Haha - this avatar is my identification mark, whcich makes people know if they see me or just another person with similar nick ;)

OK, EOT :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fiuner:
Yes, probably it is the Touch Pro. Does anyone know how I could disable that "stylus answering" with Touch Pro?

The transcriber, recognition of blocks and recognition of letters using the same library system? When Answerkeys disabler is activated, I can write with the recognition of blocks or recognition of letters but not with the transcriber.

Le transcriber, la reconnaissance de blocs et de la reconnaissance de lettres utilisent le même système de bibliothèque? Quand Answerkeys disabler est activé, je peux écrire avec la reconnaissance de blocs ou de la reconnaissance de lettres mais pas avec le transcriber.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] scolling:
I have to say, I'm still a fan of SensorLock because for me I also have had issues with accidental dialing when the phone is in my pocket - dunno how, but it switches itself on and makes a call, so SensorLock prevents that from happening as well as protecting the incomming call issue.

I also like the fact that if anyone ever stole my phone the likelihood is they wouldn't be able to use it 'cause they'd wouldn't know about SensorLock or how to disable it; the image of them getting more an more frustrated would go someway to overcome how PO'd I would be at them :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Now I understand! No, transcriber does not need the same library as the block/letter recognizer. You can use the block/letter recognizer along with Answerkeys Disabler. However, transcriber does need the same library as Answerkeys Disabler, and are not compatible.

Je comprends maintenant! Non, transcripteur n'a pas besoin de la même bibliothèque que le bloc / lettre de reconnaissance. Vous pouvez utiliser le bloc / lettre de reconnaissance avec Answerkeys disabler. Toutefois, transcripteur n'a besoin de la même bibliothèque que Answerkeys disabler, et ne sont pas compatibles.

SensorLock is very nice as well. Thanks to the open source-ness of both our programs, we can include the good stuff of both. And that's exactly what's happening.

However using one of them for theft prevention is not a very good solution. The thief stealing your phone will undoubtly also know how to hard-reset it. He doesn't want to walk around with your stuff, since then he might be traceable. A better solution for that would be Remote tracker or similar, built into the ROM.

did not work for me

have done a soft reset, tried several installations, still does not work.

did a hard reset, installed advanced config, isilo, lunartilt, before answerkeys disabler install, and soft reset, still cannot get it to work

(orange network unlocked)

did not work for me

i have an original rom, this install did not work for me
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] caldo:
Try v.0.2.1 Is working fine for me... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Could you be a bit more specific? What did not work, what do you expect? Answerkeys Disabler locks the screen on an incoming call, if the screen was turned off beforehand.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
I'm following up on the Homezone issue. I've sent out private messages to three members here that have locking problems in combination with their Homezone number.

If you also have problems with your Homezone number and want to help resolve this issue, please PM me or respond!

0.4.x not working for me

EDIT: Just tried re-installing it once again and it seems to be ok now (!)

I can't get version 0.4.x to working on my Diamond (Dutty's ROM); version 0.3.x was working fine but I like some of the fixes in the newer version.

I've tried uninstalling/resintalling a few times; ran the program manually; soft reset but still no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] birkov10:
Hi drvdijk,

I found something that could be usefull to you, it make possible that you can assign some function to a hardware key:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa922958.aspx

and it is to disable the assignment:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa924438.aspx

The problem is that you need a window, perhaps with a minimized window it works but I don´t know
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Thanks, but...

And they have.. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] e_sela:
Works Great !

Even better than I expected!

Only if the phone is locked (i.e. upper left button) than the answer keys would be disabled.

Amazing software.

Thanks a lot! :)

SwiftBL v70 on diamond

Hi

Has any1 been able to make this work on Diamond with SwiftBL v70 (16mb)???

It says its on, but my screen is not locked (I can press the screen buttons) when a call comes in.

using 0.4.1

Thanks

Issue with usb headset

Im using a TP and the newest version of this software (0.4.1)

When my headset is connected the screen is not locked. In my opinion it would be great if the software would lock the phone until the user powers the device on.

I explain my current situation. I use my device to hear music using my usb headset. The device is in the original case and in my pocket. When a call incomes the device is unlocked and random display hits (touches) are possible.

Fantastic collection. I am using this *.zip file, along with the background changer on page 1. It is nice to have a new wallpaper everytime. I ended up using almost all the the files, I removed approxitimately 9 of the files due to it limiting visibility of the text. Again, great job!

