Hi!

What I'd really need is a locking program that locks the phone when it's switched off (or when it switches off by itself) - ok all locking programs do that - but here's the catch: when I switch on the phone with the power button, then the phone should automatically be unlocked! If it turns on by itself due to some event or phone call, it should stay locked until I manually unlock it.

Why is this behavior desired? Because I really believe that's the only reasonable way to handle it. When the phone rings in my pocket, I need it to stay locked not to press anything accidentally or while taking it out. But when I deliberately switch the phone on (the Touch HD can hardly be switched on by accident with the tiny power button), I do always want to use it right away, so there's no need for it to be locked.

Is this possible with this application? If not, does anybody know a program that handles it this way? Should really be easy to implement, because there must be a way to find out the reason why the phone wakes up.

Thanks!

PS: Excuse me if this question was already answered in this thread, but I currently don't have the time to read all 80 pages...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ransa:
Hey Mate,

much thanks for this.

Can you add an "auto unlock when in ac power" feature and "auto lock when back on battery power"?

It will be great because when using the phone with a car charger it much more comfortable when the phone unlock and then lock when you leave the car...

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hi all,

I have been away for sometime, i will need some more time to catch up with your comments ..

@MHoefler

am working on it, will let you know if can be done

@Ransa

this looks easier so i will add in the next release (by this weekend)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] izzyzc:
First of all, thanks for this very nice program!

Question: How do I specify Core Player in the ignore list? I put player.exe in the DO NOT LOCK IF RUNNING field, but it still locks while using Core Player... Any advice?

BTW, I have also unchecked LOCK AFTER AWAKE coz it was stated that the ignore list won't be processed if LOCK AFTER AWAKE was activated...

TIA!

EDIT:

Issue fixed! A semicolon (;) was required even though only one app was to be ignored... :D Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] camro:
yes, this would be fine (i also told this before ..)

and one big idea, i would like to use the loudness buttons in locked mode, but this doesn'twork

and i can't record this buttuns, it does only record this as e5~

(normally should be 72 and 73 - but also doesn't work.

otherwise: one of the best tools !!! great job -cu camel

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Still trying to understand what it happening with this one, Camro.

I added the option as you also mentioned, i think now i found a way to do it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
I will try to install 6.5 in a few days and see what happens.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggylive:
WOW!!! I don't visit often, and havn't kept on your progress with this app, but it looks like your doing great!!

those newest options (esp #1) will likely make this my preferred lock app. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Markinus:
Great Software!

But I'm missing a option for my Diamond2.

I've lock fully the device. When a call is comming a can take the call with the slider on the touchscreen. But after I take the call I can't hang up the call because the touchscreen and the buttons are locked. I've to unlock the device first.

Can you integrate a fuction to unlock the device if I take a call?

So I could hang up with the red button or touchscreen.

After the call the device could by locked.

Thx!

Markinus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggylive:
hmm, I can't seem to get it to work. i'm on cdma touchpro with 6.1 rom, but it is based on sys ver 21046 which is 6.5 'compatable'

i'll try a true rom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ItsDon:
Is there an option to turn off the screen while a call is in progress and then turn it back on when the call ends?

So many options! I've been using 6.09 for a few months and this program ROCKS! Thank you for putting this out.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tatou:
Tried on HD. Didn't work. Can enter setup. When initiating CSDEVCTRL, it always says "Run setup first" but I have already run it. After a few seconds, it closes. Nothing running.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ItsDon:
I was able to get it running but I had to resort to opening each category, checking my options and then SAVING each category. Then I did a big save at the end and it seems to have come to life. The new UnlockifWakeUpManually function doesn't seem to work and I wish it had a way to kill the screen during a call. Otherwise, nice!

Release 6.11 is out

Hi all,

i just released 6.11.

It includes:

- Fix for the setup program to actually create the new keys and not having to select save in each and every screen (as ItsDon mentioned).

- Added an option to turn off the video when talking as requested by ItsDon .

It should turn it on once the call is over.

Also the video is turned on by pressing the power button while it is off.

