lightweigth phonecanvas

[GlemSom]

I really like the idea of having a "slide to answer" phonecanvas - so one don't by accident ignore or answer the phone.

Sadly though, what I've tried - it seems WAAAY to slow.
If I get an incomming call, the phone starts to light up... then showing the canvas...
If I then put my finger on the slider, and start sliding - nothing happends for the first second... I need to let it "load" the slider completly - and then it's ready for sliding..

all in all - this whole procedure takes so long - the phone might return to the answeringmachine... :(

So, I'm wondering if there's any lightweight "slide to answer" canvas'es out there - that work on the Diamond?

You must have some serious problems with your phone. Canvas is working, and is working normally, i.e. without any delays and such. I recommend flashing some other rom with slide answer ans trying it yourself. For good measure you could backup your data and clean the storage too...

I've tried a few WM 6.5 ROMS, but that ALL have the same sluggish behavior.

Currently I'm using my own WM 6.5 from the GSM kitchen - which seems really fast in all programs - but still a bit slow when loading the phone canvas... and the slider :(
Manilla is for example working REALLY fast - close to no delay at all (That I can notice anyway)

It's like the phone has a lot to do when there's an incoming call... Like it has to startup alot of software?

Maybe someone has a video of how fast the phone is - when there's an incoming call?

I've tried upgrading my radio aswell - but that didn't make any difference.

HTC Phone Canvas or Tachi are slower on 6.5 ROMS. Try it on 6.1, you will note the diference.

EDIT: If you don't use video call it is better to use default winmo 6.5 with some tweak to lock you device by default. Or use it with S2U2.

That's my advice, too!



Disable the HTC PhoneCanvas through Registry and use S2U2 with the Slide to answer option instead! It's way faster then HTC Slide to answer!

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
"Enabled"=dword:0

Ok, I just gave S2U - and I must admit - it's WAAAAAY better! :P

I disabled the HTC canvas using the registry fix...
Sadly the Windows answer-canvas will pop-up just before the S2U (will only be visible for under half a second...) Is there any way to completly disable the Windows answer canvas - and ONLY use the S2U?

Iconsoft Phone Extension (PhonEx) is the best phone dialer (for me), but it is not free :(
It also has some kind of slide to answer but in UP direction.

No, that's (currently) not possible! :(

I think in S2U2 settings you have something like "On wake up delay start of S2U2". The value is in ms. It's set to 500 by default i think. I didn't experiment with this, but try to set it to a lower value. It just might make the default windosw answer screen "invisible" ..

No, it won't simply start instead. ;)

Well wierd. I had it set to 300ms, and you could se the windows answer notification for...well, around 0,3 sec. Then i set it to OFF, and if my eyes arent cheating me, it shows up faster. The windows notification just blinks once under s2u2, and that's it..
