I can't use voice dialer when S2U2 locks phone, is there a way around this? I like the S2U2 application, but when I am driving and need to make a phone call via bluetooth handfree I can't, because s2u2 block the voice dialer.
I did look for a solutions via the search engine and in the s2u2 thread, but no luck thus far.
which device?
which ROM?
which voice dial app?

Thanks for your response,
HTC 8925 (Tilt)
Dutty's Touch AT&t beta 2
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial V1.2 build 070626
The newest version of S2U2 v0.95 offers a solution to this problem by adding the ability to use exceptions to temporarily disable S2U2.
1) Install the new version.
2) Run iLock2 to close the application.
3) Use a registry editor:
Under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2, find an open ExceptionEXE(0-9) (STRING). I used ExceptionEXE3. Enter the value: "SDDialer.exe" (this is the application that runs when you press the button on your bluetooth headset).
4) Run iLock2 to restart the application and you're done.
Thanks to tompol for discovering this solution. I first tried it by entering the value: "Voice Speed Dial.lnk", but this didn't work.
Hello,
i have another problem with S2U2 on my Kaizer, and i think i created it but cannot get through it. After i did some changes on the S2U2 settings now every time the lock goes on and even if i open the settings i get a black screen and can not do anything. If i press the power on button to turn off the screen and then on, i get the S2U2 screen but frozen, with out any animation! I have tried to remove and re-install the application but i get the same response from the program. Could someone give me some help, because i really like the application but can not use it...
TIA,
Nikos.

did you turn on the directdraw option or safe mode option?
When you uninstall an app, it leaves behind the registry entries. As soon as you reinstall the app, those settings are in affecct again. Uninstall the app, use a registry editor to remove the following key, soft reset, then try to reinstall:
The key to remove is HKCU\Software\A_C
Ok, I had the exact same problem, the problem is indeed with D3D option, you need to disable it. As soon as it is off and the settings are saved, the program works fine once again, and smoother then previous version.
This part is gonna be hard to explain... but here it goes...
First thing to do is run ilock so that when u turn the screen off it doesn't start S2U2.
When you open the settings the screen freezes, like the kaiser crashed, but if you move down and you turn the screen off and on, you'll see the menu scrolled down.
Basically that means u're working blind, changes do occur but u can't see, so the process is to move it down, turning the screen off and on sistematically until u see the d3d option and turn it off, then save it.
Hope I explained myself enough.
Takes some work, but doesn't require registry tweaking and other settings are kept.
Keep posted on results.
Cheers, Esko

Thank you both for your fast and details replies!!!
It was indeed the direstdraw option. It was easier for me to try eskostar's method, especially since i had tried the same blind procedure but i did not figure the trick with running the ilock first!!!
Everything worked out great!!! Now i can use this excellent program again!!!
Thank you again!!!
Cheers, Nikos
I have this problem. When I start S2U2 and miss call screen remains as it is when someone call (caller's number and slide to answer or two buttons with green and red phone). Whatever I push or click nothing happens. So I must softreset or turn off and on my Kaiser. Some tips?
Sorry I dont have that issue. However my problem with this version of S2U2 is when SLide to Answer is Active you can still use the Hardware Keys to answer!
Anyone no how to deactivate the Hardware keys during Slide to Answer?

if any of the apps in the exception list are running, not just in the foreground, even if they are running in the background, then [email protected] will not enable. Check your exception list, make sure none of those apps are currently running, then try again. If you still have issues after that, then it's with S2U2, not the exception list.

Very well done.
Apparently Internet Explorer was still running, and as soon as I closed that it ticked off. May consider removing that key, as I don't see why I would need it.

Good deal, glad it worked for you....
when I install S2U2 (i go thru phases where I want it, then phases of "get it off my Tilt") the first thing I do is remove the exception for PIE.
FYI.... Likewise, if you run any of the Cube or TouchFlo variants out there, you will need to put an exception into the TouchFlo settings for S2U2. What happens if you don't is when you try to slide to unlock (or slide to answer) you end up invoking the Cube or TouchFlo, instead of S2U2. Just an FYI for you....
Thanks for the tip. Am still looking into wicked programs so far, only had it two weeks and it's already been through the mod ringer.

that's the way to do it. I've been using PPC devices for years and years and everytime I get a new one, I try every hack, reg edit, tweak, and app possible.
Why is the HTC Dialer very very slow. When i press a number, it takes time to show on the screen. So, i cant dial a number quickly. I need to press every digit individually and wait till it shows on the screen.
Is this normal??
HELP
Hmz dunno, don't have this problem.
Turn the sounds off in the options menu in the Phone application. Set the Keypad to 'Off' and it will speed up. No sounds but much quicker!

