I'm looking for alternative ways to lock my phone's buttons and screen when I'm not using it. So far I've been using standard lock app (HTC Home plugin has a shortcut of a lock in the apps tab) and I'm not real happy about it.
I've tried S2U2 couple of months ago - but it didn't work for me for some reason. Searching the forum showed locked threads and some plugins for S2U2 but no real info about it.
What do you guys use? And where can I find a working version of S2U2?
Thanks =)
If you press the 'end call button' (which is red on my MDA Vario III) for a few seconds, it should lock your phone.
Yes, I do have that app. However, the unlocking is the same process as it is with standard WM method.
I've found the thread with latest S2U2, trying it out..
I'd like something that locked the phone (deactivate buttons & a security function), but that could be unlocked by pressing hardbuttons rather than swapping from buttons to screen.
I've got a demo version (in compiled basic using .NET 2.0), but it's not quick enough & still needs the code to allow for answering the phone if it rings. Anyone fancy converting it to something more native to WM6 (i.e. faster)?
S2U2 is what I use and I find it great. Can also be set up to keep GPS running.
Have you tried "Device Lock 1.2 by Matt Armstrong" its basically an extension of the device lock thats already on the phone (although having the standard device lock installed is not needed), with the added benifit of being able to configure via settings what happenes to the screen when run (blanked, suspend) and also allowing easy unlock (one press unlock) + more, does exactly what i need (except schedule/auto lock)....
Dark, did you disable directdraw? that might be why it didnt work for you

I didn't, unless it did so by itself. The v0.95 is working like a charm for me, I'm starting to get used to it =)
I use S2U2. It's an absolutely fantastic program.
Guys i was wondering..i hate the lock app that comes with WM6...i dont like all the extra fitures they put with the one that came with WM6...is it possible to get the same lock app that is in the start > settings > personal > lock...that is exactly like the older one that came with WM5? with the new one that comes with WM6 you have to put the password in then tab a button at the buttom and all this other stuff...with the older WM5 one you just had to put in the password and the device would unlock..thats the type of password protected software i like..i dont wanna have to press anything else for my tilt to unlock after i put in my password...does anybody have a solutution that does this like how the old lock app used to do for WM5? plz help or if there is other software that immediatley unlocks the device after you just put in the password. PLz thanks guys
Link is: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=2&dl_id=94
I'm downloading it now... pretty slow download though. I bet I'm not the only one that knows about it
Same EXACT file as posted here over the weekend ftw
Took long enough!! Did you notice that one of the added features was video share calling...
The link takes you to WM6.0
And since Voice Command is in it, no more gray area!!! (Not that I care, I paid for it...)
YEA, I guess this means 3 months of redundant posts regarding winmo 6.1. YEA I can't wait!!!!
as most of you know I am a regional tech for AT&T, and there is no way in hell i would ever install a att rom on my tilt HELL NO!!!!
Never Mind, the second time I opened the link, it took me to the correct wm6.1 ruu.
Still have 30 minutes to go but I'm presuming that if you boot without bloatware that the video calling won't install so someone will have to create a cab... I'm sure xda will do it
Whats Included:
* Windows Mobile 6.1
* HTC Home
* Video Share Calling
* Threaded SMS
* MS Voice Command
* OneNote Mobile
* Remote Desktop Monitor
* Enroll Domain
* Managed Programs
* PTT Button now available
for reassignment under
Start>Settings>Buttons.
I guess that this makes the post about reassigning your PTT button obsolete..
My take on it is that it is the same one that has been floating around for a couple of days.
I just d/l the "official" one and extracted the files and the README.doc still has the paragraph to the "help desk personnel"
ALL the files sizes in the self-extracting zip are the same size also.
anyone else having a problem disabling the bloatware? everytime it soft resets it takes me back to the customization screen... third soft reset so far and I even tried letting customization begin for a second before the soft reset.
To AVOID installing AT&T's bloatware, you must flash your phone obviously, then go through the 1st boot screen where you tap the screen, set your time zone etc, then after you click finish, AS SOON AS windows loads, soft reset BEFORE it says customizing in 3 seconds.

