Something really strange AC... As soon as I put it on RAW buffer mode, everything was 100%. Then I went to DirectDraw so I could send you the log files of that, but it works perfectly now?? :confused:

After a soft reset, the DirectDraw messed up...

iLock2.log

s2u2.log

^^^^^

There's not much data on the .log files, but I hope you get something out of them. Let me know if you need me to do anything!

Thanks so much for all your efforts!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaLiTHkA:
What about adding a status option on the lock screen instead? Let me explain a bit... When a message is received, a call missed or a task exists in the list, the S2U2 shows an icon with the relative number next to it. Tapping that changes the slider from 'Slide to Unlock' to 'Slide to View'.

Perhaps that would be a better way to do this? Have the track currently playing in S2P visible on the lock screen, and tapping that before sliding would unlock and go to S2P, while just normally sliding would unlock to Today screen. The functionality is already there, so maybe this way would be the least work involved too... I'm not a programmer though, so I may be horribly wrong there. :rolleyes:

S2U2 hangs

I use s2u2 2.04 in my X800 with the latest Resco Audio Recorder 4.60.

I do not know why, but after I receive a call, end it, backlight down so s2u2 starts ... later screen shuts down (so far all OK) ... but then I try to start the pda with the power button, and nothing happens. Incoming calls not arrive, no response to buttons ... so the pda hangs (hard reset needed to restart every time).

It only happens when not in USB cable (and a call was received)

Changed back to the old s2u2 0.86, and the error not happens.

I made something wrong in the settings?

Not locking hardware buttons?

This is a fantastic app, but I've found one issue that I've not seen previously reported -- forgive me if it has been!

The issue is that, on my S.E. Xperia X1, not all of the hardware keys are locked.

The camera button works (when done with the camera, you are dumped back at the lock screen)

The panel button works... this is perhaps more serious.

The panel button, unique to Xperias, makes it possible to "minimize" s2u2 and get back to the Today screen (or TF3D, or whatever). Therefore, it's possible to bypass the lock and security code.

I'm guessing that perhaps A_C had to code in the hardware buttons to lock, and since many HTC devices lack a hardware camera key, and of course the panel key, they were not included. So the question is, can I fix this with a registry tweak, or is this one for the boss to fix?

-- Joe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PiperD:
This is the same approach I suggested for the weather icon here, and I think your suggestion is an excellent way to further integrate A_C's suite of apps. Good to know I'm not the only person thinking along those lines :)

As always, his opinion is what ultimately matters though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] prag16:
On an AT&T HTC Fuze, the PTT button remains active (I have short press mapped to TBattery, and long press mapped to Camera). I can bypass the lock by pressing this to launch one of those apps (effectively throwing S2U2 to the background), then get anywhere else via the start menu. This is potentially a big problem.

Otherwise fantastic app; though my battery life has suffered compared to before I was using it... Anybody have any tips for maximizing battery life with this app? I'm getting about twice the drain that I got before installing this.

One last comment: It would be great if the WinMo 6.5 Titanium Weather was an option for the lockscreen weather display.

Thanks!

How to import my personal S2U2 Settings.reg ?

I made a copy of that file before resetting my phone

I put the file back in the S2U2 folder but did not change anything in the settings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Did you stop ilock before you set the registry?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brodazunino:
Yes, I did :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kaneelias:
I can see why people use the "simple lock program" excuse because i have done it myself and i think the main reason can be seen in this forum. There are still a number of bugs/issues that are present in S2U2 and for me i would rather have a program that works 100% rather than all these bells and whistles that end up creating more issues. Sure, once this program is working perfectly on every device then start looking at new features.

A couple of other issues i want to raise as well is that a number of these members and i use the term loosely only join to make their request, you can tell this by their post count and often will continuously repeat their request until they get an answer from A_C.

Secondly, using the SPB weather issue as an example, again "members" bombard this forum asking for compatibility with 2.0 but fail to read and search. I have mentioned before that A_C has said that the data is displayed differently and that if these members want this implemented they could help by trying to help decipher the data. So far only one member on this forum has taken my advice out of the numerous requests.