Disabling the smart dialing option increases the speed too (especially when you have many contacts stored).
open dialer -> menu -> smart dialing options -> deactivate
Greetz,
Hans Olo
It did speed up my dialer, but still not upto the mark. Isnt there a way to make it even more faster?

Hi:
FWIW, my HTC keypad is very fast. I have both smart dialing and sounds turned on. Maybe you could try a hard reset. Is it possible that something you have installed is somehow affecting the dialers speed?
Hi dudes
I had the same problem but using your tweaks, especially disabling keypad sound, solved it. Thx
Ciao
i have same problem
but when disable sound
still slow
for those of you haveing issues still, did you ever install Vibra? Vibra was an app that allowed the user to quickly change to vibrate but use of a hardware key.
If so, this is the problem, it messes up all the sound settings which in turn causes issues with the dialer response times...
You can also try to disable the dialer theme:
[HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin]
Enabled = 0
Disabling sound solved the issue on my TyTNII, ,even with a quite huge contact database.
Thanks!

I had that problem, and that pesky program does not fix the registry even when you uninstall it. Luckily I had old registry backup and was able to look up the lines it messed with, and recover.
Gotta hate when little cabs like that can break your phone in such a bad way.
Lesson learned - always run registry backup before installing 3rd party apps and even Sprite Backup.
Anyone else got this... Every time i open a message it seems to default to the bottom of the message... i.e. a blank screen. So I have to scroll up to the top of every message i get!
How do i fix this!? its really annoying!
I have the same problem... I think it is rom specific though... I am using WM6.1...Sleuth V3
It's a registry hack issue. Install Kaiser Tweaks and disable the D-Pad scrolling.
If you are using Kaisertweak, make sure you have the D-Pad Scroll Navigation set to default.
fantastic - thanks
when i installed KaiserTweak i basically just put everything onto it's advised setting
Which option is it? I cant find it in KaiserTweak.

In KaiserTweak Collapse all the trees one by one until you get all the way down to PocketIE. In there set D-Pad Scroll Navigation back to Disabled.
AFAIK, this is not a registry problem. in fact all you have to do is to choose the way your messages are arranged
at the right upper corner of the messages application (right below the clock) there is a tab that arranges your message by: Message Type, From, Received, Subject
normally it's ticked to received, but if you hit Received again you will see your messages arranged from the older one you got and the newest is at the bottom... all you have to do is to hit Received again.. And you're done

Hi Guys, Thanks alot. that was really starting to bug me, and I had the feeling that the only way to return it to "normal" would be to hard reset, so just deseleting the D Pad in the Tweak and soft resetting has saved me alot of trouble.
Thanks Again,

Hey guys,
I'm experiencing the same thing with a Helmi AKU 3.5 ROM that I've put on my Universal. I know that KaiserTweak is for the....Kaiser, but I was wondering if anyone knew exactly which registry hack to change to "disable DPad scrolling". I read in one of these posts that it was under the PocketIE settings, and I do know that my PocketIE has been hacked to support "high resolution mode", so maybe this is what is causing my issue (although I've found nothing about the setting in IE itself).
If anyone can enlighten me (probably with a Registry setting), even if you've already 'fixed' your Kaiser, I would appreciate it immensely, as this small issue is slowly driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance all,
-scar
every 2 or 3 days when my alarm sounds i get no onscreen noticfication to dismiss the alarm, only the symbol in the status bar.
When i look into sounds notification/reminders i see the "display message on screen" box is unchecked again so i recheck it.
What causes this to uncheck itself?
are you experiancing this behaviour or have any insight into the cause?
thanks
I have the exact same prob. It started when I used Diamond TF3D Config prog to change the diamond theme.
Dont know why it happens bro.
Anyone knows how to disable Missed Alarm Alert (symbol on the status bar) so I don't need to go to status bar console and remove it every morning ?

