[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Mmmm... the lock when the power button is pressed will be posible but I'll have to do some researching... I'll also check the landscape thing.

Thanks!

I'll try to solve it...

I think that if you set all but phone buttons, the volume will work.... May be your buttons are using another "button code" or TLock has a bug... I'll check it ;).

Not still.... I don't know the way to get the time the device has been unused....

That's a nice feature ;). As mole have said you can eassily do it by changing the text.txt file.... but still it will be nice ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] igal_f:
Hi APBilbo,

I found that if i clear the "lock Automatically" and "Lock on startup" the effect is that lock takes place only on incoming call.

Is this how it should work ?

thank's.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jokes On You:
Hmm it that is true. Well I thought of the concept from the original windows lock. Maybe there's a registry value that has this? Or could you make Throttlelock just a straight exe and then have a mortscript launch it after X amount of time?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sulehri:
Great app!

Downloaded last night and lovin it! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lufc:
thanks for the update
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
.... that's right... And if you disable the lock in call it will not lock never :P. This is similar to what "Jokes On You" has asked for.... if you disable all this options you can launch ThrottleLock manually or with a MS by using ThrottleLock.exe....

Thanks!

Please read the first answer as it's related ;).

Thank you! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] igal_f:
thank's APBilbo,

That what i was searching : Only lock on incoming call.

I wish you add one more option : "No lock on power on".

Thank's again for this great software and keep on developing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
I have the same need in a lock app. Thank you for posting this! I am going to mess around with the png's and see if I can make them transparent.

The problem is, that you need some kind of graphical representation of what to do. I have been using PointUI 1.02 for the past year. That had its own lock program built in. It worked where it would flip from showing the home (pointui) screen with clock and icons, to the unlock screen when you touched it.

AP, I don't know if it is possible as I don't know how to code. But would it be possible to code Throttlelock to show your Today screen (or whatever you are using). And then show the Throttlelock screen when you touch it???

It wouldn't have to have the flipping motion like the pointui method I described. But it would be cool to have it fade in or something. This would just show the unlock dots, lines, or whatever theme the user wants. No clock, top bar, etc... are needed.

~Also, I have noticed that Throttlelock only works for me when I press the power button to enter standby. I have WkTASK installed and have it programed to shutoff the backlight when I hold the top right corner. When I turn the phone back on by pushing the power button...It isn't locked???

^^EDIT^^ It eventually shows the lock screen after about 12-15 seconds for it to load.

~In the options, what does "Exit On Hibernate" mean?

~Is it possible for you to add an option to show the Today screen when it unlocks? (Also related to showing the home screen when it comes out of hibernation but then shows a lock screen when touching the screen).

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
Ok, I messed around with the transparency of the dots. I set the transparency to 35 on the dots, and lines. This zip contains the renamed folder "battery1" and renamed "back1.png." Just copy to the Throttlelock theme folder and change it in the settings.

http:

//rapidshare.com/files/199339470/Transparent.zip.html

Its not the best solution. But it does do what I described above (somewhat). The problem is, since we renamed the Battery folder. The "red" dots (or wrong) dots don't show up as well as the text.

Hopefully AP can come up with a "real" solution to transparency and showing the Today screen with unlock.

Let me know what you think
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diar:
possible bug: i installed 0.5 over the previous version, but it changed my grid configuration and now i can't unlock my phone. i had the previous version set up in a 4 by 4 grid, but after installing the this new version the grid on the phone is now 3 by 3. i soft reset and the grid is still 3 by 3, so of course i can't enter my pattern. and hitting the upper left dot as a default doesn't work.

i'm going to connect via activesync and delete the password file so it will revert to the default pattern. just wanted to let you know of a possible bug.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
0.6 Released!!

Changelog:

* Haptic feedback.

* Solved some graphic bugs.

* Added unlock on incomming call.

* Startup speedup.

I will try to work on not lock on app startup ;).

Hi!

first of all thanks for the transparent icons ;). About your questions:

- Hooking the today screen for clicks will imply a global hook for the "mouse" wich is not available (AFAIK) in Windows Mobile :(

- Exit on hibernate means that throttlelock will be closed if you run low of memory (or if you run a tool like Oxios Hibernate or ThrottleLauncher free mem operation).

- ThrottleLock only starts when the device goes into stand by... I don't know if this is working with WKTask... Tough you can program the top corner to launch both the shutdown and ThrottleLock by using a MortScript ;).

