- Updated Russian (thanks to Vadim Bogaiskov) and Dutch translations (thanks to myself ;-) for BattConfig and TouchLockAction.
- Visual feedback if a button is pressed
- Do not do !SCREENON at end call when lock(suspend) command or bluetooth is active
- Some commands are now also executed when not power on/screen on (lockscreen, locksuspend, suspend) to achieve the previous point
- When multiple commands are specified, make sure to execute them via a request,so events related to a previous command are effected already (e.g. screen off).
- Fixed problem that multiple commands where only executed the first time (e.g. Proximity disable/ignore problems)
- Fixed possible problem that multiple commands could mean that an earlier one was not executed/overwritten

Version 2.12.3 (25-2-2010) for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones, *NEW* Proximity sensor support for Samsung and HTC having proximity sensor
- Added command !PROXIMITYIGNORE, so the Proximity sensor keeps in the state it was, for other applications. TouchLockPro wil not react anymore, till !PROXIMITYACCEPT command is used.
- Added command !PROXIMITYACCEPT, so Proximity commands are accepted from then on.

Changed the defaults for better use of Proximity (note that those will only be overruled if not already set or by reset to defaults):
- Proximity Sensor Time (ProximitySensorTime = 700)
- Near (CmdProximityNear = "!SUSPEND")
- Not Near (CmdProximityNotNear = "!UNLOCK")

New settings:
- Lock (CmdLock = "!PROXIMITYACCEPT")
- Unlock Call (CmdUnlockCall = "!PROXIMITYIGNORE")
- Unlock No Call (CmdUnlockNoCall = "!PROXIMITYDISABLE")

Incorporated BattClock 1.9 improvements:

Show Battery percentage, temperature and Current above the top bar.
- Possibly to show the info in columns instead of rows (option Divide Horizontally)
- Added option to show Battery Temperature (updated once per minute)
- Added option to show Battery Current in mA (updated once per second), great to see power consumption
- Show CPU also if it getidletime is greater than 100

Version 2.10.2 (4-1-2010) for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones, *NEW* with Samsung SDK compatible Light Sensor and GSensor support

• Solved bug that FaceUp and FaceDown were reversed for Samsung SDK GSensor. Z-axis is positive going into the screen, while HTC has this negative
• Change % into ~ when on (USB) power, to indicate in the BattClock when it is charging
• Added Italian translations
• Let the default minimum light be 9 lux for Samsung phones, otherwise it unlocks too easy

• Solved bug that light sensor was not working on Samsung SDK compatible phones

Version 2.10 (1-1-2010) for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones, *NEW* with Samsung SDK compatible Light Sensor and GSensor support

• Added support for Samsung SDK compatible phones, G-Sensor and Light Sensor. Samsung Windows Mobile SDK 1.2.1 or 2.1.0 are now supported! Just install also the appropriate Samsung SDK (see downloads)
• Samsung SDK compatible (SGH-i900 Omnia, SCH-i910 Omnia, GT-I8000 Omnia 2, SCH-m490/m495 T*Omnia, Omnia Pro, GT-B7620 Armani, GT-I8000 Omnia II, SCH-i920 Omnia II), Sensors: Light Sensor, GSensor
• TouchLockPro tries to identify your phone type now automatically and disables not available sensors
• I discovered that the HTCSmartTouchDll window is also available on Diamond and Touch Pro, so now I only subclass for ZoomBar when PhoneType is Diamond2 or Touch Pro2
• Added PhoneType configuration possibility in Index Settings screen, best is to first select your PhoneType before changing other settings and soft reset after changing your phone type and settings.
• Added BootDelay registry key, if you want to change it, you need to do that via the registry, but be sure to know what you are doing. Default it is 60000 (60 seconds)

Version 2.9 (17-12-2009) for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones, *NEW* ZoomBar unlock
Thanks to Cobaltikus for providing the solution!

• Added ZoomBar unlock for Touch Diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2
• Slide the Zoombar left or right to unlock
• Triple touch the Zoombar to unlock, if you want different behaviour, change CapacitiveTouchesSequence (CapacitiveTouchesSequence = 222)

Version 2.8.2 (09-11-2009) for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones

• Solved InCallTweak related bug
• Create new log file, when no debug logging, instead of appending
• Solved problem of screen off after call ended (InCallTweak related)
• Lock already at power off when AutoLockOnPowerOn = 1 and HTCLOCKAPI = 0 is used
• Reintroduce and fixed Screen Off to Screen On, which was disabled in 2.8.1
• Delayed Power On to Screen On when possible, so when the phone awakes without screen on (e.g. checking mail), no extra CPU is used by TouchLockPro which saves a bit power
• Made it possible to use HTCLOCKAPI = 1 in general and only at incoming call lock keys only with the general keyboard hook
• Improved HTCLockAPIWhenBluetoothActive
• Made Bluetooth status detection event driven instead of polling on need and added debug logging for state changes

