Why you need a hardreset after the installation?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
I am not sure what you mean? I open media player, start a play list and leave my phone alone. The light goes off and S2U activates. Eventually the display turns off but the music keeps playing. Just the behavior I want. What does yours do? Every other player I tried would stop playing when the display turned off.

Even with the display off and S2U running, I am able to pause, play and FFW via my Jabra BT headphones.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] korea206:
i current have a treo 700wx with sprint and when i have slide2unlock running for more then around an hour or so, it really slows down for some reason. like when slide 2 unlock function at first is fast but then it gets really laggy after an hour or so. any solution?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
how does a user turn off the task indicator on the S2U screen?

also, any ideas how to get the weather to display when it says 'N/A'. I've had this issue numerous times in the past but it usually goes away by itself after a while or after a soft-reset. this time, it's been displaying 'N/A' for the last few weeks, about 1 week after moving to 1.19. have since upgraded to 1.21 but same occurs.

also, with upgrading to newer versions - i am simply copying across the updated ilock and slide2unlock files across plus any image files for the GFX directory. how then does the device know of any new or updated registry keys?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
just uninstalled 1.20 and installed 1.21.

slide2answer does not work anymore. instead i get a caller id screen with the usual red and green buttons but also a button on top of it called answer+end call, the same button you see when there is a call waiting.

this shows up even with slide2answer=0 or =1
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@korea206

How many free RAM your device has?

@BlackBeauty

I just don't want to repeat this answer... pls read the readme files for details.

For the ShowWeather, which weather app you have installed?

If you're not an experienced user, pls use the CAB file to install instead.

@superflysocal

Could you try to soft-reset your device & see if it's still case?

And does your phone service subscription supports call waiting?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fobi:
hi A_C,

I m a french user of your apps. I just tested your new version, it doesn't function (for audio manager fix ). The french name of "Audio Manager" is "Gestionnaire audio".

Sorry for my bad english :(

Je suis un utilisateur francais de ton application. Je viens juste de tester la nouvelle version( pour le fix de audio manager). Le nom francais de "Audio Manager" est "Gestionnaire audio".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fasgiu:
Hi A_C,

I will try the 1.21 version as soon as possible to check if the battery issue is solved.

I have a suggestion too:

the program takes very much memory (5 MB); i think you shoul try to take less memoy (I have problems on my device due to few avaiable memory). A solutuion could be to make the program keep loading in background (CloseApp = 0) but make it to load the jpg every time after the program shows the "slide to unlock".

You could have to wait a second before having the backgroung shown but may be less memory usage.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] watchdog:
Great job A_C

I'll try 1.21
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Paulo Marques:
Hello there pjd,

I've got installed also in an Artemis, WM5, TT6, also running Iphone Key Pad, CManager, and I do have the icons showing on the right botton.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] randomelements:
A_C

Thanks for the latest update.

I was having an issue with the weather icons not updating correctly (using HTC Home) but so far things look a bit better
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cobalt78:
Very good work A_C

The 1.21 work fine for me !!

I use :

ShowWeather 5 from HTC Home Plugin

CallerID to 1

CloseApp to 0

My specific Wallpaper 36 Frames (Very nice :D )

ShowAppointment to 1

ShowTask to 0

Slide2Answer set to 0

...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kawing98:
Also the main problem is the "memory". Eat around 4MB ram to run the program and eat around 0.2MB while everytime start the side again.

It is perfectly to have solution to solve this out for the coming version.

Simon
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cobalt78:
On my Artemis S2U takes 6 Mo :o with my Animated Wallpaper (550 ko)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
A_C, s2u 1.21 seems working very well on my Mogul. Thanks. Great Job!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] randomelements:
Just noticed I'm getting the same thing.

Update:

uninstalled, and completely cleared out the registry and pfiles location

reinstalled and now working after ensuring that callerID set to 2 - callerID set to 1 caused a funny jump from one screen to another before coming up with the proper slide2answer
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
does slide2answer work for you? are you getting an extra button on our caller id screen for hang up & answer?

