OK, I appreciate that it is not possible to update the today screen under a transparent background.

However, would something like this be feasible? Where the throttlelock application only pops up when the screen or a button is pressed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omgwiiso:
great app!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sulehri:
Thankyou for this great app.

Im facing a problem. Whenever someone calls me I cant see any id of the person calling me (doesnt matter whether I have enabled throttle lock or not) (I have enabled S2A but there isnt any indication of incoming call when my I-Mate Jaq 3/ Htc Prophet is locked)

Plz help me with this

Regards

I want to first say that this is a great app.

I was wondering if another feature could be implemented in the next version that would allow us to dismiss notifications while throttle lock is on. Right now, when I have a notification popup (ie. I have a meeting in 15 mins), I have to unlock the phone and then dismiss the notification.

I've noticed that if i uncheck "Show Slide2Answer" and "Hide notification", the softkeys popup over throttlelock to allow me to answer the phone. I was wondering if this could also be done for the "dismiss" softkeys that show up during a notification.

It would be cooler if somehow the notifications could be integrated into throttlelock in some form
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nthdgreee:
This solves my daily need of locking my device when it's not in use or not directly attended by me. And it does it in cool way, e.g. I don't have to punch in boring numbers.

As a suggestion, can you incorporate a "Lock Device Automatically" function after so many minutes have occurred. Sometimes in meetings I get several emails over a period of 5 minutes. Once I read one, and the phone goes off it's locked right away and I have to unlock it for the next email. If I could just set the phone to lock after, let's say five minutes, then that would provide a little more flexibility you have to access the phone right away.

Maybe some options like: 5 sec, 30 sec, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes 30 minutes, 1 hr etc.

Great App. Thank you.

Just installed it on my Omnia as the default locking system was somehow constantly getting unlocked in my pocket. Tried S2U2, but found it to be a bit too buggy for my liking and overcomplicated in the Options area.

So far ThrottleLock 0.6 runs great! However, I absolutely cannot get it to take the license file. I've tried this so far:

- Downloaded ThrottleLock.ths it via my laptop, then copied it to my phone in the /Program Files/ThrottleLock/ folder, soft reset, still Unregistered.

- Downloaded ThrottleLock.ths it via Opera on my phone, then copied it /Program Files/ThrottleLock/ folder, soft reset, still Unregistered.

- Noticed Windows Mobile either truncated or is hiding the .ths extension so I added it. Soft reset, still unregistered.

Yes, I downloaded the license for ThrottleLock and not ThrottleLauncher.

Is there anyway to disable screen rotation when ThrottleLock is on? It would be a nice option...

Also, what standard is the ClockFormat parameter using? I'm a PHP/Perl person so I generally use their date variables. Ideally, I'd love this display:

7:09:41 PM

May 13th, 2009​

Not sure how to get a line return in there if it's even possible.

One other small issue, I did have to uninstall .NET 3.5 to get the slide to answer feature working. I'm curious tho - why is the slider on the top?? My thumb is nowhere near that slider when I'm holding my phone (or any phone for that matter) so is it possible to put the pic on the top and the slider on the bottom?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tman1425:
Anyone aware of any updates? Seems like this project kinda died...I was really loving all the new features :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi!

this is not death :). In fact I'm working on a little update right now... I just have too much projects to work in and too little time ;). I'll keep you updated. Thank you for the interest!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tman1425:
Thanks for the update. Take your time...I didn't mean to rush you or anything. I just needed to know that there is something to look forward to :) Keep up the awesome work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dynomite232:
cant wait for the newest update be awsome to try :) this is all i use
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sporkman:
any good touch pro skins to match the green/black theme
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
New GSensor based 3D Eye Tracking effect on 0.7!!!

Check the Video here:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GriFolle:
Alfonso please...is it possible to add a function to display the appointments on front of the lock screen? Dunno where...maybe instead of the clock, maybe under it, really don't know!

I just know that I like A LOT throttle lock but "I can't use it" because I need the fabulouse (imho) ability of s2u2 to display appointments/tasks...

TIA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dynomite232:
can't wait to give this a shot ThrottleLock 0.7 3D "Eye Tracking" effect

THE VIDEO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tman1425:
Wow! 0.7 looks amazing.

Can give a list of some of the new features? Will it have to option to stay unlocked whenever a call is taking place? That was the biggest issue for me. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onlinespending:
Looks great. Please try to include a way to disable ThrottleLock when in the middle of a call with this release. It's annoying to have to unlock to be able to access your keypad. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi!

