It happens on TyTN II also but why would or rather how would you press the device so long if it's in your bag/jeans?

I always have my TyTN in my pocket and there is so far no problem of accidentally shutting down the phone. Maybe the location of power button for TyTN is different...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] churka:
Great app.

One problem though

How can I make it a 12 hour clock and show the date?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kidnamedAlbert:
tweleve hour colock - open skin.xml and check clockformat to hh:mm or h:mm

hh:mm - 09:56

h:mm - 9:56
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jambaj0e:
I used this for a while, but switched back to S2U2 because this eats up more battery =/

Plus, when I open Throttlelock (not as triggered from having the Power button), the screen doesn't turn off within several seconds like S2U2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
havent noticed any battery drain.. considering it only activates when you turn it on (pretty sure it doesnt run in the background)

I use s2u2 and then have the unlocktoexe function or whatever activate throttlelock.exe

works like a charm!

I get the functionality of s2u2 (appointments, # emails and sms, big customizable wallpaper) with the security of throttlelock (plus once skinned it too is beautiful)!

great stuff APBilbo

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jambaj0e:
I tried using that combination of S2U2 and ThrottleLock back when it was version 0.2, but kept getting the ThrottleLock starting when I'm trying to answer a phone call. Do you have problems when you receive phone calls and not being able to answer because ThrottleLock keeps locking?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] louie1215:
Thought i would add mine in case someone wants.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nickytheshaft:
still no news on if possible to disable the answer button on the touch screen?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JonasSavimbi:
I've installed throttlelock but i see no text... Only the dots...

Can anyone help me plz?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Cool! :). Thank you very much!

I've already answered to this and it's also on the TODO list... Caller id replacement is on it's way ;).

Can you provide a screenshot please? What's your ROM language?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bulltrip:
I dont know... it happens.. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PatrickRiccardo:
When you're done with that, (on 4.1 pherhaps?) this app. will be PERFECT!!

Thank you so much for this!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nickytheshaft:
Thanks APBilbo, can't wait, this is yet the best locker ever.

Keep the good job :D

It doesn't lock the hard buttons!!!!

I like a lot this app but it's useless in my HTC TyTN bcoz it doesn't lock the hard buttons. I tried all options in settings but nothing. I use one hard buttons to run ok/close and another one to run pbar menu, from those two options I can close the app and the phone is unlocked w/out enter the pattern! I'm able to run apps assined to any hard button while the phone is locked and after unlocked the apps are running. I'm missing something? If anybody can help, please!!

Thanks a million.

M2D theme for ThrottleLock [work-in-progress]

Hi there, I've been lurking these forums for a while now, and thought I'd share the beginnings of a blue manila 2d themed skin for ThrottleLauncher. It has all the dots, lines, signal strength, and battery included. The clock and caller id are default.

Anybody know how to change the clock font?

Edit: Thanks to APBilbo for the screenshot:

By the way, this is a great app, and these forums have some amazing stuff on them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onlinespending:
APBilbo,

Not sure if this has anything to do with the slow response I suffer from, but it appears that when there's other apps running or if it the device just woke up, ThrottleLock can lag considerably, to the point where I may have to input my pattern 3 - 5 times before it registers my input correctly. Is it possible that you could change the process priority to run faster?

Also, still would love to have a way to not lock the device when in the middle of a call. In addition to what I've mentioned before, it can be troublesome to end a call, when you have to fumble around and enter your pattern before being able to end it. Although you can use the hardware key to end the call, there are many times when you need to access the keypad in the middle of a call and don't want to struggle entering a pattern. Afterall, when the phone's in your hand there's really no need to secure it. Just turning off the screen to prevent an accidental key press is sufficient and would allow someone to quickly turn it back on to access their device.

Thanks again! If these two issues are fixed, you can bet it'd be a nearly perfect app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thanks!! I love it! Here you have an screenshot ;). Do you mind if I post this skin at my forum?

About your question, here you have the options for the skin.xml ;):

edit: here's the shot:

I'm working on a optimized version of 0.4 with some surprises ;-). I hope it will be available in about 2 weeks... I'll try to solve this problems...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajb303:
Hopfully im not "that" guy haha, but is there a fix for the clock to display the 12 hour format? Also, i think a bug arises when after i comback after hibernate and enter my code quickly. It unlocks then goes back to the lock display. It works fine if i wait a little bit, just fyi :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Weird... I'll check it... About your question ;):
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GriFolle:
Maybe is just because I don't speech english well, but I didn't understood...

Does it lock the screen also when you receive a call (so we are able to answer/refuse using hardware keys) or not?! Moreover...how much battery and program memory does it eats?

PS: I've got a diamond.

TIA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajb303:
Well, I have the Dual but no does not lock when someone calls you. You can hit the F you button lol. :D Doesnt hardly drain battery at all :) I love it :) Defintely a plus that S2U2 didnt have. Little memory is taken. Hopfully this doesnt differ from you having a diamond. I know the s2u2 had to have a couple bugs fixed when using the Diamond.

APbilbo, i opended the skins.xml but all it does is show up a white screen on opera. By the way, i didnt mention it before, but awesome work :D I love it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
To edit the skin.xml file copy it to your PC and then edit it in notepad or something like it.