A_C,

i have soft reset and also uninstall and install. still same results.

other thing i notice..if i get a normal missed call (like they hang up or go to voicemail but not from me rejecting call), it goes back to my today screen not the lock screen... that's not intentional is it?

i will try again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hizad:
For call id full picture what should be size of the picture so it will cover the whole screen perfectly, by the way i using jasjar and when i enable full picture caller id the picture is so huge and only showing the person forehead!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
I tested s2a. It's working. I am not getting an extra button for hang up & answer. What I need to do is to slide and answer. No "reject" button as some people wanted.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
Little question,

This program is to lock the screen right?

but why would you use it?

because you can just press the on/off button ones.

only difference is that your screen is black.

so who uses it, and how and why?

because its not an extra protection with a password.

is this only useful for people who don't turn there screen off.

or am i missing the big picture?

because at the moment it looks to me like its just an extra thing to do to use your phone
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
I set closeApp=1.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
I use it for fun. The idea came from iphone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
For fullscreen caller ID, it's 240 x 320. So far, from our experience, you need to use PocketCM (previously known as Contact Manager) to assign the photo.

Please note that if you are in your 'Today', when you make a call, there will now be a dial screen with the Caller ID (i.e. if you have set S2U to reside in the RAM), with a long red end call button. If there's a call coming in, there will not be a S2A but the green and red button.

However, if you are in S2U (e.g. when your phone is off with S2U auto activated upon waking up) screen, when there's an incoming call, S2A will be activated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
A_C,

good news, figured out what i was doing wrong and now it works. after i installed the program i was lazy and was running the configuration program someone wrote a while back, except it was not for the updated version, so it must have done something to the registry. I decided to enter everything from scratch and now it is working greta so far. tested about 5 calls including private calls (although i never had a problem with private callers even in 1.20), also slide2answer works great now for me.

as for the user who asked why you would use this...it is a lock program so you don't accidently dial a number when you have the phone inyour pocket or holster. Functionally, i think it is one of the best program out there, not just looks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ken987:
A C

I did a clean install of your new version.

I'm with Sprint on a Treo 700wx and after carefully following your directions every time I get a call it comes up with Unknown.... no matter who calls me.

In your previous version I was getting the number and the picture of my contact.

I did this twice just to make sure I was no in error.

I just wanted to let you know in case it happens to anyone else.

Thanks again. I love your application very much.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
Check this out, anyone else getting this:

My registry is all default except:

CallerID=1

DateFormat=dddd', 'MMMM d', 'yyyy

ShowAppointment=1

ShowTask=1 (I think either this one Appointment is 1 by default, can't remember which)

ShowWeather=5

Slide2Answer=1

TimeFormat=h':'mm

And that's it, the rest is default. The call was from my work phone. The first time it came up fine with slide to answer, then the second time it did what the picture shows, so I set a timer for screenshot and tried again and it did the same again.

Edit: Whoops, just saw that other people reported this too. I reset my phone like A_C and it hasn't happened again though. Hopefully it won't do it again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gajet:
Just to clarify. If you switch off your phone using the power button and put it in your pocket, whenever you recieve a call, text, alarm reminder etc the screen wakes up in your pocket and is prone to false taps. This application puts an extra level of security which prevents false activations of today plug-ins, accidental dialling. Microsoft provide a screen locking function in Windows mobile, but the 2 seperate screen taps required to unlock are fiddly with fingers. Slide2Unlock is a much more intuitive method, and looks a hell of a lot better too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ken987:
Yes I got that too. I was not using my weather or appointments but I do get the option to answer and end call at the same time
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
Now its working =D

OK, Because unknown reasons the slide2answer feature didn't work when I was using s2u 1.20, so I had to go back to 1.19.

Now, with 1.21, everything works fine, I updated files from 1.19, and Slide2answer works :D.

The unknown caller issue seems to be fixed.

The power to reject works as well.

Thanks again A_C for the task request;)

Amazing app!

Right, it's kind of the Devicelock on today screen, BUT, It's way much cooler :D.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bekoeppel:
Hi,

thanks for this great application... I love it :)

Hmm but I've found one small (tiny^^) problem: (on Hermes)

I do as follows:

- Startup Hermes

- Switch display to landscape format (left side), but _without_ opening the keyboard (e.g. in start > settings > screen > orientation)

- Display shuts down

...

- I push the i/o-Button to re-start the display

- Slide2Unlock starts in landscape-format :)

- I wait 15 seconds (value from registry (<OffLCD>))

- Displays shuts down again

...

