[REQ] WM6.5 S2A without locking

I love the new slide to answer/ignore built into windows mobile 6.5 but do not want to have to lock my phone in order to use it. Can any developers here come up with a way to activate the s2a feature without locking the phone?

Why not use a opal dialer that comes with a slide to unlock?

i dont want to go back to a rom with manila in it, and the topaz, opal ... tf3d2 etc etc s2a dialers i have tried screws up the call log because it relies on files from manila i believe. unless you can point me in the direction of a black s2a dialer that doesnt screw up the call log?

Have you tried Smart Lock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032
There is a feature for lock on call etc. I've used it and it does what you are asking, but there is an odd delay before the lock screen comes up. Try it out and let me know what you think.

trying now

Cool. I'm pretty sure it's still beta, but it seems to work. I'm just curious if the issues i'm having are throughout, or just on the ROM that I'm using.

that program seems to still require that it lock the phone to use the s2a. if i only slect the fist option of "wm6.5 new lock" it does nothing. if i select that along with incall lock, it brings up the new slide to answer locks the phone after the call which i do not want.

I guess I mis-read your post. I thought that was what you were looking for.

bump it up

I dont think you going to find it! Unless you can get someone to build a dialer like that!

Got the same problem here ... did you find a solution ?

nope damn it

Hey guys !
Is there a solution now ?
Has someone very nice worked on it ?

Can't you guys just wait for another month or two... the official 6.5 or 6.5.1 or 6.7 whatever it is will most likely have that... I am sure someone can replicate a copy program of it, but then it wont be as smooth... just wait for the official one...
Till then, locking your screen isnt that bad :-/

Another way...but...install phone canvas 3.....
-the phone canvas doesn't conflict with lockscreen since the old phone canvas....and it goes also than the phone is not locked

[QUE] WM Phone Canvas

Hi,
I have a WM6.5 rom and when someone is calling me I get a simple popup window and two softkeys at the bottom: accept, reject. I read that when the screen is locked, there is a different incall screen, where you have to slide to answer or ignore. I do not lock my screen, so would it be possible to have the better incall screen by default?
Thanks a lot for the replies.

The app being mentioned is A_C's S2U2 and it provides a full screen pop-up for contact pictures.
I ran without a screen lock for a while until my pocket made a call and used up the £15 of just applied top-up. Now i use S2U2 and have yet to have any problems.

Thanks, will try it tomorrow

How to lock Ans/End key

Usually when a call comes and the phone is inside the pouch (good for protection), there are several ways of messing up by accepting or rejecting the call even b4 its completely out of the pouch as blelow:
On screen:
1) U can press the on screen message but which will send an auto sms to the caller and end the call
2) U can press the answer key
3) U can press the ignore key
Off screen (hardware)
4) U press the answer key
5) U can press the end key
Incredibly, all 5 options are simultaneously active. The screen can be locked by S2U2 etc. but I cannot find any option of locking the hardware keys.
Any help will be appreciated

Firstly thanks for Omnia i8000 support on XDA..
Now I feel secure..
Secondly even I'll lyk to disable my hardware keys for call ans/end..
is there a registry tweak or something we can do to disable it..

s2u2 has that option... go settings/phone and u have S2A Hard ans/end key...

Search 542482 - there's an app for that over in the Mobile Apps & Games forum

Solution found!!!!
The issue was really troubling me and I finally found a solution. Install a small program called Incall lock which locks the call & end key. But that will totally disable u from accepting calls under WM6.1. So install s2u2 and enable screen response and voila!! U have. Both these are available elsewhere in this lovely forum.
Note:- The whole process during inplementation is quite messy as u will first have to install .net compact & samsung SDK software (both freely available).
4 software to do a simple thing which should have been taken care of by the OS. That's life under our billy, the goat.
Hope this help. I would be glad to give something back to this site, i have greatly benefited from.

TouchLockPro works great.
(I can't post a link yet...search for it in the Omnia 2 section at Modaco).

I tried tpro but it did not work for me. I am using wm6.1 under samsung touchwiz. Cud it b because of that ?

