My Thoughts

200 pages of comments that is a lot. AC, you are the best. What is next for you? S2U3? I don't know what you could add, but I think that you could add more customization. I think it would be cool if you could customize the slider, size of slider, and stuff like that instantly. That would be cool.

Thanks A_C for your great programs.

I've been using v0.99p with animated gif for wallpaper for a few weeks now without any issues. It was consuming about 1.2-1.3mb of memory.

This weekend, I changed to a different animated gif and all of a sudden S2U2 is taking up 2.5mb of memory.

Why such a dramatic increase? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flashy:
Does anybody have S2u2 with TomTom installed and working? :confused:

I just wandered what happens if your running on batteries, you use TomTom and S2u2 locks over the top of TomTom. Or does it not?

I only ask because it locks over the top of the Camera, Warcraft and others.

I am very impressed with the application, and it looks superb, Not had one problem with it. Thanks! :cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] andrewilley:
Fantastic little app, really useful and looks fabulous. One minor feature request though...

When an incoming call arrives, the Red (End call) button and the right softkey are both enabled to allow you to reject the call (if using the S2A option). This means that even though the phone is 'locked', it's still possible to accidentally press either of these two buttons or the power button and cut the call off when retrieving your phone from its holster.

How about having a second slider on the screen when there's an incoming call, which could be located just above the first one. This would be coloured red rather than green and would slide in the opposite direction (i.e. right to left) in order to reject/hangup the call. This would still be very easy to use, but it'd make the lock much more secure against fumbling fingers.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SouthernLuke:
There is an exception list to where you can exclude s2u2 from locking over.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Felps:
I still got my Eten M700 with WM6 hanging up 3 to 5 seconds after I answer any call when the phone was for a while on standby mode.

Now I closed S2U2 and iLock, even the process with MemMaid... will try this for a while and see if the problem is solved. I really like S2U2, but now I have SPB Mobile Shell 2.0... their Now Screen is almost as good as S2U2, i will just miss the lock function. :(

Sorry the bad english... long time, no practice.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajbopp:
Hmm...I've read the first two posts several times, but I'm still confused.

I use PocketWeather and have that program configured in S2U2 settings. I have tried to understand what is necessary to include where in the registry, but precise details on this are not to be found. Exactly what string is necessary and at what location in the registry is not really explained. I tried a few different variations to no avail. I can't even be sure, given the descriptions provided in the first two posts, whether a registry change is even necessary when using PocketWeather.

In any case, I have not been successful at getting weather displayed on the S2U2 screen, but it would be pretty cool if I could get it to work.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spinedoc:
Yes I love it. The phone not waking up happens very rarely actually, with the previous version it happened all the time. So there is progress.

It's just that how it handles call waiting is not good.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MorKaiser:
Hey AC,

Is there anyway you could take the time to develop a fullscreen answer cab to run on it's own? The one in your s2u program IS much better than pocket contacts and other programs you have to pay for. I would gladly donate (and I'm sure others would) to have that cab released.

If not, it's totally fine, thanks anyway for everything you contribute. It's all A grade.

Thanks.

Locking your device using S2U2 is great, beautiful, ...

But believe me it lacks something, a Device Lock item on your Today Screen, which could be like the Microsoft Windows' standard one.

In the following link I have provided one plugin, built using .net cf which is a few memory eater :

In order fro the pictures to appear clear, you have to set them up using S2V, and not the original outlook contacts.

S2V is a great picture viewer as well. See attached zip install file.

Asus 696 WM6

Anybody successfully run S2U2 on Asus 696 WM6?

When I run it, the orientation is weird, it shows landscape in portrait mode and vise versa. Also the location of the touch screen and the dispay is not sync, say it shows icon in the middle of the screen and only response when I touch on the edge (or something like that)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaneelias:
I am running TomTom6 on my Tytn II with S2u2 .99p, i have no issues with S2U2 running over the top, in fact i never made an exception for it, i think Tomtom may have a rule that says when i am operating nothing else will. So in summary no issues and no exception required.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] formas:
I too would love if S2U2 was able to provide the lock overlay on top of my existing home screen.

What I basically want is to be able to lock the phone from doing anything, but be able to hit the power button to turn on the screen, read the time and my calendar, and turn the screen off again.

If I need to use the phone for something, then I can slide to unlock it.

PointUI provides this functionality, but the lock feature is for that UI.

