one very important question that you have failed to address, how would any one who got your phone and did not know the pin know that you had task manager assigned to one of the buttons, i think this would be very rare, a smarter suggestion would be to power of the device and tap the screen so the back light does not have time to go off.

I think the "BUG" is your unrealistic thinking, if you don't like it don't use it simple as that.

feature request for password lock

please only allow device to vibrate when an entry is actually made. otherwise do not vibrate.

for instance, it currently vibrates when i tap the screen and accidentally drag my finger which does not make an entry. otherwise it works great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kaneelias:
Please excuse me deleting most of your post, i did not want to take up forum space quoting the entire thing but i did want you to know that i was responding.

I agree with pretty much everything you say and i think you will find that most time suggestions are swatted with that term which must not be named is due to members looking for integration specific for them.

Majority of the improvements implemented by A_C are for applications which every person will use eg. messaging, calls, tasks etc. or at the very least are in built to the rom they are using. Where i have a problem with some of the requests are when they are for integration with programs which are optional and only a small minority may use. Let's be honest if A_C took every request and integrated with every program mentioned, then all his time would be spent on this and no progress would be made.

I think, no i am positive that A_C's features are implemented to benefit the vast majority of users and implementing every application under the sun goes against the simple unlock program.

Windows Unlock menu appears after "sliding" to unlockHi

Hi there,

Great app. I was wondering if anyone has a solution to the nagging Windows Mobile "Unlock" menu that appears on the bottom left hand corner of the screen after sliding to unlock the phone. It's a major pain, since after I slide to unlock, I now have to press the unlock menu option on the bottom left, then tap "Unlock" or press "*" to unlock the phone.

I searched the web, and there are references to a Personal Settings - Buttons - Wake Up tab in the phone settings, but I don't have that tab.

Thanks for any suggestions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tazboysdad:
This is the same question that I have asked in the past also. PLEASE, if anyone can help, we would greatly appreciate it. I don't know what phone albyone has, but mine is a Verizon Samsung i910. If we can get rid of the pesky 2nd lock, this would be almost perfect.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kaneelias:
what version of windows mobile are you running,

do you have start>settings and in the personal tab there should be "lock" can you turn that off?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] saumaun:
Please learn how to speak without insulting others or making a fool out of yourself.

Lets see... how would someone know you have a button assigned to the task manager? Hmm, perhaps said person would know by pushing the button! Did that ever phase you? This user is trying to make everyone aware of a possible bug.

If a phone is locked, people are probably going to try pressing some random buttons and see what happens. This is not 'rare'. So, the OP's point was VALID. You, sir, are a disgrace to the community when you speak with such lack of respect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaLiTHkA:
(Quotes shortened)​

Perhaps if you could give a bit more information, more people would be able to help... I haven't had this problem on my HTC Elf with any ROM I've tried.

I can tell you don't have an Elf or Elfin though; they don't have a keypad and therefore no * button, care to share a bit more info?

At the same time, I'm having a slightly different problem that's proving to be mildly irritating. Previously this worked perfectly on the same ROM, and it only started after I reinstalled everything last night. S2U2 installed without a problem straight to device (not memory card), and I haven't done anything different compared to the last time I installed it.

When the device screen blacks out on it's own after the timer, the screen locks without a problem... But if I press the power button to switch off the backlight (as I prefer to do), it doesn't lock.

General settings:

Lock when device wakes up = off

Lock when Screen is Blank = on

Power settings: (same for both 'on battery power' and 'on external power')

Lock when Backlight turns off = on

Power Off in = 30s

but only Blank Screen = off

I don't have S2P or the S2A ('Phone' in settings) side enabled, and I haven't customized any files in the app. If it makes a difference (I've read somewhere here that this affects it sometimes), the On wake up, delay (ms) start of S2U2 and Delay (ms) Blank Screen on Talk are both set to 300ms.

Anybody got any bright ideas...? :confused:

How can I configure S2u2 to ignore alarm notifications (it doesn't matter whether alarm notification window will be shown or not , I just want the sound to be played) ?

I can't find any "manual" on S2U2 features and configuration options
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Batistian:
Like this ? (Click on the picture)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaLiTHkA:
Yeah, that does work... I tried that last night as well, but in that case I have another question; I take it the SIM PIN code prompt is handled by the same .exe as the actual phone side? If so, would the screen still lock during a call (by the settings) if I add that as an exception in the registry?

