New Diamond User

Hi,

I'm trying out S2U2 for the first time.. previously I've considered such apps as just a cosmetic gimmick however having experienced some recent incidents of my Diamond being switched on and left on in my pocket (pouch pressure on sensitive touch screen not allowing it to sleep following an event) and a low/dead battery I've decided S2U2 could indeed be the answer! :)

My primary concern with using such a lock is battery drain, especially as the Diamond has a pretty rubbish battery anyway! My secondary concern is how it will work with the Diamonds default functionality of switching off the screen during a call - I personally like this power saving feature and find it no hassle switching it back on again via the on/off switch if I need to see what's going on or use the touch pad mid call, that is of course until S2U2 is introduced to the scenario and which adds an extra step. With this latter point I guess time will tell how much of a pain this is (I've got the SEND/END buttons enabled so I can do the basic call management easily enough, s'pose its just when I need something else) however if some experienced Diamond user has anything to add re. somehow having the screen turn off during a call but without S2U2 kicking in that'd be perfect.

With regards to battery drain, can someone please tell me the most 'battery efficient' configuration for S2U2 (either specifically for a Diamond or in general as I guess most points carry across platforms)? I've seen suggestions in this forum that enabling 'Safe Mode' reduces battery drain, true? I've also seen suggestions that by disabling power management within S2U2 (and I guess leaving WM to take care of that side of thinks as per before) this also helps, again true? I only have S2U2 enabled for wake up; have disabled the 'on back light off' and 'on blank screen' options. Lastly, does the particular skin/wallpaper/theme being used make any difference? I'm using the "Dirty Paper VGA" which I noticed in downloading was rather large, however I've taken note of the jpg vs. gif note and checked it is indeed using jpgs.

In actual fact I can't really see how S2U2 would have too much of an impact on battery drain at all as surely it only comes into play when the Diamond is switched on - ie. 'woke up' and thus event driven - and not for the majority of the time when it is sleeping.

All comments / words of wisdom much appreciated!

Cheers, Simon

thanks, A_C

Fantastic release as the usual, but I have little problems :(

most of it in the configuration

* when I use auto-changig wallpaper every 1 minute, sometimes doesn't work

* problems with "Random wallpaper"

* when I suspend the device, not always S2US starts

Well I thought it was my ROM, but it appears that S2U2 1.35 interferes with the volume control on my Diamond. Pressing the up or down volume button will bring up the volume screen, but another press in either direction puts it right back to the home screen. The only way to change the volume with the keys are to push it once to bring up the volume screen, then use the touchscreen to adjust. Closing iLock corrects the issue. Volume control is disabled within S2U2 settings. Is anyone else noticing this issue (truth be told, I only read back about 4 pages, so I apologize if this has already been reported).

Thanks, AC!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MiniDevil:
Just installed S2U2, looks awesome!

I have a question. All the graphics seem to be twice the size they SHOULD be, according to the pictures. It cuts off some of the words in the options menu, and the slide to unlock is huge and you can not see the entire bar, even when I flip screen to landscape.

I am using the HTC Kaiser. Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Timmi-T:
Maybe stupid question.., but you downloaded Qvga-version and not the vga-one? -kaiser is qvga...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
I think you're using the VGA cab. Try the QVGA one and see if that solves your problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MiniDevil:
You're right. I'm still a Windows Mobile idiot, my second day with the Kaiser. I assumed VGA was the proper cab.

Thanks for answering a stupid question :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] diomark:
One major annoyance for me with this utility - (great util btw..)

When a call comes in and I manually blank the screen (by hitting power), s2u2 does not lock the screen (think bluetooth headset) - even after the call hangs up, the device remains unlocked.

Is there a way to force a lock from s2u2 upon a call? (or better yet, force lock on call hangup?) This is on the sprint touch pro (stock rom)

-m
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
: never mind
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
When "Volume Control" is turned off in the setting, please also turn on "Don't use Keyboard Hook".

That's because the random function is not a real random.

Haven't tried the TouchFlo player, because... But there is no problem to control the FM Radio even S2U2 is running.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] p50kombi:
tnx

tnx for the response.

