i just bought a brand new t-mobile htc touch pro 2. and i want the slide to unlock feature like the iphone. but i don't want to change anything else. i just want to be able to slide to unlock my phone can anyone help me out with that for my touch pro 2. thanks
New to WinMo? Everyone knows about S2U2.
Btw, please search before posting. If you Google "slide to unlock", almost all the hits on the 1st page points you towards S2U2.
I've noticed S2U2 scrambled my screen when unlocking my Verizon TP2 in landscape mode with the keyboard open. I have to close the keyboard, rotate the screen back into portrait, and then I can unlock it.
Yea, that happens to me as well. And S2U2 drains battery life like crazy.
put the screen buffers to RAW I've read in the S2U2 thread it works... you might want to search for it.
Putting the screen buffers to RAW fixes it for a short while then the landscape view get messed up again. Putting it back to Direct3D again fixes it for a short time. I am going back and forth between the two settings to keep it working. It really needs a fix from the author.
S
somehow, I doubt that the developers of the S2 apps will look at this thread. Perhaps you are better served if you contact them directly or post in their thread.
I ended up uninstalling it. I really like the app, but after reading it sucks battery life it had to go. I left this morning with a full battery. Wifi/bluetooth are off, I've surfed maybe 5 minutes, sent 6 emails, and about 15 texts and my battery is already down to two bars. Something is draining this thing fast.
disable the digital battery option in the s2u2 settings

The date appears to be Oct 6th from all the rumors. Btw, it's HTC that's going to be releasing the update for our devices, not Microsoft.
Thanks for reminding me that there is a slide to unlock application...
I was always calling people, because my device unlocked itself.

Im going to have to be ignorant and say the what?
and how long of a wait are talking, as soon as employees can get the touch pro Im upgrading so I was just looking for a quick fix. Dont really want to wait around for another 6 months to a year for a rom update that is half broken.
Edit: did some searching and reading and sounds like that will be out in about 2 months or more (out of beta) way too long of a wait. I figured there would already be an app like this since the phone has been out for a year guess I will just have to wait and be happy when I get my pro.
SPB fullscreen keyboard does it
Otherwise, set the camera button (on bottom right side) to make the phone go landscape.

I believe he was just filling space to meet the 10 character minimum for a post.
But regardless, I'll have to keep an eye on TouchXperience - definitely an appealing project.
If you want, you could use WisBar Advance 3, a must-have for me. It enables you to select how certain apps open, so you could set SMS to open in landscape, and return to portrait on close/minimize. About $10, and well worth it.
Do you mean it senses when the device is turned? Because it cannot do this.
If you mean just do it when you have a new text message, I suggest SPB keyboard.
Yes I have the ATT Fuze never sure if it was really considered a Touch Pro, either way there is a program out on the diamond called Gyrator or Gyrator 2. I am using the Gyrator 2 and it will use the G Sensor to change landscape, its probably exactly what your looking for, cause I was looking for the same thing for a while. The only thing it won't change is the TF3D Home page which is what I wanted.
I think its alright to post links Ive seen others do it, if no my bad

TouchLockPro is a general purpose locking program, which also works on the Touch HD.
See TouchLockPro thread for more details.
Version 2.0
I uploaded version 2.0, which fixes some (small) issues and added some features, like unlocking when sliding the keyboard out (if available). See Version 2.0
[APP][Updated 11-01-2009] TouchLockPro version 2.1
I just uploaded TouchLockPro version 2.1. Hope this version is again more perfect.
TouchLockPro is indeed great. However, on the HD, I find its use limited, as there is no good unlocking mechanism in place. I keep it installed for the BattClock, but I simply can't get comfortable with having to pull out the stylus to unlock, or wave the phone in front of a light source. (The HD light sensor doesn't seem very reliable.)
Heck I admit it, I often surf with Opera in bed, in the dark - the stylus is the only unlocking option, and it annoys me.
If TouchLockPro could get a touch gesture unlock, like PocketShield or ThrottleLock, I'd be happy. There doesn't even have to be a UI - as long as it's fast and reliable.
ThrottleLock appears to late (I can interact with the screen before the ThrottleLock asks for the gesture), otherwise it would be mighty fine.
PocketShield is much better in this respect. I just can't get it to work comfortably with answering the phone. I've hung up on so many calls now, unintentionally, that my wife told be to FIX IT.