At the end of the day, I would rather have to put up with unlocking my device every time I soft reset and have it lock properly when the backlight turns off... :D I'll try the exception idea and see what happens.

Edit: Actually... I can't try add it to the exceptions, I have no clue which exe it is that controls the PIN prompt on my Elf... LOL. Anybody care to shed some light on that?

Is it possible to put an icon like Sms, Mail, Tasks, weather Notifications with the icon of RSS Hub number of news in the stand by screen of s2U2 ???

Sorry for my english and sorry if it is post.

thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcsxda:
Get a life man!

Kaneelias was not being rude or agressive and did not insult anybody

I actually agree with him, not the OP or yourself:- this is a lock screen to prevent accidental usage app (with lots of additional functionality added since)

It is not a security lock app ...A_C makes that very clear, and users understand it

So I disagree with you -the OP's point was not valid

You fail to live up to your own standards by insulting ("disgrace") and attacking a pretty normal post, from a very helpful member ...shame on you saumaun :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaLiTHkA:
Sorry, I need to add my two cent's worth here.. :D

In all honesty, if S2U2 was designed to be a nice fancy, bullet proof, high security app, do you honestly think it would be free...? I highly doubt it. It's free, so enjoy what you get; if you have a request or a problem, politely report it and wait to see what the creators and designers of the application (genius people, seriously) say about it... :D

OpenGL

Hi A_C

I've just tried your OpenGL version of S2P and the graphics & movement on the screen look great on my Touch Pro2. Do you have plans to introduce an OpenGL version of S2U2? It would be great if you did!

Thanks

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] saumaun:
I beg to differ. If the OP states that he can activate a program on top of S2U2, then it is possible that a bug exists where the coding of said program to bring itself to the front makes S2U2 go underneath that program.

And the nature of Kaneelias' response was very rude to someone who was trying to help by reporting a bug. I did not call him a disgrace, I called him a

I am saddened to see how rude many people have become on these forums that are intended to be helpful and productive. Harsh wording, negative comments, and members acting like everyone owes them something.

If someone makes a bug report like the OP and you feel it is invalid, you can kindly point that out. Perhaps by saying something like this:

You see? That type of response reinforces the OP's participation and feedback, gives an evaluation of the bug report, and again reinforces his feedback. THIS is the type of response you should be hearing out of helpful members, not comments like:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
If people do read the README or FAQ first, this thread will be more cleaner...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] saumaun:
A_C, I understand what you're pointing out. But would that answer still apply if one of those hard-coded buttons are mapped to something else, like a task manager?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
If that particular key or action is born to by-pass the normal system call, it makes no difference.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] saumaun:
The user I'm referring to seems to have a TyTN. Are there such buttons on the TyTN that are coded directly as mentioned? The only result I could find referred to S2A with the TyTN II where a user could still answer with hardware keys.

EDIT: A_C, I have to add... My comments are in

NO WAY

intended to be geared towards you. I cannot express how grateful I am of all your hard work. Implementing a lock feature was something I asked for long ago when S2U1 first came out. You made that a reality, and for that I am deeply appreciative of your work. I may not be able to contribute money at the time, but I will gladly offer you my web design and graphic design services if you need any assistance.

Has anyone solved the headset "bug"? The headset icon is shown although no headset is plugged in. After a hard reset about some days ago there was no headset icon, but since yesterday its back :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Probably not as there is no 3D element within S2U2.

You have to ask HTC. But according to the user's report, I believe it belongs to that kind of particular keys.

It'll be fixed. But could any Touch Pro 2 user tell me what's the value of this registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\Platform\PowerMode\ActiveProfileMask) when a BT headset is connected?

Hi A_C, first of all thanx for your work.

I would like to report a small problem found recently, on device boot, whatever is started iLock2.exe utilizes up to 100% cpu and forbids any other applications to start, what i have to do, is to stop it and start again, then all applications are started and also ilock2 is started properly. If you don't have idea what may cause such behavior, probably you can describe what ilock2 is doing during first start. I was trying to play with a boot delay, but still no luck.