- Tru transparency is not possible... I've been messing arround with it and it's definately a nogo... I've found people trying to do the same thing with same unlucky results...

I think I've solved this in 0.6 ;). Thanks for the report!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tman1425:
0.6 is perfect!!! the unlock on call option is just what it needed. Thank you so much for all the great work. Keep it up!!! Can't wait to see what else you can do with this!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thanks! I'm glad you like it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mecal:
If it can change the clock font， it will be better！
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ca3sar:
hows the start up speed upon stanby?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tman1425:
Found one little thing:o TL unlocks when I receive a call, which is perfect. But when I make a phone call and then turn the screen off and then turn it back on while still on the call, TL pops back up infront of the dialer. So is there a way to always unlock when on a call, rather than only unlocking when receiving a call?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bkeaver:
this is a amazing! Just one question tho.. mine says unlicensed how do I license it???

I am using an older version of ThrottleLock. Does the caller id work for QVGA tilt?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deuzeff:
V0.6 is faster on my Kaiser, thank APBildo ;). Running flawless.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
You can ;). Just check the wiki here:

http://www.throttlelauncher.com/wiki/index.php/ThrottleLock_Skinning

In the XML:

I think it's faster.... let me know if it's not ;).

I'll have to change that for further release... another check box in the config ;).

You can download a free license here:

www.throttlelauncher.com/keygen

Then softreset.

It will be valid for one month, after that you will have to go download a new one.

For un unlimited time license, you can develop an skin or theme for throttle, help at the forums..... or donate ofcourse.

Thanks!

Hehehe.... surprises are always better than waiting for something ;).

Ofcourse it does.... :)

Thanks for the feedback :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
hey apbilbo

i developed a skin! (see gloss theme in sig)

do i get unlimited lisence? :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Ofcourse! (Check PM in a couple of minutes ;) ) I didn't see it! Sorry.... BTW do you mind if I post it a my forum? Ofcourse posting the convenient credits and reference to the original thread ;).

edit: better check your mail ;). I've found it in your donation link.... let me know if the mail haven't arrieved...

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xpressyourcell:
I've tried this with .5 and now .6 and neither one is working. I downloaded the license to my phone, pasted it into the \ProgramFiles\ThrottleLock folder, did a reset, and it still says "unlicensed". What am I missing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
Thanks for the response AP.

I had a thought on the transparency aspect. Is it possible to make the font of the clock transparent? By removing the Battery folder, it also removes the clock and the wrong input text. I you leave those in, but just make the png's all transparent set to 0% it may work better. The dots of course would be set to around 35% to be able to see them.

This would allow your application to work as intended. But give the appearance of it being a transparent one showing the today screen.

I haven't tried 0.6 yet. But the problem I found in 0.5, on phone calls it would not allow me to unlock to be able to answer. I will have to try my idea in 0.6 and will let you know.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
:D

really cool!

i had no idea i could get a free license from that, just by the way, i have two more i think that you could also upload to your forum if you want

i think there is one in the wm7-style theme

and one i havent uploaded i might upload with transparent bg

thanks a lot!

really appreciate it, its a great app :D

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Ofcourse you could... making themes and skins for my apps it the best way of helping me :). Tons more than donating (not that I don't appreciate dontations ofcourse...). I use the licensing system to make ThrottleApps comunity grow. For people don't wanting to help or donate... hey what less that visiting the web once a month to get their license and check for updates....

Thanks for your skins, and thanks for your permision to upload them to my forum ;).

It should work in 0.6 ;). I haven't change any graphics in that version. Only core improvements.... About making the clock transparent, you can check some of the skins at my forum.... by playing with the margins you can move the clock to the top bar ;).

Ensure you're downloading the key for throttlelock and not for throttlelauncher ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SimpleAsPossible:
Does not lock after automatic turn off (suspend after idle timeout)

I am a big fan of ThrottleLock. I don't like to enter the stupid numbers every day :-))

The program locks if I press the power of button or if I restart the PDA. OK.

However, if the PDA turns off itself (because of idle timeout) the ThrottleLock gets not active when I press the power on button. No lock :-(

I have tried a lot but I can not figure out how to make it work.

Setting "Lock automatically" and "Lock on startup" is active. Soft reboot was done.

Any help appriciated.

