hi A_C,

i have been testing your app patientlyon my ipaq hx2495 (WM5) after each release ever since you rewrote & relaunched it. however, even though my device runs on WM5, S2U just gives me a black screen when i launch it. the only way to get out of this semi-freeze is to map a program close app to a button or finger swipe app launcher and launch it to be able to return to the today screen. it's the same for all the rewritten S2U versions.

makes me wonder if your rewritten app is only meant to be run on a phone pda and will not work on a non-pda. is this really the case?

regards,

myownregister
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SterlingPPC:
OK, I am having a fairly serious issue. While the S2U seems to work fine if I enable it with the icon, if the phone is turned off, then turned back on, it not only flickers between the today screen and S2U (and wifi while it find the signal again), but is completely unusable. I will see the S2U screen, but all touches on the screen are read by the programs behind S2U. Meaning, I am trying to slide to unlock, and I am getting errors from Media player, as I am actually starting the program behind S2U, and I can't actually use the slide. Beyond that S2U goes away when the program is launched, then comes right back, and I am stuck in the middle. Can't use any programs, but can't unlock the phone.

Is anyone else having this issue? I am surprised so many are using it with no problem here... maybe I am jealous. :cool:

BTW, I tried disabling the "prompt for password after..." as well as the iLock2 update to no avail.

Any ideas?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SterlingPPC:
Tried to Edit my response, but it didn't save. I did a couple of soft resets and it indeed looks like it was the prompt for password issue. I will test further and let you know if there are any more icon issues.

Nice app!

Power usage

Any feedback on the power consumption of the app if it is left running? (I seem to have a drain on the battery with the app running)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
No, I didnt press the red button. The phone is just lying on the table..

It stays the same:

I get a call and I do not answert it, I just wait, til the caller gives up.

I wait till the phone goes asleep again.

I get a call again, now the phone only rings once and than the caller hears the busy sign and I cannot answer the call.

Turning off the pin option makes s2u on wake have focus! This is the bug/fix for the problem!

Thank you!

just one tiny request

make the signal bars a bit thinner
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LordDeath:
is this possible:

i map the app to a hardware button and it starts S2U2. while unlocking it, the app gets fully closed and when i click on that button again, it is started and visible.

i don't like the way, that is has to be loaded with iLock2 first and then started with S2U2. this should happen together and when i unlock the ppc, it should be unloaded from the ram.

i think this app starts very fast, so i don't want to hold it in the ram all the time. (i also don't use the callerId or the lock on wakeup feature)

edit: another thing that could be better: the slider doesn't have to be at the bottom of the screen. for a one handed unlocking i must use the thumb of the hand, which is holding the device. such a vertical gesture with the thumb is much easier at the top of the screen. with the slider at the bottom it is not that easy:

with the ppc in my right and and sliding with the right thumb to the right lower corner of the screen is not as ergonomical as with a higher placed scroll bar. the device could fall down if i am on the street and i have to hurry for example.

yes, that is not the real iphone style, but taking that idea and developing it further, is better than just rebuilding that interface - and in this case i think you already have developed it further :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scar45:
I am experiencing the same thing unfortunately. I had let my phone charge with the screen off, to 95%, then let it shut the backlight off after 1min, followed by powering off after 2 mins. I awoke my device about 20 mins later and it was at 67% which sucks.

I know that I had this issue with previous S2U2s, but with 0.6 I didn't seem to experience it. I LOVE the caller ID feature and it works worlds better than it did in S2U, but I can't help thinking that more power is being consumed while S2U2 is waiting to answer a call (also, since it's responsiveness is lightning quick).

I _will_ keep testing and logging my results however, and post any relevant points if i discover any.

Thanks again so much for this app and your continued efforts A_C, I am SO close to being perfectly happy with this app and will surely donate once it's good to go!

help with this

Hi AC and other Graphics persons!

I am trying to change the notification icons...

I am attaching what I want them to be..

I just can not get them to be transparent as the current ones are...

Can anyone help!?

Thanks!

