S2U2 and Voice Dialer

I can't use voice dialer when S2U2 locks phone, is there a way around this? I like the S2U2 application, but when I am driving and need to make a phone call via bluetooth handfree I can't, because s2u2 block the voice dialer.
I did look for a solutions via the search engine and in the s2u2 thread, but no luck thus far.

which device?
which ROM?
which voice dial app?

Thanks for your response,
HTC 8925 (Tilt)
Dutty's Touch AT&t beta 2
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial V1.2 build 070626

The newest version of S2U2 v0.95 offers a solution to this problem by adding the ability to use exceptions to temporarily disable S2U2.
1) Install the new version.
2) Run iLock2 to close the application.
3) Use a registry editor:
Under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2, find an open ExceptionEXE(0-9) (STRING). I used ExceptionEXE3. Enter the value: "SDDialer.exe" (this is the application that runs when you press the button on your bluetooth headset).
4) Run iLock2 to restart the application and you're done.
Thanks to tompol for discovering this solution. I first tried it by entering the value: "Voice Speed Dial.lnk", but this didn't work.

Hello,
i have another problem with S2U2 on my Kaizer, and i think i created it but cannot get through it. After i did some changes on the S2U2 settings now every time the lock goes on and even if i open the settings i get a black screen and can not do anything. If i press the power on button to turn off the screen and then on, i get the S2U2 screen but frozen, with out any animation! I have tried to remove and re-install the application but i get the same response from the program. Could someone give me some help, because i really like the application but can not use it...
TIA,
Nikos.

did you turn on the directdraw option or safe mode option?
When you uninstall an app, it leaves behind the registry entries. As soon as you reinstall the app, those settings are in affecct again. Uninstall the app, use a registry editor to remove the following key, soft reset, then try to reinstall:
The key to remove is HKCU\Software\A_C

Ok, I had the exact same problem, the problem is indeed with D3D option, you need to disable it. As soon as it is off and the settings are saved, the program works fine once again, and smoother then previous version.
This part is gonna be hard to explain... but here it goes...
First thing to do is run ilock so that when u turn the screen off it doesn't start S2U2.
When you open the settings the screen freezes, like the kaiser crashed, but if you move down and you turn the screen off and on, you'll see the menu scrolled down.
Basically that means u're working blind, changes do occur but u can't see, so the process is to move it down, turning the screen off and on sistematically until u see the d3d option and turn it off, then save it.
Hope I explained myself enough.
Takes some work, but doesn't require registry tweaking and other settings are kept.
Keep posted on results.
Cheers, Esko

Thank you both for your fast and details replies!!!
It was indeed the direstdraw option. It was easier for me to try eskostar's method, especially since i had tried the same blind procedure but i did not figure the trick with running the ilock first!!!
Everything worked out great!!! Now i can use this excellent program again!!!
Thank you again!!!
Cheers, Nikos

I have this problem. When I start S2U2 and miss call screen remains as it is when someone call (caller's number and slide to answer or two buttons with green and red phone). Whatever I push or click nothing happens. So I must softreset or turn off and on my Kaiser. Some tips?

Sorry I dont have that issue. However my problem with this version of S2U2 is when SLide to Answer is Active you can still use the Hardware Keys to answer!
Anyone no how to deactivate the Hardware keys during Slide to Answer?

if any of the apps in the exception list are running, not just in the foreground, even if they are running in the background, then [email protected] will not enable. Check your exception list, make sure none of those apps are currently running, then try again. If you still have issues after that, then it's with S2U2, not the exception list.

Apparently Internet Explorer was still running, and as soon as I closed that it ticked off. May consider removing that key, as I don't see why I would need it.

Good deal, glad it worked for you....
when I install S2U2 (i go thru phases where I want it, then phases of "get it off my Tilt") the first thing I do is remove the exception for PIE.
FYI.... Likewise, if you run any of the Cube or TouchFlo variants out there, you will need to put an exception into the TouchFlo settings for S2U2. What happens if you don't is when you try to slide to unlock (or slide to answer) you end up invoking the Cube or TouchFlo, instead of S2U2. Just an FYI for you....

Thanks for the tip. Am still looking into wicked programs so far, only had it two weeks and it's already been through the mod ringer.

Wake up! Diamond! :-(

Hi all the xda guru. Many people like me experienced a problem of HTC Diamond:
In standby mode, if a new SMS comes in. Diamond won't make any sound an vibration even THEY HAVE BEEN SET in the "Sounds & Configuration". I tried to disable the TouchFLO3D, and this problem won't happen again.
Is this a bug? Anyone is developing a fix to this problem?????
Thanks!!!

Yes I have the same problem. The phone won't ALWAYS...but SOMETIMES only vibrate when the screen is off. However, whenever I turn the screen on, it will vibrate and notify me. Just a minor glitch I suppose!

wait for the rom-upgrade. hope allthe problems will be solved..

ok. SMS wake up is disabled by default in registry. thats in HKLM\drivers\builtin\ril
as far as I am remeber. I will confirm soon. that needs to be enabled.
I see the reason for this though:
if you phone wakes up to SMS it shortens the battery life for you.
EDIT:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL :
DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. meaning NO wake up to SMS message
Change this value to "0", soft reset you phone and verify that value is correct.
I hope it helps.
P.S. please add this to Diamond Tweaks thread

Thanks man! Is there one for email..or?

it supposed to FLASH LIGHT for you for 5 minutes by default instead of waking up phone to that.. that should be logically enough to alert you. If it does not, I would also add to that:
Settings-->Sound and notifications-->Notifications -->Messaging: New e-mail message:
1. Play sound (choose one) or even repeat as well.
2. Display message on Screen
I hope it helps.