Enjoy (i hope with less bugs this time :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
You can hang up by sliding from up to down while the device is locked and in call.

(Set the Hang Up a Call to 20 in the (LOCK) Options While Locked.

they dont work the option: unlock if waken up manually :-(

i have aktivate : lock when wake up

any idee?

thx

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ItsDon:
Nice Update! Running it now. Couple things for you.

The "Unlock if waken manually" still doesn't work on my Touch Pro (pushing the power button)

The "Unlock after phone call" doesn't work. It still relocks immediately when I hit the "end call" button.

Stellar work though, very impressed!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggylive:
this is working fine for me. cdma touch pro
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ItsDon:
Mine started sporadically working earlier today. Something on my system must be fighting with it, I'll look into it.

Hi all,

Release 6.11.1 is out including various fixes.

The Unlock if Waken up manually should work a bit better so please give it a try and let me know.

Thanks for the comments and observations.

I will try to simulate your settings and see how it behaves.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] camro:
seems to be, that it is not loading alloptions which are set via setup - or ?

ex: if i set: the keys directions for:

1 -> unlock

-1 switch to speaker (this would be fine if there is a toggle switch for speaker/on/off on 2nd gesture..maybe an idea ...)

2 -> BT on

-2 -> BT off

but if i save this and then reload again - i can't see the settings - seems to be gone ?

can somebody check this ?

Try the reg edit mentioned on Post#5 at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=504432.

This works for me with no problems I have a Samsung i730 with WM5.

It refers to the Touch Pro WM6 although it works for any CMDA phone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gagvas:
Christo, it seems that the problems I mentioned above are related mainly to the HD device and not to your software. Now it works fine ! See above

This tweak didn't work for me.

However, when I replaced the HD CallerID by the standard WM one (using HD tweak) everything worked fine ! Autolock works really fast. Full lock also works fine. It doesn't take more than 0.5 ring for the phone to start ringing !

Two minor problems only :

1) I missed the bluetooth connection icon on the taskbar !

2) The standard CallerID uses the softkeys for answering/rejecting a call instead of the S2A feature. Autolock does not lock these two softkeys !!!!

Slide Action - to compose SMS

Hi Chris,

Would there be a possibility to have a Slide Action to compose new SMS/text mesg?

I'm not sure is there currently a shortcut for WM6.1, I have to take 5-click to compose a sms (exclude waking & unlocking device)... It would be a great feature if available.

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adolfotregosa:
Can you add a option to power off display after x seconds after smt woke it up ?? like a notification woke up the device and after x seconds turn it off again but it has to look if it's playing music or not.

I know that the program has the option to poweroff after x seconds but that kills the music.

EDIT - After thinking about it the turn video option off after x seconds should work here but it doesn't :) after device wakes up locked , it turns off after my defined 1min but if it was playing music is keeps the backlight on! Turn video off option should work here, no ??

I'm i wrong ?

Another thing. I have it set to lock if idle 65seconds and turn off video after 10seconds. (to turn off screen while playing music) perfect. when i manually turn on the device it does not auto unlock on this situation !

EDIT - i think it has smt to do with it waking up locked on the tf3d today screen!

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cxkx:
patrioti your app is the best locking app i've tried, getting ready to try version 6.1.1 now. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggylive:
it seems 6.11.1 broke the lock on wakeup (sleep) function. it will lock during/after a call, but I have to manually lock otherwise.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] camro:
sometimes, i can't take a phone call. it sems tobe, that not alway all reg keys are loaded, and also the settings are not fully load from reg keys ...

hmm, i'm trying to find a older version which works better. i 'm searching for version 6.02 - 6.05...

for me bugs:

1.) setup - doesn't load all settings or setup didn't save settings.

(ex: unlock keys: 72~,73~75~;76~ in setup, save and start setup again, then they are not in.

2.) lock unlock mode on a phone call, now can't take the call (not always, but works with older version)

3.) doesn't lock the phone after switch on (not always, but works with older version)

4.) unlockin with gesture during a call (lock in call is set - not always, but works with older version)

5.) unwanted unlocking during a call (lock in call is set - not always, but works with older version)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HERVEG:
One thing ismissing?

