Option Suggestion

Suggestion

Since this software runs in the background, is it possible to start S2U2 after a certain time of inactivity. Currently, my PPC settings "Turn off device if not used for" 3 minutes. I would rather have the option to run S2U2 after 3 minutes(effectively turning off the device). Thanks for listening!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
Never thought of that. Would be a great option to have though! Maybe find a way to sync s2u2 with whatever time u set for ur device to shut off on battery and ac power? Dont know how hard that would be but would be a nice added feature!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NewKreation:
Even if I had to change the built-in timer to 5 minutes, I would be happy with S2U2 starting after a period of inactivity of 3 minutes. I don't know how easy this would be to monitor a Windows Mobile device not being used. However, you would think there is a way to monitor it, if all those media players can disable it from shutting down the device. I just hope that it is relatively straight forward to add as an option. The easier for the developer to integrate it, the more likely it is he will add it. ;)

S2U2 Not calling HTC Messaging

I tried searching for this issue, but did not have any luck finding it. When I slide to view the SMS, in opens WM messaging instead of HTC Messaging. Is anyone else having this problem? If there is a fix, could someone provide me a link to the post. Any help is MUCH appreciated!!

screen off glitch?

I've been having the same problem on the TP2. I would unlock the program and be typing a message, then the screen would go off. i turn the screen back on, and screen turns off again. not even done sliding the bar and its turning the screen off. this problem doesn't happen often, but when it does, i have to restart the phone so i can turn off s2u2 and re-start it. since taking off batti, the restart takes about 20-30 seconds, so i dont mind...but it is still annoying

Call Waiting Problem

A/C (or anyone else who can help),

Love S2U2 but I keep experiencing a problem with call waiting (BTW, I've searched at least the last 50 pages with no success). When I am on a call and receive an incoming call I and select the option to end call and answer the new call, my phone jumps to the default answer slide screen. By the time I slide to answer using the phone's default answer screen I've missed the call. Is there a way to bypass the default answer screen?

I'm using a touch pro 2 with Sprint (stock rom). Thanks in advance for your help.

I've got problems with the hardware volume buttons. They were not locked.

I disabled the option to change volume by S2U2. I also tried different settings for system lock.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Fix I can't suggest besides maybe adjusting the draw method (Advanced section of the Prefs I think), but you can turn off the "Caller ID" functionality entirely and the standard phone screen will show, not S2U2. That will workaround the problem if nothing else.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
For those that are interested in a proxomity sensor screen off:

Until A_C adds that in S2U2 (if he ever does ;) ), there's this tool.

Preferably use it with "ActiveOnlyIfLocked" = 1, and there you go.

Without the above option I end turning the screen off and locking it unwantedly all the time when passing too close to the sensor, for example when trying to tap to get the start menu.

FYI, the author has posted some code to access the sensor.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] manusfreedom:
Thanks this tool is very usefull.

Great App!

Have been using this flawlessly. Thanks for the program.

Ideas:

1. In the setting, possible to have option how many lines of SMS/Email preview window? I like reading short emails without going to the outlook

2. Possible to have option of font size and style for task/appointment/email/sms preview?

Magic Button

Hi all,

Need some help.

How to change background picture (in my case: HTC Touch HD).

Here's the actions I do: Settings -> Wallpaper -> File/Directory (Portrait) -> Then I'm navigating to my picture I want to set as wallpaper -> Tap on that picture and picture appers fullscreen -> ?!!??!!

And when picture is fullscreen on my screen I can do nothing. I can slide to next picture, I can rotate it. But can't select it as my Wallpaper. No other soft buttons appears on a screen. Double tapping also doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Great LONG thread & GREAT locking system! I have found many questions and answers so far but I have a question however.

I would like to DISABLE the TIME & DATE "BAR" from the screen. Is this possible?

I was able to disable the time by selecting clocksH (which I did not install the files for) and that removed the TIME :D

However the date is another story plus the bar for it.

Any ideas or can someone point me to the appropriate information?

Thanks!

not lookin during call on my Omnia II

Hi,

I am using S2U2 on my Omnia II, and I am quite happy, but I have a small issue:

if I am doing a phone call, and put the OII to my ear, the display will be switched of from the proximity sensor, after taking the phone away, the phone is also looked by S2U2.

I would like to disable this feature, since I like the "normal" Samsung caller window.

I have already switched "off" the "look screen when empty" and "start S2U, when backlight switch off", but this didn't solve my issue.

what can I do to not look by S2U2 during a call. for example add the "caller" to they exception list, but I don't know, which exe I have to had.

each idea to solve this issue, is highly appreciated!

Regards

Hi,

I believe you will be able to do it by going into your registry and navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2 and then scroll down to date format and press it, in the string, delete what is there, save it and restart ilock, that should work

Proximity Sensor on HD2

@ALL, especially HD2 users

First of all, thanks exidler for finding how to access the Proximity Sensor (PS) on HD2. Just tried to use it in this way: when the device is locked by S2U2, turn off the device when any object is close to the PS. It's simple & workable.

But after several tests, a problem came out which is quite not practical. It happens when the device is kept under a case or holster, the PS does not work as expected (i.e. if the device is accidentally waken up, check if any object is close to the PS, then turn the device off). The reason is there is a distance threshold for the PS to work, maybe around 5mm ~ 15mm between the object & the PS. But when the device is kept under a holster, that distance is almost zero.

Anyway, I'll add this feature in the coming release. But with the reason stated above, don't expect it could save the battery as most expected.

Screen locking after phone calls

Hi,

I have a similar problem to crazy66.