Try this procedure it worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2562767#post2562767
So far all seems well,
My wireless router only does WPA-PSK with TKIP and not AES or WPA2 but that works well.
The one issue I have had at other times on the old ROM was that DHCP would pick up an IP but not DNS so I would have to enter in a known good DNS IP addy. I just use the Cox primary name server in Hampton Roads VA but any will work.
"No matter what the question - the answer is DNS" so you can tell I am a network guy and not a "developer, developer, developer" (Steve Balmer) by that answer eh?
Just a bit off topic but i am so thankful and grateful for the developers and all who post here to help us out!!!!
bloatware is disabled (good call) but Sprite Backup is killing my phone. May have bricked it in fact... PIM backup is a lot better even at the expense of loading a few of my own apps back on to it... I went from a black screen to a zebra pattern after the splash screen. May have to revert to the 8525 for a few days while i try to get AT&T to replace it...
If you get a black screen (or a striped screen) after using Sprite just do nothing for about 5 minutes and it will result in a hard reset (not a brick fortunately).
Glad to hear I am not the only one having trouble with sprite backup. My Tilt is stuck on the SPRITE BACKUP screen, RESTORE PROGRESS, Resetting Device. It has been this way for 15 minutes.
Now what?
This, of course, right after I installed the HTC WM 6.1 download.
It seems Microsoft's "New Home Screen Interface" didn't make it into this version... At least I can't find it anywhere.

if i upgrade to 6.1 will I still be able to use skyfire beta2?
Wait, MS voice command now comes standard?? Which version?
Hello,
I have a TyTN II WM6.1 Mobile Phone. It's a nice phone, but I have one problem with it. The handling of class-0 SMS (= Flash SMS) is not Ok for me.
I my village I'm member of the voluntary fire brigade. If there is a fire alarm or something else we get a Flash SMS.
Now there are 3 problems with several importance.
1) Flash SMS is not been saved: Is there a way that Flash SMS is showed on the Screen and also saved for detailed reading (for example some time later)...
2) The keys are normally locked, but if I get a Flash SMS, it is possible to touch the "Close" Hotkey and the message disappear. That is problematic if I would like to put the mobile phone out of the trouser pocket and touch it unintentionally.
3) Also it would great if I would be able to set for that special Flash SMS a different sound.
I have found that Windows Mobile has generally a problem with that. In our company (http://www.fob-ps.at) we have several mobile phones (not only HTC TyTN II). Some colleagues are also member of their local fire brigade. So the have the same problem....
Hopefully someone is able to help me (us).
No one is able to help?
Bump?
I'm also struggling with this problem
Someone suggested to make a screenshot of sms, but this is kind of silly and not-so-useful...
I have exactly the same problem. Anyone haven`t fixed it yet ?? I`m trying with MassegeInterceptor but it doesn`t intercept class 0 sms.
No, I didn't find a solution until now.
There is only a workaround => disable Flush SMS / class-0 SMS by the sender (of course, if possible).
Same here, I'd be glad to see a solution (even if I'm a Diamond user, but this should be an issue of WM)
Yes, it's a issue of WM (specially on Touch-Screen enabled devices)...
On all WM I found that situation and there are a lot of different devices I was able to test. There were also some newer devices...
This thread looks dead but no harm posting...
Could you guys try changing this setting in registry:
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS
TreatImmediateModeCBAsClass0SMS to 0
This might help
Hello mohitsapru,
Thank you for your answer!
Sorry, but that isn't really a help.
by changing the following registry entry:

all Broadcast SMS would be disabled.
They wouldn't be recognized by the mobile device SMS Manager. Therefore also no saving is possible....
For further information I found also an article on Microsoft Social

Hmm but did you try it?
On my device it didn't help. As already written I get no Flash SMS after giving the value to "0". Maybe there is a problem with other addons?
However at the moment I changed to Windows Mobile 6.5.x (on TyTN II) and there it is possible to save Flash SMS out of the box. The value of the registry setting is there "1" - the same as on all other Windows Mobile 6.x devices...
The device in question is the i-mate Pocket PC. The problem, which quite bothers me is how it displays the received text messages. The "enter" key in texts is omitted and the texts are shown together instead. For eg.
A text sent from any phone:
"Hey
when's
the meeting?"
will be displayed on my phone like:
"Heywhen'sthe meeting?"
The line break gets omitted. Is there any solution ? Its pretty bugging actually.
That looks like a *very* strange error, I've never seen it on my Alpine though (O2UK-branded HERM300).
What firmware are you using on the device? Are you using a custom font for display with extended characters for another language? Is your device set up as OEM or from a network provider?
It's Windows Mobile 2003. The ROM is dated 2004.
I am NOT using any custom font or ANY OTHER tweak here. It's just normal sms, without any changes.
Device set up as OEM.
Anything else you might need.. ?
Somebody help please!
