows a different icon from what you see on the HTC's today screen. Maybe I should change SLIDE to show what you see on the today screen... :confused:

For the "Unknown calls", have you checked your address book that does it have any entries with this name?

For the "Task", I took a balance of not showing overcrowded info. So, only the total no. of Active Task is shown.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi A_C

Over here at Singapore, the telephone company offer such service as to 'block out' the caller phone number (meaning you will not see any phone number at all). Thus, I've received 'Unknown calls' and with Slide2Unlock Caller ID feature (even with this new v1.20) activated, I failed to answer the call. Or should I said, Slide2Unlock didn't manage to 'pick up' the call nor can I answer it (Slide 2 Answer is not even there). :-(

Have no problem when the call has a number displaying.

Can you help to resolve this? Cos' I've a family member whose home line has this feature activated. Thus, I won't be able to pick up their call if I have S2U activated. :(

p.s. I've set S2U to reside in RAM.

[Edit - Forgot to say 'Great Job' for this new version, esp the 'Slide 2 Answer' feature! Cool!!]
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mifungo:
Not sure i understand.

I have to create a contact named "Unknown calls"?

Oh yes, i agree with you about overcrowded info. But i ask for the same icon to show total no. of Active Task but in a range of date i.e. a week or two.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zsitvayb:
Thanks, so if i understand you well, you say that the cloudy icon by the slide2unlock means the weather forecast instead of the sunny weather displayed by the HTC Home which means the actual weather?

If my explanation was right that's pretty good for me...:) I'm going to change back the two files.

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zsitvayb:
I noticed the same. If somebody calls me without caller id forwarding I can't answer the call only when the caller id is forwarded by his provider.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] toniolol:
Hi,

I've tried this application since v1.19, so I've just made an "upgrade" by copiing files to my device and add the entry Slide2Answer.

Every thing ok, but my button doesn't change to green color like on the picture on first page...not really matter by more beautifull !!!

The other question is for the missings calls, is it possible to convert the text in French ?

Thanks in advance, very good application nice and very usefull !!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
Version 1.2 with its "slide2answer" - feature works perfect for me and is exactly what I neet. Thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] watchdog:
First of all I like Slide2Unlock very much.

One question and one remark.

Question: is it possible to unhide the last caller via for example the registry (ShowLastCaller = 0 | 1)

Remark: i have a HTC Touch. With the previous version of Slide2Unlock (1.19), unlocking was only possible by finger. With this version you can unlock also by using the right part of the 5-way navigation control. Bug?

---

Add one more question: Slide2Answer is a nice feature but why not ending the call via the hardware button. Works for me easier. Solution maybe via the registry (EndCallSlide2Answer = 1 | 2 | 3 -> 1_poweroff button 2_hardware button 3_both)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@Sian

Thanks for the explanation. In my place, when an unknown caller calls my device, it'll show "restricted". And there is no way to emulate this situation in an emulator. That's why I don't know this problem exists. Let me try to dig somewhere else to find the solution...

@mifungo

No, do not create that entry. I just understand your real problem.

For the task, sorry, that's too complicated to add the date range.

@zsitvayb

Yes, that's what it is right now.

@watchdog

That's not the last caller, that's the last missed caller. Why you need to disable it? I thought it's a welcome feature.

For the Dpad, have you set DpadOn to 1?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] watchdog:
Hi A_C,

In both options DpadOn=0 and DpadOn=1, the welcome screen shows the last missed caller.

About welcome feature: it is but I like the rule "less is more". Therefore is it possible to show the last missed caller information by selecting the phone icon with numbers of missed cals. Selecting again it will disappear. So, if the ShowMissedCaller=0, no info on the welcome screen unless selecting the phone icon. I hope my explanation is clear.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
The DpadOn is for the Dpad setting... you said "right part of the 5-way navigation control".

PLS READ THE README FOR DETAILS.

There is no registry setting for the missed caller. Once you dismiss the missed call notification, it'll gone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] watchdog:
Sorry, my mistake about DpadOn feature. With DPadOn=0, unlocking via the the 5-way navigation control is not possible.

I know there's no registry setting for the missed caller. But it can be a nice feature for your next release.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
"Date slides to right" bug reproduced

Finally I did reproduce the bug! :)

When I got an incoming call, the Slide2Unlock screen appears and it slides the time and the date to right. But if the caller hangs the call before the date completes his sliding, it will then continue sliding everytime.

