RSS cannot wake up?

Would S2U2 cause RSS readers fail to update?

I'm using Yomomedia RSS reader. It seems to me that it is never updated (unless I press the soft key to do a manual update). I wonder if it is because S2U2 is locking and powering down the phone all day long. Is it the reason/

If yes, what could I do? If I add Yomomedia to the S2U2 exception list, then S2U2 won't even lock it. What I need is to keep the phone locked, but allow Yomomedia to run and retrieve the RSS feeds as scheduled. If I ask S2U2 not to power down the device, my phone will stay on and drain battery.

What is the best setting to allow RSS updates?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
I never noticed that S2U2 would stop a program from retrieving updates!

Please try: settings -> advanced -> enable "don't suspend power"

Hi. I have unpleasant issue with "-unlock" command line parameter. It's work just fine when S2U2 is locked. But if not - weird things happens. Especially if unlock password present.

Why the slider to unlock is a little jerky?

:confused:

the slider to unlock the screen of standard lockscreen of Windows Mobile 6.5 is much more fluid!

:(

I have an htc hd2.

:eek:

very nice program anyway!;)

cant navigate to choose files

Can't navigate to choose a theme or a wallpaper or language or exception .exe... in the app file explorer just the "back" icon works. i cant select folders or filies.

Omnia i900 with custom WM6.5 (tried more than 5 different versions/cookers)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MeeMk:
Go to Settings and in the Feedback menu, adjust the inertia of the slider. That will change the jerkiness

i have a similar problem too, i'm running Sense 2.5(Energy ROM) with Cookie 1.71 on TD2 and S2US 2.34.

Clean install, no setting change, the program seems to be working ok.

But i have problem when i changed the wallpaper, it frozen my phone (no response to power key, have to soft reset).

Once restarted, no icon shown up on the Home Screen only see launching .... When someone calls, the answer dial screen came up, and i can answer call. Once the call is over the dial screen remained there except this time, the power button works.

the Windows button is not working

any suggestion?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheEvilVirus:
I've searched this topic, but can't find the thing I want. I have a problem with the 'power off in' setting. It simply doesn't power off in the time set, but it always waits until the timeout of the backlight/auto power off of WM. So the value seems to be simply ignored.

How can I let the device power off with the value I choose in S2U2?

I toggled both 'Lock when screen is blank' and 'lock when backlight is turned off' to see if it matters, but it doesn't :(.

ActiveSync problem

Hi A_C!

Have a somewhat mysterious problem with S2U2. It seems that S2U2 starts ActiveSync on my HTC Touch2 when the phone is booted after a backup with Sprite backup. Is this only a special problem for me or has somebody else reported something similar?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] negromnia90:
does not change much ... is always a bit jerky

Touch Pro 2 issues

I really appreciate the work put into this amazing, free tool.

Unfortunately I was forced to uninstall it on my Verizon Touch Pro 2 for the following reasons.

1) When in landscape mode (i.e. keyboard open), the graphics were screwed up. This is in the FAQ but I believe I already had it in GDI mode.

2) Sometimes S2U2 prevented me from answering a call. Since S2U2 does not allow me to quiet a ring without ignoring the call, I stayed with the default phone application for answering calls. However, sometimes it would be hidden by S2U2 and unlocking caused me to cancel the call.

3) Clock does not update in real time. Sometimes it will display the correct time, but usually it seems to stick with the time of the last time it was run. For example, this weekend I woke up and checked the time at about 10 in the morning, and it read 9:30PM (the night before). I have not found a work around and I have not been able to identify a specific trigger. This has caused me to miss meetings.

4) Most importantly, S2U2 will randomly cause my phone to become extremely slow because it starts to use 100% processor. Even if I close using iLock.exe, it will cause problems. I do not know what triggers this but it happens about once every 1-2 weeks. The only fix is to soft reset the device. Yesterday it happened and I did everything except restart the device, and it consumed the battery from 100% down to zero while I slept. The phone was completely dead before morning and my alarm never went off.

I can't let that happen again. Please remember that I still thank you for all the great work you have put into the WM community.

I'm no longer using but I hope this bug report helps in the future!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ooxteme:
Ive just noticed while in the slide to unlock screen i can hold down my call button and it will bypass s2u2 and proceed to make a call. Any help would be great!!! thanks!!! Sprint Treo Pro

Best version

A far better version than the previous one. My HTC Touch Pro is much faster with this version and the options better organized!!!;) Love it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stevedogg:
I have had this problem ever since using S2U2 on my HTC Fuze (WM 6.1, AT&T) (I think the first version I ever downloaded was 2.02). The Caller ID pops up, but S2U2 cancels the call. The caller just gets voicemail. It seems to happen randomly and just often enough to be a problem (maybe 1/3 or 1/4 of all calls). I still use S2U2 because of the locking and other great features.

s2u2 and WinMo 6.5.x

Sorry if this has been covered but I searched the thread under 6.5.x and 6.5.5 :)

I've recently installed the CleanEx Ultimate ROM on my HD2 which is described as being 6.5.X and tried installing s2u2 and s2p which I've also recently discovered (and love!(. All functions work correctly until a soft reset or power off, and then the Home button bar gets obstructed by the new soft buttons at the bottom (on this ROM they are "people" and "menu").