Version 2.8.1 (28-10-2009) now with improved GSENSOR and for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones

• Made HTCLockAPIWhenBluetoothActive = 0 the default, so only the people who want to answer with the bluetooth answer button can enable it.
• Disabled feature, till further investigated: change from screen off to screen on as power on and lock appropriate

Version 2.8 (27-10-2009) now with improved GSENSOR and for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones

• Also see change from screen off to screen on as power on and lock appropriate, so when not going into a deep sleep and screen goes on, it will lock appropriate.
• InCallTweak: also screenoff when reverselandscape is detected
• Added setting HTCLockAPIWhenBluetoothActive to use HTCLockAPI when bluetooth is active, so you can use the general keyboard hook locking method when no bluetooth is active.
• Improved GSENSOR
• Compute orientation instead of using the HTC orientation field for better accuracy
• Poll GSENSOR now once per 100 ms for greater sensitivity
• At boot also open GSENSOR (only after first power off GSENSOR was activated)
• Closing the GSENSOR when going to deep sleep (and setting the orientation to unknown)
• Start/stop the GSENSOR service
• added GSENSOR debug logging to GSENSOR Settings screen when debug is on

Version 2.7.6 (06-10-2009) now with InCallTweak and for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones

• Added !IDLE command
• SUSPEND problem: request immediately deep sleep (POWER_STATE_SUSPEND) instead of screen off (POWER_STATE_IDLE)
• Added InCallTweak option instead of ScreenOffWhenConnected: GSENSOR portrait: screen off, otherwise screen on
• Redo screen off with above option, when backlight goes on again
• !BACKLIGHTOFF and !SCREENOFF do no longer by default !KEEPALIVEON, to avoid unintended battery drainage
• Changed NavSensor settings to execute !KEEPALIVEON with !BACKLIGHTOFF and !SCREENON (old behaviour, to correct above change)

More detailed info of the changes can be found here.

Great job!

My only (stupid?) concern is that by using your (otherwise nice) "BattClock" we miss custom battery indicators.

You will say that, then we should disable this. But then (a) you still get it when device is locked (why we HAVE to see the valid taps after we get used to them?) and (b) you have one less method to lock the device from the very few: just two - i.e. one left.

This comes to the second thing. Why not also lock it with other method?
I can think of: (a) Touching the capacitive area one right, one middle (action button), one left.... in fact you could even UNLOCK by doing the opposite. (b) Using some program shortcut (for some of us is enough to lock the device by running a shortcut in TF3D or some today manager like SPB Pocket Plus or even changing a default action in TF3D via SSMaPa)...

The best way would be to still use the area of the battclock but WITHOUT changing whatever the user has there (is there such a thing like a transparent window?)...

Another way would be to auto-lock after some timeout (which in fact is also the most common method among smartphones too) or configurable if the power button is pressed.

For example in my case pressing the power button to sleep the device exactly means I don't want the screen functioning (so lock it if something else turns it on - like a call), while if I leave the device to sleep by timeout, I probably mean I have it on my desk and don't care or need to lock it.

Sorry for the brainstorm, I hope it gives you some ideas.

Seems to be working fine so far....but I have one problem;
I'm using wisbar so your battery indicator does not show on the screen when the phone is unlocked. This means I have to lock the phone by using the stylus. The indicator does however appear when the phone is locked.

Is there no way to correct this, or make a shortcut for locking instead?

 

[at10ti0n]

can i set this app to only lock the screen on incomming phone call and unlock it by tapping 3 times on the capacitive area?

something like the answerkeys disabler did before uninstalling...

 

[ZuinigeRijder]

Great job!

My only (stupid?) concern is that by using your (otherwise nice) "BattClock" we miss custom battery indicators.

You can position the BattClock over the Windows Start logo, at the left side of the Start bar. You can still go to Programs, just by pressing the Start text then.

You will say that, then we should disable this. But then (a) you still get it when device is locked (why we HAVE to see the valid taps after we get used to them?) and (b) you have one less method to lock the device from the very few: just two - i.e. one left.

Yes, the BattClock must be visible AND have focus to get the capacitive touches. So moving to another position is the only option, if you want to use the triple touches approach to unlock.

