whoa looks great, this is really one of the better lock apps and it's development has just started so it can only get better..

I do see u incorporated a slide-to-answer in the latest throttlelock, but the ignore slide is on the left and answer is on the right, while on the original diamond slide-to-answer, to answer you slide left and to ignore you slide right.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stevesrjr:
I dont know if this is a common problem.. But when i press the power button and the screen comes on the lock app doesnt show right away. Also when i get a phone call it messes up answering the phone. I have a tytn with 6.1 and tf2d reloaded 1.1. Im using the tf2d colored keypad. Any help would be nice. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eastmushu:
Hi APBilbo,

Would you be including the ability to include date/day on the lock like v0.3 in your next version?

Also while v0.4 works more or less perfectly on my TyTN II (with the exception of the immediate triggering of the another instance of throttlelock after unlock every now and then), there's a cosmetic problem when used on a WVGA screen i.e. X1.

The problem here is the duplicate of operator name after the battery bar icon i.e. on mine it reads as M1-3GSM M1-3GSM instead of M1-3GSM only like in the qvga devices...

It's nothing that hurts though...

Using custom 6.1 rom on vogue - using it fine. Doesnt really work well on a "call status" basis, but is still nice on just the basic lock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roleeka:
Hi Guys!

First of all thx this great app.

But I have a question. I installed the program and it works corectly but when a call comes the grenn key doesn't answered. I have a HTC Artemis.

How can i setup when somebody call me my green key will anwsere.

And how can i setup when i talk somebody the program doesn't lock my screen?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bronko_1993:
i have the same problem too, using a hermes. anyway, can I disable the caller ID function when my device is locked? i don't like it, but i do love the application. anyway, i'm waiting for the next release. great job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hacqua:
First, thank you for all you work!

Just a suggestion: it would be awesome if we could specify a time period (1h, 2h etc) before the next automatic lock occurs, like we can do with the system lock screen. I think an easy way to accomplish this would be to store the last time the screen was unlocked and then compare it every time the device wakes up, and activate the lock only if the period has elapsed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
any news on the upcoming features?

those slide 2 answer buttons look actually nice .... to bad they are already implemented in 2.03 stock roms by htc :P

what about sound profile changing? is this feature coming too in the next release?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jfolliard:
help = new with throttle lock

just installed this program but couldn't find an instruction txt. I have a Mogul 6800 WM 6.0.

1. Can't seem to figure out how to edit my pattern once set. I've tapped and held for 2 seconds everywhere on my screen but nothing happens.

2. When unlocked - I've drawn my pattern across the screen but nothing happens?

I must be missing something very fundamental.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bububang:
version 0.4 really nice.

But there is 1 time i was unable to pick up call. so i uninstalled s2u2.

Until 1 day, the TL program "freeze" but the clock still moving. I was unable to input any pattern.

It occur when , the screen is locked (incoming sms x2)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ozkarah:
great application but I have two problems with tlock on HTC Touch Diamond:

1- Clock is not updated: look at your clock -> Close your screen with power button -> wait 2-3 minutes -> open again with power button -> look at the closck on tlock, it shows the time you had closed the screen -> touch anywhere on the screen -> clock is updated

2- with transparent themes I have a smilar problem. Screen shown behind tlock is from the time of screen close. it is only updated when pattern is entered and tlock disappears

thanks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
i hav one gripe!!!!!!!!

PLEASE PLEASE fix this.. other than this it is a GREAT app

even though i enable DO NOT SHOW UP AUTOMATICALLY (which I assume should turn off its activation when you come out of standby).... it still comes up when i come out of standby!

please fix this.. i love the app.. but it is so annoying that this function keeps reenabling itself after about three times of coming out of standby

it shows up unselected in settings.. like it should be disabled.. but it keeps showin up automatically regardless, the only way to fix this is softreset.. and then it starts coming back up again automatically after a while

hope you will be able to fix this soon!

thanks

options

Throttle lock would be much more useful than s2u2 if it had optional settings like s2u2 had. Any chance of a similar settings list in the future?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ozkarah:
isn't there anyone with the same problem? someone please confirm me.. am I the only one with this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Tlock 0.5 Released!!! :). Please give me your feedback ;).

I know there are still some features to implement.... Please be patient. Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brshk1:
Working on a Kaiser.

I like the new appearance and the slide 2 answer feature. Good that red and green buttons can still be used.