Indeed my next highest priority is implementing a gesture to unlock using the GSENSOR, which was already on the TODO list. You could consider to use LockTouchPanelOnly=1, so the hardware keys are not locked and couple a command to a hardware key: "TouchLockAction.exe" unlock. Of course there is a chance that the hardware buttons are pressed in that case, when it is in you pocket. Other people using TouchLockPro in combination with Phone Canvas. They use TouchLockPro for general locking and unlock the phone automatically by TouchLockPro when there is an incoming call: commandCallIncoming = "TouchLockAction.exe unlock"
TouchLockPro 2.2.1 with GSENSOR support for unlocking
I just uploaded TouchLockPro 2.2.1 with GSENSOR support for unlocking.
TouchLockPro version 2.3
TouchLockPro version 2.3 is available.
Hi,
This seems to be a great app. But I have a serious problem.
Right after installation I get the messages
“ a problem has occurred with touchlockpro.exe”
And then after a soft reset the messages
“ Could not create TouchPanel Hook.“ Comes up and the application fails to start.
.
Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

Hi Henk,
which version did you install? the latest version 2.7.3?
I did not get this problem report from other users, and there are a lot of Touch HD users. You can try to set DoubleTouchPanelLock = 0, because some people have problems with this setting.
The "Could not create TouchPanel hook" message means that some other program is running which applies the hook before TouchLockPro can. Which Today screen do you have, TF3D?
You can also enable debug logging LogDebug=1 and post the debug log file \TouchLockPro.log.txt as zipped attachment. Maybe that gives me a clue
Hi,
Wow, quick response. I appreciate it!
Where do I set the “DoubleTouchPanelLock = 0”?
The only application that start up with the phone is TF3D.
I think you might be right, some other application is interfering. Can it be TF3D?
I’ve seen now that I can access the application after start-up from the application menu. It still gives me an error but I can use it.
This is a fantastic application, I will defiantly donate so soon as finances permits
MOD EDIT
Moved to Themes, Applications and Software forum
Hi,
I have Hard Reset my device and installed TouchLockPro. It work perfectly.
Must have been a application somewhere that was the culprit
Thank you

Hi Henk,
good to hear that your problem is solved
*NEW* Zoombar unlocking also working on HD???
TouchLockPro version 2.9 now also has a *NEW* Zoombar unlocking. I expect this is also working for the HD. Could someone confirm it is actually working Because I cannot test on HD.
My expectation is that it works also on HD, because it works on Touch Pro 2 and Diamond 2.
I couldn't get the zoom bar working on the Touch PRo 2... I know it wasn't the question asked but worth mentioning.
some of the functionality seems not to work on the touch pro 2 with the telstra roms.
I was looking for some sort of a solution of this with no luck, any tips welcome.
Basically what I was looking for was an app or a tweak which would show TASKS on the lock screen (the screen when phone is locked and you have to use for example a slider (Miri rom) to open it) since there is so much empty space and there is no reasonable way to put the tasks on Today screen.
Any ideas and tips very much appreciated.
hmm, i think S2U2 is capable of doing this. it is a free screen locking application.
according to the changelog here:
http://htcwinmobile.blogspot.com/2009/06/acs-s2u2-v201.html
it is capable of doing it, but i've just had a quick look in the applications settings (i have it installed) and can't seem to find the option, but it would be worth a try
S2U2 does show tasks icon the lock screen but it is only a figure(how many tasks are scheduled). If you use the appointments these will show as full descriptions, until completed, and you can have up to 7 appointments over a number of weeks (I think its about 4 weeks).Really good and I have no problems on Duttys Rom 6.5 R11
thanks for the handy pointers, will give it a try.
hmm, so I've tried that and I'm not very impressed. I'm not particularly keen on the whole S2U2, seems a bit cumbersome and overall like an "i" wannabe... there is somewhat the option of displaying the tasks on the lockscreen but as far as I'm concerned there is no way of removing the whole S2U2 interface and keeping just the tasks..which is, ultimately, what I'd want.
Thanks for the tip anyway but don't think this is gonna work.
Can't believe I'm the only one trying to get this sorted(!), it is such a fundamental thing to see tasks frequently without having to access something..even my old N95 did that right.
Anyway, if anyone knew about something, give us a shout.
Cheers
Z.
For years (!) I wanted to have my tasks on todayscreen (and/or on lock screen). I never understood why this was possible only on oldschool-WinMobile-todayscreen WITH special programs (SPB Diary). I believe it's a BASIC feature - and like you I asked myself if really noone needs this?
After getting my new Touch HD I love to have a stylish todayscreen - but I hate not to see appointments/tasks (neither with manila nor winmobile 6.5-today).
So if there is ANY solution: YES I want it too!
I could have probably lived with S2U2 as long as the tasks would be at least showing by themselves rather than you having to press & hold on the icon
...that's like as close it gets to the desired result...future s2u2 update might fix that but again, you have to get the whole app (for locking) to get this small, though very important feature... kinda disappointing...
I`d also like having task on today or lock screen as old non colour Windows CE devices did. Why had disappeared? I don´t know and I can´t understand. I hope somebody can help us.
I want it too please. I would like something like Lockinfo for the iphone.