I have wm6.5 with manila 2.5 (which can't start until ilock2 is running).

s2u2 and touch pro 2

Anyone have any more fixes for the touch pro 2 landscape thing? I an confirm that changing the settings to raw buffer works, but its only temporary. Changing it back to direct draw also fixes it temporarily, but I'd rather not have to keep going back and forth every hour lol. Is there anything that can be done? Or just have to wait for the next release?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Thanks.

Try to set a longer "Boot up Delay". However, the next release will allow a longer delay (> 20).

Thanks & wait for your next report.

Unless someone is willing to send me a Touch Pro 2 for testing, otherwise I don't know how to fix it yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SxNova:
Well I'll keep checking back here then and hope there's a fix eventually. Thank you for your work, I've been using s2u2 for a long time now :).

S2U2

S2U2 has exibited weird behavior. Yesterday, when the device came out of sleep mode, the s2u2 wallpaper was not there. The rest of the screen was fine, and the slide worked. However, when I tried the Settings/Wallpaper to put it back thinking it was some random fluke, the entire gfx folder was empty!

Luckily, I double checked using the file explorer, and all wallpaper pngs were in the folder. S2U2 was not reading the folder contents. Very odd! Soft reset did not work, nor did shutting down the device, waiting, and restarting. It was necessary to reinstall S2U2. All was fine for a day.......

Now, the wallpaper disappeared again, but this time, the gfx folder still had all the content. S2U2 was not seeing or reading the "wallpaper" png.

This time, reinstalling was not necessary. A soft reset brought back the wallpaper.

The wallpaper for s2u2 was the only thing affected. The wallpaper used by ifonz underneath was still there.

I have switched to a different wallpaper in the same s2u2 folder to see if that affects it at all (doubt it). The only other thing I can try if the problem persists, is to use wallpaper from a different source (ifonz). I don't think it is a problem with the device or windows, but rather s2u2.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kaneelias:
My apologies if i offended you in anyway. I still see it as being very unlikely that anyone would think that Task Manager would be assigned to a button. As A_C stated this is not a high security program maybe if you are worried about this happening there is a more secure program out there for you. I think i can conclude that this is not actually a bug as A_C is aware of it

Finally, please feel free to use my username and don't refer to me as "the user"

@jcsxda and ZaLiTH, thanks for defending me while i was not able to respond myself and for supporting my thoughts
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kaneelias:
very strange, are all the wallpapers you use png's. Have you tried a different format, as i am aware the default wallpapers for S2U2 are jpg's and the ones i use are jpg's as well and have not had any issues.

Maybe the wallpaper files are too large and the program is having trouble getting memory to find them. Are you running any other large programs while this is occuring?

I think you may need to try some trial and error tactics to solve this one but let me know how you go.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kaneelias:
which alarm are you using? try letting the alarm go off while S2U2 is not running then go to your task manager and find the alarm in task manager (it will be a .exe) and add it to the exceptions list in the S2U2 registry.

If you let me know which program you are using for the alarm i will talk you through adding it to your exceptions list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tazboysdad:
OK, you want more info? I'll give you more info, for the 3rd time. I have a Verizon Samsung Omnia i910 with WM 6.1. I'm using version 2.04 of S2U2. What else would you like to know? I went to start/settings/personal/lock and all that is for is to assign a password, not to make the main lock go away. By using S2U2, I have basically added a 2nd lock to my device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaLiTHkA:
I highly doubt that was necessary; especially seeing as I haven't seen your other posts. Perhaps (as so many other people have suggested in virtually every thread on this wonderful forum), put your device specs in your sig. That'll save you a fair amount of typing and frustration, along with making it easier for other people to help you... At the end of the day, forums are all about sharing information and knowledge anyway, not so?

I have to point out that I'm not familiar with the Omnia phones, but from my experiences with different WM versions (mostly 6.1 though) I can only suggest software related ideas; by the way, do you have the original ROM or have you flashed a custom one?

The only thing I can think of is that you might possibly have another application that is automatically engaging the standard Windows Mobile device lock... S2U2 itself doesn't seem to do that, and no version of WM that I've seen has that functionality built in.

If that isn't the case, then I'm not sure what else to suggest, hopefully somebody else can help you.