Is there an upcoming release which has true random?

If not, how many wallpapers does it go through max?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] emay:
double slide to unlock

I finally discovered what is causing the fact that sometimes you have to slide twice to unlock the screen. The first slide shows the 'desktop' and then it jumps back to the unlock screen. This only happens when I don't wait for the clock to update on the initial lock screen. Is there a setting which would disable this minor problem?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scar45:
Hi A_C,

I've been a LONG time user of S2U even before it's second version. I've just recently got an Xperia X1, and I'm using S2U2 1.35 on it now. I do have a couple of issues that I wanted to point out in hopes of getting them fixed in the next version.

- Using S2U2 1.35 with iLock2 that is distributed with it causes my phone to hang on incoming calls (randomly). Sometimes the phone will pick up properly, other times the Caller ID screen shows, but when I tap the green answer button (not using S2A) the app freezes in the foreground and I need to do some clever trickery to get it to restart without resetting my device. In the meantime, another user suggested using iLock2.exe from the 0.98 build, mixed with S2U2.exe 1.35. This has solved the problem of the phone answering bug, however there are some features that the earlier iLock2 does not support (such as UnlockOnAC). I'm not sure what the difference is b/w iLock2 0.98 and 1.35, but the 0.98 version allows me to ALWAYS answer the phone successfully.

- Battery life. I know this is a hot topic with S2U2, and while it's really hard to diagnose battery usage, I think that it's still something related to S2U2. I've done what many other users have done and enabled SafeMode, and I do see an increase in battery life. I would prefer not to run in SafeMode, however I don't really notice a difference in performance/workings. I know SafeMode disables "Unattended Mode", but could you explain in more detail as to what SafeMode actually does?

I know that you've prolly been busy as S2U2 hasn't been updated in a bit (which is cooool of course!), but I just wanted to give my feedback as a good beta tester should ;)

LOVE the program, and always looking forward to that perfect version...you're so close!

Thanks again for all of your work...I should donate again ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I thought this was asked before, but I really can't find the answer. I just purchased the Omnia and I love S2U2 on it, but I do have one minor issue....every once in a while the lock screen will go all out of scale and not fully show...almost like if I had installed a QVGA version on a VGA device. I have been playing around with the settings, and I am currently trying with keyboard hook off....not sure what it does, but I will try anything.

This issue isn't a deal breaker for me, all it means when it happens is a reset. Even when it does happen I can still get calls (the answer half of the slider still shows), so it doesn't freeze or disable the device.

So....basically I waswondering if there was a suggestion, or another Omnia user that has found the prime settings that could share them?

Also....one other little question......in theory if I load 240x400 pixel images for caller ID pics.....on full-screen caller ID....they will actually be full-screen...not with the black bars on top and bottom I see now.....right????

Thanks guys!!!!! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thenu:
my suggestion with omnia user,try with 240 x 320 it works i already try it

and i already try 240 x 400 the result like you say not fully show

X1: Can S2U2 be automatic deactivated if keyboard is opened out?

If there is a possibility that S2U2 is automatically deactivated, as long as the keyboard is opened out.

Many greetings, ecky
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Try to set a longer "wake up delay".

Have you change the DisplayMode to RawBuffer?

1. Could you post a screen-shot of that messy screen?

2. Not sure about the 240x400 issue, but have you tried to use S2V to crop a pic & assign it to a contact with your Omnia?

Possible, if someone send me a X1 for testing/debuging.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scar45:
I actually did change it to RawBuffer during one of your previous builds, but I believe that 1.33 or 1.35 did fix that issue on the X1. I don't have any problems using DirectDraw with S2U2 v1.35.

It just seems like the latest iLock2 sometimes lags when there's an incoming call, I notice that it takes an extra ring to respond over the earlier iLock2 0.98 build. Mind you, this only happens sometimes and not EVERY time.

Just trying to give all the info I can to help you out...

