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.

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.
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.
When I had the Romeos 1.40.1 ROM I had setup my phone (Using advanced config and perhaps a registry tweak, I can't remember) to lock itself when I press the power button.
Now with the proven ROM 1.0.4 my phone doesn't lock at all. The power button just turns the screen off, and when I press it again it just shows my password lock, not the actual device keylock which I want. Also, sometimes after I unlock the password lock, the backlight is still dimmed until I lock and unlock the phone again.
Perhaps it's because the ROM has advanced config and Diamond Tweak.
My question is, how can I get it working so when I press the power button, the device is keylocked, and after a timer of say, 30 seconds, the device is auto keylocked. I know I did this without some special software such as S2U2 or PocketShield. I want it setup how I had it before without that.
Regards
Apply the tweak again?
Keylocking is really problematic with TP. I've tried Sensorlock, Pocketshield but software keylockers get slow sometimes, especially when I am recieving a call. This makes no sense because using a PocketPC as a phone is preferable option . So I'd also prefer original keylocker but it locks always during a call so I dont get instant access to calendar which is my main goal of using a smart phone btw...
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...
Hello,
I have an HTC Touch Cruise with windows mobile 6.1. I use it on my motorcycle with TOMTOM NAVIGATOR, and earphones. I config TOMTOM, push the today screen and lock my phone. It works perfect for 10 min.
After the 10 min, windows mobile displays a message:
"TOMTOM NAVIGATOR is still running an using the battery would you like to close NAVIGATOR", you must aswer the question with YES or NO.
If you do not answer the question, windows mobile close the NAVIGATION software. > very irritating....
Is there an solution to disable this battery saving function, so the NAVIGATION software must never stop automatically...
Thanks
I think you should go check out the Power configuration. it seems to be that after 10min the phone goes in standby mode.

Yes just power off and wait.
no solution
No that not the problem, i hav already tried. Look also at the picture
well, then it's caused by the software it self. did you go through the setting of tomtom? i'm sure you can disable it. but how do you use it when you go to the today screen?only with the headphones?

ah, now I understands this. so you minimize tomtom window!
I was so shure something is stealing focus from it but you've been doing it yourself
well then solution is easy, tomtom has to be on top. There is no option to disable this popup feature.
You need a diferent screen screen locker, you can't minimize TT (going to today screen)
try the one I am posting here, map it to a button (long press green)
this is from PHM tools, quite old, it will blank screen (no input possible)
to unblock you need to press 'action' button.
If this won't work, I am quite sure another will. search forum for one,
eventually you can set up autolock, but that's not too practical, you wound need to wait for it to lock screen before driving.
OR by doing this script:
- you run TT
- start the script and it would:
1. press start
2. press left softkey
3. return focus to TT
try all above options first, if nothing I can write you this script.
