ZuinigeRijder,

2nd day test

my touch pro unlock itself in my belt pouch!! I found out that the pouch pressed on the poweron button by accident. At the same time the matt cloth surface inside the pouch touched the capacitive areas and unlock itself, then further lauchthe program on the screen. So I am back to where i am b4..

(1) S2U2 prevents me from launching the program as the unlock mechanism blocked that, but repeatedly running the S2U2 screen as my pouch touches the screen repeatedly until battery dries up.

(2) touch lock pro unlock mechanism missed out the unexpected smooth cloth touches from the pouch and unlocking itself.

I do not know programming, i wonder the following suggestion will help to improve the TLP further:

1)I realised that after the poweron button is pressed, if no input, the screen will go back to sleep after 1 min (set in WM), which is very long. Can this be shortened during unlocking? Can this be an option while waiting for the unlocking input, if there is no input for X seconds, the pda goes back to sleep? this is to prevent giving a lot of time for the unnecesary touched from the cloth to the capacitive areas or light sensor to unlock the phone, also could save more power.

2)Can the capacitive area be specified? for example, press only AREA 2. (As the ok button is deeper, hopefully it will not be touched by the cloth in the pouch so easily. Thus no unlocking if only 3X soft touches in Area 2 is required to unlock)

3)can the touches to the capacitive areas be in sequence? For instance, press area 2 twice and then area 3 once. (this sequence may prevent accident unlocking touches)

I hope this will help to improve the Touchlockpro program.

Hi ZuinigeRijder,

is it possible instead of the battery capacity show the date?

Perhaps a option for date or capacity.

Greeting

The purpose of this is like a added security feature. So, if no one knows your touch sequence they will not be able to unlock it. I can use the system lock, but everyone knows to press unlock to unlock it. Or I can use the system lock with a pin, but then I will not be able to see my HomeScreen when it see lock. Your TouchProLock is perfect for veiwing HomeScreen when lock, but as stated above, need that extra security feature of not unlocking with stylus as an optional security feature.:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] aadadams:
I was curious about why the stylus unlock was an issue, but that makes sense. I think it would be a great addition to the program to have it as an option, as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Early next week I will post version 1.9, if everything goes well.

I have already integrated TAPI and testing it already.

I need to configure those settings, also in the Action Screen. Because I do this in my free time, it may take longer or shorter.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
When something unlikely can happen, its happen (law of murphy). There are a lot of people even not afraid the power button is pressed. And then also, in addition pressing 3 times the same area within 3 seconds, within your pocket, inside the pouch :eek:

I tested also, if the capacitive touches also react when pressing the buttons inside the pouch. Yes it is possible, but unlikely.

Of course, I also want to make sure this does NOT happen. In earlier versions it was very hard to unlock via the capacitive touches, because when another area was touched, the capacitive touches were reset. Later on, I discovered that some touches on the same are, gave different results, so I combined them, so now it is a lot easier to unlock via triple tap.

But reading this, I am going to change the triple touch, so if in the mean time another area is touched, I start again from counting the number of touches. I think this will still make it easy to unlock via triple touch, but doing this in your pocket, then you will be a lottery winner.

This will be available in upcoming version 1.9.

Currently it is coupled to the backlight off event. I have my Windows Mobile setting set to 30 seconds, which is in practice very doable.

I will think about an option to automatic go back to sleep, if not unlocked within a specified time.

I think, an option for triple tapping the center area would indeed make it less likely to occur. I will consider this to make this an option.

I think this will make the triple tap unlocking hard, so the previous one is a better idea and with the other measures the law of murphy says that it will only occur once in your life :D

Thanks for reporting this problem. I will make measures for it, so it will not happen anymore.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Ok, I will think about this option.

But is the current date not shown on your home screen?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, maybe you need then also a secret sequence of triple touching the different area's, because over not so long time every phone will have TouchLockPro installed :)

But this means also that you need to disable unlock by light sensor, USB power, etc., so the only way is unlocking via triple touch (or soft reset and then you come into the PIN lock).

I will think about it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BadTasteUK:
Hi Zuinige, congratulations on a great little app!

I'm trying it instead of S2U2 which I have used for a long time, but hear it's heavy and eats the battery.

The only issue I have with it, is that I get a 3 or 4 secs delay when the phone rings before it will detect I am pressing the touch pad, so I have missed some calls.

Is this something you are aware of, or is it particular to me?

Sorry if this has already been covered, I did try and search the thread but haven't seen anything yet.

