Stylus Lock Application.... from Diamond Applications Threads

I'm constantly "stealing" ideas and applications from the Diamond Thread as theres a huge amount of development going on there and most of its good to go for our Pro's.....
but this one is absolutely essential to anyone who has accidentally made a call in their pocket, or answered a call etc - Its perfect and I wanted to share in case you hadnt seen it!
All credit goes to ZuinigeRijder and he definately has my thanks for sharing his hard work

Thanks for the credits and great that it works perfectly for you.
I added to the StylusLock description how to go to sleep immediately, by just pressing the Power Button and inserting the Stylus. But maybe you did know this already.

Thanks ZuinigeRijder, this was answer to all my locking needs!
For GPS purposes, it would be nice to have option to lock/unlock with lets say long keypress (home, back, answer, hangup -key), since its bit tricky on my mount to take out stylus for unlocking.
But anyway, this is best so far. I also love your idea to keep app simple and low resource eater.
(I will post duplicate of this to Diamond side also).

Nice thread
I think will be good to include what ROM you have tested this software from Diamond. This will give us a really good info...
Cheers

So every time you want to make or answer a call you have to remove the stylest?.. Is that right?

No - Every time you want to un-lock the phone with the lock enabled you have to remove the stylus? To re-lock just insert the stylus? You can switch the "software" on and off for when you want it enabled or dissabled?
To me EN4CER69 this is a bit of a "Doh...!!!!" type question? If you didnt have to un-lock before making or answering a call - then the phone wouldnt be locked now would it????? Sigh.....

Been a long day m8... Mushyy
While the software is promising I am not sure how convenient it is to pull the stylus in and out before you can answer a phone call. See the video above for the app in action
I'll have a ponder..

For me its definately worth the effort having in the recent past called people when I shouldnt (pocket called) while talking either about them, or about things I shouldnt - or both, as well as having answered calls by accident in my pocket with the same embarassing results.....
I've been using the sofware for a few days now and have already got used to it..... I'll leave you to "ponder" ......

Stylus Lock
I have trailled Stylus Lock for a few days now.
It took a bit of getting used to, mainly due to the lack of on screen notification of the lock state.
My main gripe is that the power button was disabled in the lock state. This forces me to use the 'Turn off Device' in the Power settings, set to something like 40 seconds. Not a major problem, but I would like to be able to manually switch off the power as soon as I return the stylus and lock the device. Does that make sense?
Once more thing - I realise that this is called 'Stylus Lock' and I think that function is great. However, I think a simple pattern of keying the hardware keys as an unlock method would be a great addition.
That would solve the problem of not having to take the stylus out just to read an SMS or answer a call.
So what I'm saying is that this application is great. It is stable and worked as designed.

1. Do not like the Power Button being disabled. No chance for immediate power off when locked.
2. Screen Notification
3. Alternative Unlock using a pattern of key presses.
Thanks

You can do it like this.
While Stylus Lock enabled you are done with your tasks and want to put device in sleep mode and locked - Press power button and then insert stylus. Device goes to sleep and you feel lock vibration notify. To wake up device, simply pull out stylus and it unlocks also.

StylusLock
Youtube video StylusLock in action on wmpoweruser.com. Note that this video is version 1.1. New version 1.2 has a StylusLock indicator and only vibrates now when locked or Stylus LockMode is enabled. This saves a bit battery.
Version 1.2.1
* Found the problem why the icon was disappearing. So now I do not need to redo the locked icon each 55 seconds No CPU usage again.
* Apply the lock icon immediately AFTER it is really locked
* Remove the lock icon immediately AFTER it is really unlocked
* I had a lockup of the TD today (with version 1.2), so I do not hope this version is buggy
* Added the missing sources (forgot to put under source control
Version 1.2
* Added StylusLock indicator when locked. Works for TouchFlo3D screen as well as other Today screens.
* Because the StylusLock indicator is now visible if locked, it no longer vibrates when unlocked (saves extra battery)
* Kept StylusLock as simple and small as possible (only 1Kb in memory) and does still consume no CPU (check with TaskManager!!).
* v1.2 is even a bit smaller then v1.1, although the StylusLock indicator has been added.
Version 1.1
When the stylus is put inside it will only vibrate if "stylus Lock mode" gets enabled and/or the phone is getting locked. If there is no vibration, you know the phone is not locked and "stylus Lock mode" is disabled. Added source code.