TouchLockPro is the answer, however, if both touch screen and the keys are locked on all in-coming calls, how the hell do you answer the phone? First to unlock it then answer it? A bit troublesome.

See, even if no software was there u wud have to press a key or tap something to answer anyway. With S2U2 and incall lock, the only point of access is the slider (in my case) with which i can either accept or reject calls. So if i swipe to ans, the lock opens and i can straight away start talking. So there really is no extra step involved. Whereas, if I do not lock the key, I will have to be careful not to press the keys accidentally which is difficult as I often put it in my pocket and more so inside the pouch. I think the swipe to answer is the killer option.

Slide to Answer is great option to traditional Click to Answer, that is very true, however, that option has been adopted in 6.5 and some 3rd parties phone app as well, so if in i8000 case, the phone interface can be omitted and use the 6.5 or simply use those better and more feature phone apps

Well, as I said I hv 6.1 & 6.5 not yet available in my country. so...

Hi,
I installed Throttle Lock.. Nice lock... it has slide to answer..
secondly it does not interfere with the touch player, lyk s2u2 does..

Are you using Omnia II with WM6.1 ?
Because throttle lock is not saving the settings on my phone. And yes, I am clicking the "ok" button at the top right and getting a message "changes saved". And my slide to answer is ON but no slide is displayed. All I can see is the default lock screen which opens when I click on a button on screen but that certainly does not solve my problem. Using ver .07 (latest).
I have even registered myself. Hell, the config.xml file shows Calllock is on but its not even locking when the call comes. That should be the very basic default function. Sorry, back to s2u2.

I am using WinMo 6.1 original Rom...
I installed it on Storage memory.. and its workign fine.. It does interfere with the Samsund dialer when the call comes in... but I will try disabling the samsung dialer and check... back to your issue.. Try re-installing it.. and it should work.. iam able to save all my settings..
And when the call comes in My hardware keys are lock as well and I get option to Slide to Answer or reject..

Thanks. I unistalled S2u2 and installed again. Still no. Yet the program was working when I clicked on it. So, luckily having some working knowledge of windows, I found that the program is not putting a link in the start menu or start up folder. This I had to do manually. But thats unclean.
And what happens when a call comes is funny. There is a brief fight between the throttle default , the windows splash & the lock screen itself. Luckily, the lock screen is winning every time. But again unclean or is it the links I have placed.
Currenly, I have links to both thottlelock & throttlelockdemon in the startup & lockdemon in the start menu. How is it with u?
Also in the setting under samsung default setup, the options like lock mode & incoming are white on white. What are your current settings ?
Think this program was designed for HTC. But is definitly smaller and though not neat...working. Thanks

I have mapped it to a hardware key, so when I want to lock I press the hardware key..

Use incall lock for locking the keys when call comes. Works perfectly.
Tried the throttlelock for 2 days. Sometimes, the default wm screen was coming up and the look is messy. So more experiements......but till date s2u2+incall lock looks the cleanest. Will keep looking...

I'm using TouchLockPro. It's much faster and less memory consuming than S2U2 and it has multiple ways to unlock your phone!
In the newest version, you can unlock your phone by using the proximity sensor (and our Omnia II has one )
So if your phone wakes up in your pocket our pouch, it won't unlock, but if it wakes up in your hand or on your desk, it will unlock immediately!
Consequently, if you have an incoming call and the phone is in your pocket: It will remain locked until it's out of your pocket so you don't have to manually unlock before answering
I love it!

[Q] Answering phone when taking out of pocket...

Hey guys, I'm running a Sense build (Phiremod's Ace build) and having a problem with the HTC dialer's answer/reject call slider. (note that this is a problem with any of the Sense builds - not picking on Phiremod's.)
I pocket carry my HD2 and since the Sense answer/reject is an up and down slider, i always wind up answering or hanging up the phone when I pull it out of my pocket.
Does anyone have any ideas to change the incoming call behavior? I know I can remove the HTC lock screen, but the answer/reject slider is apparently part of the dialer (which I love otherwise). I used S2U2 on WinMo, and have been digging around for an Android alternative. Is there any way to get the stock Android answer/reject slider (left to right) on Sense without losing the HTC dialer?
Thanks,
Ryan

+1. Have the same problem

+1, the sense lockscreen makes no sense. Unlocking in pocket, answering can be done just by looking at it from wrong angle...HTC must come up with something quick. Can't even call that a lockscreen
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

+1
happened a lot of time to me... I'm happy to know that I'm not alone...