HTC P3600 with WM5

I have found a workaround, but i still don't know why it does not work without the workaround below?

launch Task Manager (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=280104)

--> goto Notifications tab

--> click "add" toolbar (i.e. the second toolbar button)

--> fill in notification details as:

type = Application

app = \Program Files\ThrottleLock\ThrottleLock.exe

argument = <blank>

type = CNT_EVENT

event = The device woke up

--> soft reset

hi

i'm new to throttle lock but i really like your tool, but i have a problem with 0.6 on my omnia, i can't get the s2a feature to work!

reguardless on what is set in the options (s2a on or off) it never works instead i can't even see the default winmo notification when i get a call, only the ringtone starts and the softkeys switch to answer/ignore!

that is a bit anoying cause i don't see a name or a number from my caller!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zodiac:
Thanks a lot for version 0.6.

The S2A works on my htc artemis, and I have it to disable the notifications. The hiding/disabling of the notifications is partially visible though, I can see the notification behind a darker transparant layer on my screen. So it does pop up, but it's not usable, and only partially visible.

The s2a also remains on my screen after I've slide to green and am answering the call. Is it a good idea to disable s2a or only show it to 'slide to hang up' after the user has chosen to answer the incoming call?

Because of Throttlelock I'm actually trying to get my favorite series as a skin": 24. I'm trying to find a font that looks like the font that is used in the series for the clock. :)

Lots of thanks again and I fully understand the licensing system. It's not 100% customer friendly, but this is freeware and it helps to protect your software. A monthly visit to the site is just a small thing considering I use this app a lot (every time I turn on my phone).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I have a HTC Touch with the below mentioned data and ROM.

I tried to install ThrottleLock0.6, but at launch get the error message

An unespected error has ocurred in ThrottleLock.exe. Select Quit and then restart the program, or select details for more information.

File or assembly name 'Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35', or one of its dependencies, was not found.

I uninstalled ThrottleLock then and installed version 0.5, but same error ocurred.

Any hints?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike freegan:
I think I have a possible solution to the transparency thing.

I am only bothered about being able to wake up my device, see an updated TF3d / Home for a couple of seconds, then see transparent throttlelock. I can make throttlelock transparent, but WM doesn't update underneath.

I notice you plan on being able to delay on startup. If you could somehow make it so throttlelock closed when the device is sent to sleep (tapping the power button), then make throttlelock restart 2 seconds after it waking the device up it'd solve the problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zodiac:
I'd rather not have it start with a 2 second delay. If I turn on my phone, I want to immediately slide my password, and then immediately start using my phone. With a 2 second delay, I'd have to turn on my phone, wait 2 seconds, then slide the password and use it. 2 seconds don't sound like much, but after a few on and offs and it really becomes annoying to wait for it. But that's my view on it. ymmv.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
Hey Ap!!

First things first... good release man!!! I made a skin for 0.6 and actually ended up making a new thread for it. Link is in my signature... I will probably update it at some point since I have a few things left that I wanted to add to it, but that is what I have so far.

If you think its worth of your stuff, you can post it in your site... I already have an idea for a second skin but you'll have to wait and see ;)

Again, great release!!!

hey apbilbo.. i found a bug

i am not sure if the problem is with galarm or throttlelock

but, after a galarm executes, and i close it, then throttlelock automatically locks my device when i wake it up with the power button (so i think the settings in throttlelock where i deselect automatically lock gets overridden for some reason)

i dont really know whats happening, i just know it only happens after a galarm has been executed and closed

is this a bug with throttlelock?

Is there a way to have the clock as a 12hr clock rather then 24 hour? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] strikeone:
after some initial use, I have a few suggestions:

- full [visual] landscape support

- create some advanced options settings to allow the user to control (specifically) when the device is locked

- create a more efficient display the displays important info (ex. number of new sms, email, weather, etc.)

- makethe haptic feedback feature respect the ringer setting of the phone (ex. don't vibrate when on silent)

thanks again for this great app.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bensegar:
I've had this application for a while and at first i thought it was awesome, but now i'm wondering the purpose of this application. The reason i say that, is because the lock code is held in the Program Files folder. More than that, the contents of the phone can be access via usb from cold boot i.e. you can access the lock code while the phone is locked upon bootup.

So, hypothetical scenario [ i don't wish this on anyone] but your awesome touch hd is stolen. :-(:-(

The theif then sticks a USB cable into the phone, accesses the lock code and can then use the phone...