1. Just push the Power button to go to sleep, before inserting the Stylus.
2. This is added in version 1.2.1
3. Although the TouchPanel and Hardware keys are locked, still the hardware buttons area is sensitive. So I am looking into another lock/unlock method in addition to the Stylus.......but be patient......

Texting - word catchup

I've noticed that when I'm texting using the keyboard, it can take a few seconds for the words to catch up to what I am typing. Its weird, I'll be finished typing my thought, but I have to wait for all the words to show up after I'm done. I've turned off the autocorrect and other options thinking it was the cause .. but to no avail. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks

also want help with this

I have the same problem. A friend of mine with a non-HTC, WM6 device also has the issue too. My guess is it's just WM6 being slow and not the fault of the device.

Same thing here...
but i think it happens to be due to the lag.
Because ill get a text message...and ill open it...and it will be on the screen.
Then i will open my keyboard it would switch to landscape and i will start typing, and if i look up, it would be as if the words were trying to "catch up" to my typing. But after like 5 secs it would be back to normal.
Maybe just the lag that comes out of openning the keyboard?

I think it's the lag too. Because if this happens when I notice my device is running slow. After I do a hard reset though, when it's the fastest, i don't have this problem.
The other day I typed a six page paper on my phone and there was no lag; I had just done a hard reset.

you guys try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436795
It worked for the Tilt. I haven't tried i yet on the Fuze but it was a game changer for the Tilt.

I would blame wm6.1 for the lagginess since all the phones i've used have this sort of issue. Add to that tf3d and your processor is working ot.

umma have to try this on my Spint Touch Pro

anyone tried this yet?

By the way my Fuze (with stock ROM) doesn't have a delay. It's one of the few things I really noticed on the change from the Tilt so I don't have a need to try it...sorry but hope this helps

This is likely entirely related to the amount of 'stuff' you have going on in the background, on a clean ROM you'd be hard pressed to get this to happen. The more stuff you pile on, the less responsive it's going to be. I didn't notice this behavior for the short time I was running the stock Fuze ROM, though, so a 3rd party program may be the culprit.

I think its because the OS give priority to redrawing the screen, and your text message comes second. Every WinMo phone I have ever used will lag a little bit when chaging the screen.

It is pretty small if you ask me. I've found that rotating your thumb "around" the center circle hardware button zooms in / out on the text. It doesnt work so 100% smoothly (WinMo again probably lol) but it does let you enlarge text. you can also set your typing text and system font to be larger elsewhere but I dont recall off hand.

of course when sliding out the keyboard there will be catchup just because its working extra but after a few seconds its all good and stays fast

Yeah I have a Touch Pro and I think its worth it. I've been texting all day on it and the catch up has been improved greatly.

Yea I also just did the suggested tweak and now it takes about half or less of the time to catch up. The lag is usually only a few characters now.

long phone lag when trying to answer a call HTC Touch Pro

Does anyone know of a fix for the long lag in answering calls for the HTC Touch Pro? If you can help please write back in the simplest terms! I am just learning how to use the phone and finally learned how to download and install cab files.
Thanks!

What have you installed (to cause this problem)?

Do a search for "diamond tweak". There is an option to shorten the delay when an incoming calls rings. Perhaps that will help.

if you have S2U2 installed, you could try uninstalling or disabling that. You could also switch from the Diamond dialpad to the regular WinMo dial pad (the screen you see when go to the dialer). You can make this change using the Advanced Config Tool (i'm pretty sure, if not, then try Diamond Tweak).
There's also the initial delay value in the registry as mentioned in the last post.
These should all help, some more than others though.

there actually is an issue with Diamond tweak and advanced config...
if you use them to set your data disconnect time if re writes a registry value that makes your phone fritz when trying to answer calls.in reg editor go to HKLM/comm/connmgr/planner.
Look for a entry of suspendresume. change that to #777. shold cure your issue. while you are there if you want to help out your battery change the Cachetime value to 60. that will kill your data afret 60 seconds of no use.