I've uninstalled s2u2 for the time being, as s2p works fine, but was just wondering if you'll be working on a 6.5.X compatible version? Really missing the preview email and sms functions at the moment!

Excellent work on these, both excellent and much needed functions IMO.

Phone Dummy

Hi,

first things firts : this is a super tool !

I don't know if i am on the right place but i have a suggestion. It would be VERY handy to be able to use the phone (just like the emergency call) when the device is locked so you basically have an ordinary phone. Then you would only have to unlock when you want to 'enter' the windows/touchflow environment for applications.

Don't tell me this is possible, then i will hide under the desk the rest of the day ... ;)

Just an idea ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gnash.s:
Hi,

Thanks for this great app. I've been using this for a long time now. I use the Message preview option very much that I don't even have to unlock most of the time. Awesome.

I do have a question. When I installed the new version on my TmoUS Stock ROM, I had the option to slide to vibrate/unlock feature. But, now I have the latest Energy ROM and I don't see the slide to vibrate option anymore. I guess, energy rom is not compatible?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toxa88:
I have the same problem. It usually appears after third incoming call. It all began from version 2.33.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ers2258:
Huh. So I'm NOT the only one.

So, I'm not the only one who has experienced this problem. :confused:

Well, with CoOkie's Home Tab and The CoOkie Home Tab Editor now in a Sparkling Advanced stage I think I'll Just stick with them.

Two of the finest development builds I have seen ever. :D

Thanks for the memories S2U2. :rolleyes:

Appointment notification problem

My appologies if this issue has been raised before. I searched this very long thread as best as I could.

S2U2 runs great on my Omnia2 with WM6.5.5, I love it. But sometimes I get the new appointment notification - the one with tap to cancel - completely blank (no time, no subject, nothing, just 'tap to cancel') and it keeps coming back whatever I do. Cancel, Dismiss, Snooze. It will go away for half a second but then immediately pops up again, in an infinite loop. The only way to get rid of it is to quickly unlock S2U2.

I don't see any appointment in my calendar and the regular WM appointment notification also does not get triggered.

It doesn't happen every day, but it does seem to occur more frequently if I have had a couple of 'legitimate' appointment notifications within the last few hours. That seems to set it off at some point.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? Tx!

Dates for Pending Tasks

When I click on the Tasks icon s2u2 shows my pending tasks. But the date shown is always 1-day too soon. For example, if I have a task that starts and is due on 6/30/09, s2u2 shows a date of 6/29/09. It does this for everyone of my tasks.

Anyone else seeing this? Thanks in advance!

FYI: I use Thumbcal for my appointments and tasks and have an HTC Touch with the stock Sprint WM6.1 rom.

Anyone have problem with exception exe ?

i have tomtom and opera exception but S2U2 start :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scar45:
Hey DarkDvr,

I've run into the same issues with S2U2 v2.x using more battery. I have talked with A_C about it, and it seems that S2U2 will monitor your data connection. If it sees that there is one established, then it won't allow the device to enter full standby mode.

You can test this out by disconnecting from EDGE/GPRS/3G and see if your device's uptime stops counting (verify with the AE Button+ function "Uptime Information"). You might need to soft-reset in between, as terminating iLock2, then re-running it doesn't appear to work. I just disable/enable my iLock2.exe shortcut in \Windows\StartUp.

In the meantime I've set my device to auto-disconnect from data when idle for 1 min, however this doesn't appear to be working well for me either. With S2U2 versions prior to v2.x, I never had this issue, as I left my data connection on all of the time and battery life was good still (i.e. my Uptime counter paused when the device was in standby).

Hopefully A_C will modify S2U2 to not check the data connection, thus preventing true standby mode, or at least an option as to whether or not it should check. I know a lot of people have said they have no battery drain issues, but I noticed this issue after installing v2.x, and my tests confirm that this new version behaves in this manner.

We'll see what the future builds hold!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cxi:
What about Advanced->Don't Suspend Power. Wouldn't that be the option which would control this behavior?

G-alarm is able to pass through passwork check

i have installed s2u2 and set the password lock on it. but g-alarm is able to get through it when the alarm goes on. Anyone notice this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kraize:
That's the point of G-alarm....to be on top when it rings...it should go back after you snooze/end the alarm.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scar45:
Hi cxi, you would think that it would be, but I believe that S2U2 setting only relates to the same settings that you find in SETTINGS --> POWER. These same settings don't directly influence the "deeper" power policies that the device has. I have my S2U2 set to "Don't Suspend Power" so that it leaves that alone, but it still keeps the system active if it notices there is an open data connection (possibly in UserIdle mode, see below).