Thanks,

GT.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
I am looking into this one. This is already answered in post #588. But with the huge amount of posts, searching is not easy ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BadTasteUK:
Ah great! Ok I've made the change, and I'll see how it goes tomorrow. :)

Thank you for your fast response!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Can I suggest something else? (simple in fact)

Can you at least make it possible to lock the device using a normal WM shortcut? (maybe call the main program with a parameter, or make a small program that just calls the lock function in your main program or something)

That way I will not use the (useless to me) "rectangle" and still be able to lock my device by touching something on the screen (a shortcut in "programs" tab of TF3D or a shortcut people can add to their favorite today-shortcuts application, if they don't use TF3D). In fact this way I might be able to integrate it to other applications (thinking of calling it through a profile in CommManagerPro).

Can this be done?

I loved AnswerKeyDisabler, gets the job done but just for that, it leaves you naked in the woods when an SMS or other notification comes. :) So looking for a more generic lock solution.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WunderXDA:
What about the TLP Action program that is already included?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
That is already possible via \Windows\TouchLockAction.exe action. See post #4 for the actions......
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
I must have missed something in those 64 pages, can you point me?

edit: ah you did - thanks :)

will check it out
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bruceo:
When I uninstalled TLP I noticed that i now had a speaker icon where the TLP batt indicator used to be which turns on the HTC volume app on my HTC touch pro. I am trying to remove this since it takes up valuable space and is unnecessary since the TP has dedicated volume buttons. Do you have an idea of what I need to change back to remove the icon?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
I think the battery icon disappeared, so now the speaker icon has moved from place. The speaker icon is also normally shown.

TouchLockPro does nothing with the icons, it is just an overlay over the available icons. Someone else had a problem with a disappearing battery indicator icon and was also thinking it was because of TouchLockPro. But the disappearing of the battery icon was due to something else, but you will notice only when the overlay is no longer shown.

This is the PM sequence:

Hope this helps to find your (same?) cause.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] nguyenxh:
Hi,

how can I make it as when the stylus is plugged in (in lock mode), the screen is off?

Another way around, the screen is on again.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MELPHBOY:
That will work also!

Thank you! I love your work.;)

a new issue

I'm having an issue with 1.8 When I bring the phone out of suspend with the power button the bat-clock always says 100% until after I unlock it (or it times out and unlocks) anyone else see this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] JstarLuvsTina:
this app is the ****!

ive been running it for about 3 days now with no issues to report.

thanks for this!

Late,

Jstar
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
That is not possible at the moment. When it is locked, it will go to suspend when the backlight switches to off, the feature you ask is not (yet) available. I will see if I can make a configuration option for this.

Are more people liking this feature, that the screen goes off when the stylus is put back and when the phone is locked?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
I would like to have this, would be great to have a full charged battery, everytime when I power on the phone :D

TouchLockPro uses the battery life percentage of Windows Mobile API GetSystemPowerStatusEx BatteryLifePercent.

What I see is that the information returned is not always accurate, but always 100%? What I have seen on my phone, is that the information returned was 45% and after a soft reset it was 18%.

In other threads I have seen also problems with battery percentage reading, that it, when full charged, it did not show more than 50% charged. Only after a soft reset it was showing 100% again. So it can be that there are similar problems.

TouchLockPro cannot be blamed, I think (but you never know).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Enjoy the ****! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Edw00d:
This program is awesome. I hope it solves the problem of my Touch Pro turning on randomly in it's case and staying on constantly due to the case squeezing it just enough that it keeps it active, thereby draining the battery constantly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kkoenen:
Will this program be included in updates by App2Date ??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
I have already a AppToDate xml file for the upcoming version 1.9. But in this xml file I need to have a URL to the TouchLockPro.xml file (and the cab file). However, this is a chicken/egg problem, because attachments in XDA keep changing URL's.

So then I need to store the AppToDate xml somewhere else :confused:

I tried Google Docs, but there xml files are treated special.

So it looks like I need some webspace somewhere else :mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lexluthor:
Yes, I see the same thing. When it wakes up and it's locked with the white background, it, at least initially, always shows 100%.

Maybe touchlockpro could at least query windows for the battery percentage before the device goes into suspend and at least display that on wakeup, if it's not possible to display something other than 100% right as it wakes up.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] nguyenxh:
Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, indeed, I think it is a nice feature. Without using the TouchLockPro, the HTC Touch Diamond already has a feature that when the stylus is out, the screen is on => so you could inherit this feature somehow...

So, if stylus is plugged in => it is nice that the backlight is off and locked!!! great if you have it...

Looking forward to see then.

THanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] oo03sjw:
Hi, could you please assist, I have been using this for a few days now, but today, I have the same old original problems.

