HTC Touch Pro2 already has "proximity sensor" that turns off screen and it does not allow to be happened any dummy taps. Therefore I was talking about an option like "don't lock during phone call"...

the best solution that DeviceLock detects type of phone to know whether lock is required or not...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
But why do you need locking at all then? I didn't know TP2 had a real proximity sensor, on Touch HD a light sensor is used instead, which is extremely unreliable and couldn't possibly work in your pocket (because if it blocked the screen in your pocket, it would do the same in a dark room as well), so a locking mechanism is needed. If your proximity sensor takes care of preventing accidental taps then what's the point in using additional locking?

If the problem is in your dialer leaving device on after call then you don't really need a locker, but rather something that puts your phone to sleep after call.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hecksk:
Hm, I've made a tweak to wake up by any hardware key, like any cell phone does. well, i think that's why i need DeviceLock to lock it out. :)

any ways
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johanromijn:
Thanks for this useful little program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Davka:
Nice app. Could you implement an in-call lock? That would make a complete solution for me on one small program :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

I will take a look at this. But there is a problem. The phone program knows about the standard windows lock system and "manages" it at real time to allow a fast pick up without unlocking the device.....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
LockDevice keeps phone locked during call, I only see the dialer when dialing or when phone is ringing; after that device is locked. Is your experience different?

If by an "in-call lock" you mean a way to prevent picking up or dropping calls accidentally by pressing buttons, you can try my little app. It will work with any locker including LockDevice (or without any lockers, for that matter).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well done vangrieg¡¡. The program you wrote works very well :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
Thanks for your nice words, I'm happy my first programming experience works for people and has caused no complaints so far. Apart from reading a lot about notifications and obscure mysterious things like "delegates", "interfaces", "threads" etc., it was very easy though. :) If you want to implement this in your program I'll share what I did.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Davka:
On my Niki, LockDevice is not locking when I call or recieve a call (and system was previously unlocked).

I would like to see a in-call lock as in S2U2 or SmartLock - automatic system lock after connection (to prevent touching the screen with my face :) )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
I see. On Touch HD it locks after you pick up a call or your outgoing call gets connected because the system itself goes into standby mode. So what you need is something that triggers screenoff state when your call gets connected. After that LockDevice will do the work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xawen:
Actaully, I was wondering the opposite: Could LockDevice have an option to not lock when a call is in progress? It seems like it would be the same logic as lock/don't lock when a media player is running.

I use Touch In Call Screen Tweak. This turns the screen off whenever I put the phone up to my ear during a call. When the screen goes off, LockDevice locks the phone. When I try to check voicemail, I end up constantly unlocking my phone to get to the keypad.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hecksk:
xawen, +1.

I'd like to have the same an option. I don't use any tweaks it is build-in functionality in my HTC TouchPro2. It is looks like an issue when to end call or call keypad I need to unlock device but there is no danger - screen is already turned off.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hecksk:
btw, s2u2 works properly in phone mode. But anyways I don't like s2u2, I like DeviceLock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rifmouk:
Hello,

i want to know if it's possible to don't lock device when the screen become off in calling.

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes, I am working on it....

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xawen:
The no lock in call feature works perfectly. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rifmouk:
thanks you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AlexP0wr:
How about a commandline option to unlock the device? I use mortscript for activating a 'in car profile' (bluetooth on, max volume, download speed camera poi's, start tomtom etc.). My only problem now with this screen locker is that it can't be unlocked using a commandline option (or option wich auto unlocks on external power connected).

I prefer this one above S2U2 because of the lesser resources it requires. Nice job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
You can disable the locker via command line, can't you? Why not have your Mortscript do it when it activates your in-car profie?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AlexP0wr:
It already does but if already locked it won't unlock using the disable command line option.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AlexP0wr:
Also... The lock screen is not completely full screen somehow. At the bottom there is a 'bar' visible which is a few pixels high. It displays things which where on my screen before.

Example: after a call (when lock screen is activated) a small peace of a red and green button is visible. See attachment (discard white bars, I removed and appointment)

No problem at all! Afterall thats what we're all here for.
[G1 Accessories] csocean:
Hey

As a possible solution to the low battery life of the G1, I bought a solar panel charger. (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=229254) To test it, I went and sat in the sun for a while, with a multimeter. When charging an old Nokia, which has a 3.7v battery, the Nokia's battery was drawing about 200mA. Not a lot, but enough to extend the life of the battery if you're out on a walk.

