nice one. friend of yours? :rolleyes:

Use a registry editor like PHM RegEdit and edit the Time and Date Format in the registry, close S2U, restart S2U and give it another go.

A_C has confirmed that the programme can't be slimmed down. That's why he provided extra feature (caller ID, display of Appointment, etc) to compensate for the memory it takes. :)

Yes, am using it on my Trinity (WM6).

thanks black beauty! it worked.

now any idea on how to make caller id show up? once again i read the readme but still dont understand

A_C,

this is a nice apps, but I still have one question,

How to set the week in chinese(like 星期五)?

Thank you very much!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LlamaV3:
maybe a_c can team up with someone to rewrite it in c++. I seem to remember it being written in some kind of script instead of c. I find the 5MB footprint a bit excessive, and have to close slide2unlock before playing some of my memory intensive games.

[edit] yeah, just found the source code for the original slide.exe and it was written in pocket programming language (http://arianesoft.ca/) and this could be what is causing the big memory usage. Another possible reason is the loading of images, some of which may not be needed by the program at run time. I'm just saying that it could possibly be improved[/edit]

ShowWeather with Kaiser Home plugin

Is there anyway that the weather icon will work on the Slide2Unlock screen with the Kaiser weather on the Home plugin, or do I need to install Sbp/Pocketweather/WeatherPanel for it to show? Thanks! :)

I have a problem with S2U v 1.19. I have been running all previous versions without problem.

So I desinstalled the last version and installed 1.19. Now although it runs any changes I make to the registry are overwritten once the application is executed.

Can anyone offer advice,

Thanks,

Sam.

volume icon not updating

I wanted to say great piece of software!

I noticed that switching the volume on the phone from ON to vibrate. The Slide2lock screen reflects the change once it is made the first time.

But switching it back to ON from vibrate, the slide screen doesnt update the screen still shows vibrate. If I reselect the volume and turn it off and then back on and try the slid screen then it has updated.

I ran through it a numerous time with different combinations but found that the sound icon only changes from vibrate only if I select Off and then select ON.

Just thought you should know.

A_C

Got problem activating Caller ID when there's an 'Unknown number' incoming call. = (

Seems like S2U is a bit not that stable, cos' sometime Caller ID didn't work. Worse part is when a call come in, I can hear the ringing, but I can't see the Caller ID screen, I can't answer the call. :( Anyway, to be fair, this could be due to the fact that I have the S2U exit completely after I unlock my phone, instead of leaving it in the RAM.

Edit: I've disable Caller ID for now. Think I've missed too many calls already. Till everything is working perfectly fine, guess I will only be enjoying S2U basic feature. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fastmike:
Nice piece of code! Thanks!

However, I have 2 problems when running it on my HTC Touch (Elf):

-When I am on a call, Slide2Unlock is still activating by itself, which sometimes end the call or at least prevent access to the keyboard, ...etc...

-When active, the HTC Touch '3D' interface is still active, which means that even when 'locked' with Slide2Unlock, you can by mistake call the interface and activate any function... so the Touch is not really 'locked', only the buttons are.

Can you please help?

Many thanks

Phil

Hi Phil,

I completely agree with you about the Touch "Cube" unlocking problem but I didn't find a solution for that...

On the other hand, I never had problem during a call (like you) with my HTC Touch !

I use the last 1.19 version, my parameters are :

DpadON = 1

OffLCD = 30

Autostart = 1

IdleStart = 1

BlankScreen = 0

BlankOnTalk = 0

CloseApp = 0

I don't use "Show Appointement,Weather or CallerID"...

All information in "Remove Programs" has disappeared

I have spent the last three hours to run through the whole of this thread and it seems that my problem is quite unique.

I have installed S2U 1.19 on my O2 XDA Atom Life. I know, I know. I have read the readme file and I knew that the program had been reported to be incompatible with Atom Life. But it was so attractive that I just could not resist it. So, I did a backup with SPB Backup and then I went forward to get the app installed. Well, it did look good and about 60% of its functions worked. But the most fatal flaw was that I could not answer incoming calls. So I had to uninstall it.