Hi,

I have just adopted your soft which is really the best locking soft according to my needs (major one was to lock when calling).

Nevertheless, let me suggest you two improvments :

1. It should be great if it is possible to use the WM6 function lock by PIN numer at device power on and after an idle time of 30 minutes (for exmaple), but only the quick WM6 unlock if idle less than 30 minutes. Actually and unfortunatly, when using the PIN locking the quick locking is no more available.

2. I think that the lock funtion should be a .dll or a .exe and it could be great to add the possibility of selecting other locking/unlocking systems (for example S2U

Last remark : I am a blackstone owner and, when calling (device locked... thanks), I cannot adjust the sound level using the dedicated buttons even if I have well set the exceptions ( 73~;76~;75~; ). The device is sensitive (level gauge appears) but not enough because the sound level is not modified.

One again and despite what I have wrote above, thanks for this great job.

Release 6.12 is out

Hi all,

Release 6.12 is out with the next changes:

> Fixes for the exclude keys. The volume slide must be functioning properlly now if the keys are excluded.

It seems that the key codes change while in call, so to actually get the keys excluded the next to be done:

- Stop csdevctrl

- Call your mobile and answer the call.

- Run the csdevctrlsetup.exe and got to the exclude keys form.

- Press the keys you want to exclude.

- Save and exit

- Close the call.

> The unlock after wake has been converted to define the delay in ms before the device is unlocked. The reason is that the notification that caused the device to wake up is initiated some seconds after the device is on, so there is a danger of actually unlocking even if an SMS has been received.

> Added two new options to execute programs with the corresponding arguments if needed as Slide actions (it unlock first and then execute).

As always any comments are welcome.

Cheers

Chris
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Seems something is wrong with the registry camel.

If it still insist after your tried the latest one 6.12, i would suggest to delete the whole key and rerun the program.

As for the speaker, i will see what i can do.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hi,

check out 6.12, with the option to execute programs with slide you can perform this action.

Thanks for the idea, i really find it useful.

EDIT:

The settings i have used are:

ExecuteCommandACommand=/windows/tmail.exe

ExecuteCommandAParams=-service "SMS"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hmm i will look at the video options more careful and let you know
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Euxaristo :)

I would suggest to try 6.12 as i added some more fixes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Thanks for the ideas/comments.

I will check both of them, i really liked the first one as i would use it as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraminc:
This still isn't working for me. I get the same key codes while Im in a call. the only way I can change the volume is to bring the phone down from my ear and hitting the volume button on the screen first. Using windows 6.5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] camro:
for me - also dosn't work

i got for red call button, volume up + volume down always e5~

also the same during a call -> also got e5~

BUt, as i knowed from older good version(i like version 6.07), that the keys on my HTC HD are:

Green key: 72

Red key: 73

Volume up: 75

Volume down: 76

so i input in exclude keys: 72~;73~;75~;76~;

if i start the setup a second time, all seetings for gesture, exclude keys are empty.

Volume keys(Button 75 and 76) doesn't exclude during a call and they are locked.

PLS: i'm searching tomorrow for tools which can switch/toogle Bluetooth on/off and Speaker/Internal via command line, because this would be great if i can "toolgle" BT with gesture -1 and toogle with 2 speaker/internal.

or can you handle this by internal commands ?

PLS: new feature request: if 3,5 cinch is connected the phone is thinking, that i have connected the external power - can you handle this extra ?i don't want to unlock the phone if i plug in the 3,5 earset.

thanks - for great tool - cu camel

EDIT:

all tries with deleting all reg keys + fresh install of 6.12
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggylive:
still doing this on 6.12, I nuked the reg key and re-setup, but it still doesn't lock when I put to sleep.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Some points on this:

- The lock when going to sleep is activated when the device actually goes to sleep. Sometimes it takes more than 1 sec, so can you please try waiting a bit before switching on again.

- The option of unlock manually, needs to be disabled (set it to zero) as it will unlock it immediately if it is set to 1.

