S2U2 2.33 – slide to lock app for windows phone

17 Mar,2010 0 Comments by . Saijo.

S2U2

S2U2 (Slide2Unlock2) is a simple lock/unlock application which has the iPhone style slide unlocking. It can be used as a screensaver while you don’t use your device. And it’s has a CallerID function (but some devices may not work, so please try it first); S2P control plugin; and volume control.

Prerequisite:
- WM5 Phone or WM6/6.1/6.5 Professional devices
- free RAM: at least 1M for QVGA/WQVGA; 4M for VGA/WVGA
- free storage space: at least 2M for QVGA/WQVGA; 4M for VGA/WVGA

Changes of v2.33
- changed the “slide to dismiss/cancel” option to the right-hand-side of the slider so as to synchronize with the OS.
(Sorry for the confusion caused so far)
- added option to lock all message/notification/task preview when “Lock System Notification” is on (S2U2 Settings > General).
- added option to auto snooze an active alarm when power off (S2U2 Settings > General).
- added “slide to snooze” when an alarm/reminder is shown on the lock screen (“Lock System Notification” must be on).
- added option to shuffle the password keypad (S2U2 Settings > Password).
- extended the “Lock on Talk” to lock the dialing screen if CallerID is enabled.
- added support to the proximity sensor of HD2 (probably also Pro2):
1) when the device is locked, turn the device off if the proximity sensor is blocked (S2U2 Settings > Power).
2) when the device wakes up, unlock the device if the proximity sensor is not blocked (S2U2 Settings > Power).
* the auto lock/unlock will be temporarily disabled if there is a message prompt (e.g. Alarm/SMS) shown on the lock screen.
- added option to show current weather info if weather info is shown from Pocket Weather / TouchFLO 2D / TouchFLO 3D (S2U2 Settings > Information). If you want to know why other weather applications are not supported yet, read the FAQ.
- added option to cache each frame of a GIF wallpaper by device memory (S2U2 Settings > Wallpaper).
This option reduces the memory usage of S2U2 when uses a GIF wallpaper; it loads faster & capable to load very large GIF file (depends on how many free device main memory is left). But it also consumes the device main memory; lesser smooth animation; & definitely consumes more battery.
- added option to toggle the system volume (“slide to ringer/vibrate”) when the slider is positioned at center (S2U2 Settings > Appearance).
- added option to change the sliding text size (S2U2 Settings > Appearance).
- added option to lock/unlock when the device is connected to a cradle (S2U2 Settings > Others).
- added option to not to lock the HTC long End key press (S2U2 Settings > Advanced).
- added a small music icon on the system bar to be shown if any one of the following music applications is running:
S2P, TouchFLO 2D/3D Music Player, Windows Media Player, MortPlayer, Pocket Music, Pocket Player & Nitrogen.
So if you suspect S2U2 is draining the power, check if a music icon is shown on the top system bar. When either one of these music applications is running, S2U2 will not turn off the power, but only turn off the screen.
- some minor bugs fixed.

MIX10 : No copy paste on Windows Phone 7 Series during Launch

copy-paste-windows-mobile

This just in from engadget
Microsoft just mentioned in a Q&A session here at MIX10 in no uncertain terms that clipboard operations won’t be supported on Windows Phone 7 Series
It is possible that copy paste might come later as an upgrade to the OS, but for the version of the OS that will be shipped during the holidays ( the launch of WP7 ) , its said not to have copy paste. That is more more thing that we can add to the CONS of Windows Phone7.

As far as I am concerned copy paste is an integral part in my day to day use of the phone and its a must have feature and should be supported from day one. If people were undecided about WP7, I am guessing this will be the last straw. Here is a sentence I though I would never have to say ” the iPhone has Copy Paste and yet ~~Windows Mobile~~ Windows Phone 7 don’t !!!! “. Are you still interested in Windows Phone7 Series ?
