S2U2 is definitely not one of my fav. programs, I had numerous problems with it and it seemed to drain the battery quite a bit.

Speaking of which, with PocketShield active now, I see the Topaz screen kind of "blinking" now and then, what is PocketShield doing in the background?

Also, why don't you just use the notification queue issueing a CNT_EVENT to fire PocketShield after the device returns from suspend? Then you should be on the safe side.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Just noticed new version of PoerOPtions/MyShutdown1.1 on first post. Suspend works like a charm with pocketshield. Seems to be the same behavior as the "special" version before (?).

Thank you. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Yes, I noticed strange behaviour (see my previous post), so I switched back to what I was originally doing. Looks like WM gets kind of confused when first forcing screen off then suspending the device right after each other in one thread (even when pausing inbetween).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tatsch:
btw: Does this app use a similar approach?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544016
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Concerning what? It appears PocketShield needs the 15 seconds of suspended time when suspending with that program to fire up, so like it was with mine in v1.0.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Nothing special. I just thought, a comparison with a similar app would be generally helpful for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Thanks, I had seen it already :) Funny that we both came up with something like that at the same time. Maybe he had seen my past efforts with the stand alone apps in the Topaz section, hehe. His has skinning already, so those desperately wanting to skin, should have a look at it :) Personally I don't like having only 1 button for suspend/lights off like his has and having to switch via the menu (which doesn't seem to save the settings yet, so "sleep" will only turn off the screen by default).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] criszz:
how u can assign to power key ? btw i have psShutXP working great on TD2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Please have a look at this posting concerning key assignment.

psShutXP does not shut down the device, the shutdown portion only puts it in standby mode.

hth,

Tin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] criszz:
lol try this out )))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Why should I, my software works without patches ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] criszz:
Yes i like it, in fact i will use , just I did not agree with u about Pshutxp on TD2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PoisonWolf:
TC,

I have given your program a try and it is indeed very nifty. In the future, would you consider giving the program the ability to reset your phone at a specific time say daily, weekly, or every X hours or something?

That would be most cool. I am aware that I can hook mortscript to your device to do scheduled reboot, but I figured that integrating everything into one program would make it much more convenient.

Also, have you seen any of those iReflect high resolution icons?

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Surely something to think about, out of curiosity though: why would someone need that?

They are really nice, yes. When displayed in full they take almost double size though. I'll see what I can do :) Thanks for your feedback!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PoisonWolf:
TinTin,

Well, I find that Windows Mobile generally needs a reset daily in order to keep it in its tip top condition (in my opinion). I generally reset my device every day so being able to do this inside a single program that also resets safely will indeed give me a peace of mind.

Cheers.

Changes August 8 / 2009

MyShutDown_No_Warning v.1.1

- calling internal HTC function now instead of PowerOffWarning to support a wider variety of HTC devices

PowerOptions v1.2

- calling internal HTC function now instead of PowerOffWarning on Shutdown to support a wider variety of HTC devices

- changed UI (black background)

- changed application icon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] btonetbone:
I upgraded to v.12 of PowerOptions, and it's now too big to fit on my QVGA screen. Any chance you can look into this on future releases?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jez83uk:
Shutdown doesn't work on HTC Hermes, it just suspends instead.

PsShutXP did the same thing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Sure, sorry about that.

Please try attached version, that should do.

hth,

Tin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Which ROM are you using? Did you install the latest v1.2 of PowerOptions? Or did you install MyShutdown ?

PowerOptions/MyShutdown should not suspend instead of shut down, it shouldn't do anything if the shut down portion doesn't work.

Do you have either or both of these files in your \Windows folder: PowerOffWarning.exe or HTCUtil.dll ?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] btonetbone:
Looks great! Now, the only catch is that Shutdown blanks the screen (and leaves the buttons lit). I can then push the power button to bring the device back up and re-tap Shutdown, which will then finally turn the device off.

Thanks for an awesome app.

Ivan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
If you wait a few seconds after the screen went off it doesn't shut down? I don't get that behaviour on my Topaz. Anyway will change something.

Thanks!