** EDIT: ** Just tried using latest iLock2.exe with RawBuffer Display Mode. This time my phone rang after a delay, but I did not even get the CallerID screen. It was frozen on my current application. Seems like for me (an X1 user), there's definitely an issue with using the latest iLock2.exe, as the 0.98 version does not have this CallerID/Incoming Call lag and freeze.

thx again!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I will post a screen-shot as soon as I can. it is so random, and I have to have a camera handy at the time, so it may not be until later tonight or tomorrow. Basically envision taking a picture of the screen and moving it slightly out of the screen frame...I am adding a quick scetch to try and give you an idea since I can't predict when I can get the screen-shot up!!!

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eazy2001x:
A_C,

I am also having a problem with my Touch Pro after I installed your program ver 1.35. It seems that once my device turns off the screen 30% of the time I am unable to press the power button to turn the phone back on. I have to end up removing the battery and booting up the phone again.

Wait.. I just disabled the power off in 17 (default) seconds and turned safe mode off to see if that helped. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

S2u2 in conjunction with other caller id Apps

I turned s2u2 caller id is turned off and i use the default caller id on my phone. When I get a call, the screen remains unlocked and it somehow tries to activate the default caller id, but it can't. Instead, it flickers. Is there any resolution to this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Did you stop + start iLock2 after you made the switch in caller ID screens?

If so, try a reset...that should kick it in!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Pls try to turn on "Don't use Keyboard Hook" then.

Since Omnia has G-Sensor, I think maybe S2U2 get confused by it...

After changing the "Safe Mode", suggest to soft-reset first.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I was wondering about that as well...is there a way to stop S2U2 from rotating automatically or is that something for a possible future release?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Since Diamond/Pro/HD also has similar problem if any "auto-rotate" application is installed, I'll try to debug that on my Diamond.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Sure appreciate that A_C....I think it is about time for another donation anyway!!! :cool:

Hello

Since version 1.35 s2u2 doesn't work correct on my phone. S2u2 doesn't start automatically anymore. Volumecontrols don't work and most important for me, the CallerID doesn't work.

My phone is a Eten M700

Is there a solution?

Omnia problem with camera on v1.35 (using HK2 rom)

Hello,

I've noticed a problem with S2U2 V1.35 on my Omnia...

Every time after using the camera the system freezes as soon as S2U2 kicks in (either manually or via power button). When switching back to v1.33 the problem is gone!

I'm on rom HK2 (V4 Lite version from PdaViet) since around a week.

I'm not sure it's related to the rom. Samsung have improved the camera software (pictures quality has improved). I'm not sure if I upgraded S2U2 to v1.35 at same time I upgraded rom (sorry, unfortunately I don't have time to spend 2 evenings to reload an old rom - see if it works ok - and then switch back to HK2 if it doesn't).

So either it's rom related or S2U2 related.

If people on other Omnia roms have same issue it has something to do with S2U2. Can other people check and confirm?

Or A_C... do you already know this is related to S2U2?

Edit: Received answer on MoDaCo forum. Solution is to set S2U2 to rawbuffer. Tested and everything works fine now with v1.35
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I see you wrote: I'm on rom HK2 (V4 Lite version from PdaViet) , so I am assuming you are on a 'non-original' ROM? I am using the Omnia with VZW (i910) and I don't have any freezing problems at all!! My problem is the screes images getting knocked off-kilter (posted earlier).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eazy2001x:
seems that everything is resolved.. i turned safe mode off anf killed the 17 second power off and all was well.. the funny thing is that the 17 second was on external power only.. maybe it happened when I plugged in my USB to copy files since i have it set to chard on USB.. Thanks.. I love all over S2U2 again..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thenu:
i feel the same too with my omnia rom dxhj1, when i run the cameran and then s2u2 lock my phone after that my omnia hang i must reset...

Alex

I used to use the S2U2 1.05 version. Everyting was just perfect.

The new version shows the following bugs on my E-Ten X800 WM6 device:

1. When the pda is in sleep mode - the device seems Unlocked (all the buttons are active) and the S2U2 does not terns on when I'm turning on the device.

2. When I receive an incoming voice call - even when the programm unlocked, after showing the callerID page and when I'm answering - the device become Locked. So to disconnect I need to unlock the device first, then - to push the corresponding button.