I went to "Remove Programs" and found that all info was missing. I could not uninstall or install any program. I used SKTools and managed to uninstall S2U, with deep regret. I did a restoration with SPB Backup but still, "Remove Program" was empty. Tried soft reset several times, to no avail.

I wonder if anyone can help me.

And A_C, my fellow Hongkonger, I am really proud of you. I simply LOVE your application although it cannot work on my ppc. Keep up your effort. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] redice1:
I have just installed this app on my HTC Touch

Firstly its a super sweet app thumbs up A_C

Now, the device autolocks and i feel it autolocks too fast, how can i change the timing on this? Coz if i wait like 5 seconds while say typing an smsit locks...gets abit annoying.

other problem i noticed is that when i am on a call, the device locks and i cannot hangup until i slide to unlock...

Any suggestions guys

Thanks

Disappearing "Remove Programs" information

Did a hard reset and then did the restoration. Everything seems fine now. Just hope that S2U can support Atom Life.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dinoalbert:
Hi. really nice app!

Im a noob at this. The last version I used was 1.0....then the next time I knew theres v1.19 already! I wasnt able to try v1.17 and v1.18 :D

after reading the readme, my question now is about enabling Weather icon

it says "Y" is the weather icon's index no.

Im using Weather Panel....may I know how will i know what is the INDEX NO?

Also...will the weather icon also change automatically everytime I update Weather Panel and there is a change in the weather of the day?

thanks!!!

The device locks when your backlight dims, change your backlight timing in Settings to a higher value, and it will also change the time until it locks.

Multiple appointments question

Hi all, can someone please help answer a quick question? I have 3 upcoming appointments for tomorrow, but only one is showing up when I activate S2U (I have the latest version). Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
It only shows one, (unless there was a change I didn't catch) A_C mentioned near the begining of this project that only one appointment would be shown. (partly for space requirements if I remember correctly). I have seen a lot of people having problems having even one show, so you have a leg up on a lot of people here!! (I hope this explained it a bit)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
OK,

V 190 has been running fine for days, but twice today it has locked up my phone sucking the battery down to 40% in just over two hours. The first time, It locked at 11:33 AM and I discovered it at 12:50 PM. It had locked with the backlight off. The second time, it locked with the light on at 12:59 PM and I discovered it at 2:10 PM... Easy to tell since the time on the lock screen freezes..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orchids:
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response. I must have missed A_C's comment about the appointments. Thought I read everything. LOL

Any chance you can direct me to what page we discussed the quality of the caller id pic? I have mine set for full screen, and use the pictures I've taken with the camera phone as my contact, but it's really distorted...blurry to be exact. If this is "normal" I'll just set it to use the thumbnail instead.

Thanks again!

Another caller ID question

Please forgive my constant questions, but I have callerID set as 1 so that I can get the full incoming calls picture and so far it's worked perfectly, just a slight delay on when I actually receive the call (won't know who's calling until after the 2nd ring), but I can live with that.

My question is in regards to contacts that I do NOT have a photo attached to, that and "unknown callers". Whenever I have had someone who is on my contacts (but no photo attached) call me, the ID is not a full screen, but only takes up the top half (thumbnail version?). This also happens for unknown callers. Is this the norm? I was under the impression that if callerID is set as 1, for those contacts w/o a photo, I would get a full screen that contains their name & number....but I probably am wrong. Please help clarify things for me.

Appreciate the time.

Phone reboots when turning off the display.

I have a Samsung i730 running WM5 and S2U 1.19. On the left side, near the base of the phone, there is a spring loaded slider switch that is used to turn the phone display on and off. Occasionally, I will attempt to turn the display off this way, the phone reboots itself. I can't be certain, but it seems like this behavior started when I began using S2U. I have searched the forums and have not seen any other posts about this.

Any thoughts?

On the plus side, I have installed SuperDave's AutoStep program and this app seems much more responsive now, expecially when waking up from sleep mode.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magpie2000k:
I think I am losing my mind.

I have read and read but cant work out what to do to make the phone when a call comes in stay on the lock page.

My device disables the lock and gives the same old incoming call info and device is now unlocked.

The problem is that this will mean I will make calls when phone is in my pocket if i dont answer the call and relock it.

