Im no code jockey... so bug reporting isnt my strong suit.

I use an ATT 8525 running WM5

When i use v1.74 when the phone goes into powersave mode, the phone doesnt work. No incoming calls. Everything goes straight to voicemail. No ring, no nothing.

Uninstall and everything comes back and works fine.

clues?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nikjensie:
I have the same problem, using WM6 and a Wizard.

It's unfortunate cause even so, A_C has the most awesome program for PPC... so I can't uninstall it, I'll stick with the frequent restarts :)

Great Work A_C!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@peu

What's the version of your WeatherPanel?

@tizzi

Your question has been asked for many times, pls try to find it in this thread or the v1.17 thread.

@corranq & @nikjensie

Yes, I notice the latest version has some memory leak problem when WP or PW is enabled. That could be fixed in the near future.

@densmore

Maybe your device is out of memory. SLIDE takes about 5M when running.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] videobelu:
Good job.......a question....there is no compatibility with Fizz Weather???

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] corranq:
( A_C ) Woohoo! You rock! Wasn't sure there'd be anymore updates from you :-)

Though I must admit that like Nik, I would've lived with it as is anyway... just will be cool if the leak is fixed though :-) Let me know if there's any way I can help!

my slider lags!!! i mean wen i turn it on(frm sleep mode) it doesnt slide back wen i release..usin wm5 on a xda atom life (624mhz)..:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mike3343:
This slider app is some very nice work. Any chance of adding a message preview feature like the iPhone has? When you get a message you can preview it on the slider screen, sort of like this picture:

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2007/07/iphone-review-ipod-sms-popup.jpg

I am willing to help out with coding and/or testing. I am loving this app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NxJay:
Ooh, seconded. I'd love to see some sort of integration between the messaging app & slide2unlock. My custom Rom displays SMSs onscreen as they're recieved but the interface is so ugly. Plus i have to minimise slide2unlock to read them.

Any chance you could post the source code up so others could continue your fine work A_C?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@videobelu

I think it's already covered the most common weather apps, that's pretty enough.

@corranq

Thanks.

@irresistible_brat

That's a device specific problem, no solution yet.

@mike3343

That's nice looking but not necessary. Besides, is it a SMS pop-up? If yes, then that's difficult for PPL to handle.

@NxJay

In my case, when SMS arrive, a small notification will come out even SLIDE is running...

Besides, it's still under some developments... but really slow...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chymnon:
Can u creat new version for WM2003, I can't see the icon unread SMS on Screen >_<
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
No, as I do not have WM2003 device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] steadi:
Hey that looks neat! Does that mean there is still a possibility of more versions becoming available somehwere? How would we know?

I'd love the idea of having a picture contact come up when someone calls you. Would it be possible to have the picture be fullscreen or as the background? As far as I know, the only app that does this is Phonecontact but personally I think their implementation looks very ugly and takes up a lot of resources. I really just want a full screen picture, I don't need another contact/ringtone manager that just takes up space. If Slide2unlock could do this, that'd be awesome.

Also, have you thought about random wallpapers? Maybe something that just randomizes a bunch of JPGs in the program directory whenever the lock starts up.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] famewolf:
Stopped using program

Well...as much as I like the slide to unlock I had to stop using it...I found over time it ate more and more memory and was not exiting when it should...I would turn the phone on...unlock it and use the mda for a few minutes...pull up the task manager and slide.exe is still holding 2500k...try to close it...it could not be closed normally and had to be hard killed to free up the memory. 2500k is to much memory to sacrifice for a frill and A_C isn't doing any additional development so time for me to move on and find another device lock.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mike3343:
Not a popup, just a preview of part of the sms message put on the slider screen. It could show (when the sms notification appears) on the screen in the same manor that the appointments do.

Just an idea...

Hi,

I use PhoneAlarm as well but I don't recall having Caller ID feature. Can share more info on this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ric'O:
Thanks

Many thanks A_C for your release, works great and I love it, specialy with some clown fishes on my Artémis.

By the way, as i am a french using Aje_fr 1,5, the value for the registry setting if u want the CallId to work is "Appel entrant", just follow the post #1 and it's work great.

Fantastic job

Glitch Maybe????

Ok does anyone else have this issue with Slide2Unlock. It works perfect but say I shut my phone off (standby) and then I wake it back up, the slide2lock is running but if I switch my phone into landscape mode by sliding it up to reveal the keyboard, it closes slide2lock and goes straight to my today screen. Is there a way to make sure it keeps running no matter what? Thanks in advance.

