Hi yesod7,

i will prepare a debug version for you to capture some trace hoping to understand why it does 'obey' you ... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nelsonw:
Hi, nice app! Works almost perfect on my wm6.5 ATT Fuze (Touch Pro) The only thing that don't works is the exception to lock when a program its running (CorePlayer). I added player.exe to exception but still locking when watching video... I have the 6.5 version installed in the sale folder that other one. The original csdevctrl.exe renamed to .old. Any workaround?

PD: now i workaround this keeping pluged... but sometimes on the go i want to watch some stuff. Maybe this times i can disable... but if you can fix this will awsome!

Thanks!

i tried cooking in the 6.5 test one along with the other files in a rom i built and when i try to open csdevtrl it says i have to open the setup first which i already did and saved changes

Not working all the time

Hey There,

Have this on my Touch HD running 6.1

I have found that it is perfect for what I want, but isn't always working.

I have it set so that it only asked for the password when I come out of standby. When I first restart my device, this works perfectly. I am finding however that eventually it stops asking for the password and I can bring it out of standby without having to enter the password. A reset fixes this problem, but obviously if I forget to do this, and the phone is stolen, it's too late.

I am sorry if this has been answered before, but really couldn't face trawling through 101 pages to see if it had :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0mmyr:
i also notice that it stops autolocking on wake (option i have enabled) about half way through the day, a soft reset fixes it and turns it back on but atm it doesnt lock until i softreset again, its like it died in the background

New Option?

Yo, Christ! I mean, Chris... How about a new option: power off (sleep) immediately after disconnecting a call?:eek::eek::eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazyteamhk:
can you add a list of exception for us to include in it like slide2unlock?

i really love this window default locking system:):):):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yesod7:
You can add exceptions using the option "LOCK - Exceptions" in the Setup area. :cool:;):cool:

chrisstavrou,

Thank you for this excellent program. I in particularly love the Bluetooth Goodies in this software!

I recently got the new HTC Leo. But this handy Bluetooth Goodies no longer works. It does not active BT during outgoing & incoming calls! Do you have any ideas???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0mmyr:
lucky u got a leo, i wish i had one, i just got my tp2 and now i'm jealous

Release 6.5 is out

Hi all,

6.5 is out having:

- beta support for win 6.5, i am testing it on the simulator so please let me know how it works on the device

- added option to power off after the call has been disconnected. (Goodies->Power off After Call Disconnected)

Any comments/ideas are most welcome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hi :),

checkout the 6.5, i added the option you asked, let me know if it works as you described.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Can you try the debug version of the 6.5 and send me the output file to investigate it ?

These are the instructions:

- Copy the csdevctrldebug.exe anywhere on your device.

- Run it once and it will kill the already running csdevctrl (if any). If there was a csdevctrl running then rerun it once again.

- Perform the actions you described (keep in mind that the debug version reacts slower especially when sliding etc)

- Run it once more so that it kills itself.

- A file csdevlog.txt in the root directory must have been created, please post this file.

Txn
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
I have added an extra option in 6.5 which dumps its variables without being in debug mode.

Can you please install 6.5 and then once the problem you described appears:

- Run the csdevsetup program.

- Goto General options and press the 'Dump All Variables' button.

- It should create the \csdevdump.txt file so can you please post it for investigation

Txn

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackuuuuu:
hehe... it's a good phone and I really like it very much ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackuuuuu:
chrisstavrou

Thank you for your support. I have done what you have describe and attaching the log file. Hopefully, I have done it correctly :)

In addition to the Bluetooth not activate under "Goodies" option (I ticked all 3 boxes). I can't activate the Lock even I had (under "Triggers & Options menu) "Lock After Device Wakes" & Lock when Power Switched to Battery".

Any ideas?

Thanks again for your support! ;)

Suggestion: function improvement

Chrisstavrou,

First of all thanks for making this great little software. I have been using this for quite some time (still stick to V6.11), and I found some functions a bit, hmmmm, could be better. For example, on my phone (htc P660 WM6.1) , I set the device to lock fully on idle for 10 seconds, then after 3 seconds to turn off the light, then after 5 seconds to go to sleep. Now, if I strike any keys, the screen will be on and shows the Unlock Screen. It would be better if fully locked the keys (except the defined wake-up key) will not triger the screen to turn on. And I define a key to unlock the phone but I must push it twice to really unclock it. The first time it shows "waiting the hot-keys" then if I push the same key again the phone unlocks. It would be better for the device to respond to the hot-key of unlock at once. In summary, my suggestion is:

(1) Full lock will lock all keys except defined "exception key" so that no keys can wake up the screen.

(2) Defined hot-keys for unlock (and also as the exception key) will wake up the phone and unlock it instantly.

