Temp Display incorrect

A_C thanks for a great app, you have developed it to its peak.

Pay day soon will buy a coffee as soon as it reaches PayPal.

And as you may have guessed my reason for posting, the temp on slide2unlock is only shown correctly in centigrade but SPBWeather as to be in Fahrenheit for it to show correctly? and I would like both to be in centigrade.

doesnt work on the HTC athena... i have no idea why ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramit66:
ouch!

It worked liked a charm on my Mio A701 up to version 1.17...

I tried 1.173 and 1.174 (mainly for WeatherPanel) and all I got was blank screen...

Any suggestions?

(besides the obvious -- going back to 1.17)

Serious memory leak encountered A_C:

On my Eten M500 WM5 there's a BIG memory leak when ilock.exe is running in the background as I watch movies on Coreplayer 1.04. I have my registry key set up NOT to keep Slide.exe running when I unlock...only iLock.exe remains using about 12KB of RAM. When I first start up Coreplayer I have 27MB free... then about 20 or 30 seconds into the movie the memory drops to about 10MB before causing the system to hang or killing other background processes. When I shut down iLock.exe everything runs fine with free RAM hovering between 26MB to 24MB. I've replicated these results repeatedly over the past day.

To all those having trouble extracting the download, use 7zip instead ofwinrar or winzip. It'll work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NxJay:
Have you tried TCPMP 0.72RC1? Been using slide2unlock with it. Haven't noticed any memory leakage when playing 350mb xvids.

try changing the settings of:

that should work.

Send and End keys still active while phone is "locked"

Haven't had a chance to read through all 70+ pages of posts, but if this has been addressed, forgive me...

Using on a Mogul (PPC6800), device is on standby and "locked", you are still able to redial the last number or power off the phone. Is there a reg edit to completely lock all buttons except for the power button on the side?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] khemu:
My language in phone is English. Btw: Now the Caller ID works - for no fault of mine :)

I have a new problem though: Answer/Cancel buttons (hard/soft both) are unresponsive when using the Caller ID function. Any ideas ?

Oh and yes...I also have AEButtonsPlus installed for mapping the hardware buttons. The red/green keys are however not touched by it. If this is the cause (as it seems to be after testing) can someone suggest another free key mapper working cool with Slide2Unlock ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alamat:
Which Contact Manager for Caller ID?

First off, thank u very much A_C for a remarkable program....can't say that enuff....

I've been using it for a few days now and have finished reading all of 79 pages of the thread. I have that blurry caller ID pics and have seen Sian and others use "Contact Manager". I searched for it here in Xda and found a PPCContactsManager. I tried that but still to no avail so maybe that's not it? Can any of u guys point me to where the actual "Contact Manager" program?

Funny thing though..some of my previous caller ID pics show up fine (used a Sony Ericsson P800 before)..so yes I've tried resizing, etc on Photoshop but still not getting it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
Oh, is that what the iPhone does? Haha, see, I didn't even know. I just want a way to keep the phone locked until it's actually in my hand. The slide to answer is pretty cool, but if you could even leave it locked when a call comes in and we can unlock it then answer, that would at least stop the accidental answers or ignores. Slide to answer would be really cool though if you could do it.

Either way, thanks for everything you've done so far. I'd like to send in a donation for you, but I haven't even had money to buy myself a coffee recently, haha. The bill for my Mogul is due at the beginning of next month. ;) I get paid tomorrow, so I'll drop you something then. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
It's now called PocketCM. It is now v0.8b. Check it out here too.

Is there any way to change the slide function on Smartphone to "UP" instead of "Right", and my phone get shutdown, after the slide2unlock LCD turns off
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
wow, thanks for all those replies A_C.

However, you didn't mention the problem I had which I reported on post 728 and seems like Sian is reporting the same problem.

Sometimes,when I get a call, caller id screen looks fine, but I have to press the answer soft or hard keys many times. Sometimes, once, sometimes 3 times, sometimes it just will not pick up the call and I get a missed call. There is no pattern to it.