90% of the time I just look at my phone to check an appointment or the time, and just want to keep it locked during that. But I want to be able to slide my finger on the screen to unlock.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Actually, the "CallerID" only function is already there by changing a few settings (through the S2U2 Settings.exe) as:

Turn OFF "Lock when device wakes up";

Turn OFF "Lock when backlight turns off" & "Power Off in" both under Battery and External Power

Turn ON "Safe Mode"

And choose your option of "Caller ID", then soft-reset.

Somehow I keep coming back to this app...

But quite some time now I have the same thing on my mind; it doesn't look crisp on a vga screen.

The fonts are, and vga backgrounds work just fine, but all of the graphics are just upscaled and real blocky.

Maybe you can release other gfx files to go with VGA screens?

Searched the thread for so far the search is working for me but I wasn't able to find this, just misalignments on vga screens.

Cool, I'll give that a try and see how she goes.

Should I have direct draw on or off? and what does that do?

Bug Report: w/ S2U2 on and Password/PIN enabled...

On the Sprint Touch, if S2U2 is enabled, and the Password/PIN is enabled, and go into Phone mode (either initiating or accepting a phone call) the Start menu freezes up. This stays this way until I turn the backlight off and S2U2 kicks in again. Afterwards everything works fine.

Has anyone else seen this?

Is there a fix? I'm evaluating Password/PIN programs that can work with S2U2, but haven't found one that fits the bill. Closest/cheapest one is Pocket Secure, but the TouchFlo overrides that. Any suggestions?

Help!

This may be the most complicated things that I've come accross on this site. I can't seem to even begin to get this program. I click on the links in the first post, and everything I download is a text file. I know that instructions were listed in the first and second post, but I don't understand most of it. Reading it is like reading another langauge.

I don't know anything about reg tweaks and hope this program does not require such that I would have to do. How do I get an install file to download this program? Can somebody please help

S2U2 not showing actual appointments?

Hi!

Something interessting happened to my S2U2:

Yesterday I got my next appointments right, showing my appointments for today as "Tomorrow:...". But after midnight it didn't switch the appointments to today.

Meening that I still found "Tomorrow:..." on my S2U2-screen. It just changed after I synched my appointments with ActiveSync.

Any ideas? Many thx!

Battery life!

Quick question!

Does S2U2 affect battery life at all if it is running while the phone is suspended etc?

Thanks guys!

Awesome product!

Im dontaing end month towards S2Play,S2US and S2View!!

A_C youre the master!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
There have been a lot of reports that it does, but quite honestly, I have not seen any difference in my battery usage at all, I am using the current version on a Treo 700WX, and it is working 100%!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] noreboy:
I'm still not understanding. I copied the files from the 1st post to my storage card, but from there I'm at a stand still. The files are not launchable files or install files that I can execute. When I click on them I get a message that's says that the files are not associated with an application and that I need to run an application first to run the file.

I wouldn't really consider myself a noob as I've already had tons of experience with installing countless applications on my phone as well as many ROM updates. Nevertheless, I feel like a retard for being the only one to not understand this app.

If someone could explain this to me like I was 2, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] noreboy:
By the way, I had the old verson of this program before and installing that was as simple as pie. Just installed the file on my storage card and from there I could execute the file and install the prog. With this new prog, there nothing for me to execute.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
The file from the first page is a zipped (rar) file containing the text, and CAB needed to install. Download this to your PC, and copy the CAB (after you extract (unzip) to your phone!! (the CAB will have the same icon as the original rar file you downloaded, but as long as it has the file extention .cab your good to go). That is the file you need to click on to install.

You can un-rar the file on your PPC if you have the app to do it, but I feel doing it from the PC is the easiest way.

I hope I helped and didn't confuse, but I think that is what is going wrong for you, your trying to install the download when the install is contained WITHIN the download!!!!

Good luck!!!

Actually, I think you did and I think that's my issue. I will try again when I get home. Thanks man!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Musicman247:
Didn't know if this had been answered yet, but here's the solution:

If you're comfortable with Registry editing you can disable the Cube from Opening with S2U2 open.

Go to HKLM>Software>HTC>Biotouch>Disable4SpecificApp

Create a New Key called "S2U2" then create a String called "ClassName" with a value of "S2U2".

It worked for me, but don't try opening the cube too many times with S2U2 open as it may crash your phone. It did that to me once, the first time I tried. I tried swiping up five or six times and then hit the power button to put the device back to sleep. When I pressed Power again, the screen came back as a colorful fuzzy mess. Soft reset made everything better, though, and it's been working fine since.

