As seen on Sony Ericsson W380 Gesture control
"Another novel feature of the W380 is its gesture control. Switch this feature on and you will be able to silence incoming calls or snooze alarm clocks by simply passing the palm of your hand above the sensor"
Well maybe this is a long shot but anyone has any idea if a program like that exists on WinMo?
Well as far as I see Sony made this Feature with help of a proximity-sensor and the only Phone/PDA I know which has one is the TouchPro 2
But there are a lot of Apps which let you silence Calls (built-in in most htc devices) and let you snooze alarm clocks by shaking or turning the Phones, also they let you unlock your Device and soooo much more funny things =)
give it a shot

yeah, but without touching the device? i guess if there is an app that enables camera when phone rings this thing can be done
Well you're free to try but i don't think you're chances of success are high
good luck

you can execute camera app with mortscript on the incoming call i think.
i think the i900 has proximity sensor......
sorry it doesnt.......
i8000 Omnia2 has it!
yup thats right..........
does it have it as a device you mean or does it work as an application?
...
think best/easiest way on HD wouldbe light sensor on top.
So on incoming call it should check if there is a short light-interruption.
Prob:
just works if phone shows face up on your desk
And won't work if room is dark (perhaps could work other way round - if it's too dark - check for short light notice, reflected by your hand from display)
otherwise is would be to hard and battery intensive cause you have to check both cameras (back and front) for changes.
I know silencing without touching it sound interesting but its a bit too playful for me.
Cause pressing vol down button is fastes way to silence.
Another way already included in some progs is turning phone face down to silence - think it's as stylish as waving to your phone.

FTouchSL has some screen based user definable gesture controls and is an extremely useful app, but no proximity controls.

so g-sensor can be used also. i think it's used by g-alarm on snooze, anyone seen it for silence also?
Credits:
Foremost, let us all acknowledge Koushik for his brilliant "Sensors" library upon which most if not all non-HTC apps that use the G-Sensor, Light-Sensor, and Navi-Sensor are built, simply ingenious. Moreover, I would like to recognize No2chem for the NeuLed2 library which is an equally exquisite peace of code that allows access to the Diamond/Pro Leds. Without those two guys, accessing these advance interfaces on the diamond/pro would be inapproachable at best.
Reason: HTC gave these phones lots of sensors, lets give them.."Sense".
......... EXTRA-Sense ...........
* Hopefully an innovaton, though mostly an integration of RANDOM but needful features...
Features:
1. Courtesy Profiles:
- Set Volume Profiles to activate on Face-Down & Face-UP events. Choose from: None, Silent, Normal, and Vibrate. You can also choose to suspend the Phone when its facing down.
2. Notifications-Sense:
- IF there is/are any outstanding notification(s), the device will vibrate whenever you move it - at customizable intervals: Missed Call(s), Voice Mail, and SMS.
3. Stylus-Sense:- When the Stylus is in/out: Will play sound + Blink the Back button's light.
- When the Stylus is out and the device is moved: Device will vibrate faintly + blink the Back button's light to REMIND you that the Stylus has not been placed back in. This goes on UNTIL the Stylus is placed where it should be.
* Uses "in.wav" & "out.wav" files in the \XSense\ Dir; you can use whatever wave files for this. OR, use the UI to select whichever wave files you want!
4. General Settings:
- Polling Interval: From 200 to 3000 Miliseconds. This determines the rate at which the G-Sensor is polled. Lower values give higher response times and fluid operation at the cost of battery life & CPU utilization.
- Flash Navi Lights: Will blink button lights to notify you of Profile changes and Stylus In/Out.
- Vibrate on Events: Will induce very subtle vibrations to notify you of Notifications and Profile changes.
- Suspend when UP-Side-Down: ???
- Light Navi Button When Suspended: Will do just that when the Light Sensor senses Dim or Dark conditions. This is an independent setting that turns ON the Navi button's light at suspend time, and OFF at Resume time (this is Event Driven, so no polling is involved). This feature really helps if, like me, you want to see where the damn thing is in the dark - before you launch it against the floor.
5. Installs to "\Program Files\XSense", and Creates 2 shortcuts:
"Start Menu\Programs\XSense" and "Startup\XSenseSvc".
Program Settings are saved to the Registry at "HKCU\Software\XSense\".
Use of System Resources:
1. Diskspace: 162 KB RAM footprint: 374-535 KB Battery: NOT observed.
2. CPU Usage: %0.29 Average. Spikes for 2 seconds to %2.7 - %8.5.
3. Battery Impact: Neligeable if at all!
* Indicated CPU usage occurs ONLY when there is an EVENT (posture changed, stylus in/out Sounds playing,
etc)
- Vibration: The way I like it is in waves of 200 miliseconds length! I generally hate vibrations, so if you want it at 201 ms. you're welcome to make your own program and exercise your personal taste.
- This prgram Registers Event Handlers for: "G-Sensor", "Incoming Call", "Phone Call in Progress", "Stylus in/out", and Power Manager events. DO NOT move it to Internal Storage, you have been warned.
Requirements:
.NET 3.5 + HTC device with GSensor & Light Sensor.
Compatibility:
Specifically designed for Diamond & Raphael, but will work fine on HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
Bugs/Limitations:
Knock yourself out...
Release Notes:
- This is the LAST revision/release/app I make; programming too much work
- Download & Install the CAB
- Run the XSense from your Start Menu\Programs, customize to taste, and enjoy!
Change Log:
- Brand New UI: VERY "finger friendly" this should be especially useful if you have a WVGA Device
i.e. HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
- Revised entire code for existing & potential bugs, and Performance
tweaked to death.
- Removed various functions (auto speakerphone, car-kit options, etc...). Use "Touch InCall Screen Tweak" for these,
its handles Phone/Speaker brilliantly!
- Shortcut added to Startup for automatic launch after reboot.
- Shortcut with a nice icon added to Start Menu (Credit to VetVito).
- General Tab:
- Navi Button will only light up if the device is in a dark place, i.e. You will
always see where your phone is (before you trash it against the wall).
- Stylus Tab:
- UI elements to select & set sounds for Stylus-in/out events.