Becaus eof this I deactivated the s2u caller id and used system default caller id for now but i am hoping there is a fix.

I am running it on a Sprint Mogul/Titan (6800) with WM6. I am using v1.19.

Edit: seems that khemu is having a similar problem. The only key remapping software i have is smartkeys, but ihave tried deactivating it and still problem persists.

Hey A_C!

Hope your brain is recharged.:)

RE Lockups.

Actually, it just happened again this morning.

Only three times since I installed .190 so far.

I have SPB Backup reset my system every morning, so nothing was running when it locked up, but it has always happened while my XV6700 is in my holster. I will pull it out and the screen is on showing S2U with the time locked to the time the system locked up. The back of the phone will be very hot over the battery compartment. This morning it had sucked 20% of the battery in 45 minutes. It happens so rarely that I am having a hard time pinning it down to a specific cause.

These are the programs in my windows startup folder:

btdwake.lnk

ilock.lnk

poutlook.lnk

sddaemon.lnk

shutxp.lnk

smartskey.lnk

spbbackuprunner.lnk

I could try removing any that you would like for me to try.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hsula:
I solved my "phone turning off problem" with a little thread history searching,lol, so I just have 1 question "Is there any way to change the slide function on Smartphone to "UP" instead of "Right"?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] p2r:
Hello, is it possible to disable (automaticly) the S2U when you call. Because it's enable alone and when i want to close the call, i have to "slide" before and only after end call. On my french spv m650 (htc p3300).

Thank's for this great soft ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@keishou

Do you have AEButton installed?

@Marshall07

I thought you'll u/l the video later. As I cannot reproduce the case, could you provide more details about what you did before that error came out?

@AJerman

Thanks.

@khemu

No & No.

@Hsula

I think it's more logical to use "right" instead of "up" as the slider is moving from left to right.

@superflysocal

I'll try to fine to key press part in the next release. Thanks.

@CheezWiz

Do you what is "btdwake.lnk"? Besides, have you tried to enable "SafeMode"?

@p2r

Are u using v1.19? Actually, SLIDE should not come out when the phone is on talk or the phone app is active. Maybe it's a language related problem, I'll try to run it in a french emulator & see if there is any solution. Meanwhile you may try to disable the "IdleStart".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
A_C,

RE: btdwake.exe

I have been trying to figure that out for myself.

Everyone seems to believe it has something to do with BlueTooth..

I have not tried "SafeMode" yet. I am curious what that setting does?

I am going to try removing everything from my startup group first and see if it locks up again just to rule that out as a possible conflict. I will report back on what happens.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
I have a Mogul as well, but I don't really seem too have too much trouble. I can't say I've ever NOT been able to answer a phone call with S2U. Every so often I have to press it again, but I've never been sure if it really didn't read me or if I missed or hit too light. Typically the second time when I make sure I hit the right spot, it works fine. I'm not sure what you would have different than me to cause that.

Weather feature request

Hi A_C,

This app is great. Works great for my WM5 HTC Wizard! I was wondering if you could add the ability to use the weather feature with the program Weather To Go.

Or, is there a way to use the UserWeather string without having to edit the registry directly or with another program that I'm not thinking of?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keishou:
@A_C

No I don't... Do I need it to have all the keys locked except for the side power button?

Even after a fresh Hard Reset and just the Slide2Unlock cab loaded, it will do it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtb2104:
Hi A_C,

I love your work!

However I encountered this little problem...

Sometimes when the phone wakes up, the DATE displayed will turn to rubbish characters (more like boxes)...

I tried to edit the DATE format everytime that happens. And everytime after I changed, it turns back to normal again. But afterawhile, the problem occus another time. I am stucked in this cycle... -.-

I have a Touch with WWE ROM, and Monster Chinese to aid the viewing and typing of Chinese.

At first I thought it was because of my Regional Settings as it was in Chinese(Taiwan)... However, after I changed to English(United States), the above mentioned problem will still occur.

Any solution for this? Or am I the only one facing this problem?