EDIT

Looking back through your posts, I found this:

So, not the WM lock? Here's an idea, why not take a screen shot and show us what you see? (such as Screen Capture from Ilium Software) If nobody else has replied to you yet, perhaps it's simply because they don't know what to say...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biker1:
@tazboysdad

I read your post and checked my Diamond even though it's a different device, but the proprietary Lock sounds similar.

I have a box in Personal Settings under Lock that says > "Prompt if device unused for..." I have that box unchecked.

If I check the box, then the Password box highlights to enter a password.

It sounds similar to your device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bodisson:
Most probably ZaLiTH is writing about this (see attachment).

It's known that some providers are removing/disabling certain portions of WM 6.x, so Verizon could have done something like that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] patience88:
I've got a small question.

Is it possible that the time displayed with the missed call notification is in the 24 hours format?

I can't find anything in the faq and discription file.

Thanx in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaLiTHkA:
I do remember reading that tazboysdad didn't need to enter a password, so I doubt it's that.. I know the standard WM distributions don't lock automatically (really wish they did, but anyway), so unless Verizon added something like that, it could be either a different third party app (other than S2U2) installed that's causing that, or a completely random result of something that S2U2 is doing, the latter isn't likely though from what I can tell...

Could always try remove S2U2, turn the screen off and on again to see if it still locks again...?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rfarrah:
I have an Omnia i910 - maybe I can help, if I can manage to understand the question.

How does your Omnia get locked when NOT running S2u2 - automatically (just letting it turn itself off) or manually (holding down the END key or hitting the top power button briefly)? ...or something else? To unlock it, do you have to enter a password, or just the additional unlock" step/button?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sixpaxs:
It's specific to the Omnia. Go under start/settings/personal/buttons and then the wake up tab on the bottom. There is an option there 'When device is woken up, lock device'. Uncheck.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andrew-in-woking:

kaneelias,

Thank you. I have tried another wallpaper in the s2u2 gfx which has been stable with the phone powered for the past 24 hours. I will shut it down tonight, and during the day tomorrow to see if that has an effect. Trial and error is in progress.

Did I say png? Where was my head? Sorry, all the files are jpgs. The wallpaper that gave me trouble was resized from a larger photo down to 240x320 for QVGA. Maybe as you said, either it was a bit too large and not a true 240 x 320, or another program was sucking up memory.

Appreciate your help and wll let you know what happens.

Thanks again my friend.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tazboysdad:
I apologize for sounding like an asshole. It is just so frustrating having to keep explaining everything. Thank all for your replies, however 1) Biker1, I have the same thing and yes, it is unchecked. 2) ZaLiTH, this lock was on the phone when I got it. It says unlock in the bottom left corner and you have to click that and it takes you to a secondary screen that says tap on the unlock box. 3) rfarrah, it will lock both ways, either times out and locks, then S2U2 will show up OR if I hold the end key it will lock, then the S2U2 shows up. 4) sixpaxs, I also have that unchecked.

Maybe I will just have to live with it. Thanks again.

im using Omnia too, if you want just the S2U2 lock w/o invoking the classic/WM6.5 lock.

Under power settings>battery power>On Battery Power (choose none) instead of Turn off device..

then map a softkey / hardware key to S2U2 instead of using end key/power button to lock

viola, u will have only S2U2 lock, no double locking....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaLiTHkA:
Yup, I had picked up on that, thanks.. Useless piece of info, but I was searching for a way to automatically lock my device using that very same lock when I found S2U2. Lol.. Good times.

Out of curiosity though, did you see this post here:

I didn't see anybody reply to it, so it could've possibly been missed.. Does that tab 'Wake Up' maybe exist on your phone?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bodisson:
1. Please do not quote such quantity of post. Your question would be understandeable without that quote.

2. AFAIK, there is NO space on SIM to contain caller picture. Therefore I think that pictures are availlable only for contacts saved on phone...

On the other hand, I have not saved any contact on SIM since Siemens M45... Maybe new SIMs support this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rfarrah:
It really wasn't that hard for me. No special mapping or anything.

Try this: go to settings>buttons. Across the bottom is a menu that scrolls sideways. Scroll to Wake up, click it. Make sure the box that says, "when device is woken up, lock device" is UNCHECKED.
