[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hai-zi:
I second that. Sometimes I have already ignored a call or answered an unwanted call by accident while trying to get my phone out of the holster/pocket.

Perhaps having two sliders... one to answer the call and another one to ignore the call or... better yet, have the slide more towards the center of the line and... Slide to the right to answer and Slide to the left to ignore the call.

But... A_C... I have one request/suggestion of my own.

Is there too much trouble to keep two versions of your appications? One with all the whistles and features and a simple one with just the simple slider/caller ID? I don't want to be force to stop using you excellent application just because all the added features rendering a slow and unstable application.

As mentioned before, the more is added to the application (i.e. weather, animated gif, etc and all posible further options) the applications will run slower, eat moore ram, more incompatability issues amoung devices and... more freezes.

totalcommander ppc downloaded!!

I downloaded it now how do i use it to edit my registry?I guess i am getting some where but i am trying to edit my register for slide 2 unlock to make it work right. Where do i go in this totalcommander to edit it and what do i put? thanx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
don't know if anyone has this problem, but if I have Caller ID on , sometimes I can't seem to pick up a call. Sometimes it takes about 3 presses of the talk key, sometimes 1 press of the on screen talk key and sometime I cannot pick the call at all!

If I turn off caller id, it isn't a problem, but I need Caller ID.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
I don't know if I have the same problem you are having, but when I start S2U in portrait mode, everything is OK, but when I'm using the qwerty (landscape) when a call comes in, it takes a lot of time for the caller ID to show, so 4 out of 5 times I end up losing the call.

I would be nice to have the option to keep in portrait while in landscape, I don't remember which version was, but S2U had it.

One thing that I would love to have is, tasks, It doesn't have to be like the appointments but SMS, MMS, etc. :P

download and install a registry editor. i use phm regedit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dresplace:
i did already

i downloaded a editor already (total commander) now how do i use it to edit the program im lost
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dfkimbro:
You can make registry changes with a variety of programs...you can use TotalCommander or PHM Registry Editor (Regedit). I prefer Regedit.

Make registry changes with caution! You can hose your device with registry changes. Always make a backup of a stable registry before you make ANY changes.

To make changes in Total Commander, double click on the folder titled "\\". Double click on the "registry" folder, and you will see the keys with abbreviated names (HKCR, HKCU, etc.) Navigate by double clicking to HKCU\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock. Change a value by double-clicking the value.

To make registry changes with Regedit, just open the program and you will see the registry tree. These are HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR), HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU), HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM), HKEY_USERS (HKU). These are where the registry keys reside. For Slide2Unlock, the registry keys are located in HKCU\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock. Then follow the instructions in A_C's readme. To create a new value using Regedit, just click Edit, New String Value or New DWORD Value, depending on the instructions.

Anyone help me

Hi all,

can any one help me !! I installed slide unlock on my t-mobile dash. it was running nice but after some time, it starts showing black screen and no keys of the mobile responds except the start/shutdown. It seems to me that mobile gets shut down after some time when slide unlock runs. Because of this problem, every time, I have to restart my mobile. Temporarily, I uninstalled it from my mobile.

I installed v1.18. has any one over here faced same problem like me? I really appreciate the help!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Minor bug found

I don't know if someone else experienced this, but having the callerId feature enabled, I sometimes have a strange behaviour:

When I wake up the phone, the Slide2Unlock screen appears but the date under the clock gradually slides to right!

I'll upload a video if the problem occours again.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chris2k5:
Anyone know how to remove the "developed by AC" on the slide screen?

It is really annoying as it ruins the look, and makes the alignment all jagged...

Plus, why advertise on our devices?!?! We are the only ones using them and we already know you...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ginex:
What do you think about remove Microsoft from Excel\Word\Outlook splash screens ? :-) I think it's a very little price to pay for a such great software
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
AMEN to that!!!! I do believe A_C did mention how in a prior post somewhere in here, I am sure he will answer when he gets back, personally though, I agree with Ginex though....small price to pay.

I would do a brouse through the entire thread though...I think I remember him saying something about removing it because he joked about it not being able to be removed because his name was on it (then he told us how).

