I looked everywhere and couldn't find if the Touch Pro was compatible with iPhone Slider by chrismrulz or S2U2 by A_C. And if they are which is less buggy with the phone. Also do either activate when the phone goes into sleep mode automatically or do I manually have to activate them? Thx in Advance.
I'm using A_C's S2U2 with my TP and it works great. The only caveat is that currently S2U2 isn't able to lock the TP's home key, so when your phone is locked and you press that key, it bypasses the lock and opens your home screen.
It 's compatible but we don 't use it because of memory drain that we notice. That 's why nobody 's talking about it.
Oh clandestino_usr is using it... LOL.
Is it a touch pro issue because I saw a video on youtube with a Touch Diamond using S2U2 and it didn't look any slower. And from what I hear chrismrulz's iPhone Slider takes even less resources to run than the previous.

Hey guys
New to TouchFlo - got it installed yesterday.
Having an issue though.
When I open it, by clicking the taskbar button, or in Start, it opens up.
When i want to go back to Today screen, I swipe up on it to toss it away, or even if i hold the right taskbar button to close it, it goes away.
If i try to access it again, nothing happens. screen stays on Today, but is not functional unless i press the END key, as if an invisible FLO is over the screen
Whats up here?
here is what i flashed yesterday
T-Mobile 2.26 ROM : MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe

running old AT&T blue network on 8125
installed apps:

I had the iphone phonepad and stuff installed, but i couldnt figure out how to switch back to the Today screen without clicking SETTINGS, and still having iphone running. it was slow and laggy. any way around this?
thanks
I had same issue, only solution for me, was to stop using TouchFlo
Touchflo will only pull itself up the first time period...
Afterwards when you push the button to access it, it will appear nothing will happen... however if you swipe your finger as if you were turning the cube, it will infact go to the next page..... try it out
that is stupid!
any hopes of a fix?
The various versions of touchflo on wizard require you to press a button before getting touch to work. Depending on the ROM, this could be button 4 or left softkey.
HTC Tocuh has a video of Touch phone on their website. I see that even here, a button is pressed every time the touch features are accessed. This may be a feature of touch itself, rather than a bug in the way touchflo works on wizard.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can buy a touch.

the touchFLO is hack for work on wizard....so is very hard to have this work perfect.
if you realy need the cube working 100% buy a touch
Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a screen lock for Tomtom software. I have the polaris running V7 of tomtom. The problem is I use it with the motorbike and earpiece.
So basically I set the destination, drop it in my pockets and listen for directions however the screen needs to be active. If it looses focus or the screen goes blank then directions updates stop. Otherwise the screen keeps getting pressed while riding so directions get interrupted.
Anyway I can get around this. tom tom screen lock would be great.
Hi Dusty, I'm a biker too so I already faced (and solved) that!
There are two problems using TomTom as we need to use:
1. if Polaris goes in sleep mode (blank screen), TomTom looses focus and stops working;
2. random screen taps (typically wen you store your PDA in a pocket) can of course modify/interrupts itineraries.
To solve both of them, I suggest you not to use any third parties' screen lock.
Just do as follows:
set your battery saver off (so your Polaris never get sleep);
launch TomTom and choose your destination;
go back to WM without quitting TomTom (you can easily do that setting one of the hw buttons to launch "Today" screen);
use stock WM screen lock
enjoy your ride
Hi
Could you, please, explain what is "stock WM screen lock" exactly?
Does it a 3rd party application itself?
I have TomTom V6. I stops to respond when it goes to the system tray, which means that the trick with "Today" is not good enough for TT V6.
Regards.
PS. Correction: I was wrong, TomTom V6 works when in the system tray
The stock WM screen locker is an utility I've found preloaded on my Polaris so I do believe is a standard WM tool (see first picture, it's the red rounded icon).
I also have TT6 (see second picture) and it continues to work fine when I press the Hw button that brings me to "Today" (I assigned the "explorer" button, but you can configure any other Hw command).
Thank you very much, deepblue68
I was wrong, your advise works fine!
Best regards!
Hmmm
I think the key is disabling screen saver/poweroff which is what it will do when on the home screen.
I have re-felashed my phone now and can't find a lock function (do know what you are talking about. Sure its just a little menu option somewhere.
I am looking for an option whereby one can tap the screen to wake up device after lock. I tried to look for this setting but it isn't anywhere in the settings, its only for the hardware keys. Since I am using S2U2 I thought this would be useful, but the only way seems to be using the power button, anyway of using the tap on the screen to bring up the S2U2 interface? Thanks in advance.
I've got a different oppnion of usefulness in this case... I'd hate the thought of the PDA activating in my pocket waiting for me to unlock it, the screen always on is a miniature black hole for the battery...
I don't think there's a feature that would enable this, or any 3rd party program that would help you do this... but then again maybe I'm worng...
I agree with you, the only reason that prompted me to look for this option was because I installed S2U2. Now when I want to unlock device I have to switch on power before I use S2U2, whereas it would have been more convenient if I were to only tap the screen and the power turned on. Anyway S2U2 has an option to power down which can be set for seconds, there by saving battery power too. Strangely this option was there when I was using the XDA Wizard on WM 5. Maybe they removed it in WM 6?
Sorry, I don't know about that, I've never used S2U2 before, and I never will because when I want access to my PDA then I want it now, without any delays... but even if it has a power down option it wont help if its the pocket of my jeans...
Hi all! Just a question, can I assign the device lock function found in the today screen to a hardware button? I'm referring to the device lock function that comes with the default windows mobile which we can choose to make it appear at the today screen. It's one of the plugin in the today screen.
i remember using this app called ae button plus. check out this link:
http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
the app essentially expands the coverage and functionality of the hardware buttons. if you'll go through the list of functions, it can lock your device but it's only for wm5. i haven't tried this with wm6...though i'm not sure if an updated version has been released. i used this before when my athena was still in its original wm5 rom. but after upgrading to wm6.5, never found the use for it. secondly, didn't really use the app given that my athena, when closed, had the keyboard protecting the screen from accidental touches.
you could also try hbutton:
http://hbutton.dyndns.org/
haven't used it myself but i do know it can assign auto-screen rotation. not sure if the drop-down menu (when installed) will have screen lock on it. but essentially it works like ae button plus. and the 2 best parts of it: it works on wm6 and is freeware =)
hope that helps
Thanks! I will check it out.
Hi,
I have a touch Pro 2 and before a Touch HD and my question is : how do you use your gps software ? I mean, the purpose of the gps is to be seen.
I have on my phone s2u2, and when i launch TT7, one minute later s2u2 locks my screen... Grrr, Ok I disable it. I go in battery settings, uncheck combos telling to shut off the screen and the phone. The relaunch TT7.
But my phone doesn't lock anymore, and when i'm arrived, I need to recheck battery settings and s2u2. I saw that there was a soft (touchlock 0.4) that would have been what I needed but it's not working with TP2.
So how do you use your gps soft efficiently ?
Many thanks.