- I push again the i/o-Button to re-start the display

- Then, it happens: Slide2Unlock _doesn't_ start anymore, and the screen switches to "normal" mode (not the landscape one).

That'd be nice if the screen was still in landscape-mode and Slide2Unlock starts

:cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@Fobi

If the Window Title of the Audio Manager change from one language to another language, then I could not include every one. Could any other HTC user confirm that v1.21 works on your English device?

@ken987

Could you try to soft-reset your Treo & see it's still the case? Any other Treo users have the same result?

That screen change (from L to N) had triggered SLIDE to quit. That's no solution yet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aslher:
Please help me

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mistellisch:
love it even more but still callerID-problem

Hi A_C,

the cup of cappucino for you a few weeks ago really was worth it, S2U has become THE basic programm for my WM6-devices.

The versions before 1.21 already worked flawlessly except of the callerID-problem so I just left it deactivated and primarily used S2U as a devicelock-application. With 1.21 I got curious again whether your switch to TAPI has made any change to this callerID issue.

Unfortunately the problem still persists: when a person of my contactlist calls the first time after fresh softreset, I get the small picture (callerID=2) and the phonenumber, not the name however. The name will only be added if this person calls a second time. Strange behaviour I would say because obviously the number is linked to my contact already the first time, otherwise I wouldn't see the corresponding photo. Why is it not showing the contact's name then?

After a softreset (every morning) this issue starts from the beginning. Not knowing if your CallerIDKeyDelay-entry also adresses this issue under TAPI I tried it from 60 to 90.

Unfortunalely no success. :(

My settings are:

AutoStart 1

CallerID 2

CallerIDKeyDelay 90

IncomingText Eingehender Anruf

ShowAppointment 1

ShowTask 1

ShowWeather 5

Slide2Answer 1 (0 makes no difference to the addressed issue)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@Aslher

Pls reinstall it through the CAB file provided.

@Mistellisch

I noticed your finding as well. The reason behind is the first call need to initialise a connection with the contact database. This initialisation will make a little delay in timing for SLIDE to retrieve other contact info. I can add a little delay (by guess) to cater the first call, but it'll make later incoming calls feel sluggish. So I let it as it right now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] extraducksauce:
A_C your S2U application is absolutely unreal. have you thought making your own native phone app??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ken987:
Hi A_C

I once again did a clean install. Then configured the Treo and then did a soft reset. I then restarted the application.

It still comes up Unknown for all incoming calls :(

When I get home tonight I am going to try and do an advance install instead of the cab. I will go back to 1.20 and then open that Rar you posted.

Are there instructions in there on how to do that?

Ken
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
OK. Pls try this build & let me know does it work. (both Unknown & abnormal call waiting screen).

Pls follow these steps:

1. stop iLock

2. overwrite iLock with the extracted file

3. start iLock

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] matthew232:
hey AC, have you figured out why treos can't ignore calls yet when slide2answer is enabled? do you have any recommendations? thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bbf:
A_C, great program.

I've successfully converted all the BMP's in GFX\Res to PNG's then renamed to xxx.BMP and stuck them back into the directory and the program still runs properly.

Could you change the BMP's in the GFX store to PNG's? That would save alot of storage space on the larger bitmaps (not as much on the smaller ones.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mistellisch:
Thanks for your explanation! :) If the absolute first call after a softreset is the only one this applies to I can live with it, would be grateful however if there was a way to solve it. Can't this contact database-connection happen together with the first start of slide.exe so that the user wouldn't be affected and the connection would stand when the first call arrived? Or is an actual call obligatory for the first connection?

Unfortunately the new build makes no difference for me. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
As I said before, if you've failed to use "slide 2 answer", pls disable it. That's nothing I can do right now because the POWER BUTTON varies from device to device.

Could you post them here? I've tried that before but find the saving is not that much because most of the BMPs have been decreased to lower color depth.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
That connection is used by the system, not by SLIDE. So I cannot start it until the 1st call come in.

That build is for ken987's Treo case. You have the same problem as him?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mistellisch:
By "abnormal call waiting screen" I thought you addressed me with my described issue. Nope, I got only that single one. Apart from that the programm works flawlessly!:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bbf:
Okay, I've converted all the BMP's in the GFX directory into PNG's and stuffed them in the GFX_PNG.zip file.