Problem with Shutdown on Sprint Treo Pro

Nice app other than that 'Shutdown' on my STP REALLY shut the phone down...pressing power botton did not power the phone back up. I have to pull the battery (a pain for me as I'm using one of those clear hard plastic case shield) to get the phone power back on. For that reason, I considered 'Shutdown' dangerous and useless, at least on the STP. Anyone else encountered this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jez83uk:
I tested PowerOptions v1.2 in crc's13.3 rom

The Hermes has htcutil.dll, but not poweroffwarning.exe. Instead the power warning comes from gwes.exe, and this is the case on all roms I've tried.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Please redownload, I replaced v1.2 - the shutdown will not work on a Palm Spring Treo, it only works on HTC devices, you should get a message about it now. The screen off works for you though?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
As mentioned in the first post, it should work from Kaiser on. It may not on Hermes, as that came out earlier. Can you send me a copy of your HTCUtil.dll ? And also please try again with the replaced 1.2 I uploaded. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fktoss:
Re: Sprint Treo Pro

Tin,

I was running v12.0...Other than the 'Shutdown' issue on my STP, the other works fine. I thought STP was made by HTC...So I'm a little confused there.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
That went by me, sorry - I thought Palm still did their own thing :) Did you try once more with this new upload ?

Download PowerOptions v1.2 WVGA (480x800)

Download PowerOptions v1.2 QVGA (240x320)

I removed the screen blanking before shut down - that seemed to cause a problem. Instead you'll see the wait cursor now.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] btonetbone:
Perfect fix! This is working great on my Titan. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fktoss:
Sprint Treo Pro / LG Incite

Tin,

Thanks for the update. When using 'Shutdown' in the latest v1.2 QVGA on my STP, it 'reboot' the phone instead of total shutdown that required a battery removal. On the LG Incite, it just popped with an error: 'This operation is not support on this phone.' Other buttons are working fine.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Thanks for your feedback. I sent you a private mail on this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hhx:
It don`t work on my sony X1 (WM6.1WEE):confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
suspend dosent work on my kaiser running shifu v13 ROM... the screen goes black and immediatly turns back on and po shuts itself down

everything else works fine...

i agree... the phone runs much better with regular reboots....

there is a simple program out there for it now...(attached) but it dosent work on my current ROM... it uses a diff date format and i think it causes the program to crash

and i would like to +1 for skinning support... or at least maybe make a couple popular formats...

m2d blue

tf3d green

all black

etc...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Do you have S2U2 installed?

po is meant to shut itself down after the action, so that's ok.

I'll look into skinning next :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] taospirit:
thx the app seems to work very well on my touch HD. Hope we could skin or modify buttons soon...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
s2u2 is not installed..

I stopped using it because of too much battery/memory usage..

any suggestions about the suspend issue?

thanks for a great app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fredcatsmommy:
because I have mortscripts that run certain programs at certain times, I have use for multiple soft reset programs that auto soft reset at predefined times. Any way of adding that option to your no warning soft reset program, where the user can preset what time the phone is to soft reset? Much appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
I was asking, because I had the same issue with suspend when testing S2U2, even when turning the "lock after suspend" completely off. The problem even continued after I uninstalled S2U2. I guess it is because it makes significant changes to the video system and not everything might be reverted.

Anyway, I just uploaded v1.22 of PowerOptions, see if that helps on your Kaiser, please.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
I'm looking into a possible solution already, can't say when it will be available yet though.

hth,

Tin

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
ver 1.22 did the trick... thanks!

p.s. i never installed s2u2 since i flashed this ROM

now all you have to do have it so you can assign it to the power button from the program itself... throw in a scheduler and add skinning support and it will be the perfect app! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PoisonWolf:
TinTin,

If I'd like to use version 1.22, do I need to uninstall the previous version? Can I just install over it?

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
You can just install it over the old one, the CAB will uninstall the old one. You may uninstall it manually yourself too however, it doesn't matter which way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fredcatsmommy:
appreciate your looking into it. Unfortunately most of the reset programs only let you program one soft reset, so I find myself having to use a couple if I want to automate it. thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PoisonWolf:
Tintin,

Thanks mate. Version 1.22 is much nicer.

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gregytan:
Thanks Tintin, works like a charm :) keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
I've thought about that quite a bit and came to the conclusion that it will not be a good practice to hook to the key programatically myself.

It would be "stealing" the existing hooks and my program (or a small extension) would have to reside in memory constantly. Also if another program comes along trying the same they will not "know" about each other.

The existing hook on most HTC devices checks for Long_Power.lnk (and Short_Power.lnk) and that is quite a perfect way, since other applications will - if the file exists - know that there is already another app "hooked" to that key and can act accordingly (ask the user if they are sure they want to replace functionality of the key).