Severe Battery Problems

Hi there! First of all, thank you for your great program.

Unfortunately, I can't run it on my TP because it causes a severe problem:

It drains my battery like crazy. I tested it for 3 days, always with the same result. Even if the battery has like 80% - 90% power left, the phone dies on me within 3-4 hours. Also, the backside of my TP gets very warm when that happens.

I did 2 hardresets already and tracked the issue down to your application. I now have all the programs installed I had before, except for Answer keys disabler, and my phone is running now for almost 48 hours with still 20% of battery left.

Is there any way for you to track down what's causing this problem?

Right now, I'm using S2U2, and it's not quite as good as your app. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tut_Ank:
Same here, Im sill usinsing Answerkeys Disabler (v0.4.1) but the battery is really lasting half of what it did when I used s2u2 or sensorlock (This one I thik was the best for the battery). Im still sticking to yours, but I hope a solution for the battery problem is fixed otherwise Ill switch back to sensorlock with the risk it has to drop the phone....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] manuelcalavera:
it didnt work for me :(

edit : i was testing it in a bad way , i tested it , when my screan was on , its working with display switched off .

tnx ping79
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NoBody20013:
can the battery drain comes from the programm because of always checking for new calls arriving? so the query for the call status uses much power? or something similar?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] krheinwald:
AFAIK the app is not polling for calls. It is idle (=sleeping) until it is woken up by a call event.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Battery drain.. Haven't looked at that in a while, but I still cannot imagine it would drain it. However, if you guys find this to be the case, it is definately necesarry to investigate.

So what does Answerkeys Disabler do?

It sets up a monitor for incoming calls (TAPI). It gets notified of incoming calls. If that's the battery drain, there's nothing we can do about it but use other locking techniques.

It requests notifications for power state changes (i.e. the event that the phone is turned on, off, or the backlight dims, etc). It gets notified of this by means of a message. No polling either. If requesting these notifications is the battery drain, I could remove it alltogether, with the loss of turning off the device after the call connects if the device was off. I could still make it turn off after the device connects, but then it would be regardless if the phone was on before or not.

It listens for stylus change notifications. This monitors a registry entry, and when it changes acts. The program is informed of the change, and does not poll for it. If this is the battery drain, I could of course remove it with loss of a little functionality.

It gets notified if another instance of Answerkeys Disabler tells the active instance to quit. This is the closing mechanism of the program by clicking the application icon again and answering "Yes" to the question if you want to disable the program. It is highly unlikely this is the battery drainer, a lot of programs use similar techniques to quit the program.

Again I still can't imagine that these default waiting techniques cause battery drainage. Anyway, I think I'll be releasing a version soon in which you can disable specific parts of the program altogether, such that you dearly beloved users can test for me :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Entreri:
What's weird is, that not everyone using the program experiences unusual battery drain.

Maybe it's dependent on differences between the Touch Diamond and the Touch Pro? (I'm using the TP)

Maybe it has to do with certain ROMs?

What you say, sounds logical. I don't see why the battery gets drained so fast either. But the fact remains, that it starts on my device as soon as I install 'Answer keys Disabler'.

I'm really looking forward to see a version where we can enable/disable the various features, maybe we can narrow the problem down then.

In the meantime, if you need any additional info or help on that matter, please let me know.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NoBody20013:
one idea: i find it better if AnswerKeyDisabler (AKD) turn the screen everytime off when a call comes in or goes out (is it possible?) so it don´t have to chek if the screen was on or not previously. and when i klick the middle button the screen should go on. otherwise i think everyone can turn off the screen with his fingers by himself ( but this is not good for the key- because it gets pushed very often).

an options menu would be the greatest thing!

or the simple version: key locked if call comes in. and every time a call comes in OR out the screen turns off.

is there a way? :) or a better suggestion?

keep up your work!... (has anybody an idea why the screen don´t locks if there comes a call in when i am in my "homezone" (an area where i can call cheaper or get calls for the other side cheaper because they can use a land line connection number-not a mobile one which is more expensive)....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] johanromijn:
Thanks man, your app works perfect for me!

Just donated a small amount to you, good luck developing!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
I will probably be releasing a version tonight configurable through registry settings. I'm not making a configuration window for now, since it might be changing too much, and I want to focus on core functionality.