I hope that for next version, the phone doesn't lock when a call is in progress if "lock on call" is disabled. It's the only thing I miss and surely it will be one of those features waiting to be implemented. But overall it's great. APBilbo, where do you find time for such an amount of excellent work?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
keygen

hi good idea putting in the keygen bit but where do you out the regestration file?

no where does it say or allow you to import/ enter data for it

otherwise very cool app liked it as i thought one very cool feature of android and now stops people fiddling with my phone if i leave it lying around!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike21pr:
whats the default unlock pattern when you install the app?? cuz i installed this and got locked out of the device. I had to deletesomefiles via activesync to be able to have access to the device.

i Just dont want this to happen again...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tman1425:
.5

Having some problems on my Fuze. It seems as though implementing its own slide to answer seemed to mess up the slide to answer that was already on my phone making it difficult to answer calls. Also, when I answer a phone call, the lock screen is still in front of the dialer. So it seems as though the "lock on call" option is not working properly. Thanks for the good work though. I absolutely love this idea and cant wait for a final version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike21pr:
does anyone know if the slide2answer can be moved to the bottom???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brsev:
I second this problem on my Vogue (QVGA, HTC, XV6900, Touch CDMA), which uses the offical slide to answer feature from Opal PhoneCanvas. The phone buttons don't work when enabled, and the screen flickers between the two different sliders (neither of which actually answer the call). Hopefully this gets worked out, the new features seem great.

Even removing the S2A graphics had little effect, it was very difficult to answer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
I'm glad it's working OK for you :-). Note that you may have to softreset to refresh the "lock on call" disable feature (though it might be a bug of the version... I'll check it).

Thanks!!

The way to install the key is here ;):

http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/licensingsystemmenu

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

There's not default unlock pattern... it ask's it when you first start the app. Although if you have a previous instaltion the unlock pattern was the one of the last version.... You can remove the lockcode.txt file to reset it...

That's really weird... I've tried it on my Omnia and on my Herald (with the opal phone canvas cooked in the ROM) and also in the VGA emulator and it works perfectly on all of them (sometimes the footer with the answer appears for some reason).... I'll try to review my code to see if there's something wrong...

Thanks for the report!

Nope :(.... The layout is fixed right now... Sorry...

Same as above... it's weird... I've tried it on my herald with the opal phone canvas... I'll review the code ;). Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Just started playing around with this app. Thanks for the update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tman1425:
Also, this might help you to identify the problem, but when I make a phone call and the screen goes into standby, the lock screen covers up the dialer when I turn the screen back on while the call is still in progress. So the lock screen seems to always cover up the dialer. Anways, keep up the good work and hopefully you work this out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] studentjunk:
excellent program

excellent program. i've tried the 0.4 version & 0.5 version. the only thing which precludes me from using it regularly is the fact that there is no timeout setting. I think it would be helpful if the program went back to standby after 10-15 seconds of not unlocking. sometimes my phone turns itself on in my pocket and i lose a lot of battery
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bronko_1993:
hey APBilbo. thanks for the update, anyway, can the slide2answer feature become disabled?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vietk:
Hi

I was running 0.4 with a 4,4 matrix for my pattern.

I uninstalled this version and then upgrade to 0.5.

I launched the config tool and I've been asked for the pattern ... but I can't input my pattern because ThrottleLock display a 3,3 matrix, so my phone is locked

I would like to delete the file to delete the pattern, but I can't because my phone is configured to not run active sync and act as a usb storage and I installed ThrottleLock on the phone memory.

Any help ?

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thanks!! Hope you are enjoying it :).

The lock always jumps in when the device is in stand by mode.... I've to solve that with a delay... Thanks! ;)

Thanks! I'll try to implement it in a further version ;).

You can use and old skin or remove all the files begining with S2A from the skin.... though I'm not sure how it will behave...

Ops... this is really a pain.... Do you remember wich was your locking pattern with the 4x4 pattern? if you where not using the last 6 points (redin from top to bottom and left to right) you can reproduce it with 3x3 matrix... If you are using those points... then your best change is to try to quickly open the device explorer and remove the lockcode.txt file....

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the inconvenience....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bronko_1993:
i tried it and yes the slide2answer feature doesn't work anymore, but now i can't see who's calling me when i use an old skin. any idea?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vietk:
Héhé :D

I was using this pattern (follow the number)

1 4 x x

2 3 x x

x x x x

x x x x

So I think I am screwed :D

Will try your suggestion about the device explorer ... but it seems that a hard reboot is the best way out this

Great app anyway, I promise it will the first app I will reinstall if I am forced to do a hard reboot

Rgds
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rexriver:
I just upgraded to version 0.5 and I´m loving it.