I believe i was having this problem before i had installed Diamond TF3D.
The search continues.
Im having the problem on TLR3 ROM and i know people who are also haveing this trouble on 1.37 original ROM and the 1.93 Original.
I'm using TF3D Config and also 1.93 ROM but I don't seem to have this issue?
Although I have never used it to apply a 'theme' only, to change date/time format and apply one of the performance tweaks.
Have you guys updated your TF3D config via apptodate and also tried restoring defaults (within TF3D config) and then tried applying your settings again?
i too only use TF3D config to format the date, i have updated it using apptodate.
I may uninstall it and see what effect that has, im not really sure that TF3D is the cause of the problem.

Had this happen again today, really annoys the wife as i spend time trying get the phone to shut up.
I have made no progress determining the cause, but it does only seem to uncheck the box after a soft reset, but strangley not after every soft reset..... the plot thickens
This problem only happens after i reset the device, but not every time.
As i cant find the cause i was thinking of a way to fix the problem.
i found the reg entry for the reminders show "on screen"
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{15F11F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD}
and i have the values for the box checked and unckecked.
I have been googleing for the past hour but having no luck with what i want to achieve.
I would like to write a batch file to open a reg file that will change the dismiss box registry entry to the checked value, but it seems batch files cannot be run from the windows start up folder.
Im not very technically skilled with programming so could someone more knolegable point me towards the correct way of doing what i desired, which is change a rehgistry value at start up.

I could write an executable that will restore the registry entires on start-up but I can't find the registry value that controls it.
Which value are you editing?
Start / Settings / Sounds and Notifications
Page Notifications

Check on Display Message.

If that was in reply to me, I'm looking for registry entry!
This thread seems closest to the problem I have.
For me it is always that on alarm there is no popup where I can dismiss the or snooze the alarm
I always have to unlock the phone (by entering password), tap the status bar, then choose the alarm button and then the pop up appears as it should have done by itself.
This is always, no matter if I reset or not. And, I have checked on "display message" when I look into the settings.
This is freaking weird and annoying.
I've noticed the box unchecks after the sync process via Activesync.
I'm pretty sure it's caused by particular side software we have installed on our Diamons. I propose to post the side software list we have and then point out the pattern.
My list:
MS Voice Command
Finix Battery Icon
Splash ID
Sprite Backup
Diamond Tweak
Resco Explorer
Yandex Maps
Skype
CorePlayer
G-Alarm
Manila Calculator Skin
Yota TV
Nice idea but already flawed given you've not published an exhaustive list. A case in point being Activesync - that's a resident piece of software and furthermore one which you suspect as possibly being responsible!
Or are you certain it is a non-Windows issue? That's quite a leap of faith given we've all previously been scratching our heads...
I don't mean to come across negative, but I also don't want to see a futile attempt at finding a solution!
Mathew
No I am not pretty sure it's not Windows issue. However, if it is, why there are so few of us suffering?
I suspect G-Alarm, got to try to play around with it being uninstalled.
I'm having the same annoying problem since running the 2.03 official ROM. On the 1.93 I never had this problem. I didn't install G-alarm or TF3DConfig.

That's a very good point, although it could quite simply be down to a combination of i) a limited number of people using the alarm, ii) affected users not being bothered by the issue, and/or iii) affected people not realising they are being affected!

I had it on 1.93 and still on 2.03
So I loaded a new rom (energyrom3.0) running WM 6.5.
and when i did my restore for all my contacts etc using pimbackup, i see my contacts list just fine. but when someone calls, i just see their number no name or anything!!
i restored again and still no caller id....
I did a search and im not finding any info on this.
can someone tell me what Im doing wrong??
(htc fuze running energy rom 3.0)
it sucks not knowing whos calling or texting me, now I have gotten into the habit of not answering my phone because of this issue...
I cant memorize all my contacts !
Thanks for any help
anyone seen this?
its probably some setting that I have not seen...
yep - im getting the same problem and raised a
separate thread - lots of views but no replies
i think its a wm6.5 issue.
im on energy rom - which is superb so far - but the callerid and sms id is causing me problems so i may have to revert to an older rom
I can't say that I've experienced this. (Running RRE's rom though) Have you tried install slide to unlock just for the full screen caller id that it has? (you can disable the actual locking part if you dont want it). Also, what dialer are you using?
I used active sync and outlook for my syncing and backing up my contacts and it all worked fine with nrg 3.0.
yea i have a buddy that uses outlook sync to restore.
how do i use that?
im using the stock dialer.
try s2u2 you say?
i ahve had it in the past, i will install that and see how it works. just so many dam options when setting it up. can be a bit time consuming...
thanks for the replies peeps
where are your contact pictures located? In the past, if you stored them on the Storage Card, then it could also cause a delay/issue. Just a thought for something to try.
yep - i also used pimbackup - and energy 3.0 - and im having the same problem.
wonder if its to do with the backup/restore rather than syncing

