SwitchIT 0.4 (BlueTooth Switch v2.51) here - upd 23.03.2005

Hi again,
after some longer time, i had again time to play with my tool.
...and here is the new version!
Completely rewritten, it has a new name, it supports Infrared/BT Incoming Beams controlling, and of course Micro$oft's Bluetooth.
I decided to split it into two parts. One is the SwitchIT application itself, and another one is a pocket pc service (WatchIT) for constantly watching Bluetooth and Obex status and displaying notifications. It was needed because if you turned BT on/off with another application/control panel, there was no notification.
At the moment I'm posting "prerelease 4" version of SwitchIT app for TESTING and COMMENTING (WatchIT service is not included yet).
That means it is more or less finished, however you'll not get any notifications at the moment.
I will post complete version (WatchIT service included) within next days.
Please do some comments on the "prerelease 3 version", so I can improve it, if needed.

Hi all,
here's my little BT ON/OFF switch application for all devices using Micro$oft bluetooth stack.
It is the simpliest app in the world, however I was missing it too much, coz I was forced to use stylus or finger to switch BT On/Off.
Now once you install this, all you need to do is to assign it to HW button and that's it.
Turning BT On or Off with a HW button press.
No more picking up the stylus and going through the menus etc...

Latest version 23.03.2005 ver 0.0.0.4 fixed for button mapping
This is a "prerelease 4" version for testing.
Renamed the app to "SwitchIT".
Supports Obex controlling (incoming beams - IR/BT).
All in one .exe again.
No notifications in this test version.
Command line arguments:
bon -> BT on
bof -> BT off
bds -> BT discoverable
bsw -> BT switch (ON/OFF)
bsd -> BT switch (Discoverable/Off)
oon -> OBEX on (Incoming BT/IR beams)
oof -> OBEX off (Incoming BT/IR beams)
osw -> OBEX Switch (ON/OFF)
no/unknown cmdline argument -> ?? guess what... ))
Latest prod. version 25.02.2005 ver 2.51
Nicer icons.
Different icons for each mode.
Some error handling.
Older Versions
Update 24.02.2005 ver 2.5
OK, so here it is again, with bubble notification...
However, i should probably redesign the discoverable icon, coz i don't like it...
Update 23.02.2005 ver 2.0
It takes now following command line arguments:
bon (for BTH on)
bof (for BTH off)
bds (for BTH discoverable)
If there is no argument, it works as before:
If BT is Off, then BT On
If BT is On, then BT Off
You can find the shortcuts in Start -> Programs -> Bluetooth Switch
Then use some button mapper, like NightmarE wrote below:

Thank you!
Thanks Buzz, great little tool!

Thanks for your useful tool. It works well in my XDA Mini. Can you develop one more simple app: turn on/off "receive all incoming beams" function?

Don't get me wrong I would love to have another utility, I specially like the idea of having it as a shortcut on the pocket Plus.

Thanks for your considering, Buzz!
I dont think reboot is needed. Usually, I turn off "Receive all incoming beams" to save power, and then someone wants to send some files to my PPC via infra port. I have to turn "Receive all incoming beams" on by tap Start Menu\Settings\Connections\Beam->tap "Receive all incoming beams" check box. After that, evrybody can send to my ppc via infra port without soft reset my ppc. How do you think?
Yes, it is great if your small app supports command-lines
BT_tool.exe OFF -> Bluetooth off
BT_tool.exe ON -> Bluetooth on
BT_tool.exe DIS -> Discoverable
(And maybe, it has more??? )
BT_tool.exe INF -> Allow receive all incoming beams
BT_tool.exe INF0 -> Not allow receive all incoming beams)
Well, dont worry about some ButtonMapper doesnt support command-lines because we can make a shortcut file (*.lnk) to command-lines into it.