I think I can add an option to show them ;).

thanks!

Thanks! I hope to have it available soon!

Hi!

That will be included :). Also many improvements, specially in the S2A responsiveness...

Thanks!

I will do that :)

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xcopmanx2:
Alfonso, another suggestion: Is it possible to add a option so that you can view a preview of the incoming SMS. That way, I don't need to unlock the phone to see what someone has texted me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tman1425:
I agree! This is in the new version of S2U2 and is a very nice feature. You may want to check that out and possibly add that into future releases. Keep up the good work!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
hey apbilbo, great you found some time to work on this lovely app again :)

as far i can remember, you've told us months back, that you were planing to include functions like changing soundprofiles and so on ... are this kind of functions still coming?

the idea of showing appointments and sms previews sounds great :)

anyway, this 3d eye tracking effect looks great ... will there be the possibility to turn it off or is it by design now? i'm afraid it's gonna drain the batteries too much :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Sorry for the delay in answering... I've been working too hard to give you what you asked for ;). There you are 0.7!!!! :).

It's included in 0.7 :).

Done! :)

Mmmmm.... that will interfer in the locking target of ThrottleLock. I mean... locking is meant t grant that you don't perform actions by accident while your device is on your pocket for example. If you can use Tlock to change profile then it will "break" that rule....

Showing appointments and SMS is included in 0.7 :).

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
I've commited an error in the uploaded cab file... Please if you have installed it and it has not asked you for a new patern but asked you for the correct one... The pattern is a diagonal starting from the first point and ending in the third of the third collumn....

Sorry.... I'm uploading the cab again...

Edit: Solved, please reinstall if you have encountered problems with unlocking...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gfandrea:
i tryed the 0.7 version... and i dont now why, but is very slow... the 3d eye tracking dont work very good... and i cant select the skin, the "lock mode" and the " when incoming call..."

i really like your software, but i cant use it like is now...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bstylz911:
hey you kno wa u should try doing?

hooking up with the creator of Nitrogen and make a music player along wif throttlelock

this is one reason why i dun use ur program

because everytime i put my music player on standby it locks making me always unlocking my phone to change the song
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
And again an awasome job APBilbo , you have done it again, nice job bro.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bstylz911:
oww and another thing

when recieving calls it hangs a lil bit when i anwser

anyway to fix on next updatE?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tman1425:
This is a very nice update! Good work. One issue is that it still locks while on a call. When I recieve a call, the screen turn off and if I turn it back on it remains unlocked. However, if the screen remain off for a few minutes and then I turn it back on, it seems to relock itself. Not sure what's going on:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
Why I haven't installed it:

Because Windows Mobile 6.5 (for the Wing) already has a screen lock :)

But nice app, the 3d thing would be cool. If only I had a gsensor. Then I would install the app :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi!

Thank you very much for the feedback! Wich device are you on? The slow down may be fue to the 3d effect.... have you tried disabling it? You can do that in the config dialog :).

Hi!

ok, that's something on my TODO list... an app exclusion list ;). That will solve the nitrogen issue...

The hang when incomming call arrives is with S2A, right? I'll try to improve it for next release ;).

Thank you!!

Thanks! :)

Thank you very much tman!

I'll check "the lock during on a call" issue... I really though it was solved in this release :(. Could you send me your config.xml file to see your settings?

Thanks!

Hi!

thanks for telling me :). May be some day you will get a device with GSensor and you'll give TLock a try ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gfandrea:
I have htc touch HD with wm 6.1.

is slow only with 3d effect, but i tryed this app mostly for the 3d.. so if is slow... Thanks for the reply!

(the graphics on the HD is not very good, is becouse is not a wvga skin?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
I'll try to improve it for further releases...

Thank you very much!

Thanks! There's not way currently to speed up the 3d effect :(. I will try to work on it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
settings seem to be pretty buggy here on my diamond :(

grid size doesn't match... on screen i have 3x3 in the settings 4x4

dropdown menus are not shown, the same goes for the idletime button wich disappears (see screenshot)

sms preview isn't working for me somehow
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zepiii:
What about a player music plugin ;)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
You're right... please try the attached dll replacing the one in your ThrottleLock folder...

I'll update the cab file ASAP.

Mmmmm... I don't see too much space there for a player plugin... Do you mean a display of wich song is currently playing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
tried the new dll ... the problems still occur. didn't have the chance to test the sms preview yet

actually it seems like the new dll messed up everything here

i can't select anything in the settings anymore!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akirasport:
"Idle time before lock" does not seem to be working

The "idle time before lock" function does not seem to be working. What are the units of the numbers (minutes, hours, days =) )? I've set the value to "1" and it doesn't seem to lock.