Just my two cents you don't have to agree with it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nqnguyen2:
wait, have you at least tried the d-pad option to unlock the device? sometimes i turn on the screen and hold down the right d-pad key and it unlocks for me just in case i can't look down at the screen. i also enabled vibrate upon unlock so i know exactly when it has unlocked.

in the S2U2 settings select "Others" and turn on "Directional Pad". give that a shot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] saketh321:
I just got the application and the only problem i am having is with the screen not locking during a call. If there is no call, the screen locks as i set it up but whenever i am in a call, it wont lock unless i am manually go in and lock it. Is there a work around to this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaLiTHkA:
Well, I wouldn't have put it quite that strongly.... Lol. But thanks. :D

I like that idea actually, I wasn't sure what it did when I saw the setting, but it's actually quite handy..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
1. Check that the phone should not be added in the exception list. You will need registry editor for that

2. Switch on "Blank Screen on Talk" in Power and "Lock when Screen is Blank" in General.

This should do the trick

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jokes On You:
The reason I stated that it would defeat the purpose of a simple lock program is for this reason. This is first an application to have a nice way of locking your phone. That is it's foremost purpose. If that wasn't the case A_C could have integration with applications a long time ago. Some of the requests I have seen would make it so that even with S2U you device could easily accessed thus me saying this is a simple lock program. So this isn't a high tech security system that will keep everyone out but it serves it purpose well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaLiTHkA:
Edit: Don't worry to respond to this post, I'm switching ROMs again. See this post for the reason...

That is an interesting question... Don't suppose he's been active on the other S2 app threads? I only use S2U2, looked at the others, but I wouldn't really make use of them..

The reason I came here now though, is to see if anybody can help with two very strange problems... :confused:

Firstly, since the last time I installed it (a few days back) it doesn't lock the screen if I press the power button to turn the light off. If I leave it to turn off by itself, then it locks the screen when the light dims and then 10 seconds later the screen goes black. *

That I can live with... But a more irritating problem is the fact that the slider has disappeared. O.o Like, completely gone. Vanished.. (see attached screen shot) Even dragging in the screen position where the slider was doesn't do anything. Fortunately I enabled using the d-pad to unlock so I can still get to my device, but even after a soft-reset it's still the same.

The images are still in the folder, and they still open correctly and let me view it, but S2U2 isn't displaying it. Anybody else had this issue before or am I the first?

----------edit----------

* Actually I think I know why the first point might be happening; I installed PSShutXP and integrated it with my power button by following these instructions:

1. Save and zip the file called “PowerOffWarning.exe” from the windows directory

2. Go to the directory that has your psshutxp executable in it and rename the psshutxp.exe to PowerOffWarning.exe.

3. Zip the new “PowerOffWarning.exe” and skin files into a zip file.

4. Execute the zip file and overwrite the “PowerOffWarning.exe” file in the windows directory.

5. Press and hold your power button and enjoy your new shutdown/reset/screen off options.

I was under the impression that the “PowerOffWarning.exe” file was only accessed with a long press of the power button, but perhaps it's affected that as well. I'll try put the original file back and see..

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PiperD:
I agree with both of you guys, in principle, and I apologize if I sounded heavy-handed. Unfortunately the reality is that 1) people don't use search and (2) for every outrageous suggestion you swat down, another one will come up to take its place.

Some people simply don't know how to behave harmoniously in a public space. It's the tragedy of the commons.

But I also fear that swatting down every and all suggestions while waving the "simple lock application" banner is the wrong approach as well. Even using the argument of bug-free vs. feature-rich, you still have to acknowledge that it's at A_C's discretion as to what he wants to do with S2U2. Suggestions don't come at the expense of bug fixes and vice versa unless A_C decides to devote his resources to one or the other. And it's his prerogative to do so.

And let's not forget that one challenging "feature" of the WinMo platform is in developing complex applications for the multitude of hardware platforms and vendor customizations that exist. 100% compatibility is a pipe dream, but I'm willing to bet that S2U2 v2.04 is doing very well judging by the the slowing growth of this thread.

I mean, if we wanted a simple lock application then A_C could have stopped development at the v0.x revisions, concentrating only on stability. The program continues to be developed not only for stability, but to provide usability. There's nothing wrong with the user base making suggestions which A_C may or may not choose to heed. If he wants to implement features half-assed and buggy, he can do so. Sucks for the users, but it sucks even more for him. So trust that he's working on it, and that he's not so impressionable that he'll feature-bloat the thing just because users are asking for everything under the sun.

Suggestions take all of one or two posts. Some, like SPB Weather 2.0 integration, can be responded to factually by anybody since A_C already weighed in. But some of the other suggestions are really good, yet

all

of them "defeat the purpose" of a "simple lock application". So let them stand, let A_C choose what to do, and we can go on reporting bugs and helping people solve problems they may be having.