@Pocket Me
..i tried it 2day... sent .vcf over IR, then disabled incomming beams and i was able to receive it again...
but anyway, i will do it... 4U... ;o)
one app, which will take parameter + couple of shortcuts for each param...

ok i think u can make commandlines by shortcuts? if it can so the vito mapper may assigned

Thanks Buzz,
Much needed tool, Great to hear that commandline features are coming up
Keep up the good work

ok gyus,
thanx for ideas...
i will do it this way:
1. it will take all those parameters
2. if run without any parameter, it will work just the same as now...

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).

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.....

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.

Autolock

Hello,
I am looking for a program that automatically locks my touch pro as soon as I put it in standy, with the on/off button. Because normally my phone is on vibrate and when I take him out of my pocket again it has typed text messages, called people etc etc.
Thanks!
Bob

Search for S2U2, Pocketshield, Throttle Lock, Touch Pro Lock... There are plenty of these programs on XDA.

You can also use AdvancedConfig to enable autolock if you don't want to install any 3rd party software.

I hate to report that yes, you are lol. It's under the "Screen" set of options in Advanced Config. Once you enable it, it's exactly wat ur looking for, no need for other battery draining 3rd party apps lol

since this thread is already started, i didn't want to start another one. does anyone know of any way (like tweak) to prevent the built-in autolock feature from minimizing all programs? for example, i'll be on opera, have to get sumwhere quickly so I press the power button to put on standby and enable the autolock, and when I turn teh screen back on, the TF3D Home screen is showing, and opera will be minimized. can get pretty annoying if ur in the middle of doing something important on the phone lol

Whew!! I thought I was going nuts. I was sure that it was not there. I was using NATF's 2.2 ROM and installed ADV config 3.3. There was not an auto lock option. However, this week I flashed to RRE's v4.4 ROM which has adv config preinstalled and there is an option for Auto Lock and to set the delay. I am pretty sure that they were both version 3.3 so i am not sure what happenend.
Oh well. It is there now.
cj

i am using pdacorner rom v17, and in advcfg, there isn't any autolock, in screen, What should i do

In ACT 3.3.0.0 under Screen, the 4th item is called "Auto device lock". Put it in Enable and you have what you want

I'm not seeing the option for 'Auto Device Lock' either, and I'm running Advanced Config 3.3.0.0 as well.

I have downloaded advanced config 3.3 from schaps and it does not give me the option to set the autolock either. I have also used a version packaged with RRE's 4.4 ROM and that did have the option. So I must be doing something wrong but i am not sure what.
But if you want to set it you can always try Diamond Tweak. that gives you the autolock option also.
Hope this helps
cj

Yes, thanks very much for the tip about Diamond Tweak. That worked perfect.

The only problem with this autolock feature is that it's still pretty easy to answer a call inadvertently. Ohter screen locks make it more difficult to answer a call by accident.

I can't get AutoLock Screen v 1.7 to start... I've installed it, soft-reset, made the settings, pressing the "Cancel" button...
...and my OMNIA is getting locked with the "traditional" way, the left bottom button "Locked" appearing and if I'm pressing it another button in the middle of the screen appears.
WHERE IS THE BLOODY AutoLock Screen v 1.7??? Why doesn't starts?

Windows Mobile 6.5 - Lock Screen is slow

Hi,
I have installed the latest WM6.5 Build 21725 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513605) on my HTC Touch Pro.
But I have a problem (which occurs on all tested roms) with the lock screen: I lock the device. The lock screen appears fast and is immediately responsible. But when I go to suspend mode (by waiting or pressing the power key) and then let wake up the device, I have always to wait a lot of time until the lock screen is responsible to unlock the device. This is very annoying and I want to fix that "bug". Can anybody help me?