Phone in pocket, phone rings, take out of pocket and its has connected...4 times, 4 different calls...tap end call....it's screen locked?

Could you please advise where I am going wrong, in settings etc.

Many thanks for your great work, now I need you to teach an idiot....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Hard to say without much information. What phone type do you have? Do you only lock the touchpanel or also the hardware keys? Is it possible the lightsensor unlocks the phone too early? No stylus in? How many capacitive touches to unlock?

The best is to provide a log file, to see what is happening inside. Can you enable debug logging (logdebug=1 and logdebugdetailed=1), see post #3 and post it as attachment.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] oo03sjw:
Thanks for your quick reply, to try and answer your questions.

It is an XDA O2 Ignito, as far as I am aware the screen is locked and not the hardware keys, as I ended the call by way of the phone key. Unlocking shoud be default, is that 5 seconds? anyway I haven't adjusted it. Stylus in. 3 touches to unlock.

I am at work at the mo, will try the log later.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fourcc:
Hi ZuinigeRijder, i know that we have talked about it before and you told me that you will consider it.

When do you expect to release a TLP version with an option in its settings that would make it possible to lock device only when receiving a call/sms?

I know that answerkeysdisabler does it but not as TLP because TLP locks also the touchpanel as it must be!

For my needs, the perfect locking tool would be answerkeysdisabler with the Touchpanel locking feature because i don't need ( and i don't like too) to have my device locked each time i turn screen on.

If it is not a pain, please ZuinigeRijder, try to add this feature in future TLP releases.

thanks you very much.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
I am not sure if answerkeysdisabler also locks if there is an incoming SMS. But I will make sure there will be an option to lock when there is an incoming call and the screen goes on. Actually, I will use almost the same TAPI code from answerkeys disabler.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fourcc:
thanks a lot ZuinigeRijder,

btw i have my phone to not wake due an sms, so a lock only when receiving a phone call is just what i need, but with touchpanel lock too!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Edw00d:
Got my hopes up too early. Doesn't solve the problem of my Touch Pro randomly turning on and staying on. It locks the screen, but it stays on. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Waking up the phone due to a power button press is difficult. So it is probably awaking to an other event (incoming SMS, incoming call, other program?). The wake up of the incoming SMS you can disable.

Normally, TouchLockPro does suspend again when the backlight goes off. I hope you did not set this setting too long? I have mine set to 30 seconds. And only when the middle center keys is pressed, the backlight goes on/keeps on again for the timeout.

In version 1.9 there will be an option to specify a timeout to suspend the device after power on/screen on, independent of the backlight off. So this might help a bit.

But the reason for awakening your phone so often should be fixed.

Is it the SMS thing, which you can disable?

And just another guess, I hope you did not configure that pressing any hardware key will wake up your phone? I have a dutch phone, so in English it would something like:

Start -> Settings -> System -> KeyLock -> lock all keys except power on/off key.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] yawpk:
ZuinigeRijder,

3rd day testing on TLP,

when using touch pro answers/receive calls and put near to our ear, phone will go to sleep mode with call still active.

(1) if i want to end the call or run the any functions..i.e.notepad, i have to wake up the phone by pressing ok. The screen wakes up but locked. so i have to perform unlock steps b4 i can continue further. This takes quite a while when we are on the phone and we need to take note on something or have to respond to an auto-answer machine at the other end by pressing the keypad. Is there a way not to unlock the phone when the phone is in use?

(2) if the other party ends the call, the phone automatically wakes up and again locked. if i press the poweron button (to let the phone off), it wont respond. so i have to unlock the phone and then press the poweron button to turn off the screen. I am not to sure whether i had done something wrong to the setting or this is the way TLP manages the lock status. Please let me know.

Thanx.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, this is the current behaviour. And indeed it is a bit clumsy you need to unlock. Therefore in the upcoming version 1.9 TAPI support will be added and an option UnlockWhenConnected. I am already in the testing phase of this version, a lot of (small) feature request will be added. I expect that version early next week.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blitzed26:
Is it just me or does 1.8 drain the battery? I haven't changed anything except upgrading to 1.8 and it seems my battery is draining very quickly. Curious to see if anyone else is seeing this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blitzed26:
I know this is off topic, but I have been trying to find out how to do this. (Keep screen off when receiving a SMS). What registry setting are you using, because all that I have tried don't work!

Thanks in advance and sorry to stray away a little.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] FuzzFuzz:
Hi Zuinig.

I'm not really sure if this has nothing to do with touchlock pro, cause when I turn off touchlock, it stops loading at 100%.

so this is a solution, even though it is not the most perfect solution.