Chris
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mooncraterx:
icons

From the look of the icons it looks like they work the same as claunch. Which means that its a .bmp file with 255,0,255 as the (pink) color for your transparency. So anything that is color 255,0,255 will be transparent in s2u.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sadhoo:
works good on my MDA. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Westronics:
Well, I do still have a bit of a problem with focus (as some others do). When an appointment reminder goes off, sometimes I end up not being able to click anything as the screen flickers back and forth between the Today screen and S2Us. Using my hardware button to "open" S2Us forces S2U2 to the foreground and i can proceed normally with closing S2U@ first.

Sometimes the reminder comes to the foreground and i can deal with it properly, sometimes not.

Having a properly mapped hardware button gives me an easy work-around for this annoying little problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scar45:
OK I'm not trying to be a thread spammer here, but I said I would report back with more info, and I'll tell you what I've found so far. Basically, after my device hit 67% charge, I did not plug it in to charge further. I wanted to see if it would keep draining. After receiving a call, speaking for about 30 seconds, then letting the phone shutdown LCD, then power off, I waited and waited, and the charge actually began to rise back up to 75% (where it is now, about 2.5 hours after my last post).

I know that some may be thinking that Windows or some other thing is reporting my battery status incorrectly, but I've changed nothing other than S2U2 in the meantime. Maybe there was a little glitch and my battery status went down but has since recovered, I'm not totally sure. Anyways, other than that it's really working quite kick-ass for me, as the Caller ID response time is now actually usable.

I'll keep playing around and posting more info as usual (hopefully it's not a waste!)

Endless thanks to you again A_C!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
I think there's a conflict between this s2u2 and spbtime:confused: the phone didn't manage to woke up using the spbtime alarm set. while s2u2 is running...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] VandyCWG:
I looked into that, but the orginial notice icon file is a .png file.

I used the same pink and just overwrote the file. Should I save the file as a .bmp? Or just wait for AC to chime in?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gobmonster:
pocket rar only installs from a host pc via active sync...

N-e ways, this is the app that just keeps getting better, i am so happy that call functions are being implemented :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mooncraterx:
images

if its a png file then save it as png. I'm pretty sure the pink color will be transparent. So you will need to either have a square image or fill in the space with color 255,0,255 in a paint program that you want transparent.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scar45:
Hey guys, this is for those of you who are making your new bitmaps to use with S2U2 and having problems with transparency. This is actually from A_C's first post in the v0.6 thread which states:

"(for transparent effect, the top left corner pixel must be the transparent color)"

Even though this is quite easy to understand, it basically means that whatever colour the top-left-most pixel is in your graphic, S2U2 will make that the transparency key. So, to get MagicPink (255,0,255) to be your transparent colour, just make sure that the 1,1 (x,y) pixel of your graphic is in fact 255,0,255. Keep in mind that software like Photoshop may apply Anti-Aliasing and this could turn some MagicPink colours into some...well, not so MagicPink colours, but close. Without getting into too much graphic program details, just make sure that your top-left pixel is whatever colour you want to be transparent.

I hope I didn't confuse anyone with my longer-than-needed post on this subject, but sometimes I tend to go on a bit of a finger-digression with my keyboard.

Anyways, hope this helps!

UPDATE on Treo 700WX issues:

1. If I have Caller ID enabled, it works well but I cannot answer using my wired headset.

2. If I do not enable Caller ID, I can answer using my headset but then the screen does the weird alternating focus thing between the Today screen and S2U2 that I can fix by activating S2U2 with my mapped-to-S2U2 hardware button.

Other than that all is good. I do have an occasional problem where S2U2 does not activate when it should, but I kind of write those off as anomalies as, among other things, it happens randomly and I cannot recreate it with any reliability whatsoever.

Just wanted to let you know that the bluetooth problem still exists for me with ver 0.60 also. I am experiencing a problem where the phone loses the bluetooth connection with my car intermittently when S2U2 is running. This problem goes away as soon as S2U2 is uninstalled. Is anyone else experiencing a problem like this? Are there any settings that I could try to help with this issue? I really love this program, but without bluetooth, I cannot use it.

Unknown caller

Thanks for the update, but as in Slide2Unlock, I have the Unknown caller issue. :(

Something I saw was that when a call comes in, the default ringtone plays with an unknown ID, a second later, the default ringtone stops and plays the personalized one, and the unknown label changes to the right text.