@GriFolle

There is an option in the config application called "Lock on call" - this should lock your screen when in a call automatically.

I think it locks it once youve accepted the call - so you can use the hardware keys to answer your call.

It uses about 1MB of memory on my phone, so not that much, havent noticed any battery drain, which like ajb303 said, its a plus over S2U2.

Mike.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johnny--2k:
PLEASE HELP!!!

Installed on my touch pro, set my pattern, soft reset, and now my pattern is showing invalid. How can I get this taken care of?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
You might have changed the grid size, try pressing the top left dot and see if that works.

Otherwise, uninstall it, and then do a reinstall.

Mike.

You can also go to the throttlelock folder using windows explorer and look at the config.xml to see what youre pattern is :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chiekh:
Please how to disable the automatically lock without doing soft reset. (at night for the wake up alarm prog.) thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ca3sar:
any reg edit i can do to speed up or we still waiting for that? I love this app but kills me when a text or cal comes in and the delay..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
What do you mean?

You cant exclude programs (yet) so that it doesnt lock when theyre running (if thats what you mean)

I think speed improvements will get better as the application progresses (in development)

What phone have you got?

Its not slow on my little WM5 device with about 15MB of free RAM.

Mike.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eastmushu:
I have this bug too... Only in the recent few days though, it was working prefectly before...

@APBilbo:

Is there an option to display days/dates in v0.4, like it was in v0.3...? Just asking though, I'm more than a happy user of throttle lock...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hood.racer:
Buggy?

every time i use throttle lock i seem to not be able to access my contacts? and niether my phone app would show any contacts like they werent there but if i soft reset w/o using the software contacts are there? as soon as it locks after unlock contacts gone... no access
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JoeSchmoe22:
Very cool

Just a thought, any chance to skin this with an animated GIF. Most likely the developer would have to change the code, but it would be one more step to complete customization. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Thanks for all those amazing skins... Keep it going...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paul_Days:
Great 0.4 runs just fine....

Now...how can i remove the clock and get the: Enter Passcode back?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] riskyrockwilder:
i have a quicj question / request or whatever

on ym phone (htc touch) the biggest problem is answering a call using the touchscreen....its annoying because if the phone is in my pocket and it rings even with the lock on i might accidently hit the answer button on screen or even worse the ignore button

this might be a big request, but is there any way to make it so that u cant answer the phone this way while its locked, so it can ONLY be answered by either unlocking or by pressing the hardware button

also is there an option for the screen to automatically suspend/go blank after a period of time WHILE unlocked, like after a call
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] elazullizard:
I have tried this fix in the XML, but the hours just stay at 24--with the first digit truncated. So, 14:00 --> 4:00:PM.

It should read 2, but it doesn't for some reason... so I changed it back to show all 24 hours.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nickytheshaft:
any news on when version with locket screen answer button will be out?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
sorry, didn't had the time to check the previous posts.

but there are two small things which could be improved.

both things occur on incoming calls.

1. the caller gets first identified as an unknown person, and after a second the actual name+picture gets displayed

2. names and numbers are on top of each other

that's it .. keep up the good work!

i love this app, thanks! :)

Thanks anyway
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eastmushu:
I'm using a TyTN II though but I have no problem... Did you checked the option to lock everything except phone buttons?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nomo:
Yes, I tried that option already but same thing. I'm using HButton to access pbar menu thru hardward button, when the phone is locked I just hit that button & I got pbar menu, so I able to close any running app including throttlelock and the phone is unlocked w/out enter the pattern. That's not suppose to happen. Now, phone is locked I hit messaging & IE buttons the screen doesn't change I still see the dots, then enter the pattern the phone is unlocked and messaging & IE are running. It shouldn't happen either. Also, I use galarm and I have to unlocked the phone first then I able to stop the alarm. I use S2U2 and works fine, I mean, the hardware buttons are locked nothing happens if I hit them when S2U2 is active. The only way to use hardware buttons is after I slice the arrow to unlocked the phone. The same way throttlelock should work.

Thanks for any advice or comments.

Question!

alright i searched this post and i can't find the answer i am looking for. i want to change the text so that it will say something other than enter you pattern (or whatever) but everytime i change it in the text.txt it doesn't work! is there somewhere else i have to edit to make it work or?

thanks!

got another questions! for the next version would you consider adding a second back.png for when the phone is landscaped (for us sliders) so the back doesnt look so weird? thanks again loving throttlelock! i will post mine here soon for all you Kate Beckinsale fans!

Alright i figured out the landscape thing (just made the back.png 640x640) still need to figure out the text though. heres what i got for everyone!

Changing Time Zone

I love this app. At first I thought it was just a tad sluggish. But then I realized it was not slower than the resident 'Simple PIN' lock. Now I am really happy with it. Great work!

One small problem: I found out that when you change the time zone on the clock, ThrottleLock will not automatically follow. It has to be hard-rest to get the correct time on the phone. This could be an area of improvement.