Thanks in advance... Have a nice day ^_^
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alamat:

Maybe u have the cab for the older or original Contact Manager or r u using the PocketCM version?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtb2104:
You seem to have problems for displaying clear contact pictures?

It that is correct... try to change the format and size of the picture...

Since I've had this installed pretty much since day 1, I'm not sure if its this program, the Mogul, or Sprint, but everytime I get a call, the phone turns on, shows me the locked screen and waits a good 2-3 seconds before the ringer starts and then a split second later the ID. Kind of annoying when I see it light up, know I'm getting a call but can't answer or see who it is.

When is 1.20 coming out

A_C,

i just want to know if you can add the config setting with it and fix some of the bugs. Also if you can make the photos not take up all of the screen when someone is calling just make it in between the phone # and the pick up and hang up buttons. oh yeah if you can add if the number is mobile, home, work etc. and add the messaging like the calling just add the commands like relpy, dismiss, mark as read, etc.

thanks,

I've been using this latest version for a short while and am getting intermittent issues with my alarms not going off. I am using a product called Gentimer and have daily alarms set, however they just haven't been working when Slide is running so for the last week I have unloaded iLock and the alarms have worked flawlesly.

I understand there are many registry settings that affect how this product works. Could one of these be changed to resolve this issues?

I really don't want to stop using this app as it is the best thing since sliced bread!!!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Corky100:
Bit of an odd one..... works reat on my touch, but when starting the device it shows the setup from an older version (the old apple goldfish screen).

I haven't had this one installed for some time, and It won't go away, even though it isn't functional and you can't use it.

Once the phone has started properly the newer (Yellow Flower) version appears.

An yidea whats causing this?

Thank you so much A_C ...

Is there a way to change the size of te font, and the font itself on the unlock screen? If I had my druthers, I would want a smaller font, so it doesnt occpy as large a size on the screen as it does, is there a way to alter this?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zaber:
I tried 240*320 bmp photo

But it's still the same....low quality photo

Is it because WM6 will resize the contact photo to thumbnail size?

so when the fullscreen caller id activates, It just use the thumbnail to enlarge to fullscreen instead of using the original 240*320 photo?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
What some of us discovered (with a few others confirming this) is that you need to use Pocket CM (or Contact Manager which is the older version) to assign the picture. Either jpg or bmp file should be fine cos' I've used jpg file before and it works well for full screen caller ID.

Just that this feature is still not that stable and I've deactivated it for now. :)

Hi A_C,

Nice app. I come from Hong Kong, too!

I just found a bug:

- If I press "power-off" button while I am in the phone app of my Hermes, then the lock screen won't show the next time when I turn the device on. However, the lock screen shows if I turn off in other apps.

If this bug is fixed the app is really perfect!

@chris.wilcox

As Weather To Go only supports US cities, it'll not be added.

@keishou

What other software you have installed?

@mtb2104

Maybe try to reshuffle the loading sequence of "iLock" & Monster Chinese at your device's startup. You may need some third party tools to do that like SK Tools.

@Alamat, Zaber

In order to have a better photo quality of caller pic, it has to be saved in high res. PPC Outlook always scale down the pic to around 60 x 60 no matter how large your original pic is. As said with many fellows here, PocketCM can do the job. And I use Inesoft Address Book which allow user to save the pic with 3 quality level & let you crop the pic at your device... highly recommended.

That's on purpose that when the Phone app is active, SLIDE will not come out, as many users reported that SLIDE comes out during talking w/ the phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahlok_hk:
Actually I don't mind such behaviour. At max I have to slide once to enable the phone again. Most of the time I won't use the phone until the phone conversation ends.

I have an idea. How about making an option that during the phone app is opened, both slide action and "hang up" button can unlock the "slide 2 unlock"? That would make the hang up process easier. Just brain storm and see if it helps... :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jolas:
Hi A_C,

thank you for your wonderful application and for all the efforts you have done to provide us with those programs. I would like to ask you if it is possible to provide us with a "light" version of the slide2unlock (one with the very basics) due to the little ram we have in our ppc's.

Once again, thank you.
