I have it on portrait mode when it freezes up i never go into landscape mode when using the iphone theme! my ram is as followed on my device as were i put the slide 2 unlock.

Storage Program

Total:39.44mb Total:43.87

In Use:27.29mb In Use: 41.13mb

Free: 12.13mb Free:2.74mb

You know what would be causing the white screen and making my ppc freeze up everytime i called my phone! I had to disable caller id to make it stop freezing up. thanks really good program
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
Hey A_C, I see that 1.20 screenshot up there. I can't wait for the slide to answer. That reminded me that I didn't buy you that coffee the other day because I got busy, so you should see something coming through now. Thanks for all the work you've done for us.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LiQuiD FrEeZe:
this time i uninstalled some apps but not a whole differance.. but when i tried to start slide 2 unlock and called my phone this time it didnt turn white. when i get a call it looks like the regular square calling box comes up and right when its about to come up it freezes but it doesnt turn the screen white it just shows the clownfish background and freezes and u see the phone call getting recieved in the top corner near the signal. am i suppose to disable something in my settings or something to not let my manufactured caller id show up?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mdavenport:
I dont really want to change the alarm program I am using as I paid for it and rely heavily on the "sleepyhead" alarm mode as I cant get up in the morning and normally just turn other alarms off...

Any other ideas?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I know this may sound a bit basic, and simplistic in thought, but if you set your Idlestart to keep the device active while on a charger, your alarm will still go off. Other than that, I have a lock shortcut on my Today screen (in SPB MobileShell), and turn off S2L whenever I am afraid of missing an alarm, or if my phone starts freezing!!

Does this help at all?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mdavenport:
This sounds like a reasonable workaround.

Does idlestart need to be 1 or 0? Mine is currently set to 1
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Setting it to 0 will disable it, not letting slide activate just with the backlight turning off. I also set my device to stay active with AC power, the backlight turns off, but the device remains active.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wwwdrich:
A_C,

I think I found one of the causes of hangs, at least on my device, a Samsung i730. It looks like if Slide2Unlock puts the device to sleep while a data connection (Verizon EVDO) is active it will never wake up again.

Is there any way for you to either not suspend if there is an active data connection or to terminate the connection before suspending?

This isn't just your app btw, I have seen the same sort of issue if I suspend the device with the power switch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
wwwdrick...look a couple posts back, what I mentioned about idlestart (disabling - 0) will fix this as well...I used to have this problem with my activsyncs!!

Just came by to tell you that the Slide to answer look veerrrrrrrryyyyy nice. :P

Keep it up.

Will be waiting for its release. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
what if you happen to slide to halfway ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
Slide to answer!

Slide to answer will solve one holster issue for me! YAY!

(Now if we (those of us who miss the feature) could just convince A_C to make locking during calls an option..)

S2U is great A_C!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
A_C I forgot to mention, any chance you can add number of TASKS?

That'll be very useful, thanks. :D

Then my friend, you have a missed call. :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
A_C,

Can't wait for slide to answer. Have you been able to recreate my problem with caller id (with CID on, sometimes i cannot answer a phone or takes multiple presses of the answer button), so that it can be fixed for the next release?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] R3PUBL1K:
after install on my TOUCH without changing anything my device does not wake up when I press the power button.

I will read up on this thread and else where now to learn of other experiences. Looks like a good application.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
I did :rolleyes: and that's what was causing problems (alarms not sounding) with S2U hence switching to pTravelAlarm and I have had no problems since.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keishou:
@A_C

No other programs installed... I've done two hard resets. Once, with all the apps installed from the external rom and another hard reset without the external rom loaded. Both times the only other app loaded was the latest version of S2U (1.19). This is on a Sprint Mogul, btw. Once the device goes into "power off" mode, I'll hit the side power button and the S2U screen will be there. Unlocked phone, waited again for the device to go into power off mode. Now any of the other keys, Mail, IE, Windows key, etc will not wake the device. But when I press the Phone End key down, it will put the phone into Flight Mode or vice verse turn on the Phone radio. And the same with the Phone Send key. It will dial the last number called. I've tested with another Sprint Mogul and same exact thing. Kind of annoying if you keep it in the leather case and it'll accidentally power off the phone radio or even worse accidentally redial the last call and you won't realize it. Other than this, the application is great!

One thing I know people have been asking for and looks like it's being added in 1.20 is the Slide to Answer... would it be possible to implement an option to ignore the call with sms? Thanks again for the great work! Now where do I go to buy you a cup of joe? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RichieRich777:
I have a Sprint Mogul & I have had none of these issues with S2U 1.19... Just an FYI...