Now, what I think it's happening is that the call comes in, s2u2 gets the unknown string before this one updates.

I don't know if there's a way for s2u2 to wait a bit so it can pick up the caller ID string after is updated.

BTW, my device is the Hermes with the latest official ROM.

Great job!

Cheers. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xd1936:
It could possibly help if you gave the S2U2 and 'Phone' Processes a higher priority over others with a program like this:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sabestian:
Great app! Congratulations.

But... There must be some kind of screen alignment problem.

Using landscape mode screws everything up. When I turn the display into left handed portrait mode thing on the "Attachment1" happens (the stylus points at the point where you have to start sliding the bar - 1 cm up and left to where it should be - discovered accidentaly).

Then, after s2u and turning the screen to right handed portrait, if S2U2 is executed the screen is completely out of place and I have to soft reset.

If I turn the screen back to vertical from any of the portrait modes, "Attachment2" happens. The S2U2 screen is misplaced and it's nearly impossible to s2u.

I read everything (I think), I tried different wallpapers, or no wallpapers at all, I tried to realign the screen in both modes, I also tried with and without fTouchFlo. Nothing matters, it's still the same.

Keep up the good work!

Edit: Oh, it's on SPV m700 (Trinity) with WM5

New clock theme................

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

thank you for all your hard work, I asked you before about when we gonna be able to customize background, topbar and such and you told me to delete the topbar to have the transperent background clock, it didnt work, when I delete the topbar s2u2 stopped working.

I hope one day the whole s2u2 can be customized (skins) I made this in photoshop, my idea of how maybe HTC users would like s2u2 to look like. HTC now is in top market and everyone seems to like HTC interface more than Iphone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pctuner:
I think you'll just have to replace the topbar with a transparent image...

btw.. your theme is really cool... only if you could change the clock background to blue like the one in phone...

could you please share your background and clock resources?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] poorlyduck:
actually this is not the real theme, is a total photoshop design, I did not implemented to a theme yet, when i do i will share for sure.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ww2250:
External App Hanged when Hanging Up a Call

@A_C

I have done further testing and debugging and here's my findings. The setup is like this:

My configuration does NOT have BlankOnTalk enabled.

Only iLock is running - S2U2 never run.

I suspected it's AE Button Plus the culprit, so I give it up.

Instead I used the standard WM Button Setting Applet to call "VJButton -phone" to end the call or to close the current application.

The result is the same - it has the Red button stuck (as a matter of fact, any button assigned using the Button Applet).

And any subsequent pressing of the button in question would refuse to perform any further actions like closing the active task, etc.

When iLock is exited, the button would then function again, including ending a call as well as to closing active tasks.

It appears to me that:

iLock traps and hooks with the "end call" function of WM.

Any external application that calls "end call" function will be trapped inside that hooked "end call" function.

When iLock is exited, the function of the button in question restored due to the possible restoration of the "end call" function.

I can try to write a Mortscript instead of VJButton to do the job of VJButton, but I suspect the result would be the same.

Of course, the above is just my observation and black box blind-guess of how iLock works. I could be wrong.

But if it's true, then how about if you could just leave the red button (the "end call" function to be precise) alone when BlankOnTalk is off? I think this would be the fastest fix to the problem.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] roozbeh:
is this program updated program of Slide2Unlock?

becuase it seems so to me.

But this program only shows black screen after installation on my device(but seems working,as i scroll my thumb where the button must be and it exites fine),but slide2unlock worked fine.

any solution?

Hi all,

if I use that like in title, the device show me (all screen) the image of a contact out of focus. Someone has the same problem? Whic are the size of your the photo-contact?

Tnk's in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kreigz:
I can second this problem ...

Besides the focus issue, this seem much slower when a call comes in ...

I tried turning off the Caller ID, but it only marginally improved things.

Went back to .60 and answering calls is back to normal ... quite fast.

Obviously, I could not answer your questions one by one (almost a hundred posts in 30 hours!). Pls follow these:

- try the latest version (poorlyduck, u're the one hasn't)

@JueLue

Do you have "Password/Pin Lock" or "Owner Information" enabled?

@sabestian

I think it's a device specific problem, i.e. no solution.
