Possible fix for Slide coming up multiple times...

Hello All!

I think I may have figured out what is causing the multiple slide problems... I don't know if this will help anyone else, but it appears to have worked on mine and that is a good thing! :)

First things first... The disclaimer...

BACK UP YOUR PHONE BEFORE TRYING THIS AT HOME!!!

I was reading some docs on the Notification Queue in WM systems and there is some kind of bug that keeps multiple notification events. This is why sometimes you get repeating alarms, no alarms, slow performance, etc... This sounded just like the problems I was having with S2U2 so I dug a little deeper...

I went looking for a program that would check this DB (Notification Queue) and see if I had dupes, unneeded events, etc... What I found blew me away... I had over 1100 duplicated iLock, iLock2 & Script:xxxxxxxx events! (and I wondered why it was slowing down! :D )

So... To fix this I went out and found 3 programs that are supposed to display/fix/help this... SKTools, MemMaid and Check Notifications (The first 2 are commercial, the last freeware... http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/product_detail.php?productname=checknotify )

I, of course, chose the Check Notifications... The price was right... It is said to be the most hazardous of the three though, so do a little research on your own before choosing to do this...

Anyway... The story goes like this... I started CN (Check Notifications). It said something to the effect that I had 1150 items, this could take a long time to load do you want to continue... Of course I did or I wouldn't have got it!

25-30 minutes later... (Wow! The warning was right!) it was done and loaded all the events. I had MANY extras... I went into the settings, picked all 3 of the options to clear events and tapped clear... Went from 1151 to 9 events in just under a minute...

Did a soft reset and looked again... Had 11 this time... One for iLock2 and another of the pesky Script:xxxxxxxx things.

Since then, my phone has been noticeably faster, all the alarms & other notifications work, as well as responding faster as well, and the Slide problem has gone away! I get one slide, when it is supposed to be there and it doesn't come back until it is supposed to! :D

BACK UP YOUR PHONE FIRST!!!

Sorry... Just had to throw that out one more time... From what I understand with all the reading I did, this process can mess things up and cause you to need a hard reset to get things back to working again. That and the Check Notifications is written for WM2003 makes this a risky cure if your having the problem. The other 2 programs, MemMaid and SKTools are both supposed to be safer, but I cannot vouch for that one...

Anyway... If you’re having this problem and have a little while to spend on it, give it a try and see what you can see...

A_C... I don't know if you can, should or whatever, but would it be possible for iLock2 to check for multiple instances of this iLock & iLock2 in the Notifications Queue & delete dupes? I have a feeling that it is not your program that is causing the trouble, but rather the OS, but it would be nice if it could do this... Don't know what causes it or if you actually can do this, but...

Good luck all!