So what I will probably do is give the users the option to hook to long or short power press and then create the file long_power.lnk or short_power.lnk for them, whichever was picked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
this is what i was thinking and it sounds like you could implement this, it would be great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PoisonWolf:
TinTin,

I personally would not want to hook the program to any physical buttons. My goal is to use the power button on the TouchHD as little as possible (seen some freaky stories about the button giving way after a while). Your program lets me do that safely and easily. Ergo, thank you for the program, it's perfect for my needs!

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluemetalaxe:
@tintin: just found this here, i´m the creator of the ireflect iconset. if you want i can make you some cleaner icons in that style. Just need to know the size, file format (bmp?) and what kind of background (black ?). PM some details if you want and you´ll get it within a day.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PoisonWolf:
Blue,

Thank you so much!

This will make the icons in there so much more awesome!

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
tyvm for the offer! I'll try to pack things up before I leave on monday (going to ireland for a week) and will send them to you :)

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Steve James:
Great app, but it really doesn't like being linked to the short_power button.

On my Touch HD, if I press the Screen Off button, then I can't turn the device back on. I have to use the long press power button or soft reset.

Also, the Standby button leaves the application active when you short press the power button to bring the device out of standby. Although this seems to be dependent on how long you leave the device in standby.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
I'll see if anything can be done about that, please link to the long press power button instead, then you shouldn't get the problem with not being able to get the screen back on.

That should not happen when PowerOptions isn't linked to short press power button either or is this unrelated?

Thanks,

Tin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tigerro:
Not good or experienced at this kind of thing, but have downloaded WVGA version onto Xperia and most of it works great. Standby doesn't work too well though. Flashes off then on again - then off. After a few minutes it comes on again (on its own). Then 'manual' standby won't turn the screen off either - and neither can I get poweractions to open. So a kind of hang for a while.

I've got SPB mobile shell 3 running and Kaspersky's real time protection and firewall - I don't know if those make any difference or not.

Love the convenience of soft reset and shutdown, and will be very happy with just those two as standalones if necessary - a really useful utility.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Steve James:
I'm also getting issues sometimes on the long press with the standby function. If I tap the icon then the device goes off, switches back on for a second or so and then switches off again.

If I check the task manager on resuming (from standby/screen off), then PowerOptions is active in the background.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tigerro:
Just discovered that screen off just doesn't turn the screen off, though it did before standby didn't work properly. I haven't got a clue as to what to look for that could be interfering with the screen standing by or going off with this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Steve James:
I'm not running either of these apps and have experienced the same problem too
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tigerro:
Thanks for that. :) At least I know not to mess around with those two apps now which is a relief.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Can you confirm that you are running the latest version of PowerOptions v1.22 ? I think there are some download sites that picked up the older version. So, before I try to investigate this, please let me know...

Thanks for your feedback!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tigerro:
Thanks for coming back so quickly.

The property on the cab file I downloaded says

PowerOptions_v1.2

(not v1.22)

I'll find v1.22 then upload that and check it out and get back here with the result. Thanks for the info.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
The latest versions are always attached to the first post of this thread, here are the download links:

Download PowerOptions v1.22 WVGA (480x800)

Download PowerOptions v1.22 QVGA (240x320)

Please download , install on top, then soft reset once.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tigerro:
Sorry, missed that, removed previous program via active sync, removed previous cab, then downloaded from http://freewareppc.com/download/utilities/poweroptions.shtml so didn't get an option for WVGA or QVGA but did do a soft reset after running the 1.22 cab.

After the soft reset here's what happened in order:

Standby: OK

Screen off: Might have pushed it too quickly, went off flashed on, but then pushed it again and it went off OK.

Dim Light: OK

Standby: OK

Screen off: Flashed back on again but then off OK

Shutdown: OK

Screen Off: Flashed off then back on. Did it again: OK

Standby: OK

Screen off: OK

Standby: OK

Screen off: OK

So initial tiny problems which seem to have cleared up, but having now seen your reply I'll download the WVGA from your link here and get back again.

Will install on top of the present one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tigerro:
Done it, but don't know if its 'on top' or not as I had to remove the previous cab to get the new cab in, and then when running it, the message said the previous program would be removed (or cancel option) before installing.

Soft reset: OK

Screen Off: OK

Standby: OK

Dim Light: OK

Standby: Flashed off, flashed on, then went off to standby.

Screen Off: OK

Standby: OK

Screen Off: OK

Dim Light: OK

Screen Off: Flashed off then on (failed).