Also, is it possible to move the clock from the center to the location where the carrier ID is (next to the signal meter)? The reason why is that with too many icons on top, they start to overlap with the clock.

But I still got to say that this is an awesome app. =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jakkuz:
Same on my Touch HD, secondary, setting gloss skin causes program crashing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi!

Sorry... you're right... the dll was the same one :o... Please try installing this CAB:

http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/phocadownload/ThrottleLock/ThrottleLock0.7.1.cab

(if anyone has VGA or wVGA device, please install this one also ;) )

Hi!

Thanks for the comments :). The timeout is measured in minutes. It starts counting from the switchoff event. It will not count if the device is idle but on....

The layout configuration is something I have to work on still... Right now there's no way to control the clock placement :(. You can make it disapear completly by setting the fontsize to 1.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Please try the updated CAB. in the previous post.

P.S. Sorry for the double post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bootheresa:
Sorry if I missed it. But how do you change it from 24hr to 12hr format?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tman1425:
sms preview

Everytime I get a new sms, it previews the same message over and over. Example: I get an sms and preview it within TL. Then I open the message and dismiss the notification. Now whenever a new message comes in it will always show the first original message...:confused: Any thoughts?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akirasport:
Open up the skin.xml file found in the folder of the skin.

change:

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

to:

<param name="ClockFormat" value="h:mm tt" />
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
thanks for the fast fix apbilbo! :)

it's working like a charm again! now i can select the old theme again :P

sms preview still doesn't work here ... :/ any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Has anyone tested the DefaultVGA theme in HTC GSensor enabled device? Is it working faster?

Great! :).

About the SMS preview... theorically it has to work out of the box... I'll have to check it in code..

Thanks!

That's right :).

Mmmm..... weird... Does it refresh if you shutdown ThrottleLock? (by saving settings for example)

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peste19:
great application....

i am having a problem with this release, i cant make it remember the settings or am i doing something wrong?

i go to throttlelock settings and change the settings i want such as lock on startup and when it hibernates, and i press exit but it doesn't lock anymore.... when i go back in to the settings, it still has the original settings and not the ones i inputted. Using touch pro with win 6.5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zepiii:
Yeah, and be able to control volume, play pause / next song like in S2U2 with S2P ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hehehe ;). You have not readen the highlighted with heading important of the download page:

Important: In the config dialog you must click the top right OK button to save the changes. The exit soft key just exit the application without saving.

I will change it in next releases to ask to save if some settings have changed... I know it's a little bit confusing as it is now ;).

Ok, I will think of it ;).

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peste19:
I am having problems, it doesnt lock after it comes from hibernate and not locking after a couple of seconds
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Please, could you post your config.xml file? (Inside a zip for example? ).

Note that you have to enable autolock in the settings dialog ;). Also ensure you don't have a big value for the lock timeout.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peste19:
like requested it is attached
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thanks!

Ok, as it is configured and if you have the Lock automatically ON. Throttlelock must lock automatically whenever you turn on your device leaving a minimum of 1 minute after the preious turn off... If you want to see it lock automatically when you turn of the device, set the timeout to 0 and activate "Lock automatically" in the settings app ;).

Let me know if this works...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peste19:
i tried a soft reset and it fixed my problem, thanks for all of your help. continue the great work...

Now have to get me some skins for it :) by the way does the skins for the previous versions work with this? just want to be sure, before i mess it up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
I'm glad to hear that :). Previous skins should be compatible, though the default one graphics will be used in notifications dialog and some other new features...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike freegan:
Hi great work on this! Is there an option to use the Windows Taskbar instead of the throttlelock one like in old builds?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akirasport:
Some issues i'm having:

1.Is anybody having problems with the Active Task notification? For some reason, the notification shows my tasks from 2 weeks ago rather then the current ones.

2. I can only slide down to access the notifications. Listed below is what i see when i slide down to access the notifications and the following situations of what notifications are present

calendar + task = "Next Appointment"

task = "Active Task" (but tasks are very old)

task + calendar notification pops up, when i create a new appointment on the same day) = "Active Task"

I hope all of this makes sense.

Thanks APBilbo for the app. It just keeps getting better and better
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] illi:
Hello APBilbo

- If you like it but you will not use it, please tell me why.

The Home screen is obliterated. I would prefer to have a complete view of the Home screen while it is locked.

