Hi,
is there any possiblity to lock the screen during a call? Sometimes I touch the screen with my face ....
thx
have you tried to 'double tap' the screen?
i know it only works with some roms. i am on energys cht rom and that locks the screen when i 'double tap' during a call.
There are a few apps like phone genius that will put a cheek gaurd on which gives you a lock screen for calls. umnet.com has the download for it.
In theory the phone has a proximity sensor and should lock once it senses your big face is getting close....in reality bad programming could mean that it doesn't.
Yeah ... ok .... I tried Phone Genius from umnet.com ans it worke fine ...
The double tap function does not work on my HD2 (Nov 2009, original HTC ROM GER, all updates und hotfixes)
Two more questions:
1) Can anyone create a .cab with the double tap function to lock the screen?
2) I downloaded the Phone Genius (V1.1) from umnet.com - is it a free version or just a trail?
thx
Press the Windows key then select "Lock" from the bottom left
theres a few apps, just gotta search for them
should be free trial
Try this. When you remove your face and want to lock it again just touch your screen with two fingers.

Same here. The Panelbutton as well as the Camera button still work in S2U2 lock mode. It doesn't concern me much, because it's essential that noone gets a phone call or music starts to play while the phone is in my pocket. If the panel-button is accidentally pressed nothing bad happens.

This sometimes occured when I set the "Display Mode" to DirectDraw. Now I use RawBuffer and haven't had this problem for 3 weeks now.
Let me ask you a question:
When in landscape-mode and the phone is locked with S2U2 the button to slide reacts very slow. In portrait-mode the button follows the finger very quickly. Is it the same with your phone?

I have the same problem. Maybe it's the X1
Thanks, so then I'm calmed First I thought it could be an issue of the picture I use but after a few different ones it was still the same. So it's not just my phone
that's interesting, with the exception of the landscape problem I wasn't aware of the x-panel and camera button issues. This is more likely going to be a fix / update needed for S2U2...
I have got the same problem.
S2U2 doesn't work correctly in landscape mode on my Xperia. The sliding thing and the whole program become very slow.
This problem doesn't seem to be solved yet.
I am wondering if its a Xperia only problem, otherwise in should have been fixed till now.

The Xperia always seems to be very slow in landscape mode no matter if I'm using the SE panel, the messaging application or touchflo3D. Very strange behaviour considering the display resolution stays the same.
It is partly a xperia specific problem. The panel button is controlled at a very low level in the phone. The panel button action is located in the registry, but that action is called from a low level. The button isn`t recorded by most programs.
A_C knows of this issue.
btw, you can disable landscape for s2u2. So it`s in portrait allways.

Yeah, that's right. But then sometimes the screen messes up completely when I slide out the keyboard and the phone wants to change the screen mode. Also, I have problems with the dialer and S2U2. Sometimes the dialer screen stays on top but S2U2 locks the screen. There is no way to unlock the screen anymore because S2U2 is not on top but the dialer screen cannot be closed.
If this problem is Xperia specific, I will disable S2U2 in landscape mode. I always hoped they will bring a update which solves this problem.