where and how can one get a copy??
sounds interesting
Hmm.. bummer! I thought this would be popular - further feed my delusions of grandeur! Ok, I'm taking this off-forum.
Of course this is great idea. But if it was born some months ago, it would've been implemented in every Diamond. Nevertheless it is great. I will download and play with it,
best regards
Cool app, will be trying it out shortly.

Well, honestly, I was waiting for someone else to do it! Since the Omnia came out so many cried for its "courtesy mode" or something similar, yet no one took it up... So, I finally got tired of waiting lucky me, eh?
Cheers
So far so good, will do some testing and playing around. Thank you.
It is interesting but most features of your app already exsist in other software.
Courtesy-sense - well my phone does that already, granted it doesn't flash or vibrate but I'm not bothered that it doesn't.
Common-sense - loads of apps allow this to be done. I use Gyrator to achieve the effect and it serves me well.
They only part of your app I find really interesting is the Notifications-Sense, is it possible to make this a standalone app?
Sounds very interesting!!! Anyone detects bugs? Drain battery? Stable?
nice work
When I face down my Diamond, the LED is on, but how long is it going to glow. Till I turn it off? I don't think this is good for the battery.
best regards

Unless you have your own build of diamond/pro, you do NOT have courtesy-sense in the way I offer it; while face-down the device is switched to and stays on the silent profile; you do NOT hear any sound whatsoever as opposed to the native feature which will silence your ringer on a per-call basis!
While I used and still love Gyrator, I find its features irrelavent to my personal lifestyle - I find portrait view optimal "for me", so using a large program just to do what's "common sense" simply senseless. Utlimately, you are free to use whatever program(s) you please. Since I like integration/simplicity/lightness I will use mine
As for your request for a stand-alone app, I regret to say NO sorry

Till you turn it off, mate. I have been using this for 2 weeks now, I can tell you will notice NO difference in battery life enjoy
Touch HD
This sounds very interesting. Do you think it'll also work on the Touch HD (WM6.5)? This would be just what I've been looking for...
Cheerio
few things...
Courtesy-Sense: it does go silent when i flip it face down, but turning it back face up does not get it out of silent.
I'd really appreciate some way to configure features and possibly even turn some off.
Very good idea though, keep working on it.

Because the device is suspended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two Notes for everybody:
1. Suspending the device halts the processor, freezes all running threads, except hardware triggered events such incoming call, power manager calls, some keyboard events, and registered "run at time" notifications events. G-Sensor state change does NOT trigger a device power state change event.
2. Causing the device to respond to G-Sensor driver events WHILE the device is suspended will cause extensive strain to the battery since the device will wake up every single time you move it! The workaround is still equally exhausting to the system, which is to set the device's power permanantly ON and then turn the screen on/off based on the G-sensor's state (i.e. face up/down =screen off, everything else = ON".
Conclusion: this is the way Windows Mobile is buit, SO, while your phone is ON put it face-down to switch sound profile to silent and face-up/portrait to set it back to normal sound.
So, I hope this answers y'all to satisfaction...
how about not suspending device then? seems bit pointless having to manually bring device out of "suspend" so that automatic feature kicks in. again, some may agree with me, others might not, so having some way to configure those features would satisfy all.
Hi there! I have a problem with S2U2 on my I8000 Omnia 2. I installed it, and tried it. It's a cool program, but the call screen is not working to me.
----------
I also have new problems with S2U2. smile.gif I don't care about the sliders anymore, I was turned all off. But when my phone rings, and I press the answer button, the phones keep ringing and not do anything. I can't accept calls with S2U2. Is this a known issue or someone have an idea how to fix this? Or I should use an other app like S2U2?
----------------------
This messages copying modoco.
Try the latest S2U2 Release v2.30, works like a charm on my Omnia2.
Make sure to select RawBuffer as Graphics Mode. (Setting is located at Advanced S2U2 Settings page)
S2U2 was a real pain in the ^ss up until v2.30.
I haven't had any locking issues with the new version, but some serious battery drain have been spotted. I don't mind, since I have chargers at the car, the office and any other place I need it.
It takes like 13% percent of battery overnight when the phone sleeps.
Without S2U2 I can navigate with GPS for an hour for around 10%.
i am facing one serious problem when using S2U2.
original Samsung Omnia2 alarm does not work properly under S2U2.
sometime alarm ring properly. but sometime, only a very short "beep" then it stopped.
this happened especially during alarm in Snooze.
anyone know how to tackle this problem?
thank you in advance