This comes to the second thing. Why not also lock it with other method?
I can think of: (a) Touching the capacitive area one right, one middle (action button), one left.... in fact you could even UNLOCK by doing the opposite. (b) Using some program shortcut (for some of us is enough to lock the device by running a shortcut in TF3D or some today manager like SPB Pocket Plus or even changing a default action in TF3D via SSMaPa)...

I can only get keyboard/sensitive touches when my battClock has focus. And when there is another program in front, I cannot get them.

I am working on an Action screen addin for TouchLockPro. It will be activated by pressing the BattClock OR you can start the program by a shortcut, because it is a separate program. But be patient, working on that......I even want it possible by other programs to lock the device, just by writing some registry key.

The best way would be to still use the area of the battclock but WITHOUT changing whatever the user has there (is there such a thing like a transparent window?)...

To my knowledge, there is no real transparant window possible, you can just not draw the background. But the underlying windows will not update. Or does someone know this is possible?

Another way would be to auto-lock after some timeout (which in fact is also the most common method among smartphones too) or configurable if the power button is pressed.

For example in my case pressing the power button to sleep the device exactly means I don't want the screen functioning (so lock it if something else turns it on - like a call), while if I leave the device to sleep by timeout, I probably mean I have it on my desk and don't care or need to lock it.

Sorry for the brainstorm, I hope it gives you some ideas.

That would be something for my new Action screen program. I will think about your suggestions. Thansk for the ideas and comments.

flickering clock white/black

Hey ZuinigeRijder!!

thanxx again for your new app TouchLockPro 1.0!!

so far I have it on my diamond it's working ok, but I noticed one thing...when my screen is on standby f.e. see my clock etc...I saw that the clock/batt indicator is contantly flickering white/black....just like it's locked...unlocked....locked...unlocked...

Do you know what I mean or do I have to be more specific??
Maybe you did it on purpose....

Just wanted to report it to you...neways... thanxx man!!

You rule!

I do not know wisbar, but apparently this is a FullScreen app, so the BattClock will not be visible.

As written as answer in my previous post:
I can only get keyboard/sensitive touches when my battClock has focus. And when there is another program in front, I cannot get them. This cause me also some serious thinking, how to solve this. I found a method, as described here:

That is one of the magic tricks I needed to do, to get the focus to the BattClock, for getting the capacitive touches. I will only get those events, when a Form is in the foreground. And that is normally another application

When e.g. an incoming call is coming in, it will get the focus, because that is the foreground application. Or if you have a Full Screen application, the BattClock will even not be visible. But I discovered, when I make a Child Window at the start-bar as WS_POPUP, it will get focus, when created.

But damned, it will not keep focus, if another application regains focus

So how to solve this problem

The only solution, I could think of, was regularly recreate the WS_POPUP child window, and in between I switch back to another BattClock. At the same time, this 'flashing' indicates the system is accepting capacitive touches. So 4 seconds we have the WS_POPUP BattClock and 1 second the 'normal' BattClock. So actually I switch between 2 clocks.

Unfortunately not (yet).
I did not yet included specific code for detecting incoming calls, I just made a generic solution. But it might be something for the future.......

I think more people would like a general solution to distinguish when they press themselves the power button to awake the phone and when this is done by an application. For the latter, they would like it locked, on their initiative, they would like it automatically unlocked.

But still, in your pocket you can also accidently press the Power button, although less likely. But of sure you never want missed calls!

So I will think about it......

Right! Well....I also see that actually the device itself stays locked, so I'm not so worried.....

on the other hand...I can imagine you would like to solve tis problem just like it was on StylusLock v1.6, because that one didn't had that issue...

To be honest...I really would like to help you, but I don't know how...I don't have any programming experience, so i'm sorry man

n e way...if I can help you with something else...please let me know!

Cheers

[NLS]

ok something else then

since this small window is the trick to make it work, I wonder (sorry I could probably find my self, but haven't installed yet) if we could just move the whole rectangle to... the BOTTOM bar (!), just left of the keyboard icon!

also change the battclock to a small lock (locked and unlocked) now THAT would make great sense AND not mess with our customisations

 

[4D3]

this looks nice, stylus lock 1.6 was impressive, i cant wait to try this!!

flashing a new rom tonight, ill be sure to install this first!!

thanks

 

[schluff1]

Thanks for this great app!

One thing: When phone goes to suspend, approximately in the next 20 seconds i cant turn the screen on by pressing the power button. Only stylus-out turns the screen on. After 20 seconds everything runs fine.

Furthermore an option to also lock the phone when the screen switches off by pressing the power button would be very nice.

I second That

 

[gtpete]

seems like a good alternative to S2U2. although i dont know what this does that is better than S2U2.