@johanromijn: Thanks Johan, I truly appreciate it of course! :)

@Homezone users: I'll make another small test program for you. Keep you posted through PM :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Version 0.5 released

v0.5 (Windows installer, CAB file)

Added 5 registy settings which let you tweak the workings of the program

Again, true AppToDate support (the site hosting the previous XML file would not let me upload a new version of it using the same name)

Fixed the startup after installation issue: Answerkeys Disabler will now always start after installation, regardless of your ROM language.

Some Q&A (as posted in post 2):

Q: What are the settings from v0.5 and above?

A: You can enable and disable the following: unlocking with stylus (UnlockWithStylusEnabled), screen locking on secundary calls (LockCallsDuringCalls), lock always or only from stand by (LockOnlyFromStandby). Also you can set if the device should turn off after a call was established (picked up) or ended (missed/hung up), and if so, if it should be done by emulating a power button press or just turning off the LCD screen.

Q: How can I change any one of the settings?

A: Use a registry editor of your choice (I recommend Total Commander) and browse to HKCU\Software\DRvDijk\AnswerkeysDisabler . You'll find 5 keys with values, each representing one of the settings.

Q: How do I enable/disable unlocking with the stylus?

A: Change the 'UnlockWithStylusEnabled' registry key to 1 to enable unlocking with the stylus, and to 0 to disable it.

Q: How do I enable/disable locking during a secundary call (incoming call while another call is in progress)?

A: Change the 'LockCallsDuringCalls' registry key to 1 to enable locking during a secundary call, or to 0 to disable it.

Q: How do I let Answerkeys Disabler only lock incoming calls when my phone is in stand by, and not when it is already powered on?

A: Change the 'LockOnlyFromStandby' registry key to 1 to let it only lock if the phone is off, and to 0 to let it always lock incoming calls.

Q: How do I disable the screen turn-off after a call is established or ended?

A: Change the 'TurnOffScreenMode' to 0 to completely disable the screen turn-off feature, change it to 1 to let it always turn off the screen after call establishment/ending, or change it to 2 to let it go back to the previous state (i.e. off if the device was off before the call came in, or on otherwise).

Q: How can I change the way Answerkeys Disabler turns off my phone?

A: Change the 'TurnOffScreenMethod' registry value to 1 to emulate a power button press, or 0 to just turn off the LCD screen.

Q: I have the feeling this program still drains battery power. What are the best settings for least power usage?

A: Disable the stylus locking by setting the 'UnlockWithStylusEnabled' registry value to 0, and make sure the 'TurnOffScreenMode' is not set to 2, and make sure 'LockOnlyFromStandby' is set to 0.

Have fun with this one, and please report on any issues! :)

Connection with this event

Thanks for the software and it really very helpful not to accidentally hit the touch screen missing the call when an incoming call arrived.

Occassionally, whenever I dismiss an unwanted incoming call or wake up my Diamond after morning alarm of Spb Time, the Diamond has opened several programs and prompted for my attention. These programs are not intentionally opened. The symptom is not always happened and may be reproduced. Previously I noted that it might related to the alarm of Spb Time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Shouma:
Your the best mate...Its working like a charm :)

Keep up the good work. Thanks million :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
what are the defaults?

(edit: never mind, I'll check the cab or registry itself - but you should mention them anyway)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
You're completely right :) Going straight to the FAQ. Thanks!

Adnd by the way, sorry for implementing it in the registry. I'm aware you personally are not a fan, but I recon this truly is the cleanest way to make this happen.

Q: What are the default settings?

A: UnlockWithStylusEnabled = 1 (do unlock with stylus)

LockCallsDuringCalls = 1 (do lock incoming secondary calls)

LockOnlyFromStandby = 1 (only lock when the phone was off)

TurnOffScreenMode = 2 (turn off screen if it was off before)

TurnOffScreenMethod = 1 (emulate power button press)

O yeah, by the way, another question that needs answereing:

Q: I changed the settings, but the are not working?

A: Please restart Answerkeys Disabler after you change the settings, since the settings are only read on start up
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] metalbrother:
Thanx, man I'll check it out
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Why oh why you people quote an entire huge post, without even "replying" to something in it? Heard about "Netiquette"? Google it!

Why what is wrong with parsing a nice small .ini file?

Anyway keep up the great work man.

I love that you keep... keeping it simple (despite the voices asking for the program to be able to make coffee, walk kids to the school etc.).