I am using WM6.1 and problem with s2u2 (LATEST) is that while it locks the screen nicely, it leaves the ans/end hard key exposed. This creates problem when I accidentally press them while taking phone out of the pouch. For that I had to have other arrengements as mentioned in this forum. If you had no such issues, then your OS must be of a different version. I hate machine specific softwares.
Not true
Out of all HTC snobs here at XDA, A_C is the one who really cares. V2.22 was blazinly fast updated to V2.24 because of dimming issue on ... thats correct - Samsung Omnia II devices. So talking about device-specific software about S2U2 is so wrong and unfair.
I am facing a different problem with S2U2..
When I am listening to music through Touch Player, the song gets paused as soon as S2U2 activates, then I have to press the lock key and then the song plays again
When S2U2 is not running it plays the song flawless..
Any settings I need to change..?

But at the end of the day, it is not locking the ans/end lock keys which is a problem
Ps: I hv never owned an HTC
No need to use S2U2 now, I am using TouchLockPro, much much better, no more secondary gesture when power on, also the app is fully utilizing the G-sensor and the light sensor.

I had the same problem that was very annoying and some of the above too...The main reason I wanted s2u2 was because I didn't want the hardware key button answer call to be enable.Sometimes I was answering calls without knowing it because it was in my bag and with all the stuff in it the button was pushed by itself...From what i see samsung herself has slides for accept or end calls, why the hardware key buttons have to work too?Do you know any trick to disable them when the phone is locked...
Thanks i n advance!
I have the same problem with my Omnia.
Using latest S2U2 (2.43) and setting an alarm with the standard Samsung app.
I have tried most probably all combinations of s2u2 and alarm settings, without any luck.
Anyone ever found a solution for this ?
Hello all.
I have a TD2 with The original HTC WM 6.5 ROM.
I love it, but one thing annoys me:
The world clock that pops up when pressing the watch.
It gets in the way everytime the phone ring, and i grab for it in my pocket.
I have googled it, and searched this forum, and all i have been able to find was a cooked ROM that has it disabled, but also had othér changes i don't want.
Is there a kind soul inhere hwo knows a simpler way to disable this "world Clock" feature? (and is willing to share the secret with me )
Thank you in advance Humpeligimp
What World Clock?
I'm assuming you mean when you tap on the clock on the home screen, unless you installed something - SPB Time, or something else with a screensaver - which gives you a world clock?
I hate to suggest the obvious, but if you don't put the lock on when the phone is in your pocket there is potential for bigger problems than the Clock settings to be displayed - a feature, rather than a bug.
My suggestion would be to engage lock before pocketing phone - last time I forgot I made a long silent call, so I soon learned!
Yes that world clock.
I am sorry if it could be misunderstood.
The ringing phone in the pocket was just an example. (Of course i lock my screen)
What i realy ment was can it be disabled ?
To stop it from stealing focus when i accidentially taps the time.
I find it annoying, and i have no need know the time in some other country,
just from the front of my phone.
I like to link my clock so that when i press it, it launches second today. I do this using ssmaho 0.0.4.0. I suppose you could link it to take you to the home screen (ie. do nothing)!
Thank you. I'll check ssmaho and see.
Humpeligimp
Just wondering, because I usually use Task to straight away input or display my to do list and it would be convenient if the task is able to combine with the appointment so that its able to be viewed on the Lockscreen.
The lock i use, in fact most lock i know except for CHT's lock
(which unfortunately doesnt support in landscape mode, and every time someone slides out my x1 causing it to go in landscape, the screen goes all weird)
they only display the appointment.
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestion on such possibility?
I have try search around, can't find a decent lock that display task :/
So i'm hoping auto synchronise my task to appointment would be a better solution since i like the default lock.
