Feature request

Thank you for a great application.

I would greatly welcome one additional feature: a button or additional slider that would allow me to completely mute the device (both general and ring volume) in lock mode also during incoming call.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flashsam:
You can use the volume down button to mute the incoming call sound when a call comes in

Hey A_C

This is probably the best utility I have on my Hermes.

I do have an enhancement request, it you're happy to listen...

I love the notification icons for SMS/MMS/email etc, I was wondering if you could increase these to either hard-code include one for my preferred twitter client (PockeTwit) or open this up to allow users to configure these with an icon and a set of registry keys to check etc?

PockeTwit uses registry keys for unread counts, but it will need a little bit of work to only read the appropriate ones.

Does this make sense?

Many many thanks for a great piece of software!

how come sometimes it doesnt allow me to actually slide to answer? it will pop up but sometimes nothing happens when i try to slide it. however i can always answer with hard keys. can someone please please help me with this?

Would be nice if there were a picture on the icon of missed calls.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] |Blitzkrieg|:
Thanks for this awesome app! Installed it last night, loving it already :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mjmth:
Thanks for the reply.

However the volume down button mutes only the ring sound - the general sound/device sound volume remains unchanged - some voice announce applications will keep announcing the call even when you mute the ring tone. Therefore I would appreciate a button or slider that would completely mute the device ("panic mute button" ;) )

I've reduced the frequency of this issue by setting "On wake up, delay (ms) start of S2U2" to "off" under the Advanced settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pinttas:
someone please :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Epiktetus:
Let me add to the hundreds of posters above me... thank you. This is a "must have" app on my phone.

I have a feature request if you'd like (maybe there's already a way to do this through skins or what-not). You know how if you have an email, SMS, reminder, etc. previewing when you unlock, then it will launch the appropriate app? I love that, but I was wondering, what if I could launch other apps that way.

Apps like the camera, calculator, or notes are things that I like to launch as fast as possible. If there was an icon on the lock screen that I could highlight in a similar way and they would launch as soon as I unlocked, that would save several steps (especially in TouchFlo 3d) that I currently have to go through.

I am hoping someone can help me solve this little not so urgent problem.

I have set S2U2 to change wallpapers every 5 minutes and it does not change the wallpaper :confused:. I have tried having a folder on my internal storage as well as in the S2U2 install folder and still no change. I have gone over the FAQ and have not seen anything related to my problem.

Could someone please shed some light on this? I am only using the portrait wallpaper because I very, very rarely use landscape.

Oh and this is on a Touch Diamond...

Alright at the risk of sounding stupid how do i install this app on my sprint htc touch pro
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] slaman:
First of all - thanks for a great app! It's amazing and handled my Unlock screen defaulting to Home issue. A few questions:

1. When my devices wakes while in Landscape mode, I get a completely corrupted screen... how do I fix this or is it a known bug?

2. When I try to select a background, I browse and press the image I want - it goes into a slideshow mode, and I can't "select" the image... I can only select a folder... and even if I select random wallpaper, nothing shows up - just the giant battery and a grey/black background.

EDIT: Just found an answer to #2 here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4253812&postcount=1612 - but still need #1 answered please

I'm experiencing the exact same problem... did you manage to fix it? Also, have you gotten weather working?

Spent forever creating this file and getting the appropriate sizes... Drop this into your gfx folder (back it up first) and you will get icons that based on Spike's customized taskbar:

Since the lock and alarm icons are too close together, I can't do much with them.

Any idea on how to customize the battery guage on the right hand side (I want it to match Spike's battery icon) or the signal bars to the left (also want it to match Spike's)

S2U2 is a locking tool. It does SMS/Mail/Reminder because the phone alerts the user when locked. If apps are added, it's not Slide2Unlock anymore...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nqnguyen2:
you should google how to to install cab files. also, read thoroughly here about what s2u2 can and cannot do for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nqnguyen2:
yup, i agree. it would completely detract from what the original purpose of what s2u2 was designed for.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biker1:
Yes, A_C has expressed his thoughts on this very topic.