The following WM power state information is from MSDN:

"Power state / Description

BacklightOff = State after a short period of user inactivity. The backlight is off. Other things could be turned off, as well.

On = Normal operating state when a user is interacting with the device.

Resuming = Initial state after the device wakes up from the Suspended state. This state has a fifteen-second timeout before it transitions to another state. The system must transition to another state, or it reverts to the Suspended state. There is no way to reset the timer.

ScreenOff = Backward-compatible state for applications that must turn off the screen through the display driver ExtEscape function. A typical case is Windows Media Player, which can turn off the screen through a user-defined key press.

Suspended = Sleep state. No threads are running. The CPU is idle. The system can wake up only by means of a hardware wake-source interrupt.

Unattended = State in which a program runs without the user's knowledge or the need for interaction with the user, such as the Always-Up-to-Date synchronization program. It has a reference count (UREF). Upon exiting such an application, the device goes directly to the Suspended state without waiting for the system idle timer.

UserIdle = State after a longer period of user inactivity. The screen is either in low-power mode or off (depending on the OEM configuration). Other things could be turned off, as well."

What we want (and I believe what S2U2 is preventing), is Suspended mode, where no threads are running. Of course when other programs/S2U2 need the CPU, it would enter Unattended mode and then kick right back to Suspended once it's done.

These are my humble thoughts anyways, I am only speculating. We'll wait to hear more from A_C when he gives us the next update.

Here's a bug I'm experiencing with 2.01 on a Sprint Touch Pro w/stock ROM:

Top curtain icons get stuck. Example of this is the data connection icon doesn't disappear after the connection has ended. It seems to occur after the headset icon appears and if you try to run iLock after it happens the dialog-box indicating S2U2 is shutting down doesn't show up and then the battery icon on the S2U2 screen shows up empty. Only way to fix is to shut down or reset. The problem didn't occur with 1.62.

I will be installing the Beta C update and report back tomorrow.

Anyone else noticing the S2U2 Caller ID having problems?

Setup:

* CallerID = Framed

* S2A = Only Locked

* Slide to End = ON

* S2A Hard Answer = OFF

* S2A Hard End = OFF

* Always Hide the system incoming popup = ON

This occurs:

* Sometimes chinese characters showing on the top - usually for numbers not in the Contacts

* Conflict when PPC not locked - answer screen vacillates between HTC and S2U2, but without the slider, sometimes just S2U2, again without sliders

* When PPC locked all seems to work OK

Pretty sure something is wrong here, or is it my understanding?

ilock randomly quits

Calkulin's Kitchen 5.0 21051 on a Sprint Diamond with 2.01c. Ilock 2 will randomly quit while doing different thing and it wont restart. Mainly during outgoing calls and while plugged in.

Im having major issues s2u2 starting on wake. On a fresh reset, it works fine, no problems, but after a few off and on's, it no longer locks the device on wake up. It seems to have no problem locking on locking on blacklight off, but the specifically does nothing on wake.

When i go to settings to check to see if it was trully checked to lock on wake, it says that it is, and then when i save settings i always get the error message "Cannot restart iLock2 please soft reset yoru device"

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iknowsquat:
No prob. But as his instructions say, you have to shut off iLock2. I did a soft reset, then iLock2 would respond, THEN over wrote the files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eww245:
This is how s2u2 is set up, if not you might not ever regain control of your device while it runs.

Any window that pops up above s2u2 will allow control of the device.

For example, when plugging in ac cable a notification is there, then any startmenu buttons can be pressed allowing full access.

The only way around this would be to programically hide any and all windows that apear above the program, not very practical.

Or use a LAP type program to allow total locking of the device, like the standard WM Lock or any variants.

Good luck finding one that looks good.

S2U2 turn ringing volume off problem

Hi. I have a small problem with the program. When someone calls, I cannot turn off the ringing volume on my X1. I tought it would work from the volume down hardkey, but doesn't work. Is there some way to get this to work? Maybe by editing some settings? Everything else in this brilliant app seems to work fine :) Please help, because it's annoying when you cannot answer and you need to stop the phone from ringing.

It'll be improved in the next release as I've just find another very reliable way to mute the ring.

Either redownload the installation file from my website, or under folder S2U2\gfx, rename nopicf.png to fnopic.png & unknownf.png to funknown.png.

@WM6.5 Users

As I said before, since WM6.5 is not officially lauched yet, so far I've only tested S2U2 with the emulator. There may be a lot of problems that cannot be solved yet until I have a real WM6.5 device on-hand. So if you find any problems araised by S2U2 with your WM6.5 device, I suggest you uninstall it first.

Being said that, do you have any good recommendation for the beta 6.5 ROM for Diamond? TIA.