I'm not into blaming and if noone is having this problem, then I'll guess it's just my phone and I'll just disable touchlock every evening before charging.

nonetheless, it's a very nice program:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Edw00d:
Turn off blacklight if device is not used for "30 sec".

I have "Lock all keys except power on/off" set.

I have the Simple PIN password lock screen enabled, would that be some sort of a conflict with TouchLockPro?

My phone is apparently waking up randomly. not due to SMS messages, as I wake up in the morning to a pretty much dead battery (after it being 90%), and there are no SMS messages waiting for me.

I also noticed that it does the not turning off thing when it's in a tighter fitting leather case I got. It's not tight enough to press in the face buttons, and the power button is not covered, so it's not pressing the power button.

The light sensor is completely covered, so it's not that either.

The case has magnets in them. Are they somehow activating something? I thought the Touch Pro doesn't have any magnetic switches, the only magnet is the one used to hold the stylus in place.

I really don't know what's wrong other than this phone is pissing me off with it's insanely randomly short battery life due to this auto wake up and not turn off thing.

Is TouchLockPro somehow not locking the screen fast enough when it wakes up that when in a carry case that squeezes the screen enough to register as a screen touch, it keeps it awake?

I noticed that it constantly vibrates (double and then single vibrates) from TouchLockPro notification when it's in this constant awake state. It eventually turns off, but not for quite a few minutes.

-Ed
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, the vibration indicates constantly switching between on and off state. So something keeps your phone busy :mad:

Can you post a debug file (logdebug=1 and logdebugdetailed=1), see post #3. And then try to reproduce the constant vibrate behaviour. Maybe that is giving a clue.

Someone else gave me a PM, about a problem with the Stylus sensor, which gave bogus values back. Actually I advised to look if the hardware sensor was still postioned Ok. At the moment he has put a piece of paper between the Stylus and the sensor, so his phone does not react anymore :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] haustin:
problem w/SMS wake-up

First of all, excellent app, ZuinigeRijder! Thanks for your efforts and results.

The one problem that I've noticed is that when I receive an SMS, the phone becomes a buzzer. :-)

I have it set to wake up on SMS, and SMS notifications are configured to vibrate, display message and flash the light. TLPv 1.8 is set to AutoLockOnPowerOn=1, SuspendOnBacklightOff=1, UnlockOnLightSensorTime=4000 (so that ambient light levels can unlock it before it goes to sleep at around 5 seconds).

Normally, upon receiving an SMS, the phone will pulse-vibrate for several seconds, play the notification tune and wake up the display. With TLPv1.8 configured as above and with low ambient light levels, the phone wakes up and goes back to sleep after about 5 seconds (if I don't unlock) and the phone continuously vibrates until I wake it up and unlock it. If left unoccupied, I imagine this would be a fairly severe battery drain. :-)

Any suggestions? -hea
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Did you also configure vibration on TouchLockPro? maybe that interferes and you should disable this in TouchLockPro.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] haustin:
Re: problem w/SMS wake-up

Thanks for the instant reply!

Actually, all TLP Vibrate* reg entries are set to 0.

-hea
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fxvxca:
my very best compliments!!!!!!

the application is amazing very useful easy to use and very well written!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, does not ring me a bell.

Can you post a debug log file (logdebug=1 and logdebugdetailed=1), see post #3. And try to reproduce the sketched scenario.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] haustin:
Re: problem w/SMS wake-up

Hmmm. Well, I tried to replicate it with logging enabled but it didn't behave the same this time. It previously behaved repeatably as described, but now it doesn't immediately re-suspend after five seconds (I have soft-reset since previous tests -- knowing Windows, that could explain it). For the run included in the log, I waited until the vibrating stopped and then did capacitance taps. It refused to unlock until I removed the stylus, and left the LockIndicator (red bar) visible until I stopped TLP. Very odd.

-hea
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
I see that your backlight off is very fast:

15:18:48 -1371306714 =========================POWER_STATE_ON============================

15:18:52 -1371306714 ===== NotificationBackLightOff CANCELLED =====: 314332

So this is probably the cause, why the screen goes off again so fast.

What is your backlight off setting?

You should set this longer, otherwise it goes to suspend again, due to the setting SuspendOnBacklightOff: 1

Hope this helps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] yawpk:
ZuinigeRijder,

4th day testing on SuspendOnBacklightOff

As u mentioned on your reply i can set the backlight off faster in 30 secs instead off 1 min to make the phone sleeps and locks again if it is unattended. the phone did switch off the light but still able to see the screen and not locked with option SuspendOnBacklightOff=1. i can press any key to bring back the backlight. Did i miss out any setting?
