Yes its the default value.

But if you want to lock your device after some time then it needs to have a value.

You have selected to lock after it wakes up only so it does not lock while it is running as the option of Idle lock is not set.

Can you let me know based on what event the device should be logged if not idle ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlk:
I wanted to lock device after pressing power, which works fine with one exception - earphones+music playing from manila. With idle timer its working fine, just hope it wont unlock somehow in my pocket in the idle period (as it does usually while playing music, its some magic proly).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Can you please tell me what happens when you press the Power button while the music is playing and the earphones are plugged:

- is the video off ?

- you still can hear music playing ?

I am trying to understand the actual event as it seems it does not really power off the device when its playing with earphones on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlk:
Display is turned off and music is playing in background. This work only when earphones are plugged (ie there is earphones icon on top bar next to start). If you play music loud from phone speaker and press power, it stops and device suspend itself.

Can you try the attached, it is still the debug version.

Lets see if it works.

Locking only touch screen

Hello, Chris! Thank you for your tool!

But unfortunately, I don't understand how to perform locking only touch screen but not hardware keys.

I've tried to uncheck 'Lock Fully The Device' and tried to check this with setting codes for all my hardware keys but nothing happened.

What did I do wrong?

(I'm using Samsung i710)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zer0es:
Hi chrisstavrou,

Firstly, thank you for the great program!:)

But i seems to be having some issue with alarm though

I'm using WM default alarm, but there are times that the alarm doesn't come off when the device is locked.

Anyone else experiencing this?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlk:
Works fine, thank you. But have another problem - not sure if its this build, but after waking up it swich to home screen of TouchFlo (ie with clock). Not sure, but it didnt behave like this before. And option to unlock to home screen is disabled.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Version 6.08 is out

Hi,

sorry for this, i left a piece of code which seems it was messing up the alarm,

i fixed it in the latest 6.0.8 version.

Let me know if it still continues.

Hi,

i have created a new version which has the option to 'Lock after Video is Off'.

As for the TouchFlo, this is the default behavior of it, it comes up when the device is locked.

The problem with the unlock to home screen was caused by the debug version so it should not appear with the official one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hi,

can you describe to me what are you trying to succeed?

I mean once the device is locked by default if it is not ringing or notification appears the hardkeys are active but in theory they do not lauch a program but simply make the Lock screen appear.

So what do you to happen in this case?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlk:
Thank you very much for all that fast support :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zer0es:
Will try it at once and let u know the result:)

Thank you for your help!:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cepro:
I thought I could manage my device with hardkeys (launch programs, make and answer calls etc.) when touchscreen is locked.

I think I was mistaken. Or maybe not?..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] k000:
It looked so cool on WM 6.5 but not lost it's coolness when I sent back to 6.1 ROMS..... I mean clicking on 'unlock' and then the unlock button is so passe...

I will love to use it when any slide kinda lock becomes available on 6.1 or when I goto 6.5 again..

Thanks for you great work !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leesoon3:
Hi, I've used this software bout about 1 week and it work flawlessly. I wonder if I could :

When i'm calling some1, lock screen and hardbutton when outcall is connected.

When there's an incomming call: screen not lock, hardbutton locked

When the call is answered: screen is locked, hardbutton locked ( or both no locked)

Thank you. Great locking software!

Edit: I just tried and found solution ( so that When there's an incomming call: screen not lock, hardbutton locked, and when the call is answered: screen and hardbuttonboth no lock) by ticking General Locking > Lock Fully The Device

[REQ] Combine it with this ...

Great app ! Thanks for your work.

I was wondering if it could be combined with this one ...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=488991

Basically it unlocks phone during call when you take it off the ear and put into horizontal position. Helps a lot when you need to press keys during calls .. "press 1 for sales, press 2 for support, etc" kind of thing. And then - locks it again when you done.

Or ... if somebody can tell me how to unlock phone AUTOMATICALLY (w/o pressing buttons) when I need to press keys on dialpad during call.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jpl69:
Hey chrisstavrou ,

i really like your app, specialy the bluetooth turn on on incoming call feature, it's very good when driving, i allways forget to pair it before, but i have some issues:

- The incoming call are very delayed, normaly with htc phone pad i have 2 secs delay but with csdevctrl sometimes more then 5 secs, it seems the app doesn't know what to do locks or unlocks.

- What does the "Lock fully the device" feature ? Shouldn't the device be fully locked by default?

- The option "Do not lock when ringing" shoudn't be aligned with upper options on config screen ?

Many thanks for your patience.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Yes you are right thats the purpose and you will need to:

a. Assign first an attention key

b. Assing key sequence for the action you want to execute when locked.