I can confirm this. On new email the light flashes. But now, for me, suddenly it doesn't, anymore (it flashes AFTER I turn it on which makes not too much sense). Can anybody help? I think I checked everything and also I didn't change a setting. Somehow it does not react to new email until I switch it on. Of course I only use standby and not turn it off completely with long push on the button.
Regards,
Frank

Are there any fixes for this yet? Having to turn the phone on (out of sleep) to see if there are emails when it should alert you makes auto email retrieval kinda pointless.

Wake on e-mail!

Wakeup on e-mail.
Is there a way to wake-up the Diamond when i get an email message?
So far I have to check manually if there is email. No wake-up, no sound.
I hope there is a way...

NoSleep!!.CAB - Stops the screen blanking during calls - WORKS!! [02/08/2008]

Hi
I made this little CAB to install the registry tweaks that prevent your screen from blanking. I can confirm that on my Orange Diamond, using Bepe's .97 this actually works, whereas using Advanced Config didn't solve the issue.
The CAB file is uninstallable should you wish to remove it.
Thanks,
Shinobi_UK

Can you explain what´s in that cab?

Actually i found that using DT didn't work either, and I also find it more convenient to apply the registry changes with a cab file, rather than having to install an app I don't use and then make a load of clicks.
If you prefer to do it using a tweaking app then this cab isn't for you. The only reason I posted it is because I use it myself.

Well actually it's been very easy to achieve by taking registry snapshots, and then using diff on a linux box to find the changes, then import them into a cab file.
So thanks for wishing me luck but it's not required.
Sarcasm breeds sarcasm and frankly i'm slightly ammused that on a forum designed to help users share tips and software, a simple CAB i use after new ROM flashes has created such a hostile response.
I'm not attempting to replace or belittle your tool monte, it's certainly streets ahead of what i can do at the moment, however as bepe's ROM lets me run cabs at build this way is nice and easy for me to ensure that if I need to do a hard reset I can reinstate my registry tweaks during the reset without having to install any additional software.

Been looking for something like this for a looong time, cheers

Brilliant, I'd tried the registry tweaks in the tweaks thread, and advancedconfig without any luck and this cab worked perfectly.
I haven't tried DiamondTweak, looks interesting though.

This works perfectly. Big Thanks!

It's not that bad, it just annoys me when I'm phoning numbers where you have a number menu system to get through.
It's strange that it's something no other WM phones I've used have done, yet theres no menu option to disable it.

This CAB file is flawed, because it causes unnecessary battery drain.
It's wrong to make the screen never go to sleep during a phone call.
If you'll think about it for a moment, during a call we never really need the screen to be active for more than 1 minute or so, from the last time we touched it. If you are calling a digital voice machine (either your voicemail or anything), 99.999% of the time it won't take more than 1 minute between key presses.
The ideal tweak should just make the screen behave like when you're not in a call, meaning the screen reduces brightness after ~30 seconds, and shuts down after ~1 minute. In order to be 100% on the safe side, you could make it shut down after 2 minutes from last key press. BUT, making it never go to sleep is simply a waste of battery if you're doing for example a 30 minutes conversation.

center button and screen back on
My preference is to have the screen come on, see who it is, then allow it to go blank. If you need it to come back on, i just push the center of the scroll, enter button or whatever its called, and the screen comes back on. (at least it does on mine) . I like it that the screen blanks so it will save battery.
But i dont think we should discourage anyone from making any kind of cab if they desire.

Still, it is unnoying to press that damn key every 5 seconds. The screen should shut down after 1-2 minutes, but NOT never.

Thats abosolute BS. It is NOT flawed. If you dont want your screen to stay on just - dont use the CAB. I think most users around here are smart enought to know that keeping the screen on during a call takes a battery hit. If they use the CAB as I intend to they are willing to accept this.

"slide down for more options"

For those users interested to find a solution to disable the curtain, here is the package. Could be a dll or a registry key.

Found a solution
Found a solution with reg key.
Goto HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\Cover
There is a DWORD value ResumeInterval set to 5000 (5secs).
I changed it 300000 (5mins) and soft-reset.
Now the call starts with slider on, you only need to slide down once. Then it will wait for 5 mins of inactivity to come back up.
Probably higher values can be used, but 5mins should work for me.
As always, modify registry at your own risk...

I had zero issue with the standard one, it was functional and did exactly as one would expect. Topaz dialer hides all options instantly making it absolutely dangerous to try and activate loudspeaker whilst driving . The other issue is landscape view, if using any rotate screen app and having the device in landscape (ie. whilst using GPS apps etc) and receiving a call there is no dialer shown at all!
Surely I am not the only one to notice these problems?

thanks man it helped

How to make the dialer doesn't appear after a call

Hi,
I don't think my question is specific to a rom or a dialer.
I don't want the dialer appears after a call.
I would like to reach the home screen directly without the 5 seconds dialer transition.
Is it possible with a registry tweak or something else please ?
Thanks for all.

This is not a problem for nobody this dialer after a call ?
To be always forced to click on the cross or a hard button to reach the home screen ?
Please tell me a solution if you know it.

I would also like to know if a tweak like this exists...
I'll try to find a way but anyone knowing this is welcome....

Try this registry setting you must create:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallProgressIdleTimeout"=dword:00000000

Just push the Home button after the end button is pressed, you wont wait 5 seconds.

Another way:You can install advanced config and you can find in phone tab..

I have to revive this thread cause I am really interested in a tweak like this...
I've tried everything in Advanced Configuration and in Diamond Tweak but there is no tweak for this...
Does anyone know a tweak?

I think it's impossible.
I tried all the tweaks.