Here is the video

[EDIT] Uploaded the right video.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] watchdog:
One more thing and then I'll start enjoying the new app (1.20)

Although it is a nice feature, is it possible to show/hide the Active Task icon ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lmbranco:
Its a fantastic piece of software that you have designed, my only real problem is that whenever i get a sms i get the windows notification and the mobile is unlocked. Is there something i have missed or is this a feature?

thanks,

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] henftling:
+1, yep I have to many open tasks...it´s depressing...to see i every time on start-up
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
In my call history, it shows 'Unknown'.. Thought I should let you know in case you need the info.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Entropyst:
same here. My brain records that icon as "some message or lost call", I'd like to hide it too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zsitvayb:
The same as mine... And sometimes 'Private'...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jtonton:
Hi A_C

First, thanks for your great job...

Just try 1.20, and as many other users :

- Unknow/private callers are very important for me... I receive a lot of calls from foreign contacts, and callerID is not always forwarded between providers...

- Idem for the active task icon...Let me think i've miss a call...

- Being able to reject a call using reject button is more usefull than the power one...

Back to 1.19 :o
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Yes, forgot about the private number.. Have it here too.

Yes, overseas calls will be 'unknown' as well, esp if one use 'calling card', which i believe is going through server/internet. Hence, no number.

Really hope this can be resolved.. then S2U will be even more perfect!:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zsitvayb:
Anyway there is a solution to receive the 'unknown' calls with my artemis. The phone rings or vibrate the same way as normal when somebody calls me. I can unlock it by the slide and after that I can open the phone app. by pressing the green (send call) hardware button. And if I push again the send call button it receives the call. I think it's the difficultiest way to answer a call, but working and can be useful for others. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
Well this is disappointing. It looks like I'm the only one that 1.20 doesn't work for. When it's locked and I get a call, S2U goes away, and the phone's standard incoming call notification pops up. After hanging up, S2U pops right back up.

I've done a full uninstall and reinstall a couple times, multiple resets, still the same thing. Please help A_C! :) I can't live without S2U!

Edit: Sorry, to give a little more info, this is on a Sprint Mogul (PPC6800)

Edit 2: More info, it also doesn't show the missed call or the new last missed call on S2U when it goes back. (I've been testing by just calling it then hanging up) So I guess that tells me that it's link to the calling system is broken for me
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cobalt78:
1.20

Great job !!!

On my Artemis:

- like others I have the same probleme with unknowing call.

- The weather icon from HTC home work perfect :D

- don't use "Active Task"

I come back to 1.19 for call unknowing call very important for me :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] letsgoflyers81:
I just installed 1.20. I've never used Slide2Unlock's Caller ID in earlier versions but I enabled it to use the Slide2Answer function. It's not working for me. My phone rings, the Caller ID screen comes up with the answer and ignore buttons, but neither one of them work. I can't pick up or ignore the call. It just rings until it goes to voicemail. When I activate Slide2Answer, I can move the slider but it just freezes until the call goes to voicemail, then the standard Slide2Unlock screen pops up. When I disable Caller ID everything works fine as it did before.

I installed 1.20 by overwriting the necessary files of 1.19 rather than doing a full install so I wouldn't lose my registry configuration. I then added the Slide2Answer dword value in the registry. I'm using an HTC Titan aka Mogul aka PPC-6800 with Windows Mobile 6 Professional on Sprint. Any ideas? Thanks.

Answers

@watchdog, @jtonton

If you do not need "slide to answer", simply set "Slide2Answer" to 0 & restart iLock.

@lmbranco

You have not missed anything.

@Sian

Pls read your PM, thx.

@letsgoflyers81

Maybe try a new installation with the CAB file. Before that, you can export the registry at \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock first. After the installation, you can import the backup reg file back to your device. (Task Manager has all these reg import/export functions) However, if your device still cannot use the power button to end a call, then pls do not enable "Slide2Answer".

@others

1. For disable the "Active Task" icon, I'll add an option in the next release.

2. I just noted the unknown caller problem, hope a solution will be found soon...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
First of all, thanks for the Request consideration (active tasks), I love it, finally I took out the tasks part from my today screen.

The missed call detail is a nice touch, very useful, one knows if a known contact call was missed.

Unfortunately, slide to answer didn't work for me, I don't know why.

In 1.19 usually the first call after turning on the phone use to show as unknown call even though it was on contacts, that seems to be fixed.

Caller ID doesn't work when unknown callers call, I'm not able to answer, that being said I had to return to 1.19.

Those would be my two problems, but I like a lot the new features (Tasks, missed call detail).