Im not sure why HTC made the slide up and down like that it really doesn't make any sense. On the WimMo sense it slides side to side.

Count me in Big relief to see others with the same "challange". In my case it often answers call without me knowing it when its in my pocket.

+1
This is the only reason I avoid Sense. Phone upside down with the screen facing my leg is the only position that works (ie makes it easy to check the screen by pulling it out of my pocket). Unfortunately, that also declines every call I try to answer.

+1 !!! anyone?!?!

solution found!
OK i hope you guys see this - i found a solution -
just install this .apk, it presents a screen with two simple buttons (answer\decline) instead of having to slide. works like a charm no more leg\but answering declining calls

I had this problem also. Just go to system/app and you'll see htclockscreen.apk and htclockscreen.odex. You can rename or delete them but I just moved them to a folder within system/app so they're not loaded. Once done, reboot and you'll get the stock lock screen.

hey tnx mr_dilly, i actually know that, but even after going back to the stock froyo lockscreen, when getting a call you still get the htc answer\decline slide screen which is, as mentioned, crap..

Sorry, omricn. Overlooked that bit. I thought the slide to answer went away because I got the answer/reject buttons but apparently it changes once the phone is actually locked.

I use a android build without sense. Is there any app to unlock power button?
I often get a call while my phone is in my pocket and then accidently press my power button, so the call will be rejected.

are you sure the power button is the issue? how does your incoming call screen look like? it could be the same issue that i had, the slider responded to the insides of my pocket, i dont believe the power button is being pressed unless you're wearing very very tight pants

I don´t have a sense build.
I get no slider, only the answering buttons on my screen. But hardware buttons are working too. When i put my phone from my pocket i often touch my hardware power button and then the incoming call is ended.
I use proximity screenoff, so screen is blank and i can´t touch any button on my display. If i press power button, the incoming call is rejected.
I want to have a slider on my display and hardware buttons should be locked complete. Only answering a call with something on my display, but not with hardware button.

understood.. i'll be sure to let you know if i find a solution

Hi All!
The biggest problem with Sense in my opinion is the slide for unlock/answer screen. The engineer that came up with that design should get a serious *****-slap. Replacing the lock screen is fairly simple though, e.g by WidgetLocker. Replacing the slide (up/down) to answer is not that simple because it's part of the dialer, not the lock screen.
So if you like HTC sense and the sense dialer, I think you have to stick with the slide up/down for answer. I'm sure that some clever dev eventually will iron out the problem, but currently I see no solution.

Agree with every word..

WM Unlock screens

Hey !!! I need unlock screens for windows mobile. is it possible that we collect all the links here! I'm looking for the nicest one. anyone can help me out ? im using windows mobile 6.1. I can't seem to find a nice unlock screen. pls help out thx

I'm by no means and expert, but a number of months back I did a big search for the best lock screen for me. After a lot of looking, I eventually stuck with the default lock screen in WM. The reason being that this was the only one that prevented holding down the red button from turning off the screen. I kept accidentally turning off my phone when it was in my holster. I did add a small program that automatically locks my TouchPro2 when I hit the power button.
The other two major contenders that I tried:
S2U2 = Slide to Unlock ver. 2. Great program... very customizable and lot of features. But as I mentioned, it wouldn't prevent the power off for my device.
ThrottleLock. Another nice program. Unlike the many slide to unlock, this one you have to "type" in a quick pattern that you set in order to unlock your phone. Gives you a bit of password protection along with making it easy to lock/unlock. Again, wouldn't prevent power for me.

use those alternatives, or use wm 6.5