He has S2U2 running pretty smoothly with v2.04 and I think that is his major concern.

Alot of the requests for additional features detract from why S2U2 was created for in the first place.

I think it already does alot more than was first intended.

I have a feeling that when A_C adds another feature to S2U2 to satisfy some users requests, sometimes it opens up a can of worms regarding device conflicts, etc. and A_C ends up spending many hours trying to resolve those issues.

Its hard enough trying to get S2U2 to work on the many different devices that are already out there.

But I think A_C has achieved this goal with v2.04, or has gotten pretty darn close :)

Just my take on this issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brandonhall517:
so again, half the time my phone doesnt allow me to actually slide the bar to ignore or answer. after a soft reset it will work for a while, but then sotp again. how cna i fix this? thank you. att tilt
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Desibouy:
im not gettng any help in my questions :(

btw i figured my last question out, i want to ask, how can i stop it from locking itself?

i mean to say, when i using my phone and after 10secs or something of not touching the phone or using it, it locks itself, which sometimes is annoying. esp when i am using msn or skype and waiting for a reply then within a few secs it locks itself? i have set it to lock when blank and devices wake up..sorry.

I hope someone can helps me.

Thanks

Open S2U2 Settings, Power, untick "Lock when backlight turns off".

It happens when you're using the phone? or the same happens when the phone is turning off ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biker1:
Go to Settings >

Power >

Power Off in >

(see what it says, it may say 10s)

and set to Off

Let me know how it goes.

Btw, in "General" setting >

"Lock when Screen is Blank"

I have set to off
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brandonhall517:
Thank you for taking the time to respond, it happens when my phone is on sleep or when im using, same either way. but like i said, it doesnt happen everytime.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Epiktetus:
It's a lock and unlock tool that already launches several programs as well as gives weather, battery information and several other useful functions that are far beyond a typical locking app. Which is, of course, one of the many reasons that it's the best locking tool out there.

I'm not asking for it to actually include a calculator or camera app, just to be able to launch the existing ones immediately upon unlock. This would greatly enhance my use of my device and I don't believe I am alone.

Currently if I want to take a picture, I:

press the power button

slide-to-unlock

wait for the screen to load

click the start menu

find the camera app icon

click it

wait for it to load.

If S2U2 had the function I'm asking for (politely not expecting anything because I am also a freeware author and I know that he doesn't have time to implement every little idea that comes along but also appreciates cool ideas now and then) then I would:

press the power button

press the camera icon (that I configured to be there, no apps would appear by default for people like you that wouldn't like this feature)

slide-to-unlock

wait for the program to load.

This would save a few precious seconds that could mean the difference between getting a photo or not getting it. I can think of at least 4 programs I would absolutely LOVE to have listed there.

P.S. I wrote this before noticing the other two responses. Personally I'd happily see about half of the other features lost in favor of this one, but of course A_C has every right to choose what does and doesn't go into his app. It's been years since I've written for Windows Mobile, maybe it's time to write my own. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MAD_Matt:
Ok...Here is the Touch Pro 2 Landscape fix for S2U2!!!

1st, make sure you have an image that will look good in landscape (TP2 screen is 800x480, so in landscape you want the height 480 and the width 800).

2nd, in the Advanced section of the settings, set the Display Mode to RawBuffer. The default setting of Direct Draw was the cause of it messing up in landscape.

3rd, as DarkPrinceByWWW stated, you must turn off the Ignore screen rotation setting under the Other section. I say again, make sure that is off if you want the image to appear in landscape. If you have this set to on, the slider will appear in portrait mode.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MAD_Matt:
Here is an update on the fix. I just installed Smabergs actionscreen - new feature to powerbutton on top of phone:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=479206

and that made S2U2 Landscape mode go weird again!

I switched it back to direct draw and its fine.

WEIRD!!

Smabergs actionscreen is really cool, check it out!

Missed calls and messages notifications

First of all I should very humbly congratulate A_C for the wonderful softwares (S2P, S2V & S2U2). Any amount of praising wouldn't suffice for his effort (and mostly the free download part of it).