(V)eGa
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] srt10coupe:
if i close iLock.exe and Slide.exe the ram level and Battery Level are okay.

Version 1.19 works fine!

The problem was in 1.20 and 1.21

I installed no new software since version 1.19.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pen6uin:
mine does this but then flicks back to slide2unlock after a couple of seconds .but hey the app is running perfect for me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dlindman:
I agree...1.19 shows no significant battery drain. With 1.20 and 1.21, my battery will drop from 92% to 35% in under 2 hours. I've run 1.19 for an entire day with normal useage and the battery drops from 96% to 82% when I plug the unit in at night.

I have a Wizard device running WM5. I tried both 1.20 and 1.21 with and without caller ID as I thought that may be an issue. However, I get the same results whether caller ID is active or not. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I do know that the only thing I've added since starting this test is the new slide2unlock.

Just thought I'd put in my two cents...and wait and see if a newer version fixes this battery draining.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrismrulz:
not working on the WM6 rom for the hx4700 :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] barakafritt:
Feedback on 1.21

Hi,

since 1.20, horrible battery drain for me too. I had to stop running slide2unlock ; such a shame.

And more than this, terrible news for me since I installed 1.21. At startup, my phone gets connected to the GSM network of my operator, but i cannot dial any number (the number seems to be dialed but never rings). And my GPRS/EDGE network connexion will never connect, which makes impossible for me to get mails. I tried restarting several times the device, same problem. The only way to make it work is to disable ilock at startup, wait for the network to be ok at boot time and then, after a few seconds, start ilock.

I tried with several options (with and without callerid), did a fresh reinstall but... this issue remains if ilock is started too early during the boot process.

My config : HTC Wizard / Qtek9100 with WM5 - spbweather, resco today plugin

[EDIT] Anybody got the link back to 1.19 ?

ignore button not working

Hi A_C

first up, thanks for all your hard work on this program - i'm echoing some of the earlier semtiments by saying that its one of my favourite programs for my o2 exec

I think i may be able to clarify lawmangrants comment about the ignore button not working as i'm having the same problems

When i have slide to answer turned off, the green answer button works but when i try to reject the call using the red button, the screen turns white and the phone is locked and the person making the call continues to hear ring rather than hearing the busy signal. It is only after the person making the call hangs up does the white screen on my device dissapear allowing me to regain functionality of the phone

I then set slide to answer on and the same thing happens when i try to ignore the call by hitting the power button i.e my device stops ringing, white screen shows up and device is frozen.......person on the other end continues to hear ringing.....phone regains funcationality once other person stops ringing

thanks in advance for your help
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] matthew232:
@lawmangrant, @matthew232

Are you saying the "ignore button" won't work when the screen is "slide 2 answer"? That's by design.[/QUOTE]

Hey AC, when slide2anser is enabled, there is no way to ignore the call if you don't want to answer...i keep my phone on vibrate. it was my understanding that pushing the red power button on most phones using the program would ignore the call and stop the phone from vibrating...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keishou:
On my 6800, I can ignore via the power button (on the side) not the End key.

Only issue I'm concerned with v1.21 is with DialedID enabled, when trying to make a call, it'll show the Dialed ID screen for a split second then revert back the the dialpad screen. Is there a fix for that?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] djmvt:
still problems

Hi A_C

I've been testing version 1.21 but still experiencing lots of problems that I did not have in 1.19:

Program works but only till the first time my phone turns of by itself (going stand by).

After that slide2unlock won't come up again and when it does come up (sometimes) my screen doesn't react to slide2unlock but to the todayscreen, like if there is only the slide2unlock image but in fact my phone should show the todayscreen. Hope you understand what I'm saying because it's a bit hard to explain when you don't see what happens...

Went back to 1.19 and no problems...

I am using a htc wizard with wm6.

regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mr Groch:
1.21 still doesn't work in WM6 VGA in landscape - no error occurs, but

program doesn't start (screen just blinks few times)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
What should the original picture size be for full screen Caller id?

I use the 8125... What size should i scale my contact pic to so that when i use the full screen caller id feature that the pic doesn't look all distorted. I am not using any other contact manager but the standard wm app and would like not to change it unless i have too.

Thanks.....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fastest1:
I am curious about using this app but I do have a few questions. I have read til I see double and fall asleep at the computer. I have a mogul and mostly everyone seems to like it. Does slide2unlock work with bluetooth? You also state there is no speaker or mute buttons on the screen, does this mean you cant use speakerphone with this? I have downloaded this to my pc but not my phone, when I unzip it I dont see anything referred to as Ilock. I have read thruogh the steps but nothing seems to work as easy as explained:eek: Do I have to make registry changes? or is that taken care of with the cab file? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
As a follow up, I had the unknown caller all day, with 1.19 usually the first call used to be the unknown one, yesterday everything seemed fine, kind of weird, the customized ringtone played but there was no picture nor id.