weird.....suspendresume on mine shows ~GPRS! as a value??

thanks for the suggestions and how do I fix the hang up lag?
The slow delay in answering calls was a problem right out of the box. When I installed the slide to answer function the phones responsiveness greatly improved. There is also a huge lag from the time I end a call to the time I can go back to my home screen. Any suggestions for fixing that lag?

no idea, but i have the same thing

No luck with the tweak mentioned in post #5. However, after I replaced the HD CallerID with the default WM one (which is not that bad!) the phone responds rapidly :
1) Zero lag between first caller's ring and screen respond.
2) Almost zero lag between first caller's ring and bluetooth handset ring.
3) Less than 0.5 ring before the device starts ringing.
Only a minor problem : The bluetooth icon does not show any more on the taskbar although the BT connections works fine !

Ok, where do you change to the default caller ID? I tried the registry edit and changing to the default dialer skin and had the same problem. This is so frustrating! About 50% of the time when it rings I hit the answer button and nothing happens. It even takes about 10 seconds before the screen changes from the home screen to the phone screen when it starts ringing.

How big a file for the ringtone are you using? The bigger the file, IMHO, the longer it'd take for the phone to load it...

Delete your call history and the lag after hanging up should disappear.

Htc Diamond Regedit
Hello,
I have a problem with my HTC.
I used PHM Regsitry. I found the Suspendresume key, and it wrote GPRS!
I clicked the key, and because I did not know who to change the value, I just wrote #777.
Now when I try to go there and change what I did, when I click Settings in regedit, it is emty or the program crackes.
Please help.

Paches and fixes
Goto HTC's website. There is a patch to resolve the issue for the delay in sound when answering calls.
Regarding the delay after the phone cal has been discontinued use "Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3" (search this site). There is a setting that you can change to resolve it (default is 3000ms[3sec])

This hangup delay is one of the first settings I changed when I got the phone. Almost everytime I scroll through contacts phonebooks, the phone would accidentally dial, so I press end end end repeatedly, but by the time it hangs up, the other party already had my caller id, and would call back asking why I called.
Why is this 3 sec delay built-in? There must be a reasoning behind it.
And while we're on the delay issue, why did they set the camera up with a 3-5 second delay to shoot? Is it for the autofocus? I got rid of the reg setting, now the camera is faster, and no autofocus issues... so why were these delays there to begin with?

I don't know if you resolved your issue.
You just have to erase "~GPRS!" and type in "#777"
No quotes of course.
I use Dotfred Task Manager 3.1

Same problem
I recently got this problem with the answer lag, I was using the same rom, same applications, same everything for the past few weeks. I am not entirely sure what caused the problem.
What would happen is when I get a call and I hit the answer key, the phone stops ringing and vibrating but it would still be flashing and has the phone number shown, I also have the slider installed and when I slide it, the same problem comes up!
In my reg editor, I do not have HKLM!
Any advise would be appreciated, this is getting annoying for both sides of the call.
Thank You
UPDATE
I actually may have found the solution, I removed the wireless manager shortcut when holding the answer button, and so far it's been working very quickly.
Go to settings -> Buttons and switch "button 1" from w/e u had to "<none>" I didn't even restart my phone...
2nd Update
Nope, just got an international call and it's holding it up... maybe it has to do with caller ID ?

HKLM is HKey_Local_Machine

Any Way to stay in keypad mode during call?

My screen goes crazy. During a call up to my ear it flips to horizontal, changes out of key pad view and not always to mute/speakerphone... keys view, sometimes to contact info, and can be a nightmare to get back to "end call." I've found times when the caller hung up but the TP2 put them on hold and kept my time going.
Any programs and or reg hacks to:
1) stop the horizontal flip when placed to an ear, and
2) keep it in keypad mode or general call mode?
Real pain when dialing into a system that requires keypad responses. Everytime I put it back to my ear I have to go through a crazy sequence to get back to the key pad.
This is my only complaint wth this phone, it's not easy to use as a phone!
Thanks.