@ahlok_hk, @CheezWiz

For the "lock on talking", let me think about it...

@jolas

For the "light" version, I'm now looking for a C++ Graphic Library which at least has sprites management & alpha blending function. If anyone has any suggestion, pls drop a post here.

@Zaber

You may try different vertical & horizontal size combination; or crop the pic first at your PC. Other than that, you may have to ask Inesoft.

@LiQuiD FrEeZe

2.xM free RAM is very small & I'm afraid your device will hang at any time. Pls try to free more...

@mdavenport

Have you tried the option "SafeMode"?

@syrguy1969, @wwwdrich

Pls read your PM, thx.

@xxza, @DJ_Nitro

For the Task info, I may able to extract the no. of overdue task. Is that what you want?

@superflysocal

Noted but not sure yet.

@Windoze9t8

Maybe your device need to run in "SafeMode"... pls try.

@keishou

Are you using a cooked/custom ROM? With RichieRich777's comment, I'm afraid I could not offer any help further.

@junkyarddog

The "slide to unlock" & "end call + answer" are all graphics files located at the GFX subfolder. You can change them to whatever you want.

@others

Thanks for your comments. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ragedog:
First off, I love this program. With that being said, version 1.19 has locked up my device numerous times when receiving an incoming call. I have a Sprint Mogul with the original Rom. I am assuming it has issue with the caller id function, which only shows the correct info about 50% of the time. My next action is to complete remove S2U and try a fresh install and hopefully that fixes some settings issues or something. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
Thanks for the response, actually It would be nice if it shows the number of active tasks, in my case, I have some tasks without due date, they're things that just have to be done or tasks that I have to do before a certain due date.

Thanks again, great job!.

A_C,

Some How I Got The Slide2Unlock Caller Id working! the thing i did was i went into the registry and changed IncomingText to Incoming Text than it started working! It works flawlessly now! Cant wait for 1.20 to come out. You know when the E.T.A is on 1.20? I uninstalled some programs on my storage card that was all. My Storage Is At 11.07MB free and Program 7.81 Free. But this is a really great program keep it up! Also how do u get onto the slide2unlock website? i went to it and it asks for username and password. How do u get into ur site? how do u get the username and password! Also does neone know were or provide a link to were to get a good iphone dialpad with smartdial. I got the iphone dialpad from lakesdrige for wisbar and desktop site! do any of u know is there a better one out there than that one?

thanks

Caller ID still not working v1.19

Awesome job A_C!!!

I installed clean v1.19 and got it to work, but for some reason Caller ID still pops-up the same standard notification box as before. It does not seem like Slide2Unlock is intercepting it.

For reference I am using a USA/English model Verizon Treo 700WX v1.22

LiQuiD FrEeZe, you said you went into the registry and changed "IncomingText" to "Incoming Text". Where the heck is that? I cannot seem to find it....

UPDATE: My "CallerID" key is set to "2", but the registry value "IncomingText" (STRING) under "\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock" seems to have been part of v1.18, a clean install of v1.19 does NOT create this key!

Should I create it manually?

Does anyone know?

Thanks!

@ A_C,

sorry for the late. I finally get the "date slides to right" bug again (it rarely happens) and made a screen capture. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce it.

Here is the video.

EDIT: You can also notice another "very minor" bug: Even if the time is configured to be shown in 24h, when I slide, the lock symbol on top is replaced by a 12h clock.

Lock on keyboard close not working as was in version 1.14

Cross posting from the v.1.17 thread as this one seems to be getting more traffic..

Very similar problem here, though previous versions have worked "as expected". Using a i730 with WM5. The old version I used (1.14) would execute/lock when the keyboard slider closed, locking the phone with slide2unlock. I installed the newest version 1.19 (newer is better right?), and lost the keyboard slider interaction. Slide2unlock activates only when the LCD back light times out, regardless if open or closed keyboard.

Not sure if I had to make a reg entry on the original install or not, and not being able to find the old version to compare, I don't know if the keyboard interaction was default or custom configuration.

RE: C++

Hey A_C,

I have been looking into this myself. I have not found what you seek, but if I do, I will let you know. The guy who makes PocketCM just recently reprogrammed his app in c++ moving away from VS.net, I wonder if he would be willing to give up some info on what he is using... In any case, if you find it first, please share this way too..