Battery Problem

Same Problem on Artemis. My battery drops 90% in 10hours. No calls, no sms. :-(

Hope it get fixed in next version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi

I have used BT with S2U.. while the call went through, I experienced a bit of a problem after that. Not sure whether it's due to S2U + BT.. anyway, will keep a look up.

You should have download a rar file. Inside it is a cab file, which is an installer file to be copied to your PPC. On your PPC, go to File Explorer and then click on the S2U.cab and it will auto install all the necessary files, including S2U, iLock and all picture files. :) Pretty simple.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
If you are using a QVGA PPC, the picture should be in 240 x 320. So far, most people are unable to assign the picture to a contact using the default Contact, and have it appear perfectly well on S2U Caller ID. Most of us have to use PocketCM (previously known as Contact Manager) to assign the picture. This is also a freeware (if you want, can donate). :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
For me, the DialerID will appear until the call is connected.. then it will switched to default caller screen (dialpad), where you will be able to select 'Speaker' or end call or keypad etc.

Oh yes, someone commented that he can turn off the ringing by pressing 'OK' button too.. Not sure, haven't tried it. :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrismrulz:
yer same.

with the original v1.0 slide.exe i get these runtime errors:

1/03/05 08:00:36 PM : ** runtime error ** (SLIDE.EXE) (_INIT(9,0)) Integer divide by 0 at 0x3fb09f8 (0,0)

1/03/05 08:00:46 PM : ** runtime error ** (SLIDE.EXE) (WINMAIN) Access violation at 0xf6724 (0,0)

with your v1.2.1 it just starts to draw the gapi stuff, like it flashes black bars around the edges of the screen, but then exits.

i'm using a hx4700 iPAQ (VGA) with WM6.

A_C could you please send me the sourcecode of your latest version?

i have the PPL 1.30 Beta setup and working.

hoping that i'll be able to compile it under that (was able to with the v1.0),

as it seems to have WM6 support.

if not i'd try and debug the problem myself.

dieing to start using this on my ipaq...

v1.211 Hot Fix

If after the installation of v1.21, all the incoming calls are identified as "unknown", pls get this hot fix of iLock.exe (attached at the end of the 1st post).

@Fastest1

Could you do a little test?

- go to \windows\startup, there is a shortcut named iLock

- rename it to zlock

- soft-reset your device & see if the problem still exist

@chrismrulz

I prefer to wait for the official launch of v1.30.

For others, if there is still abnormal behaviour, pls

1. make sure you have updated all files with the latest version, or installed the latest CAB

2. soft-reset your device

This will safe much your & my time. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fastest1:
It seems like I got farther than before I must be missing something. Under startup I renamed Ilock to zlock and did a soft reset. Nothing seems to have changed regarding operation or appearance of my screen. If I click on zlock it say Ilock and Slide are closed. Doesnt seem to be an option to open them, yet!:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fastest1:
Sorry I think I just opened it. I am sure I will be back soon. But the screen does seem to resemble everyone else' at the moment.:D WooHoo
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
A_C,

after much testing, i think this is the most stable versionfor me yet. The few issues I have are:

On a call waiting call, the end call+answer doesn't work as advertised; it basically just hangs up the call but doesn't answer the second call. I have to wait for the second call to ring and then i can answer.

Every once in a long while, when i press the power button, screen turns off as should, but when i press it again to turn it on, it oes back to Today screen and notS2U. If i run iLock, it will say that iLock is closing (which means it was running before). If I run iLock again, everything is fine again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Medic1013:
same bug as superflysocal

I'm getting this same issue but wouldn't say every once in a long while. This is happening more like everyday if not every other day for me. I'm using this version on a ppc 6800(Mogul).

Other than that I would say this is the smoothest running version up to date for me. Great program A_C!!! Thank You's are not enough for this program, it truly rocks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrismrulz:
just wanting to see if it's atleast able to work on my iPAQ with the new runtimes.

is there a reason you don't upload the source anymore?

you posted v1.03 on the ppl forums but i haven't seen anything else.

i really wanna work on this and i've modified the original v1.0 launcher.exe and slide.exe so that i can set the default operator name from 'Unknown', and fixing the signal strength so it doesn't flash on and off.

as i only have a CF phone and i'm running WM6 classic, so it doesn't detect any of that.

was wanting to make those changes to your latest version, aswell as making it compatible with my hx4700 running WM6..

somehow..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
A_C does that patch also fix the memory leak?