However, when I plugged the solar panel into the G1 (also a 3.7v battery), it only drew 10-20mA. Now, presumably this is due to some sort of charging circuit in the G1. I know some battery chargers have a diode in to prevent back-flow, and they can have a hefty voltage drop on them. Perhaps the G1 has something similar.

My solution to this would be to have a separate connector that will fit between the G1s battery and the phone to supply current directly to the phone/battery. If the phone is using less current than the solar panel provides, presumably the battery will then charge. Otherwise, the phone will run off the solar panel & battery combined, meaning the battery will last longer. I'd not use the panel when the battery is full, so it wouldn't overcharge, and I would put a 10 ohm resistor in to make sure the charging current is fairly low.

Forgetting about the difficulty of creating the connections, does anyone know anything about the manner in which the G1 handles charging that might be damaged by what I'm proposing?
[G1 Accessories] imfloflo:
Why do you post in Development section? Becareful when you created new thread in a sub forum!

Thread Move to Dream accessories.
[G1 Accessories] Joushou:
The battery is irrelevant, it's what the charging-circuitry takes as input that matters. (And, regular lithium-cells usually run at 3.7v, so there's no need to check that (Unless it's some special phosphate-based cell, or something fancy))

The G1 takes 5v.

If i recall correctly, Android handles the power-consumption of the charging circuitry when booted. I think it could be regulated from debugfs... But this is dangerous.

(imfloflo: If the above is true, this is indeed Android development...)

For the battery to charge, you need to supply a higher voltage, and i don't know the limits of the voltage-regulation in the device. This could potentially overload it, rendering the device useless (Unless you have the ability to solder smd components, and the regulator is not part of the SoC).

Also, DO NOT try to charge a lithium-based battery without the charging circuitry, you will end up overcharging/overheating it, and that's NOT something you want to happen (If you don't cool it fast enough after this has happened, it will explode, taking the phone, and whatever else is near (Your hand for example) with it.).
[G1 Accessories] goldenarmZ:
Most Li-Ion batteries have a small control circuit built in.. So unless you take the battery apart and try to charge the individual cells, that shouldn't be a problem.

After I broke the usb socket on my wizard, I used to charge the battery with a plain usb cable chopped down the middle with the wires taped onto the battery terminals.. never blew my hand off once. :D

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for any damaged or destroyed limbs resulting from attempting idiotic things like this.
[G1 Accessories] jashsu:
Yeah, as dubious as those "clip" usb chargers are, I have not heard of anyone's Li-Ion or Li-Po cellphone battery violently venting as a result of charging past 4.1v. Generally with lithium-based cells, if they have been packaged into a battery then there is probably a basic protection circuit against overvolt, undervolt and shorts.

That said, I would still recommend charging through the mini-usb rather than trying to jury rig together some kind of interface to go between the battery and the contacts.
[G1 Accessories] Joushou:
Yes, there's usually protection circuitry built-in, but i'm not going to tell someone i don't know, and therefore don't trust the persons knowledge, to put these circuits to the test...

I've been charging Lithium Ion (Both organic solvent and solid polymer) from my lab-supply several times, without blowing them up, but i have seen what happens when it goes wrong (And it's much scarier to see it in real life, than watch the videos...), and therefore i won't tell someone i don't fully trust to charge a cell without a charger.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nik3r:
Hi, I am seriously considering making a wifi/GPS antenna hard mod to increase reception for these services. My raphael has about 3x lower reception for both wifi and satelites than my older buddy HTC Artemis and I am really getting pissed, because enhancing the signal through software has its limits.

I wanted to ask if anyone has experiences with this procedure or wifi/gps antennas in general. I don't know which metal to use or whether should I focus on extending the antenna length or make the surface larger.

Here is the disassembly procedure http://translate.google.com/transla...tp://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/htc-touch-pro/

Here is directly the antenna http://www.pdacenter.ru/images/Touch_Pro-031.jpg

Any input is appreciated, I want to gather as much information as I can before I make the mod. I would not prefer trial and error on this one :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paperWastage:
before you embark on this ambitious journey, have you tried everything you can do?

1) different Radios/Roms

2) using certain materials to boost the reception? (like those wifi usb external mod/dish aka this

your friend's Artemis uses SiRF III chip, which is one of the best GPS chips... but this chip is separate from other stuff, draws a lot of power

the HTC Touch Pro uses the Qualcomm MSM7201A which integrates GPS, Wifi, GSM, obviously less power sucking and one less chip, and hence gives a little less performance than the SiRF III chip

how about an external BT GPS unit? i have one for my Dell Axim x51v PDA, the BT SiRF III unit has it's own 1300mAh battery that lasts at least 8 hours

can't help you on the WiFi side though... up to you to try to up the antenna, but you are risking your $200+ device, and i don't think there is any place inside the device to place a better antenna (unless you hang it outside, or get the extended battery cover)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nik3r:
I tried everything, radios, hours of registry tweaking and field testing.