Good luck!!!

thanx now what about the caller i.d

thanx duncan, now i fixed the time, how do i get the caller i.d to work? i read the first page and it says this ...(STRING) under "\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock"

but my registry doesnt have a HKEY part to it. How do i get my called i.d to work right with slide2unlock? what settings do i use? and where do i go? thanx alot guys
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] neonstorm:
True, plus it's only there for a couple of seconds when you first start slide.exe. After that (AFAIK) you don't see it again... until you stop ilock.exe and restart it.

Ryan
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] neonstorm:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER is one of the four initial branches of the registry. Sometimes it's abbreviated HKCU... It should be the second in the list.

Hope it helps,

Ryan
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
I don't know why you want to do that, Ginex made a good point.

A_C made the app or improve it to what it is today, he has the right to put the credits on it.

Besides It only shows up when you start the app and then dissapears, that was a nice touch, very professional. ;)

Other developers would have put a watermark or a permanent "Developed by" on the screen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
Perhaps the perfect solution is transparent (or about 50% transparent) watermark on one of the corners. Then it's not to prevalent, but it wouldn't slide away as give and take sort of thing. The small sliding white text does take away from the look a little, but I think that a watermark, perhaps an emboss type effect, would look good, and still give the credit where credit is due.

Call ID not batting 1000

Every 1 out of 10 times; my call ID pops up with a contact who is in my phone and has a picture assigned to them; but it will say "Caller Unknown" and have no picture. But if that same person calls later; it will work. And then, who knows... I've noticed it mainly when my phone is idle and hasn't been used for a whiel and I receive a call. What's the deal?...:confused:

hey guys thanx alot for your help so far i got caller i.d working great :) one last thing i have to do i am trying to install the animated globe stated on post one of this posting. It says to import the globe registry to the slide2unlock registry file and i have am having the hardest time figuring out how to do it, i have totalcommand and i am trying to move/copy/or import that amimatedglobe file to my slide2unlock registry can anyone tell me how to import the file or move it there? thanx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wonder12:
Just click on the registry file and it will it will prompt whether to import to registry or not.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dresplace:
doesnt work

thanx but that doesnt work, can someone tell me just how to paste this animatedglobe file in the registry cause i have tried everything and its just not working.how do you import it to the registry file?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cobalt78:
If you can't copy (import) the .reg file, write it !

added support to animated Wallpaper (but not GIF)

Add the .bmp file to " \Program Files\Slide2Unlock\GFX\Res" directory

into registry under "\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock"

add - "WpFrameNo" (DWORD) with the number of frames in the file; (for globe is 30)

add - "WpFrameRate" (DWORD) with the number of milliseconds the frames will be changed; (for globe is 100)

for the Landscape wallpaper, use "WpLFrameNo" & "WpLFrameRate" correspondingly
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
does no one else have this problem?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vithudu:
Yes, it hapenned to me. I guessed that you've installed S2U in your Storage Card, so this would take longer time to response to your pressing on talk-key. It sometimes does not have any effect at all, i.e. you cannot take the call nor reject the call.

So, my suggestion is that you re-install S2D in /Program Files/. Hope it will work.:) :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
actually, i have it installed in main memory (\Program files), not storage card.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
I do have this problem as well. Even after I've S2U residing in the RAM. No choice, have to deactivate the Caller ID feature for now. Missed too many calls.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
this being such a serious problem, i am surprised other people are not reporting this. I have a 6800 (mogul) from sprint with wm6. What are you running?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
silly question:

with 1.19, do i need to install an older version first and "update" with 1.19 or can i just install 1.19?

I would think it's the latter since it did not mention that 1.19 is a patch, but wanted to be sure.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
i didn't even realize that deactivating the caller id, the default caller id still works. it will have to do for now, unless someone have a solution.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] matthew232:
I have a treo 700wx and have noticed a couple of things and have tried different work arounds, etc.

First, with the latest 1.19 version, I am back to having to push the red button 2-3 times before it finally "wakes up" and shows the slide...very annoying. A_C addressed this problem in the 1.83 patch but I noticed with the 1.184 patch and 1.19 version it goes back to the pre-1.183 issue of having to push the button a couple of times to get it to respond, even after enabling "NoPowerSuspend".