Same here. And does anyone know how to remap one of the softkeys to lock the screen? Instead of have to push start >> lock?

i had this with a 6.5 rom
what i did was after i turn backlight on i quickly press the hangup buttton and then the slide works fine
this may have to do until the rom becomes more stable

Thanks for your tip, but it doesn't work

Sorry this was gibberish

then im sorry i cant help
all i can do is ask youve tried this on a 6.1 based rom

this is a knowing trouble because of the beta
Hey pilot... this is a real kick on the ass cause nobody answer this many times users needs a third party app to lock their devices... i didnt lock my device... i just turn it off and disable all the buttons you see... its like a locked simply and crapy phone function.

well i know it looks good que but the problem i had was after a while in standby the buttton would shift to any side however i know the phone wasnt crashed due to the little arrow animatiuons kept going as normal all i did was tap the phone down button and then it worked as it should mind you this was davie ducks v8 on the hd

I figured out that the lock screen is immediately responsible if you set a password. But I don't want to slide AND then type a password

just slide the time bar at the below screen before slide the lock :| i got this bug after upgrading into a 6.5 rom :| now it's done by myself :">

remember at the time of the OPs question 6.5 was very buggy
a lot of the latest releases are a lot better

Laggy
I also have this laggy problem when clicking the right key to bring up unlock screen, takes a while for the unlock screen to appear.
Was looking at ThrottleLock which looks good, but not compatible with 6.5.
I hate iphones so don't want S2U2 !!
Looking forward to update

Correction
Correction, just tried an older version of throttlelock app 0.6, and it works with windows mobile 6.5

Is there some way to just turn the lock screen off? I hate how slow it is on my backup phone, an LG KS20

You may have it in settings-personal, if not, go to HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\lockscreen, and change 'enable' from 1 to 0. Then, you'll have to old-style lockscreen. If you want to see the lockscreen settings applet, then change 'ShowLockScreenPicker' from 0 to 1. You may need to soft reset (but you may not).

Thanks Ted! Works perfectly, for some reason the Lock Screen settings applet won't show, but that's not important as the first registry key solves my problem.

Yeah one way is to set back original WM5x/6/6.1 LockScreen but I have solved it another way... Maybe you have noticed that the new WM6.5 lock screen has delay ONLY on first run so what about put a shortcut to "\Windows\Startup" to lock device on startup (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJDeviceLock - working also with WM6.5)? I mostly don't need to use the device in first seconds after startup so everything necessary can load to memory and then after unlocking my device is everything relatively fast ;-) BTW you can set lockings with tool named Smart Lock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032).

I mostly don't need to use the device in first seconds after startup so everything necessary can load to memory and then after unlocking my device is everything relatively fast ;-) BTW you can set lockings with tool named Smart Lock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032).

The problem with the 6.5 lockscreen is that it kills gwes.exe (at least in my experience). Do a soft reset, open up a task manager and look at gwes.exe. With dotfred's, I'll start at maybe 15 MB, and as soon as I open the lockscreen (I get the delay, too), the gwes usage jumps by about 6 MB, and none of the ram is released. It makes my device buggy over time. Gwes.exe is bloated enough with 6.5.3 roms, you really don't need the lockscreen killing it like that.
I don't know if it's an issue on a stock rom, but the cooked ones have problems. In the 6.5 cooking thread, Da_G said a while ago that it had to do with how most kitchens compile roms. They compress all files the same way, and ignore flags in the dsm's that say whether or not a file should be compressed. He's said that cooking an uncompressed rom fixes the problem. I've tried making a cab of the lockscreen and running it that way, but I still get the initial delay and the 6 MB ram-tax on gwes.exe, so whatever is breaking the lockscreen during cooking because of the forced compression isn't in the lockscreen packages. Anyway, the lockscreen is cool, but I personally hate what it does to gwes.exe, so I don't use it.

What your saying about cooked vs. stock is likely correct, as I had briefly owned an HTC Pure (ATT branded Diamond 2), which shipped with 6.5, and there were absolutely no delays with the lock screen. On the other hand, I still haven't flashed 6.5 onto my X1, so I don't know if its just that my LG can't handle the lockscreen with its 400mhz qualcomm.