One feature which I think could make S2U2 more powerful is notification control for missed calls and unread messages. It would be great if S2U2 can notify these by playing a sound at a specified intervals (like a beep every 5 mins or so).

P.S. This feature would be great for a lazy guy like me who checks the phone only when I hear a call/message tone :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Desibouy:
Thanks!!! :D

Thanks it works!! :D

Both of you, i really appreciate your help :)

Last question - How do i switch of the date? i turned off my clock how do i get rid of the date 2? is there a setting? Thanks in advance.

Face down mute doesn't work with S2U2

Hi,

I found out that S2U2 disables the face down mute function of my TP2. I tried to set up an event with Gyrator to bypass this but it didn't work out. Has somebody found a solution to this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] breathment:
ya thats what I have to do as well, i think its a conflict with the device power settings. would like to be able to figure out for certain though so i don't wake up to my phone flashing on and off
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] breathment:
I'll 2nd that motion.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kaneelias:
does S2U2 block the reminder repeat function in windows mobile? i don't know because i do not use it, but if you go to Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications then from the drop down menu, select missed call, choose the desired sound and select repeat and do the same for new sms message, see how that goes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Timb320:
POssible to adjust weather location on screen? If not Maybe a idea..

Would be nice IF i could edit a xml/ini file to dictate where the weather icon appears on the screen, for that matter where the appointments are displayed or the slider and maybe the clock..

THen we could not only customize the graphics but thier placement.

writing to XML OR ini (which ever is easier for the dev) I know xml is not difficult, but I suspect AC already has code to read the lang.ini so could be easier to adapt that.

No Need for GUI settings as this would only be configured for custom skins and up to the theme builder to ensure top/left location is correct for the theme he/she creates.

Just a thought. I write code as well and dont think this would be too much overhead and add any regression bugs to the mix i.e. read it in at startup/load theme into global variables..

More feature ideas

I really like the UI concept of s2u2. Especially the double slider is really powerful.

Three things I'd like to see are:

Missed calls double slider:

view(call history) <-- slide2 --> call back (or sms or whatever, should be configurable)

Reminder double slider:

view <-- slide2 --> snooze(x in minutes, should be growable and or configurable)

Weather:

4 day forecast bottom row

tap to get big icon with more detailed info (screen would then look like weather tab in manila)

double slider:

Update <-- slide2 --> switch city

Overthink it and let me know if this is possible:)

Is there another thread that's used to suggest / request another S2 app...? I don't really want to go polluting the S2U2 thread with that. :) By the way, S2U2 is an awesome app, I love the range of options in the latest version. Nice job guys!

Is there anyway to set a longer time before the lockscreen appear? It's too fast for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] slaman:
Reinstall the app - it should overwrite any files... you set the wallpaper in S2U2 settings by clicking the Portrait tab, browsing to your wallpaper folder, clicking the graphic, and then holding the screen until a series of buttons pop up... that's when you can select the wallpaper.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] slaman:
Go to settings, and I think it's under Power... the default is 17s... I just turn it to off.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kazi_saki:
I reinstalled it but it still directed it to the non-existent file. I kinda did something so now the picture directory is "//". I don't even know what "//" is lol! The settings tab doesn't allow me to select the folder where the wallpapers are stored. It just flashes the highlighted folder but doesn't load it or select it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jokes On You:
Try going into the registry and changing the Wallpaper path. The location is HKCU\\Software\A_C\S2U2. Close S2U and iLock before you do any registry editing.

I would like to have it in start menu, or map it to some button. I am using some GPS tracking sw quite often, but during tracking, device is in my pocket locked by S2U2. I need to switch metioned option to ON, to keep GPS alive, because when this option is set to OFF, after specified period device goes to sleep and it also disables GPS.

Hi A_C,

I have to come back to the Problem of PhoneEx and S2U2 popping over the CallerID Screen from PhoneEx. I tested several options like delays of 1500ms or higher to start S2U2 or check Exception Exe´s not only in foreground. But no success!