Second, my callerID is not working all of a sudden. I add the "IncomingText" string value and set it to "Incoming call" (the default title for incoming calls on the treo) and after I get a call from an unknown number it automatically switches the registry IncomingText string value to "Phone - Incoming". I've tried a bunch of things, reinstalling, etc. but it always reverts to "Phone -Incoming" and then prevents the caller id option from working leading nothing happening on the screen when I get a call, its just the standard slide2unlock screen until the phone stops ringing and then shows the missed call icon. Very weird. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] myk_83:
Text message

I don't suppose there's any way of getting slide2unlock to handle incoming text messages (and e-mails I guess) like phone calls?

Even if it's just something in the middle of the screen that says "New message from xxxx" instead of having the slide2unlock screen disappear and the standard windows mobile notification pop up.

The other problem, which isn't really a problem, is on my Wizard, when I turn the phone on in portrait, then slide out the keyboard and it automatically switches to landscape, my phone is unlocked. Not really a problem, because if u turn the phone on and then slide out the keyboard, you're obviously going to be using it and so you won't need it locked. But just a thought :-)

Hi, hoping someone can give me some insight.

I've been using S2U for a month, and everytime i install it on my MDA, it will work for a day or two, but then it will freeze up my phone. Opening any other programs, even Messaging extreme lags. I give it a soft reset, and it works fine for a few minutes, then the lagging comes back. I've reflashed and loaded it with the same effects.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PianoSam:
AC,

Sadly my problem persists. I have tried the following:

1. Run iLock.exe then edit registry and the rerun iLock.exe. Works OK until I do a soft reset when the registry settings are lost.

2. Edit registry and then run iLock.exe twice. Works ok until a soft reset when all changes are lost.

So I wonder if you can offer me any ideas. I am running on a touch and using .19 version in default. I am setting just show apointment data and then this is lost after a soft reset. Older versions worked OK.

I can modify other registry settings for other apps no problem and they remain persistent.

Once again many thanks for your patience,

Sam.

How about this way:

- stop iLock

- edit the registry

- start iLock & SLIDE

Besides, which program you used to edit the registry? And try to press the power button twice before soft reset your device. This will help to flush the registry saving process.

I don't have any caller id application installed. The two major apps installed are O2 Plus and SPB Mobile Shell.

Bug

Hey A_C,

Very nicely done mate. I would like to report a bug though. I'm using Atom Life, the slide button seem to stop moving back to the left after 3-4 successful locks. Also sometimes the s2u doesn't appear when I switched on my pda, instead goes directly to the start page, which is WAD by the way..

Do you know what's causing it? Hope u had a nice holiday, back to work now i guess...

Also installing this aplication all the screens in the phone looks like the Iphone or only the main screen to lock and unlock the phone ?

@JueLue

Sorry I've overlooked your post. Pls give me some time to think about it as I'm afraid that "slide to answer" is an issue that will make Apple angry.

@khemu

What's the language of your device?

@Jeranimo

It's a known problem with Atom Life, i.e. it's a device specific problem that cannot be solved.

@alex5213

Pls install the app in device, storage card is not supported. The readme file is copied to the installed path together with those EXE files. The default path is "\Program Files\Slide2Unlock". I've just reattached it to the 1st post. And this is only a locking program.

new fonts for time display

(I posted this in the other thread, but thought I'd post it here, too.)

A_C, I hope you don't mind, but I made a couple alternative fonts for the time display. One is based on 'marker', the other on a 'computer' font.

To use the new fonts, you have to copy the new images to the correct folder. I suggest you make a copy of the current images in case you want to go back.

Unzip the attached file and place the contents in the folder

\Program Files\Slide2Unlock\GFX\Clock

After you copy the files, run the program iLock.exe on your device, and you'll get a dialog box stating 'iLock & slide are closed.' Now run iLock again (no message this time) and you're set.

Thanks for all your hard work A_C.

I've been using MortSaver for some time, but find that Slide2Unlock is superior in a number of ways. I generally turn the LCD off when listening to music (well, podcasts mainly), and find that S2U exits cleanly when a call comes in, something that Mort never quite did elegantly.

Hi there,

i just installed slide 2 unlock on my o2 xda neo. it works like a charm... but there is one thing.

When i wakeup the phone from sleep mode the keylock is activated and only after i deactivated it with two times "entsperren"/unlock (it's a german phone) slide 2 unlock comes up.

This may be extra safe ;) but is there a way to deactivate the keylocker after wakeup?

update:

i just saw that batterystatus-plugin locked the phone on wakeup... turned it off and now works like a charm.