It is possible my settings are not optimal. But I hope these function can be realized because waking op the phone often by accidentally touch any keys will drain the power, and people using other key than the power button to unlock the phone would be convenient to tap the key once to wake-up and unlock it. I hope it is not difficult to make the changes because I am a dummy in programming and must rely entirely on your intelligence!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zooster:
Hello, the csdevctrl6.5 has a strange behavior with the Topaz in signature... I chose the option to turn off the screen during a call... but it doesn't work all the times.

Often, during a call, the screen first turns off, but after a couple of seconds it goes on without pressing any key... Do you have a clue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Curb71:
guess its to confusing for me? :confused:

i set in the options to lock after 5 seconds. i started the app (short vibrate) and 5 or more seconds go by and phone is still not locked....hmmm.....Is there a lite version of this program? :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yesod7:
Power off after call disconnect

Works like a charm! Solves a couple of problems for me! Makes me happy! What more could you ask for from an app? Thanks! :cool::rolleyes::eek:

Autolock and programs

Hi, i see the same thread several times, bu there is no answer for it.

I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 running WM 6.1, and your App. and its great, but i have a problem.

When i run a program, the phone locks after a little while. the "lock if idle" option i set to 0, and i have set the spesific program in the "dont lock if running".

I have tried:

TomTom navigator.exe; calc.exe; iexplorer.exe; youtube.exe. (and other forms of tomtoms name.)

But it still locks. what can i (we) do? can you describe how to enter the right path?

Regards

Hello,

Awesome App, but one question:

How does this "Do not Lock if Running" work?

What do I have to write in the box?

For example if I am running the App G-Watch (gwatch.exe) I don't want CSDEVCTRL to lock, so what do I have to do?

And what if I want a second application in the exceptions?

Please help.

Thx

On a HTC Snap

I like the concept op the program, but can't set the options on a HTC Snap. With the trackball is scroll trough the page, but not from option to option? Tab also don't work. Any hints?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pretenderr:
hello,

what do you have to do in this forum to get an answer??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hi all,

sorry for the delay but during the move hard disk went bad and i am still trying to setup my enviroment.

Anyway, for the "Do not Lock if Running" to work the executable file name (not the full path) needs to be entered (its case sensitive) followed by the symbol ';'.

So for example to stop locking when internet explorer is infront, then enter:

iexplorer.exe;

A second executable can be appended so for example:

iexplorer.exe;pword.exe;

should stop locking when either internet explorer or word is infront.

The executable name can be found by running the program and through a task manager such as 'TaskManager' ,

http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/taskmanager.shtml

locate the application with its name and write down the program it refers to.

Hope it works for you,

am preparing another release with some bug fixing which hopefully i can post next week.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] follettoverde:

little execution delay

Hello,

Very nice program! Only one thing to comment: when putting it on from powersaving mode, being called, etc. it takes about half a second for the program to execute. Sometimes then just a button is pressed. Maybe there's a way to speed up this. It could be phone dependent: i use a samsung i780.

Bye!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odyon:
hi, nice app, but I was looking for the function: what if I want the device not to lock automatically if i press the powerbutton within, let's say, 3 seconds after the device got automatically turned off?

Is it possible? I though the "Unlock if waken up manually after (ms)" fucntion was for that? But it doesn't seems to work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soma900:
Wanderful program! It has sophisticted settings of hibernation and performing fuctions after hibernation. What it needs is to fully wake up by one click of single defined functional key and compatibilities to wm6.5.x slided unlock during incall. It will be a top one auto lock program in windows mobile!

Problems on HD2 Leo

I use it successfully on HTC Touch just to turn on bluetooth with incoming calls: wonderfull (can't understand why Microsoft and/or device makers don't implement this function out of the box).

Now I got an HD2 Leo, but, at this time, Csdevctrl 6.5 doesn't do the job properly. I know they changed something in BT activation on HD2: not all apps can toggle BT on/off.

Please, make it work! ;)

Thank you!

After uninstalling the program and deleting the registry key on the phone, I still get an error5 on bootup saying that the file csdevctrl can't be loaded. Where is the call for the program so I can delete it?

Thanks for the great program. Just found too many buttons to push to answer a call. I'm lazy.

Nate
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] follettoverde:
you have to delete CSDevCtrl.link in windows\automatic execution (or performance or something like, i don't know the exact name of the folder in WWE ROMs, but you can search for CSDevCtrl.link in windows with resco explorer or similar app)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stuckinthemud2:
Searched the registry for every instance of 'csdevctrl' and deleted each. Found csdevctrl in the mydevice\windows\startup\csdevctrl.exe and deleted that. Problem solved.

Maybe rewrite the uninstall routine to do the same?

Thanks,

Policies?