[APP] Another Locker - HtcExtFun 2.0.0.1

This is locker (screen and sometimes buttons) what i have made for myself.
It's alternative for S2U2 and windows screen lock.
Main features:
1. Lock screen and keys on wake up, but only when ambient light level low
2. Lock screen when any phone activity (dialing, talking, incoming call offering). Because proximity sensor works not very good.
3. Quick unlock without slide using double click on hardware Back button
4. Quick power off after resume if not unlocked
5. Adapted for Inesoft Phone (greate app for me because of customizing contact rings and custom names for phone fields of contacts)
Additional features:
1. Reminders for missed calls, unread sms messages
2. Screen off after call connected
3. Vibrate alerting during the call: connected, n-th second of talking
4. Alternative sms alerting (used by me for setup once and did not setup again after reflash
5. SMS patch utility replace of Zenyee disable Htc Messaging (white form appears on the screen for short time nervous me)
6. Auto redial if call dialing failed
7. Changing keyboard when stylus in/out (yep, i know that HD2 does not have stylus)
8. Simulate stylus out event for unlocking S2U2 with double click on hardware button Back
Disadvantages
1. Settings changed only through registry
2. Minimalistic interface
Advantages
1. First stable build of this utility with good CAB install and uninstall (hope for this)
2. Changed for best (for me) locking of the phone
3. Native code only (I like managed code, but it's speed periodically sucks for small apps)
Install
1. Install attached CAB
2. Settings described in readme.txt file in installed directory (default is \Program Files\HtcExtFun)
Hints
1. This tool can not lock Answer and End hardware keys in call (i don't know hot to apply this and don't want to do this)
Will be interest for your feedback!

A pity none has still posted his feedback, so let me be the first.
1- great app: i use version 0.2 since a long time with great satisfaction (and now that Leo roms disables transcriber in SipMenu, HtcExtFun is the only way to recall it)
2- What did work in old version seems to work well in this one as well (i used only stylus in/out and missed calls/sms reminder)
3- On my device the new screen lock doesn't work. Maybe it's because i have a Blackstone and not a Leo? Anyway i run Manila 2.5.1921 (as Leo), and on resume after suspend the "screen locked" square is there. But not only i can normally use my screen (i can swipe across Manila tabs without problems), but trying to slide the slider nothing happens: the square is still there, the cursor doesn't move. It's a pity, because this was a great improvement (it works with the back double tap, but it's the only way [and i don't like it, since when in my pocket i often press keys]).
4- It's useless i post a screenshot since what appears is the same as in yours
5- Can i suggest you to post your app in "Dev&Hacking" forum? I never read this one since i don't have a Leo, and so only for chance did find you released a new improved version.
6- There are some undocumented reg values:
* HandleSmsPatch
* MaximizeVolumeTime
* LSensorOffValue (i suppose it's for light sensor?)
7- You have not documented that "ScreenLockWhenResumePowerOff"=dword:00000000 disables the poweroff timeout
8- A thing i don't like is that app add itself missing registry keys filling them with standard values. So i, on purpose, didn't add the AlertNewSmsScript and AlertNewSmsSound, but at first start the app did add them to registry.
9- For your records, this is my reg config:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HtcExtFun]
"HandleSmsPatch"=dword:00000000
"ScreenLockWhenResumePowerOff"=dword:00002710

"AlertBatteryLevel"=dword:00000000

Sadly i have to edit my previous 2). Sms/missed call reminder doesn't work with this new version: no sound at all. So i switched back to 0.2

Nice!
Maybe you can help us here?

Hi exidler,
I just tried your soft, which was cool but not the soft-locker I want.
So I wanted to unsintall ... damn! It doesn't work.
Whenever I try, I got that error message "can't register touch driver" (a window titled HtcExtFun Unsintall).
I try after deleting the startup link, and a softreset, so that the exe wasn't running ..
How can I proceed ?
Thank you in advance.

I'm in the same case. I've already deleted all the corresponding keys in the reg but nothing else to do. I'm still stuck with that problem. And no way to reinstall it.
Edit : I used SK Tools software to clean all the registry and unused folders, and now it works.