No custom or cooked ROM, just the lastest Sprint ROM. I'll test out on a third Mogul (new out of box) tomorrow and see if the results are the same or different.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keishou:
Do you have any other apps loaded that could interfere or aid with the Send and Receive keys (Green & Red phone keys)? ie: AEButton+

Blank Screen when texts and appointments come up

Hi there

Don't know if this has been posted before but when I get an alarm for texts or appointment reminders the whole screen goes white. (except for the reminder)

Is there a fix for this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] matt-crazy:
Salut !

Je n'arrive pas a configurer Caller ID...

Slide fonctionne parfaitement mais lorsque je reçoit un appel, c'est comme avant son installation...

Comment-faire ???

Merci
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ssimon:
Thanks superfly, but I did follow the instructions and they state that if you have English you do NOT need to mess with the registry.... hence why I did not!

I quote A_C: "So far, iLock is coded to identify the system Caller ID notification in English & Traditional Chinese devices only (i.e. for these devices, simply change the value of "CallerID" as below)"

Therefore, if the "IncomingText" key is truly needed regardless of language/region, then should it not have been installed by default by the v1.19 installer?

UPDATE: Well, to test I did create the "IncomingText" string Key with a value of "Incoming Call" as the text from the caller ID top bar, while "CallerID" was set to "2", and NOTHING, same original caller ID box! I even tried renaming the "IncomingText" key to "Incoming Text" as I saw posted above, started and stopped iLock, and still no luck!

What am I missing????

RE: S2U Random Lockups

Hey A_C,

I had one more "lockup" this morning at 7:35 AM. I am placing that in quotes because the PDA itself does not actually lock up. I was still able to perform a sync although it was slow. It seems that something robs the CPU of cycles and that is why it gets hot. I was able to unlock by sliding out the keyboard and all was well. I can live with this rare and random behavior and avoid safe mode. Thanks for the great work and I hope that the C++ port works out well.

CW
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
ssimon....did you stop and start ilock after the reg changes? Also, if you do a soft reset, sometimes that will help make changes take affect, and start the caller ID. I know these sound remedial, but it is the steps like these that usually get in my way....good luck!!

@A_C

Does it give from your App still an update?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keishou:
I finally captured a quick vid of the issue... This has occured with 3 Moguls, all from a hard reset and only S2U loaded, no other apps were added. Now, it doesn't happen when the device is in standby. If the power button is press to display the unlock screen, the SEND/END keys are active even though the device is still locked. In the video, you can see me holding the end key, and hear it go into Flight Mode and then again powering on the phone. This is some what simluating what might be happening while in the case, the power button could accidentally be press and the pressure from the front of the case is "holding" down the End key...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LiQuiD FrEeZe:
what i did was press ilock to deactivate it went into my registry to find A_C then slide2unlocked. in version 1.19 there is already a value name for IncomingText! so i just put a space between it saved it exit the registry program wait like 10 sec then did a soft reset! it worked right after! but when i just checked my registry again there is another Value name for incoming text. This is how it is for the second one!

Value Name

IncomingText

Value Data

Phone - Incoming

Hope that helps!

also make sure u put data value 1 for callerid to make it work!

@ragedog

I'm working on the CallerID issue, hope the next version will be more compatible.

@LiQuiD FrEeZe

That slide2unlock website is not mine.

@ssimon

As answered by syrguy1969, did you restart iLock after the registry setting changed? And a soft-reset will help you to restart iLock as well.

@Marshall07

Thanks for the video. It's funny. But I need what you'd done before that happened...

@JoeUsername

Did you mean when you slide the keyboard back to "close", then SLIDE will come out? That's a strange behaviour in v1.14. It means that your device will change the system's power state when the keyboard is slided out/back. If you really need that "feature", pls go back to v1.14.

@CheezWiz

Yeah, I admire tene's coding skill. He's a genius.

@keishou

Thank you for your video. Over the last few months here, I've learned that the development environment of WM is a disaster. Even though I've tested the app & it runs smoothly on my device, there are always some exceptions that it does not work on other devices. I won't go to the technical reason behind. But as an end user, you always have the right to test any app before use it (or even buy it, but luckily not in this case). If that's a critical issue & the author already told you that could not be fixed, then pls just leave it alone. Thanks.

@iamholam

No.

@matt-crazy

Although I don't understand what you write, but may I ask you to read the 1st post & the readme file?

@srt10coupe

Just stay tuned. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
The value of IncomingText should be "Phone - Incoming" with no quotes and with one space before and after the dash.

At least that is for the most of us with American phones.