Thank you for a great app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ContraLFE:
is there anyway to get the resolution to be compatible with WQVGA resolutions? I'm using an Omnia (i910), and so far it has worked well. The image clarity isn't right though obviously so I was wondering if there was any way this could be fixed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
good stuff! just started using it - funky lock method + faster than s2u2. like!

EDIT: Would you be able to put in an toggle to activate ThrottleLock when the backlight dims as opposed to when screen powers off? Screen doesn't lock when plug into external power because screen never turns off (even though set up as such in Power)

EDIT 2: Just realised it doesn't work when in landscape mode with keyboard open; I can enter in a pattern but it doesn't unlock
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JukEboXAuDiO:
So is there a way to show how many E-Mails, TXT, missed calls, and weather on it? No? Yes?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildAce786:
Excellent app. and a great upgrade from 0.3.

However, I do have a few issues I'd like to inform you about (which you can hopefully look into for the next version):

1) As a few other people have mentioned, the lock automatically activates whenever a call is connected (whether I am receiving or sending the call).

2) After a call has ended, I have to input my code to the screen back to the phone screen, and then the lock appears AGAIN (once again requiring me to input my code).

3) Lastly, for some odd reason and on occassion, the capacitive touch wheel (HTC Touch Pro Sprint - CDMA) light sensor becomes disabled (that is, it does not sense when my finger/thumb is over the wheel and activates the light indicating the sense). Other times, the backlight on the four hard buttons (home, phone, back, end) stay active even when the phone is in standby mode OR they simply do not activate (much like the touch wheel).

Once again, excellent App. and thank you for taking the time to develop and distribute it. I hope you can resolve most (if not all) of the issues I have stated above.

Is there a way to disable the lock when on a phone call?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toorima_anchuu:
its works fine on my fuze! have you tried adjusting the grid dimensions? or if you have a vga phone, making a skin so that it will give you vga quality? i never tested mine to see if it worked in landscape when i first downloaded it. you actually have to go in and change the values of an xml file to make it display in vga. i have a skin a few posts back that is VGA that you could use, and if you dont like kate beckinsale you could just change the back.png to whatever you like! hope this helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toorima_anchuu:
if you go into configure throttlelock there is a option you just have to uncheck!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] championart:
Others here along with myself can verify that while this option is there, it does not work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toorima_anchuu:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IceEyz:
Same here, I've gone back to S2U2 unfortunately.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildAce786:
Agreeing with toorima_anchuu:

after I unchecked the "Lock on Call" option, ThrottleLock would no longer activate whenever I sent a call, but would activate whenever I received a call (as opposed to activating TWICE whenever I sent or received a call).

Fortunately, this works out to be acceptable because now I only have to worry about pressing a softkey whenever I'm on the phone only half the time :p.

Just so you know, I am using the Sprint CDMA Touch Pro.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] championart:

ThrottleLock0.4 Start Bar display problem

Alfonso - Thanks for all the great work

I've increased the grid size to 5x4 using the default skin and started having a problem with the start bar displaying between the last two rows. Screen attached. Running on ATT Tilt w/ stock rom.

Is there something I can do via config to resolve this?

The start bar persists as I'm entering a pattern, which occasionally makes patten entry difficult. Additionally, the start menu can be opened, and programs launched, thereby defeating the 'security' of the lock.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thehellraiser:
WOW, great :) coooool application ..

thanks dude for sharing this..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Scrtcwlvl:
I too have experienced something similar. It happens from time to time yet for the most part the lock keeps people out.

I have also found if one continuously enters incorrect patterns for a long an rapid enough time (randomly tapping on the screen all over for a few minutes, I was watching TV...) ThrottleLock will actually become overloaded and crash. Allowing a different bypass of the lock.

However, with the start menu chilling there, I have noticed apps are able to be launched but the lock screen remains in front for me, so the lock screen sitll works as designed.

Hey hey,

I like the new look for the ignore / answer screen.

Just a minor request, would it be too much trouble to switch around the tabs for Ignore and Answer (with Answer being on the left-hand side and Ignore being on the right-hand side)? I (and maybe a few others) have become accustomed to that styling and would hate it if I accidentally ignored an important call:eek:. Of course though, it's your program and your call :D.

I'd also like to add to Eric's previous post my 3rd concern:

If this is a problem with ThrottleLock, I hope you can take a look at it.

Best of luck with 0.5.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ca3sar:
any newer version in the works?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diar:
great app, just one issue. sorry if this has been posted already, but i see a possible security flaw.

after entering my pattern, lightly using the device and then relocking it, it is possible to see the pattern in the fingerprint smudges on the screen, because you're basically drawing a shape through the oil left on the screen. so if you did lose your phone, someone could unlock it just by following the smudge trail left on our shiny screens. i imagine if you heavily use the device after unlocking it this is less of a problem because you'll have other smudges but just be aware of it if you quickly check something on your phone and relock it.

anyway, because of that, i've gotten into the habit of wiping my screen after i lock it.

oh, and a feature request: the rotating background images in s2u2 made that app a must for me. there's nothing better than having a new piece of (ahem) eye candy (ahem) every time you look at your phone. is it possible for you to incorporate something like that in throttlelock. thanks.