Standby: OK

Screen Off: OK

Standby: OK

Screen Off: OK

Standby: OK

Dim Light: OK

Standby: Flashed off then on, then went off.

Dim Light: OK

Screen Off: OK

Dim Light: OK

Standby: OK.

Seemed at first to be maybe something to do with Dim Light as the next one tried played up a little, but then in the last 4 lines it didn't happen.

Soft reset and shutdown are well worth living with the occasional hiccup anyway :)

Maybe I should add I installed the cab AND the program to storage card in case it matters?

I've installed almost all new programs to storage because Xperia doesn't seem to have much free space.

But if it matters, I can do it again and install to the device instead?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Steve James:
Yes, I downloaded the latest version from the front page links

Cheers

Steve
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Just tried the last version 1.22 of PowerOptions. The 3 top buttons work well, but the 2 bottom buttons do not work. Screen off is putting my screen off, but there is no way besides soft reset to bring the screen back on. Also Dim Screen does dim my screen, but i can only bring the back light on again with soft reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
I'm not sure if this is a cooked ROM issue or an Elf issue, I don't have any feedback from other Elf users yet. Nothing I can do about the Screen not coming back when you press the power button and nothing happens. The Dim Screen not switching back is really weird though, have to think about it.

Thanks for your feedback!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Steve, is this the only issue you have on your Touch HD, when attaching to long press power button? Does it =only= happen when attached to long press power button or if you use PowerOptions without too?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Also when mapping to long press of power button, the short press does not switch off anymore, always have to go trough PowerOptions, is that intentional?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
No, I actually don't do anything with the hardware keys, those triggers are done by HTC, if defining long press trigger affects short press something is not right on your device. Try mapping any other application to long press and see if the same happens please.

As a workaround you could try and map short press to the standalone MySuspend (see first post for download).

[Edit]

Thinking about it.. probably not a great idea to do the mapping to MySuspend, will try myself
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Maybe it is not a good idea but it works until now...lol.

Status now:

Short press MySuspend

Long press PowerOptions, of which only soft reset and shut down work, as also Standby only switches phone short off then on again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
With the above mentioned setup i am experiencing a strange flashing on and off of the device when in standby.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Claus, do you have S2U2 installed or any other software like that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
No, i have discarded S2U2 together with M2D. Using only Titanium now, not even overclocking.

Edit:I have psShutXP, but it is cooked in my ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Steve James:
Yes, it's happening without mapping to the long press.

I've also experienced problems with not being able to turn off the device when pressing the short press power (with PowerOptions mapped to long press).

PowerOptions also knocked out the ability for SPB Radio to turn off the screen.

Weird!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Sorry guys, I will be away for a week, returning next sunday. I probably won't be online until then or at least not able to work on anything.

I tested the application PowerOptions v1.22 on a PRO2 ( ROM: 1.19.412.2 (51489) ESN ) with the following result: Everything works but ....

"Off Screen" produces the same result as "Standby". If you have activated the locking device is blocked and turns off when is the deadline set. To turn on the screen you have to press the physical button on / off, not only lights up the screen or press any key. Some programs such as TomTom and others stop working, think the GPS also stops working.

"Dim Light": works well but its use from other programs will be uncomfortable. Too bad that is not available as a standalone application to assign a key as with the shutdown options, reset and standby.

Sorry for my English

*****************

He probado la aplicación PowerOptions v1.22 en una PRO2 ( ROM: 1.19.412.2 (51489) ESN ) con el siguiente resultado: Todo funciona pero....

"Screen off" produce el mismo resultado que "Standby". Si tienes activado el bloqueo, se bloquea el dispositivo y se apaga cuando se cumple el plazo configurado. Para que se encienda la pantalla tienes que pulsar el botón físico de on/off, no se enciende con solo pulsar la pantalla o alguna tecla. Algunos programas como TomTom y otros dejan de funcionar, creo que el GPS también deja de funcionar.

"Dim light": funciona bien pero su utilización desde otros programas es incomoda. Lástima que no esté disponible como aplicación independiente para asignarlo a una tecla como ocurre con las opciones de shutdown, reset y standby.

Perdón por mi ingles
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Nice App, Tin, How about having two screens?

First - Default one - where we have 4 buttons – Suspend, BL off, Screen off, More..

More.. will bring – Soft reset and Power off buttons. This way one can avoid accidentally pressing soft reset etc. while keeping the more common buttons easily accessible.