Yes i realized the same. I thought this would be a problem of Windows Mobile and not of the Xperia. If it is a Xperia problem, this is a big minus point for the phone.
It's a nice unlock system, but I have found that when I use this programme the battery loses power quickly.
was using ver 1.44 very stable for a long time
until i installed panel manager from r3a... same issues with panel button unlocking and ok button unlocking
upgraded to 1.62 and problems got worse...
downgraded to 1.52 and switched back to panel manager r2a for the time being.. which is ok.. b/c i rarely used the growing panel and the new cnn panel sucked anyway..
would love to have all the features of s2u2 1.62 but alas xperia doesn't quite seem to work that well with it
currently i have s2u2 set to ignore screen rotation and not unlock with keyboard slide out
my only real grief at this point is that it won't let me use slied to answer or just the regular answer keys with caller id turned on ... i have to turn it off and use the SE answer key completely unlocks my phone to display that message too so agravating...
A_c makes a kick ass program none-the-less ... !!!
same problem here. Also with last version no lock for panel button and camera button...
Camera and Panel button are known issues ...but not a problem for me either -as I do not see S2U2 as a "security focused lock" ...instead I see it as a "prevent accidental calls etc" type of lock
I still use the system lock with password if I need to "security lock it" (using a today shortcut that immediately invokes it, with password)
Must say I suffered some probs with v1.4 and v1.5 (caller ID & power drain)
But am using 1.62 without problems -it doesn't freeze on caller ID (I have it on window rather than full screen) and the battery drain has gone completely (uses <10% overnight for example, with G-alarm and data / active sync both running all night)
I found that it really was critical to uninstall, delete the S2U2 folder in program files, and delete the whole S2U2 tree in the registry ...and then soft reset -before installing the new version
I'm a huge fan of S2U2 ...its just awesome -without a doubt THE must-have app IMHO and always the first thing I install after a hard reset
I use S2U2 and have just upgraded to 1.62. Seems to be working ok so far, although no-one's called me since I upgraded so not sure of freeze problem :-(
(note to self: Get out more, make some friends ;-)
I find landscape doesn't work well at all with S2U2, but then I also find that with PointUI Home2, so maybe it's an X1 thing with particular software...?
The battery drain issue does seem to be resolved in 1.62.
I too am having problems with screen freezing when a call is received - the slider doesn't answer and since I had the buttons disabled there was no way to answer the call.
I'm still experimenting with other settings but I don't get many calls so it is a long process.
Still, a superb program and essential for me because of the problems with a magnetic case which causes calls to be answered just by removing the phone from the case.

Which means it can't even do accidental call prevention properly, as I found today. It's still quite easy to press the Panel button then the Call button in succession, as they are next to each other, especially if the phone's in a case. Result - pocket dialling, defeating the whole object of program. Shame really, as I've found S2U2 ideal on other phones.
Yep landscape is very slow ..... when i put ignore screen rotation on sometimes when open the keyboard screen goes all fuzzy... bitof a problem. But its a great program...sure it just needs some tweaks n bugfixxes for the X1
sweeet on v2.02 im no longer getting these landscape issues
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

Thanks, but I've found an ideal solutiuon - AutoLock. Now the screen is locking on an incoming call and I get the sliders
Hello all,
I like having my phone locked on the Windows Classic lock screen, as it means I can see the Manila homescreen when the screen is locked (unlike the slide to unlock of the Windows Default screen).
However, when I receive and incoming call on the Windows Classic lock screen, I am first asked to unlock the device, before I can answer the call with the Manila answer slider.
This isn't the case with the default lock screen.
Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this? Or some fix?
Or do I just need to get used to the Windows Default slide to unlock screen?
Thanks ^^
Anyone got any ideas if there anything we can do about this?
80 page views and no one has any ideas.
Hey again guys,
Sorry to bump this, but I was wondering if anyone knew/knows of a way around this. Basically, what happens, is this:
When the phone uses the Windows Classic lock screen (ie what it used to have on WinMo 6.1, not slide to unlock) when someone phones me, the phone brings up the unlock button to press, before I can use the slider to answer the call.
As far as I remember, it only did this on my X1 when I switched to itjes Leo 10 version, which had the Manila version our phones had.
It's a bit annoying, as I like to have my phone locked on the Manila home screen, but having to unlock the phone before answering a call is very annoying.
Maybe someone has an idea of a fix, or a work around to stop it bringing up the unlock button?
Hum and what if you just press the real physical answer button ?

I could do that yes. But the screen stays locked with the unlock button on the screen. So it still doesn't really fix anything other than being able to answer the phone.
I was wondering why it does this (always used to bring up the slider on Manila 2.1 on my X1) just wondering why it doesn't with WinMo 6.5 and HTC Sense on.
Anyone managed to get this to work yet?
Can't get the screen to auto-unlock when someone phones =(
Still having to use the slide-to-unlock slider. Oh well.
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!

Hi all,
I try to find a solution for Sens ROM and the default slide for the "incomind call".
I would like to back to the default Android and not the HTC slide, the reason is juste for the pocket, because i always respond to a call when a take the phone from my pocket.
If i can change this slide it wase great !!!
Do you know a solution ?
The second point is for the windows button (the hard button), itry to disable it for the screenlock. when you use 2 times it's unlock the phone, it's a probleme when it was in my pocket.
Any idea for this problems solved ?
Thx all

If you're willing to try a new build, hyperdroid has the horizontal call answering slide.