Is there any way, to lock the screen when the device wake up for the reminder;

There are three ways, that the device turn on.

On incoming call

on incoming sms

on reminder.

The first two, are solved.

hi,

just installed V 0.5 and it works fine. The HOMEZONE also works now! dont now why.. will test it...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] koppee1:
Hmm..if i want to install .5, do i have to unistall .41 (how?).

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NoBody20013:
hi just one question :

TurnOffScreenMethod = 1 (emulate power button press) -what is the other options? 0 & 2 ? whats the different between power button emulate and turn off screen? and whats the third option?

and when does the programm turn off the screen? sometimes it takes very long.... is there a way to make this period shorter?

@koppee1: disable the old versin by starting the programm manually and choose yes when asked if u want do disable. then just install the new one...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rik_X:
Now it works flawless! Nice!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drvdijk:
Cool, is the incoming SMS thing solved? How? Answerkeys Disabler actually does not do anything as far as I know to prevent the screen from enabling after an SMS message arrives..

There is a way to recognize incoming SMS messages, but that'd require a complete rewrite of the code to another language I am not very familiar with, so I'll push that back for a while.

Really?!?! Does Homezone work?? Hahahaha!! Thick fat LOL at that, I don't believe I really changed anything! Wow, that really is weird. Can others confirm this as well?

If you install the CAB, it will ask to overwrite 0.4.1

Please look at the FAQ in post 2. The difference between simulation and the other locking technique, is that some users prefer the one, while others prefer the other. Personally I just always keep it on 1. There is no 3rd option. If the program turns off the screen, it does so directly.

Great! Glad that for what I feel as a not-that-big version change indeed is appreciated by others!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bennec83:
Hi,

I have just migrated back to this app and removed styluslock as it was crashing my device abit to frequently when recieving SMS messages.

I really like the way this is working now much better than the last time i tryed it.

I have a small suggestion, maybe some other people have had the same problem, here is the details:

Your program works flawlessly for deactivating the screen for calls, i was wondering if the same could be done for SMS messages?

since i installed this, i have had about 5-6 SMS messages but no sound has been played as i had my device in its pouch, when the SMS's came in the screen was pressed by the pouch and no warning sounded.

also everytime i found i had recieved an SMS my phone was not displaying the screen i had left it on prior to putting the device to sleep, i guess because when the SMS's came in, the screen unlocked and my pouch went pressing buttons for me.

Would it be possible to extend you already excellent app to cover SMS/MMS warnings too?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NoBody20013:
hi...

i have to say.. Homezone DONT work :confused: dont know why it worked one time... or i pushed the red button the wrong way?:p

but the logger shows me that the phone gets a call...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] katerini:
The incoming sms is solved from HTC. Not from Answerkeys Disabler. You know that diamond don't wake up by incoming sms, unless you change the reg entry.

The only problem is the reminder, unless there is a way not to wake up, like the incoming sms.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] birkov10:
Hi drvdijk,

I was looking how to attach a program to a hardware key other than the caller key( the long press function ) and I found a list of all the hardware/virtual keys in Windows mobile:

MSDN Windows mobile

also in the same page appears the next:

________________________________________________________________

The following keys were undefined for Windows Embedded CE, but are overridden as application keys in Windows Mobile.

Hexadecimal value	Windows Mobile constant

0xC1	VK_APP_FIRST

0xC1	VK_APP1

0xC2	VK_APP2

0xC3	VK_APP3

0xC4	VK_APP4

0xC5	VK_APP5

0xC6	VK_APP6

0xC6	VK_APP_LAST

The VK_APP keys will only be recognized by the system if they are wrapped with VK_LWIN. The following code snippet demonstrates how to do this programmatically.

keybd_event(VK_LWIN, 0, KEYEVENTF_SILENT, 0);

GenKeyEvent(VK_APP1);

keybd_event(VK_LWIN, 0, KEYEVENTF_SILENT | KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);

_________________________________________________________________

Maybe this can be useful to work with hardware keys without use a window ( I am not a programmer, it is only speculation )
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] StarMonkee:
This version is brilliant :D

It's definitely the best since 2.1, and seems to work perfectly.

I've had one call which was a bit odd though:

The phone was on, and LockOnlyFromStandby was set to 0. When the phone rang, the default incoming call screen didnt show at all - I had my usual home screen and the phone was vibrating and ringing.

It's only happened once though, so I don't know if it was just a weird anomaly.