No slide to answer probs on my Touch dual so far :)

Congratulations for this great app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
You're not screwed :).

Try this one :) in 3x3....

1 X X

2 4 X

X 3 X

Thanks for the feedback!! Glad it's working for you :-).

I'll check it.... May I ask why you don't want the S2A? Note that you still can unlock the screen using the dots ;-) (even if they are hiden by the contact photo...).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] igal_f:
hi,

great application. i installed 0.5 and it's working great on my touch diamond with the slide2answer.

i would like to add some suggestions :

1. on power on - not to lock (only on income call).

2. from standby pulling the stylus out - not to lock.

thank's again for this great software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vietk:
Too late ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brshk1:
Hi again, APBilbo

After a normal day with the phone, I have more feedback. Although the caller id appears when the phone is throttlelocked and receives a call, no notification is shown if it is already unlocked. Does Throttlelock disable some notifications? And if so, is there any way to reactivate them without conflicts with TL's own notifications?

About the Lock on Call feature, my problem is the same as the one reported by tman1425. I suggest a solution based on detecting whether there is an ongoing call when the phone goes into stand-by. The delay could be a temporary workaround for most of the calls, but not for those to the average technical support ;)

Anyway, I still think that Throttlelock is great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rexriver:
Hi again,

When the screen goes on it only updates the clock but not the battery status. It displays always a fully charged battery.

The battery status is only updated once the screen is touched. This happened also on version 0.4 (tested on Trinity with WM5 and Touch dual with WM 6.1)

It´s a very minor bug and just pointed it out for the record...

Otherwise runs perfectly on the mentioned devices :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
would it be possible to implement the option to disable throttlelock call function.. so it is simply just a lock function?

i ask because i have s2u2 running as the caller id, and then throttlelock as the unlock2exe

the only problem is sometimes throttlelock will start misbehaving and activate automatically, even when that function is disabled, and sometimes will then be locked on call, and ill have to unlock and then answer the call

so would it be possible to fix the automatic function and/or disable the call function introduced in v5?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arody21:
nice

nice app a work nice thc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Installed .5 and it works like a charm. Loving this app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
I'll take that in account for further developing ;-). Thanks!

Sorry to hear that :-(

I can try to separate the S2A feature from the lock... If the phone is not locked then after answering the lock screen will be closed automatically (configurable).. This has the drawback of unwanted cheek clicks when you talk... I'll also try to restore the notifications back when the lock is released...

Thanks!

This is weird... I've checked this in the emulator (where you can change battery quickly ;)) and it worked... I'll double check... Thanks!

I'll check that, thanks!

Thanks! :)

Great!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zodiac:
Hey APBilbo, thanks so much for this cool app. I have just 3 issues:

1) I just upgraded from 0.4 to 0.5 and I have that problem that Brshk1 has with no notification of an incoming call if the phone is in normal use (eg. while playing solitare or just surfing the web). The ringtone does sound and it vibrates, but the 'incoming call'-screen with caller ID and number does not pop up.

2) Another thing I noticed: after uninstalling 0.4, the throttlelock.exe link was still in the Windows\Startup\ folder.

3) I haven't really noticed an increase speed with 0.5, when I get an incoming call and the phone has been in suspended mode for about half an hour, it lags for about 2 seconds, then throttlelock pops up and the ringtone sounds with a stutter in the beginning. But I also had this in v 0.4. If you have any recommendations to make it lighter, I'd be glad to hear about them.

Oh.. I'm running WM 6.1 on a QVGA device: the HTC Artemis.

Thank you very much again and I'll keep using this great piece of software. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I have installed this nice application and i like it. I was looking for a replacement for s2u2, with as much as possible transparent look so that i can see my today background below. Is there a skin with as most transparent look and maybe also transparent and small buttons?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thanks!! About 1rst problem, I'll try to tweak it for next release... Number 2 is fixed on 0.5 ;) and number 3, I have to check it... The speed improvements are in graphics rendering but not in locking.... I'll try to add some speed up for next releases ;).

Thanks!!