HD2 user running stock Telstra ROM with BSB Tweaks, Advanced Config and S2U2 running.

Love all three programs but S2U2 particularly!

At present when I hang up after a phone call the phone immediately locks. If the call was incoming and the number is not in my contacts I get a message asking if I want to add the number to a new or existing contact.

Plenty of times I've wanted to but as the phone locks after a fraction of a second after the 'add this number' dialog box appears I don't have time to answer the 'do I want to add' question.

I cannot find a way to set an exception for this.

How can I stop the phone from locking immediately after a call?

cheers

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Turn off these options under S2U2 Settings > Power:

- "Lock when Screen is Blank"

- "Lock when Backlight turns off"

- "Lock on Talk"

It's because S2U2 will lock the device again if the device is already locked before that incoming call.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] manusfreedom:
I just tested and I haven't this problem with the exidler soft. When the soft is launched and the sensor covered (< 5mm) if I power on the screen with the power button the screen turn off directly so it works. My device is HD2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crasy666:
@ A_C:

thank you for the help, but I have already disabled these three settings in the "power tab", it doesn't help.

looks like, that the proximity sensor will direct start the look screen (I believe it is linked to the original device look, which is now replaced by S2U2)

I am now searching for the name of the caller programm, and will add this to the exception list, perhaps this helps.

this issues is not "very annoying" but I like to have my phone most perfect.... :)

UPDATE:

I uninstalled S2U2, deleted all config files, and reinstalled V2.30, now it works as it should: if I am in a call, the phone will not be looked by S2U2, only the proximity sensor switch of the phone, as long as it is on the ear. Great! but still don't know why it works now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pedmond:
It has NO impact on stability. Personally, I love the animations, but I guess on a slower phone they may get choppy. Perhaps one of the settings could deal with that.

Midnight Maintenance

Everyone knows that the Pocket PC turns itself on at midnight to execute some maintenance routines, in particular the alarm initialization. There is a fault in that the delay to switch on the Pocket PC is only 15 seconds by default. That time lapse is too short to do it correctly. I changed that delay via registry many moons ago to 120 seconds. However, S2U2 seems to be shutting off the Pocket PC before having initialized the alarms and my alarm is not going off in the morning to wake me up. When I stretch the S2U2 off-time from 10s to 60s it fixes the problem. However, during the day this is a loooong time. There are a litany of options within S2U2. Is there any chance there is a solution for the extra time required for the alarm initialization?

Idea #1: Disable S2U2 between 11PM - 3AM.

Idea #2: 2nd Off-time between 11PM - 3AM.

Current Solution: MortScript to change the registry setting, and re-start S2U2 two times a day.

Thanks!

What phone do you have? I never heard of S2U2 messing up the alarms.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kaneelias:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChrisChorlton:
I'm a big fan - but....

I love S2U2 - but my favorite bit is the notifications - for SMS email and calendar. The full screen information and the choice to view or dismiss.

Is there a way to keep all those features - but not actually use the lock feature?

(Yes - I know that is what it is for, but my HTC touch has an on/off button which I'm more used to.)

So - to recap - I want S2U2 to do everything EXCEPT 'lock when device wakes up' - but if I turn that off, the other features stop working.

Please Mr A_C hear my prayer and I promise to donate!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] syrguy1969:
I know it will sound silly, but are you sure you have clock files in the 4th and 5th clock folders? Try option one + two and see if you get a clock showing. If you do, maybe your 4th + 5th clock-sets aren't saved correctly. If you still don't see a clock I would think of uninstalling, deleting reg files/settings and start from scratch.

S2U2 on Blackstone and Topix

Hi,

i try to use S2U2 since 1.5x and since then i nearly always have problems to anser a call. It did work every now and then, but i remember this time as always struggeling and hoping for the next update.

I experience the Fullscreen caller-id page as very slow or not working. Sometimes there is no way to anser a call. Sometimes the slider is extremly slow.

I must admit. Because i flashed quite a few roms (mostly topix) i can´t nail down anything, but my experience with S2U2 is really bad. It´s very unreliable.

So, what´s wrong with me. I guess many people are using this program. Is it the blackstone(´s graphic performance)? But then, i did work quite nicely every now and then.

I´m about to give up on this, altough i´d love this app.

Any ideas?

A couple of months ago I had the following problem, thought it had something to do with phonealarm bus it was definitely because of S2U2, the bug was even mentioned on this forum. Here's a description of my problem, maybe you can try to reproduce it...

- I start a call, get connection, screen goes out: all okay for now

- I end the call, I loose network connection (an "x" is next to the antenna symbol)

- I can perfectly start a new call or receive one!!

- An sms can't get through (outgoing) because "no radio connected"

- the phone dialer screen says "phone off"

- when I check the Connection Manager it says "airplane mode"

- switching off the "airplane mode" is not possible

- when I press the power button (into sleep mode), and press it again (even immediately), unlock my S2U2, everything is back to normal. Very briefly I see (on the S2U2 screen) a switch from: network name => no service => network name. I don't even need to enter my PIN.

Side note: when I end the call before it gets connected (AND the connection vibrate), nothing happens...

Hi nearlygod,

I am using s2u2 since 0.99 and am very happy with its performance. Initially I felt the performance lowered with 1.5 and felt the same way in answering the call. I am currently using version 2.30 and i am satisfied with its performance. I am using ASUS P320 which has a 200 MHZ processor and 64MB RAM with WM6.1. I have over 30 programs installed on my PPC. I am not sure of your PPC's configuration but I have seen performance difference between WM6.0 and WM6.1. If you want you can share your s2u2 settings details and i will share with you the difference aand accordingly you can make changes and check it.
