Kholk mentioned his HD2's hardware buttons didn't work, and we looked into the possibility of waking the device by shaking it. This utility creates a message queue and monitors power notifications. When the device is suspended, this application is put in unattended mode allowing it to continue running. Also the GSensor is requested to stay awake so it can remain to be polled. A few hours of coding resulted in the attached application. Credits go to mligor for this port and OpenNETCF for a good example of creating a message queue in managed code.
The application has no user interface, just start it, suspend ur device by hitting the power button, and shake it to see if it turns on. I don't know the exact impact of this on the battery drain, so I would suggest killing the process or performing a softreset after you've seen the show ;D


Update (06-01-2010): I've added a native version, I think this will perform a little better. It could also be a bit easier on battery drain. Source code also attached.
Update (07-01-2010): added my own installer (with start menu shortcut, source code left out, and updated program). Soft-reset before installing this. This version also prevents multiple instances of the program to be running, causing only extra battery drain.
Update (09-01-2010): fixed two bugs, should now be stable!

It would be very useful program if you could add proximity sensor instead of gsensor.
But its first step to something :)

Unfortunately for me, it works for the first two wakes, then it stops working.
Anyone experienced the same issue?

EDIT: Strange. Now it works ^^

It's would be better to add proximity sensor. Keep the shake to wake up, but add proximity sensor. This way, if the phone is shaked, but in the pocket, he will not wake up :) Take the both for more efficacity :) isn't?

Hi there,

are you able to add a function shake to lock like the bug in hdwobble?

Shake2Lock&Shake2Unlock would be a nice thing.

I'm not aware of hdwobble and without extensive configuration options for this program I don't see how this would be a useful feature. This was mainly a proof of concept and the native version was a simple exercise for me as I hadn't written a native app for winmo before, so I don't really have plans to extend it further. Source code is provided for those who are interested in adding features or changing stuff such as sensitivity etc. or adding a GUI but I wasn't planning on doing so. If I update this code again it will only be a commented version of the current source. Sorry.