Are you sure, your normal caller ID says "Incoming Call"?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mi|enko:
I have a T-Mobile wing, and I've been bouncin' around with cooked roms, and one of them did have "Phone - Incoming Call". But I found that you can actually edit that in the registry itself, and then just make Slide2Unlock match it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
in trying to recreate problem of ssimon, i noticed that he was right about the instructions. if you are using an english language version, the instruction says you don't need to make a new registry key for incomingtext. So i shut down ilock, uninstalled my slide2unlock and reinstalled it. Check the registry, and there was no registry key called incomingtex. I changed caller id to 1. then i called myself from another phone, and the caller id info showed up fine. went back to the registry and now there is automatically a key called IncomingText with a value of "Phone - Incoming" without the quotes.

Hope this somehow helps you ssimon.

Redoing this as per instruction, I hope it helps me with my not able to pick up certain phone calls with called id on.

edit: not really solve my problem. I am still having to press the answer key multiple times to pickup sometimes (up to 5 or 6 times), although it hasn't gotten to the point of a missed call yet..but i am sure it will.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JoeUsername:
Slide2unlock 1.14 would sense when the keyboard was open/closed and launch accordingly, regardless of the phone's LCD backlight state. How it was sensing the keyboard state and launching, I have no idea, but it was exactly as I had hoped. 1.19 does not, and only launches when the backlight times out, which is way way too late to be useful for locking the phone (by that time it's back in the holster, pocket, or bouncing around the passenger seat of car).

Will "upgrade" to 1.14 for the time being, and keep an eye on the thread.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
why not just hit the power button before putting in pocket?

I am pretty use to that now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JoeUsername:
Because there's no reason to hit the power button. The concept of requiring fewer button pushes was the selling point of using slide to unlock. It allowed me to leave the "lock on close" function turned off yet still have the phone locked. If I don't have to push buttons to lock the phone, that means....less button pushes. If i have to assign the power button now to launch slide2unlock, that increases the number of steps and buttons to push to lock the phone. It makes using it (v 1.19) counter productive (compared to default or 1.14).

Use phone without slide2unlock:

Call comes in, open phone to answer.

Close phone to hang up, phone locks by way of "lock phone on keyboard close" WM5 configuration.

put phone away

Use it with 1.14:

call comes in, open phone to answer

close phone, phone hangs up and relocks with slide2unlock with "lock on close" disabled

put phone away

Use with 1.19:

call comes in, open phone to answer

close phone to hang up (lock on close disabled)

press another key to launch slide 2 unlock or wait for LCD backlight timer to time out for s2u to launch.

put phone away

I like not having to press additional keys to lock the phone, or wait for it to launch, which it does by default. And slide2unlock adds a bit of flare to it, clean wallpaper, large date/time display, cool notification icons, etc. 1.19 requires additional steps for the same functionality that the phone has either by default or with 1.14.

I reinstalled 1.14 for the time being.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ssimon:
SOLVED!!!!

Thank you kindly superfly, syrguy1969 & A_C for your assistance attempts, I really appreciate the "love" on this forum :)

OK, here is what happens now:

1) Clean install of v1.19 did NOT create any "IncomingText" registry key!

2) I manually created the registry key with a value of "Incoming Call" (as that is what my called ID box displays in the title bar), restarted iLock, - no dice!

3) I then renamed the key from "IncomingText" to "Incoming Text" (a space between the words as suggested by syrguy I believe) and restarted iLock - no dice!

4) Interestingly enough, without ANY other changes, I soft-reset the Treo 700WX (for another reason) and guess what? IT WORKED!!!!

(though touching [Answer] or [Hang Up] buttons is tough as something in the background is fighting with Slide2Unlock for screen focus... As it seems superflysocal also reported above)

So final settings for Slide2Unlock v1.19 that worked for my English Treo 700WX are:

A) Install v1.19

B) Manually add the "Incoming Text" String Registry Key with a value of "Incoming Call"

C) Soft Rest the phone!

D) Thank A_C! :)

Anyway, thank you A_C, & I hope you can use this info to troubleshoot/fix this in v1.2....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dannydeman:
I like it, but it's a very heavy application. On the Touch it loads slowly, the phone is already ringing and after 2-3 seconds it comes up. It looks nice, but it's not functional if it does that for me anyways. Good job though :cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Thank you for your testing. Your experience clearly tells the fact:

Remember to RESTART ILOCK after there is any registry settings changed.

I'll add this note in a more prominent place in the readme. And your step B & C should be:

B) Enable "CallerID" (set to 1 or 2)

C) RESTART ILOCK