Here's my suggestion:

Lock the screen in the normal way leaving complete view of the Home screen. To unlock, touch the soft left key which says "Unlock". This action brings up the ThrottleLock screen with its unlocking pattern.

I am not a programmer, but I think you can do it.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rohanmaini:
Gr8 application... loving it... only problem I have is that I cannot mute the ringer a incoming call....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi Mike!

Note that allowing the task bar is a security hole and also allows clicking on it. I think you can show it by changing the skin.xml file ;), but this haven't been tested for a while so I'm not sure if it will work...

Hi!

thanks for the report! There are some issues indeed with the notifications... SMSs and Mail are incorrect (they don't update), I will check the ordering of the tasks ;). About the notifications order, you can slide your finger over the header (or the clock) from left to right / right to left to go from one to another ;).

Thanks!

Hi Illi!

thank you very much for sharing your point of view. I really apreciate this kind of comments. I know that that will be a great way of integrating a lock screen :), the problem is that there's no way I know to hook the "mouse" events.... so the only way to lock is placing a window over the full screen area, thus hiding the today screen :(....

Thanks!

Hi!

Wich kind of lock mode have selected? If you have all buttons please try "All but phone buttons". I think that mode will enable you to silence the call ring ;).

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] o.k.:
lockdemon remains in startup

Hi,

Nice program.

One thing noticed -- after removing the program some link, pointing to lockdemon.exe stays in startup, causing error popup after soft reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dekeijzer:
Will this app also show the latest message right when it is recieved?

I think a lot of the s2u2 features can be implemented to make this app better :)

I prefer pattern unlocking. But the s2u2 feature of showing a preview right when the message is recieved is plain awesome :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akirasport:
Oh..ic

I was confused about how to get to the notifications. I wasn't sliding across (Left to Right/Right to Left) when the notification was present. Thanks for the clarification =)

Would it be possible in the future to have multiple appointments show up in the Appointment Notification. The idea would be that if you have more appointments then could be shown in the box, then you could kinetically scroll through them. To close the notification, you could tap outside the notification box.

Again..I have no idea if this is feasible (or how difficult) this would be to do implement since I have zero programming experience. But i suppose it would be "icing on the cake" on this app

Thanks =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
there is a misspelling on the appointment preview (yes i got it finally to work :P)

Weiter sppointment ... the correct translation would be "Nächster Termin" :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rohanmaini:
Yup, I can mute incoming calls this way... but the I loose the main purpose of using such a lock program, Since all the buttons are unlocked, I can still accidentally reject a call while taking the phone out of my pocket...

It would be gr8 if only the volume buttons could be left unlocked while locking all other buttons... I think (not tested) the such an option is available with "pocket shield"... shall test this out and come back to you...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cadenza:
Hehe, sorry that I post even before I downloaded the app, but I found an (I think) very important point on your homepage. I quote: "This app is provided 'As Is' and I take NOW responsibility of possible harm or lost of data derived from it's use." I think you meant "no responibility";) So, I'll test it now:):) Im veeeery exited, the youtube-vid is great!!!!

greets^^
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cadenza:
feedback

somehow, I have many problems:( first, the 3D effect is way not as beautiful as in the youtube-vid.. Really, dunno why, but I see too much the two layers and for me it doesn't really look like 3D anymore.... I have a Blackstone with WM6.5 (Miri v.14), I think my ROM is causing the most problems, cause its also quite slow in my eyes. Not the unlocking, this is responsive and very good, but the time after enetring the code, about 2 seconds, this is too long for me. But I could live with that. So, then my "problem" is, I disabled the 3d effect, but I dont like that much the default theme, its kind of childish to me with the blue sky. No prob, so I changed the theme to htctoucher's theme. Yeah, and then I saw that its not compatible to my screen resolution (I suppose its just qvga, I have wvga...). But you didn't wrote this on your page.... So, Im very sorry to offend you now that much, but I was rather disappointed:( Still, Im asking myself, why the youtube-vid looks so much better... I think I have done something wrong.. Ah, and I have one suggestion, I like my phone to be locked when I turn the backlite off with the power button, perhaps you could implement this. So, I hope this feedback helps you, cause the idea is amazing!!! and also the speed when I put the code, is very good! So keep up working, you're on a good way;)

All the best to you and see you hopefully soon^^

greets, cad
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rohanmaini:
Yup... checked it out the options in pocket sheild for button locking are

1. lock all buttons

2. Lock all buttons except volume

3. Lock all buttons except volume & phone (call/end key)

Maybe you can look into incorporating these if its not too much trouble...