Under the "Policies Setup" menu... Do you have any breakdown of those policies somewhere?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] absoffthewake:
Just Installed this on my Touch Pro with MightyRom 6 (WMobile 6.5) and this is exactly what I needed! I liked the standard Slide unlocker and Windows Dailer (down with HTC dialer), but hated that it didn't lock automatically when I hit the power button. THANKS!

1 Question though, did you ever get around to making the option to allow locking even if stylus is out?

I loose my stylus alot, and would hate to be aggravated with no locking while I'm in the process of waiting for the stylus to surface again. :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flopshot:
On my Tilt2 with WM6.5, while the phone is locked (Lock Fully) and not on a call, the hardware volume up/down buttons are still active. I confirm that the previous bug regarding volume buttons DURING a call does not exist and they are active, but when I'm not on a call and phone is locked, it would be nice if volume buttons were locked so the ringer can't be turned off or lowered by mistake.

Otherwise, best app I've found so far for locking the phone. Great job!

Nice application. Tried so many of them, but this is the only one I liked. :)

I just would like to ask the author to make it with fingertouch interface.

It's very difficult to use it without stylus. And when you use Exceptions, it's not convenient to print all those exceptions...

By the way, could you add to app PasswordLock???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reversehead:
Please guide me ...

Hi, just saw your programs, it works great but it has to be adjust a little to suit my needs (but I'm sure the others will want to do as me though)

1. I want the lock screen to appear after i didn't use device for 20 secs and do it if i'm on Today screen only -> OK, works great

2. I want the device to Power off automatically after lock screen appeared by 5 secs -> OK, works great via Goodies' setting

3. I want to have a shortcut to lock screen and then power off automatically -> OK, via VJDeviceLock -pwroff

But ....

- My alarm (G-Alarm) didn't alarm me because of Goodies setting (in #2)

- The Cyberon Voice Dialer screen (the blue screen that waits for Voice command) can't complete successfully due to the device was power off before it can processing my voice command (P.S. Voice command initiated from my bluetooth headset button), i guessed because of Goodies setting (in #2)

-> So, Can we have the feature like UnlockWhenProcessExecuted = [list of xxxx.exe;yyyy.exe] and CSDEVCTRL will unlock if the new process's name matched the list ?

Or I have to just turn off the goodies setting or make it waits longer ?

Or you may have a better solution for me ?

:)

Many thanks in advance,

Hello!

I have a problem: I've tried a lot of configuration alternatives, but I still can't do the following points together:

a) Phone must be locked while the phone rings, i.e. I have incoming call. But not fully, I need to be able to answer.

b) Phone must be locked while an sms arrives. Fully locked.

c) Phone must be locked while an appointment fires. Fully locked.

d) Phone must be unlocked when I press the power button. (i.e. wake it up manually, which setting is in CSDEVCTRL)

Please, tell me, what should I need to set in settings to acheive it? Or maybe somebody can give me reg-file?

Thanks in advance!

P.S.:

A bug maybe found: the program doesn't accept as exception pocketalarm.exe somewhy. If I set to block the screen on wake up and alarm rings few times, then phone goes to sleep and I wake it up - it's blocked, although PocketAlarm is running... Strange...

Hi all,

sorry for the long absence but the move to the new house brought together too many problems, H/W failure, CDs unreadable to be reinstalled etc.

I will try to answer to your comments hopefully the coming week.

As for the support of win 6.5, i have installed win 6.5 on my Titan II but i hate the full lock screen that 6.5 has. Does anyone knows how to remove it to get the simple unlock prompt as the win 6.1 has ?

This might be out of topic but i would like to keep 6.5 on my phone for testing and this full lock screen makes hard to use.

Which is a better locking app- S2U2 or this app?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaggylive:
that depends on which one works better on your device/rom, and personal pref of course.

exclude buttons

Hi!

i am playing with version 6.5, and tried to use the exlude button options on my Omnia 2, but it's not working :(

I want to do the following: when i press my wired headset button (its the same as the answer button on the phone), i want a program (voicedial) to start, even the phone locked.

so i have aebutton+, and voicedial, and its working untill the phone locks,

so i wanted to set csdevctrl not to lock the answer button, so when the phone locked, the voice dial will work.

But after i set it ("72~", the keycode recognizing is working) and lock the device, nothing happens if i press the button :(

Please help, am i trying someting wrong? Thanks!

Or sy know a better solution? (other programs?)

The same thing here, the device won't lock after waking from standby.. I have WM6.1, maybe that's the problem? Everything else (that i've tried) works great. You've done a wonderful job! Imagine Windows with this much options! :eek:

EDIT: "Lock after device wakes" works only if you let the device untouched until it powers of (which is never going to happen if you hold it in your pocket), and doesn't lock when you manually go to standby.