Use the setup program, its supposed to be easier.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hi, thanks for the comments.

I checked the thread you mentioned but it seems its an experimental api which does not work for all phones.

To unlock it w/o pressing buttons try the slide option while its locked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
@jpl69

Thanks for the comments,

as for the:

>>>

- The incoming call are very delayed, normaly with htc phone pad i have 2 secs delay but with csdevctrl sometimes more then 5 secs, it seems the app doesn't know what to do locks or unlocks.

>>>

the delay should be caused by the bluetooth turning on, it seems the device is gets busy while trying to turn on the bluetooth.

Please check if the delay you mention appears when the bluetooth is already on, in theory it should not have this delay.

>>>

- What does the "Lock fully the device" feature ? Shouldn't the device be fully locked by default?

>>>

this in theory will disable the keys as well, so when locked the keys do not respond.

I noticed that with the new Win 6.1 in some modified roms, this does fully not work.

>>>

- The option "Do not lock when ringing" shoudn't be aligned with upper options on config screen ?

>>>

yes you are right, i move it up, its just the number of options has grown really much making a simple setup program not sufficient :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jpl69:
Thank you for your reply.

It seems that with the bluetooth option off, it rings faster (normal) but only shows caller id later (it must be an htc phone pad feature :) ). But i realy like the bluetooth option and thats why i've never tested.

Version 6.08.1 is out

Hi all,

a new version is out which includes:

- Fixes, the setup program for capturing the keys has a problem.

- Option to Soft Reset using Hotkeys.

Have fun

Chris
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Davka:
Thanks Chris for your work!

Is it possible to do something like this:

- no lock when I wake up the device by a power key (manually)

- lock when device is woken up by system (eg. new SMS,email etc)

Load at start up doesnt work for me with Version 6.08.1

Any one else has that problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aussi:
With the new Version 6.08.1

The option 'load at start up' doesnt work for me any more , any one else got that problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hi try,

re-selecting (remove check and then check it again) the option from the setup and say yes to save.

Its a shortcut pointing to the program so if for any reason its installation location is changed, it needs to be readjusted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aussi:
Nope it doesnt create a shortcut in my startup folder of windows.

Even after unchecking it and then checking it again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hi Davka,

how about if it gets unlock it is waken up by the user ?

It gets locked just before going to sleep currently so it is easier to implement it this way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Can you try, unchecking and then answering yes to save (setup will exit)

Then run setup again, check it and then answer yes to save (setup will exit once again).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraminc:
I am able to get it to lock when i make a call, but can not figure out how to set it up so it will allow me to change in call volume while locked. I tried Lock During Call, but that did nothing, Lock fully locks the screen but cant change the volume w/o bringing the phone down and hitting the button.

Version 6.08.2 is out

Hi all,

6.08.2 is out

Basically it includes:

> Fix for the hotkeys to support mutli-code keys properlly. The previous version were ignoring the second code of a multi-code key.

Because of this fix, all hotkeys will need to be deleted and re-ented to get the proper code (sorry for this).

->Added 2 new options for hotkeys,

- to unlock when pressing a hotkey sequence, this seems to be replacing the existing option 'unlock with this first key and then the second' which i will remove with the next update.

- to toggle the autolocking/powering off of the csdevctrl.

Its a quick way to enable/disable csdevctrl.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hi,

check 6.0.8.2 version, the Toggle autolock has been added.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
You will need to add the volume keys in the exclude list.

However, it seems that this part needs to be fixed to handle multi-code keys so please wait until the next release (in the next few days) in which i will fix this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
:) still trying to see how this can be done, when a notification comes up, the softkeys change so i can not really unlock it ..

By the way, are you referring to the hard keys being unlocked or the complete device ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Can you please let me know if the startup directory is actually called\Windows\StartUp ?

Also where did you install the csdevctrl ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Davka:
I will show you what I want on a real life situation :)

- I want NO LOCKING (whole device locking) when I have my phone on the desk, when I take it and want to send a SMS or sth (so I resume/wake up the phone manually)

- I want LOCKING when I have my phone in the pocket and there comes a message or sth, I just want to avoid random actions when the phone is woken up not by myself
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraminc:
This still dosnt work. I dont see a spot for exclude for in call locking.

help!

Iv installed this app. but it ****t up my phone, so i uninstalled it just like it says. but now when i use on/off button on the side (HTC TYTN) and after a wile "wake" it up again from standby. i get a warning. it says " cant run \windows\~IA Zip Temporary Files\csdevctrl.exe"

how can i get ridd of this message?

I liked the applikation, and i would like to use it. but it had to many faults!

can you please help me with my problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Sorry to hear this.

