Like I said, it installed fine, and I followed the directions as explained.
No error messages at all.

As explained in the previous post, everything seemed fine except it did not return me to the Home page.

I certainly have no idea why it won't work....Manila/Sense UIs work pretty much the same.

I'll reinstall the script and try it again. Sometimes that works.

NOPE! Still no good. This time, the script icon that appears in 'Start' failed to work after two attempts at running the script.

There was no difference in results from the previous post, no error messages, nothing out of the ordinary. It simply stayed where ever it was prior to me clicking YES, and then OK.

Maybe I'm not 'navigating' to the home page correctly?
What I did is this: I went into my email inbox and left it open, then clicked on the Unlock to Home icon on the Start screen, clicked YES, then returned to the Home screen using the hard key (the only way to do it in 5 seconds), then when the message came up "You should be able to return to the home screen when unlocked" (or something close to that), I clicked OK.

I let the device timeout and lock, then unlocked it. The device remained on the Inbox.

??????????????? Back to the drawing board.

A last thought...

When I used S2U2 and had the option 'unlock to home page' selected, the device would return to the Home page every time no matter where I left it.

Maybe S2U2 used something other than a script?

Ok. Very strange though. Why would the script work on one device and not another?

As far as I know, Yes. I haven't watched it for awhile, but it was working fine when I installed it. I will give it a test tomorrow by sending an email from my home computer to the device. That should wake it up so I can check the timeout for which it is set (15 sec). I'll post the result.

well my script does work for me . and its quite a simple script but a few things could go wrong . first it uses a registry entry to check if the device is locked . which if my other script runs perfectly fine then that's not the problem . then my script checks what your home screen is . when I ran the script , I went to my home screen then launched start , then the script found there . after I hit yes , it went back to home right away . so I left it there . it seems as if the script isn't getting the home screen properly . so can you navigate to the root of your device and locate "HomeScrn" it has no file extension , so add .txt then open it and tell me what is there . also what ROM are you running ?

That's usually the case. In my world, if it can go wrong, it does.

first it uses a registry entry to check if the device is locked . which if my other script runs perfectly fine then that's not the problem .

Let's start in the registry. Even though the other script seems to work (haven't had time to check it yet), what is the actual reg. entry. I want to check it anyway.

...........it seems as if the script isn't getting the home screen properly .

It seems this might be the case. If it does not know where to go, or how to get there, it won't do anything at all. I don't seem the device even attempting to do something. No screen blink, no delays, no indications at all it intends go to another screen.

so can you navigate to the root of your device and locate "HomeScrn" it has no file extension , so add .txt then open it and tell me what is there . also what ROM are you running ?

I'll get to it later on this afternoon. I need to run out at the moment.

I can't fully tell you, how much your efforts are appreciated. =D>

Cute little entry: 2 for lock and 0 for unlock.

..............and its not a problem I like helping people !

So do I but am out of my league on this one.

.............and when you get the chance just check that file in root of your device . thanks !

It simply says START, and your most welcome.

The script for Screen off when locked seems to be working fine.

Let me know if there is anything else you need to know.

Sure. Here's the system info right off the device
Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
OS ver: 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
ROM 2.04.651.4
Manilla version: 2.5.20121324.1 3/6/2010

The ROM on the device was flashed at a Sprint store. It's not a cooked ROM. It is an official release by HTC (March, 2010).

Ok, let me know when the CAB has been updated.

May I ask that you include the 'post number' where the updated CAB will be located in your next reply ?
(Screen Off when Locked is in #37) It simply makes it easier to locate in the pages of this thread. I don't see the old CAB for Unlock to home screen, so I am not sure where the new CAB will be.