Best I can get is cold GPS lock in 2-3 minutes and wifi is stable when I set lower beacon interval in routers. But my artemis can do both much much better without any hacks, don't tell me this is purely Qualcomm issue. I get zero wifi signal on raphael and about half on artemis under same conditions so I believe this is problem with poor antenna rather than chipset/drivers.

External GPS module is not an option and it doesn't solve the wifi signal issues in areas where I don't have admin access to the router/AP.

I am really willing to go through with it once I gather enough info but I will TRY not to do anything destructive to the antenna so that the mod is reversable if it has no effect.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Zeab:
I would not want to try modifying the antenna myself. At these frequencies and antenna size it is more art than science. A seemingly innocent change could render it completely useless and could be irreversible.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gmanfuzing:
ok its not that hard to get a gps lock in 15 secs or so .

first flash NRG's latest rom (mercury 7/29)

second flash this radio http://rapidshare.com/files/220917041/Raph_Radio_1.14.25.05.zip

DO NOT CHANGE RILPHONE.DLL'S the one provided in the rom works best with this radio .

once the rom is up and running do the following:

go to start>gps>quickgps>and click download . it really helps and lasts for a week . if you travel or drastically change in loacation (a couple hundred miles ) where the gps isn't active during that time i reccomend redownloading in the new location .

and finnaly go to start>settings>system>AGPS Settings > and click in the box to enable it . then click ok to exit and try google maps (which is installed in the rom already).

you can find google maps in start>gps if you don't get a lock withing 20 seconds then you should search for either

t-back's agps settings

or

atomang's agps settings

and download the respective cabs .
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gmanfuzing:
to add to my previous post i flashed his most recent rom yesterday and just followed my own instructions and got a lock in about 12 to 13 seconds .

note this was a cold start and the first time to use gps on the rom .

the best part is ... im inside my house . so i can't belive how fast it would be outside ! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nik3r:
Guess you're lucky to get one of the few working pieces :D

I don't have data plan so no AGPS for me (I'm in Europe we have wifi everywhere).

Actually I get cold fix in about 3-10s from 5 satellites but the fix is extremely unstable and HDOP is 25-600, tooks 2 minutes to settle down and get stable reading with HDOP < 5. This is all because the satellite signals are very weak, I get like 20-35% of the signal bars most of the time. Artemis rarely drops any satellite below 60%. I get the feeling that raph needs much more satellites to get a precise fix to compensate the poor signal, while artemis can get a stable lock with 4 or 5 sats.

And yeah I have Energy ROM with my own GPS tweaks which get faster lock than NRG's defaults.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gmanfuzing:
wow , you should try the austrailian radio . ive heard it works good outside of the usa

i never hve less then 7 satelites in my area and i also have unlimited data :D so agps (tbh i didn't even know it used data thx for tellin me lol)

sorry man i can't help you other than what i have said lol .
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nik3r:
Well after much consideration I gave up the hard mod and started more research to software approach and I have to say it was a success!

I am getting cold GPS lock in under 30s, warm lock is virtually instant.

Using this setup:

Energy ROM 2.0 b41609

Xperia Radio 1.16.25.48 (needs security unlock first)

1.16.25.48 Rilphone DLL

Took my time with trial and error and made a registry tweak for the GPS driver as well.
[Advantage X7510 General] AviUA:
Howdy folks,

As a total noob, I am trying to get up the nerve to burn one of the ROMs offered in this wonderful forum to my 7510 -- I am sick and tired of all the slowdowns and soft resets with the stock ROM.

It was suggested to me that rather than using the usual path of connecting the 7510 to the desktop via Active$ync and using RUU, I could copy the *.nbh file to the SSD and give it a special name that the HardSPL would recognize. This idea came from this post, which is about a 7500.

The supposed advantages:

1) faster

2) more reliable -- with the usual method, if the desktop crashes or you have a power outage during a burn, you brick your device -- this way, you have battery power keeping it alive during the burn.

Three questions:

1) will this work on the 7510?

2) what is the name that I must give the file so that it will be recognized?

3) is there any disadvantage to doing it this way?

TIA
