Question on Slide 2 Unlock

Is there a way to use this program in conjunction with my existing setup. What I am trying to say, I like my screen and they way it is all configured, I would like to have just the Slide to Unlock feature. Thanks in advance.

the answer is yes, this program wont 'undo' any thing you've setup, it will just work on top of it during the time you specify (like each time you turn your phone off, it will come on the next time you turn the phone back on) or you can even have it come on as soon as the backlight dims. You can set it to your preferences. Give it a try and let us know if you have any questions.

There's a new updated version that just came out yesterday:

Well first off, to fix the black screen issue, i just oppned the S2U2 settings, and turned the screen off then on, moved down, off then on, moved down, off then on and turned off direct draw, then clicked yes, off then on, and clicked yes... and then it works... i know you can turn it off via the registry, bu thats the ghetto way i did it... as for the error, it went away without me fixing anything, so i dunno... maybe a reboot?

***EDIT***
This is how to turn off direct draw if you get the black screen in the settings app... there is also a reg key for it
HKCU\Software\A_C\S2U2\DirectDraw - set to 0
.95 works well

I would uninstall the new, remove all registry settings (as the old ones might have carried over if you did an update) I noticed that after my first install of S2U2 I had the same issue w/ settings screen not working, I uninstalled, and reinstalled many times prior to realizing that the registry settings never got removed after uninstalls so, I blew away the whole AC reg entry and the next reinstall it worked great.

This may be off topic, but what do you guys use slide to unlock for. The screen turns off I hit the power button and I have to slide to get to my main screen. Why not just not have slide to unlock and wait for the screen to go off. Then when you hit the power button it's at the today screen. It seems like it's just one more step to get to what I need. If I am missing something please let me know. I am not trying to have a go, I just want to understand.

i had it setup only on power on so if the phone came on in my pocket i won't end up calling half my phonebook :)

I never had any problems with it on my mogul and it works just as fine on my touch. Oh yea, u should almost always turn off directdraw. Doesnt do anything but cause problems for most

Go to the S2U2 settings and scroll all the way to the bottom. U should see the option there.

I ONCE set it to 5 sec time out (def dumb idea), and now i go and change it, and it still comes up after 5 seconds (i even checked in the reg, and yes, it is changing it)

any idea?
i can uninstall and reinstall it... but i didnt want to, this is the first time i have ever had a FULLY FUNCTIONAL slide2unlock working :(, lol

uninstall and reinstall fixed it... never mind... this is def the most stable slide2unlock or s2u2, imo...

Just installed latest version. 1st install of slide 2 unlock.
No other programs installed by me.
Didn't work. Deleted.

I couldn't figure out the "How do you turn off direct draw either".

Anyone have a problem where the lock stops coming on automatically? Im not sure why or when but towards the end of the day, I realize that the lock screen doesnt automatically come up anymore.

There is an option to lock when the screen dims. I personally like the feature, but to make it usable I had to change my backlight setting to dim after 30 seconds (instead of 10) when on battery.

Is the dim option in S2U2 or the phone settings?

This 5 sec thing is soooooooooo annoying

It should be under your phone's backlight settings if I'm not mistaken. S2U2 only comes on after whatever settings u have for your backlight applies

If you don't want it to come on when it dims, its the S2U2 option.