Any ideas what to do and to fix this bug?

If you're a diamond user using gryator 2 with s2u2 and you don't want s2u2 to rotate you might consider changing your events.

If you remove the generic rotate event in gyrator 2 then s2u2 shouldn't rotate anymore unless you create a seperate event telling it to do so. Of course this would go for all other programs or windows as well. This works fine for me though as I'd rather specify what I actually want to rotate instead of what I don't want to rotate.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jokes On You:
O sorry should have been more specific it only happens when a call comes in so its the caller id function that doesnt work correctly. Is there a way I can go around this? Im might have to do a registry tweak so that Java doesnt have that warning come up.

Hi, i also have a problem with S2U2 on my Omnia.

Sometimes it happens that my omnia seems to be unlocked when i locked it before. Then the S2U2 screen isnt been shown, but my omnia IS locked in this moment. I also can unslide my telephone then but i see no S2U2 element.

FYI I'm getting the same thing on my Omnia as well. It didn't happen for a day or two, then today it happened every time I put it in my pocket. Had to remove the battery to get back into the phone. I've had to disable S2U2 which bums me out, so hopefully there will be a fix for the problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
It is very random (it hasn't happened to me since I posted it), and the good news is that it doesn't lock the phone up, you can still answer calls and get notifications...it still needs a reset, but at least you don't freeze and have people saying they were trying to call you!!!!

P.S. for Omnia users....I have found weather apps installed on 'My Memory' don'r freeze-up S2U2 like on other devices with weather sources installed on memory cards!! :cool:

"No service" message on the screen

Hi,

S2U2 v. 1.35 on Verizon's Omnia i910. When I turn the phone on, it does display "No service" in left upper corner on the default screen (the same row where the battery indicator resides).

I noticed also another bug. When new email message arrive, I can read it without unlocking the phone.

Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
The 'no service' seems to be an Omnia thing. Mine said the same thing in all skinned apps (S2U2, MobileShell....) I used PPCPersonalizer to have it say something I wanted it to say.

Mine doesn't do that with email...what app/system do you use for email? I have the message bubble pop up, but it dissapears pretty quickly!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iosub:
I have the same problem.. did you find a solution?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suniverse:
I have no issues with default MobileShell skin... At least no ugly messages about service, it does display "EV" for Verizon's EVDO service on top row along with signal and battery indicators.

I use Outlook for email.

But you're probably right that it is Omnia's issue... Anybody else with Omnia and this message? It is not big deal, but...

Working configuration for LG KS20

Hi,

I just wanted to post my working config for the LG KS20. Maybe this is helpful for someone else :D

I'm using the latest version of S2U2 (v1.35), but I changed the iLock2.exe with the one of v1.01.

And I've changed the registry key

HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\ (SuspendResume)

from ~GPRS! to #777

(More infos here.)

The biggest problem was, that incoming calls were shown after the 5th or 6th ring, and my mailbox starts after the 7th. So I missed many calls and S2U2 was unuseable for me.

Hermes - delayed startup

I have two Hermes phones right now, one with s2u2 1.12 and one with 1.35.

On the 1.12 version it works quite well (lacks some functionality, though), but on the other one with 1.35 I am not so happy.

When I switch on the phone to wake it up (by pressing the power button), there is a fairly long delay before s2u2 starts up. It will show a working today screen for a second before locking the phone. On the other phone (with v1.12) it seems to be running istantly as I don't even see the today screen before it starts.

If I suspend the phone (with the power button) with s2u2 already running, and then wakes it up again, s2u2 will show instantly but unlock itself after a second, then flash the today screen before it locks again by starting s2u2. It shows long enough the first time for me to unlock it by using the slider, but then it will lock itself again immediatly after. Quite annoying.

I have been playing around with the settings, and of course tried the delay settings (On wake up, delay the start...), even set it to off, but the behaviour is the same.

Any suggestions? I'll stop using this awesome program if I can't get it to work. Maybe some other settings on my phone is making this happen. :(

Btw, where can I download earlier versions?