The value now is the ms to wait before unlock. It will unlock only if no notification appears within this period (in ms).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
i assume you pressed Save setting when prompted right ?

Are you also using 6.5 ?

For the toggle options, i am adding them as well on the next release as options for slide.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggylive:
immediate is right!!!! wow it's fast!!!! even 500ms or 1000ms is hardly noticeable. I actually want it set to "1".

so ignore my previous posts. btw, this testing was done on a Sprint Touch Pro. (wm6.1)

I have been doing lots of messing around and found a few glitches.

First I find the lock exceptions to be counter intuitive and don't fully seem to work right. that might have been some of my issues. they should be "Do NOT lock on external power" and "Do not lock while cradled" programming to be adjusted accordingly. (I did not have lock while on ext pwr checked and it would still lock[sometimes])

--ONLY-lock on ext pwr & lock while cradled are checked--

1.a lock during call- does not work if idle in call is set to 0 [0 ignore]. (zero should only ignore the idle timer, not lock in call[that's what the check box is for])

1.b when lock if idle in call is set >0 (1+) after a call has ended it still locks based on the set time.

1.c if lock fully during call is set, 1.a does not apply, but for 1.b it locks immediately on call, then after unlock the idle timer works)

I had a bunch more, related to the stylus and keyboard slide, but then I realized this was because the touch pro by default unlocks when they are opened. I found how to disable the built in keyboard wakeup, but not the stylus. not that the stylus is as big of deal, cuz it doesn't trigger in my pocket. I attached the registry entry to disable built in keyboard wakup.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"SlideWakeup"=dword:00000000

my devices didn't have it, I had to add it. I wonder if you think it would be wise to have your app do this since it has it's own setting. wait a minute.. I just realized that the reg hack disables the wakup so it breaks your unlock on keyboard unless the phone is 'awake'.

I really wish I knew what htc put in to unlock automatically on keyboard and stylus. maybe you can figure it out and use it's mechanism for unlock. (edit; I can upload the dll if you wish)

sorry for the long post, but I've been messing with this all day.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] camro:
sure, that i press save.

and also i set the the slidesensity via manually regedit to 300 on my HT HD.

it doesn't work with the setup.

i'm not sure if setupdoesn't save all option or setup doesn't load all options from registry, but it seems to be buggy.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chuangdi:
one little thing

This application is amazing!!! Bravo!

Only one tiny flow keeps it from being perfect. Would it be possible to suppress the standby countdown if there is an alarm ringing? My phone (i900 omina with WinMo 6.5) stops the alarm if it goes to standby. Because I have csdevctrl set to fall back to sleep after 5 seconds of incativity when locked, this means only 5 seconds of the alarm in the morning (not quite enough )

Once again, good work!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adolfotregosa:
chrisstavrou, any news on the video shutdown ??

thank you !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
You can change the image that the lockscreen uses in WM6.5. The LS_Global_000x000.cpr file (replace the 0 by your resolution) is where it is.

The file is in the windows folder and you will need Total Commander to replace it as it is a system file.

Here is the text in mine:

<Form>

<Image ID="Background" Left="0" Top="-26" Width="240" Height="400" Visible="True" Opacity="1.0" ScalingAlgorithm = "TriLinear" Source="\Windows\LS_BGroundP.png" />

</Form>

Where Source="\Windows\LS_BGroundP.png" points to your image. The width and height should be the one corresponding to your resolution as well. Don't change them.

You can do the same thing for the landscape file as well. If you have problems, just delete the file using Total Commander, It will restore the original.

Inactivity timeout

Hi,

great software, thanx a lot!

One bugreport: apparently the inactivity timer is not reset if one uses only touch gestures actions. In my case it is an RSS reader where I do not enter anything, only navigate between downloaded news with the finger. In 2 minutes (as per my settings) the device gets locked, which is quite annoying.

Well, the workaround would be to add the reader to the exceptions list, but it is not the only program of the kind, so I would really prefer a real solution.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggylive:
this app should MOST definitely should be installed on the internal ram (program storage)

anything that gets used every time you use the phone should be there.

this app does get used literally every time you touch it (except the bug mentioned above)