BTW, I installed 1.20 from zero, I completely remove 1.19 before installing it.

I'm on the Official latest ROM and my PPC is the AT&T 8525 (Hermes)

Keep it up A_C. ;)

Reject call button and SlidetoAnswer

A great app!

Thanks for the update!

Just a quick request which I am echoing from jtonton. Would it be possible to use slidetoanswer but have it so that the reject call button on my artemis is used instead of the power button?

That would make it perfect for me!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
A_C,

Great job. It's an exciting time to try the new version s2u.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
Uninstalled 1.19, then i soft reset and then reinstalled 1.20

At first it looks great but I did notice something. I enabled caller id=1 as well as slide2answer. On the first call, the number shows up but no picture or name. Second call shows it just fine and also afterwards they all show it. So just remember the first call after a reboot or install may not display evrything correctly sometimes, but try another call. Not that big of a deal for me.

Silde2answer initially looked great and i thought all my problems have were solved with not being able to answer some calls, but it came back. I got one call with number but when i slide to the right, the button got stuck to the right and I couldn't answer or do anything. It went to missed call and everything was fine again.

I will enable dpad and see what happens.

Answers

@iamholam

Your request is unreasonable & contradicting - the purpose of "slide to answer" is to lock every keys except the screen interaction & a not to be easily pressed key - "power button". So, repeat, if you don't want it, pls disable "Slide2Answer".

@superflysocal, @matthew232

Pls follow these steps:

1. stop iLock

2. edit the registry, under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock, add a new DWORD with name "CallerIDKeyDelay" & value 60 (decimal) or greater.

3. start iLock & SLIDE

4. try the "slide to answer" or any receive/decline call action again, if still not work, try to increase the value of "CallerIDKeyDelay" & restart iLock.

Pls let me know does it work for your devices.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
i have only had this happened once so far, not all calls. have you tried enabling dpad=1 and answer with holding down right d-pad?

hi,

thank you for this soft, very nice, but i have a problem to set callerid,

i install s2u 1.19, my cell is a htc p3600.

in the folder slide to unlock (under program), i have gfx folder, ac_date, ac_operator,history,ilock,readme and slide, where i can found the setting? i nerver succes with callerid:confused:

in the readme i read

"c. new a registry value "IncomingText" (STRING) under "\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock" and enter EXACTLY the above TEXT

d. set "CallerID" to 1 (fullscreen mode) or 2 (thumbnail mode)"

i can't found \hkey_current_user\sofware\A_C\slide2unlock, what and where is it, maybe my question was stupid, but thank you to be kind whit me, i know i'm really newbie.

thank guy:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
initial results: did this with 60 value had problem right away answering call. changed to 70 and didn't have problem. changed back to 60 and didn't have problem. Seems like my issue is too inconsistent to know what is fixing it or not. Will leave it at 70 for now. Will this affect how long it takes before caller id shows up?

i have sprint mogul with wm6 by the way.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jtonton:
I understand your initial goals when you implement Slide2answer, and I 100% agree with it, but when you choose the power button to reject calls, you maybe choose a button too difficult to use :rolleyes:

Don't know for others users, but I reject at least 10 calls/day... So an easiest way to reject calls can be very usefull :p

Maybe a "slide2reject" ???? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
Why is the power button hard to use? If you reject the phone, are you not hitting the power button to turn the screen back off and put it away? That, by far, makes the most sense to me. If it was something like the red "hang up" button, then you'd have to push that, then push the power to turn off the display still.

Power button call reject would be better for me!!

It is the only button I can get to easily when it is in the holster.

The other buttons are easily pressed in the pocket or holster so slide to answer makes perfect sense to me as does the power button reject. Quite brilliant actually...

to each his own I guess....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zsitvayb:
Go to your system root using the '..' button, and after go to the '\\' "folder". You will see the registry...

I hope u will find...good luck.

cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
i also second the power button for reject. slide2reject would mean you have to take it out to reject...sometimes you just want it to stop ringing or vibrating regardless of who is calling.

Please leave it as is.

Just got another call that I was not able to answer with slide2unlock. Strange thing is same person called back later 1 hour later and i can slide2answer just fine.

Don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but the 2 calls that i was not able to slide2answer were first time callers after the v1.20 install. Same caller called back later and it is fine. I am trying to find another phone I haven't used today to test this theory.

edit: scratch that, it happens with repeat callers also. Looks like CallerIDKeyDisplay at 60 or 70 is not working for me. I will take it off for now.