I have the same problem when dialing into VM, or into any call queue. I looked through the registry a bit. Didn't see anything obviously labeled.

yeah me too. Only thing I could find was using Gyrators' exception list to not rotate the phone, but it wasnt 100% reliable. I would *LOVE* to find a way to stay in keypad mode too.

Hi All - I guess I'm just jumping on the bandwagon but I have the same issue and find it annoying. I loaded the 'incall screen tweak' but that didn't work. Any help more seasoned members than I could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!!!

I had the same issue too, whenever I put my phone up to my ear (left handed) it would go into landscape. The fix is simple but you have to edit a registry setting. I'm going by memory here, so please forgive the vague info
1) make sure to backup your reg info
2) using your favorite reg edit program, goto
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist
3) now this is the part I kind of forgot, you need to find a string with the DATA value that includes "phone" or "dailer"
4) delete that string
5)soft reset and give it a try, the phone shouldn't go into landscape whenever you turn it during a call.

OK, I went where you said, but no dialer, and only phone entry is:
Phone/Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
And deleting this stopped "lefty" in call flipping? Doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't seem to only control dialer or phone.
Please confirm or anyone out there please help. I don't want to delete something don't understand.
Can I simple change Dialog to something like "Zero" or "0"?

That's it! forgot what the process name was, but yeah, deleting that stopped the phone from trying to change to landscape during a phone call. Deleting that will tell the G-Sensor not to change the orientation of the phone's screen during a phone call, however it also tells it not to change the orientation during a picture (which wasn't a big deal for me cuz I can change it when I view them in windows). You can always look up the process in google or even the forum search tool if you're still scared.

If anyone else is interested I tried a "partial" delete of the suggestion above. I created a new string leaving out the Phone.
Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
deleted old string with phone/....
So far no more "lefty" crazy problems, and pictures seem to appear in landscape.
Here's hoping all is OK!

Awesome, good job!

I installed Gyrator 2. Just create a new event with the phone as the application. Nothing for orientation, nothing on stylus, and rotate screen for actions. Then promote the event to the top. Highlight your new phone event and select orientation, it will have a check mark and a number one next to the event. It hasn't failed on me yet and I use the key pad all day long with my job!

I just upgraded to the Verizon official WinMo 6.5 and the registry hack doesn't seem to work anymore, and I'm having issues getting Gyrator to work, has anyone resolved this issue for WinMo 6.5?

I haven't had any of the issues with the 6.5 upgrade that were mentioned with 6.1. Haven't needed to add S2U2 since the screen lock is built in and the phone is much more responsive when placed to the ear and then moved away to access the keypad. It's not perfect but vastly improved over 6.1...
I guess my point is try it the way it is with 6.5 and see if you thinks its better. leave gyrator and reg hacks aside for a few.

How can I make it more difficult to answer an incoming call?

Lately my phone answers incoming calls too easily. Just the slightest touch anywhere on the screen answers the call. The green dot means nothing anymore. I keep my phone in my pocket and now many calls are answered by simply pulling the phone fro my pocket. Is there a way to truly lock the screen or make it more difficult to unintentionally answer a call?

buy a cover,,,

Get a Samsung

You mean like lock in the box? That seems useless. I do have a cover. If moving the green dot answered the phome, that would be fine. But any touch to the screen answers it now. Something changed in recent updates.

I mean like a wallet type of case.
You have checked the phone setting that there isn't option to answer with a key?
Also some Accessibility setting might help...

I can't find any setting for answering a phone call. Several configuration settings have seemed to have been removed with recent updates. Not just with answering but also with data control.

Accessibility.. "motor and cognition" in my LG.
Touch control areas --> make most of the area in phone app not responding to touch.
Touch and hold for calls -> is it on? If not, try it and change the "touch input" time to much much longer..
These I found ... might work.. depends..

Thanks for replying. I do not have a touch control area setting. I do have a touch and hold delay, but changing that setting did not help.

Certainly isn't an issue on my fully updated, stock 4a. Check Accessibility settings. If no joy reset you phone

I switched my Dialer to a third party and the problem cleared. I guess the stock dialer just became too sensitive. Not sure why Google did that.