As the saying goes - don't throw out the baby with the bath water.

Sorry for the OT rant and wall of text. XDA's a great place to be because there are a lot of smart people in here, and I suspect that A_C inhabits this forum to take advantage of that very resource. Perhaps, instead of swatting down a suggestion with "this is a simple lock application", we can instead talk about the technical reasons of how/why something can happen, or how/why it can't happen. Let A_C decide on the merit.

Hi Peeps,

I'm using Samsung Omnia I900 & can you guys help me out with the problem i'm facing now with my S2U2 funtions?

i edited the graphics to the 1 located at http://www.ac-s2.com/ the picture with a white clock.

i did one myself, editing one of the files located in the download directory, and copied the files to my S2U2 folder in my HP and it's working fine but lately, some errors occured.

the time background,white in color, remains @ the same section but the black numbers, time, shifted upwards.

something like the numbers rised out of the white box and i can't fix it even after i reinstall etc.. it's still the same.

don't mind help? thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kftgr:
The tapping to select a certain destination view is a good idea. The only thing is that it seems to be not as streamlined as just sliding.

When I was first suggesting the "Slide Up then Right" to get to S2P, I was thinking along the lines of a car's manual stickshift going to a different gears -- it's just one smooth motion.

So combine that with your idea of activating different views.... slide to the right, then drag the slider to the notification icons/weather icon/S2P to activate that destination. You still get the normal functionality of S2U, and add the Slide to View as described above, but without having to first tap on the icon. The only drawback is that far items on the screen might be too hard to reach (but then that problem still exists in the "tap" implementation).

Just installed few days ago, setting as below:

slide to answer :Always

slide to end: ON

S2A hard answer key: OFF

S2A hard end key: OFF

However noted when 1st call came in, the talk & end key of the phone cannot be activated to answer/end call.

OK..that what i want as according to above setting.

But when subsequent there is another call coming in(first call have ended), the talk & end key of the phone can be used to answer/end call.

Seem like the above setting perform 1 time only.

(need to activate ilock again to have the above setting to perform..but again 1 time only)

How to prevent this from happening..any other setting need to be done??

Any one...facing this issue.

I really enjoy this program. I've got 3 things to report which I'm not sure how to get it fixed. Will appreciate any help I can get.

I'm using a HTC Touch Pro 2 with the latest stock rom.

1. I've got a Parrot CK3000 Evolution, phone pairs fine but when a call comes in I cannot answer it. When pressing the answer button on the parrot it only transfers the ringing sound but doesn't answer the call. I've this morning played with it and when I close the iLock app then is works fine, but when running s2u2 then it doesn't work.

2. Every now and then when I open the phone directly (without first putting it on) and it wakes up in landscape mode then the screen will be all garbled.... but putting it off and on via the power button then makes it normal again.

3. When starting the the phone and iLock is in the startup then TouchFlo will not start.... also tried setting the application so that it will wait 20 seconds (max) but that only helps every now and then. I'm starting iLock at the moment afterwards by hand.

Bluetooth to me is a bit of a trainsmash as it makes life very difficult but the nr 2 issue really is not a big problem to me.

HTC Diamond2 Alarm Problem

I see alarm integration issue is mentioned frequently on this thread, but don't see any solution (except advice to use GAlarm).

That is true, I was just thinking of the easiest way to implement something without having to re-write the code for the slider.

Sounds like we have the starting ideas of a S2U3 here.. :D Either way, it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Oh, by the way... Regarding my problems a few days back (post here), I've been having trouble with the ROM I was using; decided to try Kancrutt's SX range of WM6.5 ROms for a while. Runs like an absolute dream for a while, beautifully fast, but I started having problems with features not functioning correctly and programs not responding correctly... I'm switching back to the tried-and-trusted Onyx WM6.5 ROM today though, that should sort out the problem I had.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Try to add Fring to the Exceptional EXEs list, read the S2U2 Settings.xls for details.

That works, but only for the temperature. The temperature displays correctly, but the associated icon is almost always wrong. For example, overnight it was chilly under 60 degrees; icon was a blazing sun with HOT written above it. The other day I had a t-storm icon while there was no clouds in the sky. All icons in Titanium weather were correct, but the icons on the lockscreen are often illogical.