Since moving from 1.19 to 1.21 I have also experienced rapid battery drain. I have a Dopod D810 running WM6.

Hi,

i have a small problem with this program,i have written a sms program that only shows a special notification instead of original one,but when it showns the notification,suddenly the lock screen brings up.

I also saw this with some other applications!

is this bug known or...?

i think after using fmodce for playing sound files i get this behaviour!

could you make pocket player be recognized too please, thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ixtana_ran:
Hello A_C Using 1.21, will upgrade after posting this, the weather icons when using HTC Home do not seem to match up? i.e. moon and clouds on today plug-in and sunshine and clouds on S2U. Is there anything I can do to alter or is it down to you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
Hey,

so i installed the latest .cab....

but i noteced that it gets active after not using the phone for a view seconds.

Buttt... a view seconds later the screen turns off, and when i then pres the on off button on top of the phone to activate the screen again, it shows ilock for 1 sec and then jumps to the today screen..

why does it disapear?

why does it not stay in the screen when i turn the screen on untill i slide it to unlock?

is there somewere i need to go to do some settings or ??? what am i doing wrong?

p.s. using the htc touch

Edit. i also noticed that when i get a call.. i het the normal call screen.. not the one i saw on the first post on this threat

Edit 2 is it posible to get the slide bar higher.. for me on the htc touch its not a very natural movement when its so low
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@superflysocal

1. Do you still have the CallerIDKeyDelay key? What's the value?

2. Pls try to provide more info on what you've done bet'n that "long while", otherwise it's hard to find the solution.

@Medic1013

Pls read the point 2 above.

@BlackBeauty

No. Still don't know the cause as my device has no such symptom.

@roozbeh

You may try to disable the "IdleStart".

@tomazez

Do you know the Window Text of "Pocket Player"? I need the exact phase pls.

@anheuer

Have you try to soft-reset your device? What're the settings?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
If you mean.. hold the on off button on top till it shuts down.. and then turn it on again,

Yeah.. i did...

and what settings doe you mean? where can i adjust the settings?

p.s. thanks for the quick reply
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] efrost:
Hello!

First of all I want to say that you've done a great work and I really like Slide2Unlock with SlideToAnswer feature!

Unfortunately, I had to remove Slide2Unlock 1.21...

Do you remember "mail accounts and passwords disappearing" problem we many times discussed at this forum? So, I got this problem after I installed Slide2Unlock 1.21 and problem disappeared after I removed Slide2Unlock 1.21.

I tried it 3 times on 2 different ROMS for Trinity and everytime the same result: initially problem doesn't exist, install slide2unlock: problem exists, uninstall: problem doesn't exist.

I am not sure why it is happening, but I'll investigate a bit when I'll have time for it.

Thanks a lot!

Oh, come on. Why are you bothering him with such basic questions? I don't wanna sound arrogant but reading the first post on the first page can't be too much for you. There is always an updated version of the readme.txt at the bottom of the first post. You'll find all the background to the settings you can adjust there.

What else can A_C do that you try to find out for yourself first until you bother him?

I mean, we all just don't want him getting annoyed of rather silly questions and stopping his development as other gifted developers did because of that, do we?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Medic1013:
I don't have the CallerIDKeyDelay in my registry.

This happens out of the blue with nothing specific that I can notice. I can simply turn off the screen and when I go to use the phone again later on, pressing the power button takes me to the today screen and not the s2u screen. I can then goto ilock and once I press it, it shows me the message that ilock and slide are closed. All that I need to do is close ilock and restart it and its working again until the next time it does this. I want to say that since I installed v1.21 the day of the release, this has happened about 5 times.

I'm using a ppc 6800(Mogul) if that helps any and I hope I've helped describing the situation.

edit: One more thing that I remembered but might be irrelevent though. That same day of installing v1.21 I also installed oxios memory. I deleted oxios yesterday so lets see if this problem happens again.

GPRS/EDGE question...

Hi A_C,

First of all, thanks again for this wonderful piece of work : easy to install, well documented but must of all totally tweakable and REALLY usefull !!!

My today's concern is that I've set BlankOnTalk but with this option set, each time my Trinity starts an GPRS/EDGE session, my screen goes blank.

Is there a way to distinguish between Data and Voice calls in order to blank only while Voice calls ?