Please help guys and yes I have read the readme file but not getting anywhere

Thank you in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] schwalbach:
Sorry I cannot search this thread for "WM6" because I assume it isn't enough letters.

Can someone please give me some help on how to make this work on my WM6 device? I have looked at all the .CAB's and they are all WM5 cabs according to name. I installed one and got an error when trying to open it so I assume it is indeed for WM5.

Any help on getting it to work with WM6
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alkhal:
If I ignore a call it locks automatically? I believe it gives you about two seconds before it locks again. What device do you have? I use it on my 8525.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alkhal:
Should work for WM6? It works no prob on my 8525. Where are you installing it? Which cab are you installing? Maybe you should re-download the cab maybe that might help?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
No differences, I ran the latest .CAB file directly on my device which is running WM6. Try again....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rockmanneo:
I would love to see that on my phone :) . But how do you store it to the storage card? Since the bmp would be placed in RES folder, should I move that folder or the whole GFX folder to storage card? Any changes should be made on the registry?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] schwalbach:
Just was installing it to the device, not extended rom or storage card.

Am getting an error when I try to start it, but I am going to re-download and see if it works as I didn't look far into problem solving as I was just trying to fiugre out if it even worked for WM6
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] schwalbach:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mploetner:
sorry you always talking about a reame file. But were can I find it? :cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
I was wondering, has anyone suggested not unlocking when a call comes through? Perhaps the background changes and the number shows like normal, but it stays locked? I suggest this because the whole point in a slide to unlock is to make it harder to accidentally press buttons, but I find that if I get a call, I have to be very careful pulling my phone out of my pocket so I don't answer or hang up before I even know who it is. Perhaps this could be added and made an option?

Also, on the bug side, is it just me or do names frequently not pull up? I find that a lot of times when someone calls, it just shows their number. Do I need to format my phone numbers a certain way so that they are recognized by S2U? Better yet, if that's the case then maybe S2U can be made more compatible with different number styles?

Those are just my two suggestions, if I could get those two, the program would be perfect for me.

Thanks

Help with slide 2 unlock v1.19

Will someone please help me. I have been trying hard to get this version to work with no sucess. It keeps giving me an error saying that there was an error loading image/ProgramFiles\Slide2Unlock\GFX\Res\wallpaper.bmp.

I have tried downloading from multiple sites getting the same errors. I was able to run the previous version. Can someone please help me! Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delude:
You need a registry editor and need to go where the Slie2Unlock files are located, and change the extension 'bmp' to 'jpg' on the wallpaper file.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
Verry verry good suggestion!!

I think the most important use of the tool is to prevent from accidently pressing unwanted buttons. Exactly that is possible when there is an incomming call and the device is in your pocket.

I would be very glad having the possibility to leave the device locked on incoming calls.

Just switch on the screen and show the incomming number.

Perhaps it would be possible to change the slider from "slide to unlock" to "slide to answer" when there is an incomming call and to hang up by using the power button.

This is just a last step to perfection, as i like the program very much and the newest versino 1.19 works perfect whith my Vario

II, even the problems with the alarm are solved. :)

JueLue
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
First of all, A_C thank you so much for such tremedous job, It's incredible how at first the app was designed to emulate the unlock feature of the icr... sorry phone :P, and now is way more advanced than that.

The last version (1.19) is the most stable I tried, It sometimes freeze my ppc (ATT 8525) though, but I keep using cause I love it. :p

Sometimes I get the unknown message when known callers call me, It usually is the first call after turning on the ppc.

The full screen caller ID picture shows with very poor quality, so I'm using the small one on the top. :)

Although it's been talked about this before, It would be a good idea to make a little app to shut down the ppc, you know same way with the slider, it doesn't have to be when pressing the power button, but an app, so we can put it on the today screen. (just a thought)

Nice one, Slide to answer, I like the idea. :D

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
Exactly, maybe that can be a feature in the next version. Other than that I can't think of any features I need really.

Maybe since that would be a bigger feature that people would want to turn on or off, it might be time to create some actual settings pages. It's not hard to change the registry, but it does get a little tiring if you uninstall the old version and reinstall the new and want to customize it every time.