Note the transparency is fake... So the date behing the app will not be updated. Windows Mobiles, afaik, does not support transparent windows (as it does not render windows hiden by other windows). Sorry.. :-(

Although if this is not a problem for you, you can change the png graphics to make it fully transparent ;). I think there's a fully transparent background somewhere in this thread... (sorry I don't remember where...)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatso485:
really like this but i have two things that i would like to be implemented(or at least considered) in future versions if possible:

1. an option to automatically hide the blue line as you are drowning your combination. should look much cooler and its more secure in case someone looks at your combinations as they they have a much higher chance of not remembering or figuring out your combination.

2. an option to increase the register area around the points(if thats what they call it). this should help greatly in inputing the combination faster especially on relativly small screens. im spending more time than i should unlocking my xperia because i have to be extra slow and carful.

also, why are some people using this AND s2u2. APBilbo, how about you talk to a_c and procuce an application that combines both functions
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ultravox:
Hi.

Great work, but I had to uninstall it on my Universal (6.1 ROM) because sometimes phone radio turns off when receiving a call.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kingofdachevy:
this is a great app I think most of the concerns would be resolved if somehow s2u2 was compatible or combined with throttlelock it would be nice to have the option to use the slider or the grid for unlocking then still have the s2a feature of s2u2 just a though but nevertheless great app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I have experienced now several times the problem that at start up a notification pops up with either "Cannot open 'ctlpnl'...." or "Cannot open 'lockdemon'..." or "Cannot open 'ThrottleLock'..." and the program does not load.

Anyone has seen that too?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jokes On You:
Would it be possible to have in the next release to have a timed lock? Such as after 3 hours throttle lock activates?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] band27:
The timed lock would be the next logical step as it becomes a tedious to unlock every minute. I agree...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi!

Do you have it installed on storage card or similar?

Thanks for the comment ;). I'll think of it...

Which media did you have the app installed to?

Hi!

Thanks for the feedback! You can achieve point 1 with current version ;). Just replace the lines png's for transparent dots (1x1 transparent png image). About number 2... the area is as big as possible to enable the horizontal patterns.... each point has a circular area where it detects the point is clicked (it has nothing to do with the circle that appears when you click on the point as that's only a picture)....

I'm working on it;). It will take the time stamp when the device turns off, and if it turns on before an stablished timeout the device will not be locked, if it's after the lock will popup....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shariqkhan1:
slide to answer is lagging can caller id issues

Thanks a million for a great application. It always makes people wow when they see it on my phone.

I had installed the 0.4 version on my HD but it had issues with the builtin caller ID of HD so I removed it.

Now i have installed the version 0.5. This works great but the slide to answer doesnt work at times. Sometimes you need slide a few times and it still doesnt answer and the the builtin hd caller id kicks in and messes up things. I just use the hard button to answer but it would be great if slide to answer is fixed.

Also i have noticed that the version 0.5 is a lil slow and cause me to enter a wrong pattern. anyone noticed that?

Thanks again and keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
No, i have it installed in device memory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bruins6020:
I absolutly love this program. I had .4 installed and was mostly happy with it. I installed .5 and when entering my pattern the screen seems way less responsive than it was with .4. Did anything as far as the responsiveness change or am I imagining things. I am using a Touch HD by the way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0nkeyman:
I have used throttle lock from the start and have found this faster than the rest in way of lock start up. Only problem is when I get a incoming call on my diamond the slide to answer seems to fight with normal answer screen and I end up missing calls sometimes.

Keep up the good work and thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ultravox:
Just HS++ and mortscript.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] charm1718:
I have the same problem on Sprint Touch pro
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shariqkhan1:
I have the same problem. The touch screen for pattern recognition has become less responsive and also i missed most of my calls cause i can neither use the HD slide to answer of the throttlelock slide to answer. Sadly and with a heavy heart had to disable this application :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vietk:
I didn't really notice that the pattern recognition is less responsive in 0.5 (maybe a little bit) but what annoys me is that when I receive a call I had to fight also with S2A.

Sometimes the phone starts to ring just 2 seconds before the call is missed. I have the feeling that is not waking up is a good shape when on an incoming call.

(Didn't notice that with 0.4)

Keep up the good work !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wetete:
Same problems as above with a Touch HD: Slow and answer slider not showing. Just got rid of 0.5 and re-installed 0.4. All back to normal.

i'm facing lot's of glitches when using the program with the slide 2 answer dialer on my touch pro ... my screen keeps switching while the phone is ringing between the my dialer and the caller id(which is disabled) from the throttle lock ... which makes it immpossible to answer by touching the screen and have to use the hardware keys...

i really like the app and i hope for an update Very Soon