BUT i searched and found probably the fault. When a Call comes in and is not answered S2U2 comes up and the phone immediately goes into standby. Why S2u2 isn´t popping op after the unanswered call and sets the phone into standby after the preconfigured amount of seconds??? I think somewhere here is the solution for the problem. Hope anybody can help me out or A_C notices for the next release...

Thanks in advance!!

cheers

Using version 2.04 on a HTC Touch Pro, I found out that when locked by s2u2 you slide the hardware keyboard out and press the EMAIL/SMS key, the email client of Touch Pro appears and the user has access to the device.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] solo rider:
Hi. I've just discovered S2U2. I've installed v2.04 on an HTC P3650, running WM6.1.

I've a few questions though.

I found S2U2 through a friend, his phone displayed the lock slider after he unlocked the display. So all he had to do to lock again, was drag the slider the other way.

At the moment I have to run S2U2 from the programs list, it locks the phone but when I drag the slider to unlock the phone, it does so, but then disappears. I can't use it to lock the phone afterwards.

I've been through the setting many times, but can't seem to find how to keep the slider on the display after I unlock the phone.

Also, when using the phone, if I press the call history button, the phone now makes a long bleep noise. Is anyone else getting this ?, what is the fix for this, please.

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Solo.

Do you mean that S2U does'nt run again after you have unlocked it? So if you go back to the start menu and hit S2U it wo'nt run?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] syrguy1969:
I have a feeling it either isn't S2U2 at all, or your friend wrote an app that accomplishes what your talking about. Does this slider image stay on the screen the untire time it is unlocked? If you can get a screenshot of it, that may help figure out what your questioning? (what app it is, or what it is your seeing)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] solo rider:
Hey, thanks for the replies.

It seemed to me, that when he moved the slider from left to right, the phone unlocked AND the slider remained on the display. So then, he could just move the slider from right to left and the phone would lock again.

However, if once he had unlocked the phone, he then went on to open another app, the slider disappeared and only reappeared when he returned to the WM today screen, where the slider was there for him to use to lock the phone with.

He has the HTC touch HD and so is running the VGA version of S2U2.

Anyone having the long noisey bleep when they push the call history button in the HTC phone skin ?.

Its a nice little app, and if I can put an end to the bleep, then I think a donation is in order.

Cheers :)

Solo.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jokes On You:
S2U doesnt do that.The only application I know that you could do something like that with would be WAD. That maybe another lock application but not S2U. As for the beep I have no idea where that is coming from. Maybe someone with a similar device maybe able to help you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] solo rider:
JoY.

Ok, perhaps hes got something additional working on his phone then. I can't contact him at the moment, but I'll ask.

Ref the bleep. Before installing S2U2, the call history button made a quiet, softer, more refined bleep. But now its a full-on Fog-Horn of a bleep, like a basic system error sound, like keeping a key depressed, etc.

I'm not even sure where to start looking ( I have little experience of this type of thing ). As I said earlier, I'm using the telephone, so I'm looking at the HTC polaris/P3650 phone skin. When I hit the number keys, they make their correct sound. So now I'm wondering, what controls the sounds for the phone skin ?.

Should I be looking in the registry, or do I need to look at the HTC software ?.

Shame really, cos if I can't get it sorted, I'm going to have to remove and reflash, the noise is that bad.

Anyway, thanks for your replys, much appreciated :)

Have you tried putting your GPS program into the exceptions list in the registry? There isn't a user interface for this, you'll have to read how to do it in the readme file. It prevents S2U2 from locking when any apps listed as exceptions are active.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darebak666:
.. this will not solve my needs, I do not want to disable the S2U2, I just want to have some quick option to toggle mentioned setting without entering the S2U2 settings.

Exceptions list prevents the device to be locked when some app is runnig...and I do not have any problems about it. The problem I have is, that after the device is locked, in 15sec(depends of setup) it goes to sleep, and it turns off the GPS, but when I set but only Blank screen, the GPS keeps alive after device is locked by S2U2.. so I am looking for some quick way how to toggle this option..
