Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

FYI>>The following may be contributing to a power drain that some have been experiencing.
I don't know for sure if there is a correlation but I just wanted put it out there so others could check and decide for themselves.


s2u2.exe may be constantly using 3-5% CPU usage even at idle which may be contributing to a power drain that some are experiencing.
I noticed this when I was using v2.01
I switched back to v1.62 which is not using any CPU% at idle.
I don't know how many are experiencing this issue or what is causing it. I have read over at xda that some are experiencing this issue also.
Just a suggestion but you may want to check this out via a Task Manager such as FDC Task Manager 3.1 or a similar program.
Again, I am just stating what I and others have experienced, and if it is an issue , A_C will surely have a fix.

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

you can do this in epst-phone directory.
I think the 10 slots for custom name/number will work for the lock dial, but I wouldn't recommend changing the 911 entries.

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

I've run into a problem since installing v2.00 and I was able to track it down and the problem is in v2.00. BTW, I'm on an Omnia.

After I installed 2.0, after so many minutes (never was able to get a good read on it) the screen will blank completely. At first I thought the phone was locked up. But, I accidentally ended up calling someone with the screen completely off. I also feel the phone vibrate when I would press a button, and I could still receive texts and phone calls. I just couldn't see what was going on.

I figured out that the screen would only come back on if I pressed the top power button. I checked the phone settings and it is not set up this way. I also couldn't find anything in the S2U2 settings that would make this the default.

Apparently, I cannot get the screen back on without hitting the power button. This is a little annoying since the power button on the Omnia is very small and located on top of the phone (not easy to press one handed). I MUCH prefer to be able to hit one of the actual phone buttons to awaken the screen.

Has anyone else run into this? Thanks!

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

I haven't seen this at all, I can wake my screen with the end button as well. Maybe another app conflicting?

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

Loving this new verssion. I just about thought A_C had died.

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

hmm, idk why i never tried it, lol ima check it out and see if it works thanks!!

edit: didnt work :disgust:, thx anyways!

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

How do you unhide file extensions?
I created a new DWORD in my Task Manager RegEdit and it is there in S2U2 as a new value.
I am looking for the Debug files which may help out alittle regarding s2u2.exe CPU Usage, but I cannot find them. They are in my File Explorer somewhere as they were created when I created the new value.
I was told to look on my pc at the files and unhide them but am new to that concept.
How would I do this?
Thanks for any advice.
Pardon me if I am using the wrong lingo :)

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

Sweet, a new version, I love S2U2.

Everything seems to work fine, except I'm not feeling the haptic feedback on the slider like the last version. I'm sure it's set up right, any suggestions?

Also, is there a way to turn off the scrolling light behind "Slide To Unlock"?
I only ask in case that might be affecting battery life. I need to preserve all the battery life I can on the TP. ](*,)

edit: nm about the light, I just noticed it turns off on it's own.

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

I'm not sure what the code is for the TP, but have you entered in anything in the Vibarate LED option in the settings?

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

I have an issue every now and then on my TP... Phone will be in standy, a call will come in, and it won't do the caller ID or allow me to answer it. I have to Slike it to unlock and then hit the green button and pray the I want to talk to whoever is calling, lol..

Anyone else experience this at all?

I'm on SSK 2.1.1 WinMo v 6.5

Thanks,

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

Yes, I've tried several settings from 0-100 with no luck.
My settings:
Inertia: 1 (heavy), also tried 0 and 10 just to see if it fixed it.
Vibration LED: tried several settings here, not sure what it means though.
Haptic: on
Vibrate on connect: on

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

This is the one you need to get right to activate the vibrate on lock/unlock. Maybe if you post in the forum for your device (can't remember which one it is off-hand) asking for the code needed to activate vibrate for 3rd party apps. They are usually universal. I have to set them in a few apps on my Omnia and they are all 11.

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

anyone having a problem with the new Mighty/Silence ROM where if the phone is locked and you get a SMS the preview will not show up and it wont show the little SMS icon in the bottom right.

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

I don't know if this pertains to the ROM you're using but I am using the 2.00 stock ROM which has Slide to Answer built in and it was conflicting with S2U2 S2Aand causing the same issues as you described.
The fix was to disable S2U2 S2A and Caller id and the problems were gone.
Using the stock S2A and caller id.

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

Checked with A_C and low CPU usage is normal as S2U2 needs to check system status, most of which are on the top bar.
As I described in a previous post, 2u2.exe is using between 0.00-1.20% CPU usage on my Diamond but stays at 0.00% most of the time.
So if you check with a Task Manager such as FDC Task Manager 3.1 and see minimal usage as described, it is normal.
Wanted to let you guys know in case you are associating battery drain with CPU usage which would not apply with such little sporadic usage.
On the other hand, I would think that if you are experiencing a higher CPU usage such as 3-5%, that may be a problem.

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

I'm using my own cooked ROM with the stock dialer... Also in S2U2 I have the slide to answer stuff all disabled, I just have the full screen picture ID enabled... I'll do some testing tomorrow at work, lol..

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

Anyone else having this problem with Omnia...

With S2U2 2.00 (and 2.01) installed, after a few minutes of being locked with the screen off, the phone will enter standby mode and can only be awakened by pressing the top power button. It will not wake with any other button presses. But, the phone is still operable as it will vibrate if rotated. It's just a pain to have to hit the top power button.

This does not happen with previous versions. Only with 2.00 and 2.01. At first I thought this was an issue with another program, but after several days of trial and error I found it to be S2U2.

Anyone else seen this?

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

volsmcfalls....that wasn't you that posted over at XDA was it? I replied over there to the same issue (so if it was you, at least your not alone). I still lean towards a third party involvement here. I just went through another issue on my Omnia that was fixed by removing a totally (at least I thought so) unconnected app!!