The PNG's should be the same colour depth as the original BMP's. But the smaller ones don't show much decrease in size (some don't at all). :( However, the weather bitmaps benefit the most. :)

Noticable Battery Drain in v1.21

I am experiencing noticable battery drain on a Tmobile Wing with this version, though not as much/fast as v1.20. I had Version 1.17 installed for some time and did not seem to effect the battery much at all.

I had installed v1.21 at 8:00am and at 1:30pm its at 65% with less than 25 minutes worth of calls. I used this time frame because I remember installing v1.20 and by 1:30pm it was 30% with 35 minutes on the call log. Lots of variables that could cause the time difference but I now the later versions have been draining the battery. I keep reverting back to 1.17 to avoid battery drain.

I hope this helps in future development. Let me know if I can provide any more info or tests.

Thanks and happy weekend to all!

Hello,

I downloaded the file and followed your instructions.

My calls now display properly. But my power button doesn't work now. It did on your latest version.

Also, when a call comes in I still get the end call and answer button in a single button over the picture.

Sincerely,

Version 1.21 I have the same problem as in previous the version.

Battery in 6 - 8 h empty, RAM in 8h from 22mb to 4mb.

And I did not use the pocket PC yet times (no calls, not use mediaplayer, or something different one!

I use VPA Compact II.

Please Help Great App
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] VandyCWG:
Hi A-C!

Well, the Ken Treo Patch worked a lot better on my 700wx than the v 1.21

Still, with v 1.21 the S2A feature is not working at all.

Everything else is back to normal though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] matthew232:
Ken & Lawmangrant: does your red button work to ignore incoming calls? I have tried to find a solution but mine isn't working. Let me know...

Battery Level Drops Quickly

Hi,

I have a Cingular 8125/HTC Wizard running Windows Mobile 5.

Slide2Unlock versions 1.20 & 1.21 chew up my battery.

Version 1.90 worked fine, the battery level would act as usual.

With the latest versions my battery drops from 100% to 75% in just a couple of hours. That is not normal.

It seems to be the iLock piece that's doing it.

When I turned off iLock the battery draw was normal again.

I am assuming it is the way iLock is polling the battery for it's status.

I guess I will have to stick to version 1.90 and keep trying the new versions until they play nicely with my PDA.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@bbf

Thanks.

@fasgiu

I've answered your question many times... the high RAM usage is simply because SLIDE is written in PPL. It's an interpreter language.

@jcostanza4

v1.17 does not have any Caller ID functions. So it defintely will consume lesser power than the newer versions.

@ken987

Pls read your PM.

@srt10coupe

What other software you have installed?

@lawmangrant, @matthew232

Are you saying the "ignore button" won't work when the screen is "slide 2 answer"? That's by design.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] b.mann:
Thanks A_C for the newest update, still love this app, no matter how much RAM and battery it eats :p

Ok i have moved the file after unzipping it into my Program files folder on my Herald. I run the setup file and it goes to 19kb it sits there then finishes. I softreset phone (pin in hole). When i go back to the S2L file the same setup is there with everything else. I have tried a few different combinations and nothing.

I also ran the RUU to restore it and tried it with only Mobile 6 rom and same results. Any advice would be great. Thanks

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GeoffM:
A_C My Mogul Thanks you - as do I been using it since your first release without issue or complaint -

I recently have been trialing phoneAlarm (maybe this has been brought up before but 118 pages is a little much to search) it has it's own CallerID which resets any REG modification I do to Slide (Sprints Caller ID is "Incoming Call") on a soft reset, (Changes the text Value to "Phone - Incoming") I don't know the REG Key for phoneAlarms CallerID text but you may want to add it to the "Known Issues" in your readme.

Feature request - (Only because I have navigated to the REG so many times now - an option panel that interacts i.e (makes the nessecary edits) writes the need REG Entries

Thanks again for your DEV work (the Coffee's on me come payday)

Hey ! the site :

http://www.slide2unlock.co.nr/

don't work !! :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] corranq:
This has probably come up before but I figured I'd bring it up anyway: I've noticed that when left running rather than shutting down that it doesn't just take the 5MB to run only, it gradually increments until it's used almost all of the RAM unless I've soft reset throughout the day. Anyway, does anyone know a solution to this other than having Slide 2 Unlock start up again each time the screen dims, therefore evading whatever rogue process is draining the memory?