I think you should just memorize all of your names and numbers. Think how much more that would impress your friends than a fancy phone...
Try ActiveSync on the PC. If you are on Vista, you will need Windows Mobile Device Center, which unbeleivably does not auto-install with a new OS image. You can find it on Microsoft website for free, the same for ActiveSync if you are on XP. However, to use Activesync, you really need Outlook to get much value out of it. The huge upside is that if you use Outlook and ActiveSync, you will have a copy of all your contacts in 2 different physical locations.

i have fixed this - somehow ?!
removed icontact - and deleted the icontact 'contacts file'
did a new PIM backup - hard reset
when i looked at the texts they still had numbers not names, however i spotted that i had over 500 texts !!! cleared the lot of them out and everything working fine. callerID and text recognition perfect ....
Whether it was PIM backup, icontact or sheer volume of texts i dont know but what I can say is that its NOT the ROM.
im a happy bunny now
I am having the same problem, curently running At0mAng V5.1 WWE with WM 6.1. I did use PIM backup to restore, but to try to fix this problem I erased all of my contacts and restored them with Activesync. No luck, I suppose I should try a hard reset.
element2zz said:

Yes really,.... If you hit the pwr button to off then back on, the callerID will be displayed. It's like a refresh of the lock screen. As for Energy Rom, I've been using Da_G's kitchen to cook since 21169 till 21222 and CallerID hasn't worked on the lock screen unless I do the pwr button trick.
I however have been using Exchange 2007 to sync my contacts in all versions though. Maybe it's something with that? I don't know...hopefully it will get resolved though.
Same prob here, I can tell u how to fix it..
Ive had the exact same problem with my stock Fuze. I checked HTC and even called them. Tried for nearly 3 hours on ATT talking with tech support. Yet these ppl only know whats written in their books. We, the ones that actually tweak and figure out the "bugs" in certain systems r the ones that know the answers. Thats why I love this site! .... sorry, got carried away. ... OK, ur most likely using the Advanced Config 3.3, if so, thats where the problem lies. If u go down to the "Phone" tweak inside of Advanced Config and set the "purge SIM contact when no SIM" Set this to YES. Now it DOES NOT delete the contacts as it says it should when u remove the SIM card and reboot. Instead it cuts off the NAME of ur caller ID yet still shows the number. Ive done about 12 master resets tryin to find the exact reason I kept losin my Caller ID name. This IS why. Though I have a different ROM, this just may be a bug that affects the entire system of any fone. Now my Caller ID works fine. When I install Advanced Config 3.3 and tweak it, the only things I change under the "Phone" catagory are Clean Period, cuz I like having all my calls in the dialer, and number of ID matches. Also when u install HD Tweak or Diamond Tweak do not set the ring to "Instant Ring". This will also cut the name of the Caller off. Yet u can change the "Ring Delay" to WITHOUT DELAY. This will solve the delay problem as well as the Caller ID disappearing act. I actually found that under another thread here. Both tweaks r set and my Caller ID has yet to cut off again. I may be wrong, yet it never hurts to try right? Good luck, hope this helps!
hi there,
also in advanced config is an option to use x digits as id.
i had the issue of it not recognnising contacts between 0 numbers and +44 numbers.
so i set this valuie to 10 digits then it doesnt matter about the zero or +44.
worth a shot.

Mine was set to Yes by default, should I set it to no? How about show Sim contacts in contacts? Very interesting though...
The only thing I save with PIM backup are my phone calls and messages. Therefore, I rely on Outlook to sync the remaining data such as contacts and appointments and I never have issues with any rom from any device using this method.