HI all

I have SPB weather and have customized S2U2 to display it but I have only "N/A" in the left on the screen

Is there something to do with registry ??????

very good application I like it :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I know it sounds silly, but do you have a weather display in your Weather Today display? I find that when I have N/S on my S2U2, I have to refresh the weather display in the Weather app! Also try a reset, sometimes it takes that to 'kick' it in.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brunoisa10:
I have already the spb weather on one of my today's screen and it works

I try a soft reset and I say you in 2 min ;)

Does anyone know if there is a command-line switch that will start S2U2 and instantly blank the screen? Currently my s2u2 is set to never suspend. i have a button to start s2u2 so my screen will lock and not interrupt my music player (like the power button will). I have it set to blank in 5 seconds but i would like it to instantly happen if possible. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Is there anyway to increase the font size for caller ID?

pretty pls
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brunoisa10:
I think the N/A in weather is due to a code from SPB weather not none in S2U2

Is it a way to see the code from SPB Weather to see if something is missing in the S2U2 icons ?

Ack, did it again. Turned on my phone and it rang once with a call that was received an hour ago.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] maestro123:
same troubles here, i also think s2u2 makes my sound go mute. I checked all sound settings, everywhere it is on, but i dont hear anything untill I reset the phone, or sometimes by locking/unlocking it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] steveo450:
Great app thanks.

1 question. is there a way to make s2u2 always be ontop? for example when the device is locked using s2u2 and a text message comes through the message preview comes up at the bottom of the screen and allows you to click reply etc which gets you into the device. is there a way to stop this so that the only way to read or reply to txt's etc is by unlocking first?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrbelvedere:
Turn off the message preview. That would be the simplest thing to do.

blank screen on talk only works with incoming calls on my sprint touch maybe 2 out of ten calls. Basically the screen shuts off for a second and turns back on at the dialer. I really would like to get to the bottom of this or find another way to blank my screen on incoming calls. I've seen other posts about this but no resolutions.

my set up

.99p , pocket plus , phone suite , quickmenu , htc task manager.

To the others having this issue are you using a similar setup?

iLock and S2U2 are Closed

I just installed 0.99p on my Tilt. When I start iLock I am getting the message "ilock2 and s2u2 are closed". S2U2 works fine when executed. This is the only change made to the device so far.

I'm really new to these WM devices so please be gentle.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
When you install, iLock is set to run on startup. you don't need to execute iLock manually unless you want to STOP the process, so it doesn't automatically lock the screen based on your settings. When you are running iLock, that message indicates that it is SHUTTING iLock down.

So, to invoke S2U2 normally, you just need to run S2U2.exe. The only time you need t oshut iLock down is if you do make a config change in the settings and want the new settings to be used.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stoutthedog:
ilock2 and s2u2 are closed

That's good to know. Can iLock be restarted without a device restart? When I manually lock the device with the WM device lock, should s2u2 start or do I need to start it manually each time?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ledridge:
Is it posible to have S2U2 automaticly unlock when docked or any usb power is applied?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nursemm05:
I deleted the first line for the date and for the time. use the above and overwrite the lang.ini file. Then when you go into settings you should have option 1 for each blank. If something does happen to show up as an option select option 1 anyway. Stop ilock then run s2u and your date and time should be gone.

Are there VGA icons available? (not wallpapers or clocks)

I can't seem to find any.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spinedoc:
Yes I have had this issue since the beginning. I've just given up on blank on screen. What happens is that the screen blanks when you hit talk, then when it actually connects the screen gets activated.

Simple solution that I have suggested before is to either

1) have a longer pause for the screen to shut off, maybe make the pause amount a changeable value in the settings screen.

or

2) Have it blank on connect, not blank on talk.

yes. in the gfx folder rename sttopbar, stvtopbar, topbar, vtopbar to filename_old. Where "filename" is the current name of the file. So it would be sttopbar_old, etc. I don't think anyone is sure *which* of those is the top and bottom bars but doing that eliminates it. If someone does in fact know which is which I'm sure they will post and let us know! I probably missed it somewhere. I say rename them vs delete them in case you want to add the bar back again.

This is ever-so slightly off-topic but I was wondering of the following:

A_C's apps generally have the same look and feel.

His top-bar for S2U2 and S2P are simple and really nice and was wondering if there's some way of changing main display to this style too?

I don't really wanna use things like Wisbar or SPB as I still say they hog up too much resources.

But it would be nice if A_C could do some kind of skin that keeps a consistent feel across the board.