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

Yup, I have an Omnia and I am trying S2U2 for the very first time. I have the same problem, and although it's not a dealbreaker for me, it does suck having to hit the power button at the top. It definitely isnt just this app, because i have pocketshield (im trying to decide which one I like better) and the same thing happens with it.

One question I was hoping you guys could also help me with: pocketshield has settings where you can choose certain apps to keep running in the background, even when it's locked. I would like activesync and gpstoday (in background mode) to keep running at all times, does S2U2 stop those when it is locked? Is there some way to keep them running? So far Im liking this program, I love pocketshield and the way it works, but I wanted something a little prettier....

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

I have GPSGate running all the time and as far as I can tell, it works while locked, and I sync with my PC while locked, so it should do what you want.

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

Thank you so much Syrguy, it appears that GPSToday is still running, although Im not 100 percent sure. I am sad to say that I had to uninstall S2U2 because of a major problem I was having during calls. Choosing to have S2U2 lock the screen during a call was difficult for me to figure out, once you unlock it to put a voicemail password or something like that, it stays unlocked the rest of the call. So I decided to just use disable the call protection with S2u2, but still use it for locking while not on a call. The problem was, for some reason as long as I have S2u2 installed, my Omnia's dialer lock wont work, even though it's on in the phone settings. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate, because I REALLY love S2U2 on my phone, except for that issue.

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

I have never seen the lock on the Samsung keyboard disabled before. It always worked (and still does on this new ROM) with S2U2 running.

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

Thanks for the response Syrguy, its funny Ive been messing with it all day. I finally changed the samsung dialer lock so that it pops up after 5 seconds, instead of 2 seconds, and it seems to work so far, finally. So far so good!

Ive seen one thread here with S2U2 themes and wallpapers for the Omnia, but it only had a couple. If someone knows of a better place to find some, I would greatly appreciate it!

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

I have never changed anything on the Samsung dialer lock, so maybe that has something to do with it.

As for themes....I am assuming this is the thread you found here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...highlight=s2u2

Here is the original thread from XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...highlight=s2u2

There should be many themes in those threads, but you can always ask for custom bits (I used to do a lot).

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

Version 2.02 was just released today!!! Here are the changes:

Re: S2U2 v2.02 is Now Available
 

Thanks syrguy1969 for the Heads up :)

Title updated.

Re: S2U2 v2.02 is Now Available
 

Awesome, this is great! I am going to get it right now, and donate to him of course :headbang: I am happy I got it to work, it's a nice little app.

Thank you Syrguy for those links, quick question if you dont mind, will all those themes that you linked work on my Omnia, or will I have to resize them in some way? Not a big deal, just curious... thanks!

Re: S2U2 v2.02 is Now Available
 

Nice! good looking.

Re: S2U2 v2.02 is Now Available
 

You will have to resize wallpapers for the Omnia. Most of the time it is nothing, but some themes incorporate the wallpaper into the clock/sliders/battery, so you have to be careful with them.

Re: S2U2 v2.02 is Now Available
 

v2.02 is running fine on my Diamond.
I don't use all the features S2U2 has to offer but the ones I do use are working fine.

Re: S2U2 v2.02 is Now Available
 

i love it :D

Re: S2U2 v2.00 is Now Available
 

More and more I am thinking this has something to do with S2U2 not playing nice with Mobile Shell 3. I just did a hard reset and went through some testing, but it still happened. I decided since I was doing a hard reset and a lot of testing I would flash to a new ROM. When I did, I began installing things slowly to try and replicate it. At first I thought this was being cuase by G-Alarm, but it isn't. I didn't have the problem until I installed Mobile Shell AND S2U2 together. The problem is very random and can not be purposely replicated. It's got to be something with the combination of S2U2 and Mobile Shell 3.

Are you also using Mobile Shell 3? I would like to collect some more information on it and pass it on to A_C so he can maybe look into it for a future update. There is even a thread on SPB's forum about getting S2U2 to play nice with Mobile Shell (it seems to have been a bigger problem in earlier versions of S2U2 and Mobile Shell 2).

Re: S2U2 v2.02 is Now Available
 

You may be on to something there volsmcfalls!! Mobile Shell has a long history of clashing with other apps, including S2U2. I remember when I first started flashing I had a huge issue with the text counts either being way off or not working at all! I think you have a good idea on following the SPB forums, they do work on things like that (if they can).

Re: S2U2 v2.02 is Now Available
 

Yeah, but the folks at SPB are also notorious for not really listening to their community and customers. Even if there is an issue with MS they are more likely to either ignore it or offer a band-aid rather than actually fixing it.

I'd put more money (more money, as in like my whole house) on A_C figuring out how to get S2U2 to play nice before SPB figures it out and actually does anything.

Re: S2U2 v2.02 is Now Available
 

I actually dropped MS3 when I went to WM6.5. I never thought I would, but I really like Titanium so far!!

You are correct about A_C, but don't discount the SPB forums. You may not get info from the actual SPB people, but there are some of the best developers from some other forums I belong to (including from here) that try to help people with bugs like yours out!!

Re: S2U2 v2.02 is Now Available
 

Anyone else have this issue when you use the Volume Control option & in an active phone call if you push the volume up or down the volume level will display correctly but the actual volume will jump to the lowest setting. It'll be stuck there & the only way I can fix it is either soft reset or turn off Volume Control then raise the volume normally. I know I can leave Volume Control off but if I do that then I can't control the volume of S2P. It was working fine before I upgraded to version 2.xx. Any of the 1.xx versions didn't cause this problem. I hate to go back to the previous versions since it seems that the 2.xx versions are a lot smoother. Any help with this would be appreciated. I haven't found any posts in regards to this issue I hope I'm not the only one!