Does anyone else think thats just as good as leaving you're password on a sticky note in front of your computer?

If you don't believe me, switch off your HD, connect your pc to your HD, and switch your HD on. ThrottleLock will run but you can access the HD files which means you can access the lock code while ThrottleLock is running.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
yeah, but we are betting most people wouldnt know how to do that.. or where to find it

hopefully whoever steals it doesnt know what throttlelock is :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sustanon:
its 2 slow on asus p552 ;(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mole22:
True, but here's what I do as a work-around. Enable the MicroSoft PIN Lock (simple 4 number PIN should do), with a 24 hour timeout, so in practical use it never locks and ThrottleLock is used. However, you need to enter this PIN whenever the phone boots after a soft-reset, and also before ActiveSync allows access. I've also disabled Disk Drive mode so that ActiveSync is the only allowed method of copying files via USB.

Now, I almost never have to use the normal PIN, and rely almost exclusively on ThrottleLock, but I know that the lock code is protected by a normal PIN.

All the best,

Martin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zodiac:
Great tip!

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gerald_s:
If you want to have security the best idea is to use PocketSecure.

IMHO ThrottleLock is to prevent to push the screen or a button while the phone is in the pocket, its not a security application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adames729:
First off, I want to say that ThrottleLock is now officially my favorite locking program for my Touch Pro.

However, there is a huge problem that is bugging the crap out of me. Someone had mentioned it a few pages ago but I wanted to bring it up again.

It is impossible to answer a call. I tried turning on and off the Slide to Unlock with no luck. In fact, when I have it on, it doesn't even show the S2A. It just shows who is calling me.

A few notes:

-The S2A DID work for the first few hours and I have no idea why it stopped but I haven't been able to fix it.

-I have a Sprint Touch Pro with the latest Mighty ROM.

Thanks in advance.

edit: I solved my own problem! :)

The skin I used didn't include the S2A images and all I had to do was copy/paste it from the original skin.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bensegar:
Awesome workaround, thank you. I use soft-reset all the time, so its not really applicable for me, but thank you for helping. Throttlelock is freeware, but no source code right? I say that because I am a Graduate Developer and I want to try out some new stuff :-P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
hey apbilbo

could you perhaps look into this problem?

it is a bug with the automatic lock setting amd galarm

after a galarm activates, TL will automatically lock, even though it is disabled in settings

here is what ageye said (he developed galarm):

yes, g-alarm closes throttlelock upon start and launches it afterwards.

can you please contact ThrottleLock because I think it should check its settings when the .exe is launched.

any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] X2D:
There's no way to make this app unlock with an " X " gesture which would entail releasing one gesture and instead make it a two step swipe? Does that make sense?

I know you're not catering to every little need but this may provide you with a challenge and would open up new gesture support like 2-3 or more different swipes in the combination, to create a multi swipe possible locking system? Just a thought =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] igavio:
How do you de-activate

I load ThrottleLock only when I leave my phone unattended.

When I return, I wish to de-activate ThrottleLock (actually to stop the program from running in the background). I unlock it with the gesture, but the program remains running. It will lock sometime later. HOW do I stop it from running?

BTW, where is info about Exit on Hibernate, Show Slide2Answer, Haptic interface ?

I´m trying to edit a bit the TL Screen so it displays also the date on the screen like in my Today screen (pics attached).

I found the skin file on the default folder but unfortunately I´m not really familiar with xml editing...

This is what I found regarding the Clock:

<param name="ClockFont" value="38,false" />

<param name="ClockFormat" value="dd MMM yyyy" />

<param name="ClockFormat" value="HH:mm" />

Could anybody tell me, especially you APBilbo :-) ) wheter is it possible to include the date by simply adding a new "param name" or is it really not as simple as I think...

Hi,

I use this nice program, but I have one problem;

In the settings have I chose for 'On call: Unlock'.

I have than the call screen from HTC. That is good.

The problem is dat when the caller hang up, and I haven't called the telephone unlocked is.

Now can de phone in my pocket do all, but the screen is not locked.

Can Trottlelock activated after the call? Than is my phone locked and can't do all in my pocket.

(sorry for my bad English)

i agree with this. it would be awesome if throttlelock activated when you miss a call. perhaps there's a way just to go back to standby if a call is missed?
