View Full Version : Freeware - KeyLock - Lock and Unlock Keypad
talk2sk 26-10-2002, 09:28 PM Just some simple sw for the 7650 that I whipped up over some cashews :-)
This will either automatically lock the keypad or unlock the keypad when the grip is closed. Sort of like seleq, but giving you the option to choose what you want. And it is small too, so :-)
Please post comments/bug reports. Thanks.

For all those who wished the App would save settings, here is version 1.1 which will do what you dreamt of last night :-D
The app currently saves settings as you change modes and loads it on startup. Uses \system\apps\keylock\keylock.ini (which is removed on uninstall).
Version 1.1 is not fully tested by me (I left my phone at a friends house :-( )... So use it at your own risk (it might format the phone, or make it catch fire :-) :D )
I would love to hear if this works as claimed by the manufacturer (ME!!).

One of the users (seanmiguel) has said that version 1.1 doesnt seem to save settings on exit
Can someone else confirm this ?? Also, someone said that when using PCSuite the version 1.0 reset itself, is this true of ver 1.1 (It might be reset but it should have gotten back the settings)..
---Edited 29th Oct 2002
seanmiguel has just clarified that settings are getting saved, so there seem to be no noticeable bugs right now in this very complex program :D

J2theIZZO 26-10-2002, 09:49 PM talk2sk, GREAT!!, another useful program....Your getting good at this aren't you. ;)
Tsunami_Hiroshima 26-10-2002, 10:07 PM Talk2sk,
Nice work, is there any way that I can run this as a background process automatically from startup?
Cheers,
Tsu
talk2sk 26-10-2002, 11:02 PM Hmm.. Background process on startup :-) Thats one that Nokia wont divulge, because of potential problems like spyware and viruses.. But I have heard that there are some who have hacks to do this.. let me see..
Feanor 27-10-2002, 02:42 AM Great job, thank you :)
i am real impressed....
you progs come to be better and better at each new one...

i2umi 27-10-2002, 03:38 AM talk2sk, you're good. This is the best. hehe. :)
But it'll be the best if it could be placed at the startup. hehe.
i think not,because if it comes up at start up,it could be more dangerous for our phones:
they could crash down(like they thit with selecQ-betas if they try to made it start-up with phone.
Nokia has no Task like this include,
so it will be better to let it like it is right now ;)

i2umi 27-10-2002, 06:09 AM Oh, btw, i just found out that this program dosen't save the mode change that i have done. It resets everytime i restart the program.
Could you (talk2sk) add the feature to save the mode?
Thanks. hehe. :D
i2umi 27-10-2002, 09:06 AM Oh. Also, i just found out that the program will also reset the mode after i backup my phone with my pc suit.
I guess is a bug..? :oops:
talk2sk 27-10-2002, 05:42 PM Ah yes, I havent implemented saving the current mode, definitely will be done ( I guess there werent enough cashews in the bowl to keep me going :-) )...
I dont get that one about resetting if backed up ? Can you explain ? Thanks.
i2umi 27-10-2002, 05:50 PM Ah yes, I havent implemented saving the current mode, definitely will be done ( I guess there werent enough cashews in the bowl to keep me going :-) )...
I dont get that one about resetting if backed up ? Can you explain ? Thanks.
Okay, for example. I leave the program at the background and the mode was set to "Auto Lock".
Then i do my usual daily backup of my phone to my PC using the PC Suite.
After backing up, i open & close the grip (keypad) again, instead of "Auto Lock" that i've choosen, it revert back to "Auto Unlock".
I guess that when backing up, the software sort of restarted the programs running at the background of the phone? Also, i guess that the reason why is that the mode was changed back to "Auto Unlock" is because that its the default mode hard-coded on the program itself since it dosen't save the changes? ;)
talk2sk 27-10-2002, 08:46 PM Yep, My guess is that is what is happening, all the more reason why i should save settings :-D
talk2sk 27-10-2002, 10:53 PM HE HE HE...
I got my hit of cashews :-)... Updated to version 1.1 ..
Read above

lookman 28-10-2002, 08:23 AM what a nice work :D :D

Is it possible that it can autolock after say 15 seconds or a minute - or whatever the user chooses? ;) (IF it already does, sorry - just haven't installed it yet and never saw any post concerning this!)
i2umi 28-10-2002, 10:27 AM I have a couple of sites to my name, but unfortunately not enough time to write them up.. maybe in a weeks time :-D

Theran 03-11-2002, 06:04 AM Hi
I have been using the keylock for a few weeks. Its been a helpful app.
But today, the auto keylock stop functioning. It will still prompt
" Lock keypad ? "
I have checked that the app is still inside the phone. I have tried remove reinstall, reboot phone but to no avail.
Current version is 3.16.
Anybody any ideas whats going on? Need licence?
Please help.
Regards
Theran
MaleBuffy 03-11-2002, 06:10 AM Are you sure it runs on the background? If yes, check what you have installed lately! maybe there is a program that conflicts with the program
Theran 03-11-2002, 06:18 AM Hi MaleBuffy,
I did not install any app lately.
How do I check whether its running in the background?
:-?
rdgs
Theran
MaleBuffy 03-11-2002, 06:22 AM Press the Menu button for 2 secs! You should see a list with some applications! One is Telephone and the other must be Keylock! If there is no keylock the program is not running! When you run the prog you exit it by pressing the menu button not EXIT :)
Theran 03-11-2002, 06:27 AM Thank you MaleBuffy.
I have checked that its not in the background app.
Had followed your advised. It really works.
Thanks alot again.
:D
talk2sk 03-11-2002, 12:54 PM Thanks muffy and others for getting people sorted with issues like this, I have been busy packing up for Sydney and more importantly my Laptop Screen BROKE :-(...