I am going to post a new version of this which i have been using for some time now.

As for the error,it seems that the program had been executed from the web browser after downloading ?

Anyway,

try to download once again the program and then copy the csdevctrl.exe to the

\windows\~IA Zip Temporary Files\

directory.

After that run it to register itself.

Then run it once again to unregister itself.

Hope it helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osma101174:
help!

Thank you. i did what you said. and it worked like a charm. and im usin the last update of your app. realy like the app.

Thanks again for your help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Thanks man2003 for the cab but i guess a new one is needed now :)

I have uploaded the latest changes which involve:

- A list of programs for which the lock will not be activated. The list must be separated with the character ';' which must follow after every executable. Only the executable must be entered, not the full path.

- A key sequence which if pressed within 2 seconds, then the device gets unlocked.

For the last part, i am changing the setup program so that the Hex values are entered automatically after the user selected some keys.

For now, on TyTNII:

0c3 is the Today Key

0c4 is the OK Key

so by entering these values in the first and second key respectively the device can be unlocked by pressing those keys instead of touching the screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yesod7:
I need help.

I switched to your newer versions, with the menu-type setup instead of the registry changes. Now, though, when I make calls, I can still press the buttons to put the call on hold, and more importantly, to hang up, after the five second delay when everything is supposed to lock.

I have the Lock After Device Wakes is checked.

Lock fully the device is checked.

Show Today after Lock is checked.

Lock during call is checked.

Lock Fully the device during Call is checked.

Lock if idle in call for sec is 5.

otherwise, I have not changed any settings.

Is there a setting I'm missing?:(:(:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fzzyrn:
Is it possible to modify this program to end calls instead of locking the screen during them? I would like to see some kind of customizable time delay.

I've made a thread about this, but nobody seems to have answered.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] athena99:
Hi chrisstavrou,

Your program is very useful, it's great.

But I have a suggestion, is it possiable to disable backlight when touch the screen while device locked. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Seems it does not read the settings.

Can you try deleting the whole key of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CSDevCtrl

and then through the setup program (if it can be called like that :) , fill in your options.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Do you mean that let the phone ring for some time and if not anwered for some time then drop the call ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hi Athena,

efxaristo :)

If you set the device to be fully locked (LockDeviceAlways) then while locking the screen remains without backlight.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yesod7:
Okay, that worked, but now what happens is that every time I change the settings and/or turn the program off, then back on again, my Tilt freezes up and I have to soft-reset it. (Minor problem, to say the least.)

Secondly, the thing that really bugs me is something it's always done: usually, when I unlock the phone using the screen, it unlocks, then immediately the screen goes blank, and I have to use the power button to get it back on. Have you found this before?

Thirdly, I have tried using the new button-combo to unlock it, and can't get it to unlock. Which buttons are which, numberwise?

By the way, I hope you don't think I'm complaining; I still love this program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Sorry for this, me very bad :)

I have fixed it in the latest update which has some more goodies:

- Turn on/off Bluetooth based on call status.

As for the blank screen, it does not appear on my Tytn, i will have some more checks, may be its a program that is running while it is locked ?

As for the unlock sequence,

enter 0c3 as the first key and

0c4 as the second from the setup program.

Keep in mind that it is only enabled if 'Lock Fully Device' is set.

After it locks the device,

if you press the 'Start' key and then the OK key within 2 secs it should unlock the device.

Your comments are always welcome, no problem.

Thanks

"Run setup program first"

"Run setup program first. Key not found."

Cant find the ignor programs list

Hi. i am looking in the regfile, and cant find the ignor program settings anywhere.

when i set the time to lock to xx sec. if idle. the lock progr. locks my phone even if im writing an sms, or hve any othet programs running. like camera and so on.

how can i enter programs that will exklud locking the phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Hmm, when the versions are changed the setup program must be executed and select Save to update the new keys.

Well i would suggest to get the latest one :) which i just uploaded and run the new setup program (it will keep your settings).

I have changed a bit the logic and it works much better with PointUI.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Try using the new one i have just uploaded (3.07).

I added an option [HangupCallAfterSecs] where you specify in seconds the time before dropping the call (either incoming or outgoing).

Let me know if this is what you were looking for, i have actually simulated the 'hang up' did not use a straight forward API hope it does what you wanted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisstavrou:
Try getting the latest one, there is no more reg file but a very basic setup program from where you can change the settings.

I suggest use a number larger than 20 seconds for idle.

How can i search the code or ID for the centre key for Diamond?

Any idea?:confused:

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 (XPERIA X1 with WinMo 6.5) stops the alarm if it goes to standby.
