Hey! Nice work on the application. Tested it and it works fine on my omnia, thought I had to install the smi_wm_sdk cab file before it could work. I didn't realize it was working at first though because I expected the backlight to go off (screen go black) as well when the screen is locked through the light sensor or accelerometer Any chance of adding that? It would be the only feature I would say is missing.

Also, the user interface is fine and useable, it could do with a bit more spice to it though (just my humble opinion) <==Mainly irrelevant & unnecessary though!

Thanks for the great app

About the backlight, I was already thinking about this, I'll give it a try asap.
About the spice...I don't think it has a high priority, but with someone having better GUI designing skills then me I maybe going to work on that one too.

And...yeah right...been sleeping I guess... ...accelerator...accelerometer...whatever...

Hi nice app, i try on blazingwolf Night v1 and works perfect

+1 backlight

[blazingwolf]

This looks very nice. I'll give it a try. Any issues with cooking it in to my ROM? Credit to you of course.

No problem, go ahead. Maybe you can wait a few days, I'm still busy with the backlight option. That would be a real finishing touch I guess....

I'll wait.

I ran in to a couple of issue while trying this with the Samsung dialer.

1. When running your program and after I answer a call the program crashes and gives the error in the images.

2. The program errored while trying to uninstall it.

So at the moment it is unuasble on my phone.

Well it seems you did not install the redistributable (properly) from Samsung ( smi_wm_sdk_redist_1_1_0.cab).
This one contains the missing dll (SamsungMobileSDK_1.dll). That should solve your problem, if not let me know, I'll might have to check with the original Samsung dialer (i'm currently using Spam alert ).

Great app!

I have only one suggestion, but don't know if it's possible: The #1 use for this, at least for me, is when I'm interacting with voicemail. The problem is that you hold the phone to your ear, and then need to immediately use the keypad to save or delete the message. Is there any way that your app could be configured to override locking when I call a specific number? It would always be the same number, dialed from a stored contact entry. I think this one additional capability, in addition to turning off the backlight, would make this perfect.

V1.0.0.1 - added the backlight option...

Guys, it's updated now, not exactly changing the backlight, but toggling the screen on/off (blank).

Go ahead, give it a try and let me know how it works.

About the second 'overriding' request...I'll look into it, but do not have too high expectations. This could be complicated (lets say a challenge... ).
If I have something new or a fix, I'll let you know.
I only have limited options of testing, so I imagine there will be some bugs left when used on other configurations.

i dont know whats wrong but it keeps locking/unlocking every half second, the screen is blinking
it only works with light sensor, but after few seconds being locked its not unlocking anymore by light

Hmmm...not shure what's happening. Seems we're having a fight between AutoCallLocker (ACL) and another application. Seems ACL is locking when the other tries to lock...might be the ROM you are using. Can you find out if another application does a similar job while in a call ?

Other readers/users....do you have similar problems ?

OK, maybe found a problem that seems to resemble yours a bit.
I tested with the original dialer, and found out that the omnia can be set to blank the screen as well. Although it does not lead exactly to the described problems, it might be confusing.

Advice: disable omnia screen blanking switch while in a call. (settings/battery, tab page 'calling'...i've got a dutch device so don't know if this exactly matches a english device )

I think that's exactly what's happening: Lyncexx said that he was using the Samsung Dialer, which has a built-in lock (can be set via control panel to lock at 2, 5, or 10 seconds). There is no way to turn off this lock while using the Samsung dialer. But if you deactivate Samsung's dialer skin (ie, return to the defauilt WM dialer), then you also deactivate the lock.

There are two ways to do this. One is to fire up your favorite registry editor and navigate to the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
"Enabled"=dword:1

Change the value of "Enabled" from 1 to 0, and then soft-reset your phone.

The other (and easier) way is via the Advanced Configuration 3.3 tool -- you'll find this parameter in the 'Phone' group. (AC 3.3 has been cooked into some custom ROMs, but it you don't already have it, download from http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=418151.)

I'm using the default dialer and have no problems with AutoCallLocker, so hopefully this will also solve Lyncexx's issue.

Thanks Rob for the explanation. This was new to me too. Great Work !

BTW. The last version contained a (minor but nasty) bug that prevented toggling the blank screen option.
Repaired that one.

I really love this app, I do have one suggestion though, if it's possible.

I think another option that would be amazing would be enabling speakerphone based on the above conditions. That way when you pull the phone away from your face, not only does it unlock, it puts speakerphone on as well.

Just an idea from wishful thinking.

+1 on this suggestion! In fact, if this was possible, it would serve as a pretty decent workaround for the "don't lock when I'm calling voicemail" issue I had raised.

Yes, sounds like a nice option, and easier to implement then the other you've mentioned.
I'll put it on my list, probably will be part of the next release.

cool app and working great on sector roms..

[Veggie-man]

So far so good on Adrynalyne's ROM... I'll post back if there are any problems! Thanks so much for this!

[JohKarJes]

Released a new version: 1.0.0.3

Almost all mentioned requests are granted, and more !

Had only limited opportunity to test it, so report any bugs (if you have 'em ).

Cheers and enjoy,

JohKarJes

JohKarJes,

Thanks for this goodie. I especially like the "Toggle Speakerphone" (speakerphone on when unlocked). However, this does not seem to work in combination with the "Always Unlock" option, only in combination with the accelerometer and light sensor... I would like this to work, especially when using the phone in my car cradle. Any chance of fixing this?

Thanks and regards,

DaZelator.

Ok, thanks for pointing out, seems to be a bug, I 'll try to fix it.