Hey!
Thanks for your kind words.
I haven't really tested it out on the 6.5 system but i know that it works. But i'm concentrating on fixing and adjust it for the usage on the 6.1 system.
I will in the future concentrate on adjusting it for the 6.5 system aswell.
well in that case... i postponed my will to upgrade into 6.5 i will try your shell now.... and sure i will enjoying this shell.... lets give it a try....

is it just me or is the UI doesn't support sliding the multi page ???

That's true. I'll try to make it slide in the next releases.
Can i ask you a question. What phone are you using?
Any feedback would be great!
I like the screen-shots. m testing it. let u know of any bugs with jacks 6.5 rom

Thank you for testing this out!
I'm releasing the new build anyday now which includes more bugfixes and new functions. Before i release it I'll make sure to adjust it to the 6.5 system.
You said that the arrowbuttons are small, i noticed this last night and I relocated them and made them bigger. I'm trying to add the slide function but don't expect it to work until next month, at least. I also noticed what you told me, that the status bar doesn't appear in the multi-pages, and I'm trying to solve this.
Best regards
Is this a panel? I can't imagine being stuck in a program launcher all day, so I would only use it if it were a panel.

HI Mate, thanks very much for this will try it now
wm5
hi mate, tried this on Windows Mobile 5 device (Imate Jam), I get an unexpected error in iphoneui.exe. The programs asks to quit and restart but get same result every time.
any ideas
Have you followed my instructions?
You may've missed that you need to install the .NET 3.5 version because it uses it.
If that isn't the problem then I don't, sorry. please reply and tell me if you solved it.
But my advice for you is to download the .NET 3.5 from my homesite.
I haven't figured out how to do anything except insert the battery and sim but WOW .. My totally honest first impression is maybe I like it as well or better than my iphone .. That is saying A LOT !!!
If you like it already, just wait until you figure out how to turn it on!
And of course when you start flashing ROMS and so forth...
It is better than the iPhone yes, but it is an entirely different beast. Don't expect it to run perfectly stock. If you spend a little time hacking it you can get it to run almost exactly how you'd like it to.
And really, isn't hacking half the fun of owning a WinMo phone? I think so. Even after I have my phone set up perfectly on one ROM, the urge to reflash is so strong that I can only hold out for a month, maybe two at most, until I start all over again. Yay.
congrats! Once you start figuring your way around the phone be sure to visit this thread full of great apps:

That thread that burton gave you is definitely the best place to start, to learn about all sorts of things you can do with and to your new fav gadget.
Installing apps and tweaks to your phone is usually a simple matter of obtaining a .cab file for whatever you want to install, copy the .cab to your phone (to a file on the SD card is best, so you can leave them there for future re-use), and clicking on the .cab to run it. Once you're comfortable doing that, I would highly recommend running the two cabs I've attached here, they're a good idea for any new TP2 owner; they improve the native memory management in the phone, and free up memory much better once apps are done using it, and they'll go a long way towards making your whole experience better (without them, your memory use will keep creeping up on you until you reset).

You are so right. I have the HTC Shift pretty much since it came to the USA .. I bought one - unleashed FULL WinMo .. sold it .. then missed it and bought another. I have Full WinMo and Phone on it .. I think all I need is blue-tooth on the WinMo side and for WinMo to recognize a memory card. Pretty sure neither of those hacks have been worked out. I can wait!!
PS .. thanks for the link and the files as well .. First thing I am going to do is sync my contacts .. then PLAY ..
Well the Shift is an even more different beast. That thing really is a mini-computer. Not sure how great of a phone it would make.
Anyone know if HTC is planning on coming out with a successor to the Shift?
The shift is for sure a computer. I have Win7 on it and WinMo 6 I think .. There is no bluetooth on the phone side so voice comes out of the speaker. If you held it up to your head it would look ridiculous.
Still ... it is nice to have a phone in it, only because you can
Miss my iphone desktop - Home Screen
I think I have been using my iphone too long because I am having a horrible time figuring out a design I like. I miss my iphone desktop.
If you haven't already, try out SPB mobile shell. It gives a very customizable interface w/ widgets.
I think I have that App .. I will first look on my computer for it . thanks. The thing that I find annoying that I haven't figured out is when I click on the phone to make a call. It opens half keypad half contacts. No "hard" buttons to scroll up and down through the contact list. .. correct ??

That is partialy correct. It actually brings up your call log. To pull up a number from your contacts just start typing on the keypads (either the number i.e 818 555 1234 or the name ie. Dad = 323). You can also click the all contacts button and go to a pure list of contacts, which you can then scroll through with the touch screen.
